    would pick Antonio Brown and I think its a toss up between Jacoby and Kevin Walter, some games jones gets more balls, but some time walter gets more, depending. I would pick Walter for this one, just a huntch, its random.

    for WR2 spot:

    reggie wayne
    eric decker
    deion branch
    julio jones

    also for flex should I pick addai or any of the players in the above list (counting the one you selected for wr#2)

    I have mike wallace, so he is clearly my WR#1.

    I'd play Decker, they are for sure playing from behind today. I like Wayne with Painter at QB, but he's not like Collins where all he looks for are the 1 & 2 options so that may take away a few options. Considering possibly playing Collie for that reason. Branch is too inconsistent and I have a feeling the Falcs will try to finally get their running game started with the Seahawks on tap.

    But I'd go Decker and Wayne for flex and #2.

    I know this is kinda late, but keep an eye on Lavelle Hawkins in Tennessee. The guy has made some pretty beastly catches this season and it wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a number 2 or even a number 1 wr in tennessee.

    Obviously also, Jared Cook is going to look real good this week.

    Britt was obviously the star of the offense, but there are other guys on the team. Tennessee has some offensive depth.

    It's going to be interesting to see who steps up out of Hawkins, Williams, and Avery.

    I am torn on who to play.

    I picked up Randy McMichael this week because I am deathly afraid of Fred Davis putting up another goose egg. Some fantasy sites have him (davis) in the top 10, and I can't see it. I also read a stat that mentioned that the RAMS are a bad matchup for opposing TEs.

    I also have Lance kendricks waiting in the wings. Is this the week I should spring him into action, or Mcmichael since GATES is out.

    Anybody help?

    The fact that they signed Avery rather than somebody off the practice squad makes me believe they aren't confident in Hawkins or Williams.

    Fred Davis.

    The Rams have given up the fewest fantasy points to TEs this season, but they've played the Eagles, who have forgotten Brent Celek is alive, the Giants, whose TEs have been non-existent this season, and they gave up 5 catches for 51 yards to Ed Dickson, which is the only real test they have had this season against a TE.

    All three of those guys have a potential to score <5 points, but Fred Davis is the most likely to score big.

    I am struggling here, who should I start for RB2:

    Frank Gore vs. @PHI
    Kendall Hunter vs. @PHI
    Brandon Jacobs vs. @ Ariz
    Ben Tate vs. PIT

    I don't think it is that easy.

    My first inclination was Ben Tate.

    I think out of Tate and Hunter, do you go with the guy who is starting, will get carries but has done nothing so far.

    Tate isn't starting, but he has been amazing.

    I think that give Tate one more week in your lineup, and let Hunter have one week on your bench, to get his legs under him.

    Hunter could prove me wrong. I actually have him on my team and I am considering him as well. I just think you go with the proven guy in Tate this week.

    Again Hunter easily. Foster is still the pro bowl RB and any time he's at or near full strength he'll have at least 85% of the carries, plus they're going against the Steelers run defense. If Arian is good he well get the majority of the workload and some.

    Eagles have been atrocious against the run and Gore is... well he's being the injury prone Gore we all know.

    Go Hunter.

    Relax. I am not attacking you. I like hunter. But get this perspective: hunter has all of 11 carries for his CAREER.

    Gore is a pro bowler as well. He's going to play too. Just because he isn't starting doesn't mean he won't get the bulk of the carries.

    Another thing you might want to consider, the eagles are a high powered offense, if the niners get down early, it's going to be bad for hunter and gore.

    I don't trust Arian. He could get hurt again.

    We will just have to see what happens. But I'd feel more comfortable with Tate.

    Gore being active, but still hurt makes this a tough decision. I say play Hunter, and hope Gore is only active for an emergency situation (similar to Moreno last week).

    I understand your point of view but Arian has not proven to be as injury prone as Gore in his young career and I am far from confident in Hunter's ability since he's just getting started but given this week's matchups and his other given options to choose from I'd go Hunter. Just my opinion tho.

    So.....

    Wells will play today, but I'm kinda concerned about his hammy still. Moore has a great matchup in NE with a super banged up secondary that will be missing even more personnel today.

    What to do?

    Wells seems like the safer pick. I may gamble on Moore as well. :eek:
