Youve come to the right place.<br /><br />I read your list of WRs and started to type that you have to start all of them.<br /><br />Then I read your RBs and instantly deleted that. <br /><br />This is a hell of a lineup, and I really do think that you've got to go with all the RBs here. They are all in my top 15. Bush is the only one out of the top 10, and he really should be there probably.<br /><br />Fitz should have a good day, I wouldnt worry about starting him and the DAL defense. Both are great plays. Dez has been quiet, but he is always a big threat. I have a feeling that he has something to prove with one more week Austin-less. <br /><br />Meaning I would sit either Lloyd or Green. Who I have ranked 15 and 16 in WRs respectively. And my choice is going to be based on matchup. Both are great players, both are having better-than-expected years. One is facing a defense whose only weakness is the pass game. And one is facing the defense giving up the 2nd fewest passing yards per game and only 13 receiving TDs.<br /><br />Green against PIT is the worse of the two matchups. Meaning that Lloyd is my starter here.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-51163047335558464322011-12-03T12:01:11.945-05:002011-12-03T12:01:11.945-05:00I've been disappointed by Sproles in the past ...I've been disappointed by Sproles in the past few weeks in one of my leagues. Since Ingram is back, he has really slid. He is not touching the ball enough to really be a factor for me. Hard to count him out though.<br /><br />Smith was out of football for a long time. Played one great game. Then got hurt and missed a game. Even if he is back, I question how effective he can be. The matchup is ok at best, but i'm scared of the injury. And resurgance of Maurice Morris/Keiland Williams.<br /><br />I'd go Sproles. He has been consistent enough. Hopefully they will get more passes his way in what should likely be another high scoring game.<br /><br />I start everyone but Smith here.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-32989432772873859962011-12-02T21:18:22.789-05:002011-12-02T21:18:22.789-05:00K Mr. GHL,

NE has been running and should be way ahead in this game. When they do get ahead, I have noticed that they give the ball more to Woodhead and Vereen, but that is likely just to test them out. I think he could be a solid play against a weak defense here. Mendy went off, but he has been far from a must-start. I have them ranked close enough to justify a switch I think. I dont know that I'd personally do it, but that is a respectable gut call. Just dont overthink.<br /><br />At QB, I am confident in Romo for the rest of the year. You can keep Vick and play him if he has a great matchup. But I think that trade for Romo was smart and helped you out as Sproles is falling fast.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-6525298412381717692011-11-30T16:00:40.502-05:002011-11-30T16:00:40.502-05:00Doubt to see Austin back this week.

Moore and Manningham should both play though.<br /><br />As far as for the next few weeks, you need to expect a steep decline in Robinson's play when Austin returns. He'll still get time, and will likely still get receptions and red zone looks, so he won't fall that far. I think it is possible each week to make a decent lineup out of these guys. Cooper will be the weak link when Maclin is back.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-47948743086101108802011-11-30T15:58:35.473-05:002011-11-30T15:58:35.473-05:00Both are iffy.

He has one good game all season. The matchup against NE helps, but I can't in good conscience say that he should be starting for you. Go ahead and drop Sanchez for him, just to have him in case of emergencies, but you have to start Colston and Robinson over him.<br /><br />I really don't see any improvements that can be made. I know that I own AP in a league, and have also seen a massive decline since he got injuried. Dont think he'll make it back this week, but next week he should be good to go. I hope.<br /><br />You've been doing well all year. The injury has caused your recent problems. Dont let it shake you, don't over think things.

