Rainey's seven catches actually made him a pretty good flex play in my PPR league. I made quite a nice little waiver wire pick-up and flip this week I think. My QBs after the RG3 injury were Jake Locker and Geno Smith. I already had Ryan Mathews and picked up Donald Brown off of waivers. Flipped those two and Reggie Wayne for Rivers, Khiry Robinson, and Gerhart. Gerhart sucks, but I'm going to flip him again for more WR help, especially if he has a good game this weekend and I can sell high.

EDIT: I also grabbed Rainey, Davante Adams, and Matt Asiata off of waivers this week. I'm not really sure what my friends are doing.

RB: Le'veon Bell, Matt Forte, C.J. Spiller, Ben Tate
WR: Jordy Nelson, Andre Johnson, A.J. Green, Michael Crabtree
TE: Julius Thomas, Antonio Gates
D/ST: Chiefs, Seahawks
K: Nick Novak, Dan Bailey

first week was clear win against a weak opponent ... second week was pretty ugly, but still managed a win thanks to Jordy Nelson.

Pretty good lineup but you might want to looks at only keeping one D and Kicker. Most of the time you can find one that you need on waivers. This would allow you to have a bit more depth at WR / RB with Tate being injured and Green doubtful this week.

Looking for some help in my keeper league for this week.

QB - Aaron Rodgers
RB - DeMarco Murray
RB - ?
WR - ?
WR - ?
TE - Zach Ertz
Flex - ?
Kicker - Steven Hauschka
Defence - Cincinnati Bengals

RB's - Eddie Lacy, Le'Veon Bell, Ahmad Bradshaw, Reggie Bush

WR - Wes Welker, Emmanual Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Eric Decker (questionable), DeAndre Hopkins (probable)


I would usually always put Bell in there, but he is going up against a tough D in Carolina.

Id usually always put Welker in there also, but its his first game of the year, so i'm not entirely sure.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Your WRs are really weak I'd stick with Bell, but if not then Lacy. Welker and Decker mayber? I don't know. I think you should really look at moving one of Lacy or Bell for WR help.

Lacy
Smith, Sanders
Bradshaw

What worries me about playing Bradshaw this week is that Jacksonville is number one against the run so far this year.

thats because its so easy to pass on them. remember that they got out to that 17-0 lead vs Philly, so the eagles abandoned thw run. Alfred Moreis went foe 85 yards (4.0avg) and 2 tds last week. Even Redd Jr and Helu Jr hit the double digits in rush yards.

in fact, the Skins had 4 running backs rush for 20 yards at least, 5 if you count RG3

Wow, my fantasy team sucks this week! My QBs are both horrible this morning. I started Manuel instead of Rodgers, which was the right move, but they both stink today. My only decent players are Zac Stacey and Hakeem Nicks (who is on my bench this week.)

My team seems to be pretty bipolar. Last week I had the highest score at 145 and this week I will be at the bottom and lucky to score 75 points.

Welcome to fantasy buddy!

1-0 in my first ever FF week!

Seems I had a pretty lucky week and put up like 130 points. It was nice to have an excuse to watch football all day!

With Big Ben sitting the rest of the game, that Benjamin TD catch just cost me my win this week. 156-155.

I need some trade advice. Its for my keeper league.

I would be trading Le'Veon Bell/Eddie Lacy/Emmanual Sanders for Julio Jones/Jamaal Charles/Doug Martin.

It would leave me with

QB - Aaron Rodgers
RB - DeMarco Murray/Jamaal Charles/Ahmad Bradshaw/Reggie Bush/Doug Martin
WR - Julio Jones/Steve Smith/DeAndre Hopkins/Wes Welker/Eric Decker/Larry Fitzgerald
TE - Zach Ertz
K - Cody Parkey
D - Chicago Bears

[Da_Chief]

The decision depends on who you think will be Payton's target moving forward, will it be Sanders or will he go back to Welker. I think he'll stick to Sanders as he's producing.

I also don't Charles is going to last the year, he's playing style won't allow him to stay healthy and Martin is already injured.

I think i'd stick with the three healthy guys, Lacy could breakout any game now the other two have been money so far.

[DOOM]

Considering my roster, would you do Bell for Jones straight up?

[Da_Chief]

Yeah, you have enough RB depth with Murray, Lacy, Bush...if your league doesnt have a flex spot that means one of bell/murray/lacy is on the bench so upgrading WR makes sense.

We have a flex spot, but yea, im considering it for sure.

Should I start Kaepernick at home to Philadelphia this week or Cousins (who I just snagged off waivers) tonight at home vs. the Giants?

I have Cousins starting as of right now, but the only thing I'm skeptical about is it being a Thursday night game. If I'm not mistaken, QB performances are generally weak on a short week?

Thoughts?!

[MillerTime GFG]

C'mon man!

[DropIt]

nyg is averaging 365 offensive yards, 225 pass yards/game against and 2 sacks/game

Philly is averaging 386 offensive yards against, 280 pass yards against and 1 sack.

Comes across pretty even, I think Philly's offense is so fast paced that Kaepernick may have the ball in his hands more than Cousins may, and they have the longer week and they aare looking to get their first win at home after blowing it last time.

I think I start Kaepernick, but i think it could be close either way
