I'm also in a world of trouble at RB this week with Fred Jackson going down.

I picked up Jonathan Dwyer. It's between him and Beanie Wells to start at RB2. Any thoughts?

Dwyer is a bit banged up but could be the lead back in Pitt this week against the Jets. Beanie I have no idea what to expect after sucking week 1 and splitting carries with Ryan Williams.

I've got spiller and Jonathan Stewart to replace Cedric no show benson. Who should I go with I'm leaning towards spiller.

The good news is Williams sucked more than Wells week 1. I think I would go with Wells just because of the match up this week.

Spiller torched the Jets last week, so I think they are going to be extra tough on the run.

Spiller is a must start until Jackson is back.

Spiller, as Stewart is still banged up.

Fred Jackson went down, I was 10th on the waiver wire, my backup (Stewart) injured, had to pick up McCluster. So I guess I'm starting Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster against a team with LeShaun McCoy and Marshawn Lynch....yikes.

Wells because of mathcup against the Pats D that Chris Johnson rushed 11 times for a whopping 4 yards against?? I realize chris johnson is not the same as years passed but he's still a hell of a lot better than beanie wells and that craptastic oline the cards are rocking.

Ya I just picked up Dwyer too, I'm in full blown damage control mode with Jackson down. I just read last night that Mendenhall may actually be good to go Sunday & could get the start so I'd lean towards Beanie for now, just keep your eyes on the Steelers situation as the week goes on. That's my gameplan anyway.

I also need to decide on Alshon Jeffery and if he should replace one of Desean Jackson Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald

The only one in that list that you should even consider is Jackson...Even then I don't know if I would put him in just yet.

[PeteLFan]

Yeah it's a hard call he had a good week last week. Fitzgerald and Johnson are easy to keep.

Dwyer has Mendenhall (who is probably going to play) and Redman infront of him, the Jets D at home.

Sure Wells isn't the best option in the world but he is a better play than Dwyer at the moment. Dwyer will be good down the road when he takes over because Mendenhall and Redman can't get the job done, but until he has more of a role in the game plan he is probably someone you shouldn't start.

Did you not get Spiller or Ridley?

Mendy first game back is going to be limited carries at best. Redman was awful and Dwyer will be in front of him. Jets D is good, but I think Dwyer has a way better shot of making a couple big plays than Beanie Wells in New England. Plus Arizona is most likely going to be behind most of the game and will be passing more. Not sure who the passing down back is, but I'm guessing one mistake by either Williams or Wells will mean the end of the day for them.

Dwyer has a foot problem as well, at this point Steelers have been pretty quiet about it so who knows if it's going to be an issue or not.

I think Stephens-Howling is the passing down back out there.

I still think Wells is the best option, both are not very good plays this week but if that's all you have then you gotta roll with it. But that's just what I think.

Different league, I got 3 going on. And ya I took Spiller in that one, that's a 10 teamer with a bunch of duds.

The one with Dwyer is a 14 teamer which is intense. I'm the commissioner & thinking of dropping it to 12 next year, man FA is just a complete scrap heap. Take on a couple big injuries & you're pretty much done like dinner.

Yeah even with 12 teams you are pretty limited if you get an injury or 2.

I still can't believe someone cut Reggie Bush for Dallas Clark. I missed out on Morris, but Bush will help me out with my RB situation.

I went from Forte, Tate, Wells, Spiller, R. Jennings...Swapped out Jennings for Bush, Jackson gets hurt and now I am looking better.

[Sainters7]

PPR league I'm assuming, ya that's pretty solid. I've got both Gronk & Fleener at TE, if my RB sitchy doesn't get any better soon and Fleener keeps producing like he did week 1, I may have to dangle Gronk & get myself a top RB here. Otherwise it's gonna be a long season. Haha and man do you ever get chirped when you crap the bed & are the commissioner.

[Hockeyguy15]

Threaten to alter line ups if they don't shut up lol

[Sainters7]

Haha ya I won't lie, when your season goes down the crapper and you have those abilities, the temptation is strong to pull some tomfoolery..

I find I catch more crap when things are going well for me as commissioner. I somehow won the first overall pick two years in a row a few years back and they've never let me live it down.
