Fantasy Football Start Sit Weekly Advice
Posted by Kurt on Oct 19, 2009 in Fantasy Football
You're not the only one that needs help.
We love giving fantasy football start sit advice. Since week 1 we have been giving start sit help to our readers and to be honest it has been fun and fulfilling. In week 6 we have over 200 start’em sit’em question and answers. Not all of our start/sit tips work out for the best but hey no one can predict the future, especially when it comes to the NFL and fantasy football. So bookmark this page and come here anytime to ask for help with your fantasy football team. I don’t care if it’s week 7, week 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 we will be here to help you!
Some simple things we ask of you here in our start sit question and answer forum.
- Do not list your entire roster and ask us who to start or sit. We can’t help you if you don’t first help yourself. Please limit the question to one or two positions.
- Ask your start sit question in this format: Player name, opponent and point configuration. An example: Should I start Aaron Rogers versus the Bears or Brady versus Detroit? Standard scoring. Another Example: Should I start Welker versus Baltimore or Fitz versus Seattle? PPR scoring. Try to keep the start sit question clear and to the point. It also helps to list your players opponent and your scoring format.
- Start or sit questions and answers can be answered by anyone here so if you have the clear path to the correct answer please speak up and post your comment!
- If you ask a start sit or trade advice question please help spread the word about top fantasy football. Post a link to us in your fantasy football forum or league message board. The more we grow the better we can service you.

joeizgodtou – posted the below questions right as I was deleting all the old start sit questions and answers. – so here he Joe's question along with my start sit answer.
"GUYS QUICK!! I have an emergency pick! Like an idiot i sat ray rice yesterday and started LT in my flex spot. Now Im losing by 18 points. I have Eddie Royal i can put in place of him. Should I keep LT in that flex spot or put in Eddie Royal? Im thinking I should take out LT and put in Eddie Royal, what do you guys think?"
I say start LT as he could pull off 2 TD's – as a RB he will touch the ball more and have more opportunities to make it happen for you!
Royal is a good start but I don't think he stands a chance to get you 18 points, not with Brandon Marshall getting all the TD love and the Bronco's top rated rushing attack getting plenty of goal line work.
I can't remember what I originally told you, but I agree with Kurt, out of the two L.T. has a better chance of giving you 18 points than Royal.
last week he posted 19 points in my league
Sorry I didn't see your response Ray or I would have added it =)
but you are right i dont know what im thinkin, i want to beat this guy so bad you have no idea, thanks for the advice guys
man Royal is going off tonight. Does your league pay off punt return yards? I'm pulling for you man! RUN LT RUN!!
Miles Austin and Austin Collie are both available in my league, should I dump Coffee for one of them? I am already pretty good with receivers: Andre Johnson, Fitz and just picked up Crabtree. I am not too good on running backs though. Marshawn Lynch, Coffee, W. McGahee and Hightower. Would anybody recommend pick ups that may still be out there, Like Ricky Williams? Thanks for your help
I would definitly pick up Austin. Last year he was killing in Fantasy before being relegated to the bench. This year he usurped the 3 WR spot away from Crayton so he is obvisouly moving forward in a big way.
Should I start Choice as a flex against ATL, or start Olsen against CIN instead? (standard scoring)… Thanks!
Don't drop Coffee as the rookie should be a RB2 used extensively during fantasy playoff weeks to rest Gore for next season. He might even start in week 7 if Gore isn't fully ready. When A Gonzalez returns, likely week 8, forget about Collie and Garcon. Choice should be getting half of the carriers, since Barber will be slowed for 10 weeks and lacks ability to burst a long play now. They were sorry to overplay him last week and see this, so Choice is a far better option at flex then Olsen who lacks athletic agility to leap up high and make great grabs and focuses on their vertical passing game at TE.
I have to disagree with this one. Choice will no doubt see more playing time as he has earned it, but he is still only good for 15 to 18 carries a game and Barber is still number one inside the 10 which is important for Standard leagues; they won't just simply cut down Barber's workload considering he is the number one guy by performance AND contract. The Bears have already commited to getting Olsen the ball more, and offensive coordinator Ron Turner was quoted as saying 'he could be our top reciever by the end of the year."
Atlanta is ranked 11th against the run and ranked 18th against WR1 18th against WR2 and 11th against WR3 and other; the Cowboys are looking to pass in this one.
i have pierre thomas, tomlinson, westbrook, t. choice, and l. mccoy and 2 open rb spots and a flex. which 3 should i go with
You don't have any WR available for flex? If not, L.T vs. a horrid KC defense and both Eagles back against Washington.
,
I would go with Thomas, Tomlinson and Westbrook, I know that there has been some disappointment with those players, but your best chance for production might be them for another week. Hopefully Tomlinson does something for your lineup, he has been terrible so far but has the potential for a big game against KC.
Which 3 RB's should I play out of these 4: (Mendenall vs Minn), (Gore vs Hou), (Slaton vs SF)and (Grant vs Cle)?
Gore since he's had 2 weeks to prep for them and they have bad run D. Grant cuz the browns suck. Slaton just because Mendenhall is no Ray Rice and Big Ben has been pass happy as of late.
Grant vs. a weak Cleveland D is a great start. Slanton has finally found his mojo making him a good start vs. Hou and Gore definitlely, he is good to go and reeling at the chance.
Olsen or V. Davis as my TE this week?
I would ride the hot-hand of Davis, he is the main target in the passing-game, I can't say the same for Olsen.
RB Question:
I have Barber and Choice (v ATL), T Jones (OAK) and Sammie Morris (TB) and am not sure which two to start.
I’d love to use Morris with the TB match-up but injury news is always fuzzy out of New England so that’ll probably have to be a game time decision.
Jones has been great lately but I’m wondering if this is the week it’ll stop – although an Oakland match-up is also pretty tasty.
Barber or Choice. I’m waiting for Barber to have that breakout game since returning, do you all think this will be the week? Choice has been such a great option. I’m also monitoring the return of Felix Jones which would certainly change things.
Thanks!
How can you NOT start Thomas Jones man??? Guy killed it last week and goes against one of the worst teams in the league. Jets are scaling back the throwing offense cuz Sanchez sucks so they will be running first. Also, they should win by a ton and will need to run out the clock. Jones is the clear favorite
Start Jones and Barber if you want clear-cut roles with opportunity in your lineup, it's not far fetched that your other RB's do something, but I would go with those two.
I need one more WR. Who do i start from: Santonio Holmes, Austin Collie, or Johnny Knox
start Austin Collie
I have to start 2 of the 3. I know its not great, but the byes this week are killing me.
Glen Coffee, Lance Moore, Jeremy Maclin.
Moore and Maclin. gore is back which means Coffee is nothing more than a handcuff at the moment.
Need help for Week 7
RBs – Pick 2 – Westbrook, McCoy, Slaton, Forte, S. Morris
I like Westbrook this week and probably Slaton. Who knows if Forte will show up and the Pats aren't saying anything about Morris.
