They should be second in the East behind the Eagles, probably around 9-7 fighting for the wild card with Tampa, Chicago, and NO.

Who is a more exciting player: Brandon Jacobs or Jahvid Best?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Jahvid Best, Running Backs, New York Giants, Detroit Lions
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 to start at flex nonppr, J. Best, R. Bush, P. Harvin, B. Jacobs, or S. Smith(Car)
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Jahvid Best, Percy Harvin, Brandon Jacobs, Steve Smith (CAR)
I'd start Reggie Bush. It seems fairly clear that he's going to going to be the man in Miami. Party in the city where the heat is on!
Who to start at flex Tim Hightower or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Tim Hightower, Brandon Jacobs
Tim Hightower, definitely. I'm a HUGE fan of him this year. I think he's going to be ill.
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
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
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
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
Hmm, good question. I'd actually wait another week to see how GB is going to split him and Starks.
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
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
Yeah, I'd rather have Mathews. He gets way more touches (both carries and receptions). With Jacobs you are praying for a TD every week.
Fred Jackson or Ahmad Bradshaw
Asked in: Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, Fred Jackson, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles
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
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
Definitely. I think CJ will turn it around and you can't get him at a lower value than right now.
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
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.
I've been offered Owen Daniels and Eric Decker for Brandon Jacobs and Nate Burleson. I am an Antonio Gates owner with Fred Davis as my back up. Good deal? n
Asked in: Nate Burleson, Brandon Jacobs, Owen Daniels, Antonio Gates
No. That is WAY too many TE's. I'd be trying to give them away, not bring more in.
Should I trade Nate Washington and Robert Meachem for Brandon Lloyd and Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Robert Meachem, Nate Washington, Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Lloyd
Could use a flex reco: Brandon Jacobs, Steve Johnson, or Brandon Lloyd. whatcha think?
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Steve Johnson, Brandon Lloyd
Steve Johnson he's the most talented out of he three and he's basically the only option in the pass game for the Bills
Drop Marshawn Lynch for Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs
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
Yeah I like that trade a lot for you. I don't think Smith is much better than Jordy and Hardesty has the potential to be a beast if Hillis continues to sit out. I love Jackie Battle too.
RB3: Jacobs or Battle? QB2: Tebow or Hasselbeck? TE: Daniels or Winslow? PPR.
Asked in: Brandon Jacobs, Tim Tebow, Matt Hasselbeck, Owen Daniels, Kellen Winslow
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
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
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
I think you go with Starks or Jacobs depending on your needs. Jacobs has more upside with Bradshaw out, but Starks will probably get his usual 7-10 points.
Earl Bennett or Brandon Jacobs in the FLEX spot? (Standard Scoring)
Asked in: Earl Bennett, Brandon Jacobs
Tony Romo or Eli Manning? Reggie Bush or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Reggie Bush, Brandon Jacobs
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
Matthews or Jacobs
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Brandon Jacobs
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
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.
Who is more valuable: Marion Barber or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Marion Barber, Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, Matt Forte, Running Backs
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
Decker. Tebow loves his boy Decker so he'll get plenty of looks. Jacobs is not doing much these days.
Got screwed with Demarco Murrey and used all of my alloted moved in my league. I have both Brandon Jacobs and Bradshaw from Giants. Should I start them both in my back field, or start Rashard Mendenhall for one of them (thinking for Jacobs)? Mendenall going against tough SF def.
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw
I feel ya, I lost Forte and DeMarco in the last two weeks, so tell me about it. I have Mendy also, but he is going up against the best run D in the league. I would probably start Jacobs and Bradshaw since they will continue to split the carries and you cannot predict who will get the most points.
