Marshawn Lynch @ Cle

At this point, I'm sitting VJax.

Meh, I think the difference between VJax and Lynch might only be a point or two. You're already on the right path either way.

Hope you didn't start Lynch. Just saw an injury report (during the game) that he has a lower back injury and is not in the game.

Haha, yeah I did start Lynch. Although Vjax only has 1 catch for 15 yards in the first half, so it may not be a big deal after all.

Sorry man. They had the Seattle/Cleveland game on here in Austin and I saw that report during a Texans commercial.

Texan4Ever · 10-23-2011

This HAS to be the WORST fantasy football season ever! I'm in the Yahoo league where we have offense (w/ kickers and defense) as well as defensive players and my team just flat out stinks!

Peyton Manning out in the beginning, Mendenhall doing nothing and than going off when he was on the bench, Chris Johnson doing nothing, so on and so forth.

I made a mistake in trading Stafford away and getting Kolb who has done nothing himself. My QBs are now Palmer (who sucked) and Painter.

It's ok, I'm up by 15 right now, with Ray Rice and Billy Cundiff to go after Colston is done. The opponent has Sproles and MJD, so I think I'm in good shape.

Check that, Colston just got another TD...

**Dutchrudder** · 10-24-2011

Tim Hightower's out for the season, Santana Moss out 5-7 weeks:

Quote:

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins running back Tim Hightower is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, and receiver Santana Moss will miss 5-7 weeks with a broken bone in his left hand.

The Redskins have now lost five offensive starters to significant injuries in the last two games.

Hightower's knee buckled during a third-quarter run in Sunday's 33-20 loss to Carolina.

Moss was hurt in the first half of the game. He had surgery Monday.

Washington lost tight end Chris Cooley, left tackle Trent Williams and left guard Kory Lichtensteiger in the previous week's loss to Philadelphia. Lichtensteiger is out for the season with torn knee ligaments, Cooley is sidelined indefinitely with a broken finger, and Williams is week-to-week with a sprained ankle.

Did you still win this match? Rice played like ****, and Sproles did very well.

Yeah, Colston and Sproles cancelled out at 28 points a piece, Rice and Cundiff combined for 9 points and MJD got 10, so I won by 5 taking a 6-1 record for sole possession of first place by two games

This week I'll drop Lynch and pick up either Murray (not likely) or Jake Ballard (possible). I need a TE for week 9 anyways, so Ballard can fill in then and be my flex this week. Hopefully I get him. Also trying to grab the Buffalo defense in place of the Titans D.

TexanSam · 10-26-2011

I hate that one of my leagues only has one RB position then the RB/WR position. I have Ray Rice as my top RB along with Darren Sproles and Frank Gore. Both are going against weak opponents so it's hard to decide who to start. Leaning towards Gore.

I may just try and trade Ray Rice for a better QB than I have. The league is edited so that it's 1 point for every 10 passing yards than the usual 25, so QB's usually have a lot of points. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the guy I usually go with.

b0ng · 10-27-2011

Conundrum of the day:

Start 2:

Dez Bryant @PHI
Marques Colston @STL
AJ Green @SEA

Leaning Colston and Green but Bryant has been pretty money this season as well.

Blake · 11-01-2011

Bryant obviously. Has the highest ceiling.

Green has been more consistent.

Edit: Just saw this was 5 days ago...

**Texans34Life** · 11-04-2011

Need to start 3 players from this list:

Jackson,DeSean PHI
Starks,James GB
Nelson,David BUF
Rice,Sidney SEA
Colston,Marques NO
Jackson,Steven STL

Jackson, Jackson and Rice (If Healthy)

Nelson has bad matchup vs. NYJ.
Colston has bad matchup vs. Bucs.
Starks isnt getting enough carries or yards to be a viable option.

That's what I was going to go with, but Rice going against that Cowgirl defense kinda kept me on the fence.

**Shaft75** · 11-06-2011

DJ Ware or James Jones???

I'd start James Jones. Don't know how many carries Ware will get even with Bradshaw out. Brandon Jacobs will become the #1 back and probably get most of them.

Trying to choose between Ryan Fitzpatrick or Matt Cassel. Fitz has a chest injury and is going up against the Jets D. Cassel hasn't been spectacular this year, but he's facing the Dolphins. Leaning Cassel.

**Dutchrudder** · 11-06-2011

Lol... I have Vincent Jackson and Willis McGahee on my bench right now. In fact, my bench is outscoring my starters at the moment. Down 103 to 95 going into tonight. I still have Ray Rice and Billy Cundiff, other guy has had all of his guys finish. I got this...

**Dutchrudder** · 11-08-2011

Well, talk about a wealth of talent. I have some trade proposals out to drain my bench for better players like Steve Smith and AJ Green. Dunno if anything will happen, but in any case having all these great players makes it tough to pick the right ones to start...

Pick 2:
Roddy White vs NO
Vincent Jackson vs Oak
Marques Colston @ Atl

Pick 3:
Ray Rice @ Seattle
Fred Jackson @ Dallas
Michael Turner vs NO
Willis MacGahee @ KC
L Blount vs Texans
