week 11 fantasy help

Im induring a 5 game losing streak here, I need to hit the brakes. I need help at the wr/rb flex position. I have Horn/Driver starting
and Portis/Alexander at RB..here are my other options:

RB T Bell v Jets
RB W Parker @BAL
WR Porter
RB McGahee @SD
Toomer WR

Some sites say no way on parker, but Yahoo is predicting him to score 11 points!! San Diego is great against the run. Gotta like
Tatum against the Jets but Anderson starts ahead of him. Thanks

  • bell vs NYJ


    Parker wont even start, plus bal plays stl tough
  • For what it's worth, Toomer seems to be emerging as Eli Manning's go-to guy......the bloom seems to be off the rose with Plaxico and the word on Shockey is that he won't play.
  • McGahee is facing the #1 ranked "D" versus the run.

    T. Bell won't start, but has a chance for some vulture points.

    FWP - Willie Parker practiced on Thursday and is expected to return to the starting lineup this weekend for the Steelers. Coach Bill Cowher did not say whether it would be Jerome Bettis or Duce Staley as the backup RB. "That will be a game day decision," said Cowher. "It's a nice problem to have." - [Thu Nov 17, 6:20 PM] - directly from my fantasy PAY website.

    ".....Baltimore is currently 12th in the NFL averaging 102.4 rushing yards allowed per game, with 6 rushing scores surrendered to date. Over the past 3 weeks, they have coughed up 110.6 rushing yards per contest, including last week's 35/133/1 surrendered to Greg Jones and the Jaguars. With Ray Lewis sidelined and an ineffective offense forcing the defense onto the field (they played for 34:29 last week), there is only so much a team can do before wearing down....."

    Porter - good matchup vs wash - but Collins has a ton of guys to throw to.

    Toomer - week 8 and 9 he only had 5 receptions total for 81 yards. Last week he was better, but I wouldn't put money on it.

    Honestly, sorry, but I don't like any of 'em. But I would go with FWP IF he starts.

    Sorry, that's the best I can offer you.

    You're on a 5 game skid with Alexander and Portis ? Who's your QB ? Gus Frerotte ?

    McGahee's good, but Buffalo figures to be behind early so they may have to abandon the run.
    Even splitting carries, Tatum Bell puts up some pretty nice numbers so I'd have to go with him.

    I'd go with Bell too. My league gives double points for any score over 50 yards so Bell would be the obvious choice there as he's most likely to bust a long one. I assume your league isn't that way, but I always liked to get RB's in before WR's if I have the choice, they almost always get more touches/chances and therefore more likely to score.

    McGahee might be facing a tough run defense, but he'll probably carry the ball 18-20 times. So I like his chances of scoring more than Parker (who is hurting still) or either of your receivers. Bell or McGahee. JMO.

    Thanks all, I switched Bell for McGahee. As far as how I can be on a 5 game losing streak with Alex and Portis...last week, going against
    my bucs I sat Portis....yeah yeah I know, but I can't root for a guy going against my team. Ive had a few total loser guys also..Porter
    has been a bust, Horn has been hurt and Tony Gonzalez hasn't scored a TD all year.

    Im looking to get off the scnide this week...my qb's...MCNad, Hasselback and Eli

    How is it possible? Uhm, because you know absolutely nada about sports (as evidenced by your incessant rants that make absolutely no sense).
