PrintThe final bye week is upon us and we'll all be thankful that this is the last one. Give us your questions and thoughts below. Some other things we can discuss: Is Tarvaris Jackson worth picking up to replace Matt Schaub or Matt Cassel? Will Ryan Mathews produce a meaningful game for his owners against Chicago on Sunday? And is Darren McFadden going to produce big numbers down the stretch or share carries with Michael Bush, once he returns? Let us know what you're thinking in the comments.

Greg Jennings, Julio Jones, Stevie Johnson, Jordy Nelson, Antonio Brown & Mike Williams. Yea, definitely strongest at WR. Rivers has been awful & I’ve had busts at RB except for Peterson. Hillis & Felix have been poo.
strongest at WR too
i started off the year strong in RB, but who knew welker would blow up this year so big? most awesome 5th round pick ever. it also helps that i picked up antonio brown and victor cruz off the scrap pile (free agent list)
I'm gonna brag here:
Which is strongest:
QB: Stafford, Tebow, Flacco
RB: AP, S. Jackson, Murray, Greene
WR: Austin, Maclin, VJax, Colston, Cruz, Nelson
TE: Graham, Gronkowski
WHICH IS BEST?
(To be fair, it’s a keeper, this team is my baby)

TE
Graham and Gronk should be forces to be reckoned with for years to come.

Help! Major game this week!
At QB (1): Romo or Tebow?
At WR (1): Maclin, Laurent Robinson, Damian Williams, or Earl Bennett?
At TE (1): Antonio Gates or Fred Davis?
At Flex (1): One WR/TE already listed
Fairly easy choices
Romo, without question. Going against the Redskins, with Tebow against the Jets, it’s a no-brainer.
Robinson – Maclin likely won’t play, Williams is becoming a nice option but isn’t at starting level yet, and Bennett is going against a SD team that can be run all over – Cutler won’t need to pass a ton.
Gates – the Cowboys really want to beat the ’Skins and make a statement in the NFC East
Either Bennett or Davis, they’re your top two talents left. Flip a coin. Nah, just go with Bennett. Chicago looks good right now.
PhoenixFan
QB- Romo, he has a great matchup with Washington and I don’t fully trust Tebow facing the Jets
WR- Robinson. has really stepped up and will out produce the other 3 for sure
TE- Gates. He has a real quarterback passing to him.
Flex- Fred Davis. He will get the most targets from his QB
Start/Sit
I have a bad bad week due to the bye week. No Foster, Graham or Antonio Brown.
BJGE, Starks, Battle, Ogbonnaya, Vincent Jackson, Mike Williams (TB), Stevie Johnson, Damian Williams
I unfortunately need 3 of these guys.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
BJGE, VJax, and Little Stevie
The Law Firm could see a score or two as the Pats go up early on the Chiefs and grind out the clock, he’s your best option of the four, at least.
VJax will see somewhat softer coverage as Chicago has to defend Vincent Brown, now, as well as Gates, and Stevie Johnson should have a nice bounce-back game against the Miami secondary.
start V-Jax, Starks and Steve Johnson
Jackson is a must start
Starks is getting the most touches and should get alot of garbage time points
Steve Johnson has a good matchup and should reach the endzone at least once
Defense for Week 11
Would you start the Cowboys defense against the Redskins or the Giants defense against Philly this week?
start Cowboys def.
Washington has been doing nothing against weaker defense. They will get you a ton of points
check out these gems...
… this is a 14 team league in which I drafted Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne with 2 of my top 3 picks, for those of you wondering how in the hell someone could have a team this bad.
Here’s the team team as a whole as of right now…
Carson Palmer
Harry Douglas
Deion Branch
Ray Rice
Daniel Thomas
Anthony Fasano
Torrey Smith
Sebastian Janikowski
Niners D
The Bench
Julio Jones
Jeremy Marlin
Joe McKnight
Owen Daniels
This league gives 1 point per reception and also scores 1 point per 6.66 yards recieving. It also gives 3 points for 100 yards rushing or recieving. Plus 6 points for return TD’s.
My sit/start question has to do with Joe McKnight. Does anyone like him over Daniel Thomas or any of my options for flex? Thanks in advance.

start McKnight
I like him better than Thomas. With Tomlinson out his work load will be pretty good. I really like him against Denver
lance ball, Felix jones, Marion barber
I am a McGahee owner so I picked up lance ball. Our league gives half a point per carry, 20 yards for a point, and one point per reception. If McGahee plays, how much do you see ball being used? How many carries do you see Felix jones with this week? My third option is Marion barber. Between McGahee, ball, jones, and barber I have to play 3.

