Roto-Rx - Answering Your Fantasy Football Questions

If your question was not answered this time, you can go directly to the source @ https://www.roto-rx.com/where Dr. Roto will answer all your Fantasy Baseball and Football questions.

The Doctor is in...

Question #1: Who gets a better bump in fantasy value, Mark Sanchez or Braylon Edwards from the Edwards move to NY? – Jonathan, Almador City, CA

Jonathan: Dr. Roto will say Sanchez. Edwards is another weapon that should help Sanchez find his other players a bit more (paging Dustin Keller) and open up the offense too.

Question #2: Would you start McNabb this week or wait a week? – Pat, Temple University

Pat: I don't know who your backups are, but McNabb should be a decent play this week against Tampa. Tampa has been horrible on defense and this game should be a nice transition game for McNabb as he recovers from his injury.

Question #3: I have two Steelers running backs and need to dump one to fill other needs. Should I keep Parker or Mendenhall? – Adam, Binghamton

Adam: Willie Parker is still not fully recovered from his injury. Mendenhall is a sure starter against Detroit. Short-term pick is Mendenhall, although keep listening to what Mike Tomlin says about the situation. Willie Parker may be football's version of Wally Pipp.

Question #4: I’ve been offered a trade, Steve Slaton for Brandon Jacobs. Should I pull the trigger for Slaton? – Tim, Baldwin Park, CA

Tim: Slaton finally had a good game last week against the Titans. Jacobs has been struggling somewhat this season, but should get healthy against the Raiders. Tough call here, but I think I would stay with Jacobs. Slaton seems a bit tentative in his running and has had problems holding onto the ball. Jacobs is on one of the top rushing teams in the NFL. Close one, though....

Question #5: Who is the better fantasy QB, Aaron Rodgers or Matt Schaub? – Douglas, Reno, NV

Douglas: Dr. Roto is a fan of both QB's this year. Rodgers has a great arm, plays in an explosive offense and runs very well for a QB. Big problems are that is OL stinks and he has the toughest playoff schedule around. Schaub has some big weapons in Houston. He just needs to stay injury free. Dr. Roto will take Rodgers by a hair...mainly because of those rushing yards which may add up as he runs for his life most games!

Roto-Rx

If your question was not answered this time, you can go directly to the source @ https://www.roto-rx.com/ where Dr. Roto will answer all your Fantasy Baseball and Football questions.

The Doctor is in...

Question #1: Where does Frank Gore rank in your list of fantasy running backs? – Albert, San Francisco, CA

Albert: Dr. Roto is a big fan of Frank Gore. I've been watching him since he's been at the U and he has only gotten faster and tougher. I'll put him down as my number 3 RB. Got to go with AP at number 1, and MJD at number 2. If the Niners can find a QB and sign Crabtree you might see Gore climb one spot.

Question #2: Aren’t the Steelers known for their smash mouth running game? Willie Parker 27 attempts and 66 yards? Should I look for someone else? – Murphy, Stanford University

Murphy: It doesn't look good for Fast Willie. Right before the season started, Mike Tomlin told reporters that Parker would get close to 30 carries a game. Two weeks later he is lauding R. Mendenhall for his good work. Parker looks a step slow this year. My sources tell me there might be an injury that we're not hearing about. Keep a close eye on it, but you may need to figure out other options.

Question #3: Trying not to go off of just one game…. is Dallas Clark your number one rated fantasy tight end? – Gene, Buffalo, NY

Gene: Dr. Roto thinks that Clark is the number 1 TE. Witten is great (as is Tony G. and Antonio Gates) but Dr. Roto loves the Peyton Manning-Dallas Clark hookup.

Question #4: Who actually gets more fantasy points over the course of the year, someone like Chris Johnson who breaks long runs and runs for lots of cumulative yards or someone like LenDale White who often gets put into the game when the Titans get on the goal line? – Christopher, Round Rock, TX

Christopher: Let's assume that your league gives 6 points per TD and 1 point for every 10 yards rushing/receiving. White will get you about 1000 total yards with 9 TD (a total of 154). Johnson should get you close to 1600 yards with 8 TD (a total of 208). Plus Johnson can break a few big ones which could be extra points in your league. A PPR league would only add to Johnson's value.

Question #5: How many QB’s do you rank ahead of Kurt Warner? – Shawn, Antioch, CA

Shawn: One of the few things Dr. Roto likes about Warner this year is his receiving corps. They are arguably the best in the NFL. I'll put Warner in my top ten because of their skill and the fact that Ken Wisenhunt is a terrific coach. IF Warner were my QB, I would make sure I had Matt Leinart as my backup along with another solid QB on my roster.
