Eric Decker vs NO

This is tough...

You're half right. The best run D against that list is the Lions. Bench Beastmode. (though I'm never a fan of playing a WR when you can play a RB, so benching a WR instead would be fine, too.)

I have Cam and Dalton so Dalton's bye is making my choice easy. I hate sitting Cam after a bad day b/c he's such a solid competitor. Still, Chicago's D should be able to eat him alive. Palmer is the safer play.

4-3
Q-Tom Brady
R-Matt Forte
R-Alfred Morris
R/W-Darren Sproles
W-Hakeem Nicks
W-Eric Decker
T-Owen Daniels
D-TB (Gonna drop in waivers for MIA or DEN) Just got burned by NO this week
K-Stephen Gostkowski
B-Steve Johnson
B-Ben Roethlisberger
B-Domenik Hixon (Nicks healthy should I drop?)
B-William Powell (Dropping in waivers, LSH already gone)
B-Santana Moss
B-David Wilson, NYG RB (Dropping in waivers)

The obvious FA target is Rashard Jennings. Powell/Moss/Wilson are droppable for the right players.

Any left over RB

I'm leaning towards Morris, DMAC, Moore. 1 point PPR.

Yes, that's a good lean.

Same. Take Mathews if you can. The Chargers look like they'll need to score constantly at this point and he's not splitting carries.

eta: yeah i'd do that in a heartbeat.

Charles is great, at least he has been. No idea what to think of the Chiefs going forward that's why I want to dump Bowe before his production sinks with Quinn.

I like CJ and F-Jax.... but I have no idea who to start... every week its freaking roulette... if can swap them for one player who's more productive I'd do it.

And Steven Jackson sucks.

I wouldn't do this one, especially if you're starting 3 WR. It's tough to trust Torrey, Floyd or Gordon and Mathews looks more like a WDIS headache than a major upgrade to your lineup. If you must trade, try to package a 2 for 1 and land a true stud in return.

Holy punt, Batman. Go with your gut . . . which shouldn't trust any of them.

I can easily do F-Jax/Spiller as the flex instead though.

Chargers D vs. CLE

or

Minnesota D vs. TB

So it's not 3WR. Gotcha. Still, I think you have the depth to try a 2 for 1. Mathews is not a clear cut upgrade for you. I completely understand the concern having both Bowe and Charles. But dumping Bowe for another less-than-stellar RB isn't solving anything.

Spiller is a better start than most of the RBs in the league. The only guys better are the true#1 RBs at the top of the food chain. I'd play Spiller over Mathews every time, barring really bad matchups. The Bills D is so bad that the offense has to keep the pedal down at all times.

Minnesota DST. Percy motha****ing Harvin.

Mufasa · 10-23-2012, 03:51 PM

CJ Spiller and Torrey Smith for AJ Green?

I have Foster, Peterson, and Richardson too, so I can afford to lose a RB.

Most likely.... YESSSSS!!! But who are your other WR? Could you package one of them with Spiller for a 4th RB for depth?

A good suggestion, for sure. Accept the trade either way, though. Green is unbelievable.

Mufasa · 10-23-2012, 06:06 PM

He didn't go for it. He wants Decker instead of Smith, which I'm still going to do.

Pick 4, .5 PPR

A Morris @ Pit
A Bradshaw @ Dal
W McGahee vs NO
S Greene vs Mia
L Moore @ Den

Greene has the worst matchup (and is probably the worst receiver) of the bunch

Bert Macklin · 10-23-2012, 08:56 PM

Fleener vs Tenn

or

Dressen vs Saints

fenikz · 10-23-2012, 08:57 PM

Also would you use a #4 waiver on any of these defenses or stand pat and just pick one of the leftovers(Texans bye)

sbh15 · 10-23-2012, 08:58 PM

stand pat, see if any of NYJ, MIA, or ATL/SEA (doubtful) are still there. if not maybe go with KC against OAK... not a terrible bet

Greene is a terrible player. Even his big games require 30+ touches to reach numbers most guys hit with 18. He's a scrub that can only be played when he's got a cake opponent, and even then I wouldn't trust him.

I would use the waiver on Seattle. Detroit is a stellar matchup for DSTs. I suppose it depends on your team and what the rest of the league has going on for DST bye weeks and how they use the waiver claims for DSTs, in general.

Bert Macklin · 10-23-2012, 09:22 PM

Seattle if they're there.

I'd go with Dreessen... he's got the hot hand of the two right now and even though Fleener has an exceptional matchup, Chandler proved last week there's still bust potential if your guy doesn't get the targets he needs. plus it's not like the Saints D is that much better against TE

SeanTaylorRIP · 10-23-2012, 09:54 PM

Not that you can go wrong but Brees or Peyton?

I think Peyton has to be the #1 quarterback in fantasy this week... he's had an extra week to dissect an already porous Saints pass defense and looks like the same Peyton we knew before. as for Brees... the Broncos' defense is a significantly worse matchup than New Orleans. even though Brees is matchup proof I have to say Peyton

SeanTaylorRIP · 10-23-2012, 10:18 PM

My only worry is Mcgahee thieving goal line carries where as the Saints are more incline on the goal line to pass including to sproles.

you'll probably see 20+ points from either... the one upside to Brees is that you can't kick yourself for starting him even if Manning outscores him. I have to wonder how many goal line plays a team even sees a game, though. Most of Manning's touchdowns probably are going to come from 10+ yards out anyway
