I also have Ogltree but thats scraping the barrel. I think I'd rather risk it with Forte

Too late now, but I would've considered Ogie on Monday night w/Forte uncertain. Good luck.

I've got a couple of RB dilemmas in 2 different leagues and need some more opinions other than my own.

League 1 - Should I go with Cardinals Ryan Williams against the Rams? Or Carolina DeAngelo Williams at home against the Seahawks?

League 2 - Willis McGahee at NE? Or Steven Jackson at home vs Arizona

Right now I'm leaning towards R. Williams and McGahee. Thoughts?

Ryan williams and Mcgahee for sure. Arizona and seahawks are run stopping defenses....

R. Wiliams and mcghee.

Seahawks defense is legit. D. Williams competes for carrys with Stewart, Tolbert, and Newton. R. Williams has better odds for success.

McGhee because I think denver's offense will be in the redzone more often and provide better scoring opportunities for him. I also think NE will be up early in the game and guard the pass more as the game goes into the 2nd half.

Could be wrong on both accounts but thats how i'd approach it.

Rivers vs NO or Cam Newton vs SEA?

I'm scared to start Cam. The Seahawks are downright thuggish.

Rivers

So it`s by week time for me... so no Cam Newton (I´m actually kinda relieved ;-). Right now I have Andy Dalton as my back up and he has a good matchup against Cleveland. But so far he has been meh this year, so I took a look at the waver wire. Here are my other options:

Alex Smith vs. Giants - had a monster week, but will have more trouble against the Giants. I could see the 49ers run the ball a ton.

Christian Ponder vs. Washington - great matchup, Ponder looked great, but I´m still not really comfortable with him back there.

So, Dalton, Smith or Ponder, who would you take?

majestrate · 10-09-2012

If it were me, I'd go with Dalton. I'll be hoping that he throws 40% of his attempts to the Law Firm

Dalton for sure.... He got 300+ yards and 3 TDs when he played the browns in week 2... no reason not too

'

Dalton, I'm actually trying to trade for him to fill in for Drew Brees this week. I like Ponder, but right now he's a game manager for the potential for a good game. Not a great game, just good.

Thanks guys, Ill stay with Dalton then!

SCOTTexans · 10-11-2012

Start 3 Non-PPR

Bowe Vs Buccs (either gets me 20 points or 6, it alternates each week)
Floyd Vs Broncos ( 10 point game or nothing... )
Wanye Vs Jets (jets shut down dre... but 10 points consistant and a 30 pointer career high last week)
Maclin Vs Lions (Looks great when healthy, doesn't play when not... but he's against the Lions)

also have Andrew Hawkins vs Browns, but i don't see any reason to start him.

Wayne, Bowe... toss up on the other two.

I know it is dumb to ask about a kicker, but I can't decide on who to keep. Jason Hanson DET or Matt Bryant ATL. Thoughts?

You really want to get all the points you can... I go Hanson. Just cause i think ATL will just score the TDs...

Bryant for me, but it's close.

Well they both kick in a dome so you cant go wrong there. I've got bryant and have been satisfied so far. Without having looked at scoring offense I feel like atlanta has the more consistent offense. I'd go bryant.

**Say Watt** · 10-11-2012

Thanks you guys. Seems it is as close in your eyes as it is in mine.

I tried to rep you, but MSR.
