Just a little advice, put who the player is playing and if it's home or away.

Just saying "rg3 or Schaub?!?!?!" means we have to do some digging. If you want a quick answer, put full details.

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.
rg3, always

Go with Eli. I bet the Giants knock RG3 out of this game at some point.

Bradshaw, who will be playing dinged up, vs WASH or Felix Jones vs CAR.....Jones is projected to score 2 more points.

Bradshaw or Steven Jackson (Rams) vs Green Bay or Fred Jackson vs Tennessee?

I have Alfred Morris, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Shon Greene (league starts 2 RBs, no flex). I've got Giants and Patriots defenses. Should I start Morris and Bradshaw with the Pats D. Or start Greene and Bradshaw with Giants D (against RG3)?

Three of these five for WR:

Megatron (vs SEA, 24th most fantasy WR points allowed)
D. Moore (@ KC, 15th most)
Decker (vs NO, 3rd most)
Cobb (vs JAC, 13th most)
J. Gordon (vs SD, 7th most)

... is it crazy to even think about benching Megatron? Seattle's defense is tough, he's been my lowest-scoring WR over the past four weeks, and the rest of my WRs are playing against crap defenses...

I know, but he's too good to bench. I blame the Madden Curse.

If I were you, I'd go with Megatron, Decker, and Cobb.

This may sound crazy but I picked up Weeden and will start him over Cam Newton & Matt Stafford in two different leagues. Fantasy guru's seem to be jumping on Weeden's bandwagon plus he has a pretty favorable matchup, at home.

As much as Stafford has sucked so far this year, I actually like him this week. They've only played two home games so far and he'll be much better in the dome than he was at Soldier Field. BTW, I like the Lions offense to turn it around for the rest of the year. Of their 10 remaining games, six are at home, two are on the road in domes (@ MIN, @ ARI) and one is @ JAC. If nothing else they'll have pretty favorable conditions to operate in.

Don't trust Stafford, at all, to this point. Until he gets his act together or has a favorable matchup (which I don't see this week), he's riding the pine. Weeden can be "boom/bust' but I'm expecting the game against the Chargers to be fairly high scoring.

Yeah, I'm starting Weeden over Romo. Romo has been such a disappointment.

I think I'm gonna be starting Lance Moore and Antonio Bryown over Fitz and Austin. I realllly don't trust whatever shitty cards qb will be playing vs the 49ers and it seems like its either Austin or Bryant that have good games. Never both. It's PPR too btw.

Tough call..

I think Gates will have a solid game, but I think Moore will see 8-10 targets and a possible score. Graham will likely be back, but I would probably roll with Moore on this one.

With Gates you have a potential floor of like 0-5 points, with potential for 20 or so. With Moore, I think you have a floor of like 5-7, still with the potential of 20 or so.

I need help!

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.

i agree...gates has screwed me all year someone had dropped moore when he was hurt and i got lucky to get him and he paid off last week w/9 catches.

in your situation i would go w/ moore for sure...its a tough call as ballard had a good game last week. if its a ppr i would go w/britt tho.