WRs – Pick 3 – M. Colston, C. Johnson, S. Breaston, H. Nicks, J. Maclin, E. Royal, K. Walter
I'm thinking Colston, Nicks, and Breaston…What do you think?
I think you pretty much got it right man :)
Good mornning gentlemen, Here is my question (s)….
1) Who should I start at TE, Kellen Winslow, or Zak Millar?
2)Who should I start in my Flex, Bernard Berrian, Steve Smith (CAR), or Miles Austin?
Fyi – I have Reggie Wayne and Roddie White as my starting WR.
Thanks!
Sorry guys, I didnt list what type of scoring because I am not sure myself….really new to all of this. I do know it is fox fantasy football…perhaps it is regular scoring.
Winslow and Austin for sure!
Thanks Ray04, I appreciate it!
Addai, Barber or Hightower
Kevin Walter or B. Berrian
PPR league ….Thanks
I like Addia and Hightower for PPR – Hightower, as you know, is a PPR god so far. Plug him in!
Start Addai and Berrian.
should i start Thomas Jones and/or Leon Washington at Oakland, M. Turner at DAL or C. Williams at NE. I have two RB slots and a WR/RB flex that i could use to start Pierre Garcon at StL instead of a third back.
Basically, are Turner and WIlliams washed up and is it a bad idea to start the Jets RBBC together?
Standard Scoring.
Thank
I like the Jets RBBC since Oakland is so bad.
I would not say Turner and Williams are washed up.. just not in the best situation right now. But Turner is on pace for 20 TD's this year so you need to start him and Jones.
Sorry for the double post…just noticed something…i already own Garcon in my standard scoring league, but i notice Collie is on the wire…stay with garcon or pick up collie instead?
Guys, I am being forced to start Mark Sanchez, I need to make sure everything else goes smoothly
First question should I start Pierre Thomas (Saints), vs the tough run defense of the Dolphins (and Mike Bell may continue to steal carries) or the underachieving Larry Johnson (Chiefs) vs the weak run defense of the San Diego Chargers?
Secondly, I know I must start Marques Colston, But should I go with Steve Breaston (Cardinals) vs the New York Giants, Roy Williams (Cowboys) vs the Atlanta Falcons, Austin Collie (Colts) vs the St. Louis Rams, or Hakeem Nicks (Giants) vs. the Arizona Cardinals for my last two spots?
Standard Scoring
man I like Steve Breaston and Collie -
Steve Breaston is the real deal and Boldin might not even start (injury) which makes Steve Breaston even better.
I would pick up Collie, his production is slightly better in yards ( 228 to 216 ) and TDs (3 to 2 )
I would start L.J. since Bell took over for goaline scores making Thomas not that worthy in Standard leagues this week against the Dolphins wo are ranked third.
I would definitly go with Williams and Collie as your other two recievers.
I need one more WR. Who do i start from: Santonio Holmes (MN), Austin Collie (STL), or Johnny Knox (CIN)
Guys,
One more question…. Who should I start at RB – S. Slaton (SF) / Donald Brown (Stl) / or LT (KC)?
Regular scoring I guess.
Thanks!!
Ok my R Rice us on bye so should I play P. Thomas NO and Mike Bell NO vs MIA or go to wavier I seen J Harrison CLE vs GB and K Faulk NE vs TB or keep who I have
Also what D should I play Vikes vs Pit or Bills vs Car. Thx
NO is a huge rotation but I still like P. Thomas over your other options.
Play the Bills!
Start Austin Collie all day! He has been producing and that should not change.
Start LT versus KC
Slaton is second runner up
then Brown
But they all have a good chance to hit pay dirt.
should i start Dwayne Bowe or Jerrico Cotchery saying cotchery is healthy ?
start Dwayne Bowe are you kidding me? Cassel is on fire!
Gentleman, I have: Colston, G.Jennings, A. Collie, Dallas Clark, and Owen Daniels. I need to start 3 in a TD–only league. Thanks
Oops, I forgot to put the opponents in my first question: Colston vs (Mia) G. Jennings vs (Cle) A. Collie vs (St L) Dallas Clark vs (St L) or Owen Daniels vs (SF) TD–only league Start 3 of these.
Should I drop Dustin Keller to pick up Zach Miller (Oak)? I have K. Winslow and on his bye week, WK8, Miller plays the Chargers, who have been fairly generous to TE's…but what about the rest of the schedule?
Wow that's a nice list!
In this order:
Colston
Daniels
Clark
Collie
Jennings
start Colston
Daniels
Clark
man I'd like you to hold onto Keller. If you drop him someone else might snag him up. So far he has 32 targets.. check this list out it may help you http://top-fantasy-football.com/ffb-advice/week-7…
Ya man it's hurt but he will most likely play versus a mouth watering Bills.
Check it out before the game to be sure and start Lynch if you have to… he isn't a bad option anyways.
sign up for our fantasy football service and you can be notified as soon as ANY news updates come out about any nfl play you want.. in this case you would watch Stewart by adding his name in your profile when you sign up.. you can choose 20 players and change them anytime.
http://top-fantasy-football.com/dominator-service…
I like Rice so start him.. it will be a gun show!
I also like Slaton as a PPR play in SF so start him.
http://top-fantasy-football.com/dominator-service…
do that trade.. you have plenty of RB and need WR.. Do it!
http://top-fantasy-football.com/dominator-service…
Start Romo in ATL – ATL will be without their starting DB
http://top-fantasy-football.com/dominator-service…
Forte has done anything for us so fr this year
stewart could be limited since he is hurt a little
so roll with Jennings
http://top-fantasy-football.com/dominator-service…
PPR League….Addai or Bradshaw in the flex. thanks!
sorry we missed you man.. hit us earlier if you can next week.
Should I start Ronnie Brown VS New Orleans or go with Marshawn Lynch VS Carolina
Sorry I forgot ot add this a ppr league
I need to start 2 RBs (.5 ppr). I have R. Mendehall, P. Thomas and L. Maroney.
Also, my WRs are on a bye, so I need to decide between T. Owens or M. Mohamed.
Thanks for your help!!!
Thinking of picking up Anthony Gonzalez while he's still on the wire for my standard league. I believe he's due to return week 8 or 9. I'm heavy on RB so wondering if I should give up Michael Bush, Felix Jones, or new addition Ahman Green, will need one to fill in for Slaton in week 10. (my other RB is Forte). Appreciate your thoughts.
YES! Pick up Gonzo and I would drop Jones. Hope this helps.
Gonzalez has Peyton Manning tossing him the pigskin, need I say more? He is an immediate upgrade once he comes back and no doubt will return as the starter in a high-flying potent offense. Gonzalez is owned less than 40 percent of fantasy leagues and is easily the biggest wavier wire stud available. Plant that seed now by adding him to your roster and you’ll have a stud come Week 9.
