Figured I'd get this started...

For my flex spot, Torrey Smith or BenJarvus Green-Ellis?

Playing against each other? I'd say BGE will get a lot of carries, but against the Ravens D it's tough to play anyone that isn't a league MVP type back. I'd probably take Smith, but CIN has some decent guys in the secondary so that could be a tough matchup too. I think Torrey, but I'm not super confident either is a great play.

Ellis played really well vs the Ravens in the AFC title game and the Ravens run def may be an issue.

Also, Bernard Scott is hurt.

It's a very close call though...Ravens will be throwing it around.

I bet they end up with very similar points, so go with the Raven and root for them. :)

Kirkpatrick is out at least...Dunlap likely out as well, hurting the pass rush.

Yeah I expect them to try to run up some points for sure. I'll have my eye on this game no doubt.

Yeah, I'll prolly end up playing Torrey specifically for this reason.

I rolled the dice and started Demarco Murray and Miles Austin together and it worked out. In the same league is it ok to start Chris Johnson and Nate Washington? I have Washington in my flex spot because I stole AP and Ryan Matthews but they're not giving me many options early on. Do I double down on Titans or go with AP since he might get 10-15 carries?

AP is starting...if he is starting, you have to start him.

First of all, I just want to brag that my team is absurdly good. 12 team league, have had most points both weeks.

QB RGIII
RB Foster
Flex Spiller or Richardson
WR1 Jordy
WR2 Miles
TE Gronk
Seahawks D
Nate Kaeding


The reason I am posting here-

I can only start two of Foster, Spiller, and Richardson. Right now I have Richardson on my bench, but I'm seeing some rankings where they have him ahead of both Arian and CJ this week. Any thoughts?


EDIT: I should have posted matchups.

Foster @ Den
Spiller @ Cle
Richardson vs Buf

Spiller has been explosive, but I would go with Richardson. Maybe my preference for the bigger back.

Good chance Spiller has the bigger day against a worse defense.

4 WRs, 3 spots.
Torrey Smith vs Cleveland
Welker vs Buffalo
Julio Jones vs Carolina
Demetrius Thomas vs Oakland

I'm definitely going to start Smith, but I can't decide about the other two spots. I'm leaning towards starting Welker. Just can't decide between Thomas or Jones. Neither has put up great numbers the past two games, but both could be due.

I think Jones is a must start every week guy. Smith, Jones, Welker I'd say.

Thanks. Smith should do well against Cleveland and Welker I think is starting to come back around. Jones did have a great first game. Figured that Thomas was going to be Manning's go to guy.

I still like Thomas but I'm waiting to see him have back to back good games.
