I like GB of the two, but they are risky. They could put up 20 since NO is struggling or 0 bc NO could go off.
Ridley/Williams is tough, but I am leaning Williams bc he is less risky...you know he will be getting almost all the carries, but the MIA D is good.
Rivers @ KC or Romo vs. CHI?

Rivers, but you really need better options lol. Romo sucked against TB, I dont see him doing that much better against Chi.

Haha, I agree. I have a stable of RB's (Run DMC, Rice, Matthews, Tate, and now valuable R. Williams) I need to upgrade my QB/WR.

Re: Week 4 Starters Advice
Ridley's tough. He's one of the best running backs for the patriots in a long time in my book. A legit number one back, instead of this running back by commitee stuff thats been going on since Dillon retired. But at any moment, McDaniels and BB could ride the matchup and give him zero carries and a guy like woodhead the whole game. Who knows

I fear that too, hoping Balt matchup was the reason for the rbbc.....I like Williams alot more but Mia been destroying opposing RB minus weak 1 against Hou, they pretty much locked down Mcfadden and he's a much better back. So I guess I go Ridley as most have picked.

Just a warning I am GB fan, so I am bit biased, but an angry GB defense against hurting NO offense could be nice call this week. Over the past two weeks GB has only given up 24 points, and if scrap that late game TD by Sea then they are at 17 points, and they have 12 sacks, 6 INTS and 2 special team TD's so far through 3 games. But I will say NO is a tough match up as they are putting up points.
I like TB D, last weekend they looked pretty good in a super ugly game, but if you get the TB D that gave up 41 points to the Giants you are in trouble and they are going up against a Skins team that has put up 40 v. NO, 28 v. Stl and 31 v. Cin, albeit not the best D's but they are scoring in volume.
I would vote GB but again I am biased.
Before last game, Willaims was running at a brutal 1.2 YPC, and after week 3 is still only at 3.4 YPC, if you are in a ppr league the 5 catches last week are a beautiful site, and with their TE hurting that could stay up at that level. I like the Miami run D this week as well but for no real reason then a good feeling.
Ridley on the other side is running at 4.5 YPC and has five catches this year which is decent, if you take away last weeks game against the BAL D he is going at about 5 YPC and with TE Hernandez out this week he may have a chance to catch more balls. They are playing a Buf D that has looked decent the last two weeks however.
I would vote for Ridley, if no other reason then I really like the PATs v. Buf over the ARI v. MIA matchup.
Just my two cents, good luck!

I vote Ridley too. Like above, it's just a feeling, but I like the NE/BUF game to be a higher scoring game than ARI/MIA.

Re: Week 4 Starters Advice
I'll give my replies later when I have a bit more time, but I'll throw mine out there in the meantime:
Need 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 flex:
RB: Murray, Sproles, Leshoure, Benson, R. Williams
WR: Cruz, Maclin, Decker
Probably going 3 RBs and 2 WRs. Murray's got a tough matchup (Bears), Sproles is solid but unlikely to have a huge game against GB, Benson has a great matchup but who knows if they keep trying to establish the run, and we've only seen Leshoure and Williams do it once a piece. I like Cruz and Maclin over Decker, I think, but I am a bit worried about Maclin's knee.

Benson/Leshoure
Cruz/Maclin
Flex Sproles if PPR if not I'd take a chance on R. Williams

Thanks.
You think even if Bradshaw plays, Brown can get at least half the touches? If Fred plays, won't he be in a time share with Choice and possibly Spiller too (if he plays)? Worst case scenario for both players, would you still take FJax over Brown for this week? I need one of them as my RB2 with Lynch my #1.
Also, you'd take Torrey over Decker in a standard league, even though the Broncs are playing the horrid Raider CBs? I know the Browns are 3rd worst against WRs, but won't Baltimore just run all day if they get a big lead? Just some things I'm thinking about. Thanks for the input.

Re: Week 4 Starters Advice
I think Fred timeshare will be alot less then Bradshaw/Brown, I think Fred is much better then Choice, while Brown is showing he is just as good as Bradshaw. From what I'm hearing Bradshaw/Fred have similar chance of playing both will start if they play so its your call. Also while I think Brown is good, Car made him look that much better, after all they also gave up 100+yrd to P. Thomas of the Saints, a team that hardly likes to run.

I choose Smith for TD possibilities, I think D. Thomas is the redzone guy for Payton but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either, its your call thought choice

Thanks. Appreciate the advice and just wanted further input. I like your thinking with T Smith and will roll with him. FJax and Brown I'll have to wait until Sunday I think, to make my decision.
