In my flex (not PPR):
RB Rashard Jennings (Jones-Drew backup, 15pts last week)
WR Dwayne Bowe
WR James Jones

I would rank them as:
Jennings
Bowe
Jones


I think Jennings is going to be good for at least 80-100 total yards, it's PPR and I'm sure he'll have at least 3-4 catches, then hopefully a TD -- I would expect an easy 12-15 from him.

Thanks. I was leaning towards Jennings, as well, but wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting to Jennings' output last week and with MJD injured.

Bowe or Steve Smith?

With AJG on bye, I have to start one of these with Wayne.

I have Rice on bye too, but my RBs are ok with Mathews and Lynch to start.

This is by far my worst bye week (not total players, just impact to my team) with Rice and Green both on bye.

My for sure starters:

QB - Ryan
RB - McCoy
RB/WR -????
WR - M Wallace
WR - R White
WR - ????
TE- Bennett
K - Akers

I need another RB/WR, and another WR - so I need 2 more starters

I can choose from the following:

Lance Moore
Kenny Britt
Josh Gordon
Vick Ballard

As of now, my lineup is set to include Lance Moore and Kenny Britt, with Ballard and Gordon on the bench.

I'm trying to trade Gordon right now for 2013 draft pick (keeper league), so that would make the decision a bit easier.
Kenny Britt for sure...Gordon is tempting, as he'll definitely have a 50 yard TD catch (but then not much else). Ballard is starting, but with a tough matchup. I'd probably go Lance Moore.

FYI...if you have Aaron Hernandez in your TE spot, he didn't make the trip to England with the Pats. Apparently his wife is about to give birth and they are not sure whether he'll play or not.

That was the report earlier, but Schefter is now reporting that it is actually due to his ankle and not the birth.

With the rain in Cleveland, I'm now debating on whether to start Weeden.

Two leagues, Cam Newton (at Chicago) and Matt Stafford (vs Seattle). I picked Weeden up this week because, frankly, I just don't trust Cam or Stafford...especially this week.

Weeden had a favorable matchup but with the rain I think the passing game could be grounded. Not to mention the Browns receivers aren't exactly "sure handed."

Well, the rain will make the dropsies worse unless the Chargers will give them the stickum hookup. ;)

Jordy Nelson is inactive today, so those of you with him will have to find an alternative.

Yikes.



Also, could someone please tell me who kidnapped Calvin Johnson in the first half? At one point, I was checking for updates on him to see if he just wasn't in the game.

Playing Weeden over Stafford = bad call. I'm still winning and should win but it would've been an extra 30 points with Stafford.

One of those things you couldn't know. Stafford has been broke lately, and Weeden has been serviceable. Weeden himself didn't actually have a bad game. They just didn't throw a lot and the receivers were dropping balls, once again.

The only thing that maybe could have been seen ahead of time was the weather they were likely going to play in.

I almost did that until I saw the weather for Cleveland.

On the bright side it's a no brainier going forward as Stafford looked like the guy who finished last year. Unfortunately for me Megatron still doesn't and its going to cost me this week.

The weather was, of course, my concern. I almost switched to Stafford at the last second. Agree on the dropped balls, again. Receivers haul those in and he probably has another 70 yards and he just missed Watson for a long TD. I bet Gordon catches that pass.
