    OK, here's my too much depth problem again for Week 9.

    I'm set with:

    WR1 - Jennings DAL
    RB1 - McFadden KC

    Need help with:

    RB2 - Law Firm @CLE or T. Jones @OAK
    Flex 1 - ???
    Flex 2 - ???

    I can only pick one RB for my flex positions, so it's down to the following peeps:

    LeGarrette Blount @ATL
    Mike Wallace @CIN (Jonathan Joseph is supposed to be back; tough matchup)
    Pierre Garcon @PHI (Eagles secondary is terrible, but Hobbs was benched)
    Steve Johnson CHI (Bears DEF will probably kill Fitzpatrick; will Johnson continue his TD reception streak?)
    Or take whoever isn't RB2 for one of the flexes?

    Crayton or Ivory are my picks. Gates is probably out so more passes going to other people on the team.

    I like both Ivory and Crayton this week. I think we will see an improved Houston pass defense, but that's not saying much and Crayton becomes the #1 receiver with both Gates and Floyd out. Ivory has an awesome matchup against Carolina. I'd consider starting both if I could.

    Jones for RB2. Law Firm and Garcon for flex. I think Wallace has more upside than Garcon here but if you want to be safe Garcon should get more targets and he's got Peyton Manning.

    Appears Zach Miller is out this weekend so I'll be needing a replacement. I also need to make room for said replacement, which is my actual problem. The easy choice is to drop a RB since I'm basically hoarding them and have no use for them, but I hate dropping players that I know will just end up being picked up by other owners. My other choice is to drop a WR. So who should I drop to pick up a TE?

    Blount
    Lee Evans
    S. Holmes

    And if I keep both WRs who should I start?

    Drop holmes or evans and pick up donald lee. Not sure which other TE might be available in your league. DO NOT DROP BLOUNT.

    Appreciate it.

    And I really like Forte this week and think he might have the bigger day, but Rice is the safer choice. If you need a homerun type game, go with Forte. On the downside, just as he may get you 30 points he may also have a 5 point clunker.

    Pulled off two trades this week.

    Gave up Santana Moss and Brandon Pettigrew for Randy Moss

    Also traded away Peyton Hillis and Chad OchoStinko for DeSean Jackson

    Team I'll roll out with for the remainder of the season:
    Ryan Fitzpatrick (lost Tony Romo)
    Jamaal Charles RB 1
    Ray Rice RB 2
    Reggie Wayne WR 1
    DeSean Jackson WR 2
    Randy Moss WR 3
    Todd Heap TE
    Jets D/ST
    Adam Vinateri K

    Bench Players:
    Donald Brown
    Willis McGahee
    Danny Woodhead
    Brent Celek
    Antonio Armstrong
    49ers D/ST

    Any thoughts? Taking a chance on Jackson and especially on Moss but I needed to shake up my team.

    Thomas Jones vs OAK or Matt Forte vs Buffalo

    Need a second back...I keep going back and forth. Jones gets more carries, but Forte playing against a crappy team.

    I hope you picked Jones.

    And if anyone took by previous advice to start Forte, I apologize. :eek: If it makes you feel any better I started him to and I'm getting screwed.

    I can't believe I had 3 TEs that were out this week. What are the odds?

    Me too, but I have to wait and hope Medenhall doesn't go off for 28 points. :(

    Glad I started Seyi saved me this week I got a combined 9 points from my other two WRs

    Should have started Dez instead of Garçon but I should still win this week pretty comfortably

    Benched Brandon Jackson for BJGE, which was the logical choice, otherwise I'd be close to 200 points. Either way I had quite a week with 169 points in a PPR league.
