Not sure what to do now. I have been playing Rodgers all year, and had Big Ben in this week due to the Packers bye week, which turned out great. There is no way Ben continues this onslaught, right?
So the question is do I play Big Ben at the Jets or Rodgers against the Bears?

In your case I would probably take Ben. While the 49ers are struggling in general, outside of Manning torching them, they have been pretty solid against the pass. Of course this is in New Orleans, so it is quite possible that Brees rapes them.
I would probably take Sanu for the receiver too.

That's like a coinflip, Harvin will get more targets so I'd go with your gut.
The Ben has the highest expert projections this week by a little bit, but "expert" picks have him right behind Rodgers and Brees at #4 for the week.
I don't know how you can sit Rodgers for anyone not Manning, especially against Chicago. Even with Ben having the best weeks ever against better teams, the Steelers really shit the bed against bad teams so it's not the sure thing it sounds like. I'd lean Rodgers over Ben, and Ben over Brees just slightly and just for this week.
As for the WR4 slot, oy vey. Probably try to keep riding the Sanu train til he does something to shake your trust. He still got 8 targets even with Green back and he made them count so stick with it.
Fuck Crabtree.

Are people forgetting about Luck? He's been the #1 fantasy QB this season. He's almost a guaranteed 40 points per week. He makes my team.
And it's not the "Sanu Train". It's the Sanu Canoe.

Any suggestions? This is the RB waiver wire (non-PPR) I have to deal with. I need at least 1, possibly 2 (Fred Jackson is looking less likely to play this weekend) and this league has a limit on waiver wire pickups per week. I am just murdered this week by byes and stashing guys I'm hoping come back soon. I realize it's not pretty...
Edit: Those are sorted by projected points this week.

Yeah with Taliaferro you're mostly hoping he gets a TD, he's a total vulture. With Mason and maybe Stewart(depending on the week) you might get some actual stats accumulated so they might be a safer bet.
Sankey is not gonna happen, he's a fantasy bust. Doug Martin is garbage. Booby? I'd be a little nervous about any Bills RB.

That was basically my line of thinking. I took a flyer on Taliaferro earlier (my 2 starting RB's were both out by Week 2) but it didn't pan out. At this point though, any points would be better than none at all. I wouldn't be so worried if the guy I was playing this week didn't have half of Denver's starters, who are likely going to skullfuck the Raiders. Plus, with having to replace a kicker and possibly ending up with an empty IDP spot and being limited to 4 pickups, I have to make them count.

I am in nearly the same situation Profundis, I went with Tre Mason. Though Charles Sims down there, that might be a tempting gamble, I think he is going to play this weekend. Of course, the situation is even more awful in Tampa than it is in St. Louis so...

That's what I would go with - Rodgers has a good chance of lighting up the Bears, and Cobb will benefit from that. On the flip side, assuming the Bears are getting molested, Alshon Jeffery will benefit as they pass like mad to try to keep up.
Cincy at Cleveland has a greater potential (in my opinion) to be a 13-10 defensive snoozer, making your other two options more attractive. If I stuck Sanu in there, I would put him in for Jeffery.
