How does this look for this week? I'm trying not to overreact but going with Smith and Gerhart last week nearly burned me. So for now I'm happy to let them ride the bench for at least a week. Edelman vs Wallace I'm not convinced on one way or the other. Pitta outscored Cameron 2-to-1, still feel Cameron is the smart pick for now.

Well, again, keep an eye on Cam's injury status though you're set if he's out. Don't the Chargers play Seattle this weekend? I wouldn't go near a single SD player and play either Wallace or Pitta(he had 15 targets) in the flex. If Gerhart is healthy by the weekend, he's a solid start against WASH, not a fan of Bush v. Carolina.

I'm thinking sit Hilton, the Colts offense spreads stuff around too much to anyone not named Wayne. Thoughts?

Might revisit this if Gordon actually gets reinstated, he's at the end of my bench.

I'm not a huge believer in Toby but you have to start him against the R-Words.

I'm inclined to go with Cooks over Bell. I don't think Bell was all that impressive against NYG even when the Lions had a sizable lead and I respect Carolina's run D much more.


Obama Yo Mama posted:

Tough decision but I'd probably go West and hope the game doesn't get out of hand. Cleveland has to run to stand a chance.

I feel like a rich man at the Wide Receiver position. It's shaping up to be a weekly dilemma, especially if the unbenchable Dez Bryant continues to look disinterested while being covered by defenders.

Start 2 WR and a WR/RB

Bryant @ TEN
R. White @ CIN
M. Floyd @ NYG

After last week I feel like I have to find a way to start Floyd against the Giants.

Ask Aaron Rodgers owners how they interact.

Seriously, I flat-out wouldn't start any skill player against Seattle if I had a halfway reasonable alternative. Like don't start Jeremy Hill over Ball or anything dumb like that, but if you have three good RBs and normally flex one, I'd bench Ball for a WR who will probably have a good week, like Justin Hunter.

Seattle is the real deal, folks. The two best QBs in the game just had back to back poo poo festivals against this team, and by "poo poo festival" I mean Richard Sherman's entire half of the field was targeted ONCE between the Super Bowl and TNF last week. That's insane.

Put him in over Streator. Never sit AP, and Hyde looks good against a Bears team that couldn't do a whole lot against Spiller/Jackson last week. West should get bulk of touches, which to me seems better than trusting an Oakland QB.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Should I pick up the Bucs defense in FA to replace the Bengals this week? The Bucs are going up against the Rams who have a terrible offense, but the Bucs couldn't stop Derek Anderson last week so I'm not sure if this is the right play.

In addition I am thinking of picking up Hurns, even though I have decent depth at WR. Hoping he continues to play well and I would then have some options for trading for a better RB. If I do pick up Hurns in FA, should I drop Carson Palmer (backup to Brady) or Cecil Shorts? I don't know if I want to give up on Cecil yet because his injury doesn't seem too serious but it is a little frightening to be carrying two JAC WR's on my team.

It's less of a Zac Stacy issue than a Ram Are Real Bad, And Jeff Fischer May Have Brain Damage? issue. Either way, I don't think starting Moreno while we wait and see on the Rams is a bad idea at all. Snowshoes looks pretty good and that team was effective against a solid Pats defense last week, so I could see them staying competitive against Buffalo no problem.
