Hey guys I have wetbrook out. I started Bernard Scott, but now benson is playing. Would cadillac be a better choice against the falcons? I’m in a three way tie for first with one week left!
nevermind,Benson is ruled out. Go B.Scott!
Gentlemen,
I overheard a commentator state that should Payton Manning get ahead in the next few games, that they would probably take him out of the game to rest him.
Should I be worried going into the playoffs, considering that I only have him as my quarter back?
I'm in an 8 man regular scoring league, currently 9-3, and would very much like to win the whole thing
Let me know waht you guys think, should I pick up another QB or let it ride?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.
Thanks!
Oh ya the coach has said they will rest key players once they lock home field advantage.
which 2 WR's should I play out of: Burleson(vs SF), Maclin(@Atl), Hines(vs Oak), Manningham(vs Dal)
which RB should I play at flex: Grant(vs Bal) or Slaton(@Jac)
Burleson had a poor outing against SF earlier this year ( 4 for 46 ) and Manningham is still dealing with a bad shoulder ( the same one he injured earlier this year ) so I would go with Maclin who should see a lot of downfeild targets with all the focus probably being put on McCoy and Celek from ATL and Hines Ward should have a great game since he will be in make up mode.
Check out the complete list if you'd like:
http://top-fantasy-football.com/ffb-rankings/week...
Hope this helps!
I agree with Ray on the WR stuff.Try Slaton out in the flex.Kurt
Vikes V. Ari
Bengals V. Det
Everyones saying Vikes is the better pick what y'all think
Also what RB's should i play pick 2
P. Thomas NO V. Was
Ray Rice Bal V. GB
Jamaal Charles KC V. Den
Mike Bell NO V. Was
Rock Cartwright Was V. NO
I have the option to start 3wr's and 1 RB. Ray Rice is a must start and so are Vincent Jackson and Andre Johnson. So I must choose between Ryan Grant vs Bal and Sidney Rice vs Arz. 10 yrds=1pt and TD=6pt
Thanks for the help
Start Rice versus Arz weak pass defense
standard scoring, gotta pick two WR's to start
Ochocinco vs. DET
Colston vs. WAS
Sydney Rice vs. ARI
Should I start K. Warner or Alex Smith?
Smith is a sleeper and Warner is in a \”big game\” where is could do damage. I view Warner as high risk high reward and Smith as a safer bet with lower reward. I think I'd go with the upside and watch Warners status. Select his name in your user profile and we will send you updates as they are released by the AP.

Sidney Rice hands down!
1 more thing to add I also Jonathan Stewart vs TB instead?
Steward will get a healthy work load.. but he is platooning it.
Just found out that Slaton is out this week with a previously undisclosed shoulder injury. I dropped Moats last week. Should I pick him back up? If he's unavailable, who should be my RB?
Norwood vs. Philly
Fitzgerald vs DET or
Cartwright vs NO
Standard scoring with PPR. Thanks!
Well, the Jags are pretty good against the run ( 10th ) and Houston should pass more since the Jags can't defend against the pass. Chris Brown is acutally the starter over Ryan Moats though. I don't know who your refereing to when you say Fitzgerald vs. DET either…could you be more specific?
If I had to choose from your list, Norwood is the best ya got here. he's not a great option, but he's better than Cartwright…hgope this helps! And get back to me about who you meant by Fitzgerald.
So sorry – was looking at my opponent's roster and mine at same time. I have Larry Johnson as my other RB against DET this week. Better option than Norwood?
No I don't think so; I can't see him with many touches or chances for scoring since benson is good to go.
Felix Jones or Chris Brown?
Felix Jones all day!
Standard scoring.
Jennings vs BAL or Mason vs GB?
I personally ranked jennings 3 spots higher than Mason this week in my WR column
http://top-fantasy-football.com/ffb-rankings/week...
Green Bay just simply has the better defense.
Ok guys, last week. three way tie for first,who should I start.
Beanie vs Vikings
Cadillac vs Panthers
Thanks in advance!!!!!
