    I've got a few from my five leagues:



    WDIS 2 out of 3 from Donte Stallworth vs. DAL, Derrick Mason vs. CIN, and Joey Galloway @ NO? My other WR is Reggie Wayne vs CHI. We start 3 WRs and get 10yds/pt receiving, td/6pts, -2/fumble lost, (12-team league, NFL.com). Obviously if Galloway is inactive I'll sit him and start Mason and Stallworth. But what if he's not? Then who do I sit? Right now I'm leaning towards starting Galloway and sitting Mason if Galloway plays.



    I have the same problem in another 12-team league on NFL.com with the same rules. My receivers are Joey Galloway @ NO, Derrick Mason vs. CIN, Roy Williams @ ATL, and Braylon Edwards vs. DAL. Do I start Galloway over Mason if he's healthy? Right now I'm leaning towards starting Galloway if he plays.



    WDIS at flex (I don't know/understand the scoring system in a yahoo 8-team league) between Joey Galloway @ NO, Earnest Graham @ NO, Michael Turner vs. DET, and Hines Ward vs. HOU? We start 2 WRs, 2 RBs, and 1 flex. My starting receivers are Marques Colston vs. TB and Anquan Boldin @SF. Starting RBs are Brandon Jacobs vs. WSH and Marion Barber @ CLE. Right now I'm leaning towards starting Turner.


    WDIS @ Flex and RB between Laurence Maroney vs. KC, Matt Forte @ IND, Ricky Williams vs. NYJ, Rashard Mendenhall vs. HOU, Nate Burleson @ BUF, Vincent Jackson vs. Carolina, and Sidney Rice @ GB? We start 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 Flex (Again I don't know/understand the scoring system for a 10-team league on ESPN).
    I'm starting Marion Barber @ CLE at RB, and Marques Colston vs. TB and Anquan Boldin @ SF at WR. So I have two players to start from that list of 7, at least one has to be a RB. Right now I'm leaning towards starting Maroney @ RB and Forte @ flex.

    My last NFL.com league's lineup is set.


    HELP!

    I second WR's suggestions, I would consider Jackson against Carolina as I think he is in for a big year and I still don't think Ricky is going to get that many chances, being that they still should be losing and have to abandon the run fairly early and Ricky just doesn't catch the ball well.

    Glad I chose Turner over Graham.

    Small issue...

    This somewhat depends on what Addai can do for me tonight.

    I'm down by 3 point in my league (30 rushing yards). I have Addai playing now and the GB defense tomorrow. My opponent has Selvin Young as his last player to go.

    Denver and Oakland are still available and I could easily pick one of them up. I'm not feeling confident on GB against AP, just wondering if I should make this rash move before the games tomorrow or if I should just wait it out.

    thoughts?

    this is the crap I hate about WDIS, this hecker asked for advice, didn't take it, then says he's glad he didn't take it. well, I won't be responding to any of your requests ungrateful douche.

    I understand what you are saying, but what if GB returns a kick or a fumble, niether denver or oakland are sure bets to do anything and what you are proposing is basically a crap shoot. You drafted GB, they have a solid defense, I think you should stick with what you got.

    play the WW for the best matchup available each week, maybe if you have some decent depth, you can try and trade for a QB.

    Why do you turn everything I say upside-down and then attack me on it? I asked for advice, got it, took some of it, and started Turner over Graham because I owned Graham in another league and I had a gut feeling that Turner would have a big day, which he did. I was glad I went with my gut because it worked out for me in the end. I don't ask even though I've already made up my mind. I need honest advice. It's called advice. You can choose to follow it or not. It's not called let everyone tell you what to do and then do it because you have to. I am very grateful for the advice people gave me and I used it and followed some of it. I'm just saying it's a good thing I chose Turner over Graham in what was a very hard decision to make but turned out well for me in the end. Everything always has to be about ripping apart my posts and comments with you. You get joy out of this don't you? You sick freak.

    that's fine, take the advice or leave it, don't come on here and only post about how you were glad you didn't take the advice, it's just more of you being an attention tramp. if this is an advice thread, what is the purpose you posting that at all? It gives no advice whatsoever. Was it to show that you were awesome in picking that one? You are ridiculous. If you didn't post news, I would have you on ignore.
