    I have an Optional Player field were I usually start my QB, I have Matt Ryan as my starter and Mark Sanchez usually as my OP.

    The past couple weeks Sanchez has had horrible games, this last was in part of his recievers dropping and not muscling up for passes. So my question is:

    Sanchez @ Detroit
    Lance Moore @ Carolina

    I have to ask cause everytime I think about benching someone on a cold street, they end up exploding for a huge game. Carolina's pass defense has been decent this year while Detorit's run D has been less than stellar.

    Man, my decision to pick up Tamme and play him instead of Keller or Tony Gonzales really paid off! I'm thinking I'll keep him since Peyton loves throwing to the TE and Keller has really dropped off as of late.

    So Sproles and Mike Tolbert are both available in my league right now. Which one do you think will torch the Texans more on Sunday?

    They play the Eagles this week and for whatever reason, the Eagles have trouble covering TEs.

    Good choice given the information that came out later with Clark and Collie. I picked him up on waivers as well and started him after that news.

    Are you in a PPR league with Tolbert & Sproles?

    He's a good play going forward, too. I also snatched the Giants D off their bye. They have great matchups 5 out of the next 6 weeks.

    Forgive my ignorance, but what does PPR stand for? I'm just in a Yahoo league with a bunch of guys from work. No $$ involved.

    Tolbert is available because I dropped him last week due to a lack of carries. Didn't realize all his carries would be for TD's. :)

    PPR = Points Per Reception

    Sounds like a standard league to me.

    i picked up seyi arijotutu i had an extra roster spot anyone think he is worth a flex start just for this week? SD's WR corp is decimated with injuries and he is slated to get the start against the Texans

    my potential flex starts are:

    Ochocinco @ Pit
    Dez Bryant @ GB
    Shonn Greene @ Det



    I am not enamored with any of those matchups right now Bryant has been productive the last two weeks and hopefully Kitna builds good chemistry with him but I dont know if I can say he is a reasonable start right now.


    I rather not start any offensive player against the Pitt defense especially if its a division rival team.


    and Greene in detroit could be a surprise but LT is getting a majority of those carries.

    I would go with Bryant then Ochocinco. The PIT D is awesome but the on place they have problems in is there secondary so the passing game might be open for the Bengals so take that into consideration. Every game teams have to try and throw against them because their run D is crazy good.

    thats true but Palmer just keeps throwing to Owens...Ochocinco has been a total bust for me this year


    I was most likely going to start Bryant but figured picking up Seyi on an open Roster spot was a reasonable risk i can always drop him anyway but he is a big receiver going against Kareem Jackson I just dont know if he'll be the #2 receiver behind Crayton or if Goodman will be.

    I don't think you can go with Greene. Back to back weeks with <10 carries is not a good sign.

    Reggie Wayne is a must start every week.

    I'd go with Colston and Smith (NYG) as the other two.

    Giants.



    Law Firm.

    Can't go wrong with either, but Law Firm is the safer choice.

    Stafford by a mile.


    Tolbert, he is a goal-line vulture.


    Tossup between 85 and Dez. Both tough matchups.

    Wayne, Smith NYG, Colston.

    PLEASE LIST MATCH UPS FOR YOUR PLAYERS!!!!!!

    I have been offered the following:

    Any of the three: M. Bush, R. Bush, C. Cooley, B. Tate


    FOR D. Keller.



    Should I accept something?

    You have the matchups mixed up. Lions play the Jets, Bills play the Bears.

    It's much more of a tossup than you'd think. Stafford clearly has more upside, but the Jets D is healthy and they frustrated Aaron Rodgers last week. Fitzpatrick also has a tough matchup, but it's not as bad as the Bears and the good thing about Fitz is that he doesn't make mistakes and won't cost you with turnovers. I'd play Fitzpatrick if I wanted to be safe, but if you're swinging for the fences, you go with Stafford.

    Between bye weeks and injuries this week I am in need of a WR/RB/TE flex pickup in a PPR league (S.Moss,R.Moss,Addai,Floyd all out and looks like Beanie Wells is a risky play). It's slim-pickens right now, and I'm sadly tempted to go with a Charger against the Texans d, but who should I pick up to, if any, to start over Wells?

    D.Sproles vs Hou (no ret. yards pts)
    P.Crayton vs Hou
    C.Ivory vs Car
    J.Jones vs SD

    Any other deep sleepers this week? I'm leaning Sproles right now thinking he'll catch some passes out of the backfield.
