Gerhart might be a good pickup for 1 week.

Gerhart might be a good pickup for 1 week. 

He is already taken, however i did pickup Goodson. I'm thinking i might take a chance on him. He hasn't practiced the last two days, but should split carries with Stewart.

I just have a bad feeling about Green-Ellis.

Gerhart might be a good pickup for 1 week. 

I did pick up Gerhart, so the final piece will be to decide between Gerhart and Mendenhall.  Just have to watch AP.

[asava]

man i hate seeing game-time decision. every week with antonio gates, and now petereson?! cmoooooon.

Number #1 seed in the playoffs

Need 1 WR, 1 RB, and 1 WR/RB

Green-Ellis vs. GB - Been awesome the last several weeks - Leaning to him.
Westbrook vs. @SD
Bush vs. @Bal - May finally be over the injury. Tough matchup against Bal though.

Steve Johnson vs. @Mia - Had a couple rough games...but i still gotta go with him since Lee Evans went down. He's now the #1 guy in Buf.
Branch vs. GB - Went off the last couple weeks...Definitely leaning to him.
Bess vs. Buf - Been pretty shitty lately.

Green-Ellis, Branch and Johnson. Pretty solid.

^This.  I don't think you can sit any patriots no matter what right now. not after what they did in a complete blizzard against a good defense...

Am also the #1 seed in the playoffs 

[Stevesie60]

Gotta start 3 of these 4: Wayne, Austin, Steve Johnson, and Santonio Holmes.

Holmes hasn't done anything for me in the past few weeks, so I'm thinking of sitting him. I feel like the other 3 have much more ability to explode for 40 fantasy points or so than Holmes does. Thoughts?

[bakerman]

Holmes plays Pittsburgh and the Jets are reeling and being exposed right now. Steer clear.

Just looking for a second opinion:

3 WR positions, no ppr.

Roddy White   @SEA
Hakeem Nicks  PHI
Jeremy Maclin  @NYG
Sidney Rice      CHI
Deion Branch   GB
Pierre Garcon  JAC


Right now I'm going with: White, Nicks and Branch

[Cire]

Is rodgers playing?

[bakerman]

Is rodgers playing?

Isn't practicing all week and is a game time decision. Said they won't decide until Saturday at the absolute earliest. I'm saying don't play him because they aren't even letting him watch film. Which really sucks for me cause he's my starter. Trying to decide between Garrard and Kitna for this week's options.

White and Nicks for sure. Garcon has been nails the last two weeks, but Collie may cut into his catches this week. Hard to go against Branch right now though.

Same thoughts I'm having. If Branch can put up 151 yards and a td against a top 5 defense in a blizzard, I would think he can do alright against GB.

Nicks hasn't done dick since about week 9.  Had him in my one money league.  Was 8-1 when he stopped performing and Romo got hurt.  I went winless after that and missed the playoffs, despite having Chris Johnson and Arian Foster.

[Cire]

Kitna and Garrard are my two qb's since romo was hurt.  Trying to decide between the two.

Also Jets D or Oakland D?

He had 6 catches for 128 last week against the Vikings and Steve Smith and Mario Manningham are out this week. I don't know about Asante Samuals this week, but he was out last week, putting the Eagles down their top two corners. Plus you know the Eagles are going to score, so the Giants are going to have to keep up, imo.

[Cire]

you realize that nicks sat for 2 weeks.

[bakerman]

Also Jets D or Oakland D?

Tough call. I'd say they are pretty much a push as both offenses are they are playing can put up points fast. I would give the nod to Oakland though as I would think Pittsburgh's defense is going to put it's offense in better field position, allowing them to score more. Also, Oakland has the home field advantage(if this can be considered in the NFL).

[WillieWatanabe]

Another dilemma...

NYG D vs. Phi.

or

NYJ D vs. @Pit.

or should i just go get a D off of FAs? Carolina's and Arizona's D are both available, and they play each other.

Unsung good defensive plays for this week, imo:

New England vs. Green Bay(most likely no Rodgers)
Cleveland at Cincinnati (dangerous, but lots of turnovers and Cleveland has completely shut down rush offenses this year)
Atlanta at Seattle (Mike Williams is back, but Hasselbeck threw 4 ints last week and Atlanta is tough against the run)
Miami vs Buffalo (No Lee Evans allows them to control Johnson more and focus on the run)
Arizona at Carolin (Purely based off of turnovers. There are going to be a LOT of rushing yards in this game)
Dallas vs Washington (Dallas really strong against the run, apparently the only thing Washington can do. McNabb has been way down and threatened to be benched this week)


None of this is to say that Giants vs Eagles (Giants get tons of sacks, but Eagles score a lot) or Jets at Steelers (really tough road game and think that Steelers D is going to put their offense in a good position to score) are terrible plays, just risky.

Also, the dude im playing has Pit's D...not that it matters... I was leaning towards NYJ, just because i didn't know how many point Pit would score.

Do you think NYG will get many sacks against Vick though?

I'm thinking of picking up Ari D and taking a chance.

It's a tough call because Vick is so elusive, but of any team in the NFL, the Giants D-line has the athleticism to contain him and bring him down. He's been getting hit a lot lately and I think this is a sign that the Eagles' O-line is fairly week (it's not that the receivers aren't getting open soon enough).

I'm really bad at defenses, sorry, but I would say both NYJ or ARI d's would be decent plays. Neither are going to compete with your opponents Steeler's D though, they're freaking disgusting...

[bakerman]

Oh yeah, interesting find I read about today if you're hurting for a WR. Minnesota is most likely going to start Joe Webb at QB. He was drafted as a WR and therefore fantasy eligible at WR and QB.  10 points(at least in my league) is a pretty mediocre week for a QB in my league but a really good week for a WR. So even if he has a fairly bad game at QB he could give you good WR points.

Just a thought if anyone was looking.

[Cire]

I've been number one all effing season but the dude I"m playing's team has clicked as of late.  I scored 200 more points than him over the year but the projections for our game have me up by 3 points.  the other game on the schedule is projected like 15 points lower than ours.  I will be effing pissed if I lose.
