Yeah I'm probably going to go with Luck. Have to ride the momentum. Romo and the Cowboys and just sucking it up on offense right now. Ravens have been better against the QB than the Jets anyway.

After a 5-pick performance, you don't start Romo until he strings two good games together. I'm speaking as a Romo owner who had to pick up Weeden this past week. I don't regret it.

Donald Brown ruled out 2-3 weeks, so if Vick Ballard is available in your league consider picking him up for a start this week.

I've got 4 RBs and can only play 3 (2 RBs plus Flex)... who do I go with?

LeShoure, Adrian Peterson (going with), Michael Turner or DeMarco Murray?

Also, WRs:
Crabtree, Hartline, Floyd (SD), Torry Smith or Miles Austin

I would go with AP, Turner and Murray.

Your WR: Austin, Smith, Hartline as top 3. Crabtree and Floyd a notch below.

My dilemmas this week:

Fred Jackson or Vick Ballard. Leaning towards Ballard. Will get the bulk of the carries and Jackson hasn't shown anything yet.

Luck vs the Jets or Stafford vs the Eagles

I'm about ready to release BJGE...worthless piece of crap. Heard some stats on him this morning that make me want to puke, as far as my FF lineup goes.

I'd go with AP, Turner, and Murray and for WRs Austin, Crabtree, and Smith.

I would go with Ballard and I think you can't go wrong with either QB But I'd probably go with Stafford.

Fred Jackson (@ARI) or Mikel Leshoure (@PHI)?

Also, in a different league, for flex:
Alex Green (@HOU)
Bolden (@SEA)
Mike Williams (vs KC)
Davone Bess (vs StL) or
Michael Crabtree (vs NYG)?

Yes, I realize I just laid out damn near my entire bench but I think any of them could have an good day and they all have drawbacks.

yeesh...i think your RBs are a toss up.

And I'd go Crabtree.

Personally, I'd go with LeShoure in the former, as I think Detroit is going to have a good game and be up plenty for at least a third of the game, meaning they'll start handing off more frequently. I could see Buffalo and Arizona being a dogfight (weird to say, given their records).

In the latter, I'd go Crabtree in a PPR. Bolden in a non-PPR.

Pick up Ballard. I think he can be a good spot start for a couple of weeks until Brown returns.

I went with my gut and started Roethlisberger last night instead of Rodgers against the Texans. He got me 26.** points.

We'll have to see, of course, but it wasn't a bad start for him.

Eli Manning at San Fran, or Matt Schaub vs Green Bay? Been rolling with Eli all season, but based on matchups, I am leaning toward Schaub today. Thoughts?

James Jones (GB vs HOU) or Desean Jackson (PHI vs DET). Jones is projected to score 8 more points by NFL.com

Eli vs SF or Stafford vs PHI?

Is Hakeem Nicks going to play?

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed the Eli question above.

Two of:

Brandon Lloyd (vs NYJ)
Antonio Brown (@ CIN)
Michael Crabtree (vs SEA)
Mike Williams (vs NO)

Leaning Lloyd and Williams given that TB seems to be opening things up a bit and Williams is a big part of that, but not sure.

Definitely Lloyd. Either Williams or Crabtree ... toss-up for me.

My RBs are a mess right now..McCoy on BYE, Demarco Murray is out this week, and Mendenhall is day to day.

So I picked up Baron Batch in case mendy can't go.

So I have to start Vick Ballard vs the Browns.

Any waiver players you guys think is worth a spot start this week? Freakin strapped at RB this week.
