Rams D kick you in the nuts too?

Kyle Orton vs Oakland or Big Ben vs Miami?

1 WR
1 Flex



Who would you fill them with:
Mike Wallace and Hines Ward vs Mia
TO vs Atlanta
Darren McFadden vs Denver

TO and DMC, pending health. He looks like he'll start, and I know they think Bush is the starter out there, but once DMC starts reminding them what he was doing before he went down, they'll keep feeding him the ball.

TO is always a HR threat, so I'd take that over Ward or Wallace.

I need more RB/WR/Flex help, some cast of crappy choices....

I need to start 2 RB's, 2 WR and Flex.

My RB's are set at:
Peterson
L. McCoy

What's left:
Colston
Lee Evans
CJ Spiller
Dez Bryant
Hightower
Anthony Armstrong (just named the starter, I think I am going to go with him for sure)
N. Washington

I guess I have to stick with Colston, and like Armstrong, so really unless there's a compelling reason not to, I just need to fill the flex spot with a RB or WR.

I don't have much faith in the rest of the choices. I wish Calvin Johnson didn't have a bye week. Ricky Williams is out there on the waiver wire but it's a bad week to play him vs. PIT. I might make room for him though, maybe his season will pick up.

I am leaning towards Hightower but might get lucky with Washington, he might be get a TD this week and it is PPR.

I go with Ward not that big ben is back. And then it's a toss up between TO and DMC. I would check the opponent rank (atlanta's pass D and denver's run D) and go from there. And as Eriadoc said, depends on health.

[Hardcore Texan]

Any advice out there?

[LikeMike]

Matt Forte or Jamaal Charles? I have Chris Johnson as the other starter at HB.

That's tough. I don't think you can go wrong. I'd use the positional rankings as the tie breaker.

Good thing I started DMC!

Yep! Ward had a good game to right?

On Sunday morning I dropped the Chargers defense and picked up the Skins defense. What a great move, those 23 points won me the game!

On another note, who would have thought to start Lee Evans against Baltimore's D? He got 34 points in my league too bad he was on my bench.

Brees & Ben going head to head this week. Which one to start?

Tough call.

How much do you lose for INTs?

Alright, I really don't know what to do. Should I start Wes Welker? My two starting WRs are set with Marshall and Calvin Johnson, but my flex is in flux.

My other options are Mike Wallace (who has scored both weeks Big Ben has been back), Michael Crabtree, and Beanie Wells (who was fairly productive last week).

Welker has been TERRIBLE the last few weeks, and I am a dumb ass for trading for him. What to do, what to do...

-2 for each int.

[Hardcore Texan]

Once again I need help with my team, Lesean McCoy is on a bye so:

I need to pick one RB, my Flex spot and 2 WR's:

RB's are (other than AP):
Hightower
Legarret Blount (picked up on a flier this week to stash on bench)
CJ Spiller (don't know why I have held on to this guy, still holding out hope that he'll get hot later in the season)

Now I thought about dumping Hightower and grabbing our RB Ward for the Indy game. He is going to be spelling Foster and they have a porous run D. Hightower, Blount, and Spiller all have decent matchups if nothing else.

WR's:
Lee Evans (has he awoke from his slumber, Fitzpatrick is hitting a groove)
Calvin Johnson (must start)
Dez Bryant (roller coaster performer w/ a good match up against the jags)
Marques Colston (who knows, finally had a good game last week)
Anthony Armstrong (Skins starting WR opposite of Santana Moss, good matchup vs. the Lions)

[Hardcore Texan]

Right now I am leaning towards:

RB: Blount
Flex: Lee Evans
WR: C. Johnson
WR: Dez Bryant

[El Tejano]

I got a decision between Dustin Keller, Owen Daniels, and Marcedes Lewis. I am thinking OD had good games vs. Indy.

Normally it would be a no brainer, and one would expect Brees to bounce back but it's a tough matchup. I think Ben is the safer pick, Saints seem to be in disarray ATM.

That's your winner right there. Blount is getting more and more workload it seems. Lee Evans is as hit and miss as it gets, but as you said Fitzpatrick is on a roll.

As for CJ Spiller, it's worth noting that Fred Jackson got 23 carries last week. That doesn't bode well for Spiller.

That looks like the best bet to me. Colston gets some consideration but he just hasn't been consistent enough this season.

I would ride the hot hand in Wallace.

Daniels looked good against KC but that's the only good fantasy week he has had this season. Lewis lost his starting QB and his backup so there is a lot of uncertainty there.

I would go with Keller for sure.
