    I ended up playing 3 Skins players without realizing it yesterday in my money league. Djax, Reed and Fat Rob. Worked out pretty well.

    Looks like AJG's MRI showed a small tear, they are now saying he'll be out "a few weeks".

    If he ends up back for Week 14 I will consider that a small miracle.

    Cincy won't be making the playoffs. I really don't think they'll have AJ play then even so with nothing to play for imo. Atleast he did avoid a complete tear

    Playing the other number one in my league right now.

    One man left for both teams I am up 4 points.

    I have Crabtree
    He has Cooper.

    I don't like my chances based off recent Raider target trends.

    He has an incentive for a 1,000 yards receiving in his contract. *Hopeful and desperate Green owner. :cries

    Wow Luck out on concussion protocol knocks out both starting WRs from this past weekend (Hilton and Moncrief). Lucky I can switch to Julio Jones and Doug Baldwin.

    How do you guys think the AJ Green injury impacts Eifert? Does he see more targets? More double-teams?

    Trade deadline is tomorrow morning and I'm still on the fence on pulling off the Eifert for B Marshall trade.

    Eifert should get a good bump in targets and catches. But BAL is tough against TEs (heck, tough defense overall). I know Marshall is a very talented WR but not really a big fan of Marshall because of the QB problem with the Jets.

    I play in a 10 man PPR league. I need help with the bold parts below

    Here are my starters:

    QB - Aaron Rodgers (I am set here)
    RB 1 - Doug Martin
    RB 2 - Theo Riddick
    WR 1 - Antonio Brown (I am set here)
    WR 2 - Dez Bryant (I am set here)
    TE - Jimmy Graham (I am set here)
    Flex - Michael Thomas
    D/ST - Cardinals or Bills - I am leaning towards Bills this week since the Cardinals play the Falcons
    K - Justin Tucker (I am set here)

    Bench:
    Latavius Murray
    Stefon Diggs

    It looks like Stefon Diggs can't play tomorrow so I am currently starting Michael Thomas.

    I can't decide if I should start Doug Martin and Murray at RBs and put Theo in the flex? Or if I should do Doug and Theo and put Thomas in the flex.

    Murray is playing the Panthers this week so am I correct in ranking my RBs like this: Martin, Riddick, Murray? ESPN is projecting 14, 16, and 10 respectively for them and 13 for Michael Thomas.

    Thielen will have a decent game but still limited by QB and Patterson may be the better play here. Sterling Shepard has been pretty hot the last few games and after a lull mid season should be a good play ROS. So I'd start Shepard off that list.

    Boldin had his 5th TD. Marvin Jones only has 4, and Golden Tate has 2, and Ebron only 1. Yet Boldin has been on our waivers for weeks, and people chase after other WRs.

    I had drop my stash (Dion Lewis) for a backup TE (CJ Fiedorowicz) in case Reed is out. But to be honest, at this late stage, I am not all that certain getting a future like Lewis or even Watkins will add that much. My RBs are Gordon Miller, Ware and Rawls, so unlikely Lewis would be played. My WRs are Julio, TY, Baldwin, Fitzgerald and Moncrief, so unlikely Watkins would be played.
