You know the deal by now. You ask. We answer.
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 get after it as the playoff weeks as we hit the halfway point!

pick 3 wr
mike williams @ NYG
anthony gonzalez @ PHI
wes welker @ CLE
brandon tate @ CLE
dez bryant @ GB
Williams and Bryant for me. Welker has been quiet and Williams should bounce back strong.
PPR league and need a little help at the TE spot this week. I can make an argument for all 3.
Tamme vs Eagles (Peyton still throwing to the TE even without Clark)
Gonzalez vs Bus (I am also starting Roddy)
Shiancoe vs Cards (With no Moss does Favre look to him again)
To me, it’s down to Gonzo and Tamme. I’ll go with Tamme as part of a dynamic offense.
Tough choice. Don’t want to start Roddy and Gonzo. Since it’s PPR, go with Tamme.
2 QB league ppr with 3 possible starting QBs using the flex. Here are my starters right now, offense only.
Rivers, Brady(vs Browns)
Mendenhall, Charles
AJ, Roddy
Tamme
Vick(vs Colts),T.O.(vs Steelers), or Colston(vs Panthers) for the flex
Right now I have Vick in my flex. I have thought about benching Brady, putting Vick in the starting QB role and starting T.O. in my flex. Over the past 4 weeks Brady has scored double digits just once and that was 12pts. T.O. has scored 21+ during those same 4 weeks.
Boy, with the option, I’d always take the QBs. Owens has been hot, but the Steelers give everyone fits.
12 Team, Dynasty League, PPR
Pick 1 QB: Vick, Kolb, or Eli.
Pick 2 WR: Ochocinco, SEA Mike Williams, Dez Bryant, Roy Williams, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Tate.
Pick 1 RB: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Brandon Jacobs
Pick 1 TE: Celek or Moeaki.
Pick 1 FLEX: Any of the unused above.
Pick 1 DEF: Saints or Steelers.
Love the site! Much appreciated!
QB: Vick
WR: M Williams, Bryant
TE: Celek
RB: Green-Ellis
Flex: Ocho
DEF: PIT
I’m brain dead tonight. See my other 17 responses to this one … but in the wrong spot. 🙂
0.5PPR need to choose 3 of the following 4. Big matchup this week (1st place vs. 2nd place team)
Mike Williams(TB) @ATl, Miles Austin @GB, Steve Smith (NYG) @Sea, Mike Wallace @Cinc.
Thanks
Boy, tough call. Austin and Smith are almost automatic. I’d take Williams since he catches more balls than Wallace.
From: bdynomite
League Type: Dynasty
Teams: 8
PPR: Yes
IDP: Yes
QB: M. Schaub vs SD or M. Ryan vs TB or M. Stafford vs NYJ
Schaub has been struggling lately with the Texans not giving him any pass protection while Ryan has been playing well. Ryan has the better matchup so I am leaning toward him. Stafford played very well in his first week back and could do well again this week.
RB: A. Foster vs SDC or J. Charles @ OAK
Every week I come to you with this same question, Foster or Charles. It’s a good situation to be in of course but it’s driving me crazy. So far I’ve been sticking with Foster who is a beast, but Charles has also been blowing up recently. Foster is the top RB in the league but is playing a rough Chargers defense and Charles has a pretty nice match-up against the Raiders. Help!
WR: D. Bowe @ OAK or D. Bryant @ GB or P. Garcon @ PHI or S. Johnson vs CHI or M. Williams vs NYJ or M. Williams @ ATL (pick 2)
Again, a constant area of issue on my team, with six or so WR2s with the ability to blow up or bust on any week. Leaning toward my two rookies as they have been playing well lately and match-up wise they are my best options. It’s still hard to sit players like Bowe and Garcon and even Johnson who’s been great lately? Is he for real?
TE: J. Gresham vs PIT or J. Tamme @ PHI
I must say, I didn’t listen last week and started Tamme over Gresham which thankfully won me my week. Do you expect more of the same out of Tamme this week? I love Gresham but until they get a new QB in Cincinnati, he’s going to waste. Thanks!
QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Foster can’t be benched until further notice
WR: I’d go with DeSean Jackson and Garcon
TE: Tamme
QB: Schaub, just can’t sit him for Ryan in my mind
RB: Foster
WR: Bowe and Jackson. If Jackson is scaring you, Garcon
TE: Tamme
Pick 3 WR’s for me PPR! Thank You!

It’s a tough mix, but I’d trust Crayton a little more as my third choice there.
Standard scoring
Pick (2) WR:
Austin @ GB
S. Johnson @ CHI
S. Breaston @ MIN
Knox @ BUF
Crayton @ HOU
Austin and a super hot Steve Johnson this week. In a PPR, I’d like Breaston over Johnson, but not in this format.
