figures i cut britt last week cause he was bumming it up
god, my WR's are beat. steve smith (nyg) has been a major bust this year. had some yards and a TD today but hasnt done jack shit the rest of the year.Comment

Of course, the day I bench Ray Rice is the day where he decides to actually score a touchdown.
Doesn't matter, I'm still winning by 70.Comment

finally Kolb starts and he finds Celek. please dear god I never want to see Mike Vick in the line up again.Comment
-
The difference for this season between Vick and Kolb is that Kolb is more of a checkdown/possession receiver-type QB while Vick loved to bomb it downfield.
This lead to Maclin/Celek owners getting at least 20 points a game (until about 1-2 games ago when Maclin was finally held to without a TD catch after getting one in every game before that this season).
So yeah, I'm with you in the distinction that not wanting to see Vick on the field, if not in a starting QB role.

You'd think Hakeem Nicks would share receiving duties but that seems to be not the case.Comment

It's interesting to see others' FF philosophy.
I have 3 rules that I stand by:
1. Never bench your studs - I don't care if Chris Johnson or Ray Rice is going up against the 85 Bears. If I drafted them in the 1st round then I am going to start them every week no matter what. I'd much rather lose because my first round pick got shut down than watch them go off on my bench as the nobodies I started over them, Ryan Torain or BenJarvus Green-Ellis, lay eggs and lose me the game.
2. Never trade a stud/superstar for depth - Only way I am trading a stud is if I get a stud in return. A stud is someone who can blow up for 30 points on any given day and it's not just a 1 time a year thing. A stud is also generally an integral part of his team's offense, meaning he will get his touches no matter who they are playing.
3. Go with your gut - I have my "rules that I stand by" and I enjoy playing the match up game as much as anyone, but I've learned to go with my gut 99% of the time now rather than the "smart" play. Just like rule #1, I hate when I go with the "smart" play over the guy I knew that was going to have a good game just because some dumb ass projections told me Baltimore's D will be too tough for Kyle Orton and Matt Schaub is an every week starter.
With that said:
Kyle Orton Vs. NYJ
Or
Matt Schaub Vs. KC
Having 2 good quarterbacks can be as much of a pleasure as it is a pain. This same shit happened to me last season with Kurt Warner and Schaub and I started the wrong guy every fucking week until I traded one of them away because I couldn't handle it anymore.
I'm thinking I have to go with Orton after his 300 yard, 2 TD performance @ Baltimore. Schaub is one of those guys that can go for 40 but it is usually against sub-par teams. He usually shits the bed against good teams and after watching the Chiefs give Manning fits, I don't think I really have a choice.Comment

Mark Clayton done for the year, so who should I go after?
Danny Amendola - not a PPR league
Louis Murphy - No QB to throw him the ball consistently
Deion Branch - should have better value in NE, but who knows.
for week 6 I have 3 starters so it isn't an immediate need, but who should I pursue, chances are I may have to put in for all 3 but what order should I put them in?
Sidenote:
Jets Defense is killing me tonight, I had a huge lead going into tonight with Holmes still going, but going against Edwards and Jets D, this is going to be close.Comment

Orton's a Top 5 FF QB at this point while Schaub is middling at best.
Like you said, start Orton.

Branch is the best of three on potential alone.Comment