With a game against our division's weakest opponent this week, I'm (knock on wood) fairly confident I'll clinch a first round bye with a win. <br /><br />Regardess, looking ahead to the playoffs, my WRs may present a little problem for me. I'm set at QB (Cam), RB (CJ + Foster) and TE (Hernandez). But injuries have killed me at WR:<br /><br />Miles Austin, Laurent Robinson, Mario Manningham, Denarius Moore, Riley Cooper and Johnny Knox<br /><br />Hopefully Austin comes back this week so I'm not forced to play him and can get a better grip on his hamstring. If he (and Moore and Manningham) are all healthy in the next two weeks, what do you think are my three best options? I think I'll have to play the two Cowboys..and Mario and Moore should both have good matchups in the playoffs, although it will be interesting to see where the Jets CB's line up and Moore may have to match up with Brandon Flowers in week 16..should I make it.zachernesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-20827430895445431952011-11-30T10:38:17.209-05:002011-11-30T10:38:17.209-05:00Also, Brent Celek is on waivers... should I claim ...Also, Brent Celek is on waivers... should I claim him to start over turdbag Finley?mgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-21791608747295899592011-11-30T10:36:32.839-05:002011-11-30T10:36:32.839-05:00I have a pickup question/roster-optimization reque...I have a pickup question/roster-optimization request here!<br /><br />First off--here is my team:<br /><br />QB - Rivers<br />WR1 - Colston<br />WR2 - L.

I can see big performances from Fitzgerald and Blount, Ben and Wallace maybe. The rest are hit or miss really. So you do stand a pretty good chance.<br /><br />Packers are a great matchup for your QB, so there is that. I hear what you’re saying with VJax, but the matchup is alright there, and I agree that you have to roll with him. Be mindful when it comes to Laurent Robinson. Austin is due to come back this week. Robinson performed well even when Austin was playing, but with his return, Robinson is far from a guarantee.<br /><br />As far as replacing either of those players with your bench, it is really hard to determine which Titan receiver will take over this week against the Bills. It’s a beatable matchup, but it seems that each week highlights a different WR for that team. If Manningham is back this week, again that matchup with GB is nice. I’d probably roll with the starters you have in there now though.<br /><br />Definitely a tough matchup for Steven Jackson, but Pittsburgh is surprisingly soft against the run. Even less intimidating with their recent injuries. Benson could again be a surprise. The other options here are bad. Unless AP is back in, I say you have to start Jackson and Benson.<br /><br />If trading is still an option in your league, you might be able to sell Laurent Robinson pretty high to a team that doesn’t pay attention to injuries. Trade him for a high WR or RB could help a little. But I don’t know that there are many moves you can make that wouldn’t hurt you in the long run. I think getting rid of Robinson would be the best idea at this time.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-75419998545267264542011-11-30T10:16:03.515-05:002011-11-30T10:16:03.515-05:00I would do that.

Sproles has suffered a lot from a re-emergence of Pierre Thomas and the return of Ingram, so I can definitely see selling him.<br /><br />Once the trade is made you will have two top 5 running backs in your lineup. And a solid flex option with CJ or Harvin.<br /><br />this trade would greatly improve your team. Go for it.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569611606000518052.post-31940252506342971742011-11-30T10:14:22.847-05:002011-11-30T10:14:22.847-05:00Definitely some nice moves there.

As far as I'm c...It's an interesting call.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, the bench is pretty much useless in the playoffs. My strategy has always been to create the best set lineup that you can possibly create. If you get an injury, it leaves you shallow and pretty screwed, but if you dont get an injury, you are pretty untouchable. It has worked for me.<br /><br />Going on that thought, since your bench is nothing more than DJax and Rivers, you can really do whatever you please with the other spots. I’ve never heard of filling up with defenses, but it could work in your favor.<br /><br />You are obviously using the SDS. And if you can find the perfect play from FA for each remaining week, I don’t see any reason why not. <br /><br />I probably wouldn’t pick up four. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I really like the NE defense from here on out, so I would likely pick up them, and maybe one more defense if you find a particularly awesome matchup for one week. The rest of the spots I would get the best RBs or WRs you can just in case an injury does occur.<br /><br />Once again, you are free to try the four defense thing. They are just bench spots, so it couldn’t really hurt anything, and it guarantees they wont be picked up. Sounds like good thinking ahead to me.godhateslosersnoreply@blogger.com
