Drop Jermichael Finley or Jared Cook

Add Dustin Keller or Fleener

Or stick with Jermichael and Cook, if that's the case. Who do I start?

I'd stick with Jermichael and Cook. Keller has nobody to throw him the ball and I still think that Finley and Cook have more upside than Fleener. I keep waiting for Finley to have a break out 2 TD game, but my pick this week is Cook. I think he's the safest and most reliable.

Danny Woodhead vs Jets

or

Jerome Simpson vs Cardinals

I'd go with Woodhead because he's going to get you more touches. Simpson hasn't done much of anything yet, so I'd be hesitant to start him in any league format. The Patriots could go up big in this one and will turn to running the ball and dump off passes.

larod stephen howlings (ARI) @ MIN
or
Montario Hardesty (CLE) @ IND
?

This is a tricky one. With Trent Richardson banged up, one good shot to his ribs and he could be out leaving Hardesty with the workload. However, since it's tough to predict injuries, my pick here is going to be Howlings. I think he gets 8-12 touches at RB and hopefully they will smarten up and get him more involved in the passing game.

Srs. Freeman or Brees?

Our coaching staff has made a concerted effort coming off the bye week to open the playbook up and allow Josh let the ball fly. It paid dividends last week, granted it was the Chiefs but their pass D was ranked 9th IIRC giving up 204 per game going into week 6. On the flipside its fucking Brees but the homer in me thinks our D will give him fits. Outside of 3 quarters or so we have been lights out not to mention this being our throwback game which led to the first sellout of the season :lol:

Dude, you're crazy. If Brees was in a wheelchair I'd still start him over bum ass Freeman. Under no circumstances do you ever bench Brees, Brady, or Rodgers, especially not for a bottom 10 QB. Last week I got a question about benching Rodgers against a tough Texan's defense and we all saw how that ended up. Tampa's passing defense is one of the worst in the league and Brees is going to have a field day.

I guess the numbers are what they are but those numbers are heavily skewed by two halfs, 2nd one vs Eli and 1st one vs Washington, we shall see though. I think Freeman will go toe to toe with Brees.

 

[kmanharris]

Flex spot. Romo is my QB.

Miles Austin vs Carolina, Felix Jones vs Carolina, or Mike Williams vs NO, Fred Jackson vs Tennessee, Andre Johnson vs Baltimore.

Choose 2.

Currently I have Williams and Johnson in the in the flex.

I would go with Felix Jones and Andre Johnson. Out of those five, Mike Williams would be at the bottom of my list. I'd rank 1) Andre Johnson, 2) Felix Jones, 3) Fred Jackson, 4) Miles Austin, 5) Mike Williams.

When you have guys like Brees, Brady, and Rodgers, you don't even need to look at the opposing defense. These three especially have the opportunity to win a week on their own pretty much. Freeman has thrown for 3 or more touchdowns maybe 3 or 4 times in his entire career. Brees does it almost every week (four out of five weeks this year).

I hate being in this 6 team league. The teams are TOO deep and the chance for making a mistake is HUGE.

 

[Ravin]

TE spot

Finley, Fleener or Pitta

 

[Price]

Should I swap my Colts DEF for the Ravins DEF?

Should I swap my Colts DEF for the Ravins DEF?

I'd stick with the Colts this week. Ravens have too many question marks with several injuries and are going up against a very good Houston offense.

TE spot

Finley, Fleener or Pitta

Finley has already burned me a few times this year, but I just can't ignore his talent. I see all three of these TEs having okay weeks, but if it was my team I'd start Finley.

 

[BigBucs]

Brees with the pick on his 1st drive :smugruss: / :rage:

 

[BigBucs]

Josh with a TD on his very 1st pass :smugruss: /

 

[BigBucs]

Brees 313 4 TDs..........in the 1st half :fap: / :rage:

 

[mcstl25]

Josh with a TD on his very 1st pass :smugruss: /

I notice that you haven't posted in a while. Could that be because Brees has raped the Bucs defense for 300 yards and 4 TDs IN THE FIRST HALF? :thumbsup:

[BigBucs]

Josh hasnt backed down. He sitting with 29 and Brees with 32. If we manage to get the ball back he may surpass him but its looking grim ATM.

 

[BigBucs]

Josh got the ball back :kobe:

 

[BigBucs]

Josh 33 points Brees 32, eat it muthafucker (^^^)(^^^)

 

[Fappin Raptor]

Kendall Wright v. IND
or
Jeremy Kerley v. MIA

 

[St. Francisco]

Wide Receiver: Darrius Heyward-Bey @ Kansas City, or Sidney Rice @ Detroit? PPR league.

 

[killgod]

Steven Jackson @ NE
Doug Martin @ MIN
Rashad Jennings vs GB
DeSean Jackson vs ATL
Andre Roberts vs SF


I got 2RB/3WR/1Flex to put together.

Jammal Charles is one RB, that's a lock.
Julio Jones/Vincent Jackson/Marques Colston are locked into the 3 WR spots.


Need to choose out of those 5, who to play at RB2 and the flex. Non PPR.

I'm torn to fuck here. Feel like it's a crapshoot.
