    McFadden or Ridley? CRITICAL WEEK

    last week before play offs start, i am now 7-5 after being 7-2. injuries have killed me.


    i have a plethora of backs. Forte, Moreno, McFadden, Ridley and DeAngelo Williams.

    hurting at the WR position bad with Percy Harvin going down. starting Andre Roberts in his place. he had a big week last week but not reliabe.


    guys available on waivers, Greg Little, Kendall Wright, Moss, Jeffrey. that is all that I can think about worth mentioning?

    jarius wright available? hes harvins replacement...could do ok...is pierre garcon, brandon stokley, or julian edelman available? all are better starts than the collection you have, IMO. also, i would definitely start ridley over mcfadden...mcfadden is going to share carries with marcel reece and they will "ease him back"....what is your current lineup?

    Peyton Manning
    Malcom Floyd
    Julio Jones
    Kendall Wright
    Matt Forte
    Stevan Ridley
    Knowshown Moreno
    Aaron Hernandez

    Texans D

    Pettigrew, Roberts, Harvin (hurt) McFadden (hurt) and DeAngelo Williams on bench.

    I think Stokely is available from the names you listed thats about it.

    Try to pick up Broyles, Garcon, Gordon, Edelman, Crabtree, Hilton, Lafell,

    Lloyd, Givens or Avery some of these guys should be available.

    nevermind. he's gone too. this league is deep.

    seriously these are the available receivers.

    Greg Little
    Randy Moss
    Jon Baldwin
    Brian Quick
    Jerome Simpson
    Michael Floyd
    Rueben Randle
    Stephen Hill
    Joshua Morgan
    OgleTree
    Kevin Walter
    Donald JOnes
    Dexter McCluster

    lol all scrubs. guessing Kendall Wright is the best decision out of all of them. considering he got 8 targets last week and texans give up the 3rd most fantasy points to WR.

    now the question is do i start McFadden over Forte or Moreno

    I would personally wait and see with McFadden before starting him, Reece has done a good job in his absence.

    Moreno probably gets to most work this week, Forte is nursing an injury too.

    yes but who is the odd man out. obviously starting Ridley and Knowshown. do i start McFadden or Forte or DeAngelo Williams in the flex.

    Jonathan Stewart got hurt last game and Williams is start. Chiefs LB just killed himself....now idea how Chiefs heads will be in game...but who knows if Williams will get enough touches.

    out of those three i pick forte, he supposedly looks good in practice and has been sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber....plus, the bears will have a hard time throwing against the tough seattle corners and should use a rushing attack. good luck with whatever you decide

    Those WRs aren't too attractive that are left.

    I like Ridley and Moreno from the RBs you have mentioned in earlier posts.

    Start either choice over McFadden. Until he can stay on field for 4 straight quarters he should be touched less than a salad at tt's house.

    I am starting Ridley and Moreno that is a given.

    i just have to decide to who to start in the flex. McFadden, Forte, are DeAngelo Williams.

    for some reason my gut is tellng me DeAngelo Williams even tho he is the worst option out of them. I really think both Forte and McFaddens touches are going to be really limited this week considering how much success their back ups are having.

    Jonathan Stewart is listed as doubtful so Williams will get double the touches McFadden and Forte will

    McFadden isn't even expected to play, so why do you keep talking about him?

    he was questionable until about 40 minutes ago when they ruled him out.

    I'd play Ridley next week over McFadden. Out for awhile with the injury and wasn't great before it.
