Anybody think the Vikings D/ST will stay legit all year? I'm from Minnesota so I'm biased, but I want to know from a neutral party if they are worth a waiver claim. I'm 4th and would move up to 2nd in waivers, but my current defenses are Dallas and NY Jets.

Just traded Ryan Williams and got Demaryius Thomas.

Hell yea. Murray's played against the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rush defenses so far and is still putting up pretty good numbers. Fred Jackson might be the second best fantasy back on his own team.

This is the perfect time to buy Murray relatively low.

holt_bruce81 · 10-03-2012, 12:16 AM

hmm this gives me a little idea...Ryan Mathews for DeMarco? interesting.

I'm panicking because I'm 1-3, even though I've scored more points then the team that's 4-0 and 80 more points then a team that's 3-1. So I really don't need to trade, I'm just pissed off and Ryan Mathews being out carried by Jackie ******* Battle is sooo neat.

Bert Macklin · 10-03-2012, 12:43 AM

In a PPR league who would be better LeShoure or Bell?

Also do I stand a chance this week? I'm on the left.

Grizzlegom · 10-03-2012, 08:38 AM

This may be a dumb question but...which one would you bench? PPR League

Reggie Bush @ Cin
Matt Forte @ Jax
Torrey Smith @ KC
Brian Hartline @ Cin
Larry Fitzgerald @StL
Jamaal Charles vs. Bal

I tried to tell you yesterday... but your homerism blinds you. You have to bench Hartline.

ImBrotherCain · 10-03-2012, 08:46 AM

Right now in my toy with **** spot on my roster who do I take for a possible Flex play this week? Also who would be better long term?

Brandon Bolden or Randall Cobb

Grizzlegom · 10-03-2012, 08:51 AM

Just realized the only TE on my opponent's roster is Witten. Swiftly picked up the only TE in FA worth a damn in Gresham so now if he decides to pick up a TE, his best options are Fasano, Marcedes, and Kellen Davis.

Yea I know, I moved Hartline to the bench already because I know that's the smart play. Just tough to bench a guy coming off that kind of week, especially against a team that had 2 CBs on the active roster last week and are really hurting in the secondary. The problem is, I like all the other matchups too. The only other option I see is benching Fitz or Forte but rule number 1 is to always play your studs.

Jvig43 · 10-03-2012, 09:04 AM

So I need to figure out who to put in for my flex this week between Desean, Hixon, Hartline, Steven jackson, Andre Brown. The last two I figured I'd sit, and am trying to decide about Desean at Pitts (feel like thats a tough matchup) and Hixon and Hartline with much easier matchups.

scottyboy · 10-03-2012, 09:20 AM

I'd probably go Hartline over Hixon, it's just so hard to bench him at this point.

then again, I could see Hixon having another big game against cleveland, it's a tough one.

Also, with my ****** RB situation with 2 of my 3 having bye weeks, I picked up Jackie Battle. Thoughts? I had an offer Jacquizz for Rudolph (while I have Graham and Gronk). I feel like Battle's just as likely to get as many, if not more, touches than Jacquizz

Bert Macklin · 10-03-2012, 09:39 AM

Battle is a good pickup for a bye. He'll vulture goalinew situations that's for sure.

that's what I thought. Now, I know the whole play your studs thing, but apparently the tits have gotten KILLED by te's this year, but it'd be stupid to start Rudolph over Graham or Gronk, right?

Look at last week. Lions were 2nd worst vs. TE, Rudolph didn't have a big week. Not saying he won't this week, but no way I ever start him over Graham/Gronk.

Don Vito · 10-03-2012, 10:00 AM

Non PPR who should I flex: Bradshaw, Ryan Williams, decker, or Greg Jennings. I am staring Alfred Morris and Ryan Mathews at RB and Aemendola and Antonio brown At wr. Suggestions please.

Does that mean I shouldn't start Kolb over Rodgers? But Kolb is playing STL!

yeah, I'm not gonna do it, just can't ever bench your studs like that. That's massively over-thinking

Jennings might be out. Bradshaw has a decent match up vs Cleveland, Ryan Williams has a good match up vs STL and Decker has a pretty good match up vs NE.

I would say Decker, Bradshaw or Williams leaning Decker or Bradshaw... Probably Decker though.

Bert Macklin · 10-03-2012, 10:14 AM

Would it be smart to pick up Javhid Best now before he comes back? Well be be the main guy?

I would hold back for a bit... at best he will probably split time with LeShoure and its not like he is getting a ton of carries as is.

BaLLiN · 10-03-2012, 10:24 AM

thoughts on trading lance moore, mikel leshoure, demarco murray, and kyle rudolph for ray rice and antonio brown?

Non PPR, 2 WR spots and flex so best combo of the 3 would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaning towards Wallace, Bowe and Lloyd but between the five of them they are projected to score the same amount of points.

I haven't had any luck moving any of the guys for RB because that's my weakness.

I'd play Decker over Lloyd. It's pretty close, though.

I ended up getting James Jones (vs IND) through waivers, is he worth a start over any of the above or better off stashing him on the bench? FWIW I have A Rodgers as my starting QB
