    Do you think Titus Young will recover?

    And moes, what do you think about Brandon Myers, do you think he has better upside than Tamme?

    I hate Smith, never Smith. So probably Smith in reality. But man. I hate Smith. He could get 2 td's or he could be completely non-existent, even against NE. I think Brown will have a good game.

    I'm a gambling man. Go with Smith.

    I don't know if Titus Young is going to get it together, but he certainly has the ability to be a threat. My guess is he gets his head out of his ass within the next few weeks.

    Brandon Myers is not much of a receiving threat. I think Palmer has been finding him because he's just not in sync with the other receivers right now. A lot of his passes are just missing his speed guys coming out of their breaks. Once he develops more of a rhythm with Moore and Heyward-Bey I think Myers will continue to see only an occasional look.

    Someone dropped Titus in my league. Do you think he worthy to replace Donald Jones/BUF or Manningham on my bench as a high risk high reward player?

    I think he definitely has higher upside than either Jones or Manningham, but the early results haven't been very good.

    I was thinking he would be a good player this year, disappointed in him so far. He needs to grow up quickly.

    If you were to drop either Jones or Manningham to have Titus, who would you drop?

    Jones is the #2 WR in BUF but Fitz is his QB. Manningham is the #3/4 WR in SF but who know how long Moss can go this season.

    I'd flip a coin honestly.

    Dwayne Bowe @ NO
    or
    Marques Colston vs KC

    I'm leaning Bowe. They will be throwing all day, and he's their only viable target.

    ______


    Also, would you drop Aaron Hernandez for Danny Amendola?

    This is a league that gives bonus points for 100+ yard receiving games.

    I think honestly right now in a 20 team league I'd drop Jones for Young. The reward is high, and I doubt Jones will be useful in more than half the games he plays in.

    PPR? Amendola is a must-pickup in any league, but in a PPR he should not only be picked up, he is a must-start every week. I don't know about dropping Hernandez, but I'm sure there's at least one other player on your bench that has less value than he does.

    You should be starting BJGE. Washington's defense is even more atrocious now that they've lost Orakpo for the season.

    Now I have a QB dilemma of my own:

    Peyton against the Bulls on Parade or Flacco against the Patriots and their improved pass D?

    Ugh.

    Not PPR. Hernandez is my weakest link, as it's only an 8 team league.

    Not only is that a good matchup for Flacco and a terrible one for Peyton, but do you really want to spend Sunday rooting *for* Manning? Go with Joe.

    Yeah, I had already opted to go with Flacco anyway since he had the better matchup by the numbers, but it's so hard to bet against Peyton, and I'm utterly team-agnostic when it comes to choosing my fantasy players. It's quite convenient these days because the Texans D is so awesome so you generally sit players by default against them, but regardless I have no problem starting a stud against my home team if that's what's going to get me a W that week.

    Who's your backup TE?

    There is no required TE. It's 3 W/T spots. Colston is my 4th WR. Hernandez is my 5th.
