Sometimes you need help. This is the place.


I start things off. Fred Jackson vs nyj or frank gore vs Ind for the flex

Agreed, and there's a reason I've always started Peyton and (with the obvious exception of the bye) always will. Aaaand I'm now 6-0, woop!

Colston and FJax for McFadden and Hartline. I'm just glad I got Colston off my roster

Yeah, he hasn't been getting me shit, either. I've been thinking about dropping him for a while.

Either get a guy having a career year on the nfls best team so far or a guy played by injuries who ha yet to even play this year? Lol what? I mean you have to be doing ok at te right now there is some decent te depth out there. Moreno is gonna get the ball put in his hands at least 10-15 times a game while gronk will get targeted what 10 times or so and even then he has to catch it. Moreno gets more touches therefore has more chances to score points. That's how I would do it

Which would be bad if the majority of the remaining schedule had good defenses but they don't. And I already have Doug Martin, Gio Bernard, and Zac Stacy. You could do much worse than McFadden vs. the Eagles D as a flex option

Iv or Steven on the bench and I could see him returning this week and since they don't have many options on offense he will get a lot of work. I'm holding on to him

I think I'd do that. You'd get a major upgrade in RB as long as Knowshon stays healthy, and Clay is a top 10 TE so he's startable every week.

I have Jackson as well in one of my leagues but based on what I have been reading he hasn't returned to practice so this week seems unlikely. This leaves me with starting Ryan Matthews or Brandon Jacobs as my RB2 since Beast Mode (Lynch) is holding down my top spot. What do you guys think? I love Matthews potential but it seems like the chargers hate him and woodhead always can snake some touchdowns, and there is zero chance Jacobs has a repeat performance of last week.

Seriously I would though. Dude had over 1300 yards with Peyton throwing to him as a 3rd string slot. Now he's got Brady and he will not be the third option in that passing game

I literally have no idea what I'm doing with fantasy, I just got into it because my friends were doing it. I don't care how well I do as long as I am not last, because the person in last has to hook up with a fat chick. My current problem is that I am 1-5, tied for last, so if anyone is willing to give advice it would be much appreciated.

Here is my current roster:

Starters-
Matt Ryan
CJ Spiller
Knowshon Moreno
Reggie Wayne
Steve Smith
Jason Witten
Alfred Morris
Ravens D/ST
Alex Henrey

Bench-
Larry Fitzgerald
Gio Bernard
Brian Hartline
Terrance Williams
Alex Smith
Willis McGahee
L Hankerson

So far this year my main issue has been not really having a consistent running game, or wide receivers for that matter. Any ideas?

my defense is playing the seahawks and i got marshawn on my team. would it make sense to pick up a different defense?

That's what I do. It depends on how much faith you have in Zona getting turnovers and maybe Peterson running one back to make up for Marshawn hopefully scoring touchdowns

That's tough, Carolina's run D has been pretty good this year, but you know Stacy is going to get at least 10 - 15 touches. Buff's secondary is awful, but I can never feel confident in playing Dolphin's players because their production seems to be so random. I'd probably go with Stacy for the sure 6 - 12 points, but I think Hartline has more upside.

Can you flex one? A dude in my league is starting both of them, they both have really good match ups this week.

I'd play Gio over CJ and consider Hartline over Smith. Other than that your lineup looks solid.

Also, Hankerson is worthless. Drop him and add someone that is producing. Try to add Jeffery/Allen/Blackmon if they are available.

Well, damn. That's a good problem to have. Personally, I'd go with Cameron, the Browns are going to have to throw against the Pack. After their bye weeks you should trade one for an upgrade at another spot. No need to have 2 top 5 TEs if you can only play one.

Yeah the only reason I have both is out of a trade which was worth it i guess.

Depends on what you think you'll need. Woodhead is safer, hes a higher floor/lower ceiling guy...he'll get you 6-8 points for sure but not much more. If you think you're going to need a big flex week go Douglas, he could get you 13-16 but don't be surprised if he only gets you 3.

This trade was proposed to me today:

trade: Larry Fitzgerald and Darren McFadden

for: Dez Bryant and Stevan Ridley

Thoughts? Bryant's been a stalwart this season, but Ridley's shat the bed pretty consistently and I'd be fine with shipping him out.

I like that trade. Both the Cardinals and Raiders upcoming schedules benefit them while anyone who plays for the Pats is fantasy poison and Miles Austin is should be 100% this week so Dez's number could drop a little
