Tolbert @ Sea
or
Addai @ Den

Hernandez vs Buffalo
or Celek @ Jac

+1

sorry, skipped the flex part. imo DBryant>>TO>Thomas

buffalo has an underrated secondary and i'm sure the pats know that. i think they exploit mismatches over the middle with hernandez. its a bit of a gamble, and its hard to sit celek. but i'm not so sure what kind of a factor celek is going to be in a vick-led eagles offense.

That is what I was leaning towards. I really like Hernandez and the NE tight ends in general this year.

1/2 PPR otherwise standard scoring, no points for punt/kick return yardage. need to fill out my last flex spot this week:

CJ Spiller @NE
Brent Celek @Jax
Brian Hartline NYJ
Dexter McCluster SF
Joshua Cribbs @Bal
Devery Henderson Atl
Demaryius Thomas Indy



Any opinions? Was relying on CJ Spiller coming into year, but man hes sucked so far.

Prob. Hernandez.

Pick 1 WR, 2RB, 1 WR/RB flex .5ppr

(Starting Reggie Wayne for sure)
Andre Johnson vs. DAL (minor ankle sprain)
Nicks vs. TENN
Sims-Walker vs. PHI
Clayton vs. WASH

Tolbert @ SEA
Forte vs. GB
Benson @ CAR
Ricky Williams vs. NYJ
Harrison @ BAL

so i just thought about something... given reports about andre johnson's ankle, is starting kevin walter over mark clayton a good move?

Thomas > Henderson >>> Spiller > Celek >> special teams

Can't figure out who to start in my completely mediocre WR corps.

1pt/10 yards, 6/TD, -2/fumble lost

Pick 3 to start:
D. Thomas (Den) vs. Ind
Mason (Bal) vs. Cle
Harvin (Min) @ Det
Maclin (Phi) @ Jax
Hester (Chi) vs. GB

ugh. thomas, maclin, hester. higher upside imo.

Michael Bush looks like he's going to be back. I'm not saying that DMC is an insta-bench, but I like Foster better, even against a tough run D.

I don't think AJ's ankle is really going to affect him Sunday. I mean he came back into that game and made a couple great catches.

But even if AJ were 100% I would still be starting Walter over Clayton. Although Clayton has a few Ts, I'd still say Walter is more likely to score just b/c of the insane offense. And they've been using him more creatively this season with the limited role of Owen Daniels. He's been running more deep routes and been having a good deal of success on those routes. In 2008 he was mostly used as a possession guy. If they keep using him this way I think he could really have a bigtime breakout year. He's good enough to punish defenses for shading to AJ's side. And Schaub can get him the ball.

Maclin>>>thomas>jester

good points. schaub is my qb so perhaps starting walter will pay dividends as well. i'm anticipating another huge game for them against dallas.

also, fun fact: walter has more fantasy points than aj so far.

Pick 2: Std scoring, zero PPR

Brandon Jackson @Chi
Jeremy Maclin @Jac
Steve Smith vs Ten
Hakeem Nicks vs Ten
Jonathan Stewart vs Cin
Johnny Knox vs GB

Yeah I didnt think i could sit Maclin seeing as hes shown chemistry with Vick and thomas had a nice week last week too and is playing against an Indy secondary minus Sanders again, so he would be a tough sit too.

My problem is Hester/Harvin/Mason. Harvin and Mason have really nice matchups this week but whether or not they'll be healthy is a different story. Hester's playing against a decent GB def and who knows how long Cutlahhh keeps up his heater.

If I decide against Hester and both Mason and Harvin are cleared to play on Sunday - who do you guys prefer between Harvin and Mason?

This is what my instincts tell me. The Maclin/Jackson type WRs are so good with Vick because he's going to throw all kinds of crazy balls all over the field and just let them do their thing after the catch. Jacksonville plays very well at home but this team is so diverse and well balanced on offense that I don't think Jax can win this game. If they do, I doubt it's like a 14-10 type game, probably more like 31-24. I don't like Hester at all and I'm not buying that Aromashodu isn't on the field for MNF getting plenty of looks. Johnny Knox I do buy, Hester, not so much. Mason has a good matchup and I think the Ravens are going to confidently run the score up at home against a division rival, which could mean plenty of looks for Mason. Harvin is having more migrain issues I just heard, so that's not looking particularly promising (he might not play). Just my thoughts.

IMO
Harvin has looked very mediocre so far, even when they were force feeding him the ball in the first quarter vs Miami.

It's hard to say. Dallas' defensive rush is insane so they could lean on the running game more. Chicago doesn't have much of a running game so I think Cutler was forced to throw. Even still, with Dallas knowing he was throwing the whole game, and with an atrocious O-Line, and mediocre receivers..... Cutler put up almost 300.

Houston has a better threat at a run game, a better O-line, better QB, and better receivers so I'm not even sure Demarcus Ware can affect the passing game much.

brady
eli manning vs orton

who should i choose as my 2nd starting QB with brady?

must win for me or else i start panicfest 2010.

pick 2:

benson @ car
addai @ den
LT @ fins

pick 1:
boldin vs cle
demaryius vs ind

So apparently the word is Mathews will be a no go for SD this week so this comes up:

12 man PPR league

Pick 1:
Tolbert @ SEA
Portis @ STL

i think u should wait til sunday morning to make this decision. im still reading stuff that says he might play, although it could be norv bsing.

for ur flex id go tolbert if mathews is out. prob nicks if he isnt.

ehhh:

Forte vs. GB
Charles @ SF
dark horse: Tolbert @ SEA
