The weekly lineup advice column continues to be one of the most popular features on DLF. Last week, we again had over 100 different lineup questions submitted and answered each and every one, as promised.
So, all you have to do again this week is post your question at the bottom of this article. We’ll give you our answers in real time so you don’t have to wait any longer than you have to.
If you want advice outside of the DLF crew, go ahead and post your question in the DLF forum as well. The answers you’ll find here are intended to only be from the founders of this site, so that’s what you’ll mostly see.
Just make sure to indicate if your league is a PPR league, and if there are any other unique scoring requirements.
Let’s do it!

non-ppr, pick 2 WR
Steve Smith (NYG)
Marques Colston
Mike Williams (TB)
Jeremy Maclin
smith and maclin for sure
Williams is a little nicked up and Kolb is pretty unpredictable. I’d actually go with Smith and Colston.
If Williams is near 100%, I’d go with Williams and Colston. Smith just doesn’t get into the end zone enough. His value is substantially less in a non-PPR format. It’s a toss up between Maclin and Smith otherwise, I’d go with Colston and Maclin.
PPR
pick 2 RB: Mendy, RRice, PThomas, MBush, Torain
pick 3 WR: Colston, Jennings, BMarshall, Britt, Amendola, Holmes
PThomas and Torain
Colston, Jennings and marshall
Rice and Mendenhall are no brainers for me, Colston, Marshall and Jennings (hopefully he’ll bounce back).
Never sit Ray Rice. Mendy plays as well.
Colston, Jennings, BMarshall.
Pick 2 for ppr out of Zach Miller, Steve Smith and Hines Ward
Thanks
steve smith (giants)…and one wr spot one flex spot
thanks for answering………
I’d go with Miller and Smith here.
Agreed, Miller and Smith.
Non PPR
pick 2 RB: Green-Ellis, Torain, Greene, Caddy
Pick 1 rb/wr: Dez Bryant, Brandon Tate, or any above RB’s
Green-ellis, Torain
Tate
BGE and Torain.
Greene. Dez may not play and haven’t seen enough from Tate yet to get the start over over Greene.
Law Firm and Torain
and Greene at flex.
For the same reason Jeff mentioned.
Juan C is in a 4 team league and its obvious who he should start
Need to start 5 of the following. Chaarles, AJ, Nicks, R.Moss, Mendenhall, LT. 1pt PPR
—————————————————————-
Pick 2 of the following 3(1pt PPR): J.Gaffney, D.Mason, T.Jones.
Thanks for both guys!
The first 5 start.
I go with Gaffney and Mason.
I’d go with LT over Mendy, but otherwise agree with above.
Dynasty League, PPR, 12 team
What are your thoughts on James Starks? Any worth to him? Is he worth picking up?
Also, is Taylor Price (NE) even worth keeping on my roster now that Branch is in NE?
Pick one: Peyton Hillis, Brandon Jacobs, Willis McGahee
Pick one: Brent Celek, Tony Moeaki
Pick one: Eli Manning, Vick/Kolb (whoever starts)
Pick one flex: Demaryius Thomas, SEA Mike Williams, Joshua Cribbs, or unused RB/TE from above.
Thanks!
IMO;
Starks is worth a pick up if you’re not you have the roster fodder to cut. Without a doubt, I think he’ll be given a shot to be the workhorse. Whether he’s that good, we don’t know. But what i do know is the man hasn’t played a game of football since 2008. There’s injury concerns there.
I’d say its pretty straight forward.
Hillis (so long as he plays)
Celek (Moeaki needs a few more weeks to gain my trust). Celek is the one who’s more likely to blow up (if either do)
I’m going with Mike Williams myself. He’ll be back to full strength, they’ve had a week to prepare, and PC said he wanted to push Mike to be a #1 (basically, lets see if you can handle it)
Starks MUST be owned in all dynasty formats. He is a Ryan Grant sized back with a similar running style but with more physicality and better vision. His hands are what make him a cut above. I’m concerned about him not playing for going on two years now, but he should be rested. He’s a good kid and will get a shot in the next few weeks.
Price is probably cuttable depending on the rest of your players.
Hillis, Celek, Manning and Williams due to PPR.
ppr and 6 per td should i start s.moss or wallace?
and on def either mia or tenn?
