    Jacquizz Rogers, possibly Joquie Bell if I can pick him up once he clears waivers, or Darren Sproles? I have Reggie Bush but if he's injured I need someone to throw into the fire haha.

    Floyd won't be playing any time soon. I'd go Hilton, and Brown. Austin is fine too though.
    Too late to respond with the Jackson part, but I hope you picked both Jackson's, and Cobb.
    Tough, really a wash with all.
    I'd go Austin.
    I'd take Gio. Starks will start though.
    I'd say Sproles if ppr, otherwise Bell.

    I really don't ask about these that often, but I'm really torn with a few spots.

    PPR league, RB - Pick 2. ~ Ridley vs TB, Spiller vs us, Lamar Miller vs ATL, Gio Bernard vs GB.

    Same league now, without Gronk I have to decide between a whole bunch of nothing... ~ Winslow, Dallas Clark, Garrett Graham, Vance Mcdonald, Jordan Reed, Scott Chandler...

    Another league I have a bunch of questionable backs, and need to go with 4. ~ Starks vs Cincy, Bell vs Wash, R Mathews vs Ten, D Richardson vs Dallas, Pierce vs Houston, Ivory vs Buf, Gio vs GB, Snelling vs Miami..

    I don't know if I would start Spiller. I have Spiller in my standard scoring league and I'm not starting him. Part of it is because I don't want to root for him against the jets, but the jets run D is crazy good so far. Not to mention he's splitting carries with Jackson now.

    Yeah I'm not starting him. He's one of my favorite non jets, and I have a ton of faith in him, but I have much more faith in our run d. On top of that, Jackson is getting a lot of carries as well. That being said, I also don't have much faith in starting Giovani, Ridley, or Lamar Miller.

    you could roll the dice with Turbin. he's probably available on waivers. real possibility that game gets out of hand and they let him run down the clock to give marshawn some rest.

    if you're reaching for tight ends keep an eye on Housler from Arizona

    Trent Richardson (vs. 49ers) or Bernard Pierce (vs. Texans)?

    I am thinking Pierce is the right move, but I am excited to see what Richardson can do with the Colts. I expect Richardson to be a factor in the passing game.

    Go with Richardson. He's a much safer choice and as you said should be a factor in the passing game.

    FLEX: Which one?

    Jordan Cameron v. Minnesota w/ Brian Hoyer at QB
    OR
    Anquan Boldin v. Indianapolis

    Right now, I'm leaning towards Boldin. I know he was shut down last week, but he has a much better matchup this week and I don't trust Brian Hoyer to get Cameron the ball.

    I would go with Boldin.

    Seriously in a tough decision - should I take a leap of faith and start Bernard Pierce against the Texans? Ray Rice is doubtful. Or should I start Miles Austin against the Rams?

    Okay, I've got

    Maurice Jones Drew v. Indianapolis
    or
    Chris Johnson v. Jets

    I'm really torn because all CJ2K has to do is break one run, but he has a very tough matchup against our run D. MJD seems to shit on the Colts annually.

    colts D has been pretty good this year and MJD has not been his past self so far this year. I don't like CJ either especially not against us. that's a really tough one. go with your instinct. I'm leaning MJD but If you go CJ and he gets shut out then hey that's good for us IRL, if he breaks one then hey at least that's good for your fantasy team.

    Trad scoring

    this is a tough one:

    Sproles vs Miami
    Moreno vs Philly
    Mathews vs Dallas

    please say why, thanks

    Moreno could have a bounce back game vs Philly who blitzes almost every play

    Mathews still getting maj of carries, Dallas seems to always give up a lot of yards

    Sproles is a playmaker I'll be pissed if I finally bench him and he scores a TD

    If it were PPR, I'd say Sproles easy, but traditional scoring makes it tough. I think I'd go Moreno. He probably has the best chance at getting into the endzone.

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna go MJD. He'll probably get in the endzone this week. He'll probably catch a couple of passes too.

    I'm confused, is Cameron available as a flex option or no? If he is, start him. The guys is a TD machine. If he's not, go with Gordon. Those guys are really the only options the Browns have. No Trent Richardson anymore. Hell, the Browns put the ball up like 50 times last week.

    To be honest, I really don't like Avery at all.
