    Defenses aren't petty when the 49ers have scored over 40 fantasy points in the last 2 weeks combined and the bears have 4 pick sixs in the last 2 games.

    I'd stick with ARZ. If you want to drop someone else and gamble one week, I'd gamble with MIA vs STL.

    Rotoworld says he doesn't play on third downs. Looks like his pass blocking is sub-par. Doesn't GB pass pretty much all the time? So when would he play?

    Who are your other WRs? If you got a real deep WR pool and really need RBs, it wouldn't be terrible. I think you're going to get better results from Welker, but do what your team needs.

    Maybe try and counter for either a slightly better RB or your next WR (if they're comparable).

    I got a problem. My WR are Marshall, Jennings, Britt, Torrey. Marshall is on a bye, and I'll be starting Torrey.

    Britt plays Thus, Jennings not till Sunday night (as we all know). However, Jennings is hurt. If I don't play Britt and Jennings ends up missing the game, I wont have a WR. In this league, to pick up a player in the FA after week 4, it's an additional $5, so I really dont want to pick up anyone else (or drop anyone, for that matter).

    Anyone hear and news on Jennings status for Sunday? If he's not officially out come Thurs, do I keep him in?

    I'm currently 2-3 and feel like I need to upgrade my team quick. 12 team league... Any ideas on what I should do to upgrade?

    QBs: Rodgers, Tebow
    RB: Michael Turner, MOJO, Brandon Bolden, Waiver claim for Powell
    WR: Andre Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Stevie Johnson
    TE: Scott Chandler, Jason Witten (Traded Blackmon, Branch and J. Cook for Chandler)
    D: Giants, Titans (Dropping Titans for Rams)



    Another player in the league wants an RB, heres his team:
    QB: P. Manning, Stafford
    RB: Green-Ellis, Sproles, Forte, Draughn, J. Bell
    WR: Welker, R. Wayne, James Jones, Kerley, Burleson, C. Shorts
    TE: V. Davis, Tamme
    D: Arizona

    I'm trying to get Welker off of him for Bolden and D. Jackson/Andre Johnson.

    Any ideas or help?

    Is Green Bay Defense worth holding onto the entire season or am I better off playing matchups every week?

    Is it PPR? List the positions that start, like number of WRs and who can be a flex and what not.
    1) Drop Tebow and pick up another backup QB.
    2) Your trade looks good in a PPR league.

    Thanks for your response!

    I was thinking of just picking up a QB when it's Rodgers by week.. Hoping this Tebow thing can eventually turn into a trade.

    Starting is: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, Flex, D, Kicker

    Points: We're playing the Yahoo Default I believe.
    Passing: 1 point = 25 yards, 4 points = TD
    Rushing: 1 point = 10 yards, 6 points = TD
    Reception: 1 point = 10 yards, 6 points = TD

    Sweet, thanks Kate.

    So it looks like I will have a couple spots to play with since my last trade proposal went thru, ppr:

    Received: Shady McCoy

    Surrendered: AP, Torrey Smith, & BJGE

    Fair? I currently have Julio and Antonio Brown and my wideout spots but will now have to choose from: Kenny Britt, Denarius Moore, Donald Brown, Davone Bess, and possibly Alex Green to play my flex spot.

    Suggestions....

    Thursday night football has been nothing but disappointing football wise, and an annoying obstacle for fantasy. McCarthy ruled out Jennings on Thursday last week so if you're lucky you'll know Jennings' status before Britt plays. If not, I'd risk Jennings getting a zero over Britt's 3/27 average.

    Jennings is also facing the Texans who have given up the fewest fantasy points to Wide Receivers. I'd roll with Britt over Jennings.

    Dalton. Though I think their stats end as a push.

    Flacco vs. DAL
    Romo @ BAL
    Freeman vs. KC

    I'm leaning Freeman simply due to matchups, but it'd be hard to choose against Flacco. What do you think?

    I'd go Flacco. Every one of those guys can throw up a stinker any given week, but Flacco has the best team, unlikely to have back to back terrible games, and has a decent matchup.

    Keep in mind it was KC that shut down the Ravens passing attack last week.

    I think you have to go with Green over Starks.

    Starks was a healthy scratch in week 5 and Green look good.

    Green has been a sleeper for awhile now.

    Starks may more exp with the offense but Green looks more talented.

    Are any of my starters worth benching:
    Decker @SD
    Welker@Sea
    Cruz @SF (this matchup kind of worries me)

    For:
    Burleson @Phi
    Moore@Atl

    I agree with this Big Mak.

    Thursday night games has been terrible for fantasy players. And his first game back from injury against PIT, I just wouldn't trust it.

    I'd wait it out with Jennings and check his practices this week.

    And have another option... what are your other WR options?