Moss.
Start the Titans. They’ll be flying around on Monday night and I think they’ll have a better game against the Jags.
Agree with Jeff,
Moss and the Titans.
ty guys so much thanks to me running with tenn i won my game by 1 yard it was close but i would have lost with mia… ty so much love this site.
pick two
Charles, Turner, Green-ellis
Charles and Turner
Charles and Turner for me as well.
I scooped up Brandon Lloyd and Peyton Hillis before or just after week 1 because of your waiver wire suggestions, and needless to say everyone in my league was shocked to see how “brilliant” that was. Thanks for that alone
PPR league
ROMO – QB
PITT – DEF
Need 2WR, 1RB, 1 W/R
Lloyd v. NYJ
Maclin v. Atl
MJD v.Ten
Driver v. Miami
Hillis @ Pit
Murphy @ SF
Colston @ TB
I’m thinking Lloyd, Maclin, and MJD…I like Hillis because he can score even if he doesn’t rush for many yards, which he probably won’t against Pitt. Not sure about Driver if he doesn’t have Rodgers and Murphy/Colston are just starting to come-back from injury/disappointment.
Need your expertise. Thanks
I’d go with what you are thinking. I really want to sit Lloyd vs. the Jets but you just can’t right now. I’d still start Colston over Maclin … but it sounds like you have a gut feeling and I always suggest following YOUR gut feeling over anyone else’s. Trust your inner-FFB’er.
I would start Colston over Maclin. I think it’s a bit more of a boom or bust play, with how erratic the NO WR corps have been lately, but I’m just not wild about Maclin, and I think Colston has to hit a big game sooner or later, and I believe NO will come out with guns-a-blazing after that loss to ARI.
Like Jeff said, you can’t sit Lloyd right now, plus I bet Revis sits this week to heal up for two weeks to come out of the bye in good shape.
RB is MJD for sure.
Hillis is a tough draw against a PIT team which will be stopping the run and forcing McCoy to beat them. Just doesn’t feel like a recipe for a good game there. I’d probably roll with Maclin in that spot, especially in a PPR league.
I need a WR, no ppr or return yds but 5pts bonus for 100+yds. The league scores yardage at 1pt/5yds so it’s more important than TDs (6pts/ea).
Williams v. NO or Crabtree v. Oak
What do you think?
If Williams seems healthy I’d start him. It’s close though. Watch the pregames and pour through the beat writers in TB.
I’d actually go with Crabs here. While I’m way not an Alex Smith fan, Crabs production has been steadily increasing each of the last three weeks. I think the new OC there is doing a better job of scheming him, and I think this week, he’ll definitely have more yardage than Williams.
Dynasty 12 Team
I am constantly getting hammered to trade Jamaal Charles for Pierre Thomas and Eddie Royal. I would be light at RB this week with Ray Rice and McGahee and Royal would be a good pickup cause I lost Clayton last week. I think Thomas is out.
Should I pull the trigger? I am mixed with JC’s potential although he is small.
I’m just not a Royal fan. And PT has ability and value but I’m worried about his mounting injuries. JC is young, explosive and is a decent RB2. When bad injuries happen, you don’t want to respond with desperation. I’d hang on to JC.
If I look at the long term value of those three players, Charles is heads and toes above the other two. I know the temptation to win now can be strong, but you’d definitely regret that one a year from now. Hang on to JC, or ask for more in return for him.
In PPR league, pick two: Charles, Torain and Green-Ellis. Thanks!
Charles and Torain.
Ditto
non-ppr
2 RB
2 WR
1 FLEX
Foster (Starting), Greene, Green-Ellis, Torain
Austin (Starting), Lloyd, Maclin, Wallace
need help with the other 3 spots
Torain and Lloyd. Roll the dice with Wallace getting Big Ben back this week.
In a non-PPR league:
Should I start Aaron Hernandez this week against Baltimore or Kellen Winslow against NO? Thanks.
I’d go with Hernandez. No Moss and Brady is going to need someone. Hernandez is your guy, even against BAL.
PPR 14 team Auction League
My RBs is
Best
McCoy
Spiller
Barber
Thinking bout dropping Barber taking chance on Starks?