Is it time to consider dumping Portis for Greene or McCoy? I love McCoy's situation. Portis, apart from one or two weeks has been a total bust, bye-week filler. Also, how about Jacobs? Hang on to him or let him go?
IMO this situation depends on the RB situation on your team. Also I always try to make trades where I give someone value and depth and in return I get one complete upside. Lets say you need a strong WR. So with players like McCoy, Greene, and Portis find someone who needs a RB. Then offer them the value RB and a value WR for the one stud WR.
McCoy owners of course need to sell now to Westbrook owners for the most upside.
Greene is staying on my team as Jones could get hurt at any point and Greene has way to much upside as you can actually start him now in the best running back by comity in the NFL.
Portis is a must sell. Who knows if Washington will turn around but right now I DONT SEE IT.
I'm solid at RB. Not great, but solid. Currently on the roster: Johnson, Rice, Brown, Jacobs, Portis and Caddy. WR: Roddy, Austin, Driver, Harvin, Nicks, Mason, Devery.
I'd love to be able to pack together McCoy and Caddy or Portis to tear Welker away from my league's current Westbrook owner(I've got Brady and Schaub), but I can't see it happening. Might just sit with what I have.
Gentlemen,
Week 8 question as far as starting running backs are concerned…..
Should I be starting Beanie Wells Vs. CAR / Kevin Smith Vs. STL / Steve Slaton Vs. BUF / LT Vs OAK / or Tashard Choice Vs. SEA?
I need 2 to start.
Regular scoring.
Thanks!!
Kevin Smith and Steve Slaton both have very good matchups.
I think Slaton is a better play maker but Smith seems to find the enzone more often.. seeing as how the Bills have such a strong pass defense I'd say do with Slayton. He will catch more underneath passes and should break a big one with all the touches he will be seeing. I always start the player with the most upside.
LT is another good option here but is a risky play..
should i try to trade for vernon davis and give up witten?
it all depends on the schedule
I appologize my son put a toy on the keyboard.
I hate when that happens
Of the following 4 what ONE player should Bench??? Deshaun Jackson, Devin Hester, Owen Daniels and Sims-Walker
Bench Hester as DJ did indeed practice today
I need another WR and Jerricho Cottrey and Jeremy Maclin are available on the waiver wires. Which one should I go for?
Jeremy Maclin is in a pass happy offense and DJ has foot issues
Should I start Tony Romo or Matt Schaub?
Schaub going against a good Bill secondary, away, with a questionable Johnson but reliable Olsen. Weather Factoring also
or Romo, At home vs. a bad team and coming off a great game? Miles Austin also emerging as a go to.
I guess it is win win. I just want the better
Romo all day.. Schaub versus Bills equals a bad day
I'm struggling to figure out if I should start Tim Hightower over Felix Jones for my RB 3 slot. We're in a 14 team league. I just don't feel like I can trust Hightower and feel Jones is going to make a good showing.
Tim Hightower plays Carolina – ESPN projections and SI.com project approximately 11 points
Felix Jones plays Seattle – ESPN and SI.com project approximately 7-8 points
Your site is great and your help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to choose the lesser of two evils. Hightower is losing carries to Beanie, who is slowly developing into a threat. Felix is still playing like he's banged up, and is experiencing what Derrick Ward did last year in a three back rotation. Some nights he's primed to go off, but won't get the ball very often because Barber and Choice will be firing on all cylinders.
If I were picking for my team, I'd give Hightower a slight edge because Beanie is likely to cough it up a time or two, and I don't think Wisenhunt trusts him on the goal line for that reason. This is purely a gut call. Go with your first instinct.
I agree with Tygr20.
Also always go with your gut and never look back. Works for me.
Kurt Warner or Kyle Orton?
My league's scoring: 2 points per 100yd passing and 10 points for 300yds and the usual 6 points per TD (it really sucks in my opinion, but it saved me last week when I was up against Drew Brees and he got 298yds).
Kyle Orton is projected for more points than Warner this week but man it's hard to Bench Warner. My gut says start Orton.. Baltimore isn't so tough through the air.
I would go with Warner against Carolina. I really don't see Orton getting 300 yards on Baltimore. I could be biased since I'm a Ravens fan, but mark my words, coming off their bye, Bmore will have something planned for Denver.
I agree.. hey next time reply to them by clicking the reply button directly under there question.. this ensures they see it.
I was just offered Welker for Jacobs and Devery. Should I pull the trigger?
Hell ya man! You must need WR and already have RB
would you do this trade? 12 man/non ppr/no flex position
i get: calvin johnson, gates, and barber or pierre thomas
he gets: steve smith/nyg, witten, and deangelo williams
my rb is benson (only start 1 rb)
my wrs are r white and welker (only start 2 wrs)
i kinda like it because i upgrade my te slightly and steve smith is slipping lately. only thing is if benson starts to fall off i take a hit with barber or pierre thomas.
YES YES YES!! I like that one for the same reasons you do. Benson won't fall off and Barber is still the man.. give him a couple more weeks
so you would rather have barber over pierre thomas?
Have a question about a flex position. Scoring is 10yrds=1pt, 6pts for TD + KR and PR TD's also 6pt
Have to start 1 Malcolm Floyd vs. Oak, Hightower vs Car (already starting Beanie wells) or James Jones vs MN
Could pick up Crayton vs. Sea, Washington vs Jax or my wild card would be Mike Thomas against those crappy Titans. I have lame duck Kevin Faulk on my bench so I wouldn't have to drop any of those guys.
Thanks for your help!
Mike Thomas is a nice flex!
I like HIghtower against Car
Walker is money this week start him.
Cant answer other questions unless I know if you're PPR or not…
If you're PPR role with Slayton – if not start CJ
Trade the RB with the toughest schedule during the playoffs =)
PPR league
Berrian stays on your bench.
Bench Barber this week
Jets D
support us and buy the dominator =)
Standard Leauge
Which Denfense should I start
Vikes V. GB
Bills V. Hou
SeaHawks V. Dal
Vikes V. GB – Rodgers will get sacked over and over and over again. Green will play and he will fumble right after he tears his quad, mcl and acl just because he planted his foot to run.
TE: Greg olsen or Vernon davis?
QB: Garrard or Warner?
RBWR: Andre Johnson, Kenny Britt, or Braylon Edwards or Shonn Greene? (I have thomas jones as my RB already)
any advice would be greatly appreciated
TE: Vernon davis is looking really good now with Smith
QB: Garrard THIS week
RBWR: Andre Johnson or Greene – AJ is you're PPR
16 team PPR. Can use flex with RB, WR or TE. Have LT( raiders), Hightower( panthers) and Julius Jones(cowboys). Also, Jennings(Viks), Royal(Ravens), Bryant Johnson(Rams), Earl Bennett( Browns), Danny Amendola(Lions).
