    I'll Start:

    TE Pickup: The waiver wire is picked pretty clean and I need a one week fill-in for Julius Thomas. Clay & Fleener are the highest rated TEs left. The rookie TEs are available: ASJ, Ebron & Amaro, as is Cumberland. I'm picking through garbage hoping on lucks out and gets a TD.

    I'm thinking Fleener is the safest bet to give me something. If Decker can't go, I'm intrigued by taking a flyer on Amaro, but that's probably just homerism.

    ...

    Flex Start: Trent Richardson vs Tenn, Watkins @ Hou, Pierce vs Car, Hyde vs Phi

    Im in the same situation as you with Julius in a 14 teamer. I picked up Mychal Rivera. Might change to Clay. ASJ could come out of nowhere this wk, just gotta check if he's gonna finally be playing.

    Your Flex if it's ppr Watkins if not I might go Richardson.

    If you wanna pick Jets TE, go with Cumberland, he sees more targets.
    Flex - Watkins or Hyde. I'd go with Hyde as I expect HOU to put lots of pressure on Pit O.

    Both are going against good defenses. It is a coin toss at this point really but just because Houston plays at home, I would go with Hopkins.

    Thanks, that's what I'm thinking but his QB is so bad, but there's no one else there to catch the ball other than Johnson.

    True. QB is a concern for Houston. Thinking about it more, maybe Chip will use Sproles to break the 49ers secondary. Could be. Really tough call. Go with your gut Stokes.

    How do you feel about not playing a defense this week? I have Denver on bye and I picked up nick Novak as my kicker to replace hauskcha for the week.

    I'll post my matchup then my roster. IMO I don't see anyone droppable and I feel pretty confident in my team where I don't need a defense. Am I crazy?

    If I see it'll be a close matchup throughout the 4 pm gsmes I could just drop them and pick up a DST that hasn't played yet in the 2 late games (snf+mnf).

    Yes, you are crazy. Drop Alfred Blue, or Matt Asita and pick up a damn defense.

    Is San Diego Available in your league?

    If they are pick them up ASAP, as they are play one of the worst teams in the NFL and a rookie QB.

    Flex in a 0.5 points per reception league

    Stevie Johnson or Pierre Thomas?

    Thanks

    Pierre Thomas if you ask me. SF isn't utilizing SJ as much as I thought they would.

    My desperate question.

    I have 3 WR's and 2RB's on bye

    My Flex choices are Roy Helu, Andre Williams and Charles Clay.

    Who should I go with?

    I cut Blount this week because my kicker and defense are on a bye so I needed backups.

    Or he could just drop Hauschka if he doesn't want to drop one of his 'eight' running backs.

    They aren't available. Very competitive league so the wire is absolutely torn thru.
    After cousins performance tonight I'm definitely going to pick someone up. Maybe Pittsburgh vs Tampa. Only thing that worries me is how banged up they got vs Carolina.

    On a side note -- why would you ever drop asiata? He's getting 15+ touches a week as the starting running back for Minnesota :rolleyes:

    How well is he doing?

    I thought his fantasy value was along the lines of Bobby Rainy or something.

    Horrible YPC but he isn't droppable. He's a solid rb3 (13.5 and 7.5 ppg). He's just touchdown dependent.