.5ppr w return yards gotta start rb, 2 wr and one flex. Byes kill me at rb this week so I just traded winslow and 6th for BJax. Dynasty. Out of wayne, nicks, Roy, Dexter , gtate, btate for wr. And bjax and caddy for rb, I think I’m submitting this lineup:
Wayne
Nicks
BTate
BJackson
agree?
That looks good to me. Tate is solid for your flex play, especialy in return yard league… No way I roll with Caddy.
Hi again no takers on a trade for Vick so should I start him or M Ryan..Unsure of WR D Jackson if he is starting or not….My season is in the balance.. STD 10 team ESPN League THANX
Vick is close to 100%. It’s not an ideal start, but I wouldn’t sit him. If you think you’re going to have enough points to win by a good margin, start Ryan for more safety. Vick has the most high-score potential though, but is risky.
12 team 1/5 PPR 22 roster dynasty
1) Pick one: Eli Manning or Matt Ryan
2) Pick two: Dwayne Bowe, Johnny Knox, Mike Williams (TB), Dez Bryant
3) Pick one: Mike Vick or Joe Flacco?
4) Pick two: Mendenhall, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jonathan Stewart, LeGarrette Blount?
Thanks so much you guys!!!!
I’d play Ryan I am also debating between Ryan or Vick both good match ups… Bowe and Williams….. Vick….Mendenhall…Bradshaw…. LOL this week
Ryan, Bowe, and M Williams for me. Bryant is on the verge, but I want to see one more game before recommending him.
1) Ryan
2) Bowe and Williams, but Bryant is a tough sit.
3) This is a tough one. I’d start Flacco this week.
4) Mendy and Bradshaw for sure
Hey guys,
Got a good dilemma this week, but still a dilemma none the less
I’ve got to start arian foster and green-Ellis but for my flex and two other WR spots i have
Maclin
wallce
Miles Austin
Chris ivory
Jonathan stewart,now that williams is out again and shonn green
How do you think I should fill out the flex and 2 wr spots?
Non ppr
Thanks
for what’s worth, I would start Wallace and Austin, and then flex Stewart. He didn’t have a great week 8, but he’s the guy they’ll call on and it’s worth a shot. Maclin is tempting, but we’ll have to see how Vick looks, and I’m sure where the chemistry is between those two.
I’d go with Austin, Maclin and Stewart this week. Call me crazy, but I think this is the week Stewart posts something at least decent.
Austin and Maclin for me. Stewart is a risky start this week, but I’d start him over those other options.
Steve Smith (CAR), Wes Welker, Fred Jackson…choose 2.
I’m an absolute train wreck with injuries and bye weeks so could use some crack advice:
Pick 2:
(TE’s can start in WR slots)
Dwayne Bowe
Patrick Crayton
Percy Harvin (injured and no Moss)
Jacob Tamme
Austin Collie (who may be going)
A little help…THANKS!
Bowe and Collie for me. Collie and Manning have too much man love for each other.
12 Team PPR League
Who should be my QB?
Big Ben (CIN)
Cutler (BUF)
Who should be my RB2?
Blount (ATL)
Wells (MIN)
Brandon Jackson (DAL)
D-Will (NO)
Pick 2 WRs?
Welker (CLE)
Dez (GB)
Steve Smith (NYG)
Steve Johnson (CHI)
Hestor (BUF)
Who should be my TE?
Fasano (BAL)
Daniels (SD)
Thanks
Roethlisberger at QB for sure. I love Blount at the No. 2 RB. In a PPR, I like Welker and Smith this week, and I think Fasano should give you at least something.
Good luck!
Roethlisberger
Toss up between Blount and Jackson (who’s coming on). I’ll take Blount. Since it’s PPR go with Smith and Welker, but Johnson is a tough sit with Welker struggling. I still start Welker.
Daniels.
Please pick 2 in a ppr league.
Dez, M.Williams tb, M.Williams sea, or Steve Johnson
have you heard anything about Antonio Bryant lately?
in a non ppr league, do I go with B.Jackson or Green-Ellis
lastly C.Palmer or Cutler.
Thank you
I’d go with M Williams (SEA) and Johnson. In the other, I’d take Green-Eliis. He’s on a hot TD streak. I’d go with Cutler over Palmer as well, based on the matchup.
As far as Bryant goes, he’s looking at getting some money from Cincy, but that’s it. He’s droppable in dynasty leagues.
TB Williams and Johnson.
Antonio Bryant is done. I don’t see anyone taking a chance on his knee, even for the veteran minimum. And even if they do, I don’t think he’ll pass a physical. I put my money where my mouth is – I dropped him in my 2nd Dynasty league.
Hello again. I need your help, please.
Dynasty league, non-ppr, standard scoring.
Start two qbs: Vick (Indy), Flacco (Miami) or Big Ben (At cinci) Which two should I start?
