Forget Best over Williams. The better question should be Foster over Williams. Foster is going against the historically bad run D of the Colts. This game should be filled with TDs, so Foster should get his fair chances of goal line touches.

I love Foster in this matchup. Then I'd take Williams, because Stewart is hobbling in. Then probably best. Need to see him in regular games. Urclacher and Tommy Harris will make the Chicago run D more stout and Detroit could fall behind early.

T-Ray I hope you took my advise on this one. Though Best was not a bad option since he did rack up the TDs.

A. Foster 231 RuYd, 3 RuTD (1,25,8), 7 ReYd, Recpt - 42 FFP
D. Williams 62 RuYd - 6 FFP
J. Best - 20 RuYd, 2 RuTD (7,4), 16 ReYd, 5 Recpt - 20 FFP

right got a bit of a dilema this week. i'm in a standard scoring PPR league

I have Drew Brees and i have the 49ers Defense/special teams unit and they play against each other this week. now the problem is do i start Brees and pick up an alternate DST unit (possible options include Denver and Titans) or do i play them both even though they are against each other?

There's nothing wrong with playing them both. But given the situation that they are playing the Saints and they look just flat against the Seahawks. It might be best to look at another option for one week IF you have roster space to do so.

If I had San Fran's D and Drew Brees, I'd probably just start both and not worry. Just because I can't cut any of my guys to make room for a 2nd D.

[benravens1]

unfortunately there are alot of people carrying 2 D's in my league so i'll probably stick with them and hope they score solid enough numbers to not flat out lose me the game

Hmmm.... who to start as my flex, Eddie Royal or Donald Driver? I'm leaning towards Driver myself. I keep creating more choices for myself. I get to decide if I want to start Zach Miller, Brent Celek, or Marcedes Lewis at tight end, heh.

Hmmm. Tough pick. I like Driver on a offensive team, but the Bills do play well against the pass. But Royal had 8 catches for 98 yards (which is hard to ignore) going against the Seahawks.

Usually I'd say Driver, but I like Royal here. Here's to hoping he continues his play, because I was down on him during drafts.

That's a sweet TE "situation" you have.

Between Royal and Driver, I'd go with Royal. The Seahawks were impressive in their dismantling of the 9ers but I'm still not sold on their secondary - I don't even know who their nickel is. Royal should have a big game.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yeah, I was leaning towards Driver because... well, Aaron Rodgers. But Royal is sitting in my starting line-up at the moment solely because Seattle has only played San Fran with Alex Smith at quarterback. After giving us Wilson, they're corners are Trufant, Roy Lewis, and Kelly Jennings as their starters and nickel. Outside of Trufant, there isn't much to their corners.

Picked up Marcedes since I didn't like what I saw between Vick and Celek and Lewis has some promise.

If Michael Bush plays this week, do I roll with Run DMC against a dreadful STL team or go with J. Best against Philly?

[/quote]

With Stafford out and Hill in, I could see Detroit going to the ground more. Especially with how well Best did in his first career game and Philly did give up over 100 yards rushing last week. For Oakland, McFadden didn't do half bad last week and who knows how effective Bush will be in his first game back.

I'd side with Best.

Jahvid Best. Should get plenty of touches with carries and catches.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Here's another one for ya:

As it sits right now... I'm starting Ochocinco and Greg Jennings with Ahmad Bradshaw in my flex spot. However, I recently picked up Megatron. Now, should I start him over Ocho or Jennings, or place him in my flex over Bradshaw. On one hand, he [i]is[/i] Megatron. On the other hand, Shaun Hill is getting the start, so how effective will the Lion pass attack really be? Plus, with Arian Foster destroying the Indy defense, I'd think twice about taking out Bradshaw.

First off, Jennings is a must start... The pack is playing Buffalo who won't be able to stop him imo, regardless of their semi-talented secondary. They have n talent anywhere else, also with Ryan Grant out, expect the Packers to throw more to ease Brandon Jackson into the job as a full time starter.

As you said, Bradshaw is looking good this week and is hard to bench, so imo it's a question of Megatron over Ocho... Megatron against Philly with Shaun Hill throwing, or Ocho against the Ravens secondary... Question is, how good is our secondary? Can we keep Ocho out of the game?

