I'd wait until inactives are announced for that one. Forte has been terrible all year, and the 49er run defense is pretty good besides. That has all the makings of a 20 yard effort. If Westbrook is active I play him.

Hey guys, gotta start two (we are PPR, 1 point per 10 yards rushing/20 yards receiving, 6 for a td):
Ronnie Brown vs. Tampa Bay Mendenhall vs. Cincy Addai vs. New England Kevin Smith @ Minnesota Moats is on bye so obviously he sits Right now, I'm Brown and Mendenhall. Should I fear Cincy's run D and play Addai instead or just keep it as is? |

I'd go Brown & Mendenhall. I wasn't aware that Cincy's run D was any good, but I could be wrong.

Cincy's run D is 6th behind Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Green Bay, Washington and New England in giving up fantasy points to RBs. The systems are different, but as a general indicator it seems valid to say Cincy's run defense has been very good. That said, I'd probably still start Mendenhall. Your other options (other than Brown, who clearly must play) also play against defenses ahead of them on the list, and one of them just stinks (Smith).

Trade question...
I'm currently one game out of the playoffs (top six teams), but fourth overall in points scored. I think I have a solid team with Romo, Chris Johnson, Mendenhall, Pierre Thomas, and Reggie Wayne among others... my 2nd WR is either Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, or Santana Moss. One team has a multitude of WRs (they are currently in first) and are offering one of their WRs for next year's first round pick (really like a third rounder since we keep two players). He has DeSean Jackson, Marques Colston, Steve Smith of the Giants, and Driver. Do you think it's wise to offer the first for Colston? |

Flex Spot
Matt Cassell @ Oakland Darren McFadden vs Kansas City Ricky Williams vs Tampa Bay Defense Tennessee vs. Buffalo Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh I'm thinking Cassell and Tennessee D, but I'm not 100% sure.

I didn't see this get answered but I would probably go Ricky Williams depending on your scoring system (point per reception?). And Tennessee's defense for sure. |

I was wrong on Smith. In most leagues Forte/Brown was a push (unless you had a PPR league or TD only) At least I was right on Westbrook. This week, with Turner out, I have to decide on K Smith v Cleveland J. Addai v Baltimore. Hate to start anyone from Detroit, but with Addai's finger, probably Smith is the better bet. I have Charles and Forsett also on the bench, but I don't like their matchups vs Pitt or Minnesota.

Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR 1 TE + 2 flex or RB/WR/TE
Favre (QB) Wayne (WR) and Ward (flex) are pretty much set. One of Slaton or Reggie Bush must start to fulfil RB (I also picked up Ryan Moats). Leaning towards Bush vs TB, over Slaton vs TEN So the 2nd flex is a toss up among: Slaton vs TEN, Moats vs TEN, Steve Breaston @ STL, Lee Evans @ JAC, and Julius Jones @ MIN(who may not play). Leaning towards Evans. Also...am I crazy for considering benching the CHI Def (vs Philly) and picking up Detroit, who gets the awful Browns offense?

If you get points based on how little the opponent scores I'd say no you are not crazy. I'd imagine Philly could put up a 24+ spot on Chicago pretty easily where Cleveland would have a hard time putting up 24 even if there was no one on the field.

I have three that I'm stumped on:
-Eli or Romo (going with Eli right now based on bye-week rest and matchup)? -Mendenhall or Pierre Thomas (going with Mendenhall right now based on matchup)? -Sidney Rice or Colston (going with Rice now since he seems to have a higher potential)? Help would be greatly appreciated... |

Your gut matches mine. I prefer Eli rested and that match-up, I have to assume that Mendenhall (and the overall Steelers' running game) is going to get more carries, and Rice seems like the way to go there although I'm almost coin toss on that one. |

As a Saints fan it's hard to say go with any of our guys- you just never know who is going to get the ball- gotta ride the hot hand of Mendenhall & Rice. Colston & Pierre could have huge games, but it could be Mike Bell (or Reggie) and Henderson, or Meachem, or Moore, or Shockey- you just never know who Drew is going to get the ball to. |

I'm in a three-way tie for first in a 14 team PPR league and the Ronnie Brown injury could hurt me pretty badly (and I cut Dwayne Bowe). Here's what I have:
QB- Brady, Schaub WR- Moss, DeSean Jackson, Driver TE- Shockey K- Carney DEF- Arizona, Green Bay RB- Kevin Smith, Mendenhall, Addai, Sproles, Wells, and Forsett As you can tell by Sproles, Wells, and Forsett, I've already been hitting the waiver wire hard. Is it time to package one of my quarterbacks and running backs for a front-line running back? We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D Last edited by PurdueBrad : 11-19-2009 at 02:47 PM. |

Last place, and in a must-win situation or else I'm done this year.
Hasselbeck @ Min or Palmer @ Oak and then I have to pick one out of.. Avery vs. ARZ Henderson @ TB TO @ JAX Depressing, I know.

