I could really use some advice here (ignore the trade question, since it's too late for this week now). Reposting:

--- WR+Flex help ---
Need to choose 2 WR, 1 fle (already starting Michael Turner and Jahvid Best). Here are my options (Welker's bye week and Steve Smith South's injury couldn't have come in a worse week)

RB - Fred Jackson (v. JAX) or Shonn Greene (v. MIN)
WR - Jeremy Maclin (@SF), M. Williams (@CIN), Bowe (@IND)

Leaning Jackson, Maclin, Bowe

-- TE choice
Witten (v. TEN) or Z. Miller (v. SD)

Leaning Miller.

--- Related Pickup question ---
Currently have the Atlanta DST, on the road in Cleveland with Delhomme coming back. Should be a decent matchup, but should I be considering the Lions, Rams, Cowboys, Panthers (no Cutler?), or Texans? Any others out there who you guys see as sleepers?[/quote]

--- Different League, Different Problems ---
1) I traded Romo and Maclin for Randy Moss (already had Rivers, and Romo got autodrafted for me... nice save, eh?) . The question is now who to sit this week -- Jennings, Megatron, Moss or Steve Smith North (I also have Welker on a bye, so it's soon time to make a trade... :)). I can make a case for sitting any of them except Johnson. Jennings isn't getting yardage this year, Moss will be covered by Revis and doesn't know the offense yet (though, when has that ever mattered), and Smith is down on the pecking order now (but man, that Houston pass D is weak, weak, weak).

2) My RBs are weak. Gore is a must start. Am I started Ivory or McCoy as the other one? McCoy is hurt, but might play. I have a hunch that Ivory outplays Betts against Zona's awful run D.

3) Long term -- better TE option: Hernandez or Zach Miller? Have both in this league, and I can get Hernandez in the other league listed above.

Pretty much agree with your choices. I say sit Mccoy, even if he does play it wont be a big day. I have him too and I am sitting him. I think Hernandez is going to be the better TE option, brady likes him alot and with moss gone he will get more balls.

Pick 3 no PPR

Best vs. STL, Jones @ IND, Clayton @ DET, Bradshaw @ HOU, Moss @ NYJ, Mccoy @ SF

I'd say Best, Clayton, Moss. Bradshaw is the other one I'd be considering, but I expect Hou-NYG to be a passing extravaganza and Bradshaw hasn't practiced much this week. He's going to play, but I wouldn't be surprised if they limit his minutes.

with Peyton Hillis' thigh issue should I start Jamaal Charles over him? If not, should I start Charles over Jahvid Best?

I would play Best, Charles is splitting carries while Best is the primary back going against a weak run D

I need 2 of these 3, it's a PPR league...

Chris Cooley vs. GB
Jermaine Grisham vs. TB
Brandon Pettigrew vs. STL

It's a short lived anomaly IMO.

He'll have some productive weeks, but overall hes not a guy you really want starting, even in a flex spot.

well, Rice finally came through for me, luckily I started him as my options were charles/best/rice, was leaning towards charles but I had a feeling Indy D would show up and they did a little, Charles still had decent day no TD but better #'s then Jones. Hopefully this is the final week where Jones starts, at least I hope it is :lol:, guy looked pathetic against Indy.

Brandon Lloyd is like my favorite player right now. The dude has been money. Thankfully, Chris Johnson showed he can still play running back, the ravens actually used Ray Rice, and Hakeem Nicks is amazing.
