I have Donald Brown and Peterson in my league, and I have Brown in the flex this week. I have the same problem though w/ Peterson and Pierre Thomas.

I would say both. But if choosing its Bush. He is the offense there. Much like Spiller in Buffalo right now or Foster in Houston.

Bush, no question (IMHO). With the way the Chiefs D has played, Cassel is the best bet to have a big fantasy day. We will get down 21-3 and he will end up throwing for 400.

Bush vs Rams. I think Charles will be useless because we'll have to abandon the run in yet another blowout loss.

Or am I overanalyzing this? lol.

****ing Nicks being out has put me in this situation. I have to start 3 of these WR's: AJ Green vs. Washington, Kevin Ogletree vs. Tampa Bay, Kendall Wright vs. Detroit, Randy Moss vs. Minnesota and Denarious Moore vs. Pittsburgh.

AJ Green is a given.

Which 2 should I start between Ogletree, Wright, Moss and Moore?

PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

I was thinking about it earlier, but didn't respond because it is a tough, tough decision. After week 1, I probably would have said Manning despite Houston's defense being as tough as they are.....but his sub-par week 2 performance against a D that I don't consider to be as good as Houston's D has kind of put a spin on things.

Honestly, I'd probably go Flacco....I think NE's D is more vulnerable to giving up FF points. With Brady on the opposing side and Boldin and Smith being relatively decent WR options for Flacco (along with a TE who has been doing well), I think that game has more potential of being a shootout....even though Brady will be going against a Ravens D that is tougher than the Arizona D that he did not do much against.

And then again, Manning did well against a tough Pittsburgh D......

I would probably go Flacco, but man that is a tough one.

Thanks for the responses.

If Manning hadn't looked just flat awful last week, I don't think this would even be an issue. Manning usually feasts on blitz heavy defenses, but I just feel he isn't quite back to that guy yet.

Basically, by me starting Flacco, it means Peyton will go for 35+ points today. So take that under adisement, KcMizzou. :D

Ha.. I was coming on just to say, "well, shit.. that didn't work out".

Honestly, though, who could foresee the benchings, and there WAS good fantasy points at the RB position for the Lions.

27 points worth in fact! The backup RB (in my league) scored 8 pts, close to Brown and more than Jackson. Just baffling that Smith got a big donut.

It's worth noting the Lions have a bye week after this Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings and could conceivably get two weeks of rest while missing only one game if it comes to that. "

I ended up going with Cassel so I was right with that. I also sat Fitzgerald because he has never played good against the Eagles and I completely overanalyzed it. I am never a guy that sits studs like that. I played Amendola in his place which ended up costing me 17 points.

I knew Leshoure was returning this week but figured he'd get limited carries his first game back.

The worst part is, my 2nd RB is now between Jackson and Brown. Jackson will be questionable for the rest of the season probably. I put in a waiver claim for NYG's Brown, but I'm undefeated so I'll be last on the waiver order.

Pick up Bilal Powell from the Jets, or put in a waiver wire if your waiver position clears each week. He's not going to be useable this week against SF, but I have to think he starts to get 19 carries to Shonn Greene's 10 the way he is running. I picked him up just to stash and watch.

Okay, not a “start ‘em” question – but what does everyone think about Ben Tate? I’m in a league with a short bench (5), and have had him stashed away as my lottery ticket in case Foster gets hurt. He hasn’t, and I’m getting annoyed at never having any space on my bench.

I was going to drop him for a waiver RB (a Ryan Williams/Leshoure/NYJ Powell type), but can’t talk myself into doing it.

What's the rest of your team look like?

Have you tried offering him to the guy who has Foster? Or a team that has jack shit for RBs?

Dartgod 09-27-2012 03:47 PM

Need to start 3 of the following (2 - RB, 1 - Flex)

LeSean McCoy
Darren McFadden
Jamaal Charles (I grabbed him on waivers after another team dropped him after his 6 carries, 3 yards against Buffalo)
Trent Richardson

I know what I'd like to do, but wanted the opinion of others since I have to decide on Richardson tonight.

Strong at WR (Calvin, Antonio Brown, Wayne)
Meh at QB (Romo, Luck, just picked up Flacco)
Depth at RB but no stars (Trent Richardson, Doug Martin, Alfred Morris, Ben Tate - Andre Brown got me a bunch last week but I dropped him)
TE: Graham


Unfortunately most of the best waiver wire RBs (Leshoure, Ryan Williams) were picked up when I was grabbing Flacco and deciding what to do about Tate.

With the way both have been playing, I'd almost take a flier on Draughn for the week.

The Packers are 9th in fewest points given up to RB's

San Diego is 17th.
