I need a WR - my current roster (in addition to Julio Jones) has Antonio Brown (whose injury might limit him) and Edelman. These are the top positive trending WRs that are available in my league:

Chris Givens, Josh Gordon, Golden Tate, Mike Thomas

Who do you think is worthy of a pickup? I can free up a slot on my roster by dropping Broyles.

 

[vi edit]

Tate.

I think the first three on your list (Givens, Gordon, and Tate) will do better than Brown or Edelman. Maybe put Gordon first since he's against the Chiefs and got 7 targets last week.

 

[MisterJackson]

I'm gonna need someone to replace Broyles too. Is Amendola even a wise decision? I have him, Tate and Mike Thomas available on waiver.

If I've learned anything about fantasy football in this, my first year playing, it's that I'm loading up on RBs early and often in the draft. They're like lottery tickets, and the more you draft the better your chances of winning. And if you do luck out and get a great RB, your potential rewards are higher as well.

Biggest thing I learned about fantasy football (this year) is to draft ALL of the primary WRs on whatever team Peyton Manning plays for. And start them. Every week.

Tate.

seconded. josh gordon is hit or miss.

amendola is a good pick if he's healthy.

 

[eits]

idk, besides that monster game in week 6 you have not been missing too much. He has been pretty mediocre his past few games.

yeah, but i think i should have held out for a monster game and then traded him for a better running back, like ray rice or something.

i kept trying to trade for chris johnson whenever he was sucking bigtime at the beginning of the season, but the guy who owned him never set his lineup and was basically a waste of a manager. he never responded to any trade proposals one way or another.

Breaking news: Julian Edelman is on injured reserve, season over.

 

[Garming]

I am having playoff troubles...can't decide who to start.

RB: Doug Martin, Murray, SJax, Dwyer, Greene, Bryce Brown, Moreno
WR: Green, Wayne, Garcon, Decker,

Everyone has a great match-up but I am having doubts about decker and possible wayne. I may go with Martin, SJax and....Mo..reno? for my 3 rbs and Green+Garcon for WR...Am I crazy to sit Bryce or Wayne?

Jesus christ! That's not trouble...you're freaking stacked out the wazoo.

Haha, now I don't know who to play. I made 2 trades, trading Witten for Greene, then Howling+Wells+Fjones for Gonzo when he was on a 3week slump. And made a good call on getting Dwyer when Redman was hot, Moreno when Mcgahee went out instead of Hillman, then nabbed Bryce and Garcon last week.

Whoa, you're not starting Bryce Brown?

Here's my choice for your lineup:

RBs: Martin, Brown and Moreno. SJax is too inconsistent, Greene is bleh. Murray, depends on his health. Dwyer depends on Big Ben coming back.
WR's: Green, Wayne. Tough one between Wayne and Garcon IMO, but I would definitely bench Decker.

Thanks for the input! I am just intrigued with SJax because hes had 87 carries since the bye week. It seems like the Rams want to use him and the fact the he is playing buff is also tempting..But then there's the electrifying Bryce Brown...Decisions decision...

Sometimes I wish I didn't build such a strong bench haha.

 

[vi edit]

Tampa has a tough rush defense.

 

[spidey07]

You guys have crazy bench depth. We only have 4 bench slots in a 14 team league. Choosing who's going to give me 13 vs 17 must be rough in you leagues.

The only good part about my league is it separates the wheat from the chaff.

 

[leeland]

Out of these two who to start

A. Bradshaw vs N.O.
A. Morris vs Bal.

Same here

T.Y. Hilton Ten
M. Floyd @pit

Both the match ups seem even to me and I don't want to over think it!

Thanks in advance

I don't see how you can start any combination outside of:

RB: Martin, Murray, Brown
WR: Green, Wayne

DeMarco Murray over SJax and Moreno. Moreno proved he's an average back at best, and SJax has been inconsistent. Martin and Brown are no-brainers.

A.J. Green is another no-brainer start-every-week. Reggie Wayne is the number 1 receiver on a team that throws the ball the second most (behind the Lions). Garcon has been good since his return but you can't start him over Wayne, and Decker is in a slump. Just be happy you have so many great players so if someone goes down, you have backups.

Who do I start at qb?
Weeden - he was gold for me last week and has more overall points than cutler, also against kc defense
Cutler - very inconsistent but has been decent past couple weeks, against Miami this week

I'm leaning towards weeden against the kc d.

 

[Garming]

I like weeden, Miami has a pretty good pass defense. I almost lost my matchup this past week when brady got me 11pts.

I think cutler is better but look at the waiver wire. I like Chad Henne

We only have 4 bench slots in my league too and I call bullshit on that. 5 slots at least imo

Seattle is the hot pick for defense. Who is likely a good second off the waivers...

Cleveland at home vs. KC.

Cutler has the Vikings this week, not the Dolphins. Vikings haven't been a good defense at all lately, so even though Weeden's matchup is even better, I would lean Cutler.

Seattle is the hot pick for defense. Who is likely a good second off the waivers...

If you have the Seattle defense, start looking ahead to who you will play in weeks 15 and 16 to get a jump on your opposition. Indianapolis is good for week 16 only, they have the Chiefs. Cincinnati has the Eagles in week 15. St. Louis has been on a hot streak, scoring 3 defensive TDs in the past 2 weeks, and they get the Bills this week and the Vikings in week 15, but face the Bucs in week 16. The Lions have a good week 15 matchup as well, against the Cardinals.