No one else you can drop? If that is your only choice, that’s fine. We know what Barber is this year. Starks could be a RB1 or a RB4 but he’s going to get his chance. I’m assuming this isn’t a Dynasty league
no one else not much flexibility with our rosters (only 4 Rbs) no its not a dynasty league or i would of grabbed him already thanks to u guys lol my main concern is bye weeks with Best and Mccoy next few weeks but not much else on waiver anyhow
Need help at RB, my top 4 are Moreno, M Bush, Tolbert, D Brown (have Grant & Hardesty on IR for 2011). I have Marshall, Owens, Sims-Walker, Britt & Cribbs (return yardage included) at WR – I have an offer on the table to give up Owens for Ronnie Brown – should I pull the trigger?
Yes!!
Probably have to do it if you want to compete this year. Dynasty? Brown is no great shakes but he’s going to get more carries than most all the other guys save Bush. Moreno is you RB1 if/when healthy … but you could be saying that all year.
Non-ppr, re-draft league.
Pick 2 RBs out of Rice, Forte, PThomas,Best, Foster and Mike Bush.
Need 2 WRs out of Nicks, Calvin Johnson, Knox, Harvin
Need 1 WR or RB for flex spot.
I’m leaning towards Rice and Forte at RB. Nicks and Harvin at WR.
I have PThomas as the flex, but I’m worried he might not be back this week. I’m debating between Foster and Bush if PT can’t play.
Never sit Rice. And I’d keep Foster in there still.
Nicks and Calvin as long as he’s healthy. Harvin is a tough sit this week. If Calvin is not near 100%, roll with Harvin. If CJ’s a go, I can’t sit him and Nicks is just too hot to sit.
Hi—have just been offered a trade in a Dynasty League-(non-ppr).
Trade is Max Hall-(i have Romo, Schaub, Henne & Hall) for Anthony Dixon-(i have Gore)
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Clearly pull the trigger. Dixon has a promising future and is a sure handcuff. Hall? no one knows what’ll become of him. ARZ could easily flounder their way to a 6-10 season and be amongst the many teams in the Locker/Luck/Mallet sweepstakes.
I highly doubt SF with Dixon and Ginn make an early play on a RB next year. They’re probably more so in the QB hunt next draft.
Do it and sleep well.
This is a trade question. I am in a 1/2 point per reception league.
I can start as many as 4 wrs or 3 rbs. I have McCoy, Bradshaw, Green-Ellis and Torain at rb. I have White, Moss, and A. Johnson at wr. I know I drafted with a bunch of novices. Should I trade Moss for Stephen Jackson?
I’m assuming Randy Moss. I wouldn’t. Your RBs are fine and your WRs are even more fine. Don’t get too cute with the roster … just let it work for you.
1/2 PPR. Tolbert or Wallace?
Wallace.
Hey dudes, here are my tough decisions this week. 12 team, 1/2 PPR, 18 roster dynasty.
1) Pick one: Addai or Pierre Thomas
2) Pick one: Jennings or Dustin Keller
3) Pick one: Ryan Matthews or Bradshaw
4) Pick two: Mike Williams (TB), Dwayne Bowe, Johnny Knox, Mike Thomas, Amendola or Aaron Hernandez.
As always, thanks so much and you guys are the best out there.
1) Addai
2) Tough one. I’ll roll with Jennings
3) Bradshaw until I see more from RMat
4) Williams and Amendola, Knox if Williams doesn’t play
Oh and thank you very much for the comment! Gratuitous plugs and glowing comments about the site are always welcomed.
Good afternoon gentlemen. I am in a PPR league. I need help. Need 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 flex.
My QBs are Orton, Flacco, and big ben.
My RBs are Matthews, Foster, Drew and s Jackson
My WRs are Britt, Floyd, M Wallace or Amendola
Thanks again.
I’d roll with Flacco this week. Orton vs. NYJ doesn’t bode well. Many believe Ben is going to do well but I want to see it first. Flacco against the Pat defense which is not great is your play. Ben is your #2.
Foster and Drew for your RBs. Nice group there.
Hard to argue against Floyd right now. I’d go with Floyd and Amendola considering the PPR aspect. Wallace is a nice play this week but the PPR of Amendola is tough to pass up.
Jackson is your Flex.
12 Team PPR League
Which D/ST should I start?
