If you're flip-flopping between two players, post here and let others give input.

My decision right now : Steve Breaston or Percy Harvin?

Obviously if Percy is hurt he won't play, but if he does get the start he'll still be injured and will be back in the #1 spot and most likely doubled. Breaston has just come back from an injury but posted a career game last week and has Larry Fitz opening things up for him. But, he's on the Cardinals with no QB.

This week is pretty big for me (make or break for playoffs) and my big players are on byes or just about to come back from an injury (MJD, Sid Rice, Torain) so I'm hurting.

I would go with Breaston. Percy is mad about his best friend getting cut and Childress is being dumb. Plus Percy might get a headache during the game.


I'm most likely starting Michael Turner and Willis McGahee, but I also got Ronnie brown, Shonn Greene, and Marion Barber. Still stay with the first two I'm already starting?
 
I have 5 RB's for 3 spots ....

- Ray Rice
- BenJarvus
- LaGarrette Blount
Mike Tolbert
Donald Brown

- indicates who im starting as of now, but its still a coin flip.
 
Gates is officially out.

I would be scared to play Breaston because I really feel like the Vikings will explode today, and finally put things together...even if it is just for a week. (They could go the opposite way too...but they are better than they have played)

Buddy...I think Greene might explode against the Lions today, but the guys you have starting is a pretty safe bet right now.

Barman- I would stick with how you have it now. However, Donald Brown will get his chance to start this week and this could be his only chance to redeem himself, as Addai isnt playing today.

Tolbert will still get goal line touches, but Matthews is finally healthy which means Tolbert's role will be diminished.


I cant pull the trigger on who to personally start between Mendenhall and Jamaal Charles. Mendenhall is the safer and consistent option, but Charles can blow up at any moment if they just give him the damn ball....
 
barman: keep those starters

itsyobuddy: stay w/ michael and willis imo

gates isn't playing

anddddd it looks like harvin is kind of injured (though hes probably playing) so stick with breaston
 
Are you guys all doing season long leagues, or anyone here play on Fan Duel (one day contest) and that is my sign up link in case your wondering.
 
yeah I left him in haha

Him and Turner already have TD's. Also Ronnie... guess I couldn't really lose. I was up in the air with those three and maybe greene.

I start Charles every week because aside from Peyton he's my favorite player in the league. It's frustrating to cap his carries like that especially in a game where they needed to prove themselves. Just dumb.
 
I thought I'd lost my matchup, I was down 54 points.

Vick just scored 30 points and the first quarter is not over yet. Best waiver-wire pickup I ever made. If I win this week, it'll be amazing.

Now McNabb needs to actually show up or they'll bench Vick cuz it's such a blowout.

35-14.. you are in luck.
 
60 points by Vick... game over.. insane. My opponent's probably crying. And it's not even the fourth quarter.
 
Keiland Williams, started in 3 leagues about 20 minutes before kickoff when I didn't like Shanahan's noncommittal response to Torain's playing time. Yeah, I'm that good.
 
Looking for opinions...up in the air on my 3WR spot. Sid Rice or Braylon Edwards?

Braylon hasn't done shit lately and is playing the Steelers...but he still is their 2nd target now and they're probably going to have to throw the ball a lot. Sid Rice is obviously back in action, but they play the Bears defense and have no quarterback.

Rice is more likely to get targeted, but Joe Webb will probably suck.
 
The thing about Rice is even with a shitty quarterback he can go and make plays himself. I know I am a steelers fan but honestly I doubt Braylon will have even a poor game. The weather forecast is calling for snow and lets face it Sanchez is a shitty quarterback in good weather.

My problem right now is who to start as RB, in the flex spot and my WR'S

Keep in mind I can fill two spots with one being my second RB and one in my flex spot. I have:

Ahmad Bradshaw (has a hand injury, still going to play)
Legarrette Blount
Rashard Mendenhall (Playing a stingy Jets run defense)
Ryan Torain

My WR's are: (2 spots available)

Hines Ward - Snowy day in Pittsburgh
Greg Jennings- Aaron Rodgers probably isn't going to play
Mike Williams - Tampa Bay



Suggestions?

For RBs I'd probably go with Blount against the Lions and Torain against Dallas. Especially with McNabb benched now and a shitty QB, they're going to be running the ball a lot. It's hard to bench Mendenhall though, so perhaps him over Blount.

I'm actually considering starting Torain over Jamaal Charles, but I probably won't.

For WRs, Jennings will still get any deep balls thrown and I don't really trust Hines Ward so I'd go with Jennings/Williams.
