Who to start this week? Newton or Eli? I have Eli in since Carolina does not have 3/5 of their starting online playing. Both guards and left tackle are out.
Have 3 guys on bye so struggling with my flex spot. Right now I have Johnathan Stewart in, but Williams is supposed to be back tonight and I saw someone mention above they have 3 OL out. Ideally I'm trying to drop Reggie Wayne for OBJ and play him on Monday, but won't know if I got him until Saturday. So if I don't start Stewart tonight and I don't get OBJ then I either have to start Vernon Davis on Sunday or Wayne and hope he plays on Monday. I think I'm going for OBJ and if that doesn't work keep monitoring the Wayne situation until my hand is forced on Davis.
Stuck with him through about five or six weeks and finally let him go when I had to start making some moves. Now someone else has him. And with my two top scorers, Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb, on their bi-weekend, it's going to be tough sledding for me against a 5-3 team.
My RB's this weekend are Oliver and McKinnon, my WR's are Sanu and OBJ, and my flex is either McFadden or Fitzgerald. That's how bad my team is. The good news is that Rivers is my backup QB, Graham got me 14 points on Thursday, and my defense is the Chiefs vs. Jets.

Bengals running back Giovani Bernard has been ruled out for Sunday against the Jaguars in Week 9 with a hip pointer, per the team's official website. Bernard wasn't able to practice all week after sustaining the injury in Week 8. Jeremy Hill is expected to start in his place.
His next chance to return will come Thursday night against the Browns in Week 10.
CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Giovani Bernard, who hasn't practiced all week because of hip and collarbone injuries, will miss a game for the first time in his career on Sunday, coach Marvin Lewis said Friday.
Bernard, the Bengals' leading rusher with 446 yards and a career-high five rushing touchdowns, will be replaced by rookie Jeremy Hill against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
"The rest is going to be good for him," Lewis said.
Lewis and the Bengals said it was too soon to know if Bernard would be healthy enough to play next Thursday, when the Cleveland Browns visit Paul Brown Stadium.
"We'll cross those bridges then," Lewis said.
I have no idea whether to start Jordan Reed with RG3
I'm not into bonus points for 100 yard days, but I think the home team should get 3 extra points otherwise what's the point of designating one team as home and the other as away.
I would also consider a formula that reduces the points given during garbage time.
Andrew Hawkins vs TB
or
Michael Floyd vs DAL
WR I'm a little stronger if guys bounce back and if Gordon produces when he comes back.
B Marshall, Floyd, Mike Wallace, Wayne/OBJ, Gordon
I've been kind of disappointed in him. Hawkins seems to be targeted a lot.
Do I replace Ben Tate with him or replace OBJ in my flex?
Sucks that Cooks already played, I would have just slotted OBJ in my WR3 spot and used Hill as my flex.
I'm playing the guy who has Gio and he still has him in the lineup, I don't normally root for stuff like this, but i hope he leaves him in.

I saw a few reports on ESPN saying he was out. But again, its only ESPN.
CBS has him listed as officially out

I think I'm just going to start Reed even though he hasn't been all that great. He'll actually have a decent QB throwing to him this time around.
My gut keeps telling me to start Donnell though. Colts have no LBers/Safeties to speak of.
