I can start two receivers for our semi-finals in fantasy football.  I have thought about it and can't decide.  

Cooper Kupp - Against the Jets.  I'm pretty sure he'll get the start

Amari Cooper - Dallas is inconsistent, Cooper has done well in the last weeks, playing SF so will get matched up with Richard Sherman (who is past his prime, but still pretty good)

Chase Claypool - Playing Cincinatti, probably biggest boom potential, but biggest there are sooooo many weapons at receiver for the Steelers.

Robby Anderson - Against GB - He's so up and down, I am not sure if Bridgewater brings consistency.  Projected for the highest total...but has been super inconsistent. 

I've got Riley Cooper and Keenan Allen?

Here's my thought. Allen has been a beast for the past few weeks but defenses are gonna start paying attention to him. Normally I would go with Allen, but the synergy between Foles and Cooper can't be ignored...

What to do?

I have a 1997 Ford Expedition that I recently took a lift kit off of. The last piece that I need to get the big boy up and running again is a bracket to hold the front differential to the frame. I am having difficulties finding used parts and was wondering if I can use F-150 parts on the Expedition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I have Frank Gore and Matt Forte.

Frank Gore - I think the 49ers will still be a run first team, which means a lot of touches for Frank Gore. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I mean Gore is 29 years old, which is about the age limit for RB in this league (with a few exceptions). He's been a workhorse his entire career and I don't know how much he has left to give.

Matt Forte - The Bears have added some impressive offensive weapons, which should open things up for Forte and the running game. However the Bears added Michael Bush to the team which worries me that they will split carries often in order to keep Forte fresh. Great for the Bears, bad for fantasy football.

Forte lead the NFL in yards from scrimmage when he went down with injury last season. But he doesn't score touchdowns. Gore is the 49ers best offensive weapon and puts up consistent numbers in yards and TD's scored, but every season he has been so banged up at the end, that he disappears for the last four or five weeks (right as FF playoffs start).

So who would you keep?

First of, let me say that this comparison is simply done to note changes in someones game, not comparing the actual players....

But is it time for Dwade to change his game ala MJ? Early in his career Jordan was athletic enough to blow by everyone, and get to the rim. His second 3-peat Jordan developed into one of the best jump shooters in the game because his athleticism had slipped a bit. Wade still has the talent to get into the lane, but I think that if he were to take the time to become solid in that 15-20 foot jump shot range, he would be more effective. It would open the lane a bit for him.

I'm not saying that he has a bad jump shot, but Jordan was so good that you had to be out on him. I noticed the Thunder playing of Wade a bit which would have allowed him to take good looks at the basket from about that range.

Look, KD is the real offensive threat right? As a Heat fan I'd rather Westbrook be saying this.

The thermostat has been replaced 3 times in about 6 months. I know this is irregular, but I can't figure out what else could be wrong. The water pump has been replaced in less than a year, and I find no evidence of a blown head gasket. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be great.

I purchased a house that has some hedges...I don't know what kind. But they have gotten out of control. They are 6 feet tall and we would like to get them down to 3-4 feet tall. But I am afraid that cutting that much will kill the hedges. What suggestions do you have?

So a few days ago my enging starting running rough in the lower RPM's. The check engine light came on and the codes stated a cylinder 6 misfire. I put some fuel injector cleaner through it and stuff to see if that would help it. It didn't. I changed the spark plug in cylinder 6, no change. I switched the coil packs from 4 and 6 to see if the problem followed to cylinder 4 (thereby isolating the problem to the coil pack) now I get a code stating mutliple misfires. I have replaced the fuel filter in case there were issues with fuel not getting to the cylinders. I am still have issues. What else could it be?

I have now replaced the fuel injector on cylinder 6 and it's still having issues.

I have lost the instructions to my misting skull any idea where i can find out how to get it to work?

Okay so I have two decent defenses on my fantasy league. The Colts vs Sea and the Bears vs Det. With Hasselbeck injured...the seahawks should be pretty stagnant...but detroit is detroit...Who should I start. The Colts will be without Freeney and Sanders (there two leaders on D) so i am leaning towards the Bears.

I am in a 12 person league and wanted to know all your opionions on my team. Please tell me what you really think..what can I do to improve?

Bench in ( )

QB - McNabb (Cassel)

RB - Forte, LT (McGahee)

WR - Bryant, Colston, Ward (Muhsin Muhamed, Derick Mason)

TE - Dustin Keller NYJ

Def - Patriots (Colts)

I would like to improve on my back up RB, QB and find a better TE...but I'm in a 12 person league and the guys have no idea...So I don't know how trades will go.

(people offering Jeremy Shockey and Terrell Owens for LT and Forte) Seriously?

My other Running Back is Matt Forte..and it's a standard scoring bracket. I think Jamal Lewis can be a scoring machine he is the only threat in the red zone...and the Hines Ward for TO is definite upgrade. What do you think...

What do you think...TO and Jay Cutler for Antonio Bryant?

Okay I hate doing this...because I hate it when people do it...but I have a genuine question.

The Utah Jazz are shopping Carlos Boozer. Since they have matched the offer made to Paul Milsap, they need to dump Boozer. Boozer has expressed interest in the past in going to Miami to play. The Jazz are in need of a big physical center, and a defensive perimeter player.

How about this...

To the Jazz:

Mark Blount 7'0" 250lb Center

Dorrell Wright 6'9" SG (known for defense)

To the Heat: Carlos Boozer.

To me it makes sense...the numbers work and all three players have contracts that expire at the end of the year of things don't work out. The Heat get to make a run in the east with...Chalmers, Wade, Beasley, Boozer and J. O'Neal.

The Jazz now get some of the physical presence and defense that they have needed and get to move on to Millsap (who they obviously feel very good about). I also think that the areas where the Jazz lacked last year was a good SG defender for the likes of Kobe...and physical presence in the middle.

Okay so I need to pick up another defense. I can either drop/trade Willis McGahee or Chester Taylor...(my other RB's are Matt Forte and LT). Who should I drop?

Okay so my fantasy league draft just got over with. I ended up drafting 7th and (amazingly) picked up MJD. My first pick at RB (at 7) was going to be Matt Forte but he got picked up 5th. Although it was a live draft, the person who got Matt Forte at 5 must have been snoozing because he is now requesting a trade...Matt Forte and Hines Ward for MJD...

Here are my thoughts. Matt Forte was a beast last year and teams were stacking 8-9 guys in the box. Now with Jay Cutler and a legitimate deep threat with Devin Hester. The Bears running game should get a little easier. The O coordinator for the Bears likes to run those deep threats on occasion and it should keep opposing defenses honest. In addition the Bears revamped their offensive line...

The Jags on the other hand have questions at QB. So I think MJD is going to get a lot of touches, but he will tank out at the end of the season due to lack of pass support.

So the question is...do I make this trade? I don't think Hines Ward is a big deal although he is an upgrade to my number 3 receiver (Antonio Bryant and Colston are my first two). What do you think?
