Rodgers. The Cowboys have been terrible defensively for a while now.

Start Rodgers. God I swear he better get more than 20 points this week.

[bauer77]

in my flex spot:
Jamaal Charles vs. OAK
Peyton Hillis vs NE
Mike Williams (TB) vs ATL
Steve Johnson (BUF) vs CHI
Wes Welker vs CLE

a lot of people that ive talked to said i should always start a RB in my flex cause they get more touches obviously. so i guess that leaves Hillis and Charles. unless 1 of the others is a better option of course.

3rd.

Hillis is no slouch, though.

Sproles or Lynch? Keep in mind Rivers is out of basically all his receivers, and Sproles did score last week.
and:
Tate or Heyward-Bey? Murphy and Miller are banged up. More catches for Bey?

[Romo Ravens]

Jacob Tamme or Antonio Gates? He's such a beast BTW, might even play with a sprained toe, plantar fasciitis and a bum ankle lol.

Make sure to check about 30 mins before game-time to see if Gates playing or not.
And if he is, there really is no reason to start any other TE, because Gates has by far been the best TE in the NFL. Hes played hurt for most of the season, and Rivers will go for him early and often.

I have to go with Lynch. He will get a fair amount of guaranteed touches, even moreso with Hassleback out. Sproles is still a gamble. He rarely touches the ball in the run game, but makes his presence felt in the pass game. I'd just feel safer with Lynch.

Still don't trust Bey either. Cleveland is giving up fantasy points to receivers like its their job. If Tate is suppose to be the deep threat he's touted as, he should get some balls this game. Keep an eye on Branch. He is listed as questionable (but will probably play). Either way I like Tate between the two.

[svt2nv04]

I seriousy have my doubts about Gates this week guys...

If he plays, it'll be so hard to bench him. I mean even he's less than 100%, he'll still more than likely find the end zone. It's just that what if Tamme puts up good numbers this week against the Eagles that are generous to TE's? I'm stumped.

Same here, but I'd be a fool to bench him if he plays.

[svt2nv04]

Gates almost always puts up a lot of points every time he plays, even the last few weeks hurt. If he ends up playing I guess it could be safe to say that he could put up at least several points. I don't know this is tough. I'm thinking of just starting Tony Gonzalez in place of Gates, whether he play or not.

So, Gates or Gonzalez?

Usually I would say Gates no matter what. But Tamme is the one guy I'd make an exception for this week (did I really just say that?). Gates if plays will be one of the biggest focus points of the D, he'll lack that explosion and be in pain every time he pushes off. Local Anesthetic can only work so far on this injury. So its a risk that he might not even make it the whole game.

Tamme has a great matchup, already proving chemistry with Manning and the game should be high scoring. I'd go with Tamme just to play it safe.

Gates if he plays. Like I said the only guy I'd make an exception for is Tamme. If Gates plays, he should do better than 2 catches like Gonzo has been doing. Plus the Falcons should run the ball effectively.

well, if you guys like Mike Williams (TB) over Greene, can you say the same about J. Best over Greene?

J. Best hasn't scored in about 6 weeks going up against the Jets (one of the best D's in the league)

or

S. Greene up against the Lions (one of the worst D's in the league)

what to do, what to do...

[Skip727]

No questions for PuRock this morning just wanted to thank him for his advice in a trade I made...worked out well!

I don't like either of them, but if I had to choose I'd go with Greene over Best. Best is banged up and is going against the Jets D, plus he's losing value to Kevin Smith. You'd have to figure Greene will have to get into the game more and more. Wouldn't the Jets want to preserve LT for the playoffs? This game shouldn't get away from the Jets so the Running game should be huge today.

I'm counting on BJE in two leagues today, he better not let me down.

Speaking of which. Who's a better start? "The Law Firm" @ CLE or the "Lone" Donald Brown @ PHI?

I'd ride BJGE's TD streak. 4 TDs in the last 3 games, 2 last week. Give him the start over Brown for sure. He's had no fumbles that I'm aware of as well, so he'll keep getting touches with confidence from Bellichick.

I'd have to start the "Firm". Good luck

I think Gates is inactive. I haven't confirmed that yet though.

[svt2nv04]

Confirmed. He's inactive.

[PuRock]

[/quote]

Yep. So is Owen Daniels. So if you need a backup for Gates in a deep league, check out Dressen. Could get some great looks today against the Chargers. McMicheal can also be an option, but the last few games when he sees passes, he has dropped them. Don't expect McMicheal to make a huge splash, but he might get an opportunity to get a TD.

ok Favre or Henne?

That's a toss up. Harvin is really banged up and was limping in warm up. He's playing cause they have nobody else. They lost Moss. Plus Favre has a stiched up face and bum ankles. But he does have a nice matchup. But I think AP all day.

I'd start Henne. But don't root for the guy.

[dpatrickguy]

was thinking Henne but I feel both will be throwing picks. Ed Reed all day lol but yeah Henne might get some points up
