I decided to put Colston back in the line up. so I got:

CJ
Colston
Ricky (flex)

still starting Blount and AP.

[Hardcore Texan]

well I had a nice day. 146 pts and counting, still got Colston left to play. Blount had a great day, as did a lot of my "studs".

For the record, I HATE Randel El. That little p word cost me my whole game.

Who else did you start? Jamaal Charles and Calvin Johnson both had great days for me. I am up 94-55 on my opponent. Should be interesting though as I have Arian Foster and he has Matt Schaub. If Schaub has the game of his life and Foster doesn't do much, it could be competitive. But I highly doubt that.

Wish I had started Blount. I did swap out Welker/Wallace for Beanie Wells which turned out to be a decent move. Overall good day for me yesterday, and I am the leader in points this week.

Ended up with 165 pts, far more than anyone in my league, I am excited about the rest of the season as I finally may have got another quality RB in Blount.

I started:
Rivers
Peterson
Blount
Ricky Williams
Colston
CJ
Moeaki
Redskins D
Sebastian J.

on the bench:
LeSean McCoy
Anthony Armstrong
Dez Bryant
Matt Ryan
Tony Gonzales
CJ Spiller
Lee Evans

Witten or Miller? Miller has had a steller year, until last week when he was pretty much shut out (and Witten got 15 on the bench).

Welker's ass is going to the bench. I'm tired of Brady (my QB) trying to find as many ways as possible to score without throwing the ball.

Pick TWO (one must be a wr):

Woodhead
Beanie Wells
Ricky Williams
Bryant
Manningham

NOT a ppr league. These guys have been so freaking inconsistent they either get 2 points or 20.

My advice:

Sit ALL Texans players. For the rest of the season.

Because you can't possibly calculate which DAY out of the remaining 9 Sundays you can get points out of any of them.

Just don't do start a Texans player. You've been warned. Heed my advice and be happy, or ignore it and be eternally angry with the outcome.

Not Foster - he's gotten my wife good points each week, awesome points other weeks.

That Andre Johnson guy is pretty good too...

[Hardcore Texan]

What FA D/ST should I pick up? I need a bye week fill in.

I thinking Raiders or Lion. Believe it or not....lol

Lions all the way. They will get you points this week against the Jets. I expect Suh to wreck Sanchez's Sunday. The Raiders will probably be without Nmadi.

Um, Arian Foster is the #1 ranked player overall in my yahoo money league. I think I'll keep starting him from here on out.

Terrible, terrible fantasy advice. Stick to real football analysis.

Witten. Green Bay will jump ahead of the Cowboys and force them to throw the ball a lot, meaning that Kitna should lean heavily on Witten.

Welker's ass is going to the bench. I'm tired of Brady (my QB) trying to find as many ways as possible to score without throwing the ball.

Woodhead
Beanie Wells
Ricky Williams
Bryant
Manningham

NOT a ppr league. These guys have been so freaking inconsistent they either get 2 points or 20.

If you get return yardage, you have to go with Bryant at one position and Wells the other. I think I'd start Dez anyway. Have you considered dropping someone to pick up Ajirotutu against the Texans?

[alphajoker]

Rivers or Eli? If Rivers were playing against another 32nd rank team in passing defense I'd start him in a heart beat, but that's my problem, that 32nd rank team is my Texans. Should I start Rivers?

Bryant and Woodhead

Woodhead has been a consistent 10 = scorer lately.

Bryant because he gets more PT than Manningham and he also returns punts.

Depends on if you want to win your game.

Start Rivers.

I hate feeling this way.

But Bushs' defense is what it is.

That's my conundrum...I would like to win both. lol

[steelbtexan]

It's going to be a high scoring game.

Here's to the Texans out scoring them and picking up a much needed win.

LOL.

You're ASSuming Foster gets the ball enough in order to produce.

The smart play is to trade those guys, such as Foster, but not sure if those leagues have had a trade deadline pass already or not.

Foster could net someone a couple of players, or one really good one.

I just think the Texans are about to crater big time. The offense is broken, due to new o-coord, and its killing the whole offense. It's a risk to start Texans players. They're better used as trade bait.

That's a no brainer. Start Rivers.

He's been lighting it up. I have him as well, this is a juicy matchup. You can't play with your heart in FF, especially being a Texans fan...lol

Look at this way, he if he blows and Houton wins, it's a good day. If we get dominated at least you can say to yourself that your FF team did well. Best case, he puts up good numbers but Schaub out duels him.