Baltimore (NE)
Miami (GB)
Who should be my 2nd RB to Mendy?
Marion Barber (MIN)
LaGarret Blount (NO)
Brandon Jackson (MIA)
Mike Hart (WAS)
I’d start BAL.
Jackson is your RB2 this week.
Hello,
Need 2 out of these WR’s, non-ppr 1 pt per 20 yards
M. Williams(TB)
S. Moss(WAS)
M. Wallace(PIT)
P. Garcon(IND)
I’ve been playing Williams every week but I’m worried about his injury. Do you think he’s to risky to play this week?
Williams if healthy and Moss. Wallace starts if Williams is out or gimpy still. Just not liking what I’m seeing with Garcon right now and Collie is the RB2 realistically.
Which WR’s/TE’s to start….3 plus flex TE/WR
WR’s/D-Jackson,Danny Amendola,Davone Bess,Brandon Tate,Keven Walter
TE’s Aaron Hernandez, Marcedes Lewis
Sorry, non-ppr, standard yahoo scoring
Jackson, Amendola and Bess although I’m not wild about them in non PPR formats. Would like toe rec. Tate but I can’t yet.
Still going with Hernandez over Lewis. I think Lewis comes back to earth this week.
10 Team Non-PPR
QB2 – Shaun Hill vs NYG or Alex Smith vs OAK? Hill is against a strong Giants DEF, but Smith is liable to get benched early in the game should things start to fall apart. No one else on waivers except McCoy, Campbell, and Gradkowski.
My QBs: Romo, Vick, Stafford, Hill
I hate playing players that are near the bench. Smith is a better pure play this week but I’d roll with Hill because you know he’ll not end up on the bench.
Standard scoring, no ppr or yardage.
Pick two WRs
M.Williams (vs NO)
D.Bowe (at HOU)
M.Crabtree (vs OAK)
B.Tate (vs BAL)
I think you gotta go Crabtree and Williams. Bowe is all or nothing.. usually nothing lately, and I think it’s too early to play Tate.
No PPR or yardage? That’s not very standard.
I’d go with Williams and Bowe. Crabtree is a sneaky play this week and if you want to start him, start him over Bowe.
Would you trade Matt Schaub at this time? And would it be more beneficial to get draft picks or players?
I joined a league that has been in place for 10 yrs and received a team that was picked apart. Thankfully, in the last draft I did pretty well.
I am encouraged by your sell high/ buy low strategy. Here is my team:
QB’s:
Freeman, Josh
Schaub, Matt
Tebow, Tim DEN
Young, Vince
RB’s:
Dixon, Anthony
Ivory, Christopher
Jones, Felix
Karim, Deji
Snelling, Jason
Spiller, C.J.
Tolbert, Mike
Williams, Carnell
Starks, James
WR’s:
Bennett, Earl
Bess, Davone
Harvin, Percy
Johnson, Steve
Naanee, Legedu
Tate, Golden
Williams, Damian
TE’s:
Bennett, Martellus
Graham, Jimmy
Moeaki, Tony
K’s:
Bironas, Rob
DEF’s:
Packers, Green Bay
It is a 24 player keeper league, non-ppr. By the Draft we need to cut it to 22 players.
This is an article in and of itself. In short, Yes. Schaub isn’t going to help you win anytime soon. It can be fun to rebuild if you embrace it. I’d trade Schaub and see if you can find a sell high taker for Steve Johnson. Additionally, try to move Martellus to the owner of Witten for a second rounder. Your RBs have the potential to be good in future years.
In your position, it’s tough to get draft picks in return because there’s a high bust factor involved, especially if you aren’t sure it’s a very high pick. Trade Schaub for a younger starting RB1 or for a WR1 to a team in bad QB shape. Multiple starters would go a long way here as well. Perhaps a RB2 + WR2. Known commodities are more important than picks in your situation. Don’t look for one year wonders though … make sure you’re getting a players that are more established.
Thanks!
3 total WR spots, Harvin is a lock. Which two of these three:
D. Mason
E. Royal
M. Sims-Walker
Yardage and TD’s, NOT PPR.
Mason and Royal.
Garçon (@WAS) or Crabtree (vs. Oak) in a PPR
Kolb (vs ATL), Ryan (@PHI), McNabb (vs. IND) or Freeman (vs. NO)
Crabtree. Tough choice at QB … I’d go with Kolb.
