Should I start Michael Vick or Matthew Stafford??????? Vick is questionable for Sunday, and I'm wondering how he'll do if he does start after the concusion last week.

[headsplint]

Drew Brees or Cam Newton??? Tough one this week. Normally I would easily go with Brees for the guarantee points, but he's playing us, and that usually doesn't factor into my decision much but I think it could go either way.

He could torch us, or we could be in his face all day.

I would go Stafford to be safe, Vick will put up points but if he takes 1 good hit...to the bench he goes.

Good on you for picking up Davis and locking up one of the top TE's this season (at least it looks like) which means he can't be used against you. There was no wrong answer there

I missed out on Gronkowski. He got picked up a day before I made my post.

Should I pick up Fred Davis? If so, who should I drop? I already have OD.

Only guy I could drop right now is LT. Think I should do it?

TEs available are Fred Davis, Dustin Keller, Jermaine Gresham, Scott Chandler, and some others. I also have Aaron Hernandez on IR.

I don't have much time left to do it. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

I would drop LT and pull the trigger.

I picked up Davis this week. Still trying to decide between him and Jermichael Finley.

Glad I didn't start Starks. Weird situation in Green Bay. Starks had over 100 yards last week while this week he has 11 carries and 5 (!!!) yards. Ryan Grant is having a good game though.

[El Tejano]

Ok. Here's what I got. Who can help me?

I had to get rid of Kenny Britt so I picked up WR Torrey Smith as a result. Wanted some insurance at WR because losing Kenny Britt was big. I saw Julio Jones so I picked him up and dropped Derrick Ward to get him.

So my receivers are:
Jordy Nelson vs. Denver
Brandon Marshall vs. San Diego
Vincent Jackson vs. Miami
Torrey Smith vs. NYJ
Julio Jones vs. Sea

My runningbacks are:
Ray Rice vs NYJ
Beanie Wells vs. NYG
Ben Tate vs. Pittsburgh
Cadillac Williams vs. Washington

Who do I start?

Tough one. Ray Rice definitely. I'd also definitely start V-Jax.

Do you need to start two RBs and 3 WRs, two RBs and two WRs and a flex, or what? Would help to know that.

I've got a conundrum:

Ben Roesthlisberger @ HOU
or
Joe Flacco vs NYJ

Who should I start?

couple of really good games. take the home starter Joe Flacco.

how about this one - TE - Dallas Clark or James Casey?

I'd still say Clark. Need to see if we are going to keep getting the ball to Casey like we have. Plus, the Steelers are TOUGH against TEs. But maybe they put all their focus on OD and Casey has another big game. Tough call but I'd lean Clark.

To extrapolate though, if James Casey has a halfway decent game and Clark continues to not produce it might be time. Colts are just having one of those seasons we, as Texans fans, have all hoped for. Based on matchups, you should start Clark, but you might want to be checking over your waiver wire to see if any good ones are just hanging out.

2 Rbs and 3Wrs. Yeah I"m starting Ricky and V.Jackson.

I think Casey's performance was a fluke, but that's just me. The Texans are turning into the Saints as far as fantasy goes, where you never know who's going to get the points week to week. In any case, I'd go with Clark against TB unless there are better TE's on the wire.

After last week's performance, I like Flacco and am down on Rapistburger because of his o-line.

Ravens!

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Then I'd do Rice, Beanie (if he is healthy and if not, I guess Tate) and V-Jax, Marshall, and Nelson.

[TexanSam]

Wondering if I should keep starting Frank Gore. I have Sproles as my backup running back so may start him this week instead.

Also, does anyone use ESPN Fantasy football? They have this stupid setting where you can't drop certain players and it can't be changed if you're in a standard FF league. It sucks because I wanted to drop Gore and pick up Daniel Thomas but can't because of that setting.

EDIT: Realized it's a LM league so the setting can be changed if the league manager decides to. I still think it's a stupid rule.
