Murray or Hardesty for this week?
[/quote]

Hardesy because he's more reliable than Murray, whom we've seen little of.

Hillis bad, Battle good! Hillis hasn't done anything this year and Battle's going to have a big day agains the poor Raiders' D.
[/quote]

Alright. I didnt even notice that Hillis hasnt done anything at all till you said something....i dropped him and picked up Battle. Thanks!

Well, Murray does have the better matchup, facing the Rams. I wouldn't start either player if I didn't have to, as they're both pretty unknown.

Yeah, but Murray is a back-up who played against the atrocious Rams' D at home. Foster had 115 rush yd for 2 TD and 119 rec yd for 1 TD against a decent Titans' D in Tennessee.

The point is Murray's value is limited. If you have him, you should drop him after he plays Philly. After that, Felix Jones will probably be back.

[/quote]

Sure, his value is limited but Felix was originally listed as out for 2-3 weeks. With that in mind, if Murray keeps tearing it up, unlikely but possible, they'll probably give him a chance as the starter given Jones' inconsistent play and history of injuries.

Besides, you get much more joy when you get points from players you least expect to feature down the road..

[bauer77]

this may be a dumb question, but pick one: (and pick one to drop, i gotta pick up a defense)
Ahmad Bradshaw vs. MIA
Jackie Battle vs SD
Darren Sproles vs STL

Defenses (who should i pick up?)
Lions vs. DEN
Texans vs JAC

[theblackdog]

Thinking about dropping Ben Tate (now dropped to 3rd on the Texans Depth Chart) for DeMarco Murray (vs PHL). He's supposed to be getting the start this week since Felix Jones is still out.

Start Sproles

[jus'_crAzy]

Need to start one:

Torrey Smith vs ARI
Demaryius Thomas vs DET
Jabar Gaffney vs BUF

Thanks!

Gaffney vs Buf

Gaffney is the #1 guy and he has been consistent. The Redskins are probably going to have to throw this game. Though I have high hopes of Thomas and Torrey, both are a wait and see approach.

[D-Rey]

Who should I start for Flex

J. Battle vs SD
S. Johnson vs. WAS
J. Maclin vs. DAL

I'm thinking Battle

Battle didn't get the redzone or passing down looks. So I wouldn't be too comfortable using him. Personally I'd go with Maclin. The guy has been pretty consistent and against a pretty good pass rush of the Cowboys, those shorter routes will be all Maclin.

[D-Rey]

Ya the only thing I like about Battle is he rushed for 119 yards (11.9 points) against Indy and 76 yards (7.6 points) against Oakland. The Chargers have been averaging 121 yards (21st) rushing against them. They also are stout against the pass so I expect the Chiefs to run on them. But Maclin has put up some good points and Dallas's pass defense is 16th and have the top rushing defense so the Eagles will likely try to pass alot.. Idk tough choice.

This is an important week because I'm against the last undefeated guy (I was the second to last one) and I'm second in the league. And he has been talking alot lol.

[bauer77]

So i just found out someone had a pending waiver request ahead of me, and i wasnt able to pick up Sproles. So who should i start now?


Ahmad Bradshaw vs MIA
Jackie Battle vs SD

Bradshaw. He'll get work in the pass game and some redzone. Battle is battling to do that.

Not that its that big of a deal, but do you think the Lions defense is ok against Denver? Or should i pick up the Bengals against the Seahawks?

Both are good plays. Might rather have the Bengals since the Seahawks won't put up a ton of points. Denver is still an enigma offensively. But the Lions DL should get some pressure on Tebow and with the way he threw last week they might get some picks.

Ok so one more question xD

Stafford vs DEN or Newton vs. MIN

Was gonna go with Stafford since he should be playing, and Denver has allowed the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing QBs.

I'd go Cam Newton. Stafford is banged up and Newton is a dual threat.

The cat (Cincinatti, #1 D) is going to eat the canary (Seattle, toilet-bowl O)! I picked them up this week and I would advise you do the same. Coincidentally, I also have the Lions' D.
Brownie points if you get the metaphor.

Newton because he has more rush TDs than 20 NFL teams' offenses! Besides, Stafford has a high ankle sprain.
BTW, are you my twin? We both have Newton, Stafford, DET and you're about to get CIN too!

Start Bradshaw cut Sproles for the Texans if you're only concerned with Week 8, or Detroit if you want a dependable defense.
