they're being really secretive about it but it will most likely be ryan torrain.

hightowers shoulder is not very hurt and we should see him in on a lot of 3rd and not-shorts. he may even "start" aka get the first carry. im pretty sure RT will get the bulk and helu will get few looks also.

Yeah I I'm thinking Torain gets at least 15-18 carries. I hate how they are being so secretive about. I'm hoping they announce Hightower as inactive before the game, so I can start Torain with confidence. As of now, he is listed as questionable. My guess is he plays, but probably sees no more than 10 carries.

standard non ppr

my team:

eli manning/matt ryan
miles austin
maclin
holmes/sidney rice/decker/mike williams
jones drew
javid best/lynch/hardesty
tony gonzalez

was offered michael turner for miles austin...should i do it?

Just wanted to stop by and say kudos for the Jimmy Graham advice, TT. I was able to snag him late in several leagues and the dude has been a star.

ttwarrior1 · 10-17-11, 06:50 PM

i went 5-0 inmy leagues this weekend good week

graham will be no steal next year

ttwarrior1 · 10-18-11, 11:59 PM

all my damn wr's are on a bye except dez, should i trade beanie wells for s holmes in a ppr. I simply don't need beanie. He doesnt' catch, he's had some good games but not sure i trust him. At least holmes is good for 5 and 50 and td most of the time. Nobody else can catch on the jets.

I have mendy and chris johnson at rb and if needed i have hightower, ronnie brown, tolbert also

If i dont accept ill have to start antonio brown or torrey smith and not sure i want to do that.

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:00 AM

Ps: i think ronnie brown will actually do well . Best is out next game more than likely and one more concussion he is out for the year

Speedy88 · 10-19-11, 12:03 AM

DeMarco Murray vs STL or Torain @ CAR

Pick 2:
Darius Heyward-Bay vs KC
Steve Breaston @ OAK
Greg Little vs SEA

Yeah I know, it's ugly. I got Nicks and Stevie Johnson on bye, and then Fred Jackson on bye as well.

dudekid · 10-19-11, 12:12 AM

speedy im in the same boat

i am playing steve breaston as my WR3 this week...out of your three id probably say the same...heyward-bay is a toss up but now with the carson palmer situation who knows how that will work out...breaston's last 3 games he had 50 yards, 90 yards, and then 50 yards and 2 tds...id take those kind of numbers for a WR3

i have djax, lesean mccoy and ahmad bradshaw on byes this week...i have to pick an RB and a flex and my choices are:

pierre thomas
thomas jones
LT
daniel thomas

gotta start two of those guys ouch...tt what do you think?

if i were you i would make that trade...i know austin is good but turner is a workhorse back not involved in any handcuff...the falcons have a great offense, and although he has a slow start i have sidney rice too, he is a talented WR to have in there...if its not too late id make the trade and have MJD/turner and maclin/homes/rice

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:18 AM

little for sure, other is a tossup, breaston had a lucky week 2 weeks ago. carson won't be starting sunday so id go breaston unless another available

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:18 AM

d thomas

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:19 AM

id take that turner trade also, u need the rb and u got the wr's

Speedy88 · 10-19-11, 12:19 AM

Yeah my matchup this week is an ugly one. I'm in a 10 team league and both me and my opponent have a ton of bye's. This is what our matchup looks like going into this week:

My team:
QB: Romo
RB: Arian Foster, Steven Jackson, Torain OR Demarco Murray (Flex)
WR: Greg Little, DHB OR Breaston
TE: Daniels
K: Cundiff
DST: Saints OR Giants

Opponents Team:
QB: Cam
RB: Daniel Thomas, Pierre Thomas,
WR: Megatron, Dez Bryant, Doug Baldwin (Flex)
TE: Finley
K: Gould
DST: Ravens

There is a decent chance that both our DST's will score more than many of our other positions. First to 100 should win it. On a good note, I got Dez handcuffed with Romo. I like my chances, but it's ugly.

