Cedric benson and manning cost me this week.

How did the banana taste? Kidding of coarse. Good matchup and good luck to you next week.

But really if you look at your decision to start Benson over Spiller it was the obvious call at the time otherwise those 4 points Benson missed his projection by wouldn't of changed a thing. As far as Eli goes..well I feel for you there.

I thought I was dead this week in the CP league heading into tonights games. Now I hold the lead over Moon and he has Heyward-Bey and I have Floyd.

How was that the obvious call? It was said that Spiller would be getting way more touches this year regardless of Jackson's health............Benson was starting against the best run defense in footaball. Tough call, but sure not obvious to start Benson who plays on a pass first team and he's not a top RB to begin with.

The recap thing on Yahoo is cool.

Would you make this trade: I have Kevin Smith and Antonio Gates for Gronk and Joe Flacco.

My other starter at QB is Rivers and my RBs are McFadden, Mathews, Benson, and Alfred Morris.

[Hockeyguy15]

The good news about losing this week is I now get 3rd on the waiver wire. I need help at RB and Alfred Morris and Reggie Bush are both available.

Pending they both go to #1 and 2 I can pick up either Cobb or Ogletree. Right now I have my waiver priority set up as Morris, Bush, Ogletree. Thoughts?

Edit: Changed my mind, new priority is Bush, Morris, Ogletree.

Pretty tough one, it's a pretty even trade. I think you have to go with your gut on this one.

I myself am not sure I would take it. Mathews, McFadden and Smith can all be band-aids, Morris you have to worry about Shanahanigans, and Benson looked horrible.

I like it. I think that Smith is the ultimate sell high right now. Leshoure comes back in week 3 and will most likely be splitting carries with Smith at which point Smith takes a big hit. I'm a big fan of Gates but Gronkowski is the superior talent there. The Ravens are moving to a more pass-orientd offense and Flacco would be a good #2QB. Your RB's are good albeit a little injury prone but you have the depth to move Smith. Rivers is up in the air right now so it'd be a good idea to have a decent backup.

Didn't even notice that until I read your post & went back and checked, haha that is pretty cool actually. Can see it getting repetitive after awhile, but neat idea.

[Drake]

Should I pick up Brandon LaFell or Alshon Jeffery for some bench depth at wideout as I'm good with my starters, paper thin on the bench though?

[Sidney Crosby's Hat]

I just got offered Welker (NE) and Olsen (CAR) for Thomas (DEN) and Fleener (IND). Take it and run?

[SportsJunky]

Welker got just a few targets last week and was on the field for fewer snaps than we are used to seeing from him. He will still be a nice WR1 by the end of the year but Gronk, Hernandez and Lloyd will get a ton of targets this year. I'd like him on my team but I'm not sure he is the homerun that I thought he'd be.

[Cheerio]

Adam Schefter reporting that Greg Jennings is unlikely to play Thursday due to a groin injury. Now who do I play as my 2 WRs? Boldin against the Eagles, Nicks against the Bucs, and Austin against the Seahawks?

[SportsJunky]

I'd say Nicks is a given with Austin and Boldin being a toss up. I'd go Austin probably just because I don't trust Flacco.

[Sainters7]

Agreed, those would be my picks too. Who do you guys like for D this week, the Jets at Pittsburgh, or Seahawks at home to Dallas?

EDIT: And I wish Yahoo would hurry up and recognize Fred Jackson's injury so I can use my damn IR spot on my roster..

[Pagal4321]

I'm hurting at RB this week, in a PPR league, do I start Michael Bush or Dexter McCluster?

PPR should be McCluster. All preseason and last week he's getting the most targets for KC.

[Sainters7]

Ya I just picked up McCluster in one of my PPR leagues after Fred Jackson went down, I'm expecting good things. I would definitely go him over Bush in that league format.
