Forte
MJD
Gore
McGahee

The top three guys there are obvious, but McGahee has been a beast the first two weeks and they have him projected at 23 points for this week right now. Gore doesn't have a great matchup, but I don't think I can sit him, even with Willis projected 8 points higher than him. Not after the first two weeks.


I also need to decide between Dwayne Bowe and Johnny Knox for my 2nd WR slot.


Those are tough. I'd say Forte (especially after what Gore did to that defense), MJD (especially after what Chris Johnson did to the Texans), and McGahee (Browns won't stop him, Ravens will run a lot). And I'd also go with Bowe for my WR2.

Pick 2: Felix Jones, Brian Westbrook, Pierre Thomas

I've pretty much settled on Jones for sure, but am not sure what to make of the Westbrook and Thomas situations right now.


Even if Barber is healthy, I think you go Jones (though it sounds like Barber won't be ready). Westbrook will be limited even if he plays and Thomas is a non-factor.

Pick 1: Tedd Ginn, Steve Breaston, Mike Sims-Walker


Sims-Walker has the slight edge over Breaston IMO. Houston's secondary is terrible and Holt isn't doing much yet will still command attention.

For my 3rd WR I have Steve Smith(NYG) @TB, DeSean Jackson @KC(Vick likely to get too much time for my liking), or OchoCinco vs Pitt.
Who do you go and why?
I'm leaning towards Smith, but it's hard to bench Ochco.
It's PPR by the way.

Pick two.

Steven Jackson, Fred Jackson, Darren Sproles, Ray Rice, Larry Johnson, Pierre Thomas.


I'm assuming its only between the first four candidates.

Pick one

Bernard Berrian, Braylon Edwards, Johnny Knox

I think I have to go Steven and Fred Jackson.
Go with Braylon at WR, but I don't love it.

Forte, MJD, McGahee.
Bowe at WR, he'll get receptions and a TD, with medium to high yardage...

Brandon Jacobs. Tampa run D is atrocious.

So is St. Louis' and GB should run the score up early through the air and then run the ball all day.
Jacobs is splitting time with Bradshaw and the Giants will have more of a real game on their hands and TB's overall defense is terrible. I say this as a Jacobs owner who wanted Grant, but he got snagged super early in my draft.
Go Grant, but you can't go wrong either way truthfully.

Pierre Thomas vs. Derrick Ward. No PPR.

Both don't have great match ups but it looks like both are getting the start.

Does the LT injury change things up in regards to which Running Back I start?

I got Fred and Steven Jackson starting

With Sproles and Rice on the bench

Tough one, I'd say go with Turner if you just want a solid 80-100 yards and a TD. But Chris Johnson is much more explosive, and he could go for either 50 and 0 TDs or 150 and 2 TDs. So If youre feeling lucky go with Johnson. Thats probably what ill be doing.

Pick 2:
Forte @Sea, Felix Jones vsCar, Chris Johnson @NYJ

-I dont really want to bench forte and then he'll finally have his breakout game
-Felix Jones could run for miles or he could get nothing, with Barber injured he'll get more carries
-Johnson will probably be blanketed by the Jets D, but it would be hard to bench someone who just got like 300 yards of total offense last week