Should I start 2 RBS and 4 WRs ( if so, who??) OR 3 RBs and 3 WRs (if so who??)
Thanks for any and all help
start Hightower since he will get the most touches in that group this week. LT is another good option but my gut is starting to pull away from him more and more each week. Royal and Jennings are your strongest WR's.
TE: Greg olsen or Vernon davis?
QB: Garrard or Warner?
RBWR: Andre Johnson, Kenny Britt, or Braylon Edwards or Shonn Greene? (I have thomas jones as my RB already)
any advice would be greatly appreciated
start
Davis (stud now for sure)
Garrard (should get you 3 td easy)
I like Johnson but he is a small risk.. so put Greene in and you're a lock to score a TD with Jones or Greene or maybe both
Need some help… I have Andre Johnson and am wondering if I should bench him with his injury. I could put in an extra rb in his place, but am not sure which ones to start any ways. I have Beanie Wells vs: Carolina, Ricky Williams vs. NYJ, Marshawn Lynch vs. Houston, Shonne Greene vs. Miami. I could start three of them in place of Andre. Standard League 1pt. per 10yds. rushing/recieving. 6pts. TDs. Oh and I could grab Hightower if it makes sense. Thanks a ton!
start Marshawn Lynch all day man!
I dunno about that. Lynch is averaging 2.8 yards all season, struggeled against Cleveland of all teams, stuggeled against the Jets, and had trouble locating the gaps against Carolina despite his solo TD and paltry 40 yards, and the Texans are pretty good at stopping the run.
I would go with Wells, IF you sit Johnson, which you shouldn't.
The lung bruise is fine, the stafff and Johnson himself says he is 100% ready to go. he's the number two Fantasy Reciever overall and shouldn't be on your bench unless he is wearing a leg cast, sunglasses, and laying on a stretcher in traction.
I picked up Shonn Greene and LeSean McCoy. Who should i start in place of westbrook? My other RB is S. Jackson? Also, if westbrook does play, is he even worth a shot, or should i stick with one of the rookies?
I need to pick two WRs of Lee Evans vs HOU, Jacoby Jones vs BUF (I get pts for return yards-he avgs around 10 pts a game in my league), or Austin Collie vs SF. I also have Earl Bennet (vs CLE) riding the pine. Sidney Rice is my WR1.
One more question for my other team: Braylon edwards vs MIA, Austin Collie vs SF, or Johnny Knox vs CLE. Already starting Jennings and Burleson.
Thanks you guys are awesome
Greene has a tough matchup and I'd like to see him go hard one more week so start McCoy.
I like Jones this week versus GBY – AND COLLIE is a must start
Standard scoring – start QB Flacco vs DEN or Schaub vs Bills? and TE Olson vs CLE or Lewis vs TEN? Thanks!!!
Im playing Flacco versus Denver believe it or not. The Bills are scary man.. they shut down the pass big time.
I like Olson!
Which 2 WR's should I play out of: Manningham, Burleson & Macklin?
Burleson & Macklin have the most upside, start them
Standard league flex spot:
Lynch or S.Smith (car) ??
I got LT/Sproles/Boldin/Sidney Rice for sure…can't decide on my flex spot..thanks
start Lynch in this one!
start Lynch for sure
Honestly I'd play both and bench Boldin. However, if I had to pick one, I'd go with Lynch.
Hey guys, was wondering if I should start Schaub at Buffalo or Romo at home vs. Seattle. Thanks.
Romo is a better play than Schaub thiss week. Bill's are shutting down QBs!
im torn at the flex position . should i use..
Mike bell at home against atlanta
felix jones at home against seattle
kenny britt vs the jags
which two???
Mike bell at home against atlanta
kenny britt vs the jags
PPR League Which TE should I play
Marcedes Lewis Jac V. Ten
Or
John Carlson Sea V. Dal
I've got to go with Marcedes Lewis
Carlson will be blocking more than catching.
Hey guys. ppr league…. do you like the jets vs miami or the pack vs, vikings. thanks!
pack versus vikings all day baby
Hey guys. Just found out that Westbrook is out. it's a standard league, do you like Cotchery vs Miami or Buchalter aginst Baltimore in the flex. I know lousy choices, but the rest are on byes and no one on the wire!
trade cotchery and buck for 1 better backup to westbrook
I've got an empty roster spot.
RBs are Rice, Chris Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Portis and McCoy.
WRs are Roddy, Welker, Driver, Harvin, Mason, and Nicks.
Only bye player I have left is Nicks- who should I fill that spot with?
Manningham, FJax, Caddy, Mike Wallace, Bowe, Choice, Buckhalter, Bell, or Megatron?
I'm confused. Nicks isn't on a bye, I'm not sure who you're playing or not playing…
Sorry- Nicks is the only WR/RB I have who still has a bye week left(week 10). Everyone else has already been on bye. Whoever I'm picking up, I want for matchup starts only.
MEGATRON! An easy call in my book, as that is the only ELITE player in that group.
PPR Leauge Flex Spot Start
Calvin Johnson Det V. SEA
Jamaal Charles KC V. JAC
Mike Bell NO V. CAR
I love me some Jamaal Charles KC V. JAC – especially since you know he will get several dump offs!
I have a questiong someone may have some insight too…
I went and picked up R. Moats because of the whole S. Slaton situation…….and was wondering, Do I go ahead and start S. Slaton & R. Moats?
Or do I start R. Moats and my other running back not on a bye which is Beanie Wells?
HOU plays IND this week, while ARI plays CHI.
Regular scoring
Thanks!
I like Moats in standard league since he should continue to get goal line.. but man it's really a freaking coin flip!!! we won't know until after the game how the split will work out.
can you trade slayton?
Not sure I can trade him…….there are only 8 of us, and most of us are really anal reteintive when it comes to trades or getting rid of a player lol…there should be a few I can pick up on a waiver but most if not all the good RB's are already taken.
Currently I have Moats, Slaton, Wells, and Greene as my running backs. Any suggestions? lol
Thanks Top!
I have a flex spot that I need to fill. who should I put in it out of: Mendenhall, Slaton, Maclin or Manningham?
I like Mendenhall a lot! He has a nose for the goal line and is on a great team.
I need to choose between three players for one RB position:
Slaton @ Indy
Moats @ Indy
Maroney vs. Miami
What do you think?
Forgot to mention: Standard scoring
You sir get the hardest question of the week award! I would definitely NOT start Maroney…..Slaton will be part of a RBBC but is still a favorite in my book. Wiat for other opinions though, this is a big question :)
Slaton @ Indy
Moats @ Indy
both are a coin flip… I think Slayton has the most promise to explode after getting benched! He will catch more dump off passes as they play from behind too!
Quick question… Maroney (NE) vs. Miami or Ricky Williams (Miami) vs. NE
Ricky Williams
Who should I start along with MJD at RB this week? Standard scoring system.
