Brown, especially if Ward is out. NE can't stop anybody from putting up nice yardage totals. I think Jenkins is a nice sleeper going forward, but Brown has too good a matchup.

DeMarco Murray
Julio Jones
James Starks
Jonathan Stewart

Murray, until he proves otherwise. It'll probably be a RBBC when Felix is 100%, at which point you likely play the matchups w/Julio in the lead.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. With Stafford's ankle injury I would lean towards Ben. NE really is just awful on D.

[bantx]

I have big ben on waiver request dropping Matt Ryan. My RBs > all

[RaiderNation]

Not sure what I should do at RB this week. I can go:

DeMarco Murrey @ PHI
Steven Jackson vs NO
Beanie Wells @ BAL

Certainly not Beanie.

If you need a homerun hitter go with Murrey.
If you want to ensure you get a dozen go with Jackson.

[bantx]

DeMarco, I just trust anyone from St Louis right now
and Beanie is inconsistent.

[fenikz]

Beanie Wells isn't playing, but he is extremely consistent when he is

def Murray

pick 1
Eric Decker vs Det
Greg Little @ SF
Emmanuel Sanders vs NE

[Rob S]

Trade Advice needed ASAP, 2 offers on the table.

#1: I give Tony Romo and James Starks for Marques Colston and Joseph Addai

#2: I give Tony Romo and Mike Williams for Dwayne Bowe

My Roster:

QB(1): Cameron Newton, Tony Romo
RB(2): AD, Forte, Starks, Pierre Thomas, Roy Helu, Delone Carter
WR(3): Roddy, Mike Williams, Jordyz, David Nelson, Braylon, Michael Jenkins
TE(1): Gronk
FLEX(1): pick 1 WR/RB/TE

Which trade (if either) do I accept and why? Even though the value isn't great, Im leaning towards taking one of them b/c having Romo and Cam is useless at this point and I could really use a boost at WR.

[fenikz]

have you tried just romo for colston?

Yup, he countered with that.

Little. He's the true #1 target for his QB and nobody runs vs. San Fran.

Get Colston. He's got a tremendous run of mediocre to bad pass Ds remaining on his schedule. You'll never miss Starks and Addai is a servicable replacement for him even if you feel you would.

With Bradford and Stafford being questionable this week....Do I drop Greg Olsen for a Quarterback just in case? Aaron Hernandez is my starter.

Kevin Kolb vs Baltimore
Shaun Hill vs Denver
Curtis Painter vs Tennessee
Matt Moore vs Giants
Christian Ponder vs Carolina

Those are really my only options.

[JeffSamardzijaIRISH]

Which QB should I pick up for this week? Matt Hasselbeck, Joe Flacco, Alex Smith, Andy Dalton, Kolb, or Cassel? I'm thinking Flacco, but after his god awful performance last week, I'm not too sure.

[Hines]

Who should be my fill in WR for this week?

Sid Rice vs Cincy
Mike Thomas vs Houston
Eric Decker vs Detroit
Demaryius Thomas vs Detroit

Wait until Sunday, then at least you'll have a chance to get Olsen back through the waiver process mid-week. I doubt any of those guys are going anywhere.

Hill is probably the safe bet. He's done well and Denver is a nice matchup. Plus it covers you up to kick off playing either Lions QB. However, of that group, I really like Ponder best. Minne D gives up points so we should see Ponder throwing enough to get good numbers. Play action works great when you have AP vs. a terrible run D.

Dalton has been a solid, reliable producer. That's really what you want in bye week / injury situations.

Thomas. Not that I like any of them, but Thomas.

Ive been killing it... I am 7-0

My average starting lineup is:
- QB: Aaron Rodgers
- RB: Fred Jackson
- RB: Matt Forte
- WR: Wes Welker
- WR: Mike Wallace
- TE: Either: Jermichael Finley
or Aaron Hernandez
- K: Dan Bailey
- DST: Cowboys
---------------------------------
- Reserve: Andy Dalton - Bye week replacement, Cut for a WR next week.
- Reserve: Pierre Thomas
- Reserve: Beanie Wells
- Reserve: Brandon Jacobs
- Reserve: Brandon Marshall
----------------------------------

This week is tough for me with Rodgers, Forte and Finley out. Hoping to go 8-0

Just an FYI

I plan to leave Torain on my bench in favor of Jackie the BattleAx this week.

Anybody starting Torain (I did the last two weeks for a total of 2.2 points) can thank me when he goes off for 120 & 3 TDs. ;)

Thanks for the conservative estimate, but let me remind you that Kellen Heard is our nose tackle.

[ImBrotherCain]

Thats what happened to me with Britt last year.

Start him one week get 3 points bench in the next throws up 40 played him the following week got like 5.

I am glad I refused to draft him this year.

[bantx]

Well he was killing it this year until he was injured which i suffered from :c

lol

Honestly, the Redskins offense is heading in the wrong direction and keeps losing key players at every level of the offense. Torain was a "great matchup start" 2 weeks ago vs. Philly and last week vs. Carolina. Once again this week he faces a "great matchup." Fool me once . . . ah ****, he already fooled me twice.

I drafted him. Had him on my bench week one. Had him on my bench week two. Week three he was clearly a "must start." So, of course, I did. A lovely negative 1.2 points as he had 18 yards and fumbled when his knee exploded.

[Jakey]

Rank these WR's for the rest of the season? 1PPR

Brandon Lloyd
Victor Cruz
David Nelson


Thanks guys :D

[scottyboy]

just got offered MJD and Santonio for Fred Jackson . thoughts?