Hasselbeck-- he's actually been pretty good outside of the game he got hurt. Avery-- TO will have Fitzpatrick throwin to him. Henderson is so hit or miss, plus he's one of 47 choices Brees has to get the ball too. Avery has been pretty good, and he's the #1 pass option on a team that's going to behind and need to throw

Lions D or Packers D
PIck 2 RB, 2WR, 1 Flex Bernard Scott, Benson, T Jones, Slaton, Megatron, Fitzgerald, Jennings, Hester No PPR Vince young vs Houston, flacco vs Indianapolis or romo vs wash. Kind of must win. I'm in the final playoff spot right now. |

I'm leaning lions D vs the browns Jones at one RB, dunno if Benson is playing for the other WE Fitzgerald. I'm thinking Megatron as well. So flex debate is slaton/Hester/Jennings/Scott. With Scott/slaton in the back mix too if Ceddie can't go. I may not have time to go to the wire on Benson being healthy |

With the news that Slaton is back as the starter...
B. Wells @ St.L S. Slaton vs. TEN or J. Snelling @ NYG I'm leaning with Wells, but could see going with the other two. Any thoughts? |

I would go with Snelling or Slaton over Wells. Until the Cards say Wells is the starter, there's still too much uncertainty over how many carries he will get. Having said that though, if the Cards blow it open early against the Rams, Wells likely gets to play more. Tough decision really.
I would go with Snelling because he's the one likely to get the most carries I think. Norwood is back, but coming off an injury and Slaton has Moats breathing down his neck and a fumble away from the bench again. Last edited by Thomkal : 11-22-2009 at 05:14 AM. |

Well Cotchery was my choice and the right one. I'd have already won my game if I started Big Ben... instead I need 30 points from C. Johnson, A. Johnson and McNab.

Trade advice again... another league has the trade deadline set at tomorrow and I have Carson Palmer sitting on my bench (Rodgers starting).
I need a WR (Have Rice, Mike Wallace, and Dwayne Bowe) and we start two of them. Team A has Donald Driver, Houshmandzadeh, and Crabtree that he'd trade one-for-one. Team B I haven't asked yet, but has Hines Ward, Larry Fitzgerald, and Mike Sims-Walker so maybe he can trade one of them. Those are the only two teams in contention and in need of a QB. Team A has Cutler and Alex Smith, Team B has Flacco and Hasselbeck. Thoughts? Palmer for Driver or Housh is my first guess... |

In my other leagues, similar questions to last week:
QB: Romo or Eli Manning. I'm leaning towards Romo this week since Eli goes against a better pass defense... RB: Pierre Thomas, Mendenhall, or Hightower as my #2. I'm leaning towards Thomas since Hightower can't be trusted and Mendenhall is going against a fired up Ravens D... WR: Sidney Rice or Colston. Leaning towards Rice since he's been on a roll and facing a slightly worse defense. Thoughts on this week? |

I'd say Romo, Thomas and Rice for pretty much the same reasons you gave.
I have a mixed bag at WR this week that i need to decide on. (We start 2) S. Smith v Jets A. Boldin v Ten V. Jackson v Kansas M. Austin v Oak J. Maclin v Wash Jackson is a given for me. After that I can find a reason I want to start or bench each of the others...

Romo (v. OAK) or Big Ben (v. BAL)?
Romo has been primarily good on Thanksgiving the last few years, but he is going against a sneaky good pass D in OAK (and he is a little banged up). Big Ben has been a little more consistent than Romo, but he is more banged up than Romo (although he is likely to play either way) My gut first said Romo, but I am leaning toward Big Ben. Thoughts?

Slight edge to Romo because, you know, it's Oakland. Although you may want to reconsider in a TD-heavy league as Den's D has given up more pass TDs (10) than Oakland's (8).
Concur with Thomas. Rice, easily. It's in the Dome, Favre is on fire and clearly likes Rice, and the Bears' defense (actually the whole team) is in freefall. |

S. Smith v Jets Probably not. See Revis, Darrelle A. Boldin v Ten Pass D looked good vs. the Texans, but they've also got Fitzgerald with which to contend. Ten are also a bit resurgent, so this could be a competitive game. On the downside, maybe Leinart starts.... M. Austin v Oak Probably not. See Asomugha, Nnamdi and honestly the rest of the secondary is decent. J. Maclin v Wash Technical Was has the league's highest-rated pass defense, but this game is in Philly and I wonder how much that rating is influenced by other teams just rushing on Was. So, I think it's Boldin unless it's clear Warner isn't going to play. |

Yeah I think this is sound reasoning. Revis and Asomugha can shut down #1 WRs, and Washington gives up the fewest yards through the air. |

Thanks for the opinions guys. I'll stick with Romo, Thomas, and Rice. This league rewards four points for pass TDs.
I'd be scared of Big Ben against the Ravens right now, fyi. |

This Benson shit is annoying. He's expected to be worked back into the lineup vs the Browns. I really wish they would just bench Benson and go with Scott(whom I also have). Now I'm fucking clueless what to do in that game. Hell, I'd think it's reasonable to think that Leonard may outscore Benson and Scott if they both split carries.
