    Yeah, I edited them in after I realized I left them out.

    I know it sounds crazy, but I don't know if I like R.Moss against the Texans over Welker against Detroit. Maybe you guys can talk me into it. He put up a 0 against the very forgiving Redskins secondary, and they've got the UFA rookie starting now. When Nate freaking Washington is lighting it up and you aren't, something isn't right.

    thats why i was thinking morris myself its a .5 PPR league so with best being hobbled with turf toe and smith out now on the IR was hoping morris would see more catches that way even if he doesnt get like 60+ years on the ground

    I have Best in 2 of my leagues and I picked up Morris just in case this week. All signs are pointing to Best being out in the short week. I might roll with Morris this week instead of Chris Ivory cause Bush might finally be back.

    Who knows but I need a win. Should have traded him when he was hot.

    Mario Manningham, Steve Johnson, and Nate Washington ( :eek: )

    Manningham seems to be the #1 this week. Johnson went bananas Sunday and has been solid all season but is facing Pitt and Nate...well you know

    I can pick 2 out of 3..any suggestions? Thx in advance!

    Manningham and Washington.

    Someone is going to rack up some yards against the Texans, even with a rookie QB, and I'm betting it won't be Moss.

    Welker is the safe bet but everybody torches the Texans secondary. Moss has a 3rd string unknown qb throwing but he has also had some penalties against him called back on huge plays. I can't imagine him going 1 catch and then 0 and having a 3rd stinker in a row. Not with what's on the line for the Titans and Houston having to be forced to stop C.Johnson. It's the perfect opportunity to try and get Moss the ball against the pourous secondary. I'm benching R.Williams and N. Burleson in favor of Randy Moss myself.

    I have Steve Johnson, Vjackson, Sidney Rice, Randy Moss, N. Burleson and R. Williams. I'm starting the first 4.

    Is it time to drop PT Cruiser or what? I don't really NEED him...have Hillis, Charles, and Benson also.

    Waiver wire opens up in a few hours in my standard Y! league. This would just open up a roster spot for me...already have claims on Keiland Williams, Donald Brown and this week's super-sleeper, Mike Goodson.

    (the guy I'm chasing for 4th seed REALLY needs RB help so I'm stashing every RB I can get...dropping Keller, Crabtree and a DEF unit to do it)

    M Manningham vs Jax
    H Ward vs Buf
    A Johnson vs Ten
    J Maclin vs Chi
    D Bowe vs Sea


    Pick 3

    Basic NFL.com league, yards only, not receptions. My gut tells me Bowe is no brainer. AJ and JM have me hesitant due to the defenses the other 2 guys are facing....

    Dude, you play Bowe/Maclin/AJ and don't even think twice about it.

    Manningham has upside, but not even close to enough to knock one of those guys out...screw the matchups. Ward has been absolute garbage for 4 games now...pretty much have to bench him.

    I just dropped Ward for James Jones...Amendola could be an intriguing guy if Bradford could just hit him in the end zone.

    Just sick of Hines rotting on my bench, the guy has had TWO good games this year.

    Still looking for advice on Pierre Thomas. Hard to keep a guy I'm 90% sure I won't ever have to start with Hillis/Charles/Benson in front...plus Bush is back in NO and Ivory has looked pretty good.

    I am so pissed. I feel like team is way better than my record indicates, but whoever my opponent is seems to lead the league in points whenever they play me. I am 2nd in the league in total points (I have over 500 more points than the next guy ahead of me in the standings), yet my team sits at 5-6.

    I really like Rice against Washington, he would have had an even better game this past week against the Packers if Favre wouldn't have overthrown him when he was wide open downfield.

    Everyone else that I picked has good matchups and should put up respectable numbers.

    So I'm in a small (6-team league) and I'm having trouble making decisions. Help me out?

    Should I:

    Drop Dez Bryant and/or Santonio Holmes for Mario Manningham and/or Sidney Rice?

    Start'em or Sit'em:

    I need 3 WRs, 2 RB, and a QB/WR/RB flex out these choices:

    WR- Mike Wallace
    WR - Dez Bryant
    WR - Santonio Holmes
    WR - Vincent Jackson
    WR - Percy Harvin
    WR - Steve Johnson
    RB - Peyton Hillis
    RB - Maurice Jones-Drew
    RB - Ray Rice
    RB - Rashard Mendenhall
    QB - Eli Manning
    QB - Matt Ryan

    This is my lineup as of right now:
    QB - Drew Brees
    WR - Mike Wallace
    WR - Dez Bryant
    WR - Santonio Holmes
    RB - Peyton Hillis
    RB - Rashard Mendenhall
    TE - Jacob Tame
    QB/WR/RB flex - Matt Ryan

    Suggestions on who to start, sit?

    I'm high on Mario Manningham, but I'm also high on Dez Bryant and Santonio Holmes looks good. Generally in these cases I prefer to stand pat unless there is a clear upgrade to be made.

    Guys, always include matchups for reference.

    QB flex? Of course you always start the best QB in that situation. I don't like benching the ever productive Percy Harvin here against a horrible Redskins secondary. I'm OK with the RB selections.

    Just when you think Hines is no good he's going to bust out with one of those 8/110/2 td games. I don't even have Ward so it's not wishful thinking but a gut feeling. Who better than Buffalo to do it against.

    If you rolled with him so far this year you better stick it out cause you know when you bench him he's going to have that huge THIRD good game I'm talking about.

    If I have the next 3 weeks off pretty much (since I have top spot wrapped up and not really worried at all about things until Week 15 playoffs),
    does anyone think I should pickup Nicks off waiver wire for December playoff push / WR depth?

    My squad right now has these(4) receivers-> Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings, Sidney Rice + Mike Williams (TB).

    We can start 8 players out of 13 folks on roster ->must start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D

    ALSO->I have Big Ben + Matt Ryan @ QB / Turner + McCoy + Blount @ RB / Gates + Hernandez @ TE / + (1) K + 1 (D).

    So Nicks is tempting since I can afford not to worry about him being out for 3 weeks, but not sure it wise considering my squad as is now

    Yeah think I'll just leave it alone. Hoping to get Heap off the waiver wire for Winslow. Tired of having minimal points from my TE. Heck, my K and Defense have outscored the two TEs on the roster combined!!(other is Owen Daniels who hasn't really gotten healthy)
