Sorry accidentally posted this in main forum. Mods: Please move to "A Little Help". Sorry....my bad.

OK this is a critical week for me in my league. I absolutely must get a win or I'm done so I need your help. I have 3 QBs on my roster....Cam Newton, Philip Rivers and Ryan Fitzpatrick. While Newton has unquestionably been the better performer all season, Rivers has been been heating up lately (especially the past 2 weeks). However, both of them face tough matchups this week....Newton against the #1-ranked Houston Texans' defense (#3 against the pass) and the #3-ranked Baltimore Ravens (#5 against the pass) for Rivers. Who would you start? Or, would you abandon both to take a flyer on Ryan Fitzpatrick against a really weak Miami (25th against the pass) secondary? Oh dear, what to do, what to do!!!??? Post yours and I will respond. Thanks!!

I thought I stole him in the second round. I start him every week. He hasn't done anything all year. Last week, Ryan went to Harry Douglas in crunch time....not sure what to do with him anymore. Will this guy ever step up this season?

Sproles is a PPR must-start IMO. S-Jax looked like a man possessed last week. Go with them.

I'd basically agree....a 6.5 or 7 that would be dramatically improved with a better second option at RB. You've got 2 solid QBs....dangle one as bait to get a good #2 back if you can. You'll also be significantly improved once AJ comes back.

Not to sound like a recording but....Battle.

With Andre Johnson out again this Sunday, you know that Schaub will be looking for Daniels, Dreessen and Casey in the red zone. Brady looks for Welker first and then the TEs.

Branch and Stevie. You have to go with Johnson's upside versus Jones. Good luck.

You're at risk at RB with Best being banged up and the Hillis situation creating lots of doubt going forward there. I would be very hesitant to trade Forte with the year he is having. I agree with the 2nd half assessment of Roddy White as well so maybe you could push for him instead.

Can't pull the trigger fast enough on that one. Do it and don't look back.

I wouldn't take Tebow over Big Ben under any circumstances....unless he was playing Mississippi State.

I have a similar problem although I have better options at wideout. I don't see Stevie doing much against Revis so, of the two, Nelson is likely to be open more often and, hence, get more throws targeted at him. Good luck....you'll need it.

You need a number 1 RB. Battle isn't it.

Murray had one big game against a pitiful Rams run D and now everyone is going crazy over him (typical Cowboy mania). Until he shows some consistency, I'd stick with the proven commodity in Blount.

Me neither. You're loaded at every position now and, with the addition of AJ, deep as well. Good job!

I've got a chance to get Cam Newton but my trading partner wants Andre Johnson (who should be back this Sunday). Standard scoring. Here's how I am set now: QB - Rivers, Fitzpatrick WR - AJ, Roddy White, Steve Johnson, Brandon Lloyd, Anquan Boldin, Victor Cruz I'm OK at RB so my tact has been to spot-play Fitz until Rivers comes around. This past week, I started Rivers and he killed me. I'm starting to think he'll never come around and even if he does it will be too late for me (already down 2 games in my league). Would you do this deal or wait for Rivers to get his act together? I need wins NOW. Any help appreciated. Post your link and I will reply.

News today says CJ will be splitting carries with Ringer from here on out. That may be a ploy by Munchak to motivate CJ but it would scare me as an owner. Blount has great upside with Graham out of the picture. Go for it.

I agree about Doucet/Baldwin. Ogbonnaya isn't going to help you from my perspective.

I wouldn't do it. Fitzgerald will be awful until he gets a decent QB to throw to him.

You're in trouble at QB either way since Rivers has been awful but everyone has to believe that he will break out at some point. You'll be strong at WR with this deal although giving up Foster will hurt your ppr a bit. I'd probably do it and just hope Rivers comes through eventually.

Bye week for Gonzalez so I have to pick from this list from the waiver wire: Dustin Keller Heath Miller Delanie Walker Jeff King Visanthe Shiancoe Joel Dreessen Ben Watson Daniel Fells James Casey Ed Dickson Tony Scheffler Standard scoring rules. Any input appreciated. Leave a link and I'll reply to yours. Thanks!

Assuming standard scoring, I'd go with Gates. His red-zone potential makes him a must-start any week he is healthy.

No way! Rivers has been flat-out awful this year. I don't know if he's injured or what but he ain't the guy everyone was projecting him to be pre-season.

I wouldn't go nuts over Murray just yet. After all, he put up those big numbers against the Rams (See "Torrey Smith").

Lloyd without question.