WOW.. I'm going with Cadillac as Tampa will be on the field a good bit more than the Panthers. Good luck bro
Gentlemen,
Need some advice start sit advice for the playoffs, and since I will be away from a computer for a few days, I need to set my line up today…
im going up agains people with far better teams, so your help is appreciated!
Manning – Vs DEN
V. Young – Vs STL
B. Wells (ARI) – Vs SF
F. Jackson (BUF) – VS KC
S. Greene (NYJ) – VS TB
S. Slaton – VS SEA
Sims – Walker – VS MIA
R.Wayne – VS DEN
A.Collie – VS DEN
S. Smith (CAR) – VS NE
R. White – VS NO
D. Keller – VS TB
K. Winslow VS NYJ
Regular scoring!
Maybe I can at least get 3rd place with some help lol!
Again, thanks!!
Guys, trying to pick up Garcon, and Jonathan Stewart, dropping Collie, and S. Greene….
Hey Mark,
Manning vs. Denver is far better than Young vs. the Rams since the Titans will undoubtedly run the ball first.
I like a healthy fred jackson along with Stewart if you can get him.
Sims-Walker and Collie ( with White as a thrid WR if you have a spot ) along with Winslow at TE vs. the Jets.
Thanks for the help through out the season Ray04, and TOP!!
IF Manning get sat in week 15 (my league is only going to 15 for playoffs) would it be best to start say Flacco that week?
Not sure I will make it that far but if i do.
Thank you again!
Your quite welcome mark, and thank you for your patronage and continued support.
I think Flacco is safe to start since they are in a playoff fight till the end. For more on Flacco, check out Tab's piece:
http://top-fantasy-football.com/ffb-rankings/fant...
Guys,
Luckily I was able to jump on here really quickly, and I re read the QB piece by Tab…..
Would you guys really start Joe Flacco the next 2 weeks, over Payton Manning?
I have both of them currently, and I am in the playoffs my first time playing FF.
Should I bench Manning in favor of Flacco for the next 2 games of the season, and will he give me a btter chance of winning in the playoffs?
Thanks
Flacco has nice matchups (minus Oakland) for the rest of the ride. Manning only "easy matchup" is Jacksonville so… I'd start Flacco
eagles D vs giants or saints D vs falcons? I've played the saints the last 2 weeks and it turned out to be the wrong choice. thoughts?
I like the Eagles D.
I like the Eagles D.
Guys,
Picked up Flacco, the question is now….. start Flacco VS DET, or P. Manning VS DEN?
Thanks.!
Flacco against the crappy Lions coverage is better than Manning against the 5th ranked Broncos in my book.
WR's..
Who is the better start out of these guys…..Sims – Walker VS MIA, R. WHITE VS NO, Meachem VS ATL, or Reggie Wayne VS DEN?
Need 3.
Thanks again!
Actuall, here is the real question….
R. Wayne VS DEN, Garcon VS DEN, Sims-Walker VS MIA, Meachem VS ATL, or R. White VS NO?
I need 3 please.
Thanks!
Standard scoring league:
Need one more RB to start along side MJD:
Donald Brown vs. DEN
Leonard Weaver vs. NYG
Chester Taylor vs. CIN
Jason Snelling vs. NOR
I also need to pick two WR's to start:
Colston vs. ATL
Sydney Rice vs CIN
Ochocinco vs MIN
Thanks for the help
Leonard Weaver vs. NYG and Colston vs. ATL and Ochocinco vs MIN are the best options.
Need some advise for WR position….
R. Meachem VS ATL
R. Wayne VS DEN
P. Garcon VS DEN
Mike Sims-Walker
or R. White VS NO
I need 3.
Thanks.
MSW VS MIA.
Regular scoring…
very nice WR core! I dont like Wayne adn Garcon vs Denver, they rank 5th against the pass and will try to control the clock on the ground.
Sims-Walker listed as Doubtful. I guess you have to go Meachem & White in this one- Redman likes to throw to White a lot, and Meachem has 1+ TDs over the last 4(or is it only 3?) weeks.