My gut would go with Megatron, simply because of the infamous non-call-td... I'm thinking he's coming back with a BIG chip on his shoulder after that one...

I agree. Jennings I would start despite playing Buffalo's secondary.

Colts look to be weak again in run defense. Bradshaw should play nicely.

And I would go with the stud Megatron. I actually think he'll put up some nice catch totals with Shaun Hill. They'll probably fall behind and Lions will be forced to throw. Hill does a nice job of getting the ball to where the player can catch. He won't wow you with a deep ball.

urgh!!

Is there a way to go with neither? Forced to make the choice I'd go with Devin, but I don't like any of them this week, and am in a situation myself where I need to start Stewart in one of my leagues... who's on the wire?

That's a tough one.

I'd discount Wells because he's still dealing with a bum knee. Aromashodu is the safer play because he's going to get a lot of targets and should have a solid game. With Stewart, I can see Fox making an effort to get him the ball more than last week and Carolina has no problem gashing the Bucs.

I'd go with Stewart.

Nobody worth dropping anybody on my team for.

Jonathan Stewart has a great matchup and usually rips Tampa Bay. Plus they might be without their QB. Lots of running. But after last weeks limited touches for 12 yards. It's hard to give the guy the nod.

If I can assume Aromashodu will get a lot of targets, he makes for a decent play in a PPR league. J-Stew is the one that is really messing things up. Because you don't want to start him and get hosed like last week, but you don't want to bench him and get hosed on him going off on your bench.

Aromashodu received 10 targets last week and I feel it'll be more of the same this Sunday.

I couldn't agree more about Stewart. As my RB1, I have to play him every week but deciding whether to put him in your flex spot is a tough decision. TB's run D looked leaky against the Browns so I'd be surprised if Stewart doesn't break 50 yards against them. Whether he scores is another question.

[XxSizzleXx]

I'd go with Aromashodu for the reason that ER pointed out is that you know he will get his targets, factor in it's a ppr league and Stewarts massive 12 yards last week I would go with the Bears wideout.

[Alexir]

Go Jonathon Stewart, he has a favorable match-up and is at 100%. Also, Moore might not play so they will have to rely on the run more. The Daily Show will be in full effect sunday at Tampa.

[NSWraven]

Which of these should i start for this week at WR i have to choose between Boldin, Calvin Johnson, TO, Roddy White and Mohamed Massaquoi. Im thinking Boldin Johnson and White.
Also i have 2 kickers who to start out of Kaeding or Kasey?
Thanx for the help guys.

White, Johnson, and Boldin... nice trio of recievers there btw. As for kicker, it truly doesn't matter. You'll get tons of points out of either, and you'll only lose about 1 or 2 points if you play the worse one this week. With that said, I'd go with Kaeding, as he plays for a good offense (not great w/o Jackson, McNeil, and LT, but good), and will get opportunities to kick extra points as well as some FG's.

Now with Stewart, is it possible that the reason he didn't carry it more times is due to: 1) the fact that the Panthers had to play catch up football; 2) the fact that Fox was easing him in against the Giants good Run D, and now that Tampa is up on the plate, he'll unleash him??

[NSWraven]

I also have Frank Gore starting for me but do u think i should keep him in or give Brandon Jacobs a go this week?

I'd go with my stud runningback who gets a vast majority of the carries on a running team over Jacobs, who while gets goal line carries, gets benched for Bradshaw about 50 percent of the time.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I'd start Gore over Jacobs. First off, Bradshaw is taking more and more touches away from Jacobs every week, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bradshaw as the starter soon. Secondly, Gore is on a team with a struggling quarterback, so chances are he'll have to carry the offense, while Jacobs is on a team with a good quarterback who seems to have a found his new favorite target.

White for sure, Boldin yes. No explanation needed.

As for your kicker, it really doesn't matter, they are both about the same. Just close your eyes and pick one.

You drafted Gore for a reason. Start your studs. Bradshaw will have a big game, Jacobs should do okay. But Gore you should start.

[benravens1]

In a PPR league i need to choose 1 from: Malcolm Floyd, Dez Bryant and Derrick Mason.

Wes Welker and Roddy White are my other 2 starters but i'd say they are pretty much must-start guys. so who is the number 3 guy?
