Morris, Ellington...your WR are a mess for this week though. Hilton, maybe...

Comey · 11-27-2013, 07:25 PM

I'd say MJD is your flex, but that's process of elimination.

lungs · 11-27-2013, 07:47 PM

Ray Rice vs. Giovani Bernard?

vex · 11-27-2013, 08:00 PM

Who should I go with for my #3 WR?

Roddy White vs Buffalo
Percy Harvin vs New Orleans
Cordarrelle Patterson vs Chicago

Thanks

Comey · 11-27-2013, 08:05 PM

Harvin, to me...though Patterson could be an interesting pick. White is a trainwreck at this point.

Thanks for the doughnut Jarrett Boykin. That's in a 16 team league, but Im certain you screwed many folks in normal 12 teamers as well.

CleBrownsfan · 12-04-2013, 08:42 AM

Playoff time!

Do I start R.Wilson @ SF or Foles vs Det?

We get 4 points for passing TD and 1 point for every 25 yards passing...

Travis · 12-04-2013, 08:44 AM

I'm about as big a fan of Wilson as you'll find, but I don't see how you'd start him over Foles given the matchups. I think both have similar ceilings, but Foles' floor in his game should be a lot higher than Wilson's.

Vince, Pt. II · 12-04-2013, 09:40 AM

Yup, I'm in the Foles line too. While I don't expect Seattle to lay down, they have literally nothing to play for. The only way they lose home field is by losing 3 of 4 and for New Orleans to win out. If this wasn't Pete Carrol vs Jim Harbaugh, I'd be certain that they would roll out a very vanilla game plan.

cmp · 12-05-2013, 10:55 AM

Help me pick my lineup. Non PPR league.

QB:
RB: A. Peterson
RB: M. Forte
RB/WR:
WR: B. Marshall
WR:
WR:
TE: J. Graham
K: S. Gostowski
D:

QB: Brady, Romo
RB: Morris, Jones-Drew
WR: Nelson, Garcon, V. Jackson, K. Allen, R. White
D: Ravens, Bengals

Ronnie Dobbs3 · 12-05-2013, 10:59 AM

QB: Brady
RB/WR: Morris
WR: Garcon
WR: VJax
D: Ravens

rowech · 12-06-2013, 04:39 PM

Should I be talked out of starting McCown, Forte, and Jeffrey together? My other options are:

Kapernick vs Seattle or Flacco vs Minnesota

Green-Ellis vs Indy

Its the playoffs, hard to put all eggs in one basket.

no way you bench forte for GE here.

Really up to your risk avoidance. I benched Ben Tate last night after his 3 TD episode last week. Worked out.

Not quite the playoffs for us yet. Last week. I should make the playoffs barring an insane scenario but nothing guaranteed of course.

Coffee Warlord · 12-06-2013, 05:48 PM

I'd actually go Flacco (yes, Flacco) instead of McCown.

britrock88 · 12-08-2013, 10:41 AM

Jordan Cameron or Julian Edelman at the flex? (PPR)

Edelman.

Honolulu_Blue · 12-08-2013, 11:38 AM

I planned to start Foles vs. the Lions instead of Brees vs. Carolina.

I turned my TV on a few minutes ago, saw a shot of the field in Philly and quickly reversed that decision.

cmp · 12-08-2013, 11:49 AM

Last minute decision:

Pierre Garcon or Keenan Allen?

brees 1h 21 pts

Foles whole game 21 pts (not too bad, Stafford had 8)

Suicane75 · 12-12-2013, 02:13 PM

Ok, so I have Murray & McCoy locked in at RB.

Flex is either Lacy or Woodhead, but I need to choose obviously before tonight. Looking like Lacy is at best 50/50 for Sunday......but it's against Dallas!

Ronnie Dobbs3 · 12-12-2013, 02:21 PM

Just came out that McCarthy feels good about Lacy's chances. That upside is so huge could you grab Starks and just plug in whoever goes?

Suicane75 · 12-12-2013, 02:24 PM

Starks is unavailable

Coffee Warlord · 12-13-2013, 08:35 AM

Tough decision.

For one RB slot, I have...

AP - Almost certainly not playing.
Reggie Bush - Questionable, and plays monday, complicating things.
Andre Brown - Shitty matchup.

