Pick one:

Mikel Leshoure vs Titans
Larry Fitzgerald vs Eagles
Torrey Smith vs Patriots
Kevin Ogletree vs Bucs (who just allowed 500+ passing yards to the Giants)

Non PPR:

Should I start Alfred Morris or Jamaal Charles this week?

I would probably go with Morris.

Pick 3

Santonio Holmes vs Miami
Kevin Ogletree vs Tampa
Anquan Boldin vs NE
Donnie Avery vs Jax

Gross I know but Garcon and Maclin are out :(

G. Jennings @ SEA
or
Crabtree @ MIN

Accidentally started JStew even though he was declared out days ago. F these Thursday night games, really rustlin' mah jimmies.

derza222 · 09-22-2012, 09:27 AM

With Nicks out this week pick 1 (no PPR):

Hankerson vs. CIN (taking Garcon's spot this week)
Collie vs. JAC (assuming he's cleared to play)
Kendall Wright vs. DET

Rob S · 09-22-2012, 09:57 AM

CJ Spiller & Julio Jones for Arian Foster......who wins?

derza222 · 09-22-2012, 10:22 AM

Tons of upside if you get Spiller/Julio but it's a lot safer if you get Foster. Depends if you're a risk taker - if Spiller holds onto his job when F-Jax comes back I think it's a clear win for the side that's trading Foster, but if not it's a clear win for the side that gets Foster. So I guess it depends how you think things will shake out in Buffalo's backfield. Big gamble either way.

I tend to agree with everything above, thanks.

Also, I'm obviously trying to do some 2 for 1's to get elite talent, but I'm struggling. What are some realistic targets I should be going for and what would be willing to deal for them?

No question Bowe has to be in the lineup with that matchup. I'd sit Charles until the KC offense proves they have a startable RB.

I'm not a big fan of Mike Bush. He is a decent start but I think he's highly overrated. I don't like Charles better and McGahee's matchup isn't great, but I could see playing McGahee over both and going 3 WRs.

Trade . . . clearly RB is what you need to upgrade. Charles or McGahee + DeSean or Fitz should be able to land just about any WR you want. McGahee + DeSean, especially, since they're both putting up good numbers thus far. If I were RB needy I'd take those two for any WR I had. After trying to sell you the WR I wanted least, of course.

Celek is a nice option with Maclin out again. I'd go him and Mathews. But I could understand playing DMC even in a bad matchup. Mathews is a little scary since he could be eased back into a full load.

Tough to sit Fitz. The Cards should look to feed him this week. LeShoure is a wildcard with a great matchup but that's an awfully risky play.

Don't get caught up in names or draft postions. Morris is a much better play than Charles.

Boldin is a nice sleeper start this week with the expectation that NE will focus on Rice and Pitta. I go with him, Holmes and Avery.

Jennings. Keep an eye on the active lists, though.

Rolling the dice, either way. Hank's got the best matchup.

High risk move. I agree it could pay off big but that team you have is sick and you're better off getting the 1 in a 2 for 1.

RaiderNation · 09-22-2012, 05:47 PM

Vincent Jackson vs DAL or Percy Harvin vs SF? For some reason I think Harvin might have a very good yardage game against SF.

Harvin, man. He'll get his, SF or not. V-Jax is a rollercoaster.

holt_bruce81 · 09-22-2012, 06:22 PM

Is Danny Amendola a legit fantasy starter? I mean he's obviously Sam's favorite target, will probably get around 10 targets every game. Is it crazy to be thinking about trading a Torrey Smith for him? Just scary because Torrey can have those games where he looks like an absolute monster.

Harvin is a beast. So far in his career he looks fairly matchup proof, too. I think the 49ers will take that game w/the Bucs over and Jackson will see plenty of targets playing from behind, but I still like Harvin better.

Amendola is definitely a starter if it's ppr. If not, I don't trust that offense enough. He's still a starter as a studly WR3 and will have big games, I'm sure. Obviously it depends on your WR core, but I don't see him as a must start guy in standard. Think Wes Welker in his "usual" years where he doesn't get a lot of TDs. You are likely getting a guy who is a lock for 6/60 and that's a nice reliable number for a WR3 (non-ppr.)

For example: I'm sitting him in a 0.5ppr but it's because I have Harvin / Wayne / D.Thomas as my starting 3.

Should I flex Jamaal Charles, Eric Decker, or BJGE? .5 ppr

Tough choices. Charles has the best matchup and big play upside. BJGE is the consistent, reliable scorer with a tough matchup.

I'd go Charles. But, if you have a group of boom/bust guys in your lineup already, BJGE is the better choice. Depends on what you think you need based on your other starters, really.
