Second most points this week with Lynch, Charles, Gordon, and Chiefs DST. Lost to the highest point total.

4-2 with the most points in the league because I have 100 more points against me than any other team.

So damn frustrating.

[NewMarketSean]

Lost Cobb and Murray yesterday, watched Rodgers (my fantasy QB) beat the Ravens with mediocre stats.

 

Still have a shot...down 2 with Keenan Allen going tonight with the other guy having Trent Richardson but I don't like my chances and moving forward my team will be significantly weaker if those 2 guys miss time.

 

A crappy week.

[Markus]

Had Moreno, Morris, and VJax net me 65 points in one of my leagues and in said league look to be the runaway winner for the week. 

 

Also, seriously looks like I'll be going 3-0 in my leagues for the first time this year.  About freaking time.

Just received a trade proposal.

 

Who would you take?

MJD or Ryan Mathews

Wow that's tough. And not in a good way. I think Matthews has more upside so I'd go with him.

...that actually turned out well.

 

Allen is a beast, and Trent Richardson...wow...if I am a Colts fan I am like, "we gave up a first rounder for this?"

 

Trying to pull off a Cobb/Murray for AP trade in a salary cap keeper league. The guy who has AP is done at 1-5 and AP is $68 so not a keeper.

I have Mathews so right now, I think I'm just going to stick with him. He had a really good game last night and I just don't trust the Jags offense.

MJD...Mathews continues to disappoint IMO.

He is losing too much time to Woodhead.

[Icterus galbula]

Well, Ellington and MJD now have TDs today. My Bad. Pulling for Thomas to hook you up!

  

It was a tough call. Had a gut feeling on Ellington. Certainly wasn't a lock.

It all worked out, Reggie Wayne got me over the hump last night so I would have won regardless of the RB choice.

[Chris B]

Any guesses on the injuries of Demarco Murray and Steven Jackson?

 

I have their backups (Jacquizz and Joseph Randle) and I'm trying to trade one to an RB-desperate manager. Just want to know which to keep and which to trade.

[BobPhelan]

Murray thinks he could play this week so that doesn't sound too serious. Highly doubt he does but that seems like a positive sign to me.

[BobPhelan]

Rivers vs JAX or Luck vs DEN? I have Allen and Hilton to hand cuff them with. Also is it smart to start Rivers, Woodhead, and Allen? Or are they gonna jump out and coast.

I usually dont like two players from the team on my lineup. Unless its someone who's 99% of the time going to give you points. Like Manning to Welker, or Brees and Graham. A guy in one of my leagues last week had Luck, Wayne, and Richardson. He wasn't too happy.

Even though its JAX, I still wouldn't start all three unless you have no better options. Rivers and Allen are hooking up a lot now. Is Woodhead your flex? He would be the one I'd leave out.

Have the exact same problem in my money league. I'm leaning rivers/allen though. Just haven't liked ind playcalling. Even when they go down big I could see them still running.

It PPR and with Murray hurt and McFadden on bye he's my RB2. Allen would be the flex. Other options are Michael Floyd, Tolbert, and J. Bell. My biggest question is still Rivers or Luck.

[NewMarketSean]

Yeah I lost Murray too, sucks, because Willis McGahee is my 3rd RB and this week's match-up is going to be brutal vs. the Packers in GB.

 

Good to hear he could be back sooner than originally thought but I'm 5-1 in my league and dont want to lose any momentum and I lost Cobb too.

[Mike in STL]

You could hedge your bets with Luck Allen and Woodhead. Rivers and Luck could both have good games. But if Rivers has a bad game, it likely means Allen's numbers will suffer too. 

[Matt]

IMO, don't ever look at the rest of your roster when filling out your lineup (or the opponents roster I know some people like to start players based on the other team). Always start who you think will score the most points regardless of if you have 5 players on the same team or one player on 5 different teams.

[Markus]

So this week Brees is on a bye and I need to pick up a QB.  Slim pickings:

 

Foles vs Dal

Weeden @ GB

Freeman @ NYG

Smith vs HOU

Tannehill vs BUF

Henne vs SD

 

 

Also, agree with the above about just starting who you think'll have the most points.  1 team I have, I got Decker, Moreno, and Thomas (TE) and 2 of the 3 are pretty much locked into to starting spots and Decker isn't a bad option for a flex some/most weeks.

[Mike in STL]

Thats tough, Foles, Tannehill, Henne I think in that order. Those others are more turnover prone, and Smith may not find the endzone unless its a pass to Charles.
