Id go with Bush. It's a close call tho especially since its not ppr.

I'm leaning towards Pierre, Antonio and Sidney.

Id Torain, Pierre Thomas, and Antonio Brown. Brown and Torain should both be able to take advantage of extra touches and Thomas is playing the Rams.

I like Lloyd, but he is on my team and Harvin is not....

derza222 · 10-30-2011, 10:59 AM

I like Lloyd as well. Harvin's not playing consistent snaps and just hasn't been that good recently. Lloyd's the top WR on the Rams by a large margin and they should pass a bunch since I'd imagine they'll be playing from behind most of the game.

Beanie Wells is playing @BAL, maybe in a limited role. Do I take out one of my weaker WR's (Crabtree, Little, Antonio Brown) for him in a flex spot or not risk him barely getting the ball against a tough defense?

Only thing that's keeping me from saying Lloyd is that Bradford is out. I think I'd go with Harvin and hope he can make some big plays.

I'd go with Brown this week I think.

Man, this is the worst fantasy football team I've ever had. Granted, it's a 16-team league (most I've ever done is 14) and I really didn't plan ahead very much before the draft, but...geez I've made some real booboos.

A couple weeks ago I dropped Bernard Scott thinking I could just grab him again after that game because I didn't have other players to drop and I had a bad QB situation for that week. Well, turns out that league is set up so you can't drop a guy and pick him back up again, so this week I was stuck with zero RBs (Shonne Greene & Michael Turner on BYEs). So my RBs this weeK? Brian Leonard and Alfonso Smith. Ugh! Also, Bradford's Out again, so I have to roll with Gabbert. This is going to be terrible.

QB: Gabbert
WR: Dwayne Bowe
WR: Eric Decker
WR: Torrey Smith
RB: Brian Leonard
RB: Alfonso Smith
TE: Gronkowski
WTR: Ochocinco

So terrible. I do have options at WR, though. Jonathan Baldwin could be a good play (huge gamble) and Michael Crabtree is also on my bench.

quick help, ppr, return yardage pts --

jason hill vs hou

Splat · 10-30-2011, 06:39 PM

Ray Rice....... :)

Hines · 10-30-2011, 06:44 PM

I'm up by 37 and the other team has DJax, Gates, and Dan Bailey. Am I going to lose??

bantx · 10-30-2011, 06:44 PM

Ray Rice/Big Ben/Bengals defense :D I still have lesean mccoy/desean jackson/dwayne bowe

SuperMcGee · 10-30-2011, 06:45 PM

Thought I had Crabtree in my flex, but then my brother sent me a taunting text about how Ingram was still in there. Fak. I will not lose to him in my big money league. We're pretty much even, I have McCoy and Murray and he has Romo and V-Jax.

RufusMcDaniel · 10-30-2011, 06:48 PM

With GB on a bye, I needed a defence....settle for Buffalo, extremely happy with that decision, especially with my opponent having Detroit defence.

Smooth Criminal · 10-30-2011, 07:29 PM

Damn good week. Peterson and Steven Jackson as my first two picks has finally paid off big the last two weeks. Here's to hoping Murray puts up big numbers tonight so I can play him during Peterson's bye next week and still expect carries if Jones comes back.

wogitalia · 10-30-2011, 10:35 PM

I love the Coyboys Defense!

Head into last game down by 1 point with opponent only having Cowboys defense to play... Walk out a 1 point winner.

Also, I heart Ray Rice and Greg Olsen. 40 of my 67 points between them!

holt_bruce81 · 10-30-2011, 11:45 PM

Is DeMarco Murray now the #1 Running back in Dallas? Or will ge split with Felix?

Tough decisions when Blount comes back.

I'm assuming he'll split with Felix. Murray will get his carries, but Jones is definitely gonna get reps when he can come back.

Paul · 10-31-2011, 09:45 AM

Murray will see the bulk of the carries I would imagine now. 60/40 in Murray's favor.

And as far as fantasy football... it can kiss my ass for the rest of the season. Selling off my players.

DiG · 10-31-2011, 10:26 AM

I need 40 points tonight from Rivers/Mathews. Hopefully Tolbert sits this one out. If I don't pull this out I'll drop to 3-5 which is pretty ridiculous from a squad that starts Rivers, Forte, Mathews, Fitz, Nicks, Miles, and Jimmy Graham...

ATLDirtyBirds · 10-31-2011, 10:46 AM

Tied 88-88 in one of my leagues. I have Jackie Battle going tonight, he was Dwayne Bowe. Ground and pound baby!

Pretty sure Tolbert is not expected to play. Doubtful and missed practice all week, so you should be safe there. Whether or not you can get 40 or not is another story.

I have Battle going in 3 leagues, but only one will matter and it's a similar scenario. I have Battle, he has Bowe and an 8 point lead on me. Time for Jackie to blow up on the biggest stage of his life.

bantx · 10-31-2011, 12:51 PM

Battle will get shutdown. :]

I expect bowe to put up numbers though our secondary has been looking weak. Cason -____-

Anyways I have bowe going tonight too, but I'm really just playing for points to build up my lead now I'm up about 120 points in my match.

bantx · 10-31-2011, 12:53 PM

My recievers

DeSean Jackson
Dwayne Bowe
AJ Green
Pierre Garcon
Heyward Bey

Now AJ green has been the only consistent WR I have, should I try and make a trade for someone more consistent? Desean and Dwayne for someone?

If you can get a true stud, sure. But Bowe seems pretty consistent to me - especially in the last 3 games during their win streak. His first game sucked but he's been a solid 5-7 catches & 70-100 yards otherwise.

It's rare that a team with a top WR would be willing to part with them for two lesser WRs. Do you have a RB / QB you could pair w/a WR?
