Fitzgerald might be a safer play for a modest amount of points, but there is a ton of upside playing Hilton if you need to make up a point differential in favor of your opponent. Hilton is better at home, so if I had to make a choice myself I would probably go with him. It's entirely possible he's a bust, though, just not that consistent yet.

EDIT: Forgot Fitzgerald is playing in Thursday game. Yeah, go with Hilton. Always better to roll with the players and teams having a full week of rest.

Yeah, thanks. I really hate having guys in these Thursday games. Unless they are my studs, I try not to use them. Hilton it is!

I had Seattle D. Russell Wilson gave the Cardinals 10 points and a DB for Seattle got an INT and ran the ball back while tripping over his own feet at the 10 yard line and rolling to the 1.

I cut the Seattle K earlier today then tried to grab him back. Some weird lag on my phone app, but I took it that far to begin with. WW brainfart on that. He got 13 points. Oh well.

I have Lynch. Solid game, people were saying to not expect much but he came up. Still a great solid first round pick.

OK so I'm starting Rivers in all 4 of my leagues this week. In 2 of them I'm starting him over Aaron Rodgers. ALL IN BABY.

But who can we even target. I'm trying to get Morris or gronk. Doubtful.

I made a push for Fitz and cj0k for foster. Another doubtful.

This probably would have been the most ridiculous question to ask before the 2010 season, but does anyone think Shonn Greene can outplay Chris Johnson? Picked him up after considering Chris Johnson not running too well, but Titans having a decent schedule and getting back (the hurt) Locker soon.

Not sure this is the week to do that. If the Chargers get a lead on the Jags, expect a steady dose of Mathews.

Somehow the concussion Mathews had knocked something back into place instead of jarring something loose.

you need to relax and hope you're not dead yet. it's been impossible to predict what he'll do week to week, but he's had some nice games. he's still hurting and he was playing seattle last night. you don't win by trading low on guys

Had Lynch myself. Should of had at least 2 touchdowns, haha. He's been real consistent for me this year.

Time to unleash the Gronk.
Potentially getting Harvin back next week, too.

Dropped Rudolph to pick up Crabtree.

Titans schedule is super easy in the second half of the year. And CJ0k has been piss awful. He obviously doesn't care about playing to his abilities, and they don't give him the ball in goal line situations either so he has no touchdown upside to save his otherwise-bad yardage games.

I imagine Shonn Greene does decently well and maybe even enters into a 50-50 timeshare with CJ pretty soon. Greene has never been flashy but he's a solid, reliable runner who will get what is blocked for him and should grab a decent amount of rushing TDs. And something tells me the coaches are probably pretty fed up with CJ at this point and would love to get Greene more involved.

So here's one; better bye week QB filler - Tannenhill MIA @ BUF, or Josh Freeman MIN @ NYG? Bradford is also available but since he's playing CAR that seems to make him a worse option.

I think the fact the MIN is playing the Giants pushes this into a lot closer decision than it would be normally.

Yep, Hauschka is my starting kicker. He's now ranked second in EP/FG rating for a total of 16/17 on the year with his first 50 yarder last night. Gostkowski is also 16/17 before sunday's game and will probably be the only kicker to pass him this week. Other kickers with 16 tries are Hennery and Hartley but their percentage lags.

I attribute Hauschka's dominance due to a perfect storm of a top 3 defense coupled with a horrible Run Blocking line where Lynch gets stuffed consecutively, he can't always do it all. Which means they'll get the ball alot but haven't been able to sustain drives.

Gostkowski's dominance is due to solid defense but the drive-killer = NE's abysmal drops (most in the league), Brady's very average performance, and inconsistent ground game.
