Ask Question

Who is a more exciting player: Brandon Jacobs or Jahvid Best?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Jahvid Best, Running Backs, New York Giants, Detroit Lions

2Christopher M Davis
I laughed out loud at this. Jahvid Best is far more dynamic on the field. When I think of the two I think "how many times can you watch stock footage of a freight train running over stalled compact cars?" For me at least, the answer is Jahvid Best. The guys got crazy potential if he can stay healthy and watching him walk that line and beat guys in the open field with his box of tricks and power, knowing the next hit he takes might end his career with a concussion... pretty awesome. Tired of watching Jacobs steam roll defensive backs and throw tantrums.

Who is a more exciting player: Brandon Jacobs or Thomas Jones?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Thomas Jones, Running Backs, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs

0Johnny Hewitt
TJ still produced last year even behind Jamaal. Jacobs fell off the wagon and lost his head...er, helmet.

Who should be my 2 RB's for week one?
Asked in: Mario Manningham, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning, Reggie Bush, Thomas Jones, Brandon Jacobs, Ricky Williams, Todd Heap, Kellen Winslow, Eddie Royal, Chad Henne, Dan Carpenter, Detroit D/ST, Tampa Bay D/ST

3Daniel Okopnyi
Ugh.. You went way too heavy on your WR draft there amigo. RBs win leagues, even in PPR (there are RB's that receive too). Let's see.. Brandon Jacobs for sure, he is feeling good this week, and I like the matchup for him. I am not confident with Reggie Bush, or Ricky Williams.. and Jones? wow. I think Reggie Bush wins by default sir. Go Jacobs and Bush.

In my yahoo league what does the 3 under the waiver block mean for me?
Asked in: Mario Manningham, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning, Reggie Bush, Thomas Jones, Brandon Jacobs, Ricky Williams, Todd Heap, Kellen Winslow, Eddie Royal, Chad Henne, Dan Carpenter, Detroit D/ST, Tampa Bay D/ST

1Daniel Okopnyi
It means you are third in waiver priority. So let's say you put in for a waiver for.. A better RB (judging by your current setup), and 1 other guy puts in a waiver for the same RB, if he is after you in the waiver priority you win when the waivers process (usually Wed at like 2 am PST or something), but if he is ahead of you in the waiver process, he wins the pick. If the waiver goes through, your waiver priority takes a hit and you are usually lowered a few digits. If it doesn't go through, you keep the same number or move up (if someone ahead of you uses a waiver pick). Waivers are unlimited, but if everyone is wanting the same pick, then it's in your best interests to keep your number at 3 or higher.

Kenny Britt vs Brandon Jacobs for my Flex spot?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Kenny Britt

3Anthony Best
I have to say Jacobs.. RB's are always better fit for flex spot and Jacobs is going to split the snaps with Bradshaw evenly this season.

I have Ryan Grant on my bench now, but I'm considering dropping him for either Brandon Jacobs or Mark Ingram (both were dropped this week and are on waivers) What do you guys think would be the best play here?
Asked in: Mark Ingram, Ryan Grant, Brandon Jacobs

1Robert James Smith
Geez i assume you are in an 8 team league to be dropping guys like that after week one. If you are in a 10 team league I would at least try and trade Grant before simply dropping him. Out of the three Ingram has the most upside and especially if you are in a keeper league

Flex: Brandon Jacobs, Jabar Gaffney, or Brandon Gibson?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Gibson, Knowshon Moreno, Michael Crabtree, Washington Redskins, New York Giants, St. Louis Rams

0Robert James Smith
I think Gaffney and Gibson are both better than Jacobs especially in PPR. Gaffney and Gibson are a coin toss in my opinion so go with your gut. I'd probably lean towards Gaffney because as you said AZ looked really bad and I'm a little worried about Bradford tweaking his finger again..

Should I trade Brandon Jacobs for Ryan Mathews?
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Brandon Jacobs, San Diego Chargers, New York Giants, Running Backs

1Jd Dre
It's always funny to read people saying someone is 'struggling' - keep in mind it's only been TWO games, it was against New England AT New England, and SD was playing from behind the whole game. I'd take Tolbert or Jacobs over Matthews.

Fred Jackson or Ahmad Bradshaw
Asked in: Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, Fred Jackson, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles

2Sean Weinstock
Yeah, I'm going with the algorithm on this one. My reasoning is that Jackson's playing New England while Bradshaw's playing the Eagles. Even if Jacobs gets some of the calls, I'm still thinking Bradshaw's a better call.

.5 ppr, Jacobs or Meachem
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Robert Meachem

1James Steigelman
Jacobs is the power at the end of the drive. Probably not doing a lot in the way of receptions. But I'm not thinking you're going to get a ton of points of Meachem because NO spreads the ball out, so he's not going to have a ton of receptions. I think this is a straight up projection play, so I'll have to go with Jacobs.