Start two RBs: Starting A.P., Can either start Lynch (NYG) or Benson (At Cinci) Who should I start?
Start three Receivers: I am starting White and Boldin, Need one from this group: Bess (At Baltimore), Holmes (At Detroit), Lafell (NO), or Lance Moore (At Carolina). Who should I start?
Thank you very much for your input and for doing this. It is much appreciated.
Vick and Roethlisberger for me in a two QB league.
I’d actually take Lynch and cross my fingers. I think the Steelers are going to feast on Cincy.
Your last WR should be Bess. He’s startable in a non-PPR at this point.
QB: Tough choice. I’ll take Vick and Flacco
RB: Have to start Lynch. PITT’s D is too tough.
WR: I’d start Moore. I don’t like him non-PPR
Don’t ask me how I ended up with Chaz Schilens, Louis Murphy and DHB on my dynasty team. Which of these guys is the stud worth keeping for next year and beyond?? One of these guys has to emerge….right??
I’ve always liked Louis Murphy, the kid’s more dynamic and if you have followed us on DLF, you know he was a super sleeper of ours. I’m sticking with him. I like Schilens too but he can’t stay healthy. DHB is okay, but I think he’s too much like Michael Jenkins in ATL.
Campbell or Favre – TD only league .
Dynasty League, no-ppr, points for return yards:
Pick 2 (1 must be a WR)
Jacoby Jones, Stefan Logan(RB/WR), Mike Goodson, James Jones, Bernard Scott
Pick 1 TE:
Back to Celek (who has shown nothing with Vick) after the bye or
Stay with Tamme (who caught a TD and dropped a second last week)
Pick 1 QB (ppr redraft, all TDs 6 points): Vick or Stafford
Yikes. If this was Scrabble, I’d turn back in all my tiles.
I’d go with Jacoby Jones and James Jones, Tamme, and Vick.
James Jones and Mike Goodson. I think Goodson will be okay for you with return yards and 3rd down duties.
12 team dynasty league (PPR)
I traded a 2011 1st rd pick for Jonathan Stewart. My RB’s are now AP, S.Jackson,Greene, Woodhead,and Stewart. My thought process was that D. Williams will not be back next season, Otah has been hurt, and the Panthers have to upgrade the QB position next year. What do you think about my trade?
Well i can’t speak to exactly how Stewart will perform, I do think you painted an accurate depiction of the likely scenario being that Williams is a potential FA and the current CAR situation/lineup will improve. If I were you, I’d pray to moses that Stewart has a good game sunday. A couple more performances like last Sunday and CAR might not be so hasty in letting D-Willy go.
You killed that owner and struck at the right time. Congrats!
12 team Dynasty league (PPR)
Need to start 3
Watson, Ben
Hernandez, Aaron
Stewart, J RB
Woodhead, D RB
My opponent will be starting Tom Brady if that matters at all, Thanks guys!
Stewart, Woodhead and Hernandez for me this week. I can’t trust Watson with McCoy at the helm quite yet.
I play in a non PPR league which is heavily slanted towards TD’s. Points for yardage is much less than for more traditional scoring systems, however return yardage is used.
Need to select two of the following three players (average scoring for each player is listed showing the effects of lower points for yardage scoring setup). Tate is my leading receiver this year because of the return yardage being used.
Michael Bush (5.7)
Steve Breaston (3.8)
Brandon Tate (7.3)
I’d go with Tate and Breaston based on the scoring system. That league must be maddening at times!
12 team PPR Dynasty league
Would you trade G. Jennings and Hernandez for Andre Johnson?
I’d trade Jennings, Hernandez and quite a few of my relatives (even some I like) for Johnson.
16 team PPR. What reciver should I start Braylon Edwards or Patrick Crayton?
My lineup is
Brees
Lynch
Blount
Austin
Maclin
T.O
Gates
Raiders D
Edwards tends to catch a long bomb or nothing. I’d rather go with Crayton in a PPR and play it a little safer with that lineup you have.
Keep an eye on Gates’ status tomorrow, though…
PPR, Greg Olsen or Ben Watson?
I’d go with Watson…and your parents just left for the airport without you!
“he put onions in the eggs”. Love that line of yours from Uncle Buck.
Watson.
Probably not the right discussional forum… but;
Whats DLF’s take on S. Rice? What do you guys think of his chances to be a legitimate contributor this year. Just wondering managers can expect some late season/playoff production from Rice. Marshall seemed to return from the same surgery in effective shape.
This forum is good enough. I love Rice, but I hate the Vikings right now. I think Rice is a solid buy low prospect long term, but you just can’t expect a miracle in the short term this season. The Viking ship is sinking quickly.
Rice has much more value next year. I worry about his conditioning after being out so long. He’s a stud and a great kid, but you can’t be out that long and be in top shape. And the Vikes are, well, uh … not very good right now.
