Chat Transcript

 

Don't let the holiday prevent you from sneaking a few minutes of Week 16 prep time.

Senior Fantasy Writer Dave Richard will stop by after you open all of your presents, Friday at 1 p.m. ET.

Feel free to submit a question in advance or stop by on Friday.

12/25 Chat with Dave Richard
(12/31 19:00 PM) Merry Christmas and welcome to our Week 16 Fantasy Football chat! Lots to get to as teams get one last practice in before the weekend. Let's help everyone win their Fantasy matchups this week!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Neil, Walnut Creek, CA - PPR. Dallas Clark or Bo Scaife. Is 1/2 a game of Dallas better than a full game of Bo?
(12/31 19:00 PM) There is a serious misconception about the Colts' playing time for Week 16. Here's a quote from Colts head coach Jim Caldwell: The plan is to attack it just like we do every week. We're going to prepare to go in and play hard and we haven't made any declaration on who's playing how long or anything of that nature, much like we did last week. We did the same thing last week and focused in on the ball game and adjusted as the flow of the game went on.
(12/31 19:00 PM) My educated guess is that the Colts will try to win the game at any cost to move to 15-0. The Jets will provide a challenge but not one that will slow down Peyton Manning or Dallas Clark. I think the Colts will play until the game is decided. I'd start Clark.
(12/31 19:00 PM) mike, detroit,mi. - hi dave in the champ. game need your help start 2 a.p. j. harrison, or j. charles and need 3 gates, d. jackson, simms-walker or s. smith car. like gates and smitty nervous about jax and like harrison over charles what do you think thanks
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, I'd sit Harrison of the three RBs. Yes, he's hot and in several cases I'd recommend him, but Charles and Peterson have much better track records and should be able to produce. Of the WRs, I'd go with Gates, Jackson and Smith. Again, MSW is a good option this week but I'd sit him here.
(12/31 19:00 PM) working on Christmas, charlotte, nc - Help me, Dave! Finals week and I need to beat the biggerst trash talker in my league. PPR league, first of all Pick one: Jamaal vs tough Cincy D Beanie with easy Rams D I'm thinking Jamaal b/c of PPR Please pick 2: Smith of the Giants vs Panthers Finley vs Seattle Bowe vs Cincy Meachem vs TB Pick one D: MIN or ARI Thanks and Happy Holidays! And thanks for working on Christmas Day with the rest of us schlubs.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Ho Ho Ho, working. Hey, somebody's got to do it! I'd go with Charles over Wells. Charles has scored in six straight games and he'll be versatile enough to be effective against the Bengals. I'd go with him over Wells, and the PPR factor helps a ton. I'd go with Smith and Finley for the other two spots and the Cardinals D at home vs. the Rams.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I should also mention ... If you have a Fantasy 'start or sit' question, just check out my rankings at: http://bit.ly/vZNx5 and you will find your answer fast! You won't have to wait for me to answer your question!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Frosty the Snowman, Magic Hat - Big Dave - Do I sit Peyton and start VInce Young tonight? Same for Dallas Clark (I can play FInley instead). But VY is a problem as he plays tonight (I can draft Henne, Moore, Freeman, Hasselback). Also 2 out of Stewart, Snelling, Bell and Buckholter. - thanks for your help all year.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd still roll with the Colts. As for the RBs, I'd start Stewart and Snelling -- I'm not expecting DeAngelo or Turner to play this week, though nothing is official at this point.
