Post your lineup questions, share advice, ask for it, etc... HERE!

week 3:

I'm in a ($50) 16 team league... choices are VERY limited once injuries start happening!

locked in;

RB - M. Turner and S. Greene
WR - A. Johnson and B. Marshall
TE - J. Graham
DT - Philly
K - R. Gould

questions:

who do I start at the flex position?

Tolbert (RB) [questionable]
F. Davis (TE)
K. Moreno (RB) [questionable]
D. Hester (WR)
R. Helu (RB)

also... Matt Ryan (QB) is banged up. Do I start him or go with Kyle Orton? or pick up an available QB; M. Cassell or A. Dalton?

THANKS! :D

    man that's not looking good for you. Hightower is going to be replaced by Helu this year... maybe sooner than later.

    But yeah, Foster is probably out this week, so play Hightower while he is still the starter for Washington.

    My 3 starting WR's are:

    Greg Jennings
    Roddy White
    Steve Smith (CAR)

    I have Deion Branch on the bench but with the yardage Brady has been racking up, should I start him? And if so, who should I bench? Having a tough time with this one.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    9/29/04 Boston, 6/28/08 Mansfield, 8/23/09 Chicago, 5/15/10 Hartford
    5/17/10 Boston, 10/15/13 Worcester, 10/16/13 Worcester, 10/25/13 Hartford
    8/5/16 Fenway, 8/7/16 Fenway
    EV Solo: 6/16/11 Boston, 6/18/11 Hartford,

    you can't bench Jennings or White, unless they're injured.

    Steve Smith is putting up huge numbers and I'd stick with him for now.

    Branch is a good option too... but not quite as good as the other 3, IMO. you're loaded at WR!

    this will likely depend on info that is provided at 12:55pm on Sunday, but...

    Ben Tate or Ahmad Bradshaw in a 0.5 ppr?

    if you want to play it safe, then stick in Davis in there... but i would wait until Tolbert's status is provided... Chargers should be running the ball a good bit in the second half this Sunday.

    yeah that's what I was thinking. It disgusts me to think about putting a TE in my flex spot, but it does seem like a smart play. I think Helu is an interesting option as the season goes along. Tolbert is hit or miss... week 1 he had 3 touchdowns. Hester sucks. Moreno is a question mark.

    I would normally agree... but he didn't look good last week (the other SD back is clearly better) and he is listed as Questionable. If it looks like he'll play closer to Sunday, then you're right.... Tolbert is the easy pick.

    He is going to play. And he is the better back. Mathews may be faster, but Tolbert does everything else better.

    they are using matthews as a combo back ... he's getting as much rushing yards as passing ...

    edit: also, they are playing KC this week ... should be fantasy bonanza for everyone on SD ...

    hmm... yep I think Tolbert it is...

    however, I'm sticking with my guns on Mathews. I watched the game last Sunday... he is dynamic with the ball... a star in the making. Tolbert is the dependable h-back type that will get you 3 yards and a cloud of dust and has good hands out of the back field.

    I have a serious QB issue. Peyton Manning was suppose to be my starter. My back up is his lil bro Eli who is doing ok but his week 3 matchup projections seem terrible with all of his hurt WRs and strong Eagle's corners.

    Should I pick up and start:

    M Hasslebeck? Kyle Orton?
    or Rex Grossman? over Eli?

    pick up Rexy and start him this week. I've seen him ranked as high as the #10 QB this week.

    Yeah..originally we talked Maclin for Beanie and Wayne but I didnt want to move Maclin

    yeah that is great for you... just keep in mind Hightower is going to see his carries reduced as the season goes along. Helu is just more talented... and this is pretty much consensus opinion as of right now.

    I hope you played Tolbert!

    I actually have both these guys. Helu, I read, is "too talented" to remain a backup for long, and will supposedly be worth stashing. We'll see about that.
