Got a decision to make this week of who to play? Give me your options and I'll give you who I would play and by reasons behind it.

Who do I pickup: Matt Leinart, Rex Grossman,Tavaris Jackson,Josh Freeman,Colt McCoy, Andy Dalton, Sam Bradford, John Skelton,Caleb Hainie, Christian Ponder?
Looking for a waiver wire pickup.Comment -
I would go with Freeman here. The Bucs who have to win out at a shot at the playoffs finally got their offense clicking last week. Look for the Bucs to let Freeman air it out especially with the run threat of healthy again Legarette Blount. Bucs face a week pass offense in the titans this week who have gave up 11 passing tds in the last 6 weeks. Also the bucs play the panthers twice in the next 5 weeks who are coming off giving up 5 tds to Matt Stafford.Originally posted by darrell74Comment -
Sleeper Donald Brown from Indy....Carolina can't stop anyone and Brown is a 1st round pick that is trying to shake the bust label. DB goes for 125 and 1-2 TDs imoComment -
Who do I start at rb, Steven Jackson , demarco Murray, Blount , Ryan grant . I can play 2...Comment -
Murray/Blount no brainerComment -
Hmm I was thinking Murray / grant, bc Starks is out and he ll get most of the work now.., Blount isn't involved in passing situations which I don't like ..Originally posted by Mr HandicapableComment -
Steven Jackson is a lock he's going up against the cardinals who are playing their 3rd straight road game, even with a below average offensive line Jackson is going to have a big day like he did earlier in the season against Arizona with 130 yds. Blount is my second choice. Titans are rumored as the worst tackling team in the NFL which is perfect for the bulldozer Bount. Also he's gonna be fired up playing the team that signed him out of college then released him before the season started.Comment -

Murray is facing a very strong run defense in Miami. They have only allowed an average of 48 rush yds the past 4 games and havent allowed a rushing td since week 4. Murray is a sit thats a no brainer.
Grant is a risk in the short yardage the pack give it to Kuhn everytime for the 1 yd TD's. Which means you got to hope Rodgers dumps one off to him somehow to get a td with all his options I dont like those odds.Comment -
Gerhart, Ryan Grant or DeAngelo Williams. Need some advice on who to go with. I'm leaning Williams at this point.Comment -
Pick up CJ Spiller. Also Kevin Smith, but he is probably gone.Comment -
Both gone. I'm in first and can't ever pick up who I want.Comment -
I would go Williams, even though I don't like Panther RB's. But Gerhart isn't even close to AP, and Grant isn't much and can't close like Starks. Even with Starks possible out, Grant doesn't have value to me.Originally posted by RevenueComment -
Grant is my choice here. Theres a 50/50 chance I'd say the pack-lions game is going to be a 34-31 45-38 type shootout. Plagued with injuries since last year this is his chance to win back the starting role from Starks. I'm playing Grant over Demarco Murray in my league, he's got potential for a big day.Originally posted by RevenueComment -
ok so i need to win one more game to get a playoff birth, any help is greatly appreciated...
i have a rb spot, two flex spots and two wr and decided to start Blount, Marshall, Branch, Gaffney, and Little. while sitting stevie johnson, daniel thomas, david nelson, harry douglas, and andre caldwell. Im in a deep league, dealt with some injuries at RB but have the league MVP Rodgers leading me every week and sCam Newton as my backup, i just noticed carolina plays indy so this is the only week i have considered starting sCam over Rodger, im a packers fan and TV game i have to go with rodgers. I am hesitant to play anyone from buffalo after seeing fitzpatrick shit the bed the past few weeks. but if you would give me any insight I would greatly appreciate it. i lost to the worst team in the league last week bc of the miami/buffalo game and i started thomas over blount which was dumb. sorry its a lot, i understand if you dont want to go through all that. happy thanksgiving!
i am going to add i really like jabar gaffney ever since grossman has taken reigns in washington and i have only started greg little once but i think he connects for his first TD this week after becoming colt's favorite target. thanks againComment -

Grant never lost the starting job, he is the current starter. Starks is the better RB, plain and simple. That is why he gets more touches and closes the games for the Packers. Starks hasn't been ruled out yet.
Grant over Murray? Good luck with that.Comment -

Well the good thing about this one is we'll know who's right in about 12 hours. check back with you then...

