    I would say Jones- at home, New Orleans defense not great. Or Nelson, GB should score a lot of points Monday night. I also have Rodgers as my QB, and Jennings. They are killing it for me.

    CJ2K has done nothing all year- no reason to think he will start now. Lloyd is on the road, but against Cleveland, AJ Green is going against the Steelers defense.
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    I was leaning towards Jones. CJ hasn't done anything and I had him benched last week. However, he is playing against Carolina so that's why I put him in this list.

    Thanks!

    Pretty nice options you have there...

    I'd go Jordy Nelson....Rodgers is unbelievable and Nelson has definitely become his #2-3 option.

    I ended up starting Johnson. 24.4 points!

    I wish I benched gore and bowe but romo and foster made up the difference. Huge win in the money league! :)

    at my flex this week... do I start Shonn Green or Roy Helu? I'm leaning towards Helu.

    at my WR2, do I start Andre Johnson, Darius Heyward-Bey, or Laurent Robinson?

    I can't believe I'm considering benching Andre Johnson now that he's available... but they're playing a no-name rookie QB. I'm leaning towards Heyward-Bey.

    michael turner or reggie bush?

    texans have a great D while the raiders have given up quite a bit on the run ...

    Turner... no brainer. He's a RB1.

    Bey has done nothing....and andre Johnson is just getting back with a 3rd string qb.

    yeah... I know but... I think I'll just go with Andre Johnson. He was my #1 pick (11th overall) so he's healthy = start him.

    I like to go with difference makers/clear #1 target type of guys over guys that are the #3 option on their own team. volume guys usually will get you the Win.

    I'll throw in one guy that is hit or miss this week with Helu over Greene... who will get you 8 points every week, no more no less :D

    Turner... no brainer. He's a RB1.

    but it's all about match ups ... houston has the #1 ranked defense ... while oakland is like 26th ...

    It is about matchups sometimes...but dont you think Turner falls into the category of must start every week?? Too many people overthink it...

    i don't know if i would put him in that category ... he is not really an all purpose back where they throw him the ball also ... since week 9 - reggie bush has the same number of all purpose yards and double the TD's ...

    my league is ultra competitive ... i'm tied for first with a 7-5 record ... with last place being 5-7 ... i agree sometimes we overthink it but it's so tight right now ...

    Turner is on pace for 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns... he is currently #4 in the NFL in rushing yards and tied for #4 in rushing touchdowns...

    I'd certainly put him in that top tier of running backs that you always start, regardless of match up.

    edit: and in my league he is #6 among running backs in total fantasy points. Bush is #19.

    Week 13

    Have to pick one of the following as a WR3:

    Julio Jones
    Steve Breaston
    Harry Douglas

    Opinions would be appreciated.

    Big game this week - need to get into playoffs.

    Eli Manning or Cam Newton.

    Pts for rushing or passing TDs, Yardage bonues for more than 200 yds passing, and no penalties for ints.

    Here we go...It's playoff time!!

    This is what I got:

    QB-Romo
    RB-Foster
    RB-C. Johnson
    RB/WR-Gore
    WR-Dez Bryant @NYG
    WR-C.J. Spiller @SD
    TE-J. Finley
    Def-Seahawks
    K-Gostkowski

    Bench:

    B. Lloyd @SEA
    D. Bowe @NYJ
    J. Nelson @OAK
    Julio Jones @CAR
    A.J. Green @HOU
    B. Jacobs
    P. Hillis

    So....What do you think? I am debating over Dez Bryant and maybe CJ Spiller. However, the teams on the bench are playing some tough defenses. Maybe Jordy in for Bryant or Spiller. Spiller is nice because he is listed as a WR/RB.

    What would you do?

    Haha, that's what I was thinking but having some many damn Wr's is frustrating at times. I'm sure it is for the other guys as well since they would love to have a few of them :lol:

    Thanks!
