Which NFL team should make an effort to hire Chip Kelly to be their head coach?
Chip Kelly is either not a fit in the NFL or he is not a fit in any of the teams suggested due to personell. This guy runs the football and he does so exotically. To me, his best fit is with the Carolina Panthers. Cam Newton and a stable of running backs can carry the load in a fast and stylish offense. The team has a lot of good pieces. Hire the right defensive coordinator and you have a young team fit to run Kelly's successful offense. Newton proved that he can play when he gets a shot to run. He still has the potential to be elite, a brilliant strategian and schemer like Kelly could take all that natural ability and artfully deceive defenses. Once Rivera is fired, Kelly would be wise to take a look there.San Diego makes no sense: Rivers is a franchise quarterback, they need a coach that can work with him. Not every team has a top 10 talent at the most important position in football, you do not just trade that advantage away. Philadelphia and Cleveland are good names, if unlikely options. Philly is a good bet, but Cleveland has been burned by hotshot college coaches before and Kelly would likely not want to go to an unstable team with no good recent history or quarterback. I would still choose Carolina over Philadelphia: so many free agent busts on the Eagles and a quarterback likely at the end of his rope there.
Can you start Houston over Green Bay for your defense?
I keep hearing "Stick with your best players in the playoffs", however im tempted to start Houston @ the Rams this week. My other option is Green Bay @ the Steelers. The Steelers have lost 5 straight, and in their last game gave up a ton of sacks and a few INTs. Plus the Packers are one of the best D's in the league this year. On the other hand, Houston has a chance of putting up some numbers here. Should I risk playing Houston or stick with Green Bay? Heres my matchup: My Team: Peyton Manning (Scored 30.02 against JAC, we count Qb TDs as 5 points in my league) Marques Colston - Wr Miles Austin - Wr Ricky Williams - Rb Ray Rice - Rb Jamaal Charles - Wr/Rb/Te Ryan Longwell - K Houston or Green Bay - DEF vs. Tom Brady Reggie Wayne (Already scored 19.2 points) Robert Meachem Pierre Thomas Adrian Peterson Laurence Maroney (Playing the Bills DEF, worst in the league at defending the run) Lawrence Tynes Denver - (Their playing Oakland, best match up for DEFs this week)
What kicker & defense to start in Fantasy Football start week 15?
On kicker, it's always a crap shoot, but you may need to pick someone else up for this week. Rackers dinged himself Monday night. He's a great start in a dome IF he's 100%, but he sure didn't look it 2 days ago. So monitor this closely. And Crosby is risky in Pitt, which is the worst stadium for outdoor kicking and you see almost no 50 yarders. If Rackers is dinged, Gano (the Skins new kicker) is massive and looks great. And you're right to bench DeAngelo. It isn't just the matchup, the Panthers just lost Oher, which means no lanes anyway. On DEF, you have to go with Philly. In most scoring formats, they lead because they do the things that create points. AZ can play well, but rarely puts up big points.
Fantasy Football - Who should I start this week? (RB) Jamaal Charles or Justin Forsett?
I would stay tuned, because Julius Jones might be back this week, which would hurt forsett, and make Charles the obv start. Maybe Forsett should start over Jones no matter what, with better yards per carry, but Seattles Coach said Jones is the starting RB when asked last week. I would start Jamaal anyway though, being the for sure number 1, and he has been dominating.
How does my Fantasy Football team look this year?
Hi, I'm kind of a fantasy football noob and every year I ALWAYS have bad luck. Last year I lost Jamaal Charles, one of my WRs got suspended and being an idiot I traded away one of my best WR for Mike Tolbert... Anyways, I want to prepare this year and not be an idiot. What do you guys think of my draft this year and what improvements should I make? I know my QB spot is a huge risk but theres a bunch of decent ones on waivers (Roelisburger) that I can claim. I am in a 10 man league Here's my team: QB: RG3 WR: Andre Johnson WR: Marques Colston RB: Ray Rice RB: Marshaun Lynch TE: Vernon Davis W/T: Vincent Jackson K: Dan Bailey DEF: Philadelphia D: Jared Allen Bench: Steven Jackson Bench: Anquan Boldin Bench: Santonio Holmes Bench: Rashard Mendenhall Should I drop anyone on my bench and strengthen another position? Thanks in advanced for any input.
