All three are solid this week, but I like Cruz

Agreed

Here's a real Gem for you guys. Bye week is taking away Arian and Tate.

I need two starters for RB, PPR.

RB 1: Thinking Tolbert, he's been my RB 2 most weeks.

RB 2: Cedric Benson Against the Ravens or Lance Ball tonight Vs. the Jets. Leaning towards Ball

Thoughts?

I agree with Cruz over Bennett

I probably go benson over Ball. Mcgahee could end up playing the whole game, could pull up lame after 5mins. Jets could get a big lead early, limiting the run, and their defence has to show up eventually right? I think ball is high risk low reward, as he wont be getting many TD opportunities. You really dont have anyone better? I thought my team sucked

My turn, and I really have no idea here. Half PPR league, need to choose three of CJ1k, Jacobs, McGahee (assuming he is listed as the starter), Helu, and Ogbonnaya. I think Johnson and Jacobs are must starts (at least for me), so it comes down to the third player. I feel like Mcgahee has similar problems to those I listed for ball, plus the injury risk, but I think he is the best of the three players. Do I play it safe, bench Mcgahee and pick Helu if he starts, worst case scenario I have Ogbo to step in?

Also, Jermichael or Fred Davis? Ive gone Finley the last couple weeks, it seems his downside isnt much worse and he has a much higher upside

I agree with everything you said above for the other poster......Cruz and Benson. I say CJ and Jacobs for sure (bradshaw still out) and then take a chance on Helu over Mcgahee for you. We still don't know that Mcgahee will play I say Finley just for the fact that he is in a better offense with a better QB.

FOR ME.....NON PPR

-Stafford vs car or Palmer @ Min? I'm leaning towards Stafford

-pick 2: gore, hunter vs ariz, tolber @ chi, battle @ ne. And yes, I've thought about playing both Gore and Hunter

-pick 1 as a flex: daniel thomas vs buf, d nelson @ mia, mcgahee vs nyj Right now I have Thomas in

-Lastly, Romo @ was or Newton @ Det Right now I have Cam in.

Thanks!

vc4prez - Cruz. At least 6 targets in 5 of his last 6 games. Bennett is fine, but take the surer thing.

MetroDrugUnit - Benson over Ball. McGahee is back and sounds like he's healthy.

onlykiwirapsfan - McGahee is active. Think you have to roll with him, CJ1K and Jacobs. As for Davis vs. Finley, I'd actually say there's less downside to Davis. There's no one else to catch the ball and Dallas is 30t against TEs.

Shady Franchise - Stafford by a hair. If you get any word that his injury may hamper him, go with Palmer. I'd likely go with the lead back from SF on Sunday (whoever it is) and Tolbert (SD could be down, and with Chicago's pass rush it could be check down city). If you bench Tolbert, then the other SF back is next -- they should run all day. Definitely going McGahee at flex. I'd also go Cam over Romo this week -- Carolina will be down and throwing.

Chris Johnson @ ATL or Nicks vs. PHI

Rolling with Jacobs/Murray at RB. Use McGahee over Denarius Moore as my flex?(rolling with Dez and Robinson as my other two WR's. Yep, going with the Cowboys trio of doom again)

I knew it was a mistake to use McGahee. Ouch.

benson jarvis-ellis or battle for last rb spot?

I havent followed enough of the Patriots RB carousel recently to be fully informed, but if Law firm is still number 1, and will get goal line carries, I go with him.

I think Battle will see much fewer snaps as they will be trailing and McCluster will get them on passing downs. Benson is an OK option but with pretty limited upside against Baltimore. So i rank them Law Firm>Benson>>>>Battle.

Another question: Assuming Julio is out, which means I have to pick some scrub up off Waivers as my 3rd WR, do we go Douglas (who I currently have), McCluster, Titus Young, or Damian Williams? Its kinda a who gives a **** question, but worth a shot.

I would go Battle, NE doesnt give consistent carries to anyone, the lawfirm has like 2 points last week

I would probably go Williams, though Douglas could have another big week with Finnegan covering White.


I've been going back and forth on my lineup (ppr) all week, and this is a must win. It's a roll of the dice trying to find the touchdowns!

1) Celek or Winslow

2) Who the hell scores for TB? Currently have both Winslow and Mike Williams, but I have been eyeing Parker and Lumpkin on waivers.

3) 1 WR and 1 Flex: Nate Washington, Mike Williams, Harry Douglass, Kregg Lumpkin, Jerome Simpson, Preston Parker, Donald Jones

1) Celek

2) Parker could be solid. He's hit or miss. Williams has been a disappointment, but I would stick with him over those options.

3) Give me Douglas all day. After that I'd stick with Mike Williams this week.

So I'm starting Cruz.

I have the following and need one in PPR alongside Cruz:
Bennett vs. San Diego
Damian Williams @ ATL
Mannigham vs. PHI

I know they're all solid options.

Don't like relying that heavy on a Giants against what could be a blowout and thus run heavy if the receivers don't get their's early.

Leaning towards Bennett, but is this idiot going to test the hands of fate and wear the orange cleats again? The NFL has said they'll probably eject him if he does.

Battle's the safer play I guess?

Pick up DJ Ware if he's available and roll with him IMO.

1) Stafford, but Palmer is a good play as well.

2) Wowsers. Hunter and Tolbert I would say.

3) Daniel Thomas

4) I'd go Cam. He'll throw a few interceptions, but he'll throw a lot and a couple TD's, maybe run one too. Dallas will run, run and run some more after Romo throws a couple and gets less then 200 yards.

Chris Johnson easy.
