QB: Mike Vick, Josh Freeman
RB: Arian Foster, DeMarco Murray, Doug Martin, Cedric Benson, Jaquizz Rodgers
WR: Julio Jones, Marques Colston, Jeremy Maclin, Titus Young, Mike Williams
TE: Rob Gronkowski
K: Stephen Gotskowski
Defense: Houston
D: Daryl Washington

who should I flex? (my league is QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, D) I have Martin in right now, but if Joe Haden is out, i feel like I should put Maclin. And then there is Titus Young who looks like he has a very favorable matchup

Also, what do you guys think of Mendy? I think he might be worth a pickup, but with the Steelers OL being terrible probably not. Gerhart might be someone to look at also.

Bolded the starters i want without a doubt

Can you guys give me some advice?

I've been playing fantasy football for damn near a decade at this point, and this is probably the happiest I've been with my team in any league after a draft. Had last pick too. The only move I dislike even the slightest is having to take Malcolm Floyd over Pierre Garcon as my WR3, but it didn't even impact my team all that much.

Best part is? I traded my first rounder last season. If I had kept it, I would have had Dez Bryant on top of all that.

Well.....great team, but you couldn't really not come away with a great team with those keepers. Frank Gore I actually am liking the value on this year.....I hate him, but he is just slipping ridiculously far for a guy who went for 1200-8 last year.

Let's get in the habit of listing matchups when asking for lineup advice. I'd flex Maclin though.....don't want to trust the rookie right outta the gate and this is one game we know Vick will be healthy for haha.

I'm down on Mendy, but hey, they say he could be back pretty early. He is certainly rosterable. I'd consider dumping Mike Williams for him. Also, if Turner starts out slow, dangle Jaquizz and see if you can parlay an upgrade at flex.

On a positive note, I'm high on Torrey and Reggie Wayne.

Thanks for the responses. I'm also very meh on this team but I do think Ben will be able to put up some solid numbers passing the ball. He's never really had a good OL (not for awhile anyway) and I feel like his WR options are the best he's had in some time. Not ideal but for where I got him it was a decent pick.

More worried about RB than anything else though I do feel like Mendenhall and David Wilson are solid insurance picks in case Ridley isn't worth a damn.

[Caddy]

Should I pick up Evan Royster in favour of any of the following:

Toby Gerhart
Titus Young
Mike Williams
Jake Locker
Ben Tate

[AHungryWalrus]

Are you thinner at WR or RB? If thinner at WR, I wouldnt add him. If thinner at RB, drop Mike Williams.

[SuperPacker]

Pick 1:

Vincent Jackson vs CAR
Reggie Bush vs HOU
Shonn Greene vs BUF
Reggie Wayne vs CHI

[Paul]

Thoughts on my money league team?

[Docta]

@SP: Bush. He's going to be force-fed.
@Paul: Your starters are fine, but other than Wayne and Freeman, I'm not really diggin' your bench. Henderson went quiet last year after 1 big game. History says MJD's not going to do so good.

If MJD was my 3rd RB.... I would not *****.

[TheRubberDuck45]

Giants defense vs Dallas
or
49ers defense vs Aaron freakin rodgers

[ImBrotherCain]

I would go Giants vs Dallas.

No Witten, Miles could be hurt and I think Dez has been battling an injury.

[ryno626]

I'm pretty lousy at RB but heavy at WR and was looking to make a trade with a guy in my league. Teams have two WR, two RB and a flex (wr/rb) Here's what I have - WR: B Lloyd, M Wallace, D Bowe, E Decker and A Brown and the other guy has M Forte, D McFadden and Doug Martin at RB. His starters at WR are J Nelson and Julio Jones. I also have A Rod as my starting QB so it'd be extra sweet if I can pull Jordy Nelson somehow too.

My RB squad is Mark Ingram, David Martin and Mikel Leshoure (2 game suspension)

+rep for help

[holt_bruce81]

Who's David Martin?

If I were you, with how deep you are at receiver I might try and offer him Dwayne Bowe for Doug Martin.

[ryno626]

David Wilson my bad

Ouch... It would have to be a blockbuster to get something like Jordy and Martin...

I guess you could always try something like M. Wallace (who I hate this season) LeShoure and Decker for Jordy and one of the RB. Although you might have to upgrade the 2nd WR you offer if he declines.

Never start a D against GB or NE.

thats kind of what I was thinking. I just wasnt to sure of the Giants Defense. Or the Dallas offense for that matter.

[scottyboy]

so is the consensus Cutler over Schaub this week?

probably going to be a weekly question, i have them both in like 2 leagues. they just both always seemed to fall

Thats what I am doing with the exact same QBs.

Which seems strange because you are the 3rd person I know with that QB combo.

[SuperPacker]

Cutler is my FF go-to-guy this year. I'd definitely be starting him.

[traced]

12 person money league, standard scoring.

QB Tony Romo, Dal QB
RB LeSean McCoy, Phi RB
RB Jamaal Charles, KC RB
RB/WR Robert Meachem, SD WR
WR Steve Smith, Car WR
WR DeSean Jackson, Phi WR
TE Jimmy Graham, NO TE
D/ST Texans D/ST D/ST
K Matt Bryant, Atl K

Bench Peyton Hillis, KC RB
Bench Donald Brown, Ind RB
Bench David Wilson, NYG RB
Bench Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buf QB
Bench Jermaine Gresham, Cin TE
Bench Mikel Leshoure, Det RB
Bench Russell Wilson, Sea QB

Opinions? Also, who do you guys think I should start at the flex this week - Robert Meachem @ OAK or Donald Brown @ CHI?

[DiG]

miles austin or nicks tonight? .5 ppr

[Bengalsrz]

I go Miles Austin.

Shonne Greene or Santonio Holmes for my week 1 flex in a .5 ppr league?