(12/31 19:00 PM) mike m., clinton twp,mi. - dave, merry christmas to you and yours. need a x-mas gift which 2 out of L.T.,j. harrison, f. jackson and j. stewart & favre or a. smith? thanks
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, thanks and Happy Holidays to you. I'd go with Harrison and Stewart at RB so long as DeAngelo is out. Giants are so-so vs. the run. I'd also go with Alex Smith vs. DET over Favre. I don't love Favre this week and am benching him in one of my leagues.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jeff, Waukesha, WI - Dave, In PPR League Championship I have two dilemas. QB... Sanchez or Ryan AT WR...Wayne, Walter, Bowe, or Austin. Need three of the four. Thanks.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I don't mind Matt Ryan this week. Good matchup against a Bills secondary missing more starters (Jairus Byrd and Terrence McGee are out for the year). I'd go with Wayne, Austin and Walter at WR. I don't like Bowe's matchup against the Bengals' corners.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Kris Kringle, Back on the North Pole - Dave, need your help. I know I should start Charles, but what about Wells and Harrison in a .5PPR Leauge?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Harrison better, but it's not by much. I actually did a neat little update on Harrison this morning -- go to his player page and check it out. He'll catch the ball as much as Wells, if not more, and the Browns have run the ball well with Derek Anderson under center.
(12/31 19:00 PM) merry xmas, hastings - Hello i nedd one of these two s jackson or l maroney, and also i need one of these three r white antonio bryant or chris chambers
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hello, Hastings. I'd start Jackson over Maroney -- Maroney might lose reps to Fred Taylor this Sunday. We'll keep you posted. Of the WRs, I really like Roddy White against that bad Bills secondary.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Yazzers, Canton, Mi - Merry Christmas Dave!! I am in a quandry. and am looking for advise. My two QB's are Schaub and Rivers. Both have likeable match-ups and both are must starts. This is final week of my playoffs and need to make the right choice, can only start one. Who has the edge? Yazzers
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hey Yaz. I love Schaub this week. He has the safer matchup than Rivers and has been red hot. I also think Schaub might be a Top-3 QB heading into 2010.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mrs. Clause, Jersey - Need some help: Pick one from Forte, Forsett, and Morris. Also, Giants D, Steelers D, or Browns D?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Afternoon, Ma'am. I didn't know the North Pole moved to Jersey. I'd start Morris from those three RBs and I'd actually trust the Browns DST this week. Good matchup at home vs. Oakland and you'll also benefit from Josh Cribbs' play.
(12/31 19:00 PM) BBGun, Ft. Collins, CO - Looking at Romo vs. Alex Smith...who do you like going....do you think the Niners will focus on running first?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Don't shoot your eye out with that thing. I'd go with Romo. His history against Washington stinks but you nailed it -- Smith has a good matchup but might have a 150-2-0 type of day. Romo should be able to exceed that. He's been playing real well, too.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, dallas, texas - Should I start Maurice Morris or Mendenhall at RB and at WR Sidney Rice or Chris Chambers or Josh Morgan Thank you.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd ride with Mendenhall, even with the tough matchup. I think the Steelers will come out like gangbusters and Mendenhall will be a part of it. At WR I'd go with Rice even though the matchup is outdoors in the cold and Rice pretty much is a dome receiver. If Chambers had a slightly better matchup I'd ride him.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Buff, Del Mar, Ca. - Merry Christmas Dave I can't decide between Mason and Driver. I'm leaning Mason. What do you think? Flip a coin?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Sure, let's flip one now, Buff. Let's see ... the coin I have here has a amped up Steelers defense on one side and a tired, mail-it-in Seahawks defense on the other. Maybe before we flip this coin we look at the Seahawks defense a bit more: They're tired, they're on the road, they have nothing to play for. Yeah, Driver's been bad of late but he should be able to put up some good stats at home against an uninterested defense. Don't flip the coin, go with Driver.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd also like to take this time to promote our upcoming Playoff Fantasy League Challenge, where you guys can play against me and other CBSSports.com Fantasy Pros into the postseason. So if you haven't had enough Fantasy Football, you can get some more and play vs. me. Details to come here on the site and on my Twitter account (@daverichard).
