Stafford or Romo? God dammit.
Then I have
Pierre Thomas vs GB, Michael Bush vs Dal (I'm assuming Forte will be useless).

2) If you are assuming that Forte will be completely worthless, then Bush is the right play. However, the Bears not playing until Monday night makes the situation a little tricky. I think you almost have to assume that Forte will play in some capacity since he's questionable. My pick here is Pierre Thomas, though I don't feel very confident about it because of all the unknowns surrounding Forte. The reason I'm going with Thomas is that I think the Saints will realize that the only way they beat the Packers is if they run the ball often. The Saints defense is trash, and the Saints running game has been surprisingly good. I think they pound the rock this week to keep the Packers off the field.Comment

Official Week 4 Results:
1. Matthew Stafford 407 over Matt Shaub 318 - Correct
2. Rob Gronkowski 248 over Tony Gonzalez 127 - Correct
3. Ramses Barden 82 over Ben Tate 38 - Push
4. Matthew Stafford 407 over Tony Romo 82 - Correct
5. Pierre Thomas 36 over Ben Tate 38 - Push
I really hope that nobody played Tony Romo this week. What a debacle. Stafford over Shaub is technically a win using my unorthodox scoring system, however, Stafford and Shaub was probably more of a push in most fantasy leagues. Barden and Thomas were disappointments, but thankfully Ben Tate didn't do anything either. Overall a good week.Comment

In unconventional fashion for me, I'm going with a receiver here over a RB who gets a lot of carries. My pick is Wayne. Both of these games have the potential to turn in to shootouts. Wayne is getting a lot of looks from Luck, and I think that continues this week.
1) I still think that Gates has a good season. Last week Gates showed that he's close to 100% and I think he has a good week this week. Pita is a good option as well and may very well outscore Gates, but I'm going with the guy with the better history. My pick is Gates.
2) Good lord, how in the world did you end up with five top 20 running backs? Picking who will do the worst out of those five is like picking a needle in a haystack. Here is how I'd rank the five: 1) Forte, 2) McCoy, 3) MJD, 4) Richardson, and 5) Morris.
Forte is still a little banged up, but he looked good enough on Monday night. I think he tears through the Jags defense this week. McCoy and MJD don't have great matchups, but both are for sure starts every week. Richardson and Morris are about even, but I'd rank Richardson higher than Morris just because I can't bring myself to trust Shanahan. There is no reason to believe that Morris is the main guy in Washington, but Shanahan has pulled a switch at the last minute for unknown reasons before.
Not a bad problem to have. I'd start Lynch for sure. Charles and Richardson are two completely different backs. Charles has way more upside, but Richardson will put up the more consistent results. I would say it depends on where you are in your standings and what the rest of your team looks like. If your supporting cast is solid, then I'd go Richardson. If the rest of your team is mediocre, then go with Charles because you'll likely need the big points to win. As for my official pick, I'll go with Lynch and Charles.Comment

It's tough to sit the NFL leader in receiving yards, but I'd go with James Jones this week. I think Hartline and Jones are pretty equal receivers, but one has Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball his way and the other has Ryan Tannehill. Greg Jennings is out this week so Jones should get more looks. Jones burned me earlier this year when I picked him over Amendola when he went for 15 catches, but I don't think the same happens this week.Comment