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:22 AM

id say murray, i think hightower might start again and helu as the backup

torain had his chance with the eagles last week

Was it really Torain's fault that he only got 2.2 fantasy points? Grossman killed 4 drives by throwing 4 picks. And all those picks led to the Eagles jumping out to a lead early. By the 2nd quarter, Skins were forced to throw the ball to catch up. That bad game by Torain was on Grossman, not Torain. And that Skins O-line is banged up. I know Trent Williams is out with an injury, and there other O-lineman who plays on the same side as Trent Williams.

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 12:29 AM

torain won't be starting, hightower will but sounds like u want torain so nothing i can tell u

No, I was just telling you that I thought Torain's poor performance last week was primarily due to Grossman and his 4 INT's. I'm actually heavily leaning towards DeMarco Murray.

Where have you got the info of Best being out? He still has a chance at starting this week, as long as he passes all test.

I don't think Brown will be the savior to Best. Hell, Brown may still be a 3rd or 4th string RB as a Lion. We will see. Maybe if he is still sitting there on FA after the waivers clear, I will pick him up. I just don't see Brown stepping in and producing much. I could be wrong though.

I'm picking up the Cowboys defense 1st, and then trying for Murray 2nd. To see if anyone is sleeping on waivers this week.

onlooker · 10-19-11, 01:31 AM

With LeSean McCoy on BYE this week, it was bad timing for Best to get a concussion. They are my top 2 RB's. So if Best is indeed out, I will have to start James Starks and Pierre Thomas. At least Pierre has a good match up this week. I'm really hoping Best passes all test and is able to play Sunday. They are so secretive with his injury thus far. But Schwartz did say he is playing if he passes all test. Fingers crossed.

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 01:40 AM

dallas d should be a good play,

Yeah. I have the Lions Defense primarily. I'd rather play the Cowboys Defense this week, plus for Week 9 (Lions BYE), and Week 12 (Lions play Packers). Cowboys Defense has good match-ups in those three weeks as well. So if I could get the Cowboys Defense, it will come in play for me a few times down the road. More so then a Murray, Choice or Brown. So I will take a chance at maybe landing Murray on my 2nd waiver pick.

Oh yeah. I will not be dropping the Lions Defense. I will drop Ridley for the Cowboys Defense. Then if Murray is available, I will drop Mike Thomas for DeMarco Murray. Plenty of Mike Thomas types out there if need be.

Matt1144 · 10-19-11, 02:10 AM

Just dropping to say good call on Stafford and Graham this season.

Bigmikesm · 10-19-11, 02:21 AM

Need some lineup advice: Should I start Tebow @ Miami or Stafford against Atlanta? I have Atlanta's defense and that's why this is a tough decision. Appreciate your thoughts.

No better defense out there to get?

I would rather start Stafford, but go get a different defense.

14 team league with slim pickings available. Also gave Buffalo's D, but theyre on a bye. I was leaning towards Stafford. Thanks for your input.

What defenses are on the FA List?

Broncos maybe?

nomeansno · 10-19-11, 07:30 AM

All my best players are on bye, so who should I start from these guys?

2WR 2RB 1FLEX

MJD
E. Graham
S-Jax
D. Thomas
J.Battle
D. Murray

D. Bowe
Colston
Holmes
Boldin
Garcon

i wish i had this lineup on a bye week lol....

2RB= MJD/s-jax
2WR= bowe/holmes
flex you really cant go wrong with either colston/garcon or maybe even d thomas...id probably lean garcon

nomeansno · 10-19-11, 08:43 AM

Yeah I'm in a 6 team league, that's why I'm so deep. Everybody else is loaded this week, while most of my starters are on bye, gonna be tough to win lol. Thanks for the advice, but how do u feel about Murray or Battle against those shitty run defenses for the flex? They might put up more points than a WR without a TD.

Zzapper · 10-19-11, 09:40 AM

Have two of my better RB's on a bye-week. I am starting Hightower but skeptical about starting Redman who is on my bench. Jonathan Stewart and Pierre Thomas are free agents in my league. Should I pick up one of them or go with Redman? thanks.

ttwarrior1 · 10-19-11, 02:19 PM

redman?? cut him, for now hightower, or j stew, pickup j stew for redman

AlwaysDrawing · 10-19-11, 03:06 PM

Week 8 DST: NYGiants, Cincy, or Houston?
