Keep a close eye on Forte and McFadden. Right now I'd lean towards Beanie, Jennings, and Moore. If McFadden/Goodson sit then I'd probably roll with Reece over Jennings.

Problem with Forte is he gets vultured on goaline situations.

Also with Leshoure do I just bench him anyway even if he can go? Ankle injuries are tricky and if he goes and aggrivates it and has to come out I'm ******. Might just start Mathews in his place anyway.

God I hate Fantasy Football. I have an awesome team. Peyton Manning, Demaryious Thomas, Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, Larry Fitzgerald, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, C.J. Spiller, Reggie Bush, & Jason Witten. I am 2nd in the league in points. And what does that get me? A 3-9 record good for last place.

So YOU'RE the guy everyone has a career day against.

[Jvig43]

Hahaha yeah man thats rough but thats fantasy football for you. The kid currently in 1st place has about 100 points less than the top 6 teams in our league. Thats basically a weeks worth of points in our league, yet he has the best record. Sometimes schedules just help you out and sometimes they **** you.

Yep, three weeks in a row I was the number two scorer. I just happened to play the top scorer in the league.

[Bert Macklin]

Any advice on my Leshoure situation?

Also thoughts on Josh Gordon this week?

Leshoure (if healthy)
Moreno
Reece (if McFadden is out)
Mathews

Moreno vs. Leshoure is a close call. Moreno has a tough matchup rushing but Tampa is awful against the pass so he will be solid catching and get the benefit of a loose D when Manning starts carving up that defensive backfield. Moreno might just be the best play of the bunch, either way. I certainly think he's the safest.

I'm staying away from the Oakland backfield this week. Though I may be in a pinch if Leshoure is actually banged up vs. just getting some rest.

BJGE, Beanie and either Forte or Moore. I tend to lean RB but Forte is clearly a bit of a headache to own right now.

Ridley. Don't overthink it.

This isn't the first time Leshoure has missed a day. I'd wait and see if he practices today. There's just not much to like about Mathews.

Gordon has pretty consistent targets but I'd only start him if I were desperate.

[Jvig43]

Mathews has been a huge disappointment this season, go with the consistent guys, Leshoure has been much more solid.

And agree with the Gordon advice, if you have no one else sure but other wise sit him.

[Bert Macklin]

Gah. I'm somewhat a projection ***** and I feel weird starting Eledman (6.8) over Fitz (16.2) and Gordon (18.7).

[Jvig43]

I don't pay attention what so ever to projections. Foster in my league gets projected like 40 points every week and barely manages to get half of that. Mathews was Yahoos 4th best projected player as well....lol.

[FlyingElvis]

Yeah, if it's yahoo that **** needs to be ignored (not that other sites are any better - it's all arbitrary.) I've got a 10-2 team that consistently demolishes the projections and a 5-7 team that never sniffs them.

[Bert Macklin]

Lawdy Lawd Leshoure back at practice!!!!!!!

[RCAChainGang]

I think my luck with Reece has run out. He was such a work horse for around 3 weeks...

That's depressing. Now I have to turn back to Forte, BGE, or R. Jennings

[Cigaro]

Should I keep Blair Walsh or Robbie Gould as my kicker? I picked up Gould for Walsh's bye week, but have since met the ridiculous dilemma of deciding which to keep. Gould is regularly projected to score more, but Walsh is the one actually putting up more points. I don't really care to carry both any further.

I picked up The Blair Walsh Project in week 3 and haven't looked back.

BJGE will be a nice start down the stretch. His only bad matchup is Pitt and they're not a stud rush D anymore. Plus his OC was just saying how he was too quick to abandon the run game while BJGE & Scott were hurt. Forte has nice matchups to finish the season, too.

Walsh. The numbers don't lie. He also has only one outdoor game left @ Green Bay this week, followed by dome/dome/retractable. Gould has two home games (Windy City!) and two domes.

[Rob S]

So, just flipped Beanie for MJD in a league where I have a playoff spot (and probable bye) locked up. My RB stable is now: Arian Foster, Jamaal Charles, MJD. I am excite.

Jacquizz, Fred-Ex or David Wilson?

It's tough to argue against Fred when he should be the leader of those 3 in terms of touches. I'd go Fred if you need reliable points and Jaquizz if you need a big upside guy in your lineup. The Saints DST is by far the best matchup among those 3 RBs (and really any RB b/c the Saints are so bad.)

[BaLLiN]

I think im gunna go with this lineup this week, any suggestions?

would you drop lance moore for Pierre Garcon also?

[DiG]

i would drop moore for garcon. garcons has much higher upside. although moore certainly could have a couple decent games.

is your league ppr?

[Bert Macklin]

Thank you Brees for ******* sucking ass today.

[DiG]

Someone needs to tell Matt Ryan it's the last week before playoffs!!!@! I mean come on the Saints pass D is awful! And what the f is happening with Jimmy Graham!
