Sure, why not? I like Keenum against Oakland with no Foster better than I do Luck against TEN with no Reggie Wayne.

That's what wife did. She has Ty Hilton as well so I explained she could get double fucked if they run a lot against titans weak run d.

But as always in fantasy watch luck blow up. I don't think it will happen though. Thursday games are always tough in road teams, especially qb.

And luck and the o line looked down right pitiful last week.

Go colts!

Help me pick a flex WR. I currently have Denarius Moore, but he's been crappin' lately since Pryor is so inconsistent. James Jones doesn't look like a good option either with Rodger's clavicle issue. So do I keep Moore in or pick up someone from waivers?

Available through waivers:

Stevie Johnson (vs NYJ)
Rueben Randal (vs GB)
Aaron Dobson (vs CAR)
Dough Baldwin (vs MIN)
Rishard Matthews (vs SD)

Hopefully you played Chris Johnson tonight cuz he just scored. My RBs suck that I have to play him and just hope he hits payday eventually.

TEN Game has already started, so hopefully you chose CJ since he already has a 30yd TD run a couple minutes into 1Q. Thank goodness, because I needed at least a not terrible performance from him this week in at least a couple of the leagues I'm in.

Hey, it's another extremely nervous CJ?K owner hoping he doesn't completely torpedo our remaining playoff hopes. Welcome, friend.

I really have no choice but to play him. My first few picks were A.J. Green and Spiller and he was the best option I had after everybody else was gone. At least he hasn't been injured yet. *knock on wood*

Hell yeah, 70 yards and 2 TDs for CJ and it's only 4:06 in the 1st Quarter.

Oh sure and the week I matchup to you and we are vying for 1st in our division. I should expect no less. I'm the league whipping boy.

Fuck I picked brown up off waivers today but didn't get to put him in before game time. I hate Thursday waivers, Wednesday all the way.

I almost picked up brown to play over Lamar miller before the game but thought that was too crazy.

Yeah I benched TRich for Brian Leonard, thank god. I had a bad feeling about TRich in week 3, so unloaded him + Megatron for McCoy. I won out BIG on that deal (rushing yards worth more than receiving, .1 vs .66 since it's a 3 WR league), 137-112 so far. Guy is just benching TRich every week, lol.

Delanie Walker also having a huge game, another dark horse pick that I would have played if I didn't have Fleener. Chandler is my third dark horse since Stevie Johnson and Robert Woods may be out.

I forgot TN was playing tonight. I left them in by accident, was meh about it as Carolina is my other D, and then BAM they forget to play defense the entire second half.

I was actually going to search the WW for a D to play this week.

Yeah they put up a goose egg in my league. That sucks. I'm starting Carolina, hoping for many sacks on Brady.

What really helped you out in a sort of indirect way is the fact that you have not been starting Trent Richardson expecting good games for a good chunk of the season, it hurt my team since I kept starting him until I finally saw the light after his week 9 dud and straight dropped him for Andre Brown. I was shocked that Brown was still on the waiver wire that late and picked him up with a late waiver claim.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a dark horse pick but I really like Harry Douglas in PPR leagues this week depending on how his knee injury looks. Ever since Tampa switched Revis to man coverage slot receivers have been getting great production plus he had a fantastic game against them last time he played. If Roddy and Tony G are good to go you have got to find some way to start Douglas this week.

That's OK, after scoring 20 fantasy points in the first 9 minutes or so, he scored all of another 1 or 2 points the rest of the game. Obviously I'll take the 20, but there could have (and IMHO should have) been a lot more. I don't have the NFL network to watch the game, but I'm completely baffled why the Titans switched from a ground game that seemed unstoppable in the first quarter to whatever muddle they did offensively the rest of the game.

I decided I don't hate thursday waiver, I hate thursday games. I never get to watch them and they just fuck you in fantasy football if you are busy that week.

I'm in a bind and need some help. In my 3rd WR/TE slot I have Roddy White starting right now but just found out he has a shoulder injury. I also have Tony G on my bench and he is going to be a game time decision. I will be traveling most of Sunday and won't be able to switch my lineup.

Should I drop Terrance Williams for a reliable starter this week or just roll with Roddy White? My only other option would be to drop Tony G which I would rather not do.

Has Roddy done anything warrant you keeping him? I dropped him a couple weeks ago so I haven't seen his recent production, if any.

Well, I never could get anyone to trade me either Graham or Gronk. I was offering Knowshon + choice of Cruz/Jeffery and no bites. This is in an auction keeper league where Knowshon would cost basically nothing to keep and both of these guys really have nothing close in terms of value.

Anyway, that's why I've now done the following...

Victor Cruz for Antonio Gates. My TE is awful. Victor Cruz is riding the bench on my team. Needed an upgrade for the playoffs.

Knowshon Moreno for Desean Jackson. I think this is a good one for me. Knowshon is my backup RB and I need a 2nd WR.

I'm ok with both of these. I improved two positions at the expense of depth.

So going into the playoffs in a few weeks my lineup will be like this:

12 Team League:

QB: Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, or Jay Cutler. I'm weak here. Julio gone, Gonzalez likely out. Dalton inconsistent. Cutler injured. Fortunately this league is only 4 points per TD for QBs.
RB: Adrian Peterson and Matt Forte. Vereen is my primary backup.
WR: Demaryius Thomas and DeSean Jackson. Alshon Jeffery is my primary backup.
TE: Gates. Primary backup is the waiver wire.
K/DEF: Gostkowski/Denver currently.

I think I've improved about as well as I can with the assets I have. QB could prove to be my downfall.
