He's a name at this point, he has zero value as a WR

While you don't expect 20 points a week anymore...I'm guessing the owner thought 10 wasn't out of the question...even 5 would've got the job done.

Fitzgerald + Skelton = a 30-yard ceiling for Fitzgerald

Until they fix the QB situation in Arizona, Fitzgerald will continue to be 100% completely worthless.

Even worse...the guy traded RGIII for Fitz in week 2...and got beat by the guy he traded with.

I got 2 TOTAL pts from my K and Def. Fuck the Steelers and Greg Zuerlein (well, the Rams for blowing dick).

I had Lynch in there, but was playing the Seattle D. Which fucked me twice, cause Lynch was essentially benched at half because of the score!!!

Amazingly, despite having Maclin and Josh Gordon on the bench (for Givens and Hilton) I have a chance tonight. Have Daniels and Foster going down 32 in a PPR. He has no one.

I won in my playoff league. And thankfully my other league isn't in playoffs yet because Bryce Brown, Kyle Rudolph, and the Bears D did nothing for me.

Sounds like my week .. J Charles, Moreno, SJax all with good-to-great weeks while I'm on bye. Pretty much a guaranteed tank next week now

Tonight, I started ahead about nine points. My opponent still had Andre Johnson. I had Gostkowski.

I lost by 1.01 points. Too wide a margin for one more PAT to have done any good. All I needed was ONE damn fieldgoal.

I got the second seed in the playoffs and now have the worst matchups of all time. I have to pick three out of four running backs against the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 7th fantasy rushing defenses, my QB against the 5th fantasy passing defense, a WR against the 6th fantasy receiving defense, and my TE against the 2nd fantasy right end defense.

Maclin vs. Bengals. Seahawks D is pretty nasty.

Heath Miller vs. Cowboys, or Owen Daniels vs. Colts.
I'd typically lean towards Daniels, but he killed me last night with only 4 points and I barely advanced in playoffs by a point.

Dolphins vs. Jax
Lions vs. ARI

Hakeem Nicks vs. ATL/Antonio Brown vs. DAL/TY Hilton vs. HOU - non PPR

Lions easy, ARI might be the worst offense we've seen in the last few years.

I take the risk on TY, HOU's secondary has some injuries so their CB2 is really down the depth chart. Wayne might get doubled a lot leaving TY 1 on 1.





Mine...

Wayne vs HOU
Danario Alexander vs CAR.

Wayne has been more average the last 5 or 6 weeks while Alexander has been one of the top WRs in the NFL the last 5 weeks.

I hate sitting Wayne because for the season he is top 10 in points at WR, but Alexander is just too hot.

I only start 2 WRs and my other is AJ Green.

2nd...

Houston DST against INDY
Vikings DST against STL

Wayne has been so solid. Do you need a big week out of your WR2 to win? I would say Wayne is more likely to get his projection while Alexander is more likely to have a 25 pt game or a 5 point game. Not sure if that makes sense. Made sense in my head but hurts my head reading it.

We get return yards, I have to choose between 1 between Hilton/Alexander/Ant.Brown. I can start another in the flex but then I can't start Mathews there. He has been awful but I like his matchup this week.

Donnie Avery is my concern. I have Hartline, but the guy has become a nobody lately.

I'm also thinking about starting AJ Green and Andrew Hawkins in one of my leagues. Hoping they both see a lot of targets.

clark or pitta. I'd lean clark but it's a toss up. I think new OC in baltimore gives rice more touches and takes the ball out of the the hands of retard flacco.

Another TE question, Brandon Pettigrew looks like he's gonna fuck me and be out this week so I need to pick up another TE.

Best available:
Dennis Pitta
Marcedes Lewis
Dallas Clark
Jacob Tamme
Joel Dreessen

Leaning toward adding Pitta but I don't know how he'll be used in a newer offense...

Pitta is the best option, imo

Ok boys, I will give you a thoughtful answer to any of your dilemmas if you answer these two "who do you start" and include why you would go that way:

1. Eli Manning (at Atlanta) or Matt Schaub (vs Indy) - right now, I am going with Eli, as the Giants are getting hot. But Atlanta has a tough D, and Schaub has a better matchup (but I fear Houston will pound the ball on the ground).

2. Kenny Britt (at Jets) or Justin Blackmon (at Miami) - right now, I am rolling with the hot Britt, but he will likely be going up against Cromartie. Blackmon will have less pressure with Shorts back this week, but the rookie is very unpredictable.

Thanks!
