    Hello gentlemen,

    Who to start:
    RB- Murry vs SF
    Bernard vs BAL
    S. Jackson vs NO

    WR- A. Brown vs CLE
    P. Garcon vs Hou
    Amendola vs MIA
    M. Austin vs PIT.

    TE- Cameron vs PIT
    Pitta vs CIN

    Also, I hear Josh Gordon may be returning soon. Should I pick him up and drop someone listed above? I also have Welker, J. Rodgers and Turbin sitting on my bench I could get rid of if need be.

    Thanks!

    I'm still checking Josh Gordon news, I think the problem now is that he is waiting to hear what theNFL and NFLPA decide about the drug testing. If they up the limit of a positive test it will make both his samples at a level acceptable and give him add ammunition for his potential lawsuit. I think he would have filed the injunction already had it not been for the nfl looking into changing the rules. I'm still deciding whether to keep him through the weekend or not if he doesn't file today. Welker is in the same boat, except he isn't looking into filing a lawsuit, but I would definitely keep him as he only has a 4 game suspension. He will have value this year for sure.

    Who to start:
    RB- Murry vs SF
    S. Jackson vs NO

    WR- A. Brown vs CLE
    P. Garcon vs Hou

    TE- Cameron vs PIT - Flex (Hopefully because I'm not into Amendola or Austin as much as I am Cameron)
    Pitta vs CIN

    If that's Jacquizz Rodgers, dump him. He's not worth keeping. I'd pick Gordon up, but he will be sitting on your team for awhile before they come up with a solution.

    Hi Greg,

    I forgot to mention that I need a FLEX out of the above also.

    Would G. Bernard be good here? Please keep in mind I can have any RB/WR/TE as a FLEX.

    THANKS!

    I'm an idiot. When I saw Bernard and Ravens, I thought Bernard Pierce. Use Bernard and Murray as your backs. Stick with the same receivers I listed and use Cameron in the flex.

    Thanks Greg!

    My starting team for week one will then be:

    Qb- P. Manning
    Rb's- G.Bernard
    Murray
    Wr's- Brown
    Garcon
    FLEX- Cameron
    TE- Pitta
    Dst- SF
    K- Gostkiwski

    This look right?

    I'm a huge fan of you guys (FKH's), keep doing the Lord's work! ;)

    I just saw that Gordon was picked up by another guy in my league. You mentioned that Jaquz Rodgers was useless... Any suggestions on who to dump him in for?

    I'm not too sure what my team is lacking in the most lol

    Thanks.

    thank you for the compliments.

    add your full roster to your signature. that will help a lot.

    add the top 10 or so running backs and receivers from the waiver wire in your next post

    Hi Greg,
    Here are the top ten RB/WR listed available in my league. Do any of these players have any more promise than Jaquiz Rodgers?

    Also please note that my signature has been updated with my whole team as requested.

    RB
    J. Dwyer- Pit
    Ivory - Nyj
    Tolbert- Car
    Blount- Pit
    Thomas- No
    Woodhead- Sd
    Pierce- Bal
    Hillman- Den
    Mccluster- Ten
    West- Cle
    Reece- Oak

    Wr
    T. Austin- Stl
    M. Williams- Buf
    Avery- Kc
    Cotchery- Car
    Bryant- Pit
    Randall- Nyg
    Hawkins- Cle
    Givens- Stl
    Jennings- Lee

    I'm kind of having a hard time dealing with the fact that you want me to start Cameron in my Flex... Wouldn't S. Jackson be a better choice in my FLEX with Cameron in the TE and Pitta on my bench? You guys are the pro's so I will def do as suggested but I wanted to be absolutely sure. :)

    Gracias

    Since it's a non ppr league, Pierce would be a better option than Rodgers.

    Your scenario isn't bad either. I just don't like Jackson because he's lost a lot of his athleticism and is playing being a shaky run offense.

    Gordon decided not to filing a lawsuit. Not worth rostering at this point. If/when the NFL and NFLPA decide on the new rule look into adding him back on a roster, only if they are giving indications they well reduce suspensions.
