Stacy and Rainey are guaranteed touches. I'd roll with one of them over Bell, with the nod to Rainey (I love Stacy, but I'm benching him due to matchup, and I think his O-Line has problems this week). Out of TE's you have good options. My pick would be L.D.

My te are concussion masters. Zac Stacy is someone who I really dont wanna bench but he will get his. Just im epexcting 50 yards from stacy and maybe a 3 yard td run for bell.

Yeah, you've got a few TE's who have noggin issues for sure. Mind if I ask why you carry three TE's? Have you done so all season? How many teams in your league?

Kicker question (We don't see too many of these, huh?):

I've used Prater all season, but worry he's not gonna be more than a 5 point Joe the next three weeks for me. Week 15/16 are my playoffs.

Keep Prater, and dance who I came to the dance with...or pick up Vinateri?

Other options are Crosby, Novak, Bailey, Suisham, Gano, Bryant, Nugent, Akers.

Kickers are next to impossible to predict, but my theory on Vinateri is that the Colts suck right now, so more FG attempts, no?

Don't overthink it. Prater is fine, as is Bailey. Novak only if you work under the theory to use a warm weathet or dome kicker during playoffs.

Unless you have the top few kickers its a dice roll. Out of that group I like Novak & Suisham. One guy that is flying under the radar is Caleb Sturgis, only owned in 9% of yahoo leagues and has been productive for the past 6 weeks. Only thing that worries me is the weather.

Just recently. 12 teams. Ppr

I had jordan reed. For like week8-11, til he busted his head. Picked up walker and played him. Same week he busted his head. So this week I waviered my 3rd TE.

Good thing is im locked at WR. With dez, megatron, garcon. And rb1 with Charles.

I want reed to play but I fear even if he plays he might not be the same.

Im thinking. Of playing rainey and zac. Or replace zac and play a 2 te lineup since its ppr.

@ MetalMat and Glenn1, thanks!

@ T2urtle. I've never played in a ppr league, but it's my understanding that a RB is better at flex than a TE usually, right?

I normally opt for someone who catches the ball. This spot is perfect for a woodhead/sproles type of guy. In ppr sproles and woodhead on normally in top 20 rb maybe even top10. A catch for no yards or 1 yard is still a point. But I normally play the better person at flex.

At the end of year megatron and dez get 100 more points then standard leagues. And chalres, peterson, foster normally racks up 50 extra points. But sporles and woodhead is in the 60-70 point range.

Depends on who you are starting. If you have someone like Andre Brown or Shane Vereen at RB and Coby Fleener at TE on your bench then I would start one of the the RBs. However you have the luxury of a TE like Julius Thomas on your bench then I would start Thomas at the flex.

Keep a close eye on Reed, remember that last week he was supposed to play and at the last minute went inactive. I would have Green in your starting lineup just in case so you don't get a goose egg.

Also keep an eye on the status of Reggie Bush. He is supposed to play but if he is ruled inactive tomorrow Bell becomes a must start. A similar situation happened earlier in the season where Bush was ruled inactive before the game and Bell had a great game.

@weirdichi - CJ2K.. I'm just not sold on Spiller - he was limping last week even though he produced.. consistency = F
@Away - Bell and Vereen - if Ridley is a full go I might consider Rainey
@monk3y - Rainey.. If PPR, then Floyd

Turns out what happened there (you may already know, but in case you don't) is that Reed lied about not having any concussion symptoms. The medical team pretty much tricked him into admitting he was having symptoms when he had been claiming he wasn't. So that's what led to the last minute inactive for him. I doubt he'll be able to pull bs like that on them again this week.

Marcel Reece is getting the start.. both Jennings and DMC are out..Denarious Moore is still out..

Snow/sleet @ Bal, Phi, Den, DC, Pit, Cin, GB.. something to consider.. mostly for Kickers and Defenses..

I just swapped out Henery for Gano

Answered PMs for those who sent them.

I had Burleson in my lineup, shit! Not liking his chances with snow forecasted for the next 6 hours at Philly.
Snow. The snow may be heavy at times early in the period. Cloudy with temperatures steady or falling to near 32F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Snowfall of 2 to 3 inches through 5:30pm.
