I love your 4 team league. DeMarco Murray is all the man you need. Bush is a short term solution. McFadden will be back next week. Bush could flail at any moment. Lynch is also not a bad option. But Murray tops the list for me.

Hahaha yeah, its funny you always remember most of my team, and the fact that im in a 4 team league. xD Thanks dude!

Well F-Jax is out for the year. Bills are without Donald Jones as well. They are hurting. Jets are hungry. The decision is easy now.

You my friend are correct. That kind of made everything easier for me to decide now but damn does this blow hurt. I picked up Cj Spiller knowing he'll be the #1 back there now but I'm not starting him unless I see some production. I really didn't wan't to use Sproles as my RB2. Hopefully this doesn't kill my playoffs.

anyone have an opinion on Tsmith or boldin against the 49ers. i dont know much about their secondary, and the fact that smith had a big game last week i doubt he does it again...but i dont know, hes high risk high reward and boldin seems like a safer play..all that being said, i have smith starting as of now

Their secondary can get beat. They create turnovers more than shutdown. They just don't have the speed to compete with Torrey. Plus their Pass rush is hit or miss at times. I can see our O gameplan is taking deep shots early and often.

I think Torrey has at least a nice game (if our O-Line shows up).

[JO_75]

Ok, so in one of my other ESPN leagues, I had Matt Schaub but now he is gone. I picked up Alex Smith but I'm not sure if I like him as my Fantasy QB. I picked up Matt Moore and am deciding between Alex Smith vs Ravens Defense or Matt Moore vs Cowboys Defense.

Free Agents Available: These are the ones I'm considering.

- Matt Hasselbeck

- Josh Freeman

- Christian Ponder

- Ryan Fitzpatrick

- Caleb Hanie

- Sam Bradford

I moved the list down to Quarterbacks I'm considering to pick up, but don't know if I should. I may stick with Matt Moore as my starter but then I again I may change to Alex Smith.

[usmccharles]

I like smith, but nt against the ravens i dont. Fitz patrick will be hit or miss

I'm thinking about going with Matt Moore who has been the hot hand as of late and most likely will but just wanted to see what you guys thought.

[SydneyRaven]

I need to start 2 out of:

Victor Cruz v NO
Brandon Lloyd v ARI
Andre Johnson v JAX
Julio Jones v MIN

I'm lost on this one!

[ravens__]

Well, damn..

Helu (@SEA)
D. Williams (@IND)
J. Cook (TB)
H. Miller (@PIT)

Pick 2 of 4. One must be a TE for the TE slot, the other is for the flex spot.

[Reddawn36]

Sproles or Blount or DeAngelo Williams?

[PuRock]

LAST MINUTE ADVICE!

Cruz. Manningham might be out and the Giants are going to have to throw. I'm an AJ lover. I can't find a way to bench him.

J Cook. Steelers should be up and rely upon the run game. Helu & D Will.

You shouldn't thank me. That might be some horrible advice. 2 Rushing touchdowns for D-Will. I know he was playing the Colts, but where did that come from.

D-Will is the pits. You bench him, he scores. You start him he blows.

[ravens__]

Surprise, surprise, I lost to a seemingly inactive manager! Helu blows up for 34 points and I keep him benched. At least D-Will wasn't that bad of a start..

sproles hasn't played yet, and I would have had to dropped someone for Williams

[bauer77]

Tough decision for me:

Michael Turner vs HOU or
Steven Jackson vs SF

Both very good defenses. I couldnt decide who to go with.

Also pick 1:
Jordy Nelson vs NYG
Roddy White vs HOU
Mike Wallace vs CIN

[Irish Raven]

Two stout defenses for your RB's
Go with Turner, Rams Oline is a mess and so Jackson has struggled last two weeks. Struggled may be harsh but rushing yards way down.

Nelson
Wallace
White
That's the order I'd go with

Eh. I'd go with Turner. San Fran's rush defense is legit. Plus they should get up on the Rams and they will have to abandon the run.

