I'm taking a gamble on Decker. White has burned me a couple times this year so he can GFH.

And with a single play, Shane Vereen beats his projection.

And I have to face him this week.

Awesome.

This guy had him in all week, and I've been thinking, "You never trust a running back on a Bill Belichick team."

Sumbitch.

You do when the other RB is not playing.

Vereen was a must start. Easy

With all the talk about Bolden this week, I don't think he's a must-start at all. ESPECIALLY with Billy B's scowling mug on the sideline.

You really think bolden was gonna take over instead of vereen?

Of course not take over. But possibly steal enough action to frustrate Vereen owners. Would it really have surprised you if Belichick had done that?

Yes. Bolden is not good

Have Vereen in two leagues.

Started him in one. Sat him in the other.

The league I sat him I have Charles and Bradshaw. Bradshaw's worst week has been 9.5 and Charles is Charles. Not mad about the decision.

Didn't start him cause I listened to people. I had a hunch he was gonna pop off but stuck with Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders will be a nice flex still, but against SF, don't see much more than a 6 catch 80 yard ceiling.

Just got Cobb for Michael Floyd and DeAndre Hopkins in a 14-team non-PPR league. This guy's receivers were ridiculously depleted, and I honestly gave him two guys that will be starting weekly for him.

My starting lineup now looks like:

QB P. Mannning
WR R. Cobb
WR B. Cooks
WR O. Beckham, Jr.
RB E. Lacy
RB A. Smith (R. Jennings when he gets back)
TE A. Gates
W/R A. Boldin
K D. Bailey
DEF Houston/Philadelphia (whichever has the better matchup that week)

BN S. Jackson (RB)
BN A. Robinson (WR)
BN R. Jennings (RB)
BN K. Orton (QB)

I just traded for Frank Gore, so now I want Hyde as a handcuff. I offered Zac Stacy and C. Patterson for Jordan Cameron and Hyde. He said no, but would do it for Oliver or Hillman instead of Stacy.

I am pretty loaded at RB right now (Charles, Gore, Stacy, Richardson, Hillman, Oliver and Crowell). So I am going to make the trade, but which would you go with? Hillman or Oliver??

I think I trade Hillman.

I'd probably trade Hillman, though that's a close call. Oliver has gotten ever-so-few more opportunities the last two weeks, and he seems to be seeing more targets out of the backfield (which is no surprise, given the rest of Denver's receiving options).

In the, "hold your nose because one of these guys are starting department", here is my dilemma of the week.

Flex

1. Kendall Wright- If Locker plays, I like it a lot more. If he doesn't, I don't know if I can roll with him.
2. Knile Davis- Don't laugh. We get return yard and Yahoo has him projected for 96 return yards, a handful of rushes and a catch or two. Highest projection of the whole group at 14.04.
3. Cordarrelle Patterson- Again, return yards are the only reason he is on the radar. He's been simply terrible since week 1.
4. Jonathan Stewart- Seems like the best bet for touches but coming off injury. Packers D isn't very stout vs the run.

If Graham starts, the situation becomes easy because I will play Jordan Reed in the flex over any of those guys.

With return yards, I probably go Knile Davis. After that, I might take a crap shoot on the Vikings finally getting Patterson the frigging ball, but I could see Wright in here, too. Either one.

I just dropped JStew because he ... well, he just sucks.

In games where Locker plays, Wright has good numbers. He hasn't been good when Whitehurst is in there. JStew is not a good option but this is as good as he will be ever be with Williams and Tolbert sidelined. Stewart is head and shoulders above the group of Reaves, Obanyanna and Fozzy Bear.

Knile Davis may in fact be the best option. I'm just hoping Graham takes a horse tranquilizer and sucks it up and plays.

Yeah, I was putting Patterson on there as a potential breakout candidate. Wright is probably safer if Locker is playing ... probably.

JStew will be the true feature back, but I just think he sucks to the degree that he's an inferior play to the other options, even with the solo role.

So here's a question, as I have both Antone Smith and Steven Jackson in Atlanta's backfield. Which should I start this week? Smith has been unreal on so few touches, but Jackson has been mediocre on the lion's share of the action. Do I go with the volume and assume that Smith will come down to earth, or do I bet on Smith having earned an expanded role and still playing at a higher level than Jackson?

Start/Sit

Hoyer vs. Jax

Rivers vs KC or Wilson vs StL? I don't think I can go wrong with either.

Can't sit Rivers. Main league, Luck and Romo, and I'm in the same boat...win either way. I've been unable to sit Luck despite how good Romo is.

PPR - De'Sean or Smith Jr?
PPR - Rueben Randle or Reggie Bush?
Tony Romo vs Jay Cutler?

The Browns QB or the number one fantasy QB against a defense that just gave up 37 points to an offense that hasn't scored 37 points since 2010?

Come on man..
