I snuck by in the first round of the playoffs, and really need help deciding which RBs and WRs to start this week. I need to fill 2xRBs, 1xRB/WR, and 2xWR:

RBs
Foster vs NO
Bradshaw vs Wsh
K. Smith vs Oak
Grant vs KC

WRs
Moss vs NYG
Nicks vs Wsh
Thomas vs NE
Gaffney vs NYG

Foster is a no-brainer, but I'm up in the air on everybody else. I'm in a PPR league. Any advice?

Is it safe to start Antonio Brown vs. SF? Should I make a choice based on whether or not Big Ben plays? My other choices are Floyd, Manningham, Maclin.

I picked up Demariyus Thomas, should I start him instead against NE?

Instead of Antonio Brown? You're crazy. Ben is going to start, and A. Brown is a monster. Honestly, I think he's taken over as the #1 WR for the Steelers mainly due to his speed/talent and the coverage of Wallace.

Yeah, I was definitely going to start him if Ben was going to start. Not so sure if Ben does not start.

What about Marshall or Harvin? If AP comes back, I think Harvin's upside is limited.

I have A.P. and I think that even if he plays Harvin is gold...A.P. is prolly only going to be 90% if at best. I would start him vs. Marshall.

Listening to sirus xm and the guys there are talking about Harvin as a gold mine...take for what's it worth...

Therefore it is about football. I think you and Hal would have a wonderful conversation with each other... in some other thread. Now if the thread doesn't interest you and you have nothing relevant to say here, go troll some other thread.

Wasnt my intention to stir up anything.
With fantasy football you can join a lot of different leagues. So on the other sites I have joined their leagues. When I saw the thread I thought it was Anands league. Only to find out its for American Football. I didnt diss the sport or made any bad remarks towards it. Its not our national pass time but I still do respect it and watch it as well if I manage to stay awake because its normally in the early hours of the morning. I apoligize if it looked like I was trying to take the piss out of it. That wasn't my intention.

 

[tontod]

what about starting Denariyus Thomas over Brandon Marshall?

 

[SunnyD]

what about starting Denariyus Thomas over Brandon Marshall?

Matt Moore starting against Buffalo, and you're asking whether or not Tebow & Thomas are good for another 4th Quarter Miracle?

Personally, as much as it pains me to say it, I would put my eggs in the 4 quarters basket with Marshall versus the 1 quarter that Tebow plays.

I know kickers are a crap shoot, but I don't think Robbie Gould would be getting many opportunities to kick the ball without the only two offensive weapons on Chicago. Help me pick a kicker for this week.

C. Barth vs DAL
G. Gano vs NYG
N. Novak vs BAL
M. Nugent vs STL


I need to pick two runningbacks this week. I'm thinking Benson and Jones, but Greene has been pretty hot.

S. Greene vs PHI
C. Benson vs STL
C. Spiller vs MIA
F. Jones vs TB

 

[ghost recon88]

Detroit DEF vs. Oakland
NE DEF vs. Denver

Actually leaning towards Detroit based on their performance last week.

 

[leeland]

I need a sanity check...

Grossman or Rivers?

I just picked up Grossman due to lighter schedule...I have always rolled with Rivers but they are against the Raven's D.

 

[goobernoodles]

Still can't decide between A Hurt Ben @ SF or a hurt Vick vs NYJ.

risky to play Ben...I would take what you can get from Vick

 

[leeland]

Glad I sat Seattle's D...

 

[goobernoodles]

Glad I sat Seattle's D...

Lucky you.

 

[saratoga172]

Sat Reggie and started Michael Bush and Turner. Also chose Big Ben over Vick. Looks like two HUGE wiffs for me.

Edit: Picked up Charlie Batch. LOL

 

[leeland]

Lucky you.

In hind sight it didn't matter...guy had a monster week, cal johnson, matty ice, hernandez...he had high points this week. My 4 year reign is over as champ

 

[edro]

edro, we meet again...

Ah ah ah.
Don't count Imported out yet.
Vernon Davis could blow up tonight.
He needs ~30 points... which is impossible.

Calvin Johnson's second TD saved my ass.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Flaccos trash time td may have screwed me. Down 4 going into tonight's game. I have steelers d and he has mendenhall. Damn you trash time fantasy points!

 

[tontod]

Damn it, Harvin screwed me over. I am down ~20, he has the Steelers D, I just have Antonio Brown going for me.
