Yeah, it was the perfect storm for the Browns (ignore the pun).

I'd probably go Freeman vs Oakland. That's a tough decision to drop Newton. Better question, why do you have 3 QBs?

Would you start J. Charles vs SD or D. Martin vs Oakland? I'm leaning D. Martin.

With the mess in KC, I'd go with Martin.

Romo @ ATL or Schaub vs BUF? Romo should get more yards but he's always about to throw 4 INTs, whereas Schaub doesn't turn it over a lot but also likely won't throw for as many yards or TDs.

Eh, Romo's TDs are iffy as well. I have him and Weeden and I start Weeden half the time (as he has outscored Romo in my league several times).

I'd go with Shaub as the safer option. Romo only if you need a desperate home run pick between the two.

Got caught in an add/drop with a bye weekend, but it gives me a little leverage for a trade...and I'd go with Martin ;)

Which two RBs...

L. McCoy @ NO
C. Johnson vs CHI
R. Bush @ Indy
R. Matthews vs. KC

I've started McCoy every week (except bye), and I've got a feeling that CJ is on his way back (had him off the bench the past 2 weeks and he's done good) but I don't know if I like him against Chicago D. I'm thinking Bush and Matthews but not sure.

Nola can't stop anyone so i'd go McCoy and KC sucks so Matthews should be on the field a lot. Also, there's always the chance of a blow out so even more touches for matthews.

It's your team, but i would go Shady and Matthews.

This is what I'd do but Bush against Indy's run defense is tempting too.

I'd go Vjax and Cobb. Flacco and KC QBs suck.

He needs three. I'd probably go Smith too only in that Flacco sucks less than KC's QB's.

He's supposedly been practicing but haven't seen his recent status.

Also, I have 49ers Defense which is on a bye, and I have the Eagles as a backup...do I go with the Eagles who play NOLA, or do I look at a different defense to start?

The good thing is I've got all my starters and my opponent has Brady and S. Jackson on bye.

Depends who's available. I wouldn't trust any D against Brees.

Same here. I have the Eagles defense and I'm going to dump them. I'll probably be a waiver wire vulture the rest of the year with my defense, playing the matchups.

Same. Maclin hasn't done much and Cobb is slowly becoming a main option for the Pack. Plus you might get a return score from him, correct?

Agree. Cobb has been awesome for me this year, especially these past few weeks.
