    Alright I only have about 4 locks this is it, I lose? Im done.

    Here is who I have plugged in now but only the highlighted players are ones Im comfortable with.

    Starters

    Tom Brady-CAR
    Knoshown Moreno-@IND
    Rock Cartwright-@ Oak
    Calvin Johnson- @ BAL
    Wes Welker-CAR
    Miles Austin-SD
    Jason Witten-SD
    Titans DEF- ST.Louis
    David Akers-@NYG

    Bench

    Darren Sproles-@Dal
    Mike Bell-@ATL
    Felix Jones-SD
    Mike Sims-Walker-MIA
    Steve Breaston-@SF
    Chris Brown-SEA
    SD DEF-@DAL
    Lex Hilliard-@JAX


    The RB thing scares me I almost HAVE to start Moreno because he is teh fulltime starter, Almost ALL the other backs save Sproles played like crap last couple weeks. Cartwright was very unimpressive but who else?

    The WR combo is difficult. Welker will not be benched so I need to pick two of theses three.

    Calvin Johnson- @BAL is not a good venue with the east coast predicting to get blasted, can Stafford get anyone the ball in those conditions? But if Ed Reed is out again it may be hard not to start him.

    Miles Austin- ESPN projections have a 5? Very odd to me considering his output most of the year, actually it will be hard NOT to start him in what may be a shootout.

    Mike Sims-Walker- Has been a monster @ home but has 3 catches in his last two games and Im worried he may be hitting a wall, we (MIA) do have a young scondary and the safteys will be worried about MJD, that and the weather should be decent.


    Titans defense has been very average but they are at home vs Kyle Boller, but SD has back to back great weeks. The waiver wire is thin.

    Sooooo many tough decisions, I was hoping Mike Bell wouldve converted more of the short ydg chance he had that would make my choice a little easier....GURUS help me through this.

    I don't like either of your running backs all that much, but the squad you posted is exactly what I would start. Not anything special on the bench at RB.

    The rest of your team looks great. Good Luck!

    Losing Ronnie killed me, infact thats the reason I finished a game out of the division, I had the lead....I lost ronnie and he had Ricky on his bench.:pity:

    Not much you can do. Cartwright gets the ball so you you have to roll the dice with him.

    Now with Slaton out and Schuab nicked up Im wondering if Chris Brown would be a better start than Cartwright?

    Where is Gish the mad scientist? I need ya buddy!

    Ganther is the starting RB in Wash, not Cartright. He'd be the guy you want in your lineup against a **** team like Oak.

    Hurry up and grab him.

    F-CK! Thanks for the heads up bro....now I really dont know what to do, put in on the waiver wire for him, Ill be living on a prayer! I may just start Darren Sproles and take my 5 points guarenteed due to his kick off returns.

    Man this sucks.

    No prob. I'd actually consider Chris Brown over Sproles if you can't get Ganther.

    He's been and should continue to be the goal-line back in Hou.

    Here is how I would set this lineup, if it were my team...

    Starters

    Tom Brady-CAR
    Knoshown Moreno-@IND
    Darren Sproles-@Dal --> Has 10+ fantasy points in 3 of last 4 weeks.
    Calvin Johnson- @ BAL
    Wes Welker-CAR
    Miles Austin-SD
    Jason Witten-SD
    Titans DEF- ST.Louis
    David Akers-@NYG


    This lineup is pretty good. I'm using Tennessee as a spot play in a few leagues as well. Calvin is a 50/50 boom or bust play. Welker, Austin, Witten, and Brady should all be money.

    Wait till Saturday and I'll give you my answer. I don't like giving people advice on situations that change 5 times before the weekend.

    There should be more news on that situation. Plus I would take the weather for your matchups into account.

    Def a good add though just so you have another option.

    With Rock Cartwright being demoted I would start Chris Brown in his place.

    Nothing wrong with that bro. With what you have to work with at RB just going with your gut feeling isn't a bad play. You are pretty much expecting your QB and a couple of WRs to go off to secure the win anyway.

    Get 'er done! :up:

    All this Brady hurt talk is scary...im a longshot to win this week as he has a ton of great matchups, but its Fantasy Football so we ALL know anything is possible.

    Nothing personal, but I hope Brady CAN NOT play this week, my 1st round opponent has him starting. :up:

    I would too. That offense has looked alright and they're playing the Raiders. Supposed to rain.

    Idk if he can catch passes, but I feel like he and Devin Thomas could have big games. Maybe Fred Davis too.

    I lost.....the guy Im playing needs two points and he has Fitzgerald and Warner, thanks Andre Johnson and Desean Jackson.

    And a special F-CK you to Tom Brady now I hate you even more.

    Hope your out the rest of the season.

    Fin-O....OUT