Ryan Moats vs. IND
Don Brown vs. HOU
Buckhalter vs. PIT
Buckhalter vs. PIT is the best option in this group but none are even close to great! search the wavier wire for better options.
I really appreciate that you guys take the time to give advice to anyone in need. It's always nice to hear a second opinion. Unfortunately, my once-great team has taken some shots lately, so I have lots of questions for week 9 -
1 QB – Big Ben or Cutler
2 RBs – Westbrook, L. McCoy, S. Slaton, M. Bell, M. Forte, J. Charles
3 WRs – Colston, Megatron, Walter, Breaston, Nicks, Maclin
1 TE – Winslow or Fred Davis
Thanks again!
start as follows:
Cutler against ARIZON is nice!
2 RBs – Westbrook, M. Forte, J. Charles all are nice – you didn't state how your league scores so….
3 WRs – Colston, Nicks, Maclin are all good plays
1 TE – Winslow
next time let us know if you're PPR
I agree with Kurt on everything except the WR's. I would start Colston, Maclin and Breaston this week, Breaston should start opposite Fitzgerald this week and everytime Boldin is out this guy has a big game…..I mean, let's face it, teams are going to give Breaston more room to work than Fitzgerald, and we all know the Cards will throw the ball a ton…..although, Nicks is a killer WR! Your in a better spot than most people, because they should all get targeted throughout their respective match-ups, but Manningham should be returning to take some of his looks back.
BIG BEN @ DEN or RIVERS VS. THE BOYS IN BLUE for week 9???
I'd start RIVERS this week. Denvers defense has been doing well.
Eagles D/ST vs Dallas, or Saints D/ST vs the Broncos?
wow stupid, the Saints play Carolina this week. Same question.
Also a relevant note: Romo is my QB, so I'm thinking Saints just so I don't risk them offsetting each other
I'm starting the Saints versus Carolina for sure. Ellie being out and the run defense makes me nervous but Carolina can't move up the field that good/fast and Jake should toss a couple picks.
you mean Ellis.. not Ellie.. just a typo I'm sure!
Start Mike Bell or Celek at Flex? Standard scoring. Need points this week bad!
Also, been offered Calvin Johnson for Sidney Rice. Do I take it? Johnson hasn't done jack since the first 3 weeks while Rice has been golden for me. Worried that Johnson is planning on taking it easy the rest of the season since he knows Detroit isn't going anywhere. What do you think?
Thomas is the clear choice especially at the goaline (not Bell) making him more valuable than bell in Standard league play. brent Celek should continue to have a break out season and shows no signs of slowing down.
Calvin Johnson can't seem to shke his knee injury, and when he comes back there is no garuntee he will be a big time play/ Under no circumstances should you trade Sidney Rice. he is already on the cusp of exceeding his Fantasy projection and you can bet as Favre gets more comfortable with him he will continue to be money for ya!
Hey guys,
Who should I start out in a PPR league:
2 RBs: Cedric Benson, LT, Jamaal Charles
2 WRs: DeSean Jackson, Hines Ward, Steve Smith (NYG), Derrick Mason
1 Flex
Thank you for your time!
I would start benson for sure, amlong with L.T. until we see what Charles has to bring to the table.
I would also start Jackson for sure and Ward.
For a flex I would give Smith the nod
Standard League:
2 RB: LT/Sproles/Maroney
2 WR: Manningham/Boldin/Crabtree/Walter/Floyd
1 RB/WR FLEX
thanks!
Start both Chargers' RBs.
For your WR I would go withCrabtree and Walter with Floyd as your Flex….it sounds odd not to mention Boldin or manningham, but their injuries are making them to risky as each day passes.
Who do I sit? We start 3 running backs in a 10 team league. Our scoring system is 1 point for every 10 yards on the ground, 1 point for every 12 yards receiving, 6 points for TDs and no PPR.
I have to choose between Frank Gore vs. TN, Ray Rice vs. Cincy, Pierre Thomas vs. Carolina, and Matt Forte vs. AZ.
My thought is to sit Forte, but thought I might get someone else's opinion
I think your dead on with your thoughts. Forte is to inconsistent to rely on especially in your setup.
Who should I start
Matt Schaub v. Ind
David Garrard v. KC
Matt Schaub. Indy is very, very tough against the pass but Shcaub is just reeling right now and he has more targets than Garrard! Jacksonville could also go with a more run oriented game lessening the chances of him being a better start than Schaub.
Thanks for all the help dudes, i gotta rough bye and have a few questions:
QB: Shaub vs indy or palmer vs bal?
RB: I need to start two, I have westbrook and mccoy against dallas, Maroney at miami, and i just snagged jamal charles.
WR: already starting Jennings and Burleson, who should be my third: Collie vs HOU, Maclin vs DAL, Malcom floyd at the G-men, or Johnny Knox? (This is in a different league, i have Hightower in a flex spot that i can bench if two of these receivers are likely to blow up this week)
Muchas gracias my friends.
Are you in a Standard league or a PPR. be sure to hit the reply to THIS thread so we get your response bro.
Standard league
I would Start Schaub, Westbrook and McCoy, and maclin
UPDATE TO THE ORGINAL ANSWER I GAVE! Start Charels over Westbrook…he is OUT today vs. Dallas!
I need a RB and A Flex position out of the following Scoring is 10yrds=1pt and 6pt TD not PPR
Hightower &Wells Vs Chi, Charles Vs. Jax, Floyd Vs. NYG, Wallace Vs. Den.
I also have Donald Brown but it looks like he might still be on the mend after he didn't practice today.
Thanks for all your help!
I like Hightower since he leads all RBs with 39 receptions which could help you in the endzone and in yards as well as Floyd vs. the Giants
Standard scoring league
I don't like either of my QB matchups this week. Who would you start? Flacco vs CIN or Schaub vs IND?
I'm also stuck in the RBBC mess with HOU. My RBs are Moats, Slaton and Forte vs ARI. I need to start 2. Any suggestions here? Thanks!
I would start Schaub and for your RBs I would start both Moats and Slaton. Arizona had one bad game against the run but they are still king at stopping it making Forte very risky.
Ok guys, PPR League, Gates vs. Giants or Carlson vs. Lions…. Standard league…Bradshaw vs. Chargers or Cadillac vs. Packers in the flex. As always thanks in advance!
Gates is a must start versus Giants. I'm playing Bradshaw versus the Pack
I'm one of the many that are suffering from then Owen Daniels injury. Who do you like off the wire…. Ben Watson,Kevin Boss,or Spencer Havner(packers)? I know, not very good options!
Watson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Dolphins will be starting two rookie corners this week, an area the Patriots are likely to target in the passing game this weekend so I cant say Watson. Havner is the TD coin flip and Boss is another maybe.
Go Havner if Finely is out.. otherwise start Boss.
Enter text right here!
