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.
[/quote]

I would do Martin and Charles also - I am leaning MJD though over Charles as you cant keep a player like him out for very long.


Who should I start:
Toby Gerhart vs. Jags
Shonn Greene vs. Bills

Ugh, terrible predicament. Honestly, I'd probably go Greene, only because the Jets passing game is terrible... but so is their running game.

So Peterson isn't viable this week, so that means I need to choose his replacment:
Ben Tate Vs. Miami
or
Michael Bush Vs. Indianapolis

With Lynch's status in the air, do I go get Washington or Turbin or go with someone like Pierre Thomas?

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.

He wasnt 100%

The only reason I started him over Jennings was because I was so anxious to watch football and I wanted someone playing. Put him in last second lol

Turbin - if Lynch doesnt play, he looked like a beast in preseason

ATD - That one is tricky I would lean Bush though as he will probably get the goal line carries, Im not sure Tate will.

I'd go with Turbin over Washington, he seems like the incumbent #2. However, if possible, I'd take Thomas if you have him. In a few leagues, I'm rolling with Thomas, only problem is the Saints backfield with Thomas, Ingram, and Sproles. Who knows how points are going to be going, but the same can be said in Seattle with Lynch up in the air.

How do you guys think I'll fare, should I swap anyone? I'm hoping Rashad Jennings gets some good yardage in.

I'm the Ravens (left), obviously.

Why do you have 3 QBs? Trade one if you can for another RB. Oh. Dont start Schaub. Ryan or Flacco are better options.

[ZIBBY28]

need 2 (RB and a flex), 0.25 PPR...

Trent Richardson
Ronnie Brown (if Matthews doesn't play)
Peyton Hillis
Fred Davis
Roy Helu / Evan Royster / Alfred Morris (all available)
Nate Washington (no Britt)

suggestions?

I'd go Hillis and Washington.

Matthews definitely isn't playing but I don't trust Ronnie Brown, and they'll probably do some sort of committee while he's out anyway. I'm deferring on Davis and any of the Washington backs. No Redskin is trustworthy when it comes to fantasy, the only two I'd consider drafting/starting in some capacity right now are RG3 and Garcon. Of the three backs, Royster looks to be the guy this week but who knows.

Richardson is coming off of the knee thing and they've been wishy washy for a week+ on whether or not he'll play, and how limited he may or may not be if he does. Part of me thinks he won't be playing at all and that all of the talk is just posturing to psych out the Eagles. He still hasn't played a single snap in the NFL, and the Browns aren't going to be in the red zone much or scoring much at all. I've got him on one of my teams too and I'm leaving him on my bench until he is either 100% healthy and sure to carry the load of a game, or shows that he is everything he's been hyped up to be.

Washington is an effective 1,000 yard receiver when Britt is out, and Locker will be throwing all day against New England.

Hillis and Charles are going to get just about an even split 50/50 of the touches this year for KC, with Hillis getting more of the goal line work and he'll also be valuable in the passing game. He's going to wind up being a great fantasy value this year since he went so much later than Charles but will put up equal if not better stats.

Why not start Schaub? Against a Miami defense which isn't that stout. I'll try to trade for another HB.

Texans are a run first team. Ryan would be my starter...he has much better weapons and they throw more.

[a20havoc]

On one of my teams I have Ray Rice starting and Bernard Pierce on the bench. When, if ever, should I play Bernard Pierce? Ray will play every game, but what's the best way to pick the second rb to play?

[/quote]

Pierce is nothing more than a handcuff to Rice, and the only time you should ever play him is if Ray Rice gets injured and misses some games. Rice is one of the more durable backs in the nfl and doesn't miss games really, so Pierce is really just taking up roster space on your team. You could probably drop him because you'd probably be able to pick him up off waivers if Rice did happen to get hurt

[RavensPunkXVX]

So, Matt Ryan over Matt Schaub? Any other input?!

Ryan. The Chiefs will play them close so he will pass a lot and the Texans are a run first team and will run a lot as they play the Dolphins who are not very good.

[frezeal33]

Should I play Marshawn Lynch or DeAngelo Williams?

Should I play Joe Flacco or Alex Smith?

Non PPR.

Williams, JStew is either gonna be out or limited so he'll have a bigger workload, and TB were bottom of the league last year against the run. Lynch is questionable to even start his game.

Hard to say on Flacco or Smith. Smith will wind up having to throw alot playing GB, but we've also seen what Flacco has in store for our offense. I'd lean towards Flacco but that one could go either way honestly

Thanks! But I'm still worried about Lynch. He is projected by NFL.om to get about 7-8 more points than D-Will. But, he may not play.. so I might have to just play it safe and go with D-Will.

[bauer77]

Hmmm. I did have DeSean Jackson in, but now that Joe Haden is probably gonna play, i'm leaning towards sitting him. So should i go with Greg Jennings or Jordy Nelson (vs SF) or Roddy White vs KC. Was gonna put in Roddy. Not sure though

I've been told multiple times, and I've learned the hard way lol. Don't ever go on projections. They don't really mean jack.

Well, Lynch is still a much better back, but it is possible that D-Will could do better. What do you think?

I'm gonna wait to see even if Lynch is gonna play first, i have him in 1 of my leagues as well. If he plays, i would go with him. Cause Lynch is definitely the better back.

I agree. Thank you!

[ZIBBY28]

thanks, guys... the only reason I'm shying away from Nate Washington is because I like the guaranteed touches Ronnie Brown gives me this week (needless to say I'm weary about what Richardson will give me)

[reediddy]

[quote name='D-Rey' timestamp='1316877725' post='802483']
I need help with
2nd HB
D. McFadden (He's been a beast for me but is against the jets this week) or F. Gore vs the Bengals

Pick 2 WR
S. Smith Panthers( not going to sit him anymore lol)
J. Maclin
S. Johnson
W. Welker

W/R
One not picked from the two groups that you think will perform well. Thinking I'm going to start three wr this week.
[/quote]

Believe me, always start DMC. I remember having the same aversion to starting him against NYJ last year, but I started him anyway and....it was beautiful

[Mt. Crushmore]

Trent Richardson is playing.

Marshawn Lynch is playing will limited snaps.

Jonathan Stewart is out.

Beanie Wells is playing but Ryan Williams will get a majority of snaps.

Arian Foster looks like he will play.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Issac Redman starting for the Steelers.
