    Need some quick reassurance.

    I have Chris Johnson as my RB 1 and I need a RB2 and have Mendenhall vs Bal and Forte vs Giants.

    I am leaning towards Forte because of the matchup and the Giants being 26th in run defense.

    Also My Recievers are

    Boldin
    Nicks
    Lloyd
    Murphy

    I need to start 2 of them. At the moment I have Boldin and Murphy in there but if Murphy can't play then I have to decide between Lloyd and Hakeem Nicks.

    It seems like Mendenhall should be a must-start, while Ben is out anyway. He may not dominate but you know he's good for 20 touches and red zone carries, something you can't say for Forte. And Chicago has been downright awful running the ball, so consider that if you don't get points for Forte's receptions. Baltimore's run-d hasn't been as dominant as usual either.

    Do you have a flex spot? If so I'd start both Forte and Mendenhall. Outside of Boldin, none of your receivers are automatic starts and even Boldin has a really tough matchup this week (vs. Steelers).

    J. Best with turf toe against GB or R Rice with a knee bruise against Steelers?

    L. Murphy vs Houston or B. Edwards vs Buffalo?

    I'd go Murphy. The Jets are a running team, so if they have the lead(as I expect them to) they should keep it on the ground. Houston doesn't have the most reliable secondary, and add to that the fact that Oakland will more than likely have to throw it to stay in the game. Of course, those are just my assumptions...

    MJD and Forte. And I would strongly consider starting McCoy at flex if available.

    Both have great matchups this week but I feel better about the Saints D/ST against a clueless rookie QB and a terrible offense. The Browns at least have the option of just running the ball all day.

    Nope don't have a flex in this league which is what is making it really hard for me to make up my mind.

    Should I start Mark Sanchez or Jay Cutler for my QB this week?

    I currently have Sanchez starting, but not really sure.

    Thanks!

    RB - Gore
    RB - McFadden

    I've got 2 flex positions; who takes them?

    Mark Clayton
    Mike Wallace
    Ryan Matthews

    I have to start either Clinton Portis or Joseph Addai. Both are kind of banged up but I'm thinking Addai. Thoughts?

    I would not trust Sanchez as a starter. Not that I have a lot of faith in Cutler, but he is far more capable of putting up points.

    I think Brown is out for IND so go with Addai. If its PPR there is nothing to contemplate, Addai.

    I have Steven Jackson (RB) vs Kevin Walter (WR) to decide on who to start on my RB/WR spot.

    Normally, it would be a no brainer to start Jackson, but he has been hurt all week and only now listed as probable. Walter in fact has scored more points than Jackson throughout the season.

    Should I stick with Walter this week?