Meachem & White are both excellent choices
I need a win to make the playoffs. It is a point per reception league. 1 pt for 10 yds rushing. My RB situation is this. I had Slaton, he is out. I am starting T. Jones, but my choices at the other running back are: J. Jones vs. Hou, Rock Cartright vs Oakland. Two people I thought about picking up are: J. Harrison vs Pitt or Chris Brown or Ryan Moats vs Seattle. Quintin Ganther vs Oak, Sammy Morris vs Car, Norwood vs NO are also available. Other than that, there isn't much to choose from. Please help.
This is a deifficult one. The one thing for sure is Ganther…he is an absolute must.
Norwood admitted he is not 100%
Jones will split carries with Forsett going forward limiting his output
The Pats don't use their running game effectively enough to produce points
Harrison against Pittsburgh could be an option but in the end I would go with Chris Brown as your other starter.
Round 1 of the playoffs in both leagues.
Schaub v SEA or Brady v CAR? Applies to both leagues.
McCoy @NYG or Charles v BUF?
Ocho @ MIN or Austin v SD?
Schaub v SEA – heck ya – SEA is ranked about 24th against the pass
Charles v BUF is sweet indeed.. Buffalo like to keep the games close they protect the pass.. not the run.
Ocho @ MIN is sweet but keep an eye on his heel.. he should be fine though..
Good luck man
Alright guys, Playoff time!! I'm felling the wrath of Westbrook. Here's who I have………
Beannie vs. 49ers
Caddilac vs. Jets
Fargas vs. Redskins
Is Ganther worth picking up? If not who would you start?
Thanks as always!!
Ganther will be the feature back for the Skins against a poor Oakland Run D. I like him at least in this spot. After that- I'd lean to Caddy, TB needs to get back to a strong running attack if they want to win more games.
RB question – Wells VS SF, Brandon Jacobs VS PHI, or J. Stewart (CAR) VS NE
Flex – R. Wayne, P. Garcon, or perhaps one of the RB's I have mentioned above. That is, if MSW doesn't play this Sunday.
Regular scoring.
I would go with Jacobs and Wayne. MSW is pretty much a no go and Wayne wants a perfect season.
Standard League – need 2 RBs Weaver vs NYG, Ganther vs OAK, Forte vs GB and Morris vs CAR; planned to go with Ganther and Weaver but wanted your insight.
Need 2 more to go with Mason vs DET at WR. Jennings vs CHI, Marshall vs IN or Maclin vs NYG. Of the 3, who would you bench?
I think Weaver and Ganther are great starts. Mason vs. the Lions is far better than all the rest of your options.
Good Luck this week man!
Playoffs! Need to decide between Schaub vs SEA or Flacco vs DET. Flacco has been disappointing in recent weeks but a great match-up and Schaub is coming off an injury, but more consistent this season. Any advice? Standard scoring. Thanks!
Schaub for sure since he has more quality targets to choose from than Flacco does giving you a better chance for scores in a Standard league, plus Seattle is horrible against the pass.
should I start Matt Schaub vs. Seattle or David Garrad vs. Miami? Should I start Jamaal Charles vs.Buf or Adrian Peterson vs. Cin.? Standard Scoring
Schaub is a much better start than the erratic Garrad who proboly will be without Mike Sims-Walker.
Peterson is a no brainer especially over Jamal Charles.
Flex position: should L play Grant (@ Pitt) or pick up Mo Morris (vs ARI) or Harris/Jennings (@KC) off the waiver wire?
or pick up Arian Foster?
Man I'm seriously considering starting Arian Foster over Mendenhall this week. If he is on your roster I think he is the best bet out of all your backs this week.
I have Mendenhall AND Grant. I picked up Foster so I'm thinking about starting him in place of one of those 2 but now I'm not sure which one!
