Sometimes you need help. This is the place.


I start things off. Fred Jackson vs nyj or frank gore vs Ind for the flex

they will unlock him, wayne out for season now too

peyton manning not being charged with losing that fumble because technically it wasnt recovered in bounds. horseshit... hope no one loses to a manning team by 2 because of that

It's an OK trade, I don't love it, Stafford is the #2 QB in standard leagues and Gore and RG3 have a little bit of an injury history. That said, Gore is a solid RB, and one of the few that's not in a committee, so if it's a clear upgrade at RB that will improve your roster go for it.

I drafted Doug Martin, I refused to trade him thinking he was gonna have a comeback. He's injured and out for the season..... don't do what I did

Do not play Bowe. He's gonna get Joe Haden all day versus the Browns. Jags are gonna throw a lot which is good but Ellington is going against the less than stellar Falcon's D. So if you want to bet on Henne getting some points in garbage time and you don't want to miss out on the ones that don't go to Blackmon you play Shorts but if you want to play someone with a decent upside play Ellington.


Or you could go with my SLEEPER/WAIVER WIRE PICK OF THE WEEK before all the fantasy gurus tell you to go pick him up. Kris Durham has now taken the No. 2 receiver spot for the Lions behind Megatron. Stafford is playing well and Durham has gotten at least 8 targets in the last 3 games including one game where he was targeted 13 times. Detroit goes to Dallas who has not been great against the pass. He's on my team and if you're looking for a flex you could definitely do worse than the No. 2 guy in a pass happy offense where the No. 1 guy is going to get a lot of attention from the defense. Get this guy before he's gone if you're in need of a receiver

the only players on my bench id think about dropping for durham are bowe or ellington and i think burelson is back week 10. and i always feel bad starting too many players from one team if they totally tank. iv got bush and stafford starting which is a no brainer really. but i dont really have any better options and stafford has been great all year.... huhhhh he is still on the waiver and i think i will pick him up and drop ellington.

Even with Burleson coming back I like this Durham kid. He's bigger than Megatron and I wouldn't be surprised if they bump Burleson to slot duties and keep Durham as the other outside threat

Starks is coming back. Lacy is expected to remain the number one guy but will receive less touches. I would not take that deal

id sell cameron high. gronk is in a better offense even with brady not being himself. i would start gronk over cameron every week if i had them both on my team. so if he isnt getting use might as well sell high for a good rb or whatever you need

Yeah, I am in a league with a flex option where I can throw in a qb,rb,te,or wr. Last week I played Cameron and Gronk. This week I'm rode with Glennon on flex and he struggled to get the 17 pts he did. Trying to sell Cameron for a descent WR.

oh i thought you were in a standard league. still i personally like rb over any other positions especially in a run first offense. wrs/te are such finicky positions

So with 10 minutes left in the third I must apologize to anyone who picked up Kris Durham. I think he has 2 targets today. That was a bad call. Barring a touchdown or a 10 catches in what's left of this game he's putting up less than a point

Now however there is another player I picked up but didn't talk about because I didn't think he would have much of a role in the offense until at least next week. Fozzy Whittaker the 3rd string RB for the Browns who they picked up last week scored a touchdown and has 8 points so far. Would I have picked him up in the situation he's in if his name wasn't so awesome? Probably not. But I did, it paid off, anyone with space to spare on their roster might want to look at him. We don't know how McGahee's knee will hold up and Fozzy is overtaking Ogbannaya as the 2nd string back as well as returning kicks. Fozzy is my new man

I dropped Andre Ellington to pick up mjd... Although mjd did get me 11 but Ellington went off. I stupidly didn't think to check if Mendenhall was out. I'm up by 14 and my opponent has lynch. I'm shitting myself.

Picked up Ellington a couple weeks ago and finally played him. He had a hell of a game. Too bad the rest of my team was terrible. Oh well.

I'm down by 10...189-199 he has no one left to go and I have heuscha(sp?) Seattle's kicker to go. He's projected at 12 but as a kicker that could be anywhere
I best start praying now.

I need 13.5 out of Zac Stacy to win. I'm worried. On one hand he's going to get a lot of touches. On the other hand Seattle could easily put 8 in the box and force Clemens to beat them

Depending on how many people are in your league I'd drop Bengals' D or Bowe.

Who to start, Garcon or Hilton?

And at flex, Keenan Allen, Lamar Miller, or Dexter McCluster.

Hands down Allen at the flex. I'm leaning towards Garcon because Houston's D is better than San Diego's.
