I'd probably still go Cobb and Jeffrey, but it's pretty close. I honestly wouldn't beat myself up over either guy if the other scored more on my bench.

With the heavy bye week this week and most teams in my league carrying two QB's all season long I am actually in a bit of a bind with Luck on bye. Here are my choices:

Butt-Fumble vs. Carolina
Carr vs. Denver
or bank on Romo actually playing against Jacksonville (knowing that real life my prevent me from making any last minute roster moves come Sunday should Romo not be able to go).

Oof.

If Romo plays he seems like the obvious choice, even with his spine broken and contused in multiple places. Otherwise I'd probably go Sanchize and hope for Maclin and crew to carry you to 20 points. Carr isn't a bad QB or anything, but he's nothing special in fantasy either. He's gone over 15pts once this year.

These bye weeks are making for some much tougher choices=)

So here's mine,

Stafford vs. a stout Miami pass defense, possibly with Megatron back but probably still hobbled.

or

Cam '14pts is a good week' Newton vs. Philly and their porous defense.


Cam is fucking killing me. This is probably a stupid question, you have to play him, but if Megatron plays I'm really tempted to bench Cam just because fuck him right in the ass.

After what Miami did to the Chargers last week (who've had a really hot offense) I'd have a hard time starting anyone there. It's hard to say if the Chargers game was a fluke and Rivers just played bad though

In one league I started Bitter Beer Face over The Rapist. Should I stick my head in an oven? I mean it was only a 53 point differential right?

Dropping Vernon Davis for good and starting Mychal Rivera this week. Dude has 2 tds on 20 targets over the past two weeks which is a lot for a tight end...and Davis is pure shit.

Idk about flex though. I have Joique Bell and Heath Miller as flex candidates, starting B. Rainey and M.Forte. Bush coming back vs a good Miami D makes me wonder if Bell will still be getting the production. Jets are also the worst team in the NFL vs Tight ends (11tds).

Andy Dalton is killing me and I don't even have him. Can't complete shit to get me points out of AJ and can't score shit to hurt my opponent's Browns D. And coughed it up to them. Ginger piece of shit...

This is actually my first Thursday night bust.. had Aj Green. I was worried going into it but figurer id at least get more receptions. Dalton was like Stevie Wonder out there! I had success with Brady, Vareen and Hilton.

Not sure what to do about my TE situation. I have Bennett but he is currently listed as questionable, and my backup Fleener is on a Bye this week. There is very little to choose from as far as free agents, so I don't know that it is worth dropping Fleener and picking up some scrub in hopes that he performs.

Looks like the best options to pick up would be Kelce, Jared Cook, Mychael Rivera, or Vernon Davis. Do I drop Fleener and grab one of those guys in case Bennett can't play tomorrow?

Well I picked up Kelce and I guess I will play him. Sucks that the Bears don't play until tonight so we probably won't hear if he is going to play until much later.

Oh well.

It wouldn't have mattered if he scored 20. I am getting absolutely smoked.
