Dude, you are screwed no matter what if those are your three options. I hope you have Peyton Manning, Jimmy Graham, McCoy and Forte.

I don't trust Welker but if he is back, which he is, then you have to start him.

I just got offered a trade. 0.5 PPR and I am 0-2 with a crushing 1 point loss last week.

I receive Aaron Rodgers and C. Patterson of the Vikings.

I give up Nick Foles and Dez Bryant.

other WR's are Emmanuel Sanders, Andre Johnson, Golden Tate and Markus Wheaton. Dez is my clear #1

I believe I am rejecting it.

Alfred Morris,
Adrian Peterson
Delanie Walker
Sproles,
Seattle D

also have Cam Newton on my bench

I trade Terrance West, I get TY Hilton

Rest of my RB and WR:
Cordarelle Patterson
Erick Decker
Victor Cruz
Deandre Hopkins

Lesean McCoy
Reggie Bush
Alfred Morris

He's on my waiver wire, and Torrey Smith and Dwayne Bowe have me nervous.

I'd reject the deal.

Dez is better than Patterson -- and you don't know how AP's absence is going to impact the production of the O (despite the fact Patterson will get more carries/targets).

Foles has almost as high of a ceiling as Rodgers, once he gets the O going, in my opinion. The gain you make getting Rodgers doesn't outweigh giving up Dez for Patterson.

Rainey or McFadden ? PPR

I'll probably have to wait for this decision to see if Doug Martin is playing

Raiders are a mess, but like you said you'll have to find out if Martin is playing.

I would probably do it strengthens your Wrs and you still have Mccoy Bush and morris and Tate is going to be back in a couple of weeks anyway...

Question for you guys:

Hawkins vs Ravens or Wheaton vs Carolina

is an attempt to put them somewhere near the same class. They are not. In fact, Foles has looked terrible so far this season and I don't see it changing. I am convinced that last year was the aligning of the moons for him and he's going to be a middle of the pack QB this year. Very unimpressed with him despite him being in a perfect offense for your fantasy QB.

Rodgers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Foles

I can live with Foles dumping off 5 yard passes that go for 40 yards.

Whom shall I start?

1. Reggie Bush vs. Green Bay
2. Bobby Rainey vs. Atlanta

thanks!

This is for my (2) RB slots and (1) Flex spot:

Reggie Bush vs GB
Sproles vs Washington
Doug Martin vs Atl
Rainey vs Atl
TY Hilton vs Jax

Thanks!

Martin will play, but Rainey is just flat out better. I'm starting him and don't really care if Martin plays or not.

Bush all the way...GB defense is a sieve

I'm starting Rainey over Bush. Rainey ran right through a great D-line and Atlanta's line is pitiful.

If Martin plays, the touches obviously lessen, but its not a cut and dry scenario, IMO. Bush also has under 100 total yards through 2 games, so you can take that as him losing his luster a bit, or just not breaking out yet (could be either).

Im not suggesting that I'd do that trade, I'm just pointing out that I strongly disagree with the statement that Foles has as high of a ceiling as Rodgers.

All but 2 of Sproles' receiving yards were YAC. Foles looks terrible this year and if it isn't for McCoy/Sproles, he'd be toward the bottom of the league to start the season.

Basically, you can't bank on 150 yards passing to your RB's on a weekly basis.

Ross Tucker þ@RossTuckerNFL ·3m
Bucs beat writer @NFLSTROUD: "Bobby Rainey will start and not just b/c of Doug Martin's knee. Coaches really like him"

"Not just because of Doug Martin's knee. Coaches really like [Rainey]," said beat writer Rick Stroud. To be clear, this looks like educated speculation, not sourced reporting. Coach Lovie Smith has declined to name a starter, only saying he wants to use a committee. But it's not that far-fetched to think that the Bucs want to ride Rainey's hot hand after he put up 174 total yards on 25 touches in Week 2. It's a messy situation, but at this point we'd give Rainey the edge as the better flex play in this cake matchup.

so i hope its like 75/25 split in favor of Rainey, or Martin just not playing at all.

Bush hasn't done much the last two weeks, and is losing time to Bell. He had only 8 touches last week.