(12/31 19:00 PM) John, Chicago - DST & Kickers? Bironas vs. Crosby Bengals vs. Giants (Giants looked good last week)
(12/31 19:00 PM) They did indeed. I would go with Bironas, who has seen lots of opportunities for the Titans. The weather tonight is expected to be cool with a decent breeze -- nothing serious -- in Nashville. So load up on Bironas.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Morten, Copenhagen Denmark - Hi Dave, im in dire need of your help! Im facing Rodgers and Harrison this week for the championship, they scored something like 90 points combined last week!! Snelling, Barber, Moreno or Bush as 2nd RB? Also, White, D Jax, Chambers and Roy Williams, pick 3
(12/31 19:00 PM) Greetings from the States, Morten. I like Snelling a lot this week so long as Michael Turner is out, which I expect. I would also sit Chambers among your WRs.
(12/31 19:00 PM) valerie, miami, fl - Is Mr Fred Taylor gonna play? How much does that hurt Maroney?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Stay tuned for that, Valerie. If he does play I expect around 10 touches to go to him and away from Maroney, and that does include goal-line work.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Brenda, Cincinnati, OH - Ho, Ho, Ho, Dave. Need to know if I should start LT tonight for flex or go with Snelling or Mendenhall. Which QB Matt Ryan or Smith. And since it's Christmas, how about 1 more present Vikings, Bengals, or the Falcons, D?
(12/31 19:00 PM) LT is safe, but Snelling might get bumped higher in my rankings later today if he indeed is looking like the starter for the Falcons. But I do like Mendenhall better than both. I'd go with Smith over Ryan and I'd also go with the Vikings DST. Happy Holidays.
(12/31 19:00 PM) rob, charlotte NC - Greetings Dave! I need to start 1 of the 2. Snelling or J Charles. Thank you Dave, Merry Christmas.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Real simple, Rob. Ride with Charles.
(12/31 19:00 PM) ScoperT, Boca Raton, Florida - Who should I start this week, Jerome Harrison or Thomas Jones?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hey Scoper ... you're right down the street from me, eh? I'd bank on another big week from Harrison. Did you know that two of the last three NFL RBs that topped 275 rush yards in a game came back the next week and had 130 yards and a touchdown? That would be fine with me from Harrison! He's got a great matchup, too.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Tim, Detroit - You said you'd start Clark, but what about Wayne? Where do you put him with Greg Jennings, Driver, Ward?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Wayne is a hot topic this week. I don't see him as a must-sit in general, but I do like all three of your WRs more than him. The reason for the concern is that he'll see a lot of Darrelle Revis, the Jets cornerback who has shut down the likes of Steve Smith, Randy Moss, Marques Colston and Andre Johnson. Wayne could still score, but I don't like his chances for big yardage.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, Torrance, CA - Thanks for the help this year. I'm in the finals and have to decide between the Houston kicker or the New England kicker. Any thoughts. Merry Christmas.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with the Houston kicker. Both offenses will do well but the Houston kicker has the better weather.
