Please do give a BRIEF description of your league and format along with your question. Sometimes advice on who to sit or start will vary a TON based on how your scoring works and size of league, etc. So, tell us how many teams are in your league, do you use PPR (Point per reception) scoring and any other info that you can provide. We'll give you our .02 - and tell you when it's a coin toss!

Very excited to see the new site!
One stop shopping for all my fantasy needs....

I'm already wondering if you'll need more room for this section -- seems like it'll be a popular place. I almost wonder if it'll need four forums: QBs, WR/TEs, RBs, Def/K. I guess time will tell!

Glad to have you aboard!

Thanks Stone!

I waffled a bit with how many forums we should have but I figure if we start simple we can break it out from there. I expect right around the key draft times last week of Aug and first week of Sep and then Sunday mornings for gameday advice this forum could be chaos! We'll keep a good eye on it.

Good to see there is a football forum and thanks for being the first port of call Dyv. Once it becomes more active, this thread would be a good sticky, especially for those newer to the game.

Yeah it could branch out possibly depending on activity. One I could see is keeping the 'lineup discussion' section as purely for that, game day roster decisions. But perhaps having another section on general roster management (e.g. strategy, FA pick ups etc).

I'm hoping our 'start 'em/sit 'em' weekly article the night before game day will actually answer a fair bit of the questions, but those last minute pieces - and we know some coaches are so tight-lipped that it's 2 hours before game time before they tell you a key player isn't even going to suit up or the famous 'we'll see how they do in warm-ups' talk. You're probably right, horror - a separate forum JUST for game day chatter may be appropriate. I'm hoping the atmosphere and straight-talk/answer feel around here will lead to hundreds of us hanging out Sunday mornings. Setting lineups, chatting about possibles, pointing out latest tidbits, etc. I'm not pretty enough to be on tv, but I can definitely break down the info.

Woohoo... now we don't have to clutter up the Hockey Lounge with our fantasy football questions!!! Love this!

Me too...prepping for a draft next friday. it's a dynasty league so we only draft rooks and unowned players.

Hey, tell me something.....Steelers backfield is stacked with Mendenhall (PUP), Dwyer, Redman, and Rainey. But now I am hearing murmurs about Baron Batch. Per NFL.com

...gangbusters in training camp before getting hurt -- will be the classic change-of-pace runner/pass catcher in what oughta be a dynamic offense on the banks of the three rivers this season.

Now Redman is a plodding hump, Mendenhall never really seems to reach the level he was projected to hit plus separated should now his knee. Dwyer and Rainey are unknowns.

In a 12 team dyno, do ya take a flyer on this Batch dude, if ya have room to sit and wait?

Don't bother with Batch. Never say never, but he's a late round pick from 2011 who tore his ACL last year and is on the mend. He's going to have to be a beast just to get into the practice squad if the others are healthy. Rainey, on the other hand - he's got some Sproles-like potential in him and until PIT gets a real yardage threat TE having a flicker back may be the best way to keep defenses honest.

Bring on Football!!!

Thanks Dyv, nice to have a level headed, objective oppinion. I get caught up trying to find thos "diamonds in the rough" sometime I get lost and need a reality check.

Hey..Shonne Green aside for the moment, does Joey McKnight have lead back ability?

Again, I'm in a dynasty with McCoy and Ray-Ray as my leads. Drafted McKnight late round last year. Wondering if it's worth saving a roster spot for him.

Thanks....and great to have you on board.
