I don't think there is a more frustrating player in fantasy football this year than Larry Fitzgerald.

Maybe my luck is changing.

Cedric Benson goes down, but now Ricky Williams is supposed to get more carries and LeSean McCoy will get a lot more carries.

LMAO! The idiot I'm playing this week decided to start Fred Jackson and Matt Forte instead of Ricky Williams (we play with 2 RBs and 1 RB/WR slot - Peterson is always in one of his RB slots). Now he can feel the wrath of my MJD/Chris Johnson/DeSean Jackson combo.

Damn, I'm down 30 points to Ricky Williams.

Thankfully, I as well am rocking the MJD-Chris Johnson combo and will soon run amok over his CFL regect.

In a league with 0.5 pts per reception, 1 pt per 10 yards and 3 pt bonus at 100 yards... Who would you pick this week.

Moreno home to SD
Maroney home to the Jets
Hester home to PHI
Maclin road in CHI
Fred Jackson on the road vs Jac

I need to start 2 of these guys, 1 of them has to be a RB. The other can be a RB or WR.

Right now I'm leaning to Moreno-Maroney starting but I'm not sure!

Either that or Moreno/Maclin.

Buckhalter didn't didn't practise much this week and Moreno has been getting the bulk of the carries for a few games now. San Diego's defense, especially up th e middle, is awful.

The Eagles will move the ball up and down the field at will on Chicago. You never know what Belichick is going to do with Maroney.

Romo or Schaub?

Which would then have me starting either Austin or Johnson.

just have a feeling the 'Boys are gonna explode today after that thrashing they took from the Pack last week.

Normally this would never be a question but my two quarterbacks are Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford. Who should I start? Matt Ryan has been struggling for a few weeks now and he is starting against a Giants D that just came back from a Bye and Matthew Stafford is playing against the Browns. I'm leaning towards the Stafford, what does everyone else think?

Stafford. It is too logical to not do it. 8/10 times I think Stafford puts up better numbers then Ryan in this situation. I think you'll kick yourself if you don't do it even tho it's hard to have any faith in the Lions.

What about this one- Bernard Scott vs Oakland or Marion Barber vs Washington? I'm leaning towards Scott but am nervous about it either way.

Barber...the Skins pass D is great but there rush D is average at best without Haynesworth.

on top of that Larry Johnson will get some carries for Cincy, whuch takes away from Scotts possible totals...though he has been lights out on kick returns.

And i agree about Stafford...that brown D is pathetic.

I have a question for you fantasy folk. Say you had Jamaal Charles as one of your RB's because say you had Westbrook and needed to hit the waiver wire. Does the return Touch Down he scored get you the 6 points, or do you only get points for rushing and receiving touch downs?

Depends on how your league scoring is set up. It usually would count, IMO as most leagues I've been in count return TD's for the player and the defense/ST.

I need Chris Johnson to put up 50 total yards and a TD tonight to win.

Ugh, I should've traded Eli while I had the chance. At least I have Tom Brady. Still though, Lil Manning had some pretty nice trade value last month, and I'm weak at WR. Now, not so much...

I sat Moreno down tonight to ensure a Broncos victory. Jonathan Stewart better get in the end zone Sunday. I should've sat Royal as well...he got hurt.

So about 20 points from Brady would've netted me a win, but he ends up getting me only 1.92 and effectively knocks me out of the play-offs in the CP B league. But I could care less, because 2 points from Brady just means the Saints kicked him in the teeth all night. WHO DAT baby!!!!

btw FML in my '09 fantasy season for 90% of my leagues...
