You left out VD's playoff games last year. Obviously with a new, young QB there will be some inconsistency early on. I think VD is a must start TE at this point. Do you disagree?

Sorry, edited above, but TE, yes, flex no (depending on your other options).

Its a TE/WR slot, not flex or TE. I took a chance on Alshon this week, obviously not a great move.

Jerell Freeman and TY Hilton were my keys to winning. Both possibly out for this game. Fartsauce.

Yeah, I'm always very careful in playing those guys who have the break-out week. More often than not the disappear back to irrelevancy rather than turning into a fantasy contributor.

The good news on Davis is that he has a couple of more favorable match-ups the next couple of weeks.

I think week-in-week-out your choices are Fitz, Nelson, Davis. I wouldn't trust the other options for more than bye week fill ins (although Brown is quietly having a pretty productive fantasy season despite Pittsburgh's struggles. Might be time to pull the trigger on him as a legitimate starting option, I will have to think more on that...). Fitz and Nelson both have tough match-ups next week so I could understand trying to ride the Davis hot hand. More often than not I try to get a WR in that WR/TE slot as a general rule.

How does anyone even draft a team like that? Are you playing against yourself!? lol

You're stacked

I needed Luck and Richardson to combine for, like...38 points. Not a lock, but it should have been close with our scoring system. Fuck this game. I'm down to hoping Luck throws to Richardson and he takes it 50+ yards for a Touchdown. :/

Going to be a tough week at RB.. Starters on bye.. I need to pick 2. J. Rodgers, B.Bolden, R. Hillman. I'm considering trying to pickup Brand Jacobs or Ogbonnaya..

If Steven Jackson for some crazy reason is still out I'll roll with Rodgers. I only have 2 pickups left for the year and still need a kicker so really only have 1. I made the mistake of stashing some guys that didn't pan out at RB..

Eight team keeper league. My keepers were Manning, Foster and Bryant. Most of the rest were drafted. Picked up Chiefs D on waivers a couple weeks ago, that's been gold.

That's been my best player on one of my teams.

Wait actually I had the wrong team, heh, I have Bears in that screenshot. I do have Chiefs D in another league. They score more points than Brady.

Can't decide on Lacy vs Morris for RB2 slot, I think Morris has the better match-up, but Lacy has been getting way more touches.

I also can't decide who to play in the flex this week. Pretty much a must win game against a strong team this week. (PPR Scoring) Thoughts?

I'd roll with Lacy. With Cobb and possibly Jones out, think GB will be running it more. Buffalo/Detroit showed you can run on Cleveland.

Jimmy Graham bye week, I was gonna start Celek but then I saw Charles Clay was a FA so I went with him even though he's playing a team(Buf) that gives up way fewer points to TE's than Celek's opponent(Dal). Going almost entirely on targets, Clay's getting 6 a game the last few weeks, Celek 2ish.

Am I crazy ignoring the defense this much and just banking on Clay getting a short yardage TD for Miami?

Sticking with my plan of taking whoever is playing Jacksonville for my defense whenever possible. Then TB. Then every other week NYJ because Geno sucks every other week, 1TD and 7 picks in his 3 bad weeks vs. 6/3 in the good ones. This should be a "good" week BTW. Then the Giants, who probably deserve to be higher on my list actually.

Just go both? Id start Morris as flex. Bears can be ran on with that beat up line. Hard to bench lacy with how commuted GB is with the run.

I like clay too Grimm. Celek is too hot and cold and a drive killer lol.. Not saying he won't go off but Clay is the better player and gets more targets.

Had that thought as well. That leaves me with a WR2 choice though. Decker is on the best offense, but has the worst match-up. Steve Smith has been disappointing, Hartline and Williams both have enticing match-ups but aren't necessarily reliable...

opiate - Decker or Williams. Would lean towards Decker.

Grimm - Definitely Clay for TE. I wouldn't start SD this week versus Jax, or Minn vs NYG. Maybe Atl against TB? It's @Atl.

At this point Decker is your best player of that bunch. Has the best QB. Playing vrs his old team who just had his old owner talk shit on him... Plus it's on Prime time.. And the colts just gave up 107 Yrd and a TD to K. Allen.

Willis McGahee or Jerricho Cotchery? Yes, this is a real question. McGahee is a primary back, but he's playing @GB who has a solid run D. Cotchery on the other hand is playing in Pitt against a seemingly weak Ravens secondary. Help, FF bros!

Ugh, that is all I can say about that choice. I would cruise the waiver wire first, but if those are really your two best options, I play McGahee in standard scoring, Cotchery in PPR.

Some guys I look at instead that are available in most ESPN leagues, Mike Tolbert, Brandon Jacobs or Austin Pettis (PPR). Not exactly enticing options either but I would play them before McGahee or Cotchery.

*edit Zac Stacy is another pick-up choice. I'm not expecting much out of him this week, but would be a much better option than McGahee moving forward.

How do you not start Fred Jackson, Miami has given up 17, 24, 29 and 23 points to running backs the past 4 games they have played. I would sit Smith in place of Jackson.
