I go with Witten, especially if it is a PPR league. He may not get the score but with Dez Bryant potentially out and the fact Witten sees 8-10 passes per game as it is... He could have a good week, even if it is only yards

Kapernick vs the Pats or Rothlisberger vs the Cowboys.

Ben always steps up in games that they need him in and Kaepernick has been underwhelming the last few weeks minus one big run last week.

However I figure Kaepernick will have plenty of opportunities to throw the ball.

The Pats have been playing much better D lately...I'd take Big Ben

I have two dilemma's

Dez Bryant or Torrey Smith
Michael Turner or Ryan Mathews

Dez if he plays, steelers secondary is awful

Turner no brainer, matthews is way to unpredictable.

Yeah the Steelers secondary is brutal that's why they are #1 in passing D

They are banged up a bit though...and somehow the Cowboys always screw me over...but Dez is finally playing like a stud...and you always play your studs

Mathews got 25 touches last week....and you got to think he is going to get more than 1 touchdown in a season.

[Cheerio]

All Bowe owners can drop him as he has been placed on the IR, bench RG3 this week as Kirk Cousins is getting the start against Cleveland.

[Drake]

Quick need a last decision to make here,

Torrey Smith vs. Denver (likely lining up against Champ Baliey)

Pierre Garcon @ Cleveland (without Robert Griffin III and likely lining up against Joe Haden)

My gut says go with Torrey Smith. Thoughts?

[TitovFTW]

Rodgers having just a brutal fantasy game and you could see it coming from miles away.

Edit: Wow 2 TD's just like that and he's had a great 1st half

[Cheerio]

This is going to be really embarrassing if I lose to Girly's In-Box who is starting 3 inactives

[Sylvanfan]

Belch, benched James Jones today, played Detroit defence....going to lose by 2 points. Looks like I'll make the finals in one of my 3 leagues, oddly enough with the worst of my three teams.

I'm going to lose to someone who started RG3, Bowe, and Harvin because I started Freeman and Detroit D instead of Newton and Arizona D

[Hockey]

I'm going to the finals in one of my leagues because the other guy started Freeman over Romo.

Oh man, benching Newton with the roll he was on...ouch...but I suspect Freeman and Doug Martin have a lot of owners in a state of remorse. The sad thing for me is in week 9 I was offered Matt Forte and Hernandez for Gronkowski, and Leshoure and said no way....had I made that deal I win my matchup easy. More salt for me...three weeks ago I dumped Janikowski for Tynes...swap those two today and I'd have won. I just killed myself, with that team, it will eat at me for life.

[icarus]

Well I've lost my chance at an A league championship (unless Kenny Britt can get 22+ points, which is not going to happen). I might have been in with a chance had the SF D not given up 28 points at the end of their game, it was looking like I'd get a surprisingly good score from them. I also got let down in a big way by Doug Martin and Demaryius Thomas.

[Hockeyguy15]

Had a great week from P. Manning, Cruz, and Wayne...So much for winning this week.

[Sainters7]

Was one of those "what could've been" weekends for me. Made the semis in both my other leagues, lost em both but outscored both teams in the other semi in both leagues, that's always a kick in the pants.

And in the B league, I just put up the highest score of the week (before MNF anyway)...too bad I'm already in the consolation round haha. Ugh... At least that win ensures me a ticket back to B league pastures next year.

Benching Mathews just before kickoff saved my season.

If you want to see pathetic look at my matchup against Girly in the semi, the following players were started and got less than 7 points: Freeman, Jordon, Rice, Martin, Daniels, Detroit D, RG3, Harvin, D Thomas, and Bowe

I hate Matthews...my one season turned around when I got the stench of him off my team. The guy I traded him too, went on to fail miserably as well after that.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

I played Torry Smith and Ryan Mathews (instead of Dez and Turner)....thank God I was playing a guy with Stafford and a bunch of NYG
