I don't like either of those.
Ravens D isn't as good as it was - even thought they beat SD, Rivers torched them and I'm sure Brady will try to do the same.
Colts D and their "bend but don't break" philosophy paired with their injuries make them a very risk play, too.
I'd probably go Ravens and hope they can make Brady antsy in the pocket, but if Brady gets into a rhythm you might be screwed.
Edit: I forgot about Wallace, but I'd probably still go with the Ravens. It still is pretty much a coin flip.

I'd take the Colts too. Manning has looked really good the last two weeks and the Seahawks still have some key guys out in their secondary. So I think that will allow the Colts to put up points early and force the Seahawks to throw the ball to catch up. Walter Jones IIRC is still out and their starting center is too. So with a backup QB there could be a chance for a few turn overs and pick 6's.

How the heck did you end up with both of those QB's? Are you in a two team league?

My fantasy team is spiraling out of contention with injuries. I lose Anthony Gonzalaz, who I let go today, in week 1. Gore is out now for a month, Felix Jones is hurt, Smith with the Lions is hurt, Dewayne Bowe is hurt. I had McCoy from the Eagles, but had to drop him because he has a bye this week and I needed the roster space. Tony Gonzalaz has a bye this week. Things are not looking good for me.

Load up on as many guys with a bye as you can.
If you know you are going to bomb this week, might just as well get as many lost games out of the way as possible.
And Coffee is going to get all Gore's carries. Michael Robinson is going to give him the occasional break. They aren't going to call up Sheets because he isn't good enough in pss protection yet and he wouldn't get enough play to make it worth the Niners cutting someone else to make space.

I'm starting Coffee and Moreno this week. It might not be that bad, still isn't what I had envisioned on draft day. My starting receivers are a bunch of undrafted FA agents off of waivers. I blew a pick on Crabtree hoping he would be playing by now. When he does finally play he better be lights out.

My team is riddled with injuries...had both Hasslebeck + Pennington go down, along with Welker and Barber (last week) .
Pulled off this trade today, I get Flacco + Jamaal Charles for McCoy + Hasselbeck...pretty decent trade and I get a potential young stud QB.

Who do I starts at RB?
I can start 4.
I have:
Tomlinson @ Pitt
Sproles @ Pitt
Coffee v STL
R Williams v Buff
C Benson @ Cle
R Grant @ Minn
(I also have McCoy who is on his bye)
I'm going to sit Grant against Minn, but then who? LT looking like he is ready to play makes it kind of tricky.

I'd go with Coffee + Benson. SF will pound the ball against STL and Benson has been solid all year. PITT has a great D and LT is banged up.

Did you trade with a Seahawks fan or something? That's a ridiculously one-sided trade.

I'd sit Tomilinson and Grant. Grant for obvious reasons, but LT is still banged up and a few hard hits from that Pittsburgh defense and he should leave the game.
Sproles will be much more effective against Pittsburgh. And SF/CIN will be pounding the ball against very very bad defenses.

Haha, nope, he's in love with McCoy. I love that guy as well. He's going to be a solid RB I think. Charles could be decent in KC if LJ gets hurt, but he's just depth for me right now (have Barber + CJ).
I love Flacco and the new Off. Coord in BAL. Really opened it up in teh passing attack. Although I'm hoping they can keep the ground game going with McGahee + Rice to keep it up.

So I have both Rivers and Brees in my 6 team league, and they both happen to be going into a bye week. So I check out the waiver wire and get Roethlisberger against the Lions this week. Nice.
I love that the pot for this league is $300, I'm undefeated, and I won the closest game I've been in by 22 points.

I finally had a breakout game this week, thank in large part to Antonio Gates, Eli Manning, and my first star of the week - Darren Sharper (5 solo tackles, 3 assists, 2 passes defended, 2 INT, 1TD)
Sharper is the #2 Defensive player in the league behind Patrick Willis.
That only makes me 2-2, but as long as I'm in the playoffs (top 8 make it - 14 team league) I think I can do some damage.

How many people went out and picked up Crabtree? I drafted him in a keeper league, so I'm hoping he turns into something special. I really need help at WR.

In a keeper league you got nothing to lose, good pick-up. In standard format leagues I don't think there's too much to get excited about though, at least not for the next few weeks. Traditionally rookie WR's don't do much, not to mention ones who missed all of TC and the first month of the season.
...but I'm not hurting for WR's. I'm still kicking myself for grabbing Mario Manningham in FA over Steve Smith(NYG) when both were available though.
