    First time playing fantasy and I'm looking for a little advice. I am pretty strong at the wr position starting Jeffery and A.J.Green with Maclin, Hilton, Jennings and Golden Tate benched. So I figured I'd use a wr in the flex the question is which one do you use?

    Tough one, but I'm leaning toward Maclin. The Eagles play the shitty Jags this weekend and should theoretically light them up. No Jackson means Maclin should be the clear #1, if he's still got it after missing all of 2013. Hilton is a tempting choice, but Denver's D is probably going to be pretty solid and it won't be a shootout. I still don't full trust Tate, but he might do well against the Giants, with DRC busy with Calvin Johnson all game.

    I'm starting AJ and Patterson with Tate as my flex, but I don't have a Maclin too. I've got Jennings on my bench.

    I guess Maclin tweaked his knee, so not sure how effective he'll be, but if healthy in that offense you have to figure he's the guy. Tate in that offense also isn't a bad choice.

    An embarrassment of riches!

    I would go with Maclin and if not I would go with Hilton. Like Stokes says, embarrassment of riches.

    Yeah I think Hilton has a big year.

    I was going with Maclin simply because Hilton is in denver this week. Long term I really like ty Hilton. The embarrassment of riches is giving me a headache

    Maclin is also playing Jax.

    I'm just psyched to see Tate torch theGiants Monday nite.

    I assume Colts/DEN will be a shootout, so I would play Hilton. It's a tough call though

    I've got five players for three spots (two WR and a Flex)

    Roddy vs. NO
    Colston at Atl
    Boldin at Dall
    Maclin vs. Jac
    CJ vs. Oak (obviously he can only start in the Flex)

    Roddy's my best player with the worst matchup, Boldin's my last pick with the best matchup. Maclin may light it up against the Jags but so might others. And Jacksonville's secondary/D isn't terribad. And who really knows just 'how' much work CJ gets against the Raiders?

    When we do this, it would help (at least for me) if you post your starting lineup with the corresponding roster spots/positions. Some leagues have different formats (for example, in my league we have two Flex spots). So, to try to give an accurate assessment, I'd like to see the roster laid out.

    I thought we had a "Sit'em or Start'em" thread. Shall I make a 2014 one?
