My WR's Stevie Johnson,Roddy,Megatron,Colston and Moore(raiders).

I can use 2 WR and 2 RB's plus 2 Flex options.

Roddy is finally heating up but so is CJ2K. IDK, I think you have a good group w/Mathews and Spiller looking ready to roll. It's a decent trade but not one that has to be done.

You have a ton of busted up guys w/Bradshaw, McFadden and Smith, though. I'd say Julio v. Roddy is a push and Jordy + CJ for Calvin is a solid deal. There's no reason to beleive CJ2K won't continue to dominate with NO, Indy and Jax remaining.

Any chance Michael Bush's owner might bite on McFadden?

No thanks on Garcon. The Patriots D routinely makes guys look like heroes. That won't happen with Ngata et al driving olinemen into Orvlovsky all day long.

I'd go with Williams, simply b/c the Saints are on fire and Tennessee will likely need to keep their foot on the pedal to keep up.

If that's a typo, please disregard. Ricky won't help you . . . you need Marion. lol

Thomas, if those are the options. Battle has disappeared, which is unfortunate because I snagged him prior to his blowup vs. the Colts in the majority of my leagues.

ImBrotherCain · 12-06-2011, 02:05 PM

Marion is gone... The FA market is scarce.

Quite possibly the worst I have ever seen it. The top point scorers ytd that are avallible are:

Ogbonnaya, M. Reece, R. Williams, Addai, D.Carter, J. Kuhn and I. Redman

Not much better options out there. Again ughh.

WMD · 12-06-2011, 02:06 PM

Mike Wallace vs. Cleveland
Brandon Marshall vs. Philly
Torrey Smith vs. Indy
Damian Williams vs. New Orleans

I need to pick three. Always gotta play Mike Wallace.. but I think I'd end up regretting it if I don't play Torrey vs. Indy. I guess I'd have to pick between Damian or Torrey.. any advice?

ImBrotherCain · 12-06-2011, 02:08 PM

I would probably play Wallace, Marshall and Smith

Yikes. Yes, Ricky is the best of that paltry bunch. There's a very good chance he'll get plenty of work vs. Indy this week, too.

See previous post about Williams. I love Torrey (own him in 2 leagues) but the Indy D may prevent Flacco from gaining any yards passing. Not cuz they're good at pass D, mind you.

No, the guy that is not active but good idea maybe someone will want McFadden.

ImBrotherCain · 12-07-2011, 07:52 AM

Well... At least I got Ricky. I plan on starting him unless Forte magically comes back on Sunday.

The other question is who should I start (Pick one):
Mike Wallace vs CLE - Cleveland has one of the top two passing defenses and should probably going to just get run all over.

Brandon Marshall vs PHI - Given a ton of passing TDs despite the huge additions in the secondary.

Brandon Lloyd vs SEA- Middle of the pack defense but who is Lloyd going to have throwing him the ball?

I am leaning toward Marshall or Wallace but its like 65% to 35% Marshall.

As a Wallace owner, I understand the second guessing. But I have not and will not take him out of my lineup. I do agree the Steelers will run all over Cleveland, but there will still be a few play action passes over the top and they will go Wallace's way. Even against Haden, I won't sit him.

Jughead10 · 12-07-2011, 03:02 PM

I'm looking a week forward and worried about Adrian Peterson's injury for my first playoff game. Right now my options if he doesn't play are:

Gerhart vs NO
Ben Tate vs CAR
James Starks @ KC
Mark Ingram @ MIN

I could pick up:

Tomlinson @ PHI
Marion Barber vs. SEA (Strongly considering this)

Also McCluster, Donald Brown, and Ogbonnaya. Don't feel like looking up their oppoenents. This .5 PPR. Any suggestions?

bantx · 12-07-2011, 03:12 PM

stay away from Marion Barber Seahawks defense is pretty good they held Ray Rice in the game they played them anyone vs Seahawks right now I'd stay away. I'd go Mark Ingram he's getting better every week.

Barber and Bell will likely be a time share in the Bears backfield and routinely facing a stacked box. I don't like Barber against a hot Seattle D. I would have no problem playing Tate or Gerhart against those sweetheart matchups. Tate vs. one of the worst rush Ds looks especially nice, since the Texans' recipe for victory with Schaub out is clearly going to be run, run, and run some more.

I have Foster also. So that would be a lot of eggs in the Houston basket.

Understandable. Start Gerhart.

Either way, Barber is not a better option.

bantx · 12-07-2011, 03:32 PM

Mark Ingram!!!

Minny will be done by a lot really fast and will be forced to throw, while Ingram will eat up clock and eventually break for one.

Jughead10 · 12-07-2011, 03:33 PM

Well hopefully Peterson plays and all this pondering will be for nothing.

Stash · 12-07-2011, 03:34 PM

Pick two:

Mendenhall vs CLE

Blount vs JAX

Beanie Wells vs SF

Spiller vs SD

Standard yahoo league

bantx · 12-07-2011, 03:37 PM

Blout and Mendenhall

I just don't trust Beanie and Spiller is really close behind Mendenhall, so it could be either spiller or mendenhall for me.

fenikz · 12-07-2011, 03:51 PM

I wouldn't touch Beanie this week, I figure maybe some like like 12-35 is what he ends up with

You're right. I've thought since mid-season that Ingram would finish strong. He's likely to be a better play than Gerhart.

Definitely Mendenhall.

I really want to love Blount but the Buccs just don't seem to want to feed him enough. It's tough to play him after last week's performance, but you have to think the Jags won't be able to score as quickly as the Panthers. That should mean more time for Blount to get rolling, but I'm more likely to lean Spiller. The guy is explosive and won't disappear if the Bills get behind like we'll see with Blount.

fenikz · 12-07-2011, 04:37 PM

pick 2 (.5 PPR)
L. Robinson vs NYG(w/ Miles returning)
J Gaffney vs NE
A. Gates vs Buf
B. Wells vs SF
A. Johnson @ Cin(if he plays)

KCJ58 · 12-07-2011, 07:20 PM

Standard ESPN scoring

Pick 1:

Matthew Stafford Vs. Minnestoa
Eli Maninng @ Dallas

It's scary, but Gaffney has to be a solid play this week. Gates along with him. AJ & Gates if AJ plays.

Gotta roll w/Stafford vs. a terrible D.