I'm considering attempting to trade Carlos Hyde to the Gore owner in my league in order to secure a top defense. The gore owner has two : The Pats and The Niners.

I would then cut the Chargers and attempt to snag another rb from the ww such as Khiry Robinson or Donald Brown. I consider Robinson to be a similar player as Hyde.

What you think? I know he's interested in Hyde as he mentioned him to me several times. (as an aside I doubt he'd be interested in Gates as he already has Jimmy Graham.) Also, the Ravens are avail on the ww.

12 team Standard Scoring, Start 1 Qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 flex (rb/wr), 1 te, 1 k, 1 d, with 5 bench spots.

My team:

Foles
Cam

Lynch
R Jennings
Hyde
Bradshaw

Dez
Maclin
Decker
Wallace

Gronk
Gates

Vinatieri

Chargers

Also, if I don't trade for the Pats or Niners....

WSIS this week?

Chargers @ BILLS

or

Ravens @ CLE

Interested to see how this shakes out.

since week 2 of last year. The 4 games after regressed each time for the most part, then he got the big injury. Not he's kind of injured again.

I can just as easily see him putting up another dud as I can him putting the haters to rest tonight.

For Rainey, he's had enough explosive games where I can call him better. His bad games last year were:

Detroit - close game
49ers - great line, blowout
Rams - great line, had a TD
Saints - huge blowout

Carolina - this year, only 6 touches but scored

pick one:

DeAndre Hopkins vs NYG
Andrew Hawkins vs BAL
Frank Gore vs ARI
Travis Kelce vs MIA

Martin has really regressed and people still look at that game against Oak back in 2012 to justify his high draft standing.

Granted, I believe ATL blows them out tonight and one has to wonder if come the second half whether Rainey is regulated to dump off screen passes?

Who would you consider between Rainey and Hilton as a FLEX?

Hilton hasn't done much yet, but they are playing jax this week...

Wait until 8pm and see what reports say about Martin. If it doesn't sound like Martin will get a ton of carrier i'd start Rainey. Otherwise, Hilton will have a big game sooner rather than later.

What about #Bucs RB Doug Martin? I’m told he’s unlikely to play tonight vs. #Falcons with that knee injury. Will test out pregame to be sure

who would yours be:

Montee Ball @SEA
Terrance West vs BAL
Michael Floyd vs SF
Knile Davis @MIA


Right now I have the first three, but if Charles is out, and I believe he is, I'd like to swap out Davis for one of them. Floyd?

West Floyd and Davis...i would not start a RB vs Seattle

normally I wouln't either, but Seattle looks like they had a super bowl hangover last week getting abused by Rivers. That anemic running game even ran a little.

My only hesitation is it's in Seattle and they don't lose there often, but I think Peyton and the Broncos still put up points.

Floyd has a total of 13 targets this year. He most likely will have a bad QB throwing the ball. Montee Ball will be involved in the offense, he can catch the ball. I'd easily sit Floyd.

Kmed.

Larry Donnell or Martellus Bennett for starting TE?

vs DEN or Romo @STL? I thought Romo would be a great fantasy QB this year. Not through 2 weeks he hasn't.

right now my tight ends are Jordan Cameron and Dwayne Allen.

Cameron is still hurt and may not play, if he does im not sure how effective he will be, but ill start him if he plays.

Allen last week stunk fantasy-wise but do i give up on him and sign Niles Paul(who will probably not be much once Reed returns), or Kelce who may be good.


not sure what to do here. im leaning towards dumping allen for kelce but allen could rebound.

Bennett

I was bullish on Romo considering where his ADP was. He's been dogshit so far. Hopefully that doesn't change.

Donnell or Bennett is a toss up for me. 50/50.

i drafted reed to be my starter and of course he got hurt n his first reception...

It seems with the giants they use Donnel to get Eli into a groove so he gets a lot of production early...

Reggie Bush or Bobby Rainey - who'd you guys go with this week?

for one week, ride Paul, for the season, Kelce. In PPR Kelce was solid last week.

dropped allen for kelce, im afraid cameron may end up hurt again and kelce has the more long term value.

arrest of Dwyer ?
