Looks like Gates is active and will start. I have Gates and Tamme as well as McMichael. Anyway, Gates or Tamme?

I currently have Tamme in there but thinking I should go with Gates but you just don't know with his injury.

Tamme! Gates might be a decoy and not make it through the whole game. I have Tamme and Gates as well and I'm going with Tamme

Guys I need help fast.. Kaeding, Vinatieri or Jay Feely? I have Jacob Tamme and I can't decide which kicker to pick down by 24, hurry!
[/quote]

I'd start Kaeding. Now how about helping me

Thanks for your opinion! Gates is a huge risk. He could put up 20 points but you never know if he'll even be in the whole game. Tamme is definitely a safer bet.

I'll just go with Tamme like you.

I didn't even think twice about it when I found out that Gates was probable. Tamme should have a nice night and it will hopefully turn into a shootout, and I just don't trust Gates even though he's a warrior. I'm down 24 with Kaeding and Tamme, we're in the same boat with Tamme, so good luck brotha.

Good luck to you too. I'm currently down 9 points. I have Tamme and Blair White and the other guy has Vincent Jackson. I'm projected to win by 4 points so this is really close.

We both beasted haha. Being down 24, I would have only lost by one using Kaeding! He got me 23 points, WOW, while Tamme got me 14. 7-4-1 with a first round playoff bye while Gates, Nicks and Romo get healthy just in time for that playoff run in FF.

My dad told me to start Feely, thank God I listen to you haha. Thanks my friend.

LOL, no problem. Last night toward the end of the game I was thinking how it looked like it was indeed a very good thing I said to start Kaeding. Didn't he have like 5 field goals??

He went off and even had a 50-yarder as well. I was so jealous of him because I needed to have Vinetari to have a nice game. Instead he only put up two extra points. Ended up losing by 4 points. Two FGs would've solved that.

The Colts are no longer the Colts.

Indeed....at least for this season.

[ZIBBY28]

oh Frank Gore... when I needed you the most.

[bauer77]

alright so i pretty much have Peyton Hillis and Jamaal Charles set at my 2 RB positions, now i need a flex.
Leshaun McCoy vs HOU
OR
Michael Turner vs. TB

i was gonna go with turner, because it seems like he finally broke out for the year now and he could do big things against the bucs defense.

and also i need some help at WR. pick 2
Steve Johnson vs MIN
Miles Austin vs IND
Wes Welker vs NYJ
or should i even go out and pick up someone off the waiver wire (i.e. Johnny Knox, Marques Colston, Dez Bryant)

i know! all i needed was 10 points from him, he was on pace to easily do that!

ah well McCoy and Turner to start the rest of the year for me.

Turner and McCoy should both be productive but i'd definately start Turner in the flex there.

Steve Johnson and Miles Austin would be my starts from the WRs you've got. i'm assuming revis lines up over welker and up until last week wes hasn't been massively productive

[Ravensdiciple96]

The runnning back spot, I got Hillis and Rice as my usual starters. Now since we are playing that stingy Steeler run defense, should I sit Rice and start Mike Tolbert against KC, thinking he will see more time then Ryan since he is coming off injury and they will work him in slowly ( I would presume).

Now at WR since Nicks has gone down I picked up Holmes and now have Wallace, Lloyd and Johnson to juggle around. I'm going with Johnson because I believe he will rebound off that OT TD drop, but confused wether to start Wallace against us or Holmes at the Pats?

[AwakenTheDemon]

Mike Thomas, Davone Bess, or Pierre Garcon? I just can't decide :|

Turner as the flex. He is starting to rack up 100 yards games and gets all the goalline carries. I think Vick will still much of the thunder from McCoy this week.

Steve Johnson in a redemption game. Stevie is now 12th in the league with targets (and that is with fewer games as the Bills struggled to find a identity early on). I'm staying away from Dallas WRs. I never know what the hell will happen. Dez looked good there for a while but has sort of disappeared the last two games. Austin is getting fluky fantasy points.

I'd actually go with Colston off the wire. 2 straight games with 8+ catches and 100+ yards. The Saints seem to be rolling in the passing game. And they are going against Cincy who has been suspect against the pass since their guys have been on and off injured.

I heard Craig Davis on the radio this morning saying to start Fred Jackson over Ray Rice. But he's right. Rice struggles to find the endzone. Couple that with going against a great run defense and Flacco is doing a better job spreading the ball around. I like Tolbert if Matthews doesn't play. And also Tolbert is playing against Oakland not KC (that's week 14) so he has a great matchup.

Monday Night they might get some snow showers w/ temperatures around 30 degress. It sounds cold and I remember Sanchez struggling when he hit the cold games early last year. I'd temper my expectations. I'd start Wallace.

If it's a PPR league, go with Bess. He should see a good amount of Eric Wright, who seemingly everyone has torched this year and even if he's matched up against Joe Haden, that doesn't mean he'll be shut down.

Nah, no PPR (as much as I wish it were. Love PPR). I'm leaning towards Thomas as of right now, and hoping that clown Finnegan is on Sims-Walker and not Thomas.

[Bigbell]

need help:

should i start TO VS new Orleans or M. Colston vs CIN

Yeah, Finnegan will probably be on MSW. I know he hasn't had the season people thought he would be but Garcon could produce some good totals against the Cowboys.

I think Revis will shadow Branch so Welker is a good choice cuz you know them Jets will bliz them all day long, so he's there to relieve the pressure from Bieber.

Manningham is another good start because 2 of their top wideouts are out. Redskins secondary is like cream and butter.

Dez Bryant is a better choice although Austins is #1 WR because the Colts secondary is bad.

[fistfullwales]

I need a RB2 from the following

Goodson
Tomlinson
Westbrook
K. Williams

and a WR2 from the following or should I try to pick someone else up?

Welker
Collie
Blair White

Ugh. That's some ugly options. Hopefully its a deep league you are talking about. But I'd go with LT as your #2 back. Goodson has a good matchup but he was outplayed by Stewart in the run game last week. Westbrook is already injured and will be splitting with Dixon and probably lose goal line touches. Don't trust Redskins running backs. James Davis could be worked in even more this week.

LT followed by Goodson.

Wes Welker. Collie isn't even a given to finish a game right now. And with that being said, White is the guy would be the ungiven part.

[Alexir]

Ok, so in one of my leagues, If I win, I'm in the playoffs.

This is my line up so far

QB-Matt Cassel
RB-Peyton Hillis (love this dude)
RB-Jamaal Charles
Flex (RB/wr)-
WR-Reggie Wayne
WR-Greg Jennings
TE-Jacob Tamme (not gonna play Gates, too risky)
D/St-Seattle
K-Akers (10 pts TNF)

Now this is what im working with for flex
[s]Vincent Jackson[/s]
Mike Williams (Seattle) vs Carolina
Sidney Rice vs Buffallo
Danario Alexander vs Arizona
James Jones vs San Fran

I cant decide. Im leaning towards Alexander because when he has played this year, him and Bradford have connected. But he has a limited snap count....

any thoughts?

Goodson and Tomlinson. Possibly Westbrook if you do Points per reception.

Check that status of Collie on Sunday. If he can go play him, if not Blair white. I dont like Welker vs Jets. At all!

I heard that Mike Williams did a full practice today and will likely play on Sunday. If ppr league. I like him. A target and reception beast. I feel good that he had a full practice today. James Jones has some nice upside, but with Driver around you still have to wonder about the consistency. Danario might not be a bad play but like you said, the limited snap counts leave me wanting more.

But I like Big Mike. When he's in lately he has been on fire.

But now that I say that and I am starting him in one league he will be a bum. Fair warning.
