    Need some help with this one. 1/2 ppr

    I'm going against a very poor team who is starting Tony Romo at QB

    His team is as follows

    Romo
    Calvin
    Julio Jones
    Arian Foster
    Benjarvis Green Ellis
    Ryan Matthews
    Nick Folk
    Green Bay

    My roster I was going to start in order to play this week safe was

    Stafford
    Austin
    L-Robinson
    Felix Jones
    Rice
    Mcgahee
    Crosby
    Tenn Defense

    I told myself that as long as Julio didn't have an amazing game this was the roster I was going to play and 99 time out of 100 I will most likely win.

    But, as we all know Julio had a monster game. The question is do I still start Austin? It was said that Dez Bryant is going to be shadowed by Talib which helps out Austin and Laurent. Romos going to have a great day and it would be nice to counteract his points with having two of his receivers and felix, but Austin is risky. Would you start Stevie Johnson instead?

    For some reason everyone is ranking Stevie high this week and I'm having a hard time trusting him after his last performance against MIA.

    I also have Moss and Lance Moore


    What should I do? An explanation would be great as well.

    There is no way you should start two running backs. I would definitely play Robinson as none of those guys are going to rush for 100 yds.

    The guy with the most upside and now that I think of it the best pick is Kevin Smith. He is a good runner and catches so many balls out of the backfield

    I'd just go all out and take the Giants wrs. The Balt game is going to be a shorter game due to alot of running with Baltimore up.

    Try to get Ryan Matthews out of your lineup if possible.

    Need Two

    AP vs NO.
    Mike Bush vs Oak.
    Sproles @ Min.
    Reggie Bush @ Buf
    Bradshaw vs. Washington

    AP is pretty much a lock, but the other one is up for grabs

    Got myself a doozy of a decision for my championship. Pick 3 in PPR
    Calvin
    Steve Smith (CAR)
    AJ Green
    Antonio Brown

    Calvin is a must start but the other 3 I'm in a complete toss up for who to play in the other 2 spots

    I'd probably go with Calvin, Smith, and Brown if Ben plays. If not, than AJ.

    Here's my situation. PPR league.

    I have CJ Spiller who can be played at RB or WR. Are any of my players worth benching for him? If he didnt have a monster game last week it probably wouldnt be a debate.

    RB - Adrian Peterson
    RB - Ray Rice
    R/B - Michael Turner
    WR - Mike Wallace
    WR - Steve Smith

    I'm leanin more towards benching Brown since AJ will light up the ARI secondary if he plays, which it seems like he will.

    Mike Wallace is the only one I'd consider sitting for Spiller and it's a toss up if you ask me. He's going to get alot of touches against DEN and Wallace seems to have fallen behind Brown at this point. I'd go for it but wouldn't be surprised if it didnt work out as well

    Mike Wallace (hear Ben may not play)

    Santonio Holmes who vows to turn things around this week.

    If Ben doesn't play, I'd assume they'll be running the ball much more, so I'd say Holmes is a safer play with a good matchup.

    RB: Reggie Bush (@ NE) or Greene (vs. NYG)?
    WR: Plax (vs. NYG) or Malcolm Floyd (@ DET)?

    So which WRs do I start? Need 3. DeSean Jackson, Heyward-Bey, Laurent Robinson, Jabar Gaffney, David Nelson, or Denarius Moore.

    Need One
    Crabtree @Sea, Doucet @ CIN, or Gaffney vs. Min

    Need Two
    AP @ Washington, Mike Bush @ KC, Spoles vs Atl, Reggie Bush @ NE, or Bradshaw @ NYJ

    With Ben not starting today... Mike Wallace or CJ Spiller? PPR. Leaning towards Spiller.

    It's a tough one, I'd still go Wallace since I think he willpower get alot of targets but its a gamble either way.

    I'd go Crabtree, AP, and Sproles (although I thibk Bush could have a similar game).

    Robinson, Jackson, and the thirds a gamble. Really pick anyone you feel the most confident for the last one.

    Down by almost 50, so I'm willing to take a risk of the potential reward is higher.

    FLEX:

    Felix Jones @ NYG
    Ryan Mathews @ OAK

    I'm leaning towards Mathews since Romo is my QB. I want to maximize my potential points. Good or no?
