Tough choice for me at QB this week, Stafford at home against an undermanned KC D, or Schaub in Miami against a team Brady put a 500 spot on. I've also got Megatron so I'm leaning towards Stafford, may be a gametime decision here...

I think you have your games mixed up...houston is in Miami and KC is in Detroit

Tough call...I would probably go with Stafford to double up the points

Sainters7 · 09-16-2011, 12:01 PM

Ah yes, thanks. That makes my decision easier. Stafford at home it is.

I now can't wait to see the highlights of Schaub throwing 4TD's in Miami...

So do you guys think Hakeem Nicks plays or if he does do you think it still would be better to sit him? I don't have much in the way of WR on my bench. Robert Meachem and Jerome Simpson.

Montana Moe · 09-16-2011, 08:35 PM

Meachem might be a good play, with Colston out and Moore gimpy at best, he's pretty much the #1 WR option.

If Moore can't go, I'm also weighing on whether I should snag Meachem or Henderson. Meachem seems like the obvious choice, but frankly he still seems to have rookie IQ out there, I've seen him disappear for games at a time (as I'm sure you have), he just does dumb stuff sometimes. Henderson's a little more consistent as the vet and coming off a 100 yard game, but after 7+ years of him I think we both know he'll never be a #1 guy (even in a injury plagued year to the WR core), trying to decide if Brees would target him that much again on Sunday.

I'm sure its just because its my own team so I'm thinking way too much about it, but I'm really struggling on who I think will be targeted more between those 2 tomorrow.

Steve Smith, Santana Moss, or Dwayne Bowe.

I gotta pick 2 out of the 3 ><

I really hate Smith vs the Packers.

Save face and get rid of Bowe while you might get something of value for him. Until than....sit him, Chiefs won't even get 200 yards of offence on Sunday. They're a complete disaster this year, like Oilers bad if not worse.

I've gone back and forth all week between Julio Jones vs PHI and Steve Smith vs GB. Right now, I think Julio is the way to go. Cam Newtown had a great first game, but that was against a pretty brutal Arizona defense. Now he's going up against the SB Champs. my decision would be a lot easier if the Packers didn't give up a lot last week though. Yes, that was against NO, but still.

Julio or Steve, Steve or Julio. I'm still efn torn.

Sproles killed it against the Packers last week, but im not sure if he does it against Chicago too...

trying to decide if my flex option should be Darren Sproles against the Bears or James Starks against the Panthers...

Im thinking the bears may hold Sproles to alot less then he had last week, especially since they know what to expect from him, while Green Bay may get up by so many against the Panthers that Starks may get alot of touches to give Grant a break. Thoughts?

kermitology · 09-18-2011, 08:28 AM

Tough call Philly dominated the rams. Bradford had very little time, but when he did get throws off his receivers dropped everything in sight.

Meanwhile, I don't think anyone was impressed by GB defense, but as you said.. It was NO.

Flip a coin. You'll probably make the wrong choice.

I haven't followed the Pack enough this year to know what the balance of touches are between Starks & Grant for this next game, but if its a PPR league I'd go Sproles easily. First off he's gonna get you KR/PR points, and on top of that, I was surprised how much the Saints used Sproles in their offence. I knew he'd take over Reggie's role, but I didn't think to that level, Brees looks his way a lot when he gets in trouble. No question he's the Saints highest point producer fantasy-wise in their backfield.

That said, if its not PPR its a different story, and I noticed from last week Starks seems to be the Pack's goal line back so you may get a major or 2 out of him (though I notice A-Rodg likes to go to the air a lot even when up against the goal line). Personally I'd go Sproles, seems like less of a gamble.

Looking for some last-minute fantasy advice thanks to a last minute "Questionable" designation to Hakeem Nicks. He's got a great matchup against a depleted Ram secondary on Monday night. But he's questionable and sounded limited in practice, I'm wondering if I should just start Stevie Johnson against Oakland, who's coming off a big week 1. Tough call...

Man I hate these MNF games for fantasy. If I wait on Nicks, by the time he's declared out (if it happens), I have no-one else to throw in there by then.

Hockey · 09-18-2011, 11:02 AM

I'm hoping I made the right call by dressing Lance Moore and benching Julio Jones.

Sainters7 · 09-18-2011, 02:30 PM

Stevie Johnson 8rec, 96yds & a TD, you hear that Nicks? I put my faith in you, don't let me down! See ya Monday buddy, I hope..

And hope you started Sproles, he was a machine today. But I'm sure you saw all that

Sylvanfan · 09-18-2011, 02:41 PM

I put Nicks on my bench in favor of Malcolm Floyd thinking the Chargers will have to throw 45 times today. Malcolm looks like he came to play.

And now he's injured. Nice.

Cheerio · 09-18-2011, 02:56 PM

WTF happened to Plaxico Burress? I played him because Colston is out, and you had a good game last week and then you go and get me 0 points?

Hockey · 09-18-2011, 03:04 PM

Mike Williams had 1 catch for -4 yards. That one hurt

DropIt · 09-18-2011, 03:09 PM

Flacco could very well screw me this week. Dont know how the Ravens can walk all over the Steelers and then get owned by the effing Titans. Disgraceful!

My week comes down to VJackson and Ahmad Bradshaw +35 points vs Matt Ryan, Lesean Mccoy, Mike Sims Walker and Frank Gore