?? start Manning! lol
i know its late but i thought i had what i was going to do but i dont. two things. RB and WR. My league is a PPR league with 2 RB RB/WR flex spot and 2 WR____
I have LT, Ray Rice, C. Portis, Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell ( thomas backup) ____
the WR's I have is Andre Johson (OBVIOUSLY), Mario Manningham (hes playin), Hakeem Nicks, Josh Morgan ( san fran, i know its crazy) ,
____I need 2 RBs a RB/WR flex spot and 2 WRs….i usually put a RB in the flex spot, please if anyone sees
this please help. check this though. Im in a 10 team league.
__I was gonna do LT, Ray Rice, Portis…Andre Johnson and Manningham, but i was actually questioning hakeem nicks instead. anyway. what do you guys think?
Oddly enough, my string of good luck continues. Dropped Portis for ATL defense yesterday since I was worried about the Colts against Houston. Good move on my part considering Portis left with a concussion. Should I drop Megatron and grab Betts before anyone else can? Don't need another RB, but my main opponent is light on RBs. Don't want to leave a quality guy out there.
Na I'd stick with Megatron. Washington sucks and Portis will be back in a week or two, I think. Let your boy pick up Betts then make the wrong call with him on game day.
Should I trade Calvin Johnson since hes not doing anything or keep him and see what happens???
I have a question.
Mike Bell is available on the waivers list for my league. I currently have Slaton, Moats, Wells, and Greene.
Should I perhaps get rid of one of these in exchange for Mike Bell?
Thanks!
Carries split against Carolina: Pierre- 23, Bell- 8. Pierre is the main option. The only guy I'd consider for a second to drop for Bell would be Greene, but if something happens to TJones(fumblitis, injury) you'll wish you had him back. I say stick with your 4.
I was offered D. Bowe for C. Johnson in a non-keeper, standard scoring league. Should I accept this trade?
Who to start this week?
Cedric Benson @ PIT
Marion Barber @ GB
Rashard Mendenhall vs CIN
I'd start Mendenhall, I don't care how good CIN is versus the run. PIT is opening up hug holes and he is very strong and fast. PIT shut down the Broncos so I'm low on Benson. Barber is a good start but shares time with three other backs..
Easy answer? Benson has been the most consistent of the three. Tough answer: Barber is losing carries to Felix and Choice, and some redzone carries too(see the Wildcat TD run for Choice against Philly). It's between Benson and Mendenhall, IMO, and I'd go with Cedric.
Non-PPR league- Normally, starting Roddy over Harvin would be a no-brainer. Roddy's at Carolina this week- their secondary is playing great, and I can see Turner chewing them up on the ground instead of letting Ryan throw a few picks. Would you start Percy against Detroit in Minnesota? I think he's more likely to get a TD(be it through the air or on a return) than Roddy this week.
I have Hines Ward as my WR1. Who of the following players should I play at WR2: Burleson, Maclin or Mike Wallace?
Mike Wallace hands down. The last time he faced the Bengals he torched them in his breakout game for 102 yards on 7 catches.
Hey guys thanks again im first in my league with your help…
PPY league
Berrian vs the Lions or Breaston vs the Seahawks…
THANKS
Breaston for PPR
Berrian is hit or miss
Hey guys…you kick ass every week
in a standard league:
Should i go with austin collie vs NE or Lee Evans vs TEN. Orrrrr Devery Henderson (vs StL), Nate Washington (vs BUF) and Earl Bennet (vs SF) are all availabel on the waiver.
And i need two RBS: SJax vs NO, Jamaal Charles vs OAK, or Westbrook McCoy (whoever plays) vs SD?
I got one more guys Barber vs GB, Benson vs Pit, or Hightower vs Seattle….PPR league ….THANKS
I like Barber and Hightower.. Hightower is high risk high reward though just depends if he is catching balls or not
in a standard scoring league:
Im deeeeep at WR. I need to start three: Robert Meachum (StL), Burleson (Ari), mike wallace (Cinnci), greg jennings (DAL), maclin(SD), collie(NE), Braylon edwards (JAX) or johnny knox (SF)?
Or…if four are going to blow up, i cant start a fourth over Ray Rice, Michael Turner or Thomas Jones
I like austin collie vs NE
Also start Sjax and Charles.. but if westbrook is OUT then start McCoy over Charles
ROMO OR FAVRE?
you think AP will just end the game himself?
I like Romo in this one simply because AP could take it to the house several times in this one..
Im playing my archenemy this week and have to beat him
Whos the best 2RB's 2WR's and 1 Flex
My choice
P. Thomas. NO RB V. STL
Ray Rice, Bal RB V. Cle
Sidney Rice, MIN WR V. DET
Randy Moss, NE WR V. IND
Hines Ward, Pit WR V. Cin
Other Options
Calvin Johnson, Det WR V. Min—-Has to step up if they want to win Min
Jamaal Charles, KC RB V. Oak—–Might have a big game he knows he has to prove himself
Mike Bell, NO RB V. STL
Andre Caldwell, Cin WR V. Pit
I should have the theme song to the A-Team playing in the background while answering this.
I would DEFINITLY start Ray Rice and Pierre Thomas all day at RB
I would also start Sidney Rice and Hines Ward at WR with Randy Moss as your flex against a dmaged Indy secondary
Good Luck and I hope I help you.
here is your theme song =)
[youtube yrK0rZj6pes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrK0rZj6pes youtube]
Trade offer pending LeSean McCoy for Jason Witten?
If you need a TE go with Witten. If you need a RB McCoy has promise but isn't a lock.
Need help with my WR. I see potential in all match-ups this week. Who should I leave on the bench? (standard scoring)
Jennings vs DAL
Mason vs CLE
Marshall vs WAS or
Wallace vs CIN
Thanks!
Bench Marshall vs WAS and Wallace – both face top ranked defenses
i know i am a total amateur here,,,,but last time the steelers played cinci, wallace burned them for 102 yards and a td. he also has 3 tds in the last four games. should we ignore those numbers? (thats a genuine question, not an attempt to be a douche…i also have wallace and am wondering whether or not to start him
I have Benson @PIT, Brown vsTB, and Lynch @TEN. Gotta start 2.
I also have Boldin vsSEA, Cotchery vsJAC, Hester @SF, Chambers @OAK, and Sims-Walker @NYJ. Gotta start 3.
Im definitely starting Brown and Hester but I have no idea about the rest.
Start Benson and Brown at RB
Start Boldin and Cotchery along with Hester. Chambers is still unproven and Sims-Walker will be dealing with Darrell "The Shadow" Revis all day.
hey guys. I've been offered Hightower and Jennings for Fitzgerald. What do you think?
put down the pipe and walk away..
Fitzgerald has a great playoff schedule, keep him..
who should i play at flex: Ryant Grant (Dal), Jeremy Maclin (@SD) or Burleson (@Ariz) ?
