Here's a deeper one in a ppr league.

Amendola, Gaffney or Armomashdu.

I actually just picked up Amendola and plugged him in over Gaffney. Feel like with the Redskins blitzing, a lot of intermediate routes for Amendola. Plus Robinson will be out. Could be good for 5+ catches.

I'd go with Amendola. Aromashodu has been passed on the depth chart and may not see significant playing time again unless someone gets hurt. Gaffney has too many guys to contend with for catches.

yet again i've got this problem. Dez Bryant or Malcolm Floyd?

started floyd week 1 and bryant had the better game then swapped them last week and floyd got the stats. i almost want one of them to get injured to make the decesion easier!

[Shawn`]

Alright guys, need some help.

Which 2 running backs should I start?

MJD vs PHI
Rashard Mendenhall @ TB
Matt Forte vs GB

with batch at QB i'd geuss mendenhall is going to get a lot of touches so start him.

and then MJD, he's got to break out one week and you'll kick yourself if its this week and he's on the bench.

Dez Bryant. I expect the Cowboys Texans game to be an offensive explosion. Romo is looking Bryant's way. I'm going Dez in this game.

MJD and Matt Forte

Can't sit the stud. And Ride Forte, Should be a high scoring affair in Chicago. Look for Forte to rack up at least one TD.

[Natural Born Hitters]

Should I start Kevin Walters? And who should I bench for him to come in?


TQB = Ravens
RB = Cedric Benson
RB = LeSean McCoy
WR = Calvin Johnson
WR = Anquan Boldin
TE = Jermichael Finley
D/ST = 49ers
K = Sebastian Janikowski

Bench = T.J. Houshmandzadeh (WR), Willis McGahee (RB), Dolphins TQB, Bengals D/ST, Cadillac Williams (RB), Kevin Walter (WR), Fred Davis (TE), Billy Cundif (K)

Leave your starting lineup just as it. Boldin and Johnson are better option than Walter.

[Natural Born Hitters]

Cool, Thanks again man. Go Ravens!

I'm undecided about who to plug in my flex spot in ATD's Yahoo league(PPR). I'm 0-3 and really need to get back on track.

Ryan Torain(vs. PHI), Mike Williams(vs. STL), Mike Goodson(vs. NO)

I'm also trying to decide between Torain and Goodson in my standard league.

Mike Williams. If you put Torain or Goodson in, my guess you'll get burned with a big fat 0. No idea what Shannan will do week to week. We all thought it would be Williams. Goodson comes in during mop up duty. But will they use him again against a divisional opponent?

I'm skeptical about playing Williams because of his shoulder injury but St.Louis is a fine match-up.

Shanahan's RB schizophrenia is troubling but he has a history with Torain and with Portis struggling, Torain could get 10+ touches.

Goodson is cutting into J-Stew's minutes and has some value in PPR leagues. And like you said, he's used a lot in mop-up and could rack up some decent totals.

I probably won't decide till Saturday night.

Shanahan did like Torain in Denver two year back, after the 2 or 3 guys ahead of him went out with an injury. I think I picked him up for that two game window in 2008. Then Torain ended up going down with an injury which propelled Hillis into fantasy relevance.

So I agree that Shanahan does like Torain as he followed him to Washington. Torain sounds like Shanny's guy, not Portis. But I would not trust Goodson at all.

Off topic, this will be twice in a career Portis will get screwed by Shanahan.

Williams (if Healthy)
Torain
Goodson.

You're right about Torain.

I really don't think Shanahan has screwed Portis this time though. I've been a big Portis fan for a long time but he's obviously declined as a RB and the team needs fresh legs.

I'm sure Portis is thinking that Shanny screwed him. I heard that he was quoted with saying he doesn't know what his role is in this offense anymore.

hmmm... what about Maurice Morris/Kevin Smith [i]if[/i] Best is out this week?

[AwakenTheDemon]

The under performing (at the moment) Brent Celek or roll the dice and start Aaron Hernandez in his place?

Celek is bound to break out, although I'm never sure now with Vick under center and not looking his way as much as anticipated.

I've already benched Ricky Williams for Laurence Maroney (at the moment at least), due to Williams' "meh" performance thus far and Maroney's performance in the place of Moreno. Especially since it looks like Moreno might sit for another week.

i really like hernandez so i'd start him, especially if its a PPR league? like you've said vick isn't looking at celek too often, he seems to prefer maclin and jackson

[stormie]

I cannot get a break, no matter which WR I put in I seem to have the point earner on the bench.

[u]This week who which 2 WR's would you put in the game this week?[/u] My playing RB's are: Maurice Jones-Drew, Arian Foster and Peyton Hills.

[b]Wes Welker[/b] (note: I do have Brady but I'm putting Drew in to play this week.)

[b]Mike Sims-Walker[/b]

[b]Marques Colston[/b]
[b]
Steve Smith[/b] (Car.)

[b]Terrell Owens[/b] (I don't think TO is doing much at all)


[i]As always thanks for the much needed help and advice. [/i]

Wes Welker a must. If the Jags want to win this game they will have to give the ball to MJD. So I wouldn't put your eggs all in one basket with MJD and MSW. Don't get me started on Steve Smith, Carolina's Offense is putrid. And the Bengals will look to feed Benson and Scott the ball a lot this game.

So Colston is the last man standing. Wes & Colston.

You have a point about the Jags. But when I play Welker I feel like I need to put Brady in. I'm not so sure Brady will be the better choice over Drew this week. ??

I've kept Colston in there and not been too happy with him. Guess I can give him one last try. lol Steve Smith has almost been dropped a few times but I can't really find anyone on waivers worth picking up.

BTW the advice I got here before the FF season started was awesome. I'm so glad you got me to snatch Arian Foster up.

Just because you are starting a WR doesn't mean you have to start the QB. You are hedging your losses. Brees should put up better numbers than Brady. But Wes should put up better numbers than Colston. It's all a numbers game.

We give plenty of bad advice as well. Its so hard to predict FF. But Arian Foster is a guy you want, lots of touches, healthy and on an offensive powerhouse.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Henne or Mcnabb this week? I know Mcnabb is the first choice lol

Tough one. The Dolphins wanted to test the Jets secondary last week and did a great job. Now they have a very bad secondary in New England. So I can see Henne lightning it up. I know I'm benching Flacco for Henne this week.

If this was a normal week for McNabb, I'd say Henne. But the fact that he's playing his former team could boost his numbers.

I'm sticking with my guns and saying Henne at Home against a very weak secondary.

hmm that is something to think about(do I play you this week lol,I gotta look into my teams today)Hmmm I will be racking my brain on this one.Was thinking Henne to,for more reasons then what you stated.i mean who would know McNabb better then Philly's defense

And Vice Versa who would know Philly's Defense better than McNabb. But Andy Reid is the factor here, he knows McNabb like the back of his hand.

So its Henne. But since you are playing me, I say McNabb.
