    I really like Kenny Stills. Could get a long TD from Tannehill and the Jet's passing defense is weaker than their run defense. Though I am starting Jay Ajayi due to Ware concussion.

    What are the chances I still lose? Current score is 123.84 to 111.96 and he has Hauschka for SEA and I have the SEA defense (against BUF). I was actually thinking I was going to lose against the league's high scoring team again... he had Witten with a TD and first 100 game since 2013, ARob, who has disappointed all season, and Wallace, with a 95 yard catch and run for a TD. Plus Gore and Hightower having big games. But he had Carr last night, and his 7.66 points saved my night and season.

    Would you trade Landry for Nuk?

    Seems the Fins are now the Jay Ajayi show, and he's WR4 in my lineup.

    Brock has got to play better eventually, right?Maybe?

    Ty Montgomery is about to get RB designation on Yahoo! WOOOOOOOOHHOOOOO! My RBs suck right now

    @NewRoxFan Cairo Santos is who I'm using right now. Find someone on a high octane offense.

    Thanks The Stig. I was looking at Santos. Also Lambo with San Diego and McManus with DEN.

    Do you know why Santos has been dropped so much this week on Yahoo? It wasn't because of Bye, since his was week 5.

    Not sure. People are probably fearing Carolina's defense right now. He's been consistent outside of one dud this year so I'm sticking with him.

    I was thinking about picking up Catanzaro or Lambo but I dunno. Seems unnecessary to me.

    Thanks. Perhaps also concern about the loss of Maclin and uncertainty about Ware. I also looked at Catanzaro but seems to me he had some misses recently. So looked again at Lambo, then landed on McManus (saw sats saying he had 9+ FP/g and NO has given up points to kickers. And you are right, its just a kicker, but Vinatieri has been a leading scorer for me at least one week. :)

    Loading up on RB right now.... Devontae Booker v. NO , Mark Ingram v. DEN, Giovani Bernard v. NYG, Doug Martin (he trains well Wednesday, might be starting) v. Chi , Ty Montgomery v. Ten

    pick 2 ...

    Lots of interesting choices. If Booker's shoulder is good, he would be an obvious choice versus NO. Smith could be a good choice versus CLE on a prime time show if you are OK with playing people on generally sloppy Thursday Night games. But gee... Blount always seems good for a goal line score. Probably suggest Booker and Smith.

    Booker if healthy. After that it gets tougher as each player goes against tough defenses (except Martin, should he go, which is iffy). I'd lean towards Montgomery, kinda cool to see both pass and run opportunities.

    Sorry, urgent start/sit question: Terrelle Pryor (tonight) versus BAL, or Doug Baldwin Sunday night versus NE?

    Pryor, it is Cleveland's go to guy, they are always playing from behind (throwing/garbage yards), and BAL defense is pretty terrible against the pass.

    One worry, Corey Coleman is back and that could take away.. But NE's best defender will be on Baldwin and Russel Wilson hasn't been himself. And when he has, it has been to Graham.

    So my vote would be Pryor.

    Sorry guys, RB fill: Montgomery v. TEN. Ingram v. DEN, Christine Michael v.NE, and James White v. SEA Pick 2, also it could be a 3rd in the flex spot, but I have Sanders in there right now vs NO and I'm hoping denver can get him the ball.

    Also, Jon Stewart v. KC or Devonta Freeman v. PHI? Im just a little worried with Tevin Coleman coming back.

    I would go with Ravens D, because it's the Browns. You never know when Big Ben and AB are going to go off so I wouldnt bet against Pit Offense.

    I think Packers D is pretty good, and Tennessee are pretty turnover prone. So for me it would be Ravens or Packers. I would see who they play next game too and see if you can get whichever has a better long term play ability.
