    Steve Smith

    If you do that I hope it works out because I have him starting today in my main league.

    I benched Wayne to start Steve Smith.

    I am sad.


    I did have Luck and Donald Brown in my lineup. That makes me glad.

    I would go with Wayne...hes been lighting it up. Cro played well last week but hes no #24. Plus you know that Luck will have all day to throw.

    Denver D is good...Rivers might have a tough time.

    Alright...tough choice

    Romo vs Ravens - Ravens pass D has struggled but this is Romo were talking about
    or
    Kolb @ home vs Buffalo who has the worst pass D in football

    Really need help on this one fellas.

    I'm not sure who to strart at my flex , I want to go with either Jacob Tamme or Kendall Wright. Tamme seems like the easier name to go with but Wright has been a solid PPR guy ( which my league is, .5 per reception).

    Any answer by tonight would be great.

    I have a similar dilemma this week choosing between Romo and Alex Smith against a bad Giants secondary.

    I'd play Romo over Kolb though, especially since the Cardinals' offensive line is as bad if not worse than the Bills' defense, they have no running game and Kolb can always go back to sucking on any given week.

    Schaub vs. Baltimore
    or
    Sanchez vs. NE

    I'm leaning word Schaub with all of Baltimore's injuries.

    It depends on whether you think you need to gamble, Schaub is the safe pick but his upside is limited cause they'll also be able to run on the de-fanged Ravens too, while Sanchez could boom or bust. He's almost as likely to put up 250-300 yards on a bad Pats secondary and a couple of garbage-time TD's as he is to throw for 80 yards and two-three picks.

    I'm down to William Powell and Martellus Bennett for my flex, thoughts? Just stick with Powell since Bennett still looks hurt? (I have Gronk as my starting TE, McCoy/Malcom Floyd on byes, Jennings hurt so I'm pretty much stuck with these two).

    Andrew Luck or Matt Stafford?

    Luck plays Browns, Stafford plays Bears.

    With Mendenhall out and McCoy on a bye I really need help in my RB spot. Whos the best play? Ballard vs Browns, Dwyer vs Cinci, or Andre Brown vs Redskins (if Bradshaw is out)?

    Of those three, go with Ballard. None excite me, though. I'd rather take Phillip Tanner. Figure he's good for 8-12 carries if Felix Jones makes it through the game. If Jones gets injured, then Tanner might get 15 or more carries.

    I'm actually playing Jones, so Tanner is a no go. I was leaning towards Ballard so I appreciate you clearing that up.

    I'm in a very tricky spot this week. It's going to take a lot of fantasy knowledge/predicting to get the set of backs/WR's/flex that will get me the most points. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Here's what I'm working with. I'm in a pretty expensive (by my standards) 12 person league and I could use all the advice I could get. My dilema is centered around 2 RB, 3WR, 1 WR/TE/RB flex positions in this points per reception league. I'm currently 5-1 (first place).

    Runningbacks:
    Ray Rice (obvious start)
    Ryan Matthews (bye)
    Daryl Richardson (up and coming back in Stl. sharing carries with S.Jackson playing Greenbay)
    Jonathan Dwyer (starting RB for the Steelers this week due to injuries- playing cinci)
    A bunch of other handcuffs I don't plan on starting.

    Wide Receivers:
    Victor Cruz (obvious start)
    Stephen Hill
    Brandon Lloyd (y'all know the matchup here :D)
    Josh Gordon (browns WR up against colts)
    Lance Moore (up against Tampa Bay)

    The Ryan Matthews bye is going to hurt this week. I'm currently rolling with:
    RB: Rice/Dwyer
    WR: Cruz, Hill, Gordon
    Flex: Lance Moore.

    I might be a homer by not starting Lloyd, but I sincerely feel that Cromartie will shut him down. I'd rather watch this game in peace without hoping for Lloyd catches anyway. Is this a mistake? Also I'm wondering if I should start Richardson in the flex or in place of Dwyer? He's been running harder than Steven Jackson. What would you do in my spot.

    Lengthy post. Sorry!

    Interesting you shyed away from both hill and lloyd. I figure hill might be up for some big points against a weak pats secondary, but that's all on whether Sanchez feels like playing good QB this week. So do you think Hill and Lloyd are in for low point totals in PPR format?

    Did not add Lloyd because you wrote you did not want to use him. I would start him over Richardson if it were my team. I have no idea what to expect from Hill so he would only be a desperation play for me.
