    Is anyone available on waivers?

    Grossman or Newton?

    can start 2 of Blount, Bradshaw, and Marshall

    sat Marshall last week, have Blount on the bench now but mostly because I am angry with him

    If it's a 2QB league I doubt Newton or probably even Grossman are available.
    Worth a shot looking around waivers though.

    I think there are two starting qb's left on the waiver wire. Both worse than what I have.

    Yeah gradkowski and Jackson are all that's left on the waiver wire. So really only one starter.

    Stash the rookie QB from Jacksonville if QBs are hard to come by. He will probably be starting in a couple weeks.

    If you have any trash on your bench, I'd take a shot on Bruce Gradkowski for a week.

    Cassel is a fag and Smith is an even bigger fag.

    Yes they are, I went weak on my second qb because I have Rodgers as my #1. I was hoping cassel could just be mediocre for me and I have smith just because I didn't wanna be left out in the cold on bye weeks.

    Pick 2

    Mike Williams (TB) vs MIN (VJAX got shut down last game by MIN)
    MJD vs Jets
    Jabar Gaffney vs the terrible ARI Defense.

    Start Lewis if he is healthy. Until the Jets can prove otherwise TEs are an achilles heel of the defense.

    Watson has a younger TE to share catches with that may eventually put him on the bench.

    i wouldn't base minnesota's pass defense on one game. technically antonio gates didn't do much either, but rivers threw for 300+ yards.

    MJD and Mike Williams. I expect a bounceback game from the tampa bay offense

    marshall will get touches. blount isn't an every down back so if they fall behind he's non existent.

    i'd keep it how you have it. they're all pretty good plays potentially

    Choose 1 QB (standard scoring):

    Fitz V OAK
    Orton V. Cin
    Bradford @ NYG

    I might be screwed at wide receiver this week. These are my guys:

    Dez Bryant (considered questionable; plays at 4 o'clock)
    Santonio Holmes (considered questionable; plays at 1 o'clock)
    Julio Jones (could be covered by Asomugha; plays at 8 o'clock)
    Jordy Nelson (already starting over Jones; plays at 1 o'clock)
    Greg Little (not starting; plays at 1 o'clock)

    Here's my dilemma, my top two WRs are considered questionable this week. Holmes I should know whether he's playing or not tomorrow morning but Bryant I probably won't know about until around 3 o'clock. Fortunately, I already made the decision to start Nelson over Jones this week because there's a pretty good chance that Jones is going to be covered by Asomugha. It works for me because if Bryant can't play at 4 tomorrow I can put Jones (who doesn't play until 8) in for him. My problem is that if Holmes doesn't play, I'll have to put Jones in for him (there's no way I'm playing Little). Then if Bryant doesn't play I'm going to need to pick someone off waivers at the last minute that doesn't play before 4 to fill in for him. Now the idea that I'm mulling over right now is picking up Domenik Hixon. My opponent has Hakeem Nicks and if he doesn't play on Monday he's probably going to want to pick up Hixon to replace him. Obviously he won't be able to do that if he's on my roster. If Nicks does play, I can drop Hixon right before the game and pick up another receiver from that game (probably Greg Salas since Brandon Gibson is already owned). What do you think? Should I pick up a different receiver?