Grant – he will touch the ball more
Need 1 RB out of these 4 10yrds=1pt and 6 for TD
Hightower and Wells vs Sea, Jamal Charles vs. Oak or Donal Brown vs the Pats
Thanks Again for all your help
Hightower for sure. Arizona is one of the best endzone teams in the NFL…(Hightower leads the way with 80% of those touches )
Standard league. Need one for my flex.
Cotchery vs. Jags,
Berrian vs. Lions,
Cadillac vs. Miami.
I have Rice and Westbrook(Mr. Crapshoot) starting at RB.
I like Cadillac versus Miami.. tough matchup but that's my gut call.
PPr league. Need a flex.
Ocho vs Steelers
Driver vs Cowboys
Addai vs Pats
And do you like Gates vs Eagles or Carlson vs Arizona. Thanks as always!
Start Gates versus Eagles
Addai all day
1 more if you don't mind!
Need a flex position Non-PPR
Jamal Charles vs Oak or Mike Wallace vs Cincy
Thanks
start Charles versus weak run d
Barber or Maroney? Maroney will be in a shootout…
Pick 2 – Hous, Welker, Holmes, L. Evans – Im pretty well set of Welker, just need my 2nd WR
start Barber
Welker and Evans
PPR… Ocho or Driver @ WR. Thanks!
hey i just picked up ladell betts and it looks like westbrook is gonna hit the field. Betts vs den, Jamall Charles vs the raiders or westbrook (or mccoy, got him too) to go along with Steven Jackson? standard league
It looks like Ronnie Brown won't play this week so I need to replace him with either Kevin Smith vs Cle or Beanie Wells vs StL. Or I could start a third WR in my flex spot, I have Colston, Marshall and D Jackson. Standard Scoring, what do you think?
Usually I'd do with a RB but Colston is coming off two bad games and usually rebounds big. I like Colston. Beanie Wells has a nice match-up but who knows what will happen with him. D Jackson is a nice bet too but I still think Colston will do it and do it well.
Start two wide receivers, standard scoring league:
Ochocinco vs. Oakland
Sidney Rice vs. Seattle
COlston vs Tampa
(this is one of those week where I wish I had a WR/RB flex spot)
Start Sidney Rice vs. Seattle
COlston vs Tampa
Oakland can shut down number one wr
Gentlemen,
Week 11.
I need 1 RB, I WR, and 1 FLEX out of these players.
RB's – S. Slaton Vs TEN. R. Moats Vs TEN. B. Wells Vs STL. LT Vs DEN.
WR's – R. White Vs NYG. M. Sims – Walker Vs BUF. S. Smith (CAR) Vs MIA.
Regular scoring.
Thanks!
I say start.. B. Wells Vs STL. LT Vs DEN. R. White Vs NYG.
start or sit. Peyton manning vs bal. Or Ben rothlisburger vs KC. help me please. This might cost me the season
Eghad man!
here's my take but see what everyone else says.
Manning has more big time weapons than Big Ben and Baltimore can't defend the downfeild pass or yards aftr catch.
Indy has Collie, Wayne, Clark, and Garcion, whereas Pittsburgh has Wallace and Ward primarily. I think Tomlin may run heavily and pass moderatly….but that's just me.
Verdict: Manning!
Oh wow.. they are both strong plays but you got to roll with Manning and the RED HOT Colts
Im ranked 4th in league playing rank #3 so i need to whip him badly
PPR League
Need 2 RB's 2 WR's 1 Flex
Im pretty sure im going to play P.Thomas and R. Rice as RB's
Its my recievers im iffy about
Sindey Rice Min. V. Sea
Randy Moss NE. V. NYJ
Hines Ward PIT. V. KC
Calvin Johnson DET. V. Cle
and what Def should i play
Vikes V. SEA
Bengals V. Oak
im leaning towards Bengals
Moss against Revis is a very bad idea…just look at the first time around and you'll see why.
For you recievers I would go with Rice for sure and Megatron vs. Cleveland with Hines Ward as your Flex….that's a potent lineup right there boy.
Start Cincy's D as you thought and happy whoop-assing :)
for your def I'd start Bengals V. Oak
I also like Sindey Rice Min. V. Sea
Moss could get shut out again vs Jets
Which defense do I start? Standard scoring (pick=2, fumble=2, sack=2, TD=6) no special teams
NYJ against New England
CHI against Philly
Or I could pick up WAS against DAL
Not very good options.. how about the Lions versus Cleveland! Lions D could feast here
else just roll with WAS against DAL.. make sure Haynsworth plays. Dallas is missing right bookend so you should be okay.. but not great.
Guys,
I am having some doubts on who to start at WR.
I have R. Wayne (I know, no brainer), but I also have R. White, S. Smith (CAR), & M. Sims-Walker.
I read the WR start sit list, and noticed that White, and Smith are ranked higher than Sims, but something tells me to start Sims over one of those 2, im just not sure who.
I would like to use 2 of the 3 as my second WR and FLEX pick.
Could I pelase get a second opinion!?
Regular scoring.
Thanks!
Sorry…
White Vs NYG
Smith Vs MIA
Sims-Walker Vs BUF
You have three spots open right? ( Two Wrs and a Flex ) so in theory you can use all three?
Yes sir, I do have 3 spots, but one is taken by R. Wayne lol
So, out of the other 3,(need one for WR2, and one for FLEX) who is the best to start?
Thanks Ray!
Which 2 WR's should I play: Hines Ward, Mike Wallace, Burleson, Jeremy Maclin, Manningham ?
Ward and Wallace against KC's horrid pass coverage :)
Ward and Wallace KILLED me last week…
Yeah Ward killed me too, but they are playing KC this week, so I see a bounce back in the future.
Ok guys, I'm in a three way tie for first with three weeks to go. With Westbrook out again, who do you like
Beanie vs Rams
B.Scott vs Raiders
And do you like the Vikings 'd' vs Seattle, or the Bengals 'd' vs the Raiders?
As always, thanks alot!
I like Wells vs. the Rams, and I think the bengals have a far better chance for turnovers vs. the Raiders than Minnesota does.
Hi Guys,
Sorry to be such a pain, but I still need a little help on who to start for my second WR, and my FLEX position.
The cantidates are….R. White Vs NYG / S. Smith (CAR) Vs MIA / or M. Sims-Walker Vs BUF.
One for WR2, and one for FLEX.
Regular scoring.
Thanks again!
You got to do with R. White Vs NYG / S. Smith (CAR) Vs MIA
Sims will get shut down by the Bills. They have a great secondary and MJD and crew will run all over them.
Smith for sure against Miami's terrible pass D. and I like White better than Sims-Walker :)
which is best- Maroney versus Jets or Hightower versus ST. Louis
What did Maroney do last week? he fumbled inside the five.. I'm sure the staff remembers that. go with Hightower
Who will produce higher numbers? Harvin versus Seattle or Smith versus ATL
Harvin baby.. more big play ability too.
