Starting Megatron and Denarius Moore at WR1 and WR2, but with Decker on a bye I need a WR3 to plug into my lineup:

Randall Cobb @ StL
Josh Gordon @ Ind

I play three receivers. Current starters are Boldin, Cruz, and Lance Moore. I picked up Mike Williams from the Bucs too. Should I start Williams over Moore?

...or sit Boldin all together, and play Moore, Williams, and Cruz (My reasoning: The Ravens will be relying on Rice to carry them to victory. Thus, limiting Boldin's touches)

Need to start 2 out of the following 3: Alfred Morris (at NYG), Chris Johnson (at Buf), and Hakeem Nicks (vs WAS). Thoughts?

Pretty sure Moore has an injury that may limit him.

Morris and CJ. Buffalo's defense is pretty bad so CJ should get his yards. And Morris is basically a must-start at this point.

Ahh...I sat him last week, but not because of the injury. Totally forgot he was even out.

Moore should be fine as he's had a few weeks to heal (Saints were on a bye last week as I'm sure you knew). But I'd still start Williams over him.

Pick 2 (terrible bye week for me)

Vick Ballard, Lance Moore, Josh Gordon

Thinking about Rolling with Moore and Gordon, I don't see Ballard getting a lot of touches again...PPR league

qb - Romo
rb - rice
wr - Wallace
wr - Britt
TE - Graham (Daniels if Graham is out)

bye weeks:
Matt Ryan, Lesean McCoy, Roddy White :(

I have issues with the bye week. I have to replace Peyton at QB, and I had no backup QB. Virtually everyone else in the league does, so pickings are REALLY slim.

Sadly, it looks like Fitzpatrick and Weeden are the best options. This sucks.

Those are 2 decent options this week...Weeden has played well lately and Fitz has a good matchup..I think either will be good for 15-20 pts

With Fitz's last couple games being fantasy bombs, and with Weeden's last few being okay, I'm going with the Weed.

Horrible, horrible week for me..fuck
McCoy on BYE, Mendenhall and D Murray out for injuries

So I need 2 RBs:

Baron Batch or Jonathon Dwyer (Pittsburgh fans..who is going to get the majority of the carries?)
Vick Ballard
Or an owner said he'd trade me Powell from Arizona for one of my TEs-Pettigrew or Bennett from NYG

What do I do

Trade Bennett for Powell. Bennett had 24 targets in the first 3 weeks. He has like 8 since then. he is on my bench for the time being and no one in my league will take the bait for a trade.

Eli or RGIII?

I have Victor Cruz if that sways your decision.

My problem, is that whomever I start each week, the other guy has the huge week.
