Week 3 Fantasy Football lineup advice

[Suburban Rhythm]

I pretty much have the same question every week

Lynch, Boldin and Holmes are about locked into my lineup

I can start one more flex from:

Ronnie Brown, Kenny Watson, Rudi Johnson
Chris Chambers, Sidney Rice, Bernanrd Berrian, Bryant Johnson

Can Chambers continue what he's doing? Are Berrian/Rice any better with Frerrotte (and AP possibly out)? Bryant Johnson has had 2 solid weeks.

Thoughts?

I don't think you should really look at any MIN WR (and that is not my Packer bias talking) I think your best choice would be between Chambers and Johnson, and I would personally go Chambers. He has proven to be Rivers' favorite target, especially with Gates and LT a little banged up.

RB: AP, Bush, Jon Stewart, Edge, Fargas
WR: Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson, Boldin, Anthony Gonzalez, Lee Evans

Now from those I need to pick 2 RB and 2 WR + 1 RB/WR combo. I can't decide who I want to bench this week.

AP and Bush seem to be locks at RB, along with Calvin and Boldin at WR. So I need to pick one out of: WR Steve Smith, WR Anthony Gonzalez, RB Jon Stewart, WR Lee Evans. That's tough. I understand Steve is my stud early pick and I should start him but I wonder if there might be a little rust as he gets into the groove of things. Anthony Gonzalez had a monster week last week on my bench and I don't want to sit him again. Jon Stewart seems to be Carolina's main back now and seems like he should be starting too.

Any thoughts guys?

[Suburban Rhythm]

As far as I know, AP is a game time decision.

Any thoughts on my case:

Start 2 QB's out of McNabb vs Pitt, Roethlisberger vs Philly and Cutler vs NO

4 pts/td 1 pt/50 yards passing and no penalty for picks or fumbles.
Right now, I'm leaning toward Cutler and McNabb, but it's tempting to start any QB playing against Philly.

I would go with Steve Smith. Minnesota is rough on the run and they will need to throw it. I'm not sure what to make of the Colt offense yet and have some faith in Jax D still.

[molson]

This one's killing me a money league:

O'Sullivan, Kitna, or Hasselbeck

All have great matchups.

I'm absolutely torn right now as to which QB to start this week. I've got Big Ben going against Philly, but I also have Rivers up against the Jets. Rivers has been putting up big stats on my bench, and I have a feeling San Diego might get psyched up for this game and absolutely wreck the Jets, but Philly's pass defense has not impressed me thus far, and I could see Roethlisberger doing big things as well.

[wade moore]

I need to fill RB1, RB2, and RB-WR (always a RB of course) and I have to pick from these 5:

Will McGahee
Kevin Smith
Jerious Norwood
Darren Sproles
Ahman Green

I can pretty much eliminate Ahman Green immediately, it's the other 4 that are causing me issue.

What 3 would you play?

I'd play Rivers, that Philly defense is solid despite the thrashing they took from Philly.

RB: Ryan Grant or his backup Brandon Jackson? Grant is listed as probable, but I'm leaning towards Jackson still getting more carries. Then, after picking one of them, do I go with the GB RB or Darren Sproles? That one I have no idea on.

QB: McNabb vs. Steelers or Rodgers vs. Cowboys? I'm leaning McNabb, I think it's too soon to rely on Rodgers being as good as he's looked.

[Glengoyne]

All questions and no answers?

I don't think this is how this is supposed to work.

Hopefully not too late to help...I would go with McNabb for sure as the Steelers secondary is not great (that's a nice way for a Steelers fan to say we suck).

As for the GB situation, I oftentimes find myself tempted to go with the sure thing in that you know what you'll get with Sproles vs. Grant or Jackson, especially against the Cowboy D. I would probably go Sproles vs. the Jets, especially if you get points for return yards.

3 WR slots

Calvin Johnson
T.J. Housh
Dwayne Bowe
Braylon Edwards

Thinking of beching Edwards this week.

I'm playing Bowe as my #3 this week as well but it's a role of the dice. Edwards looked awful last week against the Steelers. His apathy is amazing so I would probably sit him as well. Besides, he's playing a tough Baltimore D whereas Bowe is playing Atlanta and should get some chances.

So I should have started Ronnie Brown as my flex :(

LOL, um, yup !!!

[Arctic Blast]

Well, thank God I listened to this advice! :eek:

[SnDvls]

So I should have started Ronnie Brown as my flex :(

same problem here. gonna lose my game by......oh 30 points...just the amount I would have gotten if I started him too. :banghead:

[Racer]

What is sort of funny is that the owner of Ronnie Brown in my hometown league also had the New England defense. He started both. Ronnie Brown scored about 37 fantasy points in the league, but thanks to Brown, the New England defense scored -4 fantasy points for him.
