Week 9: Sit or Start

[TheLowlySquire]

Update to my earlier question: Better flex play - Cruz (if Nicks is out), Tolbert (Mathews is out), or Murray? Pretty sure I have to roll with Green at RB2, but if you want to make a case for either RB above over him I'm willing to listen.

Tolbert.

I've got a hole at W/R with McFadden out. Should I go with Benson, Wayne, Gaffney, or Manningham? I'm leaning Benson, but Manningham might be a decent start.

Also, should I drop Gaffney for B Jacobs? I've got Bradshaw, so I'd say it would be good to get his backup. I'm surprised no one picked him up in my league to be honest.

Definitely either Manningham or Benson. Manningham should get a TON of cataches, especially if Nicks doesnt play. I would drop Gaffney for Jacobs w/o seeing your other wide receivers, I cant see a situation when you start him.

Yeah, I picked up Jacobs. Looks like Bradshaw's out as well, so I guess I'll be starting both Benson and Manningham.

I'd go with Manningham but per your last post doesn't seem like this is a problem anymore

It looks like I'm finally getting a little luck this week, I took Battle out of my lineup in favor of Michael Bush so my RB's this week are now McCoy, Tolbert (Ryan Matthews looks like he'll miss the game), Bush

Looks like I'm going with Vernon Davis over Fred Davis unless there's confirmation Fred Davis will play on Sunday and is healthy (not looking likely :/ )...

Still up in the air with my crappy W/R's though, I want to go with Julio Jones but am holding off on inserting him into the lineup until it's 100% certain he will play (currently have Decker in as my 2nd W/R alongside Miles Austin).

I was wondering though what's a good kicker for this week? I have Billy Cundiff (Steelers) and was just going to roll with him but Rian Lindell (Jets) is also available...

Pittsburgh is a tough place to hit long field goals. I try to avoid kickers playing there. Neither Buffalo nor the Jets have the vaunted defenses that some people are saying (Jets based on rep, Buffalo based on last week). If the weather is good in Buffalo, I might go with Lindell. Kickers are such a crap shoot though...

I'd definitely roll with Julio Jones over Decker if I were you. Oakland has given up only 7 passing TDs to WRs all year, or 1 per game, and in 5 of 7 they've kept the opposing #1 WR out of the endzone (4 if you call Walter the #1 over Jones in the absence of Andre Johnson). On top of the Tebow factor, I think you'll see a handful of catches for 60 or 70 yards and not much more. Jones sounds like he's fully healthy and should benefit from Indy selling out to try to stop the run (which they won't be able to do, but still).

I also picked up Cundiff as my kicker this week with Hanson on a bye, but I am considering dropping him for someone else out of Gostkowski, Folk, or Lindell. Not sure yet who I will go with.

If he's just your bye-week kicker I think I would go with Lindell, I guess the reason why I have yet to do the same is that I like Cundiff as a long-term kicker better than Lindell, then again many teams can get by with dumping a kicker every week so maybe I'm making something out of nothing...

Don't get me wrong I still might make the switch myself, I'm just not sure at this very moment...

<--- Happy I stuck with Cundiff. Even with KC's garbage defensive showing I should win this week. I'm looking at around a 13-15 pt lead going into Monday with the other guy only having Vick but me having McCoy...
