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.

Alright. Follow-up question: I just got Toby Gerhart. Should I start him over McGahee. Note that they're playing each other's teams.

[flaccopoe]

Gerhart or Deangleo Williams? Deangelo's been doing great the past couple weeks, but I still feel a little wary about him. Gerhart did great his first start, but it's only one game.

For WR, should I start Antonio Brown or Marques Colston? Brown will be facing the elite Bengals' D, but he's one of Big Ben's main targets; he did much better than Wallace last week. Colston and the Saints just got a blowout win, so I think he'll do great, but he is facing the elite DET pass d.

Tough One. I watched Gerhart run and it was painful. He's only going to average 2.0 YPC against the Broncos. But he has the best chance to score at the goalline. I'd still go with McGahee over Gerhart.

Don't know how you can say Gerhart looked great in his first start. He gained 44 yards on 17 carries which was good for 2.6 YPC (That's a generous YPC for him). But I can never trust D-Will. He's just one of those guys that you start he poops. He sits he scores two TDs. Plus he's splitting carries. I'd go with Gerhart because you know he'll get the goalline work.

I would go Brown. Wallace is still getting all the attention. Which means he'll draw Leon Hall. Bengals Run D is pretty good and the Steelers will pass to win this game. Brown should be in line for some nice production.

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



I second everything this man just said.



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!

Ya the only thing I am worried about is the Vikings are a top ten run defense. But i do like to go with HBs over wrs. McGahee has been good this year, so I'll go with him. Thanks

The Vikes D does worry me a bit in the matchup. But I am hoping that they are so gung ho about stopping Tebow that McGahee might be able to find some lanes on options.

Just because Colston is the best WR on the roster it doesn't mean he will get the load, the only thing about Colston is when Brees WANTS you to have points, you will have points. He has so many viable options on the team it's unbelievable.

Antonio Brown is a great player to have for FF
Wallace seems to be getting coverage and Brown is making the most of his targets

Brees has so many options it's hard to know what his receivers will do. They might get two TD's and rack up points one week and get hardly anything the next week

Brown is the choice I'd go with

[BmorBirds]

Thanks to Brees, Rice and Gronkowski and some advice from yall, I finished 9-4 and the #1 seed in the playoffs. How did everyone else fair?

[Irish Raven]

Oh Chris Johnson
Why oh why couldn't you be like this all season?

On a plus note, CJ Spiller had another great week, could be a decent pickup for you if you're heading to playoffs in your league

I picked him up last week since I lost Freddie Jax.

[bauer77]

Pick 1:
Mike Wallace vs CLE
Jordy Nelson vs OAK
Roddy White vs CAR

And for my flex spot:
Marshawn Lynch vs STL
Steven Jackson vs SEA

[BmorBirds]

Heading into the playoffs would you change anything, anywhere?

QB- Drew Brees
RB- Ray Rice
RB2- CJ Spiller
WR- Greg Jennings
WR2- Percy Harvin
TE- Rob Gronkowski
Flex- Darren Sproles
D/ST- NYJ

Bch- Malcom Floyd(WR)
Bch- Jeremy Maclin(WR)
Bch- Deion Branch(WR)
Bch- Joseph Addai(RB)
Bch- Jermicheal Finley(TE)
Bch- Houston(D/ST)

I'd go with Nelson and Lynch.

[D-Rey]

For the first round of playoffs I just need help with my Flex

HB W. McGahee vs. Bears
HB D. Thomas vs. Eagles (as long as he clears waivers)
WR S. Johnson vs. Chargers
WR A. Brown vs. Browns

McGahee and Brown have pretty bad match ups, so I probably won't go with them. Stevie put up good numbers against the number 7 ranked passing defense being the Jets. Chargers have the 6th best pass defense, but I think he will put up good numbers against them as well. Thomas is against the 17th ranked rush defense, but hasn't been consistent enough for me to trust him. Only three games with a good amount of points.

Also, is it worth keeping DMC at this point.

Gonna go Nelson first. Wallace will probably have Haden and the Steelers should run a lot. I do like White as well. He is probably the safer pick.

Lynch. The guy has found it. He has a TD streak going which Pete will look to keep alive. After S-Jax poor performance last week. I'd have all the confidence in Lynch (thankfully I have him in two leagues).

Stevie plays at a different level against Revis but then dies off against everyone else. Its really odd.

Also McGahee had a bad matchup against Minny and still averaged 5.6 ypc for 111 & a TD. I think teams focus in on containing Tebow so much that McGahee is finding open lanes down the middle. I'd continue to go with him in a non-ppr format.

I'd hold onto DMC. Might as well.

[jus'_crAzy]

Need to fill (non-PPR; points for returns):
- 2 RBs
- 1 W/R/T
- 1 TE
- 1 DEF

CJ Spiller
Toby Gerhart
Demarco Murray
Marion Barber
Antonio Gates
Jason Witten
Chicago D
Broncos D


Dank.

[D-Rey]

man I should of started brown lol

[theblackdog]

A little RB help is needed this week:

Demarco Murray vs NYG
Benjarvus Green-Ellis vs WAS
Kevin Smith vs MIN
Pierre Thomas vs TEN
Toby Gerhart vs DET

Currently I have Murray and Green-Ellis starting, but I'm thinking of swapping Gerhart for Green Ellis.

I would go with DeMarco for sure.

Scratch Kevin Smith. He has yet to practice this week. Scratch Pierre Thomas, he is in a major time share. Peterson was back at practice yesterday and it is looking optimistic that he'll play in week 14.

So that leaves you with BGE. Pats should be up so they should run a ton. If AP does not play, I'd go with Gerhart because you know he'll get all the work, plus Suh is out.

Thanks, I see that AP didn't practice Weds and was limited yesterday, so I'm thinking he's questionable for now.

He'll do a little more in practice today. And will probably put in a full practice on Saturday.

[BMOREHAWAII]

Another start/sit dilemma. Being as AP may or may not start this week Toby gerhart will either be a lock or not, but If AP doesn't start should I start miles Austin or Toby gerhart. If AP does start, I was almos thinking about benching Marques colston for miles Austin. I have Victor Cruz as a lock, Antonio brown who already has given me 35 points and my other two is between colston, austin, and gerhart. I really need some help guys, any would be appreciated thanks.

[D-Rey]

McGahee is listed as questionable, do you guys think he will go Sunday.

i need help on WR2 spot. I have Megatron as #1.

B.Lloyd
L.Robinson
M. Austin
M. Floyd


Helppp! lol

[Guest Moderator 6]

I can only start 2 of the 4: Who do I go with?

Santana Moss vs. NE
Jeremy Maclin @ MIA
DeSean Jackson @ MIA
Nate Washington vs. NO

They're all playing, but Maclin and Washington are not 100%. I'm leaning towards Moss and Maclin.