Michael Bush vs 49ers
Marshawn lynch @ Bears
I think Lynch will get 20-25 touches. Bush could as well but if DMC is back then who do you like this week.
Bush if no DMc. Want to see one week of Lynch before starting him if possible.
Got what I believe to be an interesting question concerning QB output this week. I’m considering benching A Rodgers (assuming he plays) in favor of Josh Freeman this week. Normally I wouldn’t even let the thought enter my mind, but what I’m wondering here is this; starting Freeman basically guarantees 20 points taking into consideration his averages this year, and while starting Rodgers obviously provides a ton more upside, what’s giving me pause is my concern over Rodgers making an early exit via a hard hit. Unlike real-life coaches, we fantasy managers can’t throw a back-up QB into play after the games start. Considering how concussions seem to occur with more frequency after the first one, and considering the tendency of teams to play it safe (and they should) in these circumstances, I’m curious to see what play you guys think is the better play here – take the high percentage but lower ceiling w/Freeman, or take the riskier, more upside play w/Rodgers and hope he doesn’t exit the game in the 1st quarter?
I hear what you’re saying and you sound like me.
Start Rodgers.
Dynasty, 12 team, half PPR
Pick 3: AP, Mendy, SJack, M Bush
Also, if Calvin doesn’t suit up…which wr would you start in his place? Knox, Naanee, or Bowe?
Love the site, keep up the good work
Thanks for the note! We’re not going to stop until we’re the best on the net!
Sit Bush for the other 3. If you get return yardage, go with Knox. if not, Bowe.
2 WR League, who do I pick?
- Anquan Boldin
- Dwayne Bowe
- Santonio Holmes
- Jeremy Maclin
- Brandon Tate
Thanks for the advice, the site is awesome.
Helloooo … McFly!
Skate with Boldin and Maclin. Wanting to see what Tate does over the next couple of games and Holmes looks rusty.
Thanks for the advice…I was gonna use the time machine to figure this out but the Doc has beef with that.
Should I start John Abraham v. the Eagles or Mario Williams v. KC?
0.8 pts/tackle
1.5 pts/half sack
Williams
start foster or bradshaw? im scared of KC def. and bradshaw has been tearing it up against legit def.
That’s a tough choice. Sounds like you’re gut is screaming at you to play Bradshaw. I always advise to trust your own gut … so that way you can sleep at night. Start Bradshaw vs. the Lions, you know he’ll get touches. If it’s a PPR he’s even more solid
everybody has been telling me to play bradshaw. but im pretty scared of jacobs, he has been getting more looks like around 10. and goal line touches sometimes. its funny you tell me trust my gut because in week two, i decided to start bradshaw instead of gore because bradshaw was playing indy, right after foster blew up on them. and gore looked bad week one. my gut failed me. lol. so i dunno…and i also feel like foster has a higher ceiling. and bradshaw’s ankle issues, they might give jacobs more touches just because it looking to be a blow out.
Hi Guys,
Pick 5, PPR
S Jax, Bradshaw, Andre Johnson, Megatron, Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Hakeem Nicks.
I’m thinking to sit Calvin w/ his shoulder issue, but I’m at a loss on the next one. I love the Giants agnst Detroit matchup…..
Thanks
Hey Vich … was wondering where you were. Nice team!
Bradshaw, AJ, Marshall, Sjax and Nicks. Tough to sit Megatron and Boldin though. It’s going to be impossible to get the right combination out of those 7 … good problem to have but can be frustrating. Normally I would never suggest sitting Megatron, but with those other choices, you don’t have to risk it. Get the points.
Nicks, Bradshaw, AJ, Marshall and SJax. Megatron is a pretty risky play when you have all of those other great options.
I traded Arian Foster and MSW for Jennings and Hernandez, was that a good move? A little background, I lost Finley and Clayton for the season,I am in a 12-team PPR dynasty league(1.5 pts for TE) and my roster is now:
Big Ben
Flacco
Henne
Freeman
AP
Hillis
Greene
Bell
Huggins
Gerhart
Woodhead
Austin
Jennings
Ward
Gibson
Naanee
Clayton-IR
Clark
Hernadez
Finley-IR
Longwell
KC
MIA
OAK
Questionable. I’m not a MSW fan at all so that’s okay there. I look at this as Foster for Hernandez and Jennings. At least you have AP. You have a deeper lineup now but your lineup was more scary with Foster and AP. I’m not fully on the Foster train just yet and I’m a bit concerned about your RB depth now. I’m not a big fan of making trades like that due to injury, especially in that Finley is probably your starter when he returns, next year or later this year.
