I was hoping the injury situation would be clearer by now.... Ivory or McCoy? My other RB's are Carlos Hyde, and Matt Forte

I like Olsen as the proven quantity. Plus Reed is less than 100%... although he was during week 1 as well with 60+ yards and a TD.... Still the Redskins are a mess and nothing is a lock for them.... whereas Cam has the ability to put up big numbers and has been proven year over year.... despite his subpar week one. Until there is better consistency with Washington I wouldn't bank on them. mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=448400

McCoy should be a must start, but this season he just hasn't been. I have Shady, Rashard Jennings (against the worst run defense), Justin Forsett (who has been on a tear) against a mediocre run defense that has been gashed the last 2 weeks, and Shady, who has turned in 2 big games in a row. I have McCoy and Jennings based on matchup in my lineup, right now. This might be a damned if i do damned if I dont week for me.... Thoughts

Wallace faces one of the worst pass defenses. However, Hilton is a must start look at his numbers week after week. Even going into a town that is fighting for their playoff life. I like Orton. Take a look at the last 3 games against Seattle. You are not passing against them right now. Orton, going back to Denver. With a chip on his shoulder. In a high scoring game. And oh, even the Jets and Raiders each passed for 2 TD's against Denver. Mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=441491&p=5380503

Jennings faces the worst ranked run defense in the league. Mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=441491&p=5380503

Jets are anemic. You know whoever plays them will likely have 2 interceptions, so you are guaranteed a few points. Say they score 14 or 17 (not likely) plus 2 INTS and what 3, 4, or 5 sacks? Minnesota has an excellent pass D (might be misleading as teams usually just run for the entire second half against them)... although the Jets may be able to run against them. But guess what, the JETS are starting Geno Smith. Enough Said! Mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=441491&p=5380503

bump.... went with reece..... now Stafford or Freeman. I say Freeman he is facing the next to the last passing D and Green Bay is supposed to be snowy and cold for Stafford for a Sunday night game

First RB: McFadden or Marcel Reece QB: Freeman (Versus a piss poor pass defense), Stafford or Dalton I am leaning toward Reece & Freeman

Tate is obviously off the bench, but he has put up 2 100 yard weeks off the bench AND he is playing a bad TB run defense. Benson gets the start, but is playing a tough Pittsburgh defense that gives up less than 100 yards a game. Starks has been underwhelming but is clearly the #1 runner. However, the minnesota defense is even tougher than Pittsburgh. I have Tate penciled in based on match-up and higher upside. What say you???

After last week's performance we know Antonio is back..... but after last weeks performance Fred Davis is putting up numbers just as good. Who would you start? I am thinking Davis, with Moss out and the shakey QB situation there it makes him a much more attractive target for his QB's. His opposing defense this week is just a touch weaker than Antonio's matchup. I say 1 more quality week from Gates until he returns to "must start" status.

Stick with McFadden and Stafford. Bush is more than enough insurance, and McFadden has the bye week, he should come back healthy. Stafford is having a heck of a better season than River... although the ankle is worrysome. And the upgrade with Steve Johnson over Bryant is marginal at best. The other guy is trying to get you to sell low in my opinion. He is hoping that you dump them with the threat of injury. But, he obviously believes they are healthy otherwise he wouldnt want to trade for them right? If you counter with Thomas, you upgrade your RB, Downgrade your QB and hold fast at WR. Which is worth more points? You probably lose some with the downgrade at QB. BTW, I have Stafford, McCoy & McFadden as well.... I have loved that combo... your team is doing well I imagine?

He sat out Friday's practice, but from what I see that was more precautionary. On the flip side, I am also wondering if I should offer 1 as trade bait. I would love to ride gates from here on out, but his health worries me. I guess a deep bench isn't a bad problem.

Gates has had a rough 6 weeks. Davis has junk at QB. But does that mean they will look for him as an outlet more? My thoughts, until I get at least one decent week out of Gates then Davis is a safer play.

Philly is going to shut down the NY passing game. Trent Cole ran roughshod over ATL, Manning is going to spend a lot of time on his back. I dont expect much from NY this week. As well, Eli didnt exactly light it up (READ: Eli sucked b a l l s) vs the Rams, and the Rams certainly do not have Philly's pass rush, or their corners. Stay away from the Giants passing game. New England will be a shoot out, and while there is no clear #1 received for NE, Branch is as safe a play as any on that team. Smith has played well and Cam has some magic going on... we'll see how long that lasts. Boldin is hit or miss with Flacco... who has been hit or miss I like: Smith Branch Nicks Boldin

You are right. Lions @ Minn

Benson is playing the #1 rush defense Starks is at Minnesota

Benson isn't suspended until his appeal is finished. So he is playing this week.

Stafford is lights out right now. But he goes into Minnesota a team with a decent pass defense, regardless of how bad they really are. But Fitzpatrick has been nearly just as good, 7 TD's in 2 games, and he is playing at home against a team that is letting up 400 yards per game passing to (granted Philip Rivers) but Chad Henne as well. Brady will get his 400 yards and 4 TD's so you know it will be a shootout. Do I ride the match up and go with Fitzpatrick? QB: Stafford, Fitz, Peyton RB: McCoy, McFadden, Starks, Ced. Benson, Grant, Ingram WR: Stevie Johnson, S. Moss, Reggie Wayne, Manningham, Colston TE: Gates

I am a Pats fan. So it goes against my team devotion to start someone because it is a good matchup. But Stafford is lights out right now. I probably have to ride that pony until he cant ride no more.

I heard that they may give him one of those "I've Fallen and I cant get up" necklaces for every time Mario Williams destroys him after he comes back. That and Wilford Brimley is going to replace him in at least 8 of his 27 commercial spots.

Had Pey Pey as a keeper, got Stafford around the 10th or 12th round BEFORE the news came out that Peyton had another surgery. I picked up Fitz last week on waivers but am holding Peyton just in case as he may be available for the last 3 or 4 weeks... its just so hard to part with him.... it would be like driving out to the country with the pet squirrel you raised from birth and letting him go.... its just so hard to say good. disclaimer: I have never raised a squirrel from birth.

Thanks for the help with mine. gage's production last week was good against a mid range D and he is tempting to play against the horrid Jet's D. But I would consider that a breakout that doesn't repeat. Jones is still a game tiem decision against a mid range D and he has been mercurial this season with only flashes of good numbers. So I wouldn't count on him for much. Avery has been getting some good production over several weeks, and is facing a weak D so I would anticipate him having a decent chance at a good week. I think Holmes has a decent matchup and got quite a few targets last week. I would go with Holmes & Avery.

From what I hear Jacobs is a go. If anything he will sit if the game opens up, so Ward may not be much of an option. Colston is still having trouble getting up and running. However, I think he may be a better option than Ward. I like Bowe and Colston. Thanks for the help with mine.

Starting: Cutler, B. Jacobs & Roddy White Need 3 Flex: Larry Johnson vs. Buf (getting the bulk of touches again w/ a decent matchup) Jamal Lewis vs. Houston (Hrrison beginning to take more reps but good matchup Kevin Walter @ CLE (good matchup) Jonathan Stewart @ ATL (appears healthy again, coming off monster week, good matchup) Lee Evans @ KC (good matchup coming off bad week) Others: Ray Rice & Ocho Cinco Which 3?

throw me a bone. Will reply to yours.