I'd prefer Bush obviously, but he'll likely be a gametime decision. Which sucks. Question is...play it safe and start Brown, or hold out for Bush.

I grabbed Bernard Pierce off the scrap heap in case of a monday night dire emergency, but clearly I'd prefer not to go that route.

Travis · 12-13-2013, 08:58 AM

Honestly, I don't think you can answer this one yet. Both AP and Bush will likely have their situations looking a lot clearer by this time tomorrow so hopefully by then it's a lot easier of a decision, good or bad, to make.

And yes, I'm holding out hope both will somehow play as they'd be a huge help to a couple of my teams, so I'm doing all the requisite sacrifices and following the protocol.

HomerSimpson98 · 12-13-2013, 09:35 AM

Fucking Decker. Fucking Woodhead. Great week to take a giant shit on my team.

PackerFanatic · 12-13-2013, 09:49 AM

Chris Ogbonnaya or Daniel Thomas?

Ugh...that is a terrible duo to pick from, but with A-Pete and Gerhart both likely out, those two are going to be it I think. I am thinking Thomas right now, but the Bears D (who Og is going against) has been pretty bad against the run.

Travis · 12-13-2013, 10:05 AM

Sounds like Miller got in a full practice so a further toss up on that one. I'd lean Ogbonnaya as having the higher ceiling this week, especially if you're talking PPR.

Like you, I'm definitely hoping Peterson is able to play so I don't have to have an Ogbonnaya in my lineup this week.

Ronnie Dobbs3 · 12-13-2013, 10:05 AM

Ogbonnaya easily for me. Terrible run defense and he's the only guy. Pats DEF isn't great but what's the timeshare?

PackerFanatic · 12-13-2013, 10:13 AM

I hadn't seen that Miller practiced - I figured with the concussion he'd be less likely to poach carries, but that is good to know.

Come on, A-Pete...

FWIW - Local sports are reporting a big dose of Fozzy Whittaker if McGahee can't play.

Vince, Pt. II · 12-14-2013, 03:09 PM

With Bush banged up and facing a decent defense, I'm torn on my Flex spot this week. My options:

RB Reggie Bush (vs. Bal)
WR Cecil Shorts (vs. Buf)
WR Riley Cooper (@ Min)
WR Kendall Wright (vs. Ari)
WR Michael Crabtree (@ TB)

Vince, Pt. II · 12-18-2013, 07:15 PM

Last one for the year. Championship week, and it looks like Jordan Cameron is probably out with a concussion (that he didn't report symptoms on until yesterday). Tight End is rather thin on the waiver wire...here are some options, but are there any sleepers worth consideration?

Martellus Bennett (@ Phi)
Garrett Graham (vs Den) - Worried about his hamstring
Tim Wright (@ St. Louis)
Jermaine Gresham (vs Minn) - Tyler Eifert an issue?
Zach Ertz (vs. Chi)
Andrew Quarless (vs. Pit)
Marcedes Lewis (vs. Ten)

Eifert is a better option than Gresham. I would go Bennett.

Butter · 12-19-2013, 06:36 AM

Neither or Eifert or Gresham have gotten into the end zone much this year. I'd go Bennett or Ertz personally, that game seems like it might be a shootout.

cmp · 07-09-2014, 03:43 PM

Never too early for fantasy football.

Help me pick my keepers.

Auction league. $200 budget. We start QB RB RB RB/WR WR WR WR TE

Need to keep 3.

Forte $43
Morris $13
A. Peterson $68
C. Patterson $8
J. Nelson $21
K. Allen $8
P. Garcon $15
V. Jackson $22
J. Maclin $8
J. Graham $38

Travis · 07-09-2014, 04:02 PM

Hard not to keep Graham. Would pick one of Forte/Peterson (likely Forte) and then one of Morris, Patterson, Allen, Maclin (depending on who you think will have the best year.

Personally I'd probably keep Graham, Forte and Morris though scoring rules could definitely change my vote.

Chief Rum · 07-09-2014, 04:20 PM

Keenan Allen at $8 is a cinch. I would also keep Graham.

Frankly, I might even keep a third WR over a RB. It's not a RB league anymore.

But Forte catches enough balls to consider him. I lean toward Jordy Nelson though at just $21. You'll save enough money to splurge on available RBs, IMO, or to go get a high point QB.

This is all assuming points for run yardage isn't ridiculous next to receiving yardage.
