    Is it a PPR league?

    Apparently, even when Jones returns (which most likely won't be this week vs Washington), he'll be Murray's backup. Between 2nd String and the Cowboys capability/propensity to pass, I don't think Felix has much value anymore. Of course, if Dallas is playing with big leads, then he'll get more touches, especially in garbage time. Still, I'm not sure he can be trusted to stay healthy when he returns.

    Morris might have a good matchup THIS WEEK against Carolina, but I'm not sure how valuable he is going forward. The Lions also have Keiland Williams and Kevin Smith -- all three will get touches.

    IMO, Morris is more valuable this week, but I guess I'd reluctantly pick Felix over him long-term.

    Thanks man, ended up keepin Felix.

    Id play Tolbert, as bad as NE's D is their Run D is actually pretty good and since I dont expect the Chiefs too move the ball much without Cassel id say youd have a better chance at points with Tolbert. Although both matches kinda suck.

    What's the best way to go with this: Rivers is my QB, but I also have the Bears defense. Since the Chargers are playing the Bears, any points for Rivers will be points away from my defense.

    If I want to replace one of them for the week, the best QB available is probably Matt Moore (vs. BUF), and the best defense is either Cleveland (vs. JAC) or Seattle (@STL). Should I pick one of them up? Or should I just play both Rivers and Chicago hoping that the Bears get enough sacks/fumbles/etc to put some points up.

    I'd start Battle. If anything it might give you a reason to watch the Monday Night game.

    Damnit, maybe I should have gone with Battle. 5 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter, and Tolbert has 2.90 points.

    I figured KC would fall behind early against the Pats and, consequently, Battle wouldn't get many touches. Even so, he'll probably produce more than Tolbert's paltry total (as of now).

    Picked up Kevin Smith off the waiver wire. Should I give him a start in my flex this week? I also have Megatron at one of my WR spots. Other option for flex would be Laurent Robinson. Both have pretty good matchups.

    I'd probably go with Greene.


    AJ Green or Roy Helu standard scoring?

    Flex spot: Heyward-Bey or Jermichael Finley? Finley hasn't done much lately and both D. Moore and Ford out for the Raiders leaving Heyward-Bey and Schillens as starters.

    Green. I don't care what Shanahan says, you can't trust him to give Helu all the touches (plus, the Jets defense is a bad matchup.)

    Should I go with CJ Spiller or Ahmad Bradshaw? Obviously Bradshaw is way better all things being equal, but how many touches is he gonna get?

    Gotta start looking at every value now because every point counts, you're either in the playoffs or in the last week of the season battling for a playoff spot.

    In a PPR league, for my flex spot should I go with:

    Roy Helu vs New England or Anquan Boldin vs Indy?