PPR League
Please choose 2 RB's, 2 WR's, and 1 Flex
Ray Rice, Bal RB V. Chi
Jamaal Charles, KC RB V. Cle
P. Thomas, NO RB V. Dal
Mike Bell, NO RB V. Dal
Sidney Rice, Min WR V. Car
Randy Moss, NE WR V. Buf'
Calvin Johnson, Det WR V. Ari
Hines Ward, Pit WR V. GB
Is Randy Moss going to have 0 points again?
Start
Ray Rice, Bal RB V. Chi
Jamaal Charles, KC RB V. Cle
Randy Moss, NE WR V. Buf'
Calvin Johnson, Det WR V. Ari
Flex
P. Thomas, NO RB V. Dal
What Kicker is the best choice??? G Hartley NO V. Dal or Matt Stover Ind V. Jac?
G Hartley is medium risk high reward.
Stover should put up 3 or 4 xpt and maybe one field goal.
Start Sit Advice.
Do I pick up Josh Cribbs vs. Buffalo or TJ Houshmanzadeh vs. Tampa Bay. Points for after 5 catches, over 100 yards, and TDs
TJ Houshmanzadeh vs. Tampa Bay is a great play especially since Burleson should be out
PPR league
Have to start 2.
Bowe vs. Cleveland, T.O. vs New England, Steve Smith Carolina vs. Minn, Roy Williams vs. New Orleans
Im in the playoffs and with the Bowe suspension over this decision is so much harder to make.
Thank you
Roy Williams vs. New Orleans
Steve Smith Carolina vs. Minn
Bowe is a great start over Roy and Smith but keep your eye on him and his news status after practices.. add him to your dominator configuration
You guys said i should play
Start
Ray Rice, Bal RB V. Chi
Jamaal Charles, KC RB V. Cle
Randy Moss, NE WR V. Buf'
Calvin Johnson, Det WR V. Ari
Flex
P. Thomas, NO RB V. Dal
I just picked up Arian Foster Hou RB V. StL… Should i still play my current the above roster???
I'd flex Arian Foster over P. Thomas
PPR League
In the finals, please choose 2 WRs & 1 Flex
Randy Moss, NE WR @ Buf
Miles Austin, Dal WR @ NO
Derrick Mason, Bal WR vs Chi
Robbert Meachem, NO WR vs Dal
Hines Ward, Pit WR vs GB
Beanie Wells, Ari RB @ Det
Arian Foster, Hou RB @ Stl
Arian Foster, Hou RB @ Stl
Miles Austin, Dal WR @ NO
Robbert Meachem, NO WR vs Dal
Josh Cribbs, Kenny Britt, or Michael Crabtree?
Everyone seems to think Cribbs is getting a shot at RB this week…hmmm….
Britt in Miami is finger licking good. Cribbs has always been feast or famine
With Bowe's suspension over, I'm having a difficult time deciding my WR this week. Standard scoring w/ bonus,1 pt per 3 receptions; My no brainer is Marshall vs OAK, then I have:
Jennings vs PIT
Mason vs CHI and
Bowe vs CLE.
Which 2 would you add to Marshall?
Thanks!
Mason is a great start as well as Bowe against Cleveland. jennings has been a bit dissapointing this year , and is dealing with some minor injuries that seem to have slowed him down.
Hey guys need some help. Playing for the money. I am in a league where TD’s are big time. RB and WR get points for going over 100 yards, and WR only get 1 point per reception over 5.
I need to start 2 of these RB’s
Pierre Thomas vs. TB
Fred Jackson vs. ATL
Ryan Grant vs. SEA
I need to start 3 of these WR
Dallas Clark vs. NYJ
Randy Moss vs. JAX
Roddy White vs. BUF
TJ Houshmenzadeh vs. GB
Please everyones help is greatly appreciated and much needed.
Do I start Ricky Williams home against HOU, Jones Drew at New England, Ahmad Bradshaw vs Carolina or Snelling vs Buffalo? I need three, Standard scoring (non ppr). Thanks fellas.
Colston and Rice over a warm Garlic Sauce
Save Ochocinco for another rainy day…especially since he was dealing with a mysterious knee injury this week that nobody seems to know much about.
