This week! Two of the three. My gut tells me to bench AJ, but, CRAP, how do you bench AJ??????? We've been waiting for a breakout game, will this be it?? I say NO, not if he has Tillman on his arse all night. I'm leaning toward playing OD and Decker. CONVIENCE ME this is the right thing to do!! THANKS!!

AJ
OD
Decker

Start Decker for sure. OD is highly questionable to play Sunday so you need to watch it closely but I would probably go with AJ this week.

Jeremy Maclin or Amendola?

I'm not a Maclin fan, I would go with Danny especially in ppr but I am a Red Raider so I might be biased.

Yeah the Maclin situation has been very disappointing. Well actually it has more to do with Vick looking like the worst QB in the league than it does Maclin but as a fantasy player, Maclin has sucked.

I'm just worried about Danny's injury. Is he really going to be able to put up some numbers against the San Fran D?

Thanks guys! AJ and Decker it is!!

Who should I play in the flex, I need to choose one of the following:

Sidney Rice
Jonathan Dwyer
Jeremy Maclin
Kendall Wright

Too bad it's too late for Cecil Shorts, he would have gotten me 22 pts. Right now the nod is going to Rice. I might be able to be talked into Wright, but the other two scare me this week.

I think Rice is your best bet, but none of them are too enticing.

Thanks. I agree. Wright might have a good game with Locker coming back and the miami pass defense is not all that.

With Redman tweeting he's getting the start I have to pass on Dwyer.

I'd roll with Maclin, mostly because Cromartie has been effective shutting down WR1s so far. Tough call, though.

Looks like you couldn't have gone wrong. Danny is back, he had a huge game against an awesome defense. He also had an 80 yard catch called back in OT. I'm starting him going forward.

[SheTexan]

Wouldn't have mattered who I played, my team crashed and burned!! BUT, our TEXANS won so I really don't care!! On to next week!

[Joeycharp89]

Brandon Gibson, Cecil Shorts, or Rashad Jennings in the flex spot?

Gibson is going against the Jets. I could also bet on Ben Tate coming back this week and vulturing a TD with what should be limited touches.

So should I play OD over Decker? I know OD practiced this week, but, still don't know if Kubes will go easy on him due to his hip injury. I was planning to play Decker, but, my "gut" tells me to go with OD. BUT, if we get a sizable lead over the Kittie's, Kubes might sit some of his starters, including AJ and OD.

The Denver/SD game should be a good one, IMHO. PM always seems to pull off some kind of "magic" when he goes to the air. Decker has become a fav target. WHAT TO DO!!!???

CRAP, I hate trying to second guess this stuff!

I don't really like any of the choices. Cromartie is likely to match up on Gibson, Jennings isn't going to run on Houston and they will likely give up on the run early on into the game. Shorts has been good but I worry he might face Joseph.

I would start Shorts and hope Joseph covers Blackmon.

I answered you in another thread but I'll post here in case you missed it. Decker has 7 TD's in his last 6 games, to bench him at this point would be blasphemy.

Seconded.

Od's comming off injury. Its reasonable to expect the texans to dominate on the ground after an early lead.

Yea, I agree.

I was having one of my SENIOR moments in that other thread.. Really didn't mean to post anything about FF, just forgot it wasn't this thread. Kinda HIT me on a spur of the moment type of thing to ask.

[Say Watt]

Sproles, Amendola or Jordy? Pick 2.

League is PPR.