Alright man, I like Blount and Marshall gotta play those two guys. Even with Santana Moss back this week your right Grossman looks at Gaffney a lot, a little florida gator connection. And Seattle is a team who can shit the bed and give up 30 pts, who knows with them play Gaffney. Greg Little I don't like its the browns there good for maybe 1 td against a strong cincy defense. I think you've got a way better option in Harry Douglas, Julio Jones even if he plays will be limited and Douglas has been targeted 18 times in the past 2 games. Plus minny is in the bottome 5 of the league in pass defense. Lastly I'd go with Daniel thomas over Deion Branch. Branch is banged up with a bad hammy and has become the 3rd 4th option especially in the red zone for Tom Brady anyways. With Reggie Bush hot the past couple weeks Dallas is going to focus on shutting him down. Thomas will get his 10-15 carries and I'm projecting him for a 2 TD day, with a couple short yardage plunges.Originally posted by las8Comment -
welker , robinson, cruz at wr , i can start 2. welker is a given, but do i start robinson today or cruz on sunday? leaning cruzComment -
Oh yeah go with Welker and CruzOriginally posted by gti175
. I've got Welker on my team as well, with two bad weeks in a row I look for him to have a big day. Cruz has become a top 5 fantasy wide out the second half of this season and has big potential in a potential shootout against New Orleans. Robinson has been solid lately but Miami defense is just too strong to take any chance on him. The most points they have gave up since week 1 is 17.

I am pretty certain on my other positions and most of them play on Sunday, but am having a hard time deciding on my qb and Wr2 position with the short week and I have to leave to stuff my face here shortly.
Romo or Stafford
B Marshall, Andre Johnson, AJ Green, or Witten
...I am leaning away from Green and Johnson with Green's injury and Johnson coming back and having a new qb and Hou probably wanting to run the ball this week.Comment -

LOVE..LOOOVE!! Matt Stafford this week play him over Romo who is going against a very good defense.
Don't like Witten because of the Miami D same with A.J. Green who is gonna be matched up against Joe Haden. Andre Johnson is a risk because of his QB but Leinart could be a plus for A Johnson owners because leinart will lean on him and throw to him any chance he gets. But playing Jax I look for that to be pretty low scoring so I would play Marshall. Phins are clicking and Marshall puts them on his back week in and week out. If Miami is gonna win Marshall has to get involved he'll be targeted 10-15 times and I like the odds of him finding the endzone.Comment -
just now got back home
went with Romo and Marshall
Stafford didn't do much so hopefully it was the right move. Romo not doing too much either though...Comment -
Stafford ended up with a good fantasy day.Originally posted by balls2wallComment -
How did Grant do for you?Originally posted by Mr.UshuldBETonITWell the good thing about this one is we'll know who's right in about 12 hours. check back with you then...

thanks man, i appreciate your insight. Marshall is looking solid and with Rodgers and green bay D I am already projected to double my opponent's score. The only thing I didnt follow you on was Daniel Thomas. I havent been impressed with him and he never gets as many touches as he should, so far he is having an average day for him. ill be upset if he goes off this fourth quarter, but I went with a WR over the big RB bc its a PPR league. So now i just have to decide between Little and Branch. I am glad you told me that Cleveland was playing Cincy because I failed to realize that and its a good thing because I have been impressed with Cincy's D this year. Im going to defiantly go with Douglas now, I was planning on waiting on Jones's exact status but Minny is real bad at pass D. Thanks again Mister and good luck to you this week.Originally posted by Mr.UshuldBETonITComment -
yea about a 7 point difference good call on looker. Thought felix jones was gonna get in the game more and james starks less.Originally posted by onlookerHow did Grant do for you?Comment -
Gotta start two
Santana Moss, Jabar Gaffney, Stevie Johnson, Greg Little or Roy Helu
no pprComment -
i really don't like any of those guys but I'd stay away from any redskin as much as I can. so go with johnson and little.Originally posted by TehSharpComment -
Stevie is going to be on Revis Island and he has been terrible. I don't think I can start himOriginally posted by Mr.UshuldBETonITComment -
Just busting your balls.Originally posted by Mr.UshuldBETonIT
It has been said, even when Felix gets back to full strength, that Murray will still get the most work.
After the Packers got up decent yesterday, Starks didn't go in much. It was Grant and that rookie getting the time share. Which is good, it gave Starks that much more time to heal up.Comment -
Plus Fitzpatrick has been struggling. Shouldn't be much easier for him this weekend. Should be a lot of check downs to CJ Spiller. Well I hope so, I picked him up and have to start him this week.Originally posted by TehSharp

ok, pulled out a W and clinched a playoff spot. called that Greg Little TD but this week im in a dilemma. right now i have blount marshall gaffney branch and stevie J. the only person I would want to sub in is david nelso but for who, thats the problem. marshall is no a no brainer, branch vs. the worst pass D, stevie J coming off a big game but could have been HUGE, and gaffney most likely no matchup against revis so thats why i like him in that spot. three weeks in a row the jets have given up a TD to 2wr. but nelson... i have not seen the titans play this year so i dont know how finnegan is playing, who would most likely match up against johnson. fitz loves nelson in the slot and he has been his security blanket. the other irrelevant people on my bench are daniel thomas, greg little, and harry douglas. those all look like they should be riding the bench this week but if you have any inside info that would be nice. also i just picked up dallas clark cause ed dickson has been slacking lately. thanks again and good luck to you this week
