You need to drop Tolbert or Royal. Royal is a 3rd banana and Tolbert didn't get much PT behind Matthews this past week. I would go with D. Thomas if Royal is out.
I'm guessing you guys missed the part about return yards in my league. Eddie Royal has 10 more points than any other free agent WR in my league. If I drop him, I'm not dropping him because it's the best option, I'm dropping him because it's my only option. Right now I'm leaning towards dropping Tolbert.
Pick 2: Ryan Torain @ Chicago MJD @ Kansas City Thomas Jones vs Jacksonville I also have The Law Firm on the bench @ San Diego but wasn't really considering starting him.
Drop Tolbert, my league is like vultures and I dropped him last week due to trade. To my surprise no one picked him up and for good reason, Mathews is back at full strength and receiving the majority of the carries. Tolbert has been reduced to a third down/goal line back, again.
I'd go Drew and Jones. MJD is going to score touchdowns again at some point. Jags defense sucks, so I like Jones. I think you have to play MJD, but the difference between Torain/Jones this week is small.
I'll put myself out on a limb and declare that the Clark injury won't do much for Garcon. He had that highlight grab but I haven't seen much from him during the entire season I've had him. His head just simply isn't there, it seems. Maybe being a more frequent target will force him to snap out of it.
In real life ya. Garcon is like a Jacoby Jones. Factor in Collie being hurt, Gonzales having been out, Garcon will do some fantasy damage.
Need a bye week QB (have Peyton). Matt Ryan vs. Cin or Josh Freeman vs. STL On paper, fantasy wise, it's closer than I thought it would be. Also, I'm debating for my flex between (and these are not great options)... Brandon Jackson vs Minn Mike Tolbert vs. NE Steve Breaston @ Sea Not great options and I'm leaning towards Tolbert only for the goal-line td's.
Between those two I'd take Freeman. Ryan is overrated and has to deal with Leon Hall and Jonathan Joeseph.
Kolb (@Ten) or Eli Manning (@Dal)? I want to start Kolb, but I'm worried that either A) Reid will pull the plug on him at the slightest mishap or B) Vick will actually take the field for some offensive series' to throw the defense off. Dallas pass rush worries me, but Eli did well against them last year and has been very solid so far this year.
