So for this upcoming week, my dilemma is at QB.

Roethlisberger vs. New England?
Cassel vs. Pittsburgh?
Matt Ryan vs. Tampa Bay?

Cassel has been hot but Pitt's D is too good. Roethlisberger has been better the past couple of weeks but NE can get to him which has been his undoing this year. Ryan will probably put up solid but unspectacular numbers.

If Light gets suspended I'd be very worried about the pressure on Cassel. Hopefully we'll hear soon whether it will be just a fine or a suspension as this should have a major impact on your decision.

I have my own dilemma this week at RB, pick two:

Jones-Drew @ HOU
Marshawn Lynch vs SF
Thomas Jones vs DEN

I'd go with Lynch and Jones.... my Mom can rush for 100yds against Denver. Buffalo is desperate, and the 49ers suck. Jones-Drew has fragile freddy to contend with...

gonna have to disagree with the 49ers suck, they are a different team now and can shut down the run, i would rather go with jones-drew than lynch

Yeah but you're biased ;)

well they've shut down the run game 3 weeks in a row but got torched in the passing game so its not so much a bias as it is...fact

You're right... San Fran has looked solid against the run of late...

.. but I still like Lynch this week. He's really starting to shine as the center piece of the Buffalo offense.

Look at his stats over the last few weeks... steep upward trend in YPC, Carries, and receptions. I actually expect Lynch to be one of the top 10 backs coming down the stretch of the season.

that upward trend has come in games against the Browns & Chiefs though.

it's a tough call. I think you have to start Thomas Jones since everyone runs on the Broncos. MJD & Lynch..... flip a coin haha

I cant believe that the playoffs start in a few weeks for some leagues.

Mine start next week

I like my ESPN league. First round of playoffs is week 14 and 15 combined, and finals are 16 and 17 combined. Saves you from one crappy day.

Right now I'm #1 in 3 leagues, #2 in one league, and #6 (8 team playoff) in another.

Should I play Darren mcfadden or Justin Fargas against KC this week? Mcfadden seems to be producing TD's but Fargas is still lised as their RB1. But I've heard rumors that Mcfadden will be taking that spot and bumping fargas down a notch based on performance lately.

Ok guys who do you think is the better start

Bowe vs. Oak
or
R.Grant vs. Car

I read somewhere that Oak hasnt allowed many points to WRs tbis season and recently S.Smith (Car) only had 1 catch for 9 yards vs. Oak.
I picked Bowe over Grant a couple weeks ago and got burned - hope it doesnt happen again. I am leaning towards Grant though.

Oh and which D do I start NE vs Pit or GB vs. Car?

Well...Smith has been bad b/c Delhomme has been bad. In one of his past games (3 games ago?) he only threw for 79 yards.

Was that the game where J.Stew and Deangello ran for like 300 yards?

Oakland's top CB is very very good. I'm not going to even try to type his name. Start Grant.

I'm taking a gamble on Kevin Smith and starting him against TN. Titans have given up 100+ yards a game. Smith has put up 100+ yards a game on Carolina, Tampa, and Jacksonville. So he can run on some stout squads.

I just don't know what's going on with Jacobs this week. Larry Johnson is set to explode against Oakland so that's my other start.

Holy crap.

Two Lions players started in the same week on my team. Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith. Yikes!

Woop woop, good start with Chris Johnson on 3 of my teams :) Unfortunately I didn't have the balls to bench Calvin Johnson for Detroit on one of my teams. Maybe he'll have a 70 yd TD before the game ends.

I've got Calvin Johnson started too, let's hope he gets his usual garbage time TD.

Bastards!

Seriously!!! How did he gain so many points!...
I just hope Marion Barber can make up what Chris Johnson did. One TD, one or two more to go. I love how Chris Johnson suddenly got only 4 extra points after the 1st quarter haha. Lendale White got most of the carries.

I freakin went with Smith instead of Witten. Dumb dumb dumb!!!:disgust::disgust::disgust:

Thankfully the Titans D came through. Now I need someone on the hawks to take out Romo and TO.

My retarded ass left Johnson on the bench in favor of Thomas Jones and AP. I just hope Jones can cut up the Broncos on Sunday.

OK? 105 yds and a TD is really uncommon for a TE who is not on the Cheifs.

What I want to know is who were the 3X% that decided to sit Westbrook against the seahawks. I want them to play in my league next year.

Wow, Westbook sure did help out my dying team yesterday. 4 TD's, 100+ yards.

37 fantasy points

Too bad I don't have him on my other fantasy team that's actually doing good this year.
