The No Huddle Episode 10-15

Paul Mecurio returned to the podcast this week, and we had hilarious conversation.

If you’re not in the play-offs, or get eliminated this week, remember to keep on eye on games the rest of the way out. For most fantasy owners, the 2011 (if the is one) starts now.

Matt Cassel will start fort eh Chiefs and is a pretty good option against the Rams. The Browns Colt McCoy too is a good emergency back-up if you’re in need.

RB Javid Best is active for the Lions. WR Josh Cribbs is back for the Browns, which bodes well if you’re league gives points for special teams as well as WR production, but he doesn’t get a ton of the latter. With McCoy in he may see a bit more though.

Start everyone in the Jacksonville/Indy game.

The Bears D is finally a solid start again, outdoors in Minnesota. QB Brett Favre is out, Joe Webb will start.

QB Tim Tebow will start for Denver. Obviously not a fantasy start especially in the play-offs, but worth keeping an eye on for ’11.

RB Chris Ivory is out for the Saints, making a good opportunity for Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas.

K Joe Nedney is out for the season. A good replacement shouldn’t be hard to find.

We can’t say this enough. Your starters are your starters. If it’s a close call, look closely at the match-up. Who is playing the weaker D, is there weather and how have they been trending say the last three weeks.

Good luck in your games!

The No Huddle Episode 1-14

A popular guest indeed, Smitty from Imagination Movers checked in, and the episode got a ton of hits! As you may recall, his colleague “Mover” Scott was with us a few weeks back, so we thought we’d check in with Smitty to see how things were going in their fantasy league. We had a great chat.

Before we go around the horn, a little advice. If you’re out of the play-offs or get eliminated to today, you still want to pay attention to what’s happening. The moment you are knocked out, you’re 2011 season begins. Guys like RB Mike Goodson in Carolina, the Rams offense, the Browns etc. Keep an eye on how guys play here late in the season, and who emerges. More on 2011 in the coming posts and on the podcast.

Now, going around the horn:

The big news of course is that the Vikings-Giants game, which had been moved to Monday night, is in jeopardy again. The roof on the Metrodome has partially collapsed and stadium officials say there is no way the game can be played Monday or even Tuesday in that building. It now looks like the game will be moved to Ford Field in Detroit, as the Giants have no cold weather gear with them, ruling out a game in the University of Minnesota’s outdoor facility.

So that means a day of rest for QB Brett Favre, and then a shorter week for both teams going into your play-offs.

Other than that let’s make it simple. Your starters are your starters. Check nfl.com an hour before game time for actives/inactives and don’t look back. Good luck in your games!