But, on the surface, the trade is “okay” … but I don’t think I would have made it until Jennings was producing at a higher level. It is PPR so that does help a bit. What happens when Hillis is no longer starting?
gave up fosters’ potential for this hmmm refund please
Foster is clearly the best talent in that deal, I probably would not have done that.
12 Team Keeper league non-PPR. Scoring as follows QB: 1 pt for every 20 yds passing RB/WR/TE 1 pt for every 10 yds Touchdowns (QB/RB/WR/TE): 0-9 yds: 6 pts 10-39 yds: 9 pts 40+ yds: 12 pts. Field Goals: 0-39 yds: 3 pts 40-49 yds: 5 pts 50-59 yds: 10 pts 60+ yds: 12 pts Return Yards: 2 points for 40, and then 1 point for every 10 thereafter
Start 1 QB, any combination of 5 (maximum of 3 RB’s and TE is not required), 1 K
Byes are killing me this week, also TE’s Celek (vs ATL), Gonzalez (PHI), Moeaki (Hou) are available if you think I should pick any of them up and plug them in. Thanks for the help, I know it’s a mess.
QB: Cutler (SEA); Ryan (ATL)

See a priest! Fast!
QB: Cutler
RB: Mendy is your only choice
WR: Floyd, Smith and Williams.
TE: Cooley and pick up Celek quickly!
Kaeding.
PPR, 5pt bonuses for 100 yrd rush/rec.
I have my voltron force of AP, Gore, and Rice at RB… and I really just feel like I dont need to screw up the WR picks. Currently starting Britt, Floyd, Djax, and Wallace BUT! I have Harvin, Williams (TBB) and Megatron as possibles but they each have question marks (and a tough matchup in Johnson’s case) around them. Britt has a good matchup and Young seems to like him (esp. in redzone), if anything I’m thinking about going Harvin over Djax after last week and because Djax hasn’t done anything with Kolb at QB.
Appreciate your thoughts, thanks!
You have to get Harvin in there someplace. I’d start him over Britt.
Whew. Tough call.
Britt’s been on fire lately, I’d probably play it safe and go with the hot hand – Britt.
Calvin Harvin Britt DJax thank me monday
Who to start in a PPR dynasty league Hillis or Greene?
Greene. Don’t like the Hillis matchup at all.
Second that!
PPR league, 2 QB
QB(pick 1): Hill, Kolb, Freeman, Campbell
Pick 2 (1 WR + Flex):
RB Greene
WR Edwards, Jennings, Mike Williams (TB), Manningham
Kolb
Edwards and Jennings.
Not great choices but the PPR takes you to the WRs.
Kolb
Not wild abut any of those options.
I think Greene will be a safer bet than any of the WR’s. Then go with Jennings if Rodgers starts, Edwards if not.
PPR league
Pick two:
Greene
Hillis
Green-Ellis
Brown
T. Jones
Pick two:
B. Tate
J. Knox
D. Bryant
M. Thomas
Brown and Green-Ellis. Tjones is a close #3 but I’ll take BGE on Monday night, even against a tougher D.
Knox and Bryant if he plays. If not, roll with Tate and pray.
Agree with Jeff on these.
Dynasty PPR
Better RB2 – Lynch or Green-Ellis?
Better fill-in if Calvin Johnson is out – James Jones or Brandon Tate?
Thanks
Lynch has the better matchup and should be motivated.
Need to see something from Tate first, James JOnes.
I’d be nervous about starting Lynch until we see something from him. If you want to play it safe, go with Law Firm. If you want to take a chance on higher upside, take a shot on Lynch.
Agreed re: Jones.
Who would be a better play…
Aaron Rodgers (If he plays) after his “mild concussion”
or
Vince Young @ Jax
thanks
Rodgers without a doubt.
Absolutely.
