Who To Start And Sit?

[AwakenTheDemon]

Between the following players, which two should I start in my TE and W/R/T Flex positions:

Mike Thomas, Dez Bryant, Brent Celek, and Aaron Hernandez

[XxSizzleXx]

I'd go with Celek and Hernandez. I just wouldn't be able to play those other two over Celek and with the Ravens most likely doubling Welker the entire game on Sunday, Hernandez should see the ball and make a few plays.

For my QB spot in ATD's 16 person league

David Garrard vs TEN 27th ranked Pass D
or
Kevin Kolv vs ATL 19th ranked Pass D

[XxSizzleXx]

David Garrard vs TEN 27th ranked pass d
or
Kevin Kolb vs ATL 19th ranked pass d

I'd play Garrard i've been impressed with him and i'd bacd him to throw a TD or 2.

also i know its just talk but Vick said he doesn't want to miss the falcons game so Kolb might not even be the starter.

[Jamal]

Garrard will be playing a much tougher defense than his previous 2 weeks in Tennessee. Sure they gave up 400 yards passing, but that was the Cowboys, and they still came up with 3 INT's.

I have no clue about Cutler. He still has average WR's, and a terrible o-line. Who knows, he might suffer another concussion, and theres always the chance of the INT happy Cutler.

Brady looked bad against the Ravens last year with Moss, so I really have no clue what to expect.

I think I'll just end up going with Brady, since he is my highest QB pick.

PPR League.

Davone Bess (@ GB) or Danny Amendola (vs. SD)

Both have decent potential to get a lot of catches.

i like Amendola, with Clayton done for the year i think Bradford will look to amendola more and more, just look at what he did last week. i also think the rams will be playing from behind so throwing it around a lot more and i'm a fan of having teams number 1 WRs (which i believe Amendola is now) in that situation.

[benravens1]

Brees @Bucs or Flacco @Pats?

the pats have been giving up a lot through the air and the game could become a high scoring affair. but i'm just thinking surely brees has to get better soon?

I'd go with Brees. TB has better CBs than the Pats but their safeties has fallen off since Tanard Jackson got suspended. I can Brees making some big plays.

I'd go with Brees too. He'll get his bearings straight.

[Jamal]

After the multiple INT's game, Brees will be out to redeem himself.

I'd pick him over Flacco also.

[Vademor]

I would pick Brees over Flacco, because I think the Ravens will be using more running than passing against the Patriots.

Alright you fantasy wizards, help me out.

Jeremy Shockey @TB or Greg Olsen vs SEA

Pick 2 out of these 3 running backs to start: Forte vs SEA, MJD vs TEN or Mendenhall vs CLE.

Boldin @ NE or Eddie Royal vs NYJ (he may carve it up since Llyod might be busy with Cromartie)

Marcedes Lewis vs TEN or Chris Cooley vs IND

Greg Olsen. 5 Catches in each of the two prior games (w/ Cutler). Hopefully he keeps it rolling. More consistent than Shockey.

Mendenahll (Steelers get the lead, its Mendy time and with Roethlisberger back it will open up running lanes). MJD (just can't bench a 1st round draft pick like MJD). Plus Seattle is bad at stopping the pass. Seattle is 31st in stopping the pass as opposed to 2nd in stopping the run. Temper expectations for Forte.

Boldin against a very bad secondary of the Pats. NYJ will take away the slant route just like we did to Royal. They are watching our game film.

Redskins will look to run the ball on the Colts while the Jaguars have a good chance of playing from behind. I'd go with Lewis.

I'd start Shockey. The Saints are struggling right now but Shockey still has more potential to put together a big game than Olsen.

I'd go with Forte and MJD.

Start Q. Royal definitely could put together a good game but I think Q will have a bigger game going against NE's struggling secondary.

Marcedes is one fire so I'd roll with him.

[kagejb]

Tony Romo at Minnesota, Mark Sanchez at Denver or Aaron Rodgers vs. Miami
I'm not sure about Rodgers because of his injury. Day to day, right?

MJD vs. Tennessee, Steven Jackson vs. San Diego or Shonn Greene at Denver
Pick two please.

Vernon Davis vs. Oakland, Dustin Keller at Denver, Jason Witten at Minnesota.

I also need to cut one of these guys too since I need a defense.

Tony Romo. While Minnesota still has pass rushing abilities. They have absolutely nobody to cover all their receiving weapons. Frank Walker might even be out there.

Easy one. MJD and Steven Jackson. Greene isn't on their level.

Dustin Keller. #2 in TE fantasy points behind Gates. Look for Sanchez to continue looking his way in the Red Zone.

I would go with Bess for the fact that San Diego's defense is a bit underrated and the Packers do not have Clay Matthews so Henne will not be getting harassed all game.

Greg Olsen, simply because i wouldn't trust any of the saints pass catchers because brees spreads it around so much and seems to sort of 'feature' guys and there is no way to predict who that might be.

Mendenhall and MJD at running back i think Steelers get a lead early and run to ease Big Ben back into the system.

Boldin at WR he'll bounce back and put up solid numbers, i see around 60-80 yards and a TD

i really like Marcedes Lewis so i'd start him, he'll see a lot of targets especially if the jags have to play from behind

still a toss up b/w heath miller and moeaki... any other suggestions?

Moeaki. He will get a lot of targets against the Texans.

Plus it's all about HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP not heath.

Agree with Moeaki. Texans have been bad in passing D. Moeaki keeps getting the looks and since Bowe is dropping passes, Cassell will look to hit Moeaki even more.

[ZIBBY28]

thanks fellers.. if it backfires, I'll be sure to blame you all just to make myself feel better

[bauer77]

who should i start in my flex spot?

wes welker vs our very good defense
leshaun mccot vs falcons. but he is still suffering from his rib injury and i have a feeling if he gets hurt too much, the eagles could pull him
mike williams (TB) vs. saints

I always start a RB in the flex spot just because it's basically guaranteed they'll get more touches.. thats a good problem to have, though. I'm actually starting Welker and Williams both this week with Fitz and Ocho on byes, but if McCoy plays (and he most certainly will), he's your guy.

What rib problem? HIs ribs looked fine as he crushed the niners.

My receivers are Wayne, Jennings, MUrphy, Sims-Walker. I gotta start 1 opposite Wayne and I need to fill a flex

I also have Ronnie Brown and Lynch for flex. Im not going to play hillis.

Who should I put for WR and flex?

[Clutch Ravens]

Pick between:

Steven Jackson (vs SD)

or

Ahmad Bradshaw(vs Det)

Other Runningback is MJD and I just can't bring myself to ever bench him. By the way, this is in a 10-team "Competitive" league in which I'm 2-0 so, if I lose, I'm looking for a scape-goat.

Don't bench MJD, correct. Micheal Bush tore up San Diego last week. Jacobs is stealing Goal line carries from Bradshaw as well as garbage time carries. It's an excellent matchup for Bradshaw, but I'd stick with Jackson.