Got Sproles on a bye this week so I have a bunch of decisions to make.
2 Flex spots available for:
Mike Williams (TB)
Laurent Robinson
Shonn Greene
Roy Helu

QB quandry -- Tebow or Stafford?
Tebow vs Jets, or Stafford vs Panthers?
Both are at home.
I have been riding Tebow as my starter the last 3 weeks, and he has actually outscored Stafford all 3 weeks in my league. But with Denver running literally 90% of their plays, it’s hard to have faith that Tebow can put up another 17 points with only 6 pass attempts and his handful of rushing plays.
Stafford is back at home, and should have a bounce back play.
Will I anger the fantasy gods if i bench Tebow?

Stafford
The Jets can rely on their secondary to defend against Tebow’s “passing,” and focus more defensive players on stopping the read-option runs. Stafford is home, in the dome, and against Carolina. The Lions don’t currently have the running game to totally dominate the Panthers on the ground the way everyone else has this season, so they will dominate them through the air.
start Stafford
I think Tebow is due for a bad game and the Jets are a really tough defense to run on. The Titans passed at will on Carolina and Detroit really wants to get their mojo back. I really like Stafford this week.
Since Vincent Brown isn't a Running Back
I think I’d have to go with Morris.
Vick is very questionable to play
Even if he does play, the broken ribs clearly affected his accuracy last Sunday. Go Tebow, and go to church.
Big Week....
Big week, and I have mendenhall and sproles out on byes.
QB: Rivers or Palmer?
RB: Brandon Jacobs, Lance Ball, Dexter McCluster
WR: Plaxico, Stevie Johnson, Julio Jones, Vincent Brown
TE: Ballard or Celek
I need 2 RBs and 2 WRs
Thanks in advance
Hmmmmmmmm
Rivers. SD will have to throw, and Rivers, for as mediocre as his real-life performance has been, has still been a decent fantasy option. Oakland will run with Bush and Palmer will likely have a decent but not great game. Rivers has the higher upside, they have about an equal floor.
Jacobs and Ball. McCluster has been basically useless. Unless it’s a PPR, and McGahee starts. Then maybe Dexter over Ball.
Stevie and Brown. Plaxico is a bum. Julio Jones is unlikely to play.
Ballard. The Eagles have trouble with the TE, the Giants have not (until the last two games of course).
eschlim
QB- start Palmer. The Vikings pass defense is terrible. Palmer is going to light them up. Look what he did last week against San Diego.
RB- start Jacobs and Ball. They will get many more touches than McCluster.
WR- start Burress and Steve Johnson. Burress is a great end zone target and Steve Johnson should have a very good game. I’m starting Stevie also
TE start Celek. VY has shown a reliance on the tight end in the past. And Celek seems to be coming around.
If I win, im in
In a standard scoring league I have to play 2 RB, 2 WR, and 1 RB/WR.
With Bradshaw likely out again this week I picked up D.J. Ware. My options are:
RB: C. Benson, L. Blount, D.J. Ware
WR: R. White, M. Manningham, D. Williams, A.J. Green(likely doesnt play)
Right now I’m playing Ware and Benson in the rb spots with White, Manningham, and Williams starting the other 3 spots.
Blount seems to get phased out of the gameplan entirely when TB is down on the scoreboard, and against GB this week they’ll likely be down from the opening whistle. Benson gets the Ravens who’ve been solid against the run. Any advice or lineup suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks again!
You have to go Benson and Blount
They are the starters, Ware is not. Nor is he the goal-line back. Jacobs is the man in NY for now. Blount has had me beating my head against the wall for the last couple of weeks, too, but I really don’t think they will completely abandon him this week, it hasn’t worked at all so far. (full disclosure, i just traded Ryan Fitzpatrick for BJGE, and am starting him instead of Blount this week)
Go with your 3 WRs you have now, they will outscore Ware, and obvs AJ Green if he plays, instead of Damian Williams.
bossofsauce