Hi Guys!
PPR league TDs are 5pts
pick 2 RBs – Bradshaw, Foster, Jahvid Best, J Stewart, Woodhead
pick 3 Wrs- Bowe, Harvin, DeSean Jax, SS-Carolina
Thanks
Foster and Bradshaw are no brainers for me.
Bowe, DeSean and Smith are the healthiest three…
Need 1 QB – Ryan, Vick, Sanchez? Are you guys worried about Vick getting off to a bad start and getting benched for Kolb?
I have to sit one of these guys – who should it be?
Anquan Boldin, Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Hakeem Nicks?
Thanks
I’d go with Vick. You never know what could happen, but his performance thus far hasn’t left you thinking Kolb is a better option.
If you have to sit one of those five, it would probably be Marshall for me, but it’s close between he and Boldin.
Are you stalking us? If so, you’ve come to the right place! After your 50th question, you have to spend a day checking out our advertising links on the site here. Get busy!
I start Vick unless I don’t want the risk.
Wow … that is some group. I’m going to fry for this one – Sit Johnson, that ankle is not responding.
Hey Folks,
Appreciate any input on my 12 team non ppr league
QB…
Stafford off a good week vs. Jets
Schaub vs #1 SDC
Flex…
M. Manningham
C. Ivory
E. Bennett (thinking going to have a big week)
Thanks
I’d take Schaub against SD. The Jets are due for a big defensive performance.
I still like Ivory of those three…
Pick 3 wr for a ppr league out of: G. Jennings, S. Smith (Giants), Mike Williams (Bucs), and W. Welker.
Pick 2 wr for a non-ppr league out of: M. Williams (Bucs), A. Collie, and James Jones.
Thanks for your help.
Welker, Jennings and Smith would be the combination that I’d go for. I like M Williams and Jones for the other.
I think I sit Welker from that group. He hasn’t been the same for the past couple of weeks and those others are posting well.
Williams and Collier. Jones is a sneaky start this week, but not over those too.
Pick 2 in a ppr league. Green-Ellis, C.Benson and D.Brown Colts
in same ppr league Witten or Watson, I’m concerned Witten will have to block a lot more.
Thank you
I’d go with Brown and Green-Ellis, but Benson is a close third. I’d take Witten in a heartbeat over Watson.
BGE and Brown this week. Benson plays vs. a VERY tough PIT “D”.
Witten without even a second thought.
ppr
Law Firm
Forte
Ray Rice
pick two
Tom Brady vs cle
Eli Manning vs sea
Pick 1 for
20payd = 1
Patd= 4
Int= -1
PPR scoring..Neeed a flex with guys on byes..Lynch vs Giants or F. Jackson vs Bears…Im not feeling confident with any of them.
Suggestions??
I wouldn’t be confident, either. I’d go with Jackson because that NYG line looks brutal.
Dead meat either way this week. Jackson will get more touches I believe. Start him.
12 team PPR League
Who should be my RB2?
Blount (ATL)
Wells (MIN)
A. Bradshaw (SEA)
Brandon Jackson (DAL)
D-Will (NO)
Pick 2 WRs?
Dez (GB)
Steve Smith (NYG)
Steve Johnson (CHI)
Hestor (BUF)
I like Bradshaw for sure as your RB2. Your two WRs should be S Smith and S Johnson in my mind.
Would it even be a decent option to start Shonn Greene against the Lions over Benson vs the Steelers considering I am already starting Ladanian vs the Lions? What are the odds Greene out scores Benson this week. All my other options are on BYE this week. Should I go with the all Jets backfield, or stick with Benson against the Steel Curtain?
I wouldn’t take that risk with Greene. If the Jets somehow don’t produce on the ground, you’re toast. You never know when a pass interference call could get the Bengals a first and goal at the one.
I just wouldn’t recommend Greene and Tomlinson together. The only two RBs from the same time I’d recommend at this point if you were in a pinch would be Charles and T Jones.
To me, Benson and GReene are the same type of back and while Greene has the much better matchup this week, if you already are starting L.T., you’re capturing that matchup. Benson will get 90% of the RB touches, even against PIT and he has a history of playing well vs. the tough defenses. Take the guaranteed touches of Benson.
Thinking about offering a trade in 0.5 PPR league. I could wait until next week since Miller’s on a bye. At WR I have Austin, Burleson, Welker, Knox and TB Mike Williams. At TE, Tamme and Z. Miller (OAK). Required to have 2 TE on roster. I’d offer Welker & Z. Miller and let the other owner choose 1 WR & 1 TE from his roster: WR: Harvin, S. Holmes, Jennings (don’t want Jenkins) TE: H. Miller, Shockey. Is it worth trying, or should I keep my depth at TE? Thanks!
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
