    So who would you start this week at RB, Adrian Peterson versus the stellar 49ers defense or Ben Tate, who won't likely get a lot of carries but has a knack for the end zone?

    Tough call, in fantasy football the adage is "always start your studs". But the Niners front 7 is far more studly.

    Still, have to think Peterson is a safer bet to rack up at least some decent yardage while Tate could give you a whole lot of nothing.

    Non PPR league, pick one for WR3: Sidney Rice (SEA vs GB), Andrew Hawkins (CIN @WAS) or Dexter McCluster (KC @NO)

    Same league, RB2...Jacquizz Rodgers (ATL @SD) or Dexter McCluster (KC @NO) or Mikel Lashoure (DET @TEN) McCluster has WR and RB eligibility

    I'd go Rice and McCluster because of the matchups. But I'd be tempted to start Hawkins too. Maybe over Rice.

    yea Im trying to squeeze McCluester into the lineup, NO defense has been bad this year. Might just go with Hawkins at WR3 since GB defense has been good

    Y'all think Wilson has any chance at 18+ carries tonight? They didn't spend a high pick on that guy for nothing + he can play. Is Brown that good or is Coughlin that much of a hardass?

    Brown isnt that good but Wilson needs to prove he can keep the rock off the ground

    Pierre Thomas. Thursday night games tend to be bad statistical games. Williams will probably have about 50yds at most. Pierre's upside is about 100yds against KC.

    Pettigrew. TEN D has given up more TDs to TE this year than any other team (5). He will get about 8-12 targets which should get you about 6 catches and close to 70-80 yds and and a 60% chance of a TD. My second choice would be Cobb but this week Jennings will steal a lot of targets that Cobb got last week.

    Only if Brown gets injured. Also look for NY to pass a lot. CAR LBs are stout and like to stop the run. But Wilson could get around 4 catches out of the backfield possibly and maybe around 6-8 carries for about 20-30 yds

    I've learned to ignore the talking heads at BSPN. Plus just because they favor the Panthers doesn't mean it won't be a high scoring affair (then again not saying it will).

    But if I were you I'd play Cruz (straight stud) and unless you've got a Brady, Rodgers, or Brees on tap to replace Eli, I'd play him as well.

    F*** ESPN bro.

    A team losing can be good for fantasy stats. A good offensive team losing is almost always good for fantasy passing stats.

    Agreed. I'm baffled 1 fumble equals the doghouse. They all fumble man.

    Wasn't it like his 2nd carry, and they were in FG range already? Yeah, that is a quick way to land there.

    Got to hold onto the rock, or you end up like Rashan Salaam.

    I'm playing Cruz tonight for sure, who else is Eli gonna throw to?
