Bleh! Regretting not acting on Moreno when I had the chance. I was waiting to see if Murray practiced that day (would have been, and was, Murrays first day back at practice) before I picked up Moreno.

What I should have been doing is looking at dropping Sproles for Moreno instead. Oh well, hindsight and all that jazz. Still have Bryce Brown, Alf Mo, Murray, and Sproles, so I'm not hurting per se.

Ack, another tight end merry-go-round. Myers gets 1 catch for 7 yards on just 2 targets. The WRs really took over the passing game, with Heyward-Bey, Streater, and Moore getting 6, 7, and 8 targets respectively.

Glad I played Moreno, although it was more out of necessity than anything. Past couple weeks he was looking more like a high-floor player, someone who'd get a lot of opportunities but wouldn't do a whole lot with them. But he did a great job and helped pick up the slack for Myers on my team.

You still got Bryce Brown, who I passed up a couple weeks ago when I first learned that McCoy would be out. Probably the number 1 waiver pickup of the year next to Alfred Morris. Honestly with how badly Philly had been playing and with how much they had been underutilizing McCoy, I didn't have high hopes for a backup to come in and steal the show.

Sproles is kind of crappy though. Unless you're in PPR or get points for return yards, he's just not very usable. He's essentially a WR now, and generally you would rather have your RB slots filled with RBs for the more consistent points.

But yeah with Brown and Alf you're basically set.

Damn Myers got me too, I figured he wouldnt have as much success as last week, but figured he would get at least half the number of targets as last time. Oh well.

@AstroManLuca. True. I do have some great RB's, so I really shouldn't be complaining. I had actually picked up Moreno of waivers in week 1 or 2 (after he got a TD) and held on to him for a couple of weeks, but he didn't do shit after that (not really his fault, they just didn't play him).

So to see him perform now, well, I figured he sorta owed me for having faith in him early on, haha!

As far as Brown goes, I just hope Andy Reid doesn't do something stupid like pull him for McCoy if McCoy returns. I doubt that'll happen, but ya never know with that team.

Glad I sat Marcel Reese. The fantasy show I listen to was saying he'd be a better option than McFadden. 1 point

My opponent got 17 from Palmer go figure, I got 1 point from Janikowsi. Bad start.

Need help deciding D/ST for this week.

I have Hou (vs NE) and SD (vs Pit). Can also pick:

1. Cin vs Dallas
2. St. L vs Buf

What do you think? Don't think Hou is a good choice. So I can start SD (vs Pit) or pick one of the two above. Final week of regular season for me.

FWIW, Buffalo's starting center is out for the next few games. If last season is any indication, it could be a field day for turnovers for the Rams defense. Also of note, Buffalo's starting right tackle was placed on IR this week... so we get a new guy manning that position as well, along with a newly signed UDFA rookie manning right guard (the existing right guard is sliding over to center).

Hey KT...need to either beat you this week or hope the Stillers lose.

Off to a good start with that Moreno pickup earlier this week.

Edit: If I beat you then theres a good chance I'll move up to 3rd

Yeah saw that TJ. Not liking my chances this week; I am thinking this could be calamitous week for me in fantasy across the board.

What sort of league is the ATOT league? Keeper, ESPN/Yahoo? PPR/Standard scoring?

We have four leagues.

12 team 0.5 PPR
12 Team PPR
12 Team PPR
8 Team PPR Keeper league

KT

Good to know. Thanks!
Cinci was gone so just picked up Rams D/ST. Will be starting them!

Darren Sproles vs Pierre Garcon. It's a 1/2 ppr league and return yards are 1pt per 30.

I'm really torn here. I need two w/t spots from

Ty Hilton
Hakeem nicks
Heath miller

I'm thinking nicks to the bench given injury an lack luster performance. Ben back for miller so good start but no blow up potential like nicks. Hilton has luck at home against titans.

Damn this a tough call. Hardest I've had all year, playoff to boot.

Other w/t are Julio jones and Pierre garçon who I consider must start.

I think Heath miller has more consistecy but you never know with a tight end. Hilton has least consistency but bigger upside. Nicks, well, I keep with him for some reason because of blow up that rarely happens.

Ps Dallas Clark still available in most leagues.

I'd go Morris. But that's just because I'm playing him and hoping for a monster day against a weakened ravens d. Bradshaws great right now too. Pretty sure eithers a safe bet. Saints have allowed most points to opposing rb's

There may be a winter storm during the Packers/Lions game tonight. Should I start Lance Moore over Greg Jennings?

I am in WI and it is snowing decent here about an hour south of Green Bay.

The game is going to be interesting to say the least, don't know how well they will be passing.
