So Randell Cobb having a bye week this week really hurts me. I don't trust any of my WRs lol. But

 

For QB

 

Flacco vs. Bills

or

Wison vs. Texans

 

Texans I know don't give up many fantasy points and the Bills do. Still debating on this one.

 

For WR

 

Vincent Jackson vs. Cardinals

Marion Brown vs. Bills

Greg Jennings vs.Steelers

or

Andre Johnson vs, Seattle

 

I'm kind of leaning towards Jackson and Brown.

 

Fortunately my RB situation is better with Charles Morris as 1 and 2, and Daniel Thomas as my flex. But not sure about my wr and qb.

 

BAL usually does mediocre on the road and Rice will be limited, at best.  Therefore, go with Wilson, who should pick up some rushing yd to pad his stats.  For your WRs, I would play it safe and start Jackson and Johnson.  Jennings is coming back from a concussion and Brown is very unreliable.

Bernard Pierce or Kenbrell Thompkins at the flex spot?? It's a PPR league.

 

If Ray Rice doesn't go, its Pierce.  But even if Rice plays, if there was ever a game for us to get the run game going, its this week.  I still like Pierce either way.  But its a lot closer if Rice does go (but how much does he play?).

Yeah thats why I can't figure this start out. If Rice is out I would easily start Pierce but I'm just not sure. I think I might just have to wait for tomorrow morning and see if Rice is gonna go or not.

Am I stupid to be seriously considering starting Bilal Powell over CJ2K?

Johnson is obviously more talented, and the Titans are at home, but the Titans are defending the pass really well, but struggling vs the run.

The Jets D is pretty solid all around, so it looks a bad match up for Johnson.

I'm already benching Larry Fitzgerald against the Bucs (and Revis), and I'm just worried that I'm over thinking it a bit and should just play my studs.

Sorry man,  I was dead wrong about Pierce.  Our run game officially has issues.

All good I played Thompkins just one of those gut feelings. Wish we could have won today but the Bengals lost so its all good.

Pick one for my flex position, no-prr.

 

Maurice Jones-Drew

Joique Bell

Kenbrell Thompkins 

 

Bell because GB's D is so horrid.  Also, Hall will probably be back for the NE game.

So hyped that I got Roddy White & Josh Gordon off the waivers. I feel like Roddy will get his first TD against the Jets, but I'm leaning on starting Gordon.

NYJ has a much better secondary than BUF.  Stick with Flash Gordon.

PHI @ NYG

 

OR

 

ATL v. NYJ

 

That's an easy one.  Atlanta at home after they lost last week.  NYJ will be without their two starting WRs and with a rookie QB.  

Philly is one of the worst defenses in the league and they have to go into NY.  Its one thing to start KC in arrowhead against the NYG, but its another to start Philly in NY.

I hope so.  I've been playing him as my WR1 in the NFL.com league and survived.  If I can get Roddy White going, my team will be a lot better.  

 

Still don't know if he'll be that great this week.  But last week's game against NE was very promising.  Still is a bit slow making cuts off that ankle.  But after the Bye, I think he'll be stellar.   

 

I'd go Josh Gordon this week. Though Thursday games are worrisome.

Under (60-70), 1 TD.  

I could live with that. I'll take the over just cause I think he gets 15 carries (detroit gives up 5+ yards a carry)

Who knows. Usually they're low scoring but with the crappy matchup it could be the opposite.

I agree with ya and hope the bye week helps him.

Yea I saw that Detroit was giving up a 5+ ypc average.  I was thinking Lacy would get around 15 carries as well and probably average between 4.0 or 4.5 ypc.

Its just standard deviation. 10-20 yards over/under is within the reasonable range.

Willis McGahee Over/Under 60 yards and a TD?

 

Another guy that will probably get 15-18 touches against a team not very good against the run (accept when they played the Ravens). 60 yards and a TD seem like the most plausible stat line.  

 

If McGahee gets that, as a owner, I'm happy.

Bye week and injuries are forcing him to fill in for me. I also like that he is dirt cheap for fanduel. I agree that it seems like a plausible stat line.

Pick 1 of 2 combinations. Which scores more this week?

 

Jordan Cameron + Willis McGahee both at home vs Buffalo

 

Or

 

Jordan Cook (vs Jax) + Giovani Bernard (at home vs NE)
