Heath Miller or Kyle Rudolph? Miller faces San Diego, which hasn't been kind to TEs this year, but the Bears are no slouch either, and Rudolph has them to worry about with no Percy Harvin to keep the passing D's attention.
I'd go Miller. Rudolph is either big score of goose egg IMO.

Golden Tate (Arizona..11th fewest to WRs.18 pts 3 of last 4 weeks)
Myers - all Oakland does is throw the ball. He won't get 14 catches again but he's going to get a lot of targets. If you're in a PPR for sure start him. Man with those 3 receivers my gut says Tate.

Really? Oakland's run D is terrible. And Moreno has gotten 20 carries the past 2 weeks.
Fred had a great week last week, but CJ is still the man.

You just seem so confident in Fredddddddd!!!

Their HC just loves Jackson..not sure why as I think CJ is really good. Last week Fredddd was healthy, and he got 11 more carries (25) than CJ.

STL at home, that's a good matchup for a RB.

I just don't think Moreno is any good. It's not that it's a bad matchup or a usage issue...he just doesn't make plays. @ Oakland in a primetime (sorta) game, could see a lot of carries go to Ronnie Hillman (5 last week).

I'd go Fred

Hmm - i think safe bet is Moore and Decker, but I'd probably go Jennings/Moore. I think that has more potential for big points.

Oakland sucks so who knows - but i think biggest potential points come from Roddy/Jennings/Moore. Plus, with Jordy out Jennings will get more targets.

Nola def. is shaky so it's a strong possibility. I think Moore is their best WR too.

Myers at the TE position. Might be the best receiver on their team right now.

As for the other three, I'd say the safest bet is Tate, but a lot of that is based on the QB situation. Russell Wilson has really come on in recent weeks. Britt is famine unless he scores a TD. Maclin ... I just haven't seen enough of Foles to like anyone in their receiving game yet.

Roddie, Jennings, and Moore. I was never a big fan of Moore, but he's come a long way this year, and Peyton has been spreading the wealth too much in Denver to count on Decker there. When you throw a TD pass to a defensive tackle, you're definitely a spread-the-wealth guy.

WR - Roddy White
WR - Lance Moore
WR - Givens/Gordon/Wallace

I'm stuck on starting White and Moore this week (PPR league).

Having a tough time choosing between the other 3 -- Wallace is pretty much out because of his knee issue and the QB situation...

Gordon is probably the more popular choice, but I think I'm going to roll with Givens assuming Amendola is out...If Amendola is in I'm going to go with Gordon I think.

Wallace hasn't even been good with Ben so I'd sit him. I'm pretty sure Amendola is out and if he isn't he won't play a full 60mins. I'd go Gordon against the Chiefs though.

Yep. Sit Givens if Amendola is back. Sit Gordon if he's still out.

Do NOT start Wallace, and this from a Steelers fan.

I'd do the same...I'm hoping for around 7rec, 80-100 yds, and a TD from Moore....Even without the TD those numbers aren't so bad in PPR.

the only problem is and the reason i might change my mind is that those stats are basically like max for him...i kinda need a homerun this week..brady plays houston...my running backs suck...the guy i play has a really good team so i keep going back and forth..decker hasnt had a good game in weeks but he has a couple 30 point outbursts this year

First week of the playoffs and my defense options are terrible.

Do I start the Texans (against New England) or the Vikings (against CHI).

I'd go Vikings since they're at home and Cutler can throw an interception or two.
