Now... R.P. does not have any fantasy team. Do not have the time to devote to it to do it proper like... But. I love reading this shit.

It does give you some insight into the game itself.

This is from CBS Sports Line.


Start 'Em & Sit 'Em is our weekly look at the best and worst matchups from around the NFL and how they might affect lineup decisions for your Fantasy Football team. We are not in the business of stating the obvious, so you won't be reading here why you need to start Peyton Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson or any other top-tier players.

Aaron Rodgers returned to practice last week and returned to Fantasy prominence. Maybe Allen Iverson should try it. Are we really talking about practice?

When Rodgers hurt his shoulder in Week 4 at Tampa Bay, he was unable to go through a full week of practice. It started to show in his play with his timing off and his stats dropping.

But Rodgers went through a full week of practice prior to facing Chicago in Week 11 and passed for 227 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also completed 76 percent of his passes.

Now, Rodgers is ready for a fantastic matchup at New Orleans, which is why he's the Start of the Week. The Saints come into this game allowing 235.2 passing yards per game with 16 touchdowns on the season and are missing their best defensive back in Mike McKenzie (knee).

Those stats are generous given how quarterbacks have done against New Orleans recently. In the Saints past four games, Jake Delhomme (195 passing yards and two touchdowns), Philip Rivers (341 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception), Matt Ryan (248 passing yards and two touchdowns) and Tyler Thigpen (235 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception) have ripped through their defense.

Rodgers should have similar success, and you can count on Greg Jennings and Donald Driver to play well also, so start both this week. Rodgers also has done well on the road with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in five games away from Lambeau Field. He has two 300-yard games on the road at Detroit and Tennessee.

With Rodgers back at practice, the Packers offense should continue to shine. So yes, we are talking about practice because it appears to work for Rodgers, and that makes Fantasy owners happy.

I drafted Tom Brady with the first overall pick in one of my leagues, and got a steal on Rodger's in like the 5th round or something. Needless to say, I've started Rodger's every week except the first and am very much in the hunt for the playoffs.

If anything has been a problem on my team, it hasn't been Rodgers.

Funny how Fantasy football makes you do things you would never think of doing in the real world.(Just my opinion, please don't make a big deal out of it)

In a matchup I must win to move into a tie for 1st place, I have inserted A. Rodger's into my lineup replacing.........yep you guessed it, that guy playing for The New York Jets.

Jets going against Ten., tough matchup for anyone, although most of the "talking heads" are predicting The Jets will have to throw the ball to win the game.

AR should be able to put up big numbers against The Saints, let's hope, because this is a conference game and it looks like tiebreakers may come into play at the end of the year to determine who wins The North.

Divisional games #1, Conference games #2, if The Pack does lose any of their remaining games let it be against the AFC teams left on their schedule.

The best scenario of course is to run the table and leave no doubt who belongs in The playoffs.

Wow, as much as NFC-North is in the NFL (15-25) that lineup is awesome! Forte acutally is one of the best fantasy plays this year and I loved CJ in college. But, in relation to the thread, A-Rod is going to tear through the Saints D, and as much as I love Brees, our secondary is just too good this year. If we don't win this game against the Saints, I'll piss my pants.

I have Drew Brees on my team, so i gotta sit him..because I can't take any chances of rooting against the Packers. But I have Kurt Warner...i gotta great deal on him before anyone knew he was going to have a good season mwahahahaha

I have Rodgers and the Pack D on my fantasy team. Funny enough, EVERY SINGLE TIME the Pack win, I win. When the Pack lose, I lose. I'm hoping they go on a huge winning streak from here on out :thumbright:

i agree with sinbad. i drafted a-rod with the very last pick in our draft just to make my friends laugh because my team was called "Cold-blooded Aaron Rodgers". i've started him since week 2 and never looked back.

I picked him and matt forte VERY late in the draft and didnt plan on starting either one of them.... I had big ben and darren mcfadden and they have been disappointments.

Actually I wasn't planning on starting Driver either because I had Braylon Edwards and he hasnt done anything either

The moral to this story is to always have quality depth on your team lol.... and pick sleepers like Aaron Rodgers and Matt Forte

Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (22h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (22h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (22h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (22h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
