Leshoure/Ridley

Ridley has the best chance to score of the 4 and Reece will catch more passes.

I'm having trouble sitting Bryant as of late for Mathews despite him looking good. Chargers offense just isn't consistent enough for me to feel confident going forward with him.

I misunderstood. Swap Bryant for Nicks and its all good.

If he's a no go its Reece but only if DMC is still out.

Quote:

NEWS: Updating an earlier item, Mikel Leshoure missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

ANALYSIS: In other words, he should return on Thursday, and is in no danger of missing Sunday's game. Leshoure is averaging just 3.9 yards per carry, but has found the end zone five times in Detroit's past four games. As the clear cut goal-line back in a high-scoring offense, he's a strong weekly flex play.

Out of Lloyd, Garcon, Decker, Moore and Hartline, who should I start(3 spots). And should McFadden get the nod over either Ridley or Morris(I'm thinking no)?

Garçon/Decker/Moore and hell no.

Brown and all of those WRs over Mathews/Jackson. Mathews has a bad matchup and hasn't been anything to write home about. Jackson is going against the 49ers.

*Using your best NBA JAM voice:* Nicks is heating up! Bryant is on FIRE!

Wayne and Marshall are too good to sit.

Yes. I'm benching him for Brown. My real quandary is do I play Wells or Mathews or Reece in the flex.

Bleh. Both matchups are bad but I'd probably go with the "start your studs" clause. Late in the season it's a must.

Bert Macklin · 11-28-2012, 02:12 PM

Or maybe roll with Marcedes Lewis?

Leshoure and Ridley for me, too. Bert's note is the first I've seen on Leshoure's day off. It's obviously worth monitoring, but he's a better start than Mathews (more consistent offense) and Reece (assuming his touches decline.)

I agree w/Bert. Garcon/Decker/Moore and no on McFadden. He's never been one to play through injuries so he must show up before he gets back into my lineup.

Nah. Too cute for me with a playoff berth on the line. Not with Gates on the roster. It would sting too much to bench him for a 2TD performance.

Jvig43 · 11-28-2012, 02:28 PM

So I guess my only other question is start Olsen vs KC or Myers at Cle, Cle giving up the least amount of points to TEs this season. God I wish Gronk wasn't hurt.

themaninblack · 11-28-2012, 02:37 PM

Alright, pick 4 please (3wr, 1 flex):
Bowe VS CAR
Torrey Smith VS PIT
Hakeem Nicks @ WAS
Greg Jennings VS MIN
Cecil Shorts @ BUF
Justin Blackmon @ BUF

Jennings is back apparently btw.

I like Olsen.

He's back on a supposedly "limited" snap count.

This week I'd roll with Shorts/Blackmon/Nicks and probably put Jennings in my flex

Myers has a terrible matchup. Olsen's is far better and Cam has been pretty efficient the last few weeks. I'd go Olsen, too.

Got to assume Jennings is 100% since he's been out so long. I'd start him, Nicks, Shorts and Blackmon. Bowe is in a Brady Quinn wasteland and Pitt is top 5 vs. the pass.

I haven't seen anything about him being limited, in fact rotoworld said he probably could've played last week. Thanks for the input though.

From today.

Quote:

Greg Jennings - WR - Packers

NEWS: Greg Jennings (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

ANALYSIS: Out since Week 4, Jennings will almost certainly be on a snap count against the Vikings, but with James Jones falling off the radar of late, it shouldn't take him long to make his presence felt. Although Jennings could be in for 1-2 slow weeks from a fantasy perspective, he needs to be 100 percent owned with the playoffs nearly upon us.

Roto is one of the sources for the "snap count" but I expect to see something more like Mathews when he went through the same deal. Was supposed to play but was held out last minute and then the next week was getting a full workload. You know if Jennings comes out hot his snap count is probably out the window.

Either way, I like him on a snap count better than Bowe.
Torrey is a guy I like but it's just an awful matchup. I could see benching a Jaguars WR so you're not getting boned by a giant flop performance by that offense, though.

Bert Macklin · 11-28-2012, 03:25 PM

**** me in the ass.

Quote:

NEWS: Updating an earlier item, Mikel Leshoure missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, not an illness.

ANALYSIS: The Detroit News incorrectly reported that Leshoure was out with an illness. Leshoure's Week 13 status is now in doubt after he missed the overtime period of last Thursday's loss. It's unclear if Leshoure is dealing with a high or garden-variety sprain, but considering coach Jim Schwartz's history with injury information, we're unlikely to find out. We'll have to read the tea leaves on Leshoure's Week 13 status. For now, they'll suggest he'll be out. That would leave Joique Bell as the lead dog in Detroit's backfield, with Kevin Smith being sprinkled in.

DiG · 11-28-2012, 04:06 PM

So if Leshoure sits and DMac plays, do I roll with Ryan Matthews or Moreno in .5ppr...If DMac sits then Ill go with Reece.

Man Mathews and Moreno both go against good defenses but I'd roll with the upside with Mathews and can totally see someone playing Moreno instead.

You must spread some rep around before giving it to FlyingElvis again.

RCAChainGang · 11-29-2012, 04:50 AM

Okay I need some help with my lineup this week. 1PPR

Pick 2 RBs and 1 Flex option: Forte v Seattle, BGE @ SD, Beanie Wells @ NYJ, Rashad Jennings @ Buf, Marcel Reece v Cleveland, Lance Moore @ Atl, TY Hilton @ Detroit.

Hines · 11-29-2012, 05:38 AM

Quiz or Ridley? Which one should be a better play? Quiz still has Turner and Ridley is going against a solid run defense.
