Hakeem Nicks (because of injury) or Reggie Wayne?

I'll wager Smith has a better game than Green. And no, I dont think the offense will be run first.

Have to see it in real action to believe it. Torrey Smith could have a incredible game but AJ Green is the safer pick. Especially after watching dominant #1s abuse our defense.

Nicks. He plays well through injuries and when coming back from injuries. When he plays you have him active.

I have Brandon Lloyd vs Ten and Jamal Charles vs Atlanta for WR/R. I figure Lloyd will do well with Brady. Should I switch Llyod out?
[/quote]
I'd probably bench Lloyd. Smith and Flacco really torched the Bengals last season and I see no reason why that would be different this year. Tenn has a decent secondary, but Lloyd could go off as well. I would probably start Smith though.

[rmw10]

Manning against Pitt or Schaub against Miami?

Also, pick 1:
Dwayne Bowe vs. ATL
Titus Young vs. STL
Kendall Wright vs. NE

Manning will have more of an opportunity to throw. Pitt can stop the run and the game will be competitive.

Texans will run first and if they get a lead, run some more.

Young
Bowe
Wright

Though Wright is the most likely to have a monster game against the Pats. He is also the most likely to be a dud week 1. I love Young's matchup.

[D-Rey]

Ya I think I'll go with Green And Smith. Lloyd is listed as the number 2 on their depth chart and I think he's gonna have a great year with Brady. But I'm gonna start my studs and see how Lloyd does. thanks for the help. Hopefully with M. Vick, L. McCoy, Chris Johnson, and J. Charles it won't matter lol.

bowe and Manning

[bauer77]

I'm also in a 4 team league (2nd time im doing this, its actually really fun), so don't be surprised by the amount of studs i have lol. Pick 2:
DeSean Jackson vs CLE
Greg Jennings vs SF
Roddy White vs KC
Jordy Nelson vs SF
Victor Cruz vs DAL

[SydneyRaven]

Guys, pick 3 out of:

Brandon Lloyd @ TEN
Nate Washington v NE
AJ Green @ BAL
Eric Decker v PIT
Brandon LaFell @ TB
Lance Moore v WAS

Leaning towards Green, Washington & Lloyd, but not sure.

[AwakenTheDemon]

How about, and this is LOL worthy...

Jason Witten who was just activated vs. Jared Cook against New England?

Washington, Decker, and Green.

Washington is going to see more targets, even against a better NE defense, with Britt suspended for this week. Decker is looking like Peyton's favorite target, and Pittsburgh's pass defense could very well be vulnerable. They've struggled with Manning before, but we've yet to see Manning play since overcoming his injuries. If your league is PPR, Decker should be worth even more. And Green because... well, he's THE guy in Cincy, even against us. Gresham will get some looks, but A.J. is who they want to get into sync.

Lloyd isn't a bad choice at all, I just don't like New England receivers this year much.

Cruz is a lock. Carr will most likely be trying to cover him, and Brandon is not the cover corner he's made out to be. Eli and Cruz will have success tonight. Second one is tougher, I'd honestly this week lean towards Jackson, solely because Haden is suspended, and that should make Cleveland vulnerable to the pass until he's back.

I dont trust Beanie Wells. At all.
[/quote]

I know, but I have no backup RBs and the ones on Free Agents are atrocious and I don't have space anyway. If I lose an RB, I'm screwed. I don't want what I'll do when they're on Bye. Hopefully someone will swap me one.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Started Witten over Greg Olsen because I just saw he was active. Lets see how it works out.

Yup, I'm rolling the dice and starting Witten too.

I think its worth it as he is Romo's favorite target. I just hope he doesn't make hist injury worse.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Well, the good news is he was cleared by the medical staff and he's wearing extra padding around his abdomen.

[bauer77]

Do we all have Witten or something? lol I guess i'm gonna start him too. My only other option is Jacob Tamme. And Denver's playing the Steelers. No thanks.


EDIT: I switched him out at like, the last second. Glad i did, with the way the games going so far.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Honestly, I had painted myself into a corner when it came to TE. It was either Witten, who slipped due to the spleen and always have the higher end potential, or rolling with either Cook/Keller/Gresham as my starter.

Yeah, last year i was lucky to draft Gronk and he went off obviously.

[bauer77]

Ok, my back up TE is Jacob Tamme. Should i start him sunday? Or pick up either Jared Cook Jr (vs. NE) or Mercedes Lewis (vs. MIN)?

I say Cook because I haven't heard much about Gabbert throwing to Lewis but I could be wrong about that. I would look to see if Kyle Rudolph or Greg Olsen are available though.

Ah yes. Rudolph, totally forgot about him. Picked him up in place of Tamme. One more question, and then I'm done haha.
Pick 2:
Doug Martin vs. CAR
Jamaal Charles vs ATL
Steven Jackson vs DET
MJD vs MIN.

I was gonna go with Martin and Charles. Still debating on it though.

[Gordo52]

Should of started Jennings instead if Nicks. Ughhh

Martin and Charles because MJD will be the 3rd down back and Jackson won't see many touches because the Rams will be losing from the start.

Nothing against Joe, but if I had Drew Brees, Joe would only start 2 games a year...
[/quote]

Yep. I gave that some thought and switched him out. I had my reasons for wanting to start him, but they didn't prevail this time. He'll be playing on the Saints' bye week. lol

[a20havoc]

It's very obvious this is my first season. I made a stupid mistake yesterday--not playing Bradshaw vs. the Cowboys. I'd be ahead by 6 pts right now. And despite my previous comment, I think I will regret playing MJD this week, when I should be playing Adrian Peterson's backup. Got to pay attention.

Hey, I'll man up and admit my mistakes. That's how you learn.

But at this point, I feel like the bearded guy in the blue suit who pimps NFL.com fantasy football knows more than I do. lol.

No you shouldn't of, Hicks was healthy and should of had a huge game.

Anyone would of played him, don't let hindsight get in the way.

[Alexir]

Davone Bess is out there and while I am not a huge fan, he is the number 1 in Miami and Tannehill has to throw it to someone...

Should i drop Fleener for Bess?