RB- start Benson and Blount. They are your best bets for scoring points.
WR- start White and Manningham. Again they will score your points.
Flex- start Green but if he’s not playing or looking doubtful than go with Damian Williams
You have to go Benson and Blount
They are the starters, Ware is not. Nor is he the goal-line back. Jacobs is the man in NY for now.
Go with your 3 WRs you have now, they will outscore Ware, and obvs AJ Green if he plays, instead of Damian Williams.
QB: Rivers or Sanchez?
RB: AP (obviously), Benson, Kendall Hunter
WR: Denarius Moore, Maclin, Brandon Lloyd, Torrey Smith, Jerome Simpson, Ben obomanu
Need 2 RBs, 2 WR, and a RB/WR. Standard league. I’m hoping I can pick up Vincent Brown as a FA tonight. I think he’s still available
I guess the real question is
Benson or Hunter and who gets the flex spot?
I should obviously start AP, Moore, and Lloyd.
put benson at flex
And hunter at RB
by dukeallstar on Nov 18, 2011 9:36 AM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
Rivers, Moore, Lloyd, AP, Benson and Hunter
Torrey Smith and Jerome Simpson are going against each other in what looks to be a defensive struggle. I would bet more on Benson getting a score than either of them. I think.
CNJKing
QB- start Sanchez. I like him better than Rivers against the Bears
RB- start AP and Hunter. I think Hunter is going to have a really nice game against the Cards.
WR- start Lloyd and Moore. Great plays in week 11.
Flex- start Benson. Bengals will try to pound the ball without AJ Green
Sanchez sucked balls last night
That kid will never be a good QB. No football intelligence.
dalton, tebow or palmer
i have tebow and dalton, but palmer is available. who should i start?
Thank you!!
start Palmer
He’s facing one of the weakest pass defenses on Sunday in Minnesota. He is going to have a field day.
Help please (.5 ppr)
Pick three: Larry fitzgerald, Brandon Lloyd, Laurent robinson, Stvie Johnson.
Pick two: Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews, Reggie bush, legarette Blount
Leaning towards Fitz, Lloyd, and LaRob plus CJ2K and bush
by philsfreak6 on Nov 17, 2011 11:48 PM EST via mobile reply actions
philsfreak6
WR- start Fitz, Lloyd and Robinson. I think Buffalo might go run heavy.
RB- start Bush and CJ2K. I think they’ll score the most points for you this week.
Defense
I have Cincinnati defense or the giants defense having trouble deciding who to play this week, I also have ray rice as my starting rb?
by SF_Champs10 on Nov 18, 2011 1:12 AM EST via iPhone app reply actions
start Giants defense
With Maclin probably out and Young starting at QB. I really like New York against Philly this week
Pick 3 one is a flex standard scoring
Blount Steve Johnson AJ Green or Earl Bennett
Jack
start Johnson Green and Bennett. But keep an eye on Green’s status, if he’s not playing or it looks that way than make sure to start Blount. That way you at least get some points
Who to play
Pick 4 to play: Jordy Nelson, Percy Harvin, David Nelson, Crabtree, Sidney Rice, Early Doucet, Roy Williams, Austin Petis, or Scott Chandler???
Thanks!
start Crabtree, Jordy Nelson, Harvin and Syndey Rice
They’re starters, get alot of targets and offer the most upside of your players
by dukeallstar on Nov 19, 2011 12:49 AM EST up reply actions
which RB / WR to play?
12 team, non ppr, standard scoring.
mcfadden needs to come back~! until then, here are my choices at RB:
kendall hunter or OGB
also, which WRs does everyone think i should start? choose two: victor cruz, earl bennett, or david nelson.
will cruz continue getting consistent points with both manningham and nicks back at full health? jay cutler is looking surprisingly mobile and accurate so i’m willing to take a chance on bennett, even though it’s only been two weeks. also, with nelson, it feels like the fitzmagic is gone…
James
start Hunter. They’re using him more to save Gore for down the stretch.
start Cruz and Bennett. Nelson has not practiced much this week and is not 100 percent.
I think Cruz has become an integral part of the offense and will continue to get targets.