(12/31 19:00 PM) jason, albany la. - ho ho ho need your help! reggie wayne or steve smith car
(12/31 19:00 PM) There's another WR I'd start over Wayne. Smitty is your guy. I am not sold on the Giants D being a threat against receivers.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jim, Stephens City, VA - If Williams is out for the Panthers should I go with Stewart or Harrison?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with Harrison over either Panthers RB.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Loyal Twitter Follower, Boston Ma - please pick 2 one must be rb L Maroney C Williams C Johnson det J Forsett L Johnson L McCoy M Morris M Crabtree A Collie D Bowe i have the Ravens D but Colts and Falcon are available on waiver
(12/31 19:00 PM) Love the Twitter fans (follow me @daverichard). Maroney is the RB (I don't like the rest of your RB choices) and I'd take probably take Morris as the other one. I am not a fan of Calvin Johnson at all this week. And I would try the Colts DST in favor of the Falcons and Ravens DSTs.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Brian, Chicago - Hey Dave, I'm in a points per reception super bowl and I need to pick 2 RBs from this nice list: AP, Thomas Jones, Pierre Thomas, Jonathan Stewart, Laurence Maroney. Thanks and Merry Xmas!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Love helping out my fellow Chicagoans. And that is a nice list Brian. I'd start AP for sure and Jones as a second option. Not great PPR running backs but they should be not only the safest but also the best. You'll get to see Peterson run all over the Bears as an added bonus!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Frosty, Hawaii - Do I sit Ray Rice for Jerome Harrison?? Harrison's matchup just seems so much better, but Ray Rice got me t the championship. No PPR
(12/31 19:00 PM) This is a bit too much, Frosty (how can you be Frosty if you're in Hawai'i?). I'd ride Rice, who should deliver a strong total-yardage result for the Ravens. Harrison does have a better matchup but Rice is too good to sit. Wish you could start both.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Chris, Rochester, NY - What do you expect from Michael Bush this week? 100yds? td? Everybody needs to follow @daverichard on Twitter... so good.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Haha thanks for the endorsement, Chris. I try to help people out on Twitter. I do like Bush as a low-end No. 2 RB. Great work last week, and while there's no guarantee that he'll do it again this week, he and teammate Darren McFadden have a good matchup. Like the Browns with Harrison, the Raiders can't deny giving Bush another look.
(12/31 19:00 PM) oleary93, janesville, wi - Michael bush or justin forsett
(12/31 19:00 PM) Bush over Forsett
(12/31 19:00 PM) P.S. I wouldn't trust any Seahawks this week.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Rich B, Northville, MI - Dave, I am dying here. My running backs are Beanie Wells, Steven Jackson, Jamaal Charles, and Pierre Thomas. Which 2 will give me the best chance to win the Superbowl? By the way, I have never liked starting 2 runningbacks in the same game.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I won't tell you to start two from the same game. I like Charles and Jackson. Now, I could also make the case for Beanie Wells -- he's going to do well against the Rams -- so if you wanted to pull Jackson for Wells, you could roll the dice. Jackson's been very reliable in Fantasy (Charles too).
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jacob, Shawnee,Kansas - Do I go with Austin Coollie this week or Vincent Jackson? Do I go with Ricky Williams or Laurence Maroney? Do I go with David Thomas or Brent Celek?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jacob, Happy Holidays. I like Jackson way, way more than Collie. And I like Ricky more than Maroney though his matchup vs. Houston is no cake wak. Also, Celek is your TE -- I believe Jeremy Shockey is expected back this week for the Saints.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Kurt Warner, Phx,Az - Hi Dave, Merry Christmas! Who is going to have the better game Me or Matt Schaub at Miami? Will I tear-up my old team ? maybe get ahead get benched early with a lead? watch B.Wells run it ? Is Matt playing for more to get his team in playoffs and have a bigger game ?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Merry Xmas, Mr. Warner. Share my sentiments with Brenda and the kids. I think Schaub will play much better than you, and I think there's a chance you could rest once you and your mates build a big lead. Maybe even more of a chance YOU rest that Peyton Manning!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Al, brockton ma - Do I trust Reggie Wayne in my championship or go with Kenny Britt? PPR league 1 pt per 10 yds receiving?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I don't love Britt this week. He's playing hurt and last week Vince Young went in other directions on three touchdowns. Wayne remains your guy.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Lisa, Chicago - Beanie, Grant, and Charles are ranked right by each other. Which two do I pair with AP to win my championship?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Wow, what a team you've got. I like Grant's matchup so much, and Charles has been red hot. So I'd sit Wells. You should RUN away with the title! (get it run? ahahaha ... yeah, it stinks to work by yourself sometimes ...)
(12/31 19:00 PM) dave g, voorhees,nj - hey dave please pick 2 out of these 3 fred davis,j stewart,meachem thanks and merry xmas!!!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hi Dave, great name! I would sit Meachem. He's fallen off the map a little bit.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, Dallas - Start 3 D. Jackson, B. Marshall, Welker, Gates, Ochocinco Playing against Rivers as QB
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, I would go with Jackson, Marshall and Welker. Tough to pass on the other two but those three should do the best.