Fighting for 1st in my division and up against my competition this week…
Need 2 RB – Moats, Slaton vs TEN , Forte vs PHI or Betts vs DAL
Need 3 WR – Marshall vs SD, Jennings vs SF, Maclin vs CHI, Wallace vs KC, Mason vs IND
Standard scoring.
Thanks!
Betts in Dallas – Portis is sitting this week again… or Forte is you get PPR
WR go with Marshall, Maclin and Mason
if Orton rides the pine swap Marshall with Jennings
D. McNabb vs. Chicago or C. Palmer vs. Oakland? Standard Scoring
Are you serious? Serious? McNabb all day versus the lowly Bears. Oakland can shut a passing team down quick.
warner or schaub this week?
Start Warner for the rest of the season. His matchups are sweet and Boldin is full speed again.
I have a interesting line up dilemma this week
Scoring is 10yrds=1pt and TD=6pts Non PPR
I have Ray Rice, Grant vs Dal, Wells vs STL and Stewart already played.
For WR I Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson vs DEN, Sidney Rice vs Sea and Maclin vs Chi.
I have the option of Staring 3WR and 1 RB and I was thinking Rice for my RB and Johnson, Jackson and Sidney Rice for my WR's. I could also start Wells or Grant but I don't like Grant's matchup but Wells might have a sweet game, I just feel Sidney could have another monster game this week. I could go for Snelling or Scott but then drop Stewart as a 1 week flier, I am not sure I could get him back the guy with D.WSilliams is lower on the waiver wire.
Thanks for the help guys
Rice should have a great game against the Colts this week making him a nice start. The Colts have allowed 291 yards and 3 TDs in their last three games; that's an average of 97 Yards and 1 TD/G.
Grant has a bad matchup against a 49er team that allows an average of 78 yards rushing a game and hasn't allowed a rushing TD since Chris Johnson roughed them up.
Wells, is intriguiing but it is Hightower that remains ther redzone and goalline back for Arizona, making him more of a risk, than worthy.
You WR lineup is gold! Rice, Johnson, and Jackson shouild all have big days and with Ray Rice as your starting back, you should too!
Eagles D/ST vs Chicago or Saints D/ST vs Tampa?
Lawrence Tynes vs Atlanta or Olindo Mare vs Minnesota?
Saints and Tynes all day Kate!
Guys,
Quick question for a Monday night starter at RB….
S. Slaton, or R. Moats Vs TEN?
Regular scoring.
Thanks!
start Slaton, coach said it's his time to shine
Gents,
Need 2 RB starters… S. Slaton Vs IND, R. Moats Vs IND, B. Wells Vs TEN, or S. Greene Vs CAR.
Also, need 1 WR, and FLEX….. R. White Vs TB, S. Smith (CAR) Vs NYJ, or M. Sims-Walker Vs SF.
TE……K. Winslow Vs ATL or D. Keller Vs CAR.
Regular scoring.
Thanks!!!
Whats up Mark..
S. Slaton Vs IND has the most upside here.. got you a TD this week didn't he =)
R. White Vs TB or M. Sims-Walker Vs SF. BOTH are good options
I like Winslow Vs ATL
I desperately need some help this week… please provide your picks (.4 PPR)
QB is Warner vs Ten (if ok to play)
RB pick two – Peterson vs Chi, J. Lewis vs Cin, R. Bush vs NE, C Williams vs ATL, Buckhalter vs NYG
WR pick three – Wayne vs Hou, Driver vs Det, Rice vs Chi, Sims Walker vs SF
K is Gotskowski
D is Baltimore
I wish I could take all four WR and only one RB… oh well. :)
Thanks for the help!
Start Peterson vs Chi,and R. Bush vs NE Wayne vs Hou, Driver vs Det, Sims Walker vs SF
I need to play 2 WR's out of: Hines, Manningham, Maclin, Burleson
Hines, and Burleson will bring the heat this week
I need to play 3 RB's out of: Mendenhall, Gore, Grant, Slaton
I say start Gore, Grant, Slaton
Mendenhall will be caught in a gun fight.. he will either be a hero or a victim
I have two spots for Beanie Wells vs. TN, Brandon Marshall, vs NYG or Marques Colston vs. NE
Start Brandon Marshall, vs NYG and Marques Colston vs. NETN defense is back in full effect and the team is soaring high.. sit Beanie this week
I have to start either Forte, McCoy, Breaston, Harvin or Hester in my flex this week. Any suggestions?
McCoy is a good bet if Haynsworth is out. If you're PPR go with Forte.
Otherwise Harvin is a great play maker
Please choose two RB's PPR leauge
P. Thomas NO V. NE
Ray Rice Bal V. Pit
Jamaal Charles KC V. SD
Mike Bell NO V. NE
I really feel i should keep Thomas out but i dont like Charles V. SD than again Charles will get all the touches. Bell may have bigger numbers than Thomas again this week What do you think? Im playing Rice for sure.
I actually like Charles against San Diego over any Saints runner vs. New England this week.
The Chargers are ranked 21st against the run giving up an average of 119 yards a game and 7 TDs on the season where as the Patriots are ranked 14th, give up around 109 yards a game but only 3 TDs to goaline backs.
Considering Charles had an impressive day against the Steelers last week ( the number ONE ranked rushing defense) there is no reason to think Charles won't have a goo dday against the Chargers.
I say Rice and Charles!
I dont know if it helps any but i just picked up Cartwright Was V Phi
Out of the 4 which should i choose
I need to start 2X RB.
Jones-Drew VS San Fran; Steven Jackson VS Seatle; Ryan Grant VS Detroit.
Scoring is straight up yds(1 yd = 1 pt) and 6 pts for TD’s. Only rushing, receiving and passing yds count.
Thanks.
Steve Smith (CAR) vs Darrelle Revis and the Jets or Robert Meachem vs NE? Standard scoring…I am thinking Meachem. How many of you think Steve Smith can beat Revis?
Meachem is the better option. He played 38 snaps last week and got two TD's.
I have 2 questions: I can start 3WR's and 1 RB or 2RB's and 2 WR's. I already started Grant and I have Ray Rice vs Pit. My WR's are Andre Johnson vs IND, Vincent Jackson vs KC and Sidney Rice vs Chi. Do I dare Sit Ray Rice and go 3 WR's or stay with Rice and Start Andre and Vince? 10yds=1pt and TD=6
Next question is I have to start 1 RB and 1 Flex out of these Jamaal Charles vs SD, Forsett vs STL, Wells vs Ten, Scott vs Cle and Maclin vs Wash. Same scoring but bonus 3pt for going over 100 yrds.
Thanks for the help!
Question one: Keep Rice in and go with Johnson and Jackson for sure.
Question two: Forsett and Wells will both have a ton of opportunities for yardage and scoring and I would go with those two.
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,

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.
