Thanks! That is who I had in my lineup.

**Hardcore Texan** · 11-24-2012

What do you guys think I should do at RB? I am hurting, and I just lost Magahee for the year too. Here's what I am looking at:

Mendenhall
Dwyer

Turner
Jaquizz Rodgers

Jalen Parmele

I had to get two of my guys handcuffed just to have someone guranteed to start. Lance Ball is available, but I'd have to drop someone, Romo is about the only one I would drop but that might help out a competitor. There's a log jam at 7-4, including me.

In the flex I am starting Cecil Shorts at WR. I could throw in a 3rd RB but right now I feel better about my receivers, it is a PPR league. My two starting WR's are Marshall and Denarius Moore. (Maclin, Rice, and Kendall Wright on the bench).

Parmele and Mendenhall for me. Agree with Shorts at flex, although you could consider Rice.

Thanks and repped!

**Say Watt** · 11-25-2012

I need to start a flex and a WR2. My options are:

Sproles,Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Jeremy Maclin, Parmele

League is PPR. I am leaning Sproles and Jordy.

I have a tough call.

I need to start 3...Only one is a easy decision.

Andre Johnson (obv)
Antonio Brown vs BAL
Titus Young vs IND
Greg Little @ OAK
Mario Manningham vs STL

I am in 5th and am playing the 1st place team, need to win to ensure the playoff spot.

That is tough. AJ and Antonio Brown would be definite starts for me. I'd probably lean Little for the 3rd player, but all 3 are on about the same level. More potential with Little IMO.

Señor Stan · 11-30-2012

at running back need to start 2 of 3

Marshawn Lynch @ Bears
Ahmad Bradshaw @ Redskins
CJ Spiller vs. Jaguars

Right now I am leaning Lynch and Spiller...

But with Brown out Bradshaw could be getting more looks in the red zone
Lynch vs Bears in Chicago also has me a bit worried.

Three defenses to choose from.
Texans at Patriots
Chargers at Pittsburgh
KC Chiefs at Browns

I currently own the Texans but the other two are available. Texans are the #4 best defense in my league, but the Pats are the #1 worst matchup in my league for defenses.

Chargers are 7th best and Pitt is 25th worst matchup
Browns are 11th best defense and KC is 30th worst matchup

What would you do?

I'd go Browns with Joe Haden playing. Good luck.

I like the Browns also, although I'd be tempted to stick with Houston. That might just be the homer in me talking.

Ha, I have the Texans DST in one league and I picked up the Bills defense to fill in for them this week. I'd go Browns as well.

**Playoffs** · 12-06-2012

Injuries have taken out 4 of my players(McFaddin,McCoy,Jordy,Harvin), so I've had to scramble (5 trades/pickups) to build something for a playoff run. What's your opinion on...

2nd RB to pair with AP:
Bryce Brown PHI @TB
Johnathon Dwyer PIT v. SD

Pick 2 WRs:
Greg Jennings v. DET
Mike Williams TB v. PHI
Denarius Moore v. DEN
Randall Cobb v. DET

Pick 1 TE:
B Myers v. DEN
K Rudolph v. CHI

performance, non-PPR

Brown is way too hot to bench right now.

Cobb for sure and probably Williams. I don't love Mike Williams but Philly has a terrible pass defense. Moore had a decent game against Denver earlier in the season but I fear he might see a lot of Bailey. Jennings I don't feel like you can trust yet.

Myers is rolling especially if it's ppr but Rudolph has also been a solid start over the last few weeks. You really can't go wrong here but personally I would go Myers.

**Hardcore Texan** · 12-06-2012

I am not sure if I should play Denarius Moore tonight. My other WR's are Brandon Marshall (shows questionable but should play), Cecil Shorts (concussion, doesn't look good for him to suit up), and Moore is usually my 3rd WR.

Guys on the bench are:
Maclin
Kendall Wright
Sidney Rice (also questionable)

I have to decide on Moore by tonight. Since he's healthy, I might just have to leave him in, cause if Shorts can't go (and he probably can't) than it's a toss up for one of these three.

Thoughts?

LikeMike · 12-06-2012

I'd definetly play Moore - the matchup is good, and with Peyton he should get some good points. I'd say he is a much safer bet than Wright or Maclin - and with all the questionables I'd say go for it!

Yeah, kind of where I am leaning. I shouldn't have even typed the name Maclin, I am to scared to play him, that QB situation in Philly has really hurt his fantasy value.

I'll probably replace Shorts with Rice if needed.

I feel you... I have Maclin burning a hole in my bench as well...
