Actually, I think Haley finally realized Jones is done. He will still get some carries but Battle is the work horse and would get the goal line touches.

RufusMcDaniel · 11-02-2011, 07:12 PM

Alright so no AD this week, obviously Forte gets a start....who should be my other RB?

Pierre Thomas vs. TB, James Starks @ SD, or Mike Tolbert vs. GB?

Also, I lost Sean Lee as my defensive player, and well I have no idea who to pick up, any suggestions?

These are the guys who aren't available...M. Burnett, Angerer, J. Allen, G. Wilson, DQ. Jackson, Bowman, Bishop, Lewis, Posluszny, Willis and McCourty

AHungryWalrus · 11-02-2011, 10:03 PM

I'm 6-2, and rolling after starting slowly due to Foster and Charles being out.

I'm thinking about dealing SJaxx for Maclin if Jackson can have a big week this week. I would use either one as a flex, but a) I HATE SJaxx's playoff schedule, and b) It's a keeper league, and Jackson has just had so many carries, if I can unload him for a young receiver who I would be able to have next year, I think it's worth it.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Tough one. Unless Cribbs returns kickoffs, I'd go Silent G. As long as Hillis & Hardesty are out he should get plenty of work.

Yeah, I'm anti-homer on that one. lol
Greene has been doing well but I like the way KC is playing. It does look like a pretty even pick between the two. I'd go homer on a decision like that every time, as well. ;)

If Tolbert goes and Matthews is out that choice is easy. I'd go with him over the other two even if Matthews plays, tbh.

No IDP experience for me to help much. Points for tackles? INT? Sacks? Why the hell does someone have McCourty?
Ware isn't on that list of unavailable. Peppers should be good for a few sacks vs. Vick.

Sounds like a good move. SJax is the more reliable, consistent of the two (unless it's ppr) and I really like him to finish strong this year. Personally, I'd take SJax but I apparently have a mancrush on him.

Jakey · 11-03-2011, 11:51 AM

Just a quick one guys...

Pick 2 WR's and 1 FLEX, 1PPR + Return Yardage:

Chris Johnson v. CIN
Brandon Marshall @ KC
Antonio Brown v. BAL
Victor Cruz @ NE
Michael Crabtree@ WAS

Thanks people!

bantx · 11-03-2011, 11:54 AM

Great . . . Bradshaw was the only reliable RB I own in my highest buy-in league. Looks like I'll be shopping Rodgers again after this week.

Moore and Nelson. Hopefully Nelson returns to the world of the visible.

ImBrotherCain · 11-03-2011, 02:31 PM

I have Jacobs and a very good stable of RB ahead of him (FJax, Forte, Wells and P. Thomas)

I just threw out 3 trade offers trying for someone to buy high on him

SFbear · 11-03-2011, 02:35 PM

Standard Scoring
Pick 2
A.J. Green @ TEN
Darren Sproles vs. TB
Miles Austin vs. SEA

Ware isn't on that list of unavailable. Peppers should be good for a few sacks vs. Vick.

Here's the breakdown for the IDP:

Tackle Solo - 1
Tackle Assist - .5
Sack - 2
INT - 2
Fumble Force - 2
Fumble Recovery - 2
Defensive Touchdown - 6
Safety - 2

As for Jason McCourty, he has 66.50 points so far this year which is ranked 6th overall for Defensive players.

I don't think I could sit Sproles at this point. He's just been too good. Sproles and Austin would be my picks.

I was thinking Devin McCourty. That explains it.

A sneaky pick would be London Fletcher. He's solid, always involved in the play and their offense is just awful. With the possession time likely to be heavily skewed against the Skins DST he could have plenty of opportunity to rack up tackles. He's also good in coverage and could snag an INT here and there.

fenikz · 11-03-2011, 06:14 PM

Pick 1, non ppr :(
C Johnson vs Cin
B Jacobs @ NE
P Thomas v TB

worst part is Battle & Murray are my 2 locks for starting

Its sad but I have to go Jacobs. Thomas is going to see his carries go down again with Ingram most likely back this week.

holt_bruce81 · 11-03-2011, 07:03 PM

DeMarco Murray for Larry Fitzgerald

think the guy bites?

ImBrotherCain · 11-03-2011, 07:16 PM

Probably not but I am rooting for ya lol.

All things equal I agree, Jackson is better. But he's playing Cincinnati and Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and I don't see St. Louis getting more than one TD in either of those games. And I can't keep him for next year... So that's why I'm thinking of swinging him for a young WR I can have next year, and who is more match up proof.

RaiderNation · 11-04-2011, 01:16 AM

So I'm debating who I should start this week, Eric Decker @OAK or Reggie Wayne vs ATL?