From: bdynomite
League Type: Dynasty
Teams: 8
PPR: Yes
IDP: Yes
QB: M. Schaub vs KC or M. Ryan @ PHI
I’ve been starting Ryan the last couple weeks and he’s outperformed Schaub but I think this is the week Schaub has a better game. Leaning toward Schaub.
RB: A. Foster vs KC or J. Charles @ HOU
Probably going to roll with Foster but he laid such a stinker for me last week that I’m a little worried. Charles seems to be getting more carries with every week. Leaning toward Foster.
WR/TE: D. Bowe @ HOU or D. Bryant @ MIN or P. Garcon @ WAS or M. Sims-Walker vs TEN
Dez and Garcon are questionable, Bowe hasn’t done much so far this year, and MSW is MSW. Who do I go with here?
Schaub
Foster
Bowe. Yuck.
I ever Bowe is going to have a breakout game, it’s going to be this week against that awful HOU pass D.
Go with Bowe.
I’d play Ryan over Schuab, and Foster over JC.
Which 2 WRs should I start?
Steve Smith {NYG}-(DET)
Wes Welker-(BAL)
Jabar Gaffany-(NYJ)
Welker and Smith
Yep … Welker and Smith
TD heavy format
in a bind at RB this week with byes (D.Williams) and injuries (PT and Reggie Bush)
I’m Starting Addai already and have Hart on my roster in case Addai doesn’t go Sun Nt.
I need to pick 1 more from M.Barber @ Min or C.Williams vs. NO
Thanks
I wouldn’t expect much from Caddy, but even then he’s still a better play than Barber, who has looked terrible so far this year.
Gotta roll with the Caddy.
Jabar Gaffney or Mike Wallace? Standard league.
With Big Ben back against CLE, go with Wallace.
Wallace
2 questions.
1st is for PPR scoring. Cant make up my mind on last flex position.
L. Betts @ Bucs
R. Williams @ Vikings
I think PT is going to miss another week so I may ride with Betts once again. Suggestions??
2nd Question is Standard scoring, No PPR
I need 2 of these wr’s:
M. Wallace vs Browns
Collie @ Skins
Harvin vs Dal
and 1 of these rb’s
Forte vs Seahawks
Charles @ Texans
I’d roll with Betts, it looks pretty likely he’ll get the bulk of the carries there.
I like Wallace with Big Ben back against CLE over Collie or Harvin.
Both Forte and JC are looking good this week, so I think either will be a fine play, but I’d probably roll with Charles in a non PPR league. I think the upside is a little better there.
Betts.
Collie is a must start right now. I like Harvin #2 there.
I’d go with Forte’, he’s the primary back and will get the touches at the stripe too.
PPR League
Even if Calvin Johnson plays, would you start Mike Wallace instead due to CJ’s tough matchup against the G-Men?
Yeah, Megatron is a GT decision, looking pretty iffy, especially against that Giants D. I’d roll with Wallace.
pick two wr
Louis Murphy @ SF
Lance Moore @ TB
MSW v TEN
Does it matter more to anyone when a guy plays Monday night? (MSW)
OR
How much to consider when playing against Brees this week? (Moore)
I’d say it’s pretty close between Murphey and MSW. I’d probably go with Murphey, since he seems to be targeted a little more consistently.

Z Miller (Oak) or Moeaki this week?
The obvious choice is Miller, who is averaging 7 targets over the past 4 games to Moeaki’s 4-5. But Moeaki’s match-up is fantastic, Houston seem to be giving up more to TE’s than anyone this season.
Plus I’m playing Murphy at WR. So, do I rely on Miller and 2 Oakland players or.. take a risk for upside and play Moeaki??
Cheers guys.
Wow, good situation to be in. I don’t think you can go too wrong wither way.
Not wild about either QB.
Both TE’s are playing great.
Both on the road.
The SF/OAK game is almost like a division rival game, and I bet SF is just crazy desperate.
So if ti were me I’d play Moeaki. But again, I don’t think you can go wrong with either one, so trust your gut on it.
In a ppr league pick 3
Sims-Walker, Crabtree, Knox, G.Jennings, E.Royal or Moeaki
then Cutler or Orton?
lastly M.Williams TB or Welker in ppr
Thank you
I think Orton is going to have a pretty big day despite playing against the Jets D. Orton.