(12/31 19:00 PM) VIC, BUFFALO,NY - Dave , I lost most of my RB to injuries . Choose one :J stewart, M Lynch and Westbrook ??
(12/31 19:00 PM) Vic, I'd go with Stewart, especially if DeAngelo is out.
(12/31 19:00 PM) OK guys ... let's kick it into Lightning Round -- your short questions, my short answers. Let's see if I can answer all of your questions and make some Xmas wishes come true. Remember, If you have a Fantasy 'start or sit' question, just check out my rankings at: http://bit.ly/vZNx5 and you will find your answer fast! You won't have to wait for me to answer your question!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Stuman, Jackson - I need a second WR from the following: Roddy White, Panther Steve Smith, or Greg Jennings. No PPR
(12/31 19:00 PM) White.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jim, McKinney - I have to site D. Williams and I need to pick either A. Bradshaw or B. Jacobs
(12/31 19:00 PM) If receptions count and long runs help, Bradshaw is your guy. I like both of them against the Panthers.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Seth, Norman, OK - Pick 3 Sjax, Grant, Charles, or Harrison. Pick 1 Finley or Fred Davis. Pick 1 D/ST Packers, 49ers, or Cards. Merry Christmas!
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd sit Jackson! How about those apples!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Bob, Pitt,Pen - vINCENT jACKSON OR aUSTIN cOLLIE IN NON PPR
(12/31 19:00 PM) V-Jack. No brainer.
(12/31 19:00 PM) nate, charlotte, nc - jamaal charles or jerome harrison PPR?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I can't get away from Charles this week.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, Boston, Ma - MERRY CHRISTMAS DAVE TO YOU AND YOURS AND THANKS FOR BEING HERE... 0.5PPR..I NEED 2.....JEROMME HARRISON, MARONEY, OR MENDENHALL? TY
(12/31 19:00 PM) Harrison and Mendenhall.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Bill, Willowbrook, IL - Ward or Colston?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I actually don't like Colston this week. Read his player update for more info. Go with Ward.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, OKC - Non-PPR TD heavy league. Pick1 > Jennings,Boldin ,Welker
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with Boldin. Great matchup.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Buck Wild, Charleston, SC - Ryan Grant or Jerome Harrison?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Grant over Harrison. Safer, slightly better expectation.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mace, Philly - Ricky W. or Stewart
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with Stewart so long as DeAngelo is out.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Kevin, Boston - Wells or Grant?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Grant over Wells. I know I sound like I don't like Wells this week but I really do. I just like other RBs more.
(12/31 19:00 PM) CJ, Orlando - Don't they give you guys a day off??? LOL Warner or Schaub? Addai or M. Morris?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Not during the football season, CJ. I'll have some off-days in May. I'd go with Schaub and Addai over MoMo. Addai not a must-start, though.
(12/31 19:00 PM) l, Boston Ma - M.Bush or M.Morris Bonus for 100 yds and 50 long tds SUPERBOWL!!!! ty
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with Bush
(12/31 19:00 PM) Eric, Danville - Pick 2 Young, McNabb, Big Ben
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd sit VY
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jeff, Phoenix, AZ - SJax or Jerome Harrison?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd ride the hot hand in Harrison. Dangerous -- Jackson is safer -- but I like his chances for a solid game.