14 Team PPR League
Last game of the season before playoffs start in my league and I am definitely already in. Sproles out on bye and I have either Nate Washington or Darrius Heyward Bey left for my flex. So question one…who to start? Nwash is probable with an illness and DHB is in the dog house but Ford is out. Question two…should I be dumping DHB at this point and looking to improve my WR situation for the playoffs? Perhaps pick up Jacoby Ford or Santana Moss for when they return? Thanks
I hope to join Claude Lemieux in Hell one day for a beer....
start Washington
I have Louis Murphy doing even better than DHB. He’s that far into the doghouse.
I think you should drop DHB. His situation looks that dire. Going forward I have Jacoby Ford at 36 and Santana Moss at 42 in my WR rankings. While I place DHB at 60. I love DHB but it really looks like he’s getting the short end here.

Have a RB and WR conundrum
12 teams, no PPR, standard scoring.
Need 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and a flex out of:
RB – Ray Rice, Fred Jackson, DeMarco Murray, Michael Bush
WR – Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Marshall, Brandon Lloyd
At this point leaning towards Rice, Jackson, Murray, Nicks, and Lloyd, but it’s tough to sit Bush and Marshall.
Too many good players!
GJS
RB- start Jackson and Murray. Must starts
WR- start Marshall and Nicks. also must starts
Flex- start Rice. Another great starter
Trying to remain undefeated: 8 teams, standard scoring
Jags or Pats D?
Trying to get into first rank: 10 teams, standard scoring
Bengals or Ravens D?
Thanks!
Go Eagles!
by xADx GoGreen4Ever on Nov 19, 2011 1:09 PM EST reply actions
And
Pick 2. Devin Hester (we get 1 point for every 25 return yards, and 6 is it is return TD), VJax, Antonio Gates, Jerome Simpson
Go Eagles!
by xADx GoGreen4Ever on Nov 19, 2011 1:39 PM EST up reply actions
start VJax
He’s had a longer week of rest, the Chargers probably will be playing catch up and he should get a few more targets with Floyd still being out
Pats D and Ravens D
The Chefs are terrible. Period. I do like the Jags D against Cleveland though.
Andy Dalton won’t have AJ Green to throw to, plus the Ravens are a different team at home.
by sasperilla_pete on Nov 19, 2011 1:49 PM EST up reply actions
Same question as last week
Hakeem Nicks or Laurent Robinson?
Right now, I’m leaning the opposite of last week with Nicks in my lineup currently. I know the Philly D kills WR1s, but Nicks is tough to sit, and this is a week where all of my players are going in the early game and I like to have someone going on Sunday or Monday night. However, L-Rob is probably going to see some targets with Miles Austin continuing to be out.
Thoughts?
by sasperilla_pete on Nov 19, 2011 1:52 PM EST reply actions
pete
I really like Nicks. I’m starting him in the league I have him too. I think Robinson might draw some more coverage this week and if Dallas gets out to a bigger lead, they’ll probably keep running it with Murray on the ground.
I also like to have someone playing late and the Philly D wasn’t able to shut Fitzgerald down last week, so Start Nicks
Flex spot PPR league
Ed Dickson, Jake Ballard, Darius Hey-Ward Bey, or Roy Helu

... Or David Nelson

Erick
start Helu. Washington seems to be in full check down mode, which increases Helu’s targets. Helu can catch out of the backfield and I think he offers you the highest reward of those 5 players.
11th hour trade
In my 10 team keeper league i was offered an 11th hour trade.
I trade MJD and Maclin for Lynch and B. Marshall.
Now I have:
QB- Ryan, E. Manning, Cutler (start 1)
RB- F. Jackson, Best, MJD, R. Bush (start 1)
WR- VJax, D. Jackson, Maclin, Laurent Robinson (start 2)
TE- Witten (start 1)
Def- Eagles and Bills (start 1)
K- Bailey (start 1)
also a flex RB/WR spot.
I’m leading my division and the league, but I don’t know if this trade will help me as much as I think it will. Scoring is 2pts every 10yds rushing/receiving and 6pts all TDs. 3pt bonus for 40+yd td plays.
Thanks for ur help!
don't do it.
MJD and Maclin are worth way more than Lynch and Marshall. This trade will not help you at all