Trade Wallace for CJ?
Asked in: Roddy White, Mike Wallace, Steve Smith (CAR), Brandon Jacobs, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Darren Sproles

0Christopher James Anderson
Yeah Wallace is good but in PPR he's probably your weakest. Don't love CJ's start but if you are a believer, do it.

trade Calvin Johnson and Ricky Williams for R Mendenhall and Dwayne Bowe?
Asked in: Calvin Johnson, Rashard Mendenhall, Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Gibson, Larry Fitzgerald, Mario Manningham, Chad Henne, Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, Reggie Bush, LaRod Stephens-Howling, Todd Heap, Kellen Winslow

2R J
What's your RB situation? Megatron is looking like one of the best receivers out there. Both Mendy and Bowe are buy lows now, Mendy more then Bowe.

Could use a flex reco: Brandon Jacobs, Steve Johnson, or Brandon Lloyd. whatcha think?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Steve Johnson, Brandon Lloyd

0Anthony Best
I like Lloyd! In the short week with Rams he was targeted 12 times and that was with Feeley! That should get even better with Bradford, I would think. I also like 5 of the 7 next match-ups he has!

Drop Marshawn Lynch for Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs

0Anthony Best
Jacobs has said he has absolutely no desire to rush back from his injury, so it's hard for me pick him up. I don't think he will go back to even splits with Bradshaw when he gets back. I think he will get no more than 10 carries. I would no matter what drop Lynch though!

Should I make this trade? Steve Smith for Jordy Nelson, Daniel Thomas, and Montario Hardesty
Asked in: Jordy Nelson, Daniel Thomas, Montario Hardesty, Brandon Jacobs, Marshawn Lynch, Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks

1Tom Kastorff
Agree with Keith, Jordy is not much of a downgrade at all. I would take Battle and Jacobs. Lynch sucks, Hardesty is a plodder that needed 30 carries to get 90 yards, and could disappear once Hillis is back. Thomas is hit or miss week to week. Do the trade

Help deciding players to start week 10. scoring plus league. make it or break it time.
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Steve Smith (CAR), Anquan Boldin, Beanie Wells, Brandon Jacobs, Owen Daniels, Jake Ballard, New York Giants, New York Giants, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys

1Keith Goldner
Start Beanie and Mendenhall unless Bradshaw is out (if so, start Jacobs over Mendenhall). Those WR are tough. Steve Smith and Boldin are definite starts. I'd probably go with Decker in that last spot.

For the Flex Brandon Jacobs, Marshawn Lynch, or Stevie Johnson?
Asked in: Steve Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs

1Alexander Robershotte
i would really try to look elsewhere. those are all very poor matchups. I think there is more potential with johnson as the cowboys can be lit up even though the the bills O seems to be declining significantly

Flex pick1 - David Nelson, James Starks, or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: James Starks, Brandon Jacobs

0Anthony Best
I would go Starks as well. Jacobs against the 9ers is a bad bad match-up!

Tony Romo or Eli Manning? Reggie Bush or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Reggie Bush, Brandon Jacobs

1Tom Kastorff
I love both, but Romo has the better schedule and weather, and once Austin is back, the better receivers. Jacobs is better this week, but once Bradshaw is back, Bush is the better long term option.

jacobs or nicks
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Hakeem Nicks

0Anthony Best
if ppr I would go with Jacobs. Nicks is the better boom option.

Matthews or Jacobs
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Brandon Jacobs

1Anthony Best
Both good match-ups, like Jacobs slightly better since he gets red-zone touches.

Who to start at Flex? Eric Decker or Brandon Jacobs
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs

0Anthony Best
I don't think there is anything scaring about GB D. they have been bad all season and haven't even faced a good team. The 1 good team they faced was week 1 against No where they almost lost, and No had a bunch of injuries at that time. But Still think Decker and Jacobs are a gamble. Jacobs will get you the consistent points out of the 2, while Decker has the 1 or 2 big play potential.

Pierre Thomas or Brandon Jacobs
Asked in: Pierre Thomas, Brandon Jacobs

0Anthony Best
Here I would go with Jacobs if Bradshaw is still out. otherwise THomas.

Who is more valuable: Marion Barber or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Marion Barber, Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, Matt Forte, Running Backs

2Khai Nguyen
At this point in the season, it would be Barber. He has the momentum with Forte out, whille Jacobs has the disadvantage with Bradshaw coming back and some not so great matchups.

Flex Position Help! Start Eric Decker or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs

1Tom Kastorff
those are your only options?? no waiver wire?? Neither are great. Bradshaw is back so Jacobs is diminished. And any WR for the Broncos is a risk these days. But if I had to pick, I probably agree with Eddie - go with Decker, he has the upside of a bomb td score. Any RB for NYG will have tough sledding against DAL this week.
