McFadden is playing a tough Chargers Run D so it would be wise to bench him especially since I think they will have to throw the ball more to try and catch up.

I like Thomas Jones and Leon Washington vs the Texans defense. Leon will get a lot of playing time because he is a great backfield reciever and sanchez will need that. I just think AHmad Bradshaw will have a tough time with the new Redskins run defense of Haynesworth and Orakpo.

Dwayne Bowe is the only offensive player to start from KC. That being said I never start any player against the Ravens D. It just isnt wise. If you can put someone else in I would do it but Bowe should get a lot of targets his way but he will most likely be double covered.

Knowshon should play on sunday but I still dont think he will be at 100% whereas I think the Ravens will put a beating on the Cheifs quick putting the running game into a big priority. Shoot, I would start Parmele too! We will most likely run it at them all game after a safe lead. Besides Willis is the goal line back.

Drop Patrick Crayton and go pick up a sleeper to have such as Mike Bell, James Davis, or Josh Morgan.

EDIT: Joking about Parmale, He will get some carries but dont pick him up.

Ryan Grant and Reggie Bush. The Saints are going up against the Lions and they did nothing to help improve the defensive line. Reggie Bush should rack up some good points and I wouldn't doubt that the media eats up the type of day Bush has and says how he is on a come back. I say Ryan Grant because Ray Rice will be the feature back on sunday so McGahee is a no, Hightower is starting over Wells and I expect Marion Barber to get the load of carries in Dallas. JMO.

Ok I need some help. I have Aaron Rodgers as my starting QB, Larry Fitzgerald, Vincent Jackson and Lance Moore has my starting recievers. Larry and Vincent are automatic starters. I put Lance Moore in only because well they are playing the Lions, but my other options are Donald Driver and Hakeem Nicks. Should I start Driver or Nicks over Moore? My running game is good, I picked up Ray Rice and have him starting along with Brandon Jacobs. I have Willis on my bench. My TE situation is pretty set when I have Dallas Clark and Todd Heap as the back up. Indy plays Jacksonville and we play KC, Heap and Clark seem poised to have a good day, but should I stick with Clark as my starter or bench him for Heap? I'm also in a bind with the kicking situation, Robbie Gould or Steve Hauschka? I know its odd to have two kickers but I liked both and I don't know who to cut. Gould is good and this is Hauschka's first go around.

I need a RB2 and a WR3. Who do you think on my bench can accumulate a lot of points.

.5 PPR 6PPTD

Starting Roster
QB:Aaron Rodgers
RB1:LaDainian Tomlinson
RB2:
WR1:Randy Moss
WR2:Justin Gage(already used)
WR3:
Flex:Leon Washington
K:John Carney
Def:Minnesota
D:Empty

Bench:
Kevin Smith
Anquan Boldin
Vincent Jackson
Darren McFadden
Derrick Mason
Ray Rice
Greg Olsen
Donald Brown
Chris Henry

[H8R]

Here's a tough one, Gates or Olsen? I'm thinking Gates because SD play the Raiders and that D is BAD, but Cutler has really liked throwing to Olsen in the Preseason. But Oak will have the SD WR's on lock...at least on Namdi's side, so I figure the TE' wil get a lot of route over the middle....... Decisions Decisions

[Reddawn36]

Bias aside

I have a few situations

1) was offered a trade for my desean jackson and todd heap for their ben roth. and kevin boss, I'm thinking about waiting after first 2 weeks before I make a decision, As for my other TE's, I have Gates.. and for QB I have Matt Ryan

2) Green Bay plays Cincy in week 2, SD plays us.... I have both of their D/ST (Green Bay had 64 points against the bears, and SD had 60 against the raiders [in the league im a part of anyway]) I'm thinking on starting Green Bay, because I'm not 100% sure what to expect from our offense in that game, if its like what we did against the chiefs......

3) Whom should I start at TE for week 2, Antonio Gates or Todd Heap, Heap got a lot of looks last week, and well Gates is playing one of the best D's in the league (in ours)


P.S. if you need a Defense or at least a back up check and see if SD and/or GB is available, they could quite possibly have decent seasons

[itscbm5042]

Now this one is tough.

Start Schaub against the Titans? or Flacco against the Chargers?

After last night's SD under-whelming performance I'm leaning heavily towards Flacco.

Here I'll just put up my whole roster and their opponents this week is tricky and I'm going against a tough opponent.

QB Flacco (Chargers)
WR Moss (Jets)
WR C Johnson (Minnesota)
WR Crayton (Giants)
RB MJD (Arizona)
RB Grant (Cincy)
TE Shockey (Philly)
D San Diego (aw crap, I gotta find a new one lol)
K Elam (Carolina)

BN Schaub (Titans)
BN Barber (Giants)
BN Smith (Minnesota)
BN Bryant (Buffalo)
BN Evans (Tampa Bay)
BN McGahee (Chargers)

Who to start? Who to start?

I'm kinda leaning towards Flacco too,but Shaub had trouble against the Jets defense so Flacco over Shaub.

