If fantasy football is your game, The Loose Piggy chitchat forum on toledoblade.com is the place to be to discuss stats, trades, and injury updates.
(2:00 P.M. ET) Welcome to NFL week 12 fantasy football fans—and to The Loose Piggy on toledoblade.com! Let’s get to chatting football.
Brian, Toledo, OH I need to play two at WR this week and have Muhammad CAR, Johnson CIN, and Holt STL. Which two should I play?
(2:05 P.M. ET) Survey says… play Johnson and Holt. While there is no clear cut leader in this group, don’t look for Carolina to continue their rebound against TB while GB’s secondary offsets concerns with Holt and the greatest show on ‘The Frozen Tundra’ while the Cincinnati game could turn real ugly with Johnson primed to take advantage of a Cleveland Brown’s meltdown as they say goodbye or push Davis out the door.
Paul G Should Randy Moss be a starting fantasy WR this week, or should owners give him one more week to recover. Hate to have another one of those token starts like we saw earlier in the year from him.
(2:13 P.M. ET) Give him one more week as it looks like the Vikings are doing the same. Mike Tice and the Vikings hopefully learned from those previous ‘token’ starts and will not put Moss in the lineup and risk a further setback until he is healthy. Last week’s win over Detroit stopped the free-fall and put the focus back on their playoff drive and a healthy Randy Moss is the key.
Jim, Sylvania, OH Would you start Mike Pittman or Chris Brown at RB this week?
(2:20 P.M. ET) While the match-up against Carolina is tempting—our call is to go with Brown as coach Fisher and the Titans are more committed to the run and look to reestablish themselves over the last five games.
Mike D, Stryker, OH Wow! What more can you say about Peyton Manning? I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
(2:28 P.M. ET) We hope all our readers had a great holiday as well! With the defense showing signs of improvement (OK it was the Lions and Bears… oh my!) and James back at pre-injury form—hopefully Peyton won’t have to have it all fall on him when the games start to get bigger. What a day! One of the teams we’re playing owns both Manning and Harrison—try beating that combo this weekend.
DK I'm sure he'll be a good play against SF this weekend, but is Chris Chambers ready to regularly rack up some FFL points for the rest of the season?
(2:35 P.M. ET) Chambers is, and has been ready to contribute and now that AJ Feely is the QB consistency will help for the remainder of the season. However, with games at Denver and Baltimore plus New England at home the schedule would challenge an established offense—which is not to be confused for the orange and teal. Best of all is to pick your spots next week against Buffalo and later against the Browns and we hope to have options the remaining weeks.
Tom, Toledo I'm sure he'll be a good play against SF this weekend, but is Chris Chambers ready to regularly rack up some FFL points for the rest of the season?
(2:44 P.M. ET) Well, we passed on Goings earlier but this one’s a little tighter call. Upon further review, Goings is still watching and not playing this week in fantasy football. Westbrook is more involved in the passing game and Philadelphia looks to improve its balance as it prepares to host yet another NFC championship game.
(2:50 P.M. ET) Third times a charm Mike D, as you’re the Pepsi winner today! Thanks for all your questions and comments—keep trying for the prize. We’ll be in touch. Have a great and safe holiday weekend football fans. Regards, The Loose Piggy. Permanent Link
