    Pick 1:

    Steve Smith @ Chi
    AJ Green @ Buf
    Lance Moore @ Jac
    Mike Williams (TB) @ Ind
    Mario Manningham @ Ari

    Leaning towards Manningham if he plays. Smith is always intriguing now with the way Cam is slangin the football around. IDK who to take.

    AJ Green.

    I think that game will either be a shootout or Cincy will be playing catch-up. Green will probably go off, especially if it's PPR.

    1. Green
    2. Smith
    3. Williams
    4. Manningham
    5. Moore

    I agree but Buf is going to key in on Green hard. He's the one I'm most hesitant on putting in honestly. My ranking at this moment look like:

    !. Smith
    2. Manningham
    3. Moore
    4. Willaims
    5. Green

    Nothing against the talent of Green because he's easily the most talented out of the 5. If he was on any team besides Cin, Sea, Jax, or Min he'd be starting every week

    I could also bench Jahvid Best this week @ Dal and start 2 of these WR's

    That's a lot of good options. I'd probably go Steve Smith.

    The Seahawks are terrible. They don't get to play the Cardinals and their awful secondary every week, so no.

    pick 1 QB

    Sanchez vs ravens
    Newton vs bears
    Campbell vs patriots

    everytime i haven't played sanchez i got burned. obv the ravens are a tough d but hasselback had a great game against them and i suspect we'll be throwing a lot this game. I'm a little worried about Cam vs Julius peppers and company. they sucked against the saints and were mediocre against the packers but they ate the falcons alive. and the carolina offense isn't anywhere as good as any of those 3 teams.

    campbell is my wildcard play (I'd pick him up off waivers). since the patriots defense/secondary is garbage

    manningham's been a bit disappointing in the 2 games he's played this year. last year he was a stud as the #3 wr on the team. but the cardinals secondary has been pretty atrocious

    I think steve smith will have a big play or two. it's really a coinflip on those two

    felix jones (he's full go at practice. i'm starting him this week too)
    steve smith

    wayne will still get targeted and he had a good first game (put up 20 points for me) but that offense is so atrocious right now there's not much upside. steve smith is always a big play threat and there's more upside for a big game than wayne

    Trying to decide the flex, non PPR league: Pick 1

    Jahvid Best vs Dal
    Eric Decker vs GB
    AJ Green vs Buf
    M. Manningham vs Ariz.
    B. Tate vs Pitt


    For some reason I wanted to start either Decker or MM (hunch) other than that I can't figure out what is the correct play here.

    I think Best is your best bet, no pun intended.

    Decker should be covered by Woodson and GB will have the ball all game.
    Green will be doubled covered all game.
    Manningham is your second best bet but coming off a weekout he maybe off a bit or limited.
    Tate against the Pitt run D is a no go IMO.

    For me, if i was you, I'd either choose Best or Manningham. Both have the best shot at doing well. I picked Best over MM because RB in fantasy are always the better bets. And Best shpuld have a good game against Dallas since they will be looking for the pass too megatron all day.

    I'd probably go with Sanchez. Cam might have a decent day, but I just have a gut feeling he won't.

    Flex Starter, .5 ppr

    Mike Williams (TB) vs. IND
    Frank Gore vs. PHI
    Davone Bess vs. SD

    The matchup works in Gore's favor, but I got real burned by him last week. I still think he's going to get it going soon. Miami could end up having to throw the ball quite a bit vs. SD so Bess will get his targets.

    I don't like the match ups of Sanchez because of the Ravens front 7 and Ed Reed nor Chicago against a rookie QB. Although Campbell is a poor fantasy QB, he is playing a completely awful defense. I don't think he is a bad pick this weekend.

    I sometimes think that when you have a lineup decision to make you might as well flip a coin. Last week, at a different message board, I asked if I should start Brandon Pettigrew or Fred Davis. The multiple respondents all said to start Davis hands down. As it turned out Pettigrew scored 27 points in my league (11 for the catches, 11 for the yardage and then 5 bonus points for having eclipsed the 100-yard mark) and Davis was in single digits. I still won the game but the additional points would have been nice.

    RBs- LeSean McCoy, Steven Jackson, Jonathan Stewart, Stevan Ridley, Ronnie Brown
    WRs- Brandon Lloyd, Stevie Johnson, Eric Decker, Denarius Moore, Mario Manningham, Robert Meachem
    TEs- Brandon Pettigrew, Fred Davis

    2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, and 1 RB/WR/TE

    Who should I start?

    RB- LM, SJ
    WR- S. Johnson and Lloyd (especially if PPR league)
    TE- Pettigrew (hot offense)
    WR/RB/TE- Decker (same as Lloyd)

    It's tough as you say, there are a few coin flips in your line up. D. Moore is intriguing because the Pats defense sucks.

    Torn between which QB to play

    Roethlisberger vs. Houston
    Romo vs. Detroit

    both games could end up being a shootout