I would keep it like that. Dump SD defense and pick up another defense. McGahee is tempting to start after seeing Darren and Michael play last night.

[JO_75]

I need some help with the running back situation. I can only start 2 RB, and my choices are Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Brandon Jacobs. According to Michael Fabiano(of nfl.com) he has Brandon Jacobs has a Start'em due to the poor dallas run defense, I listened. My other problem is who should I start between Rice and McGahee? I started Rice last week while benching McGahee and Willis got 20 points on my bench while Rice had 8. Any advice on that?

I also dropped Robbie Gould and went with Hauscka has my full time kicker and picked up Washington's defense with Redskins playing the Rams. The chargers have o-line issues that makes me think the ravens defense can have a great day. Baltimore defense going against SD or play Washington's defense going against The Rams?

I wouldnt have picked up Hauchka because in my league you lose points for missed FGs.

I would play Ravens D, actually I am playing ravens D.

Between Willis and Ray...tough one. I think Willis is a better back between the tackles so I would pick him but either way you are looking at 10 points each at least.

I'd go with Anquan Boldin. He's got his speed back, he's in a contract year. I expect him to start playing lights out.

Cinci is going against Green Bay - who looks to have a great defense. Plus Carson is still a bit off. I'd wait until Carson Palmer and the Bengals show some life before starting any of them against a good defense.

[Alexir]

what the heck, why does Fitz and Boldin have 6 points between the both of them against that Jags secondary?!

[FlaccoFlicker]

not sure bout ari receivers but chris johnson is racking up points for me today

Well I got this one wrong, but it was a close call. Hopefully you didn't lose by 5 FFP in a PPR league.

C. Ochocinco - 91 ReYd, ReTD (13), 4 Recpt - 19 FFP
A. Boldin - 4 RuYd, 69 ReYd, 8 Recpt - 14 FFP

did someone say Flacco over Schaub?

week 3, pick 2 RBs:

Pierre Thomas - BUF
Carnell Williams - NYG
Beanie Wells - IND

[/quote]

Ryan Grant for sure he's a #1 guy going against a bad defense.

As for the second. It's tough. Carnell will be going against a tough Giants D. But he should see some flat passes due to the blitzes the Giants use. But you have to remember Ward is going against his former team, so the Bucs would like to use him more. Bush is an enigma and Pierre is coming off an injury. Beanie Wells definitely leave on your bench. He has yet to show anything to merit a start.

All in-all I'm going with Bush in this one.

QB: Flacco or Schaub
RB: Stephen Jackson vs GB or Julius Jones vs CHI in a non PPR league

QB: I don't know, I mean we are playing clevelend this week, but divisional rivals can be tough, and apparently scaub is inconsistant... I'd say maybe go with Schaub, he can put up better fantasy points then flacco, but flacco is more consistant, so far (and the browns don't have a better D than SD imo)
RB: I would say Jackson

It'll be a close one. But Walter should be back and Schaub is ready to go. I'd go with Schaub. The Ravens should get the lead early, then protect it with the run game.

Stephen Jackson. Unless Julius is playing against Arizona. Bench him.

dropped beanie, picked up tashard choice.. play him over pierre thomas with marion barber out?.. looks like mike bell is going to be out for the saints though, too.. i just cant trust bush cause you never know what you'll get out of him production wise, and who knows if thomas will be at 100%

It's a smart move for the current game IF Barber isn't playing - last I heard its 50-50. But he's just a band-aid player. UPDATE: Barber did practice yesterday although limited. But he says he's feeling fine.

It's still too early to give up on Beanie. Hopefully you aren't kicking yourself come playoff time and Beanie's putting up big stats.

[ZIBBY28]

ended up playing Pierre Thomas and picked up Tashard Choice last week.. both had great games.. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

haha.. anyway.. pick 2 RBs from:

Marshawn Lynch (@MIA)
Tashard Choice (@DEN)
Pierre Thomas (NYJ)
Reggie Bush (NYJ)
Ryan Grant (@MIN)
Cadilac Williams (@WASH)

notable FA's are Jamal Lewis/Jerome Harrison/James Davis (CLE), Michael Bush (OAK), Correll Buckhalter (DEN), Beanie Wells (ARI), La'Ron (our one and only freight train) McClain

If MBIII cant play, Choice is a must start because felix jones is already declared out, but i think Barber will end up playing so it leaves me in a pickle.. Thomas had a great week, but he's going up against the Jets, so idk if there'll be any running room.. same goes for bush, but he's more explosive and might be a PPR king this week if Brees constantly has pressure and has to dump it off.. Grant has another tough matchup, but could get in the end-zone and you never know what you'll get out of Cadilac.. i think they'll rely more on the run though this week b/c they made a QB change, but they're just awful.. and finally, Mr. Unpredictable, the ugliest man in the NFL, the one and only, Marshawn Lynch.. good match-up, but how many touches he'll get is yet to be seen..

so what do you guys think?... go with the studs with tough match ups or spot start other RBs.. a lot of it depends on whether or not Barber is healthy IMO, but again.. what do you guys think? pick 2.