(12/31 19:00 PM) thomas, rochester, ny - romo or vince young? romo scares me
(12/31 19:00 PM) Romo's not that scary. He's been playing real well and the Redskins secondary isn't that good (ask Eli Manning). Stick with Romo.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Brenda, Cin OH - Been burned by Meacham for 2 weeks, him or D. Mason? Thanks Dave
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mason is safer this week Brenda
(12/31 19:00 PM) HELP HEATHER in HOTLANTA, Atlanta , Ga - need 2 Rb mendenhall, Deangelo, Bush, weaver, sproles
(12/31 19:00 PM) Heather I'd go with Mendenhall and Bush (Reggie or Michael)
(12/31 19:00 PM) Joker, Michigan - M. Morris or A. Bradshaw
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd roll with Bradshaw, Joker
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, Detroit - MSW, Bowe, Morgan, M Morris - Pick 2, PPR
(12/31 19:00 PM) Love the outpouring of support from Detroit/Michigan today. Must be a white Christmas. I'd start MSW and Morris.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Maurice, Jacksonville, FLA - Do i dare start Jerome Harrison over myself this week? New England scares me.
(12/31 19:00 PM) I wouldn't do that. The Patriots will have their hands full with you, Maurice.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Lenny, West Allis, WI - Kicker question: Hartley or Bironas?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hartley is as good as it gets right now.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Dave, Sterling Heights MI - Roethlisberger or McNabb
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Big Ben much better.
(12/31 19:00 PM) marcus Fishman, LA,Ca - I am in the Championship game got there with the 6th most points in the league?? I can play 5 of the following 6 players . Who do I sit? Ricky Williams,Jerome Hariison, Lawrence Maroney, Randy Moss, Vincent Jackson or Sidney Rice Please give me your input. Viunce Young is my QB.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Way to luck into the title game - finish the job! I'd start Moss, V-Jack, Ricky, Harrison and Rice.
(12/31 19:00 PM) John, Ann Arbor - Dallas Clark or Fred Davis. Merry Christmas
(12/31 19:00 PM) Stick with Clark.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jeremy, Piedmont, SD - Waiver Wire D question...Cincy, Browns, or Falcons??
(12/31 19:00 PM) Hey Jeremy. I'd go with Browns!
(12/31 19:00 PM) brian, iowa - start calvin johson or kevin walter im playing for 5th place
(12/31 19:00 PM) Good luck, Brian. I'd go with Johnson over Walter. But not by much.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Pete, Detroit - Stuck on the flex position, Non PPR , Roddy White or Fred Jackson?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like White to score, not sure if Jackson will.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike, USA - Minn D or 49ers D?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd ride the Vikings DST one more time. But it's close -- you could almost go either way.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Dave, TitleTown U.S.A. - DST Bengals or Giants?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like the Giants DST better, but not by a ton.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Matt, NJ - Eli or Alex Smith
(12/31 19:00 PM) Alex Smith but it's close.
(12/31 19:00 PM) anujchatterjee, Oakland - M.Bush or Ganter
(12/31 19:00 PM) Get off the Ganther bandwagon this week. Very tough matchup. I'd go with Bush.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jack, Boston - GAME IS TODAY.....VINCE YOUNG OR ELI? TY
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Eli better by a nose.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Matt, Newark, DE - Please! I have two questions: What TE should I go with Witten, Davis, Or Miller? Lastly which kicker gives me the best chance for points Longwell or Bironas?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Davis at TE and Bironas at kicker.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Joe B, Quincy,Ma - Celek or Scaife
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd go with Celek over Scaife. Sorry I couldn't answer your longer question here. Email me Joe.
(12/31 19:00 PM) DT, Flintstones, MI - Pick one flex, non PPR: Roy Williams, M Crabtree, Forte
(12/31 19:00 PM) Tough one DT. I'd try Williams. I can't really trust Forte.
(12/31 19:00 PM) DaveinSA, San Antonio, TX - I have Santonio Holmes on the bench and I'm in the championship game. I'm thinking about starting him over Sims-Walker. Any thoughts?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I would do it. He's scored in each of his last six against the Ravens. Read his latest player update for more on Holmes.
