Start Matt Ryan

[Bleeding Blue]

I would start Winslow

[CrookedJ]

I would start Winslow

I disagree... I think Carlson is a better play this week.

One of these backs is gonna be my flex in my 20 team league. All are already rostered - and trust me, no one better is out there.

Justin Fargas ( vs Philly)
Bernard Scott ( vs Hous)
Mike Bell (vs NYG)

Fargas is the highest in his depth chart...but what are the odds Oakland is in this game for the last 3 quarters?

I'd say Bush is the highest on the depth chart in OAK, and even if they are 1a and 1b you have to remember that it's OAK. I'd go with Mike Bell - higher ceiling.

Start 3 of my WR's:

Braylon Edwards vs. BUF
Antonio Bryant vs. CAR
Wes Welker vs. TEN
Mario Manningham vs. NO
Johnny Knox vs. ATL

Thanks.
I meant highest of the 3 on my team, not on his own real team, and yes PUKE to anyone from Oakland. I was up against Jfatass Russell last week...he got negative 4 points! I like the Bell suggestion, NY is actually giving up a generous 4.8 yards per carry, and they are sure to focus on stopping the pass.

Braylon, Welker and Manningham are my gut choices, but you have some real equality there. I get return yards in both my leagues, in which case Knox becomes the best of these 5.

[ChronicKerr]

Pick 1 WR in a 1 Pointer Per Reception League:

Keenan Burton @ Jacksonville
Dennis Northcutt @ GB
David Clowney vs BUF

[Maritimer]

If Megatron is out, go with Northcutt. Otherwise, I might go Burton, since EVERYONE throws on the Jags.

[UrbanLegendMD]

Bradshaw vs NO or Slaton vs Cincy?
Flacco vs Minny or McNabb vs Oak?
Colston vs Giants or Mike Simms Walker vs St. Louis?

[darobster17]

Gotta start McNabb or anyone when playing AL Davis Raiders. Flacco and Ravens are struggling as offensive team and just signed Tyree, former NYGiants wideout...

Sims-Walker should have a bounce back since he couldnt play on some technicality.

I dunno about the Bradshaw or Slaton...that's a tough one since I also have Bradshaw and benched him when he ran buck wild on the Raiders...If Slaton is projected to put up better #'s than Bradshaw,I would start Slaton.

Would you start Marshawn Lynch against the Jets. Or would you start Hightower against a division rival Seattle Seahawks. I'm starting Bradshaw against N.O. since Eli's not 100% healthy.

I'm going to cut Lee Evans and want to pick up either Austin Miles, Hakeem Nicks or Austin Collie(Indy WR)???? Who would you pick up? Mike Wallace from Pittsburgh is another player on my radar...

[ElectricMayhem]

I would pick up Miles. Obviously, he's not going to be having any more 250 yard games, but he showed talent in that game and I think he'll have staying power, even when Williams comes back.

Also, Hightower over Lynch. I think the Jets will get out ahead of Buffalo early, and they'll need to try to pass their way back.


My Running Back Situation:

LaDanian Tomlinson vs. Den
Rashard Mendenhall vs. Cle
Ryan Grant vs. Det

Which 2 do I play?

It pains me to tell you to sit LT, but I think thats the play... he hasnt' been on and is up against a stingy defense. Mendenhall and Grant might both be doing extensive mop up duty in very tastey matchups. Grant for sure.

I think even if Parker is back they go to Mendenhall to close out the game.

[Friend_Of_Haley]

Tight Ends:
Greg Olsen @ Atl
Chris Cooley @ Car

Wide Receivers:
Larry Fitz @ Sea
Brandon Marshall @ SD
Michael Sims-Walker StL
Greg Jennings Det

I need to pick 2 WR, and another probably for my flex spot. Any 4 of them has a decent chance of putting up a good week, so the approach I'm taking on who to sit is who is most likely to have a bad week. Part of me thinks Jennings. He hasn't gotten a lot of targets early on and if GB gets up early they'll just be running it. Its such a strong match up though verse Detroit at home. I could see Marshall having a quieter game with Denver likely to run all over SD, but how do you sit a guy whose been as hot as him? The you have Sims-Walker on a bad team, but going against an even worse team, and he has been tageted more than anyone else. Then Larry Fitzgerald is just a stud, and its never really smart to bench him. Plus, should be a close game, so Arizona should be throwing it.

I'm thinking: Fitz, Walker, Marshall. Agreed?

[snapcracklepape]

Pick my QB

Schaub at Cincy
Hasselback vs Arizona

Pick two Receivers: (I have Andre Johnson locked in, and Reggie Wayne on a bye)

Bernard Berrian vs Baltimore
Antonio Bryant vs Carolina

or would I be better off taking one of those receivers and picking up a waiver receiver like Donnie Avery.


Pick one Running back: ( I have a newly aquired Michael Turner)

Pierre Thomas vs New York
Steven Jackson at Jacksonville
Ray Rice at Minnesota
Darren Sproles vs Denver

[Maritimer]

RB choices:
Turner v. CHI
LT v. DEN
Bradshaw @ NO
Cadillac v. CAR

WR choices:
S. Smith (CAR) @ TB
Bowe @ WAS
H. Ward v. CLE
D. Avery @ JAC

Some sweet matchups there, but I've got to choose 2 from each, plus a flex. Leaning Turner, Bradshaw, Smith, Bowe, Ward, since LT needs to prove he's back, Cadillac looked shaky last week and could lose touches to Ward, and Avery loses out to 3 other WRs with great matchups. Any other opinions?

[CJ_18]

RB choices:
Turner v. CHI
LT v. DEN
Bradshaw @ NO
Cadillac v. CAR

WR choices:
S. Smith (CAR) @ TB
Bowe @ WAS
H. Ward v. CLE
D. Avery @ JAC

I would make Cadillac your flex instead of Hines.

Phillip Rivers vs DEN
or Matt Shaub @ CIN

Pick 2
Greg Jennings vs DET
Dwayne Bowe @ WAS
Mike Sims-Walker vs STL

[ElectricMayhem]

I'd go with Jennings and Sims-Walker. Detroit's secondary has just been awful this season and St. Louis has given up at least 4 touchdowns in every game but one. Washington's D has been decidedly average. Sure, they've only played lousy teams so far, but they're playing another this week.

Would you guys do this?

Trade:
Outgoing: Jason Witten
Incoming: Someone's trash.

Why? Witten is on the No-Cut list, and I have Carlson who has put up similar numbers. I need flexibility and there are a couple decent RBs available (Ray Rice, Pierre Thomas)

Thats a tough call, but I could see Witten still putting up good numbers this year.....Do you need a RB or just want to pick up someone?

Pick 1 PPR

Winslow @ Car
Heath Miller @ Clev

Also, both of them are on bye the same week and I was offered Witten for either, would you do it? I would be in a tough spot come their bye week if I don't do something....

[Maritimer]

I trade Miller for Witten and start Winslow. Winslow is THE target in TB and Carolina is 18th in terms of points allowed to TEs. Miller won't keep up this play. Something to know: Pittsburgh's opponents so far are 31st (Titans), 19th (Bears), 13th (Bengals), 24th (Chargers), and 30th (Lions) in terms of points allowed to TEs. Cleveland, believe it or not, are 8th.

[Shady Franchise]

heres a tough one:

B Celek @ Oak or Shockey vs NYG?

Celek vs raiders self explanitory or shockey vs old team which allows most TE TDs.

who to pencil in?