Welker for sure.
Knox and Royal. If Rodgers plays, then Jennings. If not, Crabtree.
Trade question…
My line-up
RBs: AP, Pierre Thomas, Jonathon Stewart
WRs: Miles Austin, Brandon Marshall, Jeremy Maclin, and Kenny Britt
Another owner wants either Austin or Marshall for one of the following RBs: Jahvid Best, Michael Turner, Peyton Hillis, or S-Jax.
It’s obvious I need RB help with PT being hurt. Any thoughts on who I send and who to request?
.2 ppr, btw.
Thanks guys.
Dynasty league? If it’s a dynasty league, I don’t care to move either Austin or Marshall there. Both are stud WRs and you are getting a bit of a extra on the PPR. I’m not sold on Best’s longevity in the league due to injury and Turner is getting older. Hillis is a sell high candidate. S-Jax is okay but not straight up for either of those WRs.
I wouldn’t sell your strength for a RB2 in this situation. The Thomas situation hurts a bit but don’t overreact. If you feel you absolutely have to, see if you can do a sell high on Maclin or Britt for a lower end RB2.
drop Murphy for Breaston?
Dynasty league? If so, I wouldn’t. I still like Murphy and Breaston has been less than special this year.
Hello. I am newer to the site and love it.
Dynasty league, non ppr, standard 6 point per td scoring. Start two qb’s, 2 rb’s, 3 wr/te, k, DEF.
Qb’s are Roethlisberger, Flacco, Vick, Hassleback, Clausen, Bulger. Starting Flacco and Roethlisberger.
RB’s are A.P., Benson (Bye), Moreno, Lynch, Forsett, B. Scott, Deji Karim, Rashard Jennings, Buckhalter
Currently starting A.P. and Lynch. Is that the right move or do I roll with Moreno?
WR’s are Rowdy Roddy White, Boldin, Holmes, Britt, Bess, M. Sims-walker, Heyward Bey, Lance Moore, Brandon Lafell and Owen Daniels.
Starting White and Boldin. Can’t decide on the third receiver. Long term I hope it is Holmes, but does Britt or bess deserve a look here?
Thank you very much. Also, need a little bit at qb for the future, any sleepers that could be stashed in a keeper qb heavy league?
Thanks for the comment!
RBs – You’re right with AP and Lynch.
WRs – Non PPR go with Britt, at least until Holmes is more consistent

Hey Guys
PPR
Smith (NYG) or Bess this week?
Smith has the better match-up and is averaging 8 targets plus per game, but Bess gets a lot of looks too, 7 or so per game and could be Henne’s outlet in a tough game at GB.
My instinct is Smith is safer this week, what do you think?!
Good analysis and I agree.
Hey Guys
In a different league again PPR weighing up between Bess and Gaffney.
Gaffney has been very good until now and outscored Bess but the matchup is scary this week so leaning towards Bess.
What do you think?
With PPR I think Bess is your safer play. Toss up as to which may get in the endzone but Bess’s role is expanding.
rothlisberger or e manningand a hernandez or z miller {oak} standard league thanks alot guys
I know a lot of people that are itching to start Big Ben this week but Manning has been pretty good of late, I’d start him. Tough to not start Miller even though I think Hernandez is going to have a nice game. I’d go with Miller.
bradshaw or forte- wallace royal holmes floyd or d jackson pk 2 standard
Rodgers or Cutler?
PPR league – pick one WR and one Flex:
R. Brown, L.T., M. Williams (TB), Austin Collie, B. Edwards, M. Wallace.
Leaning towards LT and Williams
Hey Guys,
Great site, always appreciate the extra input…
Flex Spot – Non PPR
BJackson- Will GB rely more on the Run with Rodgers getting banged up last week?
Felix Jones- coming off a good last week, getting the ball more now.
or I also have a Garcon and Manningham sitting right now too.
Thanks in advance.
Dex or Dez (Mccluster or Bryant )
And orton or Rodgers?
Thanks
One more question. Thanks for the answer above.
PPR league, redraft, standard 6 point per TD scoring system.
What receiver should I start? Garcon, Britt or Knox?
In my flex, I can use a receiver above or Michael Bush, Hillis or Ronnie Brown. Who should I start here?
Thank you again.