(12/31 19:00 PM) mike, Syracuse - Tomlinson or Jerome Harrison, can't decide who to start. I have Grant and Benson penciled in for my other two spots
(12/31 19:00 PM) I'd sit LT. Tough matchup. Harrison has it real good.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mike B, Arlington, VA - Is Reggie Wayne going to be a bust this week?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I think the worst he could do is 60 yards. Not great, so consider other elite options over him.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Rocky, Philly - F.Davis or J Finley?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Finley a lot this week. Way more than Davis
(12/31 19:00 PM) Ricky, Miami, FL - Would you really start Jerome Harrison over me?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Yep. And I'm on the level, too.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jackson, Pittsburg - keep going back and forth on the Defense to start. Cardinals or Cowboys
(12/31 19:00 PM) I can see why you're going back and forth. I like the Cards at home against an awful Rams offense.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Harry, LA - Brees or Rivers non ppr
(12/31 19:00 PM) Like the commercial says ... Drewwww Breeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Joe, Boones Mill, Virginia - Should I start Carlson at TE or go to the waiver wire? Thanks and Merry Christmas
(12/31 19:00 PM) He's been pretty hot, and he's the only Seahawk worth a lick against the tough Packers defense. Unless waivers has some good options, I'd trust him.
(12/31 19:00 PM) shane, FL - charles MJD or ced ben pick 2
(12/31 19:00 PM) Wow! Tough trio to pick two from. I'd honestly sit MJD here.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Ryan, DC - pick 2--Meachem, Harvin or walter--Championship game! Happy Holidays!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Same to you Ryan. I'd sit Walter.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, Seattle, WA - Austin Collie or Santana Moss?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Collie
(12/31 19:00 PM) Brian, Dekalb, IL - Wayne, Smith -NYG, or Meachem. Witch one would you pick out of the three?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Brian I'd pick Smith against the Panthers.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Oops, wait ... I misread that one. I'd go with Wayne. Sorry.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jim, fl - well I have tryed most ot the season to get a question answered and especially now the championship game. Well any way you have a healthy and prosperus New Year.I will try next year
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jim, you can always email me at dmfantasyfootball@cbs.com.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Steve, Boston - TY for your time...o.5 PPR..Need 1...Beanie, Charles, or Harrison....2nd league...Charles or S. Jax? TY
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Charles in both leagues.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mean Joe Green, Greensburg, PA - Championship Game QB - Phillip Rivers or Alex Smith?
(12/31 19:00 PM) I like Rivers better.
(12/31 19:00 PM) HELP HEATHER in HOTLANTA, Atlanta , Ga - Peyton or Flacco?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Don't like Flacco much this week. Peyton's the man.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Mace, Philly - Can Fitzgerald be relied upon this week? pick 2 (Fitzgerald, White, or MSW)
(12/31 19:00 PM) He sure can be. I'd sit MSW.
(12/31 19:00 PM) chef, tx - Ray rice, MJD, or Jmaal Charles??
(12/31 19:00 PM) Another tough spot where I'd sit MJD.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Eddie, Clayton, N.C. - Favre is a start em but I have Schaub, who would you start?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Jamey and I disagree on Favre. I wouldn't start him this week. Schaub is who you should go with.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Bil, Hinsdale - Ricky or Beanie?
(12/31 19:00 PM) Aha! Here's a spot where I like Wells!
(12/31 19:00 PM) Trefer, Columbus, Ohio - Would you go with Fitz this week in AZ (Rams) knowing he is hurting and they don't need a full game or go with Chambers....been tearing it up.
(12/31 19:00 PM) Last question for the chat. I would go with Fitzgerald here. The Cardinals need a win to build confidence, plus they still have an outside shot at the No. 2 seed. So they'll play to win. Chambers has a tough matchup at Cincy. Both should do OK, Fitzgerald should do the best.
(12/31 19:00 PM) OK gang, I'm done for today. If your question didn't get answered, send it to me at http://twitter.com/daverichard and I'll try to get back to you. OR, email it to dmfantasyfootball@cbs.com. I hope your Christmases have been great -- here's a wish for a Happy New Year, and a CHAMPIONSHIP for all of you! GOOD LUCK IN WEEK 16!!
