Pick 1 PPR

Donald Brown vs. MIN

Willis McGahee @ ATL.

Decker and Colston. Same team or not, the Saints pass a lot.

Brown. Though I'll be honest - I'm a little concerned that he didn't have any catches last week when the Colts were playing from behind. 2 drops maybe was enough for Luck to ignore him? IDK, but I still like him to get more carries vs. Minnesota than he did vs. the Bears.

Pick 3

Steven Jackson vs. Washington
Demarco Murray vs. Seattle
Adrian Peterson vs. Indianapolis
Jamaal Charles vs. Buffalo

Peterson and Murray. They're clear cut #1 RBs for their teams and studs, at that. I love Jackson but can't sit either of these two for him.

[K Train]

So i would like some advice

I have

Cam Newton
Mcfadden
Sproles
Calvin
Bowe
Fred Davis
Raiders DST against the dolphins
and Greg the ************* leg Zuerlien

I still need a flex guy.

I have on my bench:
Injured Fred Jackson :'-(
Stephen Hill
Emmanual Sanders (could be big with cro probably on wallace and revis probably on brown)
Ryan Williams
Mike Williams
David Wilson
Mike Goodson
Justin Blackmon

thoughts on flex?

I am between Sanders and Hill... although I think Sanders is the safer play with Hill being big point potential.

[K Train]

I feel like Hill, Sanders, Mike Williams and Justin Blackmon all have interesting matchups

Hill playing a steelers defense that just got raped twice by a GT WR, not that that has anything to do with anything it just stings.

Sanders was targeted by ben a bunch last week and i think could have the best matchup against the jets

Mike Williams is going against a banged up NY secondary

Justin Blackmon is playing in a game that is likely to be a blowout and might get a lot of points as gabbery blindly chucks the ball playing catchup

Torrey's value takes a bit of a hit in PPR (though I will be wrong on that if they continue throwing as much as they did Sunday.) I'd be fine shipping Ridley for Nicks in that deal, too.

With all that said, I'm not sure I even see reason to make this move. I like Ridley, though, so that's a big part of it. Charles / Bush / Ridley / McCluster looks like a nice RB core for a PPR league.

Reggie's situation worries me but I'm gonna keep what I have I think.

Man I love this thread.

[ImBrotherCain]

This is the most bustling this thread has been since i have been on the site. This has become my new go to thread of late.

[Jakey]

Who would you rather have...Stephen Hill or Brandon LaFell? Standard scoring.

Tough choice imo.

I agree w/you and Cain on the top 3 choices. I will be surprised if Hill looks as good this week but, in this case, would not ignore the production. The Jets haven't been a good passing team but they've had garbage targets. Hill looked like he could easily turn into a beast when he blew up the combine. I'd roll the dice that maybe he's the real deal and start him.

It is. I'm pretty happy with how busy it has been. Feed my mutha****** addiction!

I like BJGE. If he can do it against the Ravens he can do it against the the Browns. Especially considering the Bengals should be able to run all day without worrying about playing catchup.

Yea, everyone saying Flacco and I think my head is telling me the same. The only reason I'm considering sticking with Vick is because the league gives .25 points per completion so despite Vick's horrid performance, he still scored on par with Flacco last week because he threw sooooo many passes.

Don't think it will happen this week man; Maclin questionable, DJax dinged up, Ravens secondary looked good last week. I think they'll roll with Shady untill the wheels fall off this week, play the time of possession game.

I think the Ravens will run allot this week too, try and slow down the eagles pass rush + avoid the eagles corners. I see Flacco completing allot of high-percentage throws this week, looking for Boldin, Rice and the TE's often.

[Bert Macklin]

Just made this trade is it good?

He gets: Andre Johnson + T-Richardson

I get: MJD + Dex McCluster

Now do I start Malcolm Floyd or Stephen Hill?

Edit: I was SUPER desperate for a RB I had Curtis Brinkley starting...

Agreed. It's tough not to expect a bounce back from Vick. But then you see all his weapons hurt, he's hurt, he's up against another nasty DST . . . too many issues this week.

When looking at Flacco, I see a guy with an offensive coordinator that has always wanted to chuck it around an now looks like that's a decent play based on the roster.

I was desperate and it showed. Live and learn my first time playing ff.

[bantx]

I'm hoping cleveland realizes they shouldn't let Weeden throw as much as he did and just let triche at up some yardage but I have Martin starting over trich this week.

Ask us buddy lol... I am almost positive there is always someone one to answer your questions.

I would have asked for something better the McCluster if you got someone like a Lloyd or other 3rd WR or fringe 2nd it would have been better.

It's a hefty price if you consider draft position, which I don't.
It's a hefty price if you think Richardson will have a rookie year like Peterson, which I don't.

My biggest concern with this deal is the health & effectiveness of MJD after his heavy workload last year and holdout this year. Then again, AJ carries his own injury concerns.

Richardson is overvalued, plain and simple. He will be wildly inconsistent b/c the Browns still have no receiving threats to take pressure off the run game.

It's a decent move to shore up a weak RB core.

I'm assuming McCluster can be played as a RB. So he moved a WR+RB to get two startable RBs.

fred davis, jared cook, or scott chandler?

Thats a toughie... I would say Cook or Chandler.

Cook is likely to get more yards but Chandler is a TD machine.

[K Train]

i traded DHB for Fred davis after cooley got cut, hoping RG3 acts like a normal rookie and loves to throw to his TE eventually. I think im leaning towards chandler this week tho

[FlyingElvis]

Fred was a big disappointment, that's for sure. His matchup is a nice one so I would be fine playing him and, if he still does nothing, benching from there. I do like Chandler, too, though. A good matchup, Nelson to IR freeing up some extra targets, and the hopes that Fitz bounces back. Still, it's early in the season and I'm not a big proponent of starting a player from the 'late round flier' and/or waiver wire categories.

[K Train]

most of my leagues i have fleener whos just my dude this year at TE, this one i found myself scrambling to get a TE late

[K Train]

revis ruled out on sunday. That makes sanders look like an awesome flex play to me now