I'd ride Roddy White. Ever since the bye where he said he's 100% , he's been lights out. Nelson scores TDs @ home. I think that is a home game.

As for Wallace. Teams are really taking him out, which is helping the emergence of Antonio Brown.

[PuRock]

All I want to say right now is Jimmy Graham is a beast.

[ZeydKhan]

So in both of my leagues, I have scored the most overall points, but in head-to-heads, I am 5-7 riding long losing streaks in both leagues. With playoffs coming up next week, I need to start win or I may not get a good seed.

In my 10 person league:

QB

Phil Rivers@JAC
Vince Young@Sea
Matt Hasselbeck@BUF

WR1+2/Flex

Vincent Jackson@JAC
Steve Smith@TB
Julio Jones@HOU
AJ Green@PIT
Brandon Lloyd@SF

I also have an 8 person league where I am doing a little better, but it has 2 QBs and that keeps screwing me because I keep starting Joe Flaccid :/

QB 1/FLEX

Aaron Rodgers@NYG
Joe Flacco@Cle
Matt Moore Oak

RB 1+2

Matt Forte KC
Demarco Murray@Ari
Michael Turner@Hou
Reggie Bush Oak

WR 1+2+3

Laurent Robinson @Ari
Eric Decker @ Min
Marques Colston Det
Andre Johnson Atl
Steve Smith @TB

TE

Vernon Davis Stl
Brent Celek@Sea

What do you guys think?

[flaccopoe]

For RB, should I start McGahee, Helu, or Kevin Smith? I'm leaning towards McGahee because he's been doing great rthe past month. Helu plays for the wildly inconsistent 'Skins, who will be facing the stingy Jets defense. Smith is still relatively untested, in addition to his injury.

Young if Vick doesn't come back. Hasselback if he does.
WRs: V-Jax and Steve Smith because Julio's too inconsistent, AJ's going up against the Steelers' D, and Brandon Lloyd's going up against a top 5 D in SF.

Other QB: Aaron Rodgers because he's Aaron Rodgers! [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img]
WRs: Robinson, Smith and Colston. Andre's still a question mark, especially with the new QB and Decker plays for the run-dependent Tebow Team.

TE: Davis because Celek doesn't have the potential that Davis has.

[D-Rey]

For my flex, should I start HB McGahee, HB Battle, WR Johnson, or WR Brown.

I'm thinking Brown because he had a good game against the Bengals a few weeks before.

That's an easy one for me. McGahee. Jets run D is getting back to where it was. Plus you can't trust Shanny with RBs. EVER. Even when you think its safe. He'll come to your house and rip the heart out of your dog. So yea. McGahee.

Which Johnson?!?!?!

There is Andre, Calvin and Stevie just to name a few.

[D-Rey]

My bad lol, Stevie Johnson

[BmorBirds]

Fred Jackson going down really hurt my RB core. I have Baby Ray, Darren Sproles, dropped Fred and picked up Cj Spiller now that hes the #1 back there and also picked Addai back up since he's really the only FA out there. Rays obviously my #1 and I love using Sproles as my flex but could I really use Spiller as my 2 already? I had to run both my TE's last week but im over Finley.

[Irish Raven]

Addai was coming back from injury but seems that Donald Brown is getting the carries.
I wouldn't have Addai on my team

Yes, I'd be ok with Spiller as number 2.
Not on Fred Jackson's level but Spiller also gets a lot of catches from short passes and screens, just the way the Bills play.

If its a ppr league I might go with Brown. But if its a non-ppr league I'd stick with McGahee.

I own Jimmy Graham in two leagues. He is quite the steal for being a 8th to 10th round pick. I like Dickson and all, but in retrospect I wish would've snagged Jimmy Graham instead. A 6'6" Catching machine. 1-on-1 coverage. Forget about it!
