Keller for Lewis seams ideal to me. Even though Pitta was great on Monday night, Baltimore has Ed Dickson as well, so it's difficult to say after one week whether or not Pitta will be the go to guy all season at TE for Flacco. Lewis is also a gamble with Gabbert at the helm, but he's a safer pick at this point because of the competition Pitta might face from Dickson.

I wouldn't drop Santonio quite yet. He was the Jets most targeted receiver in week one, although Hill & Kerley got the TD's. I still he think he's their #1 receiver, but Sanchez definitely likes Hill too. All those guys are at best #2 receivers on their respective teams so that's where it gets tricky.

Kerley is a good option if your league factors in punt return yards, but having two WR's from the same team is not recommended. Roberts looks to be the #2 in Arizona (Nine targets last week. Two less than Larry & five more than the next receiver) & with Fitzgerald drawing top coverage, could also be a viable option. Just keep in mind with Roberts how poor Arizona's passing game is with Skelton (14-28 last week). Gibson seems to be the #2 in St Louis despite the addition of Steve Smith in the off-season. Amendola is the #1, but he missed 15 games last season & Gibson got the red zone look last week, so that's something to keep in mind. Aldrick Robinson is a tough one to call because Garcon was knocked out of the game early last week. RGIII spread the ball around to everyone & I think he will continue to do so, which is why I wouldn't gamble on him this early quite yet.

I would go for Hill, but at 8th in the waiver list, you probably won't get him. All these other guys are viable options, but they all got TD's in week one so they probably appear to be better options than they really are. Gibson & Robinson pose the biggest risks at this point, but it's to early in the season to really tell. Roberts would be a safe bet if he didn't play in Arizona, because Skelton is not a very good passer & got hurt last week. Kolb tossed him the TD, so if they roll with him, he could be a good choice, but Arizona is to bad on offense to say.

Grazie..... didn't end up making any moves on the TEs... Lewis was grabbed ahead of me. As was Hill. Did land Kerley, I liked him better than Hill because my league factors return yards.

I'm pretty stocked at WR... now I just need a 2nd RB

Ok so I have Rice/Murray at RB and Green/White at WR that are set. Who should I play at my flex between Mike Wallace and Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis? Obviously Wallace has a harder matchup with what I'm assuming will be Revis, but Cleveland's D did look good so I'm hesitant at play the law firm.

WR: Need to start one other opposite Calvin Johnson

Wes Welker
Kevin Ogletree
Stephen Hill

I think it's down to Welker or Hill. I already have DeMarco Murray as a RB, so I don't him and Ogletree stealing points from each other.


as for QB: Cutler vs GB or Vick vs Baltimore

The league I'm in is a reduced scoring system. Cutler scored 10.96 points last week, and even with Vicks horrendous game, he still managed 7.94. I suppose Cutler is the safe choice, but you never know when Vick could go off. Seems less likely vs Baltimore though.


Maybe I just made my own decision on QB

League setup? Ie on average if both get 100 yards and a td... Who gets you more points? Personally I'd start Wallace


Anyone know the status of Jennings... He's riding the pine right now for me because he might not play

Brownies D will be gassed in the 4th Qtr with our lack of depth.

Ellis will start to churn out yards then. I'd say him over Wallace.

I second this. Wallace hasn't had a 100-yard receiving game in 11 games. Revis is questionable with a concussion, so I would wait & see if he plays on Sunday. If he plays, Wallace is likely to draw him in coverage, although Champ Bailey was covering Antonio Brown more than him last weekend. Tough to say at this point, but I'm not high on Wallace vs. the Jets this week.

Green-Ellis ran for 91 yards on 15 carries (5.1 avg) against the Ravens & looked good doing it despite hardly being a factor in the 2nd half when Baltimore opened up a big lead. If Bernard Scott is out for Sunday, this is a given flex play to me at least. He's going to get almost every carry & is a great red zone threat.

Just looking back at the disaster that was last night - the whole reason
I drafted Marshall was that I knew Cutler would force passes too him. Even with nothing available. He's a gun slinger. Game 1 made me look smart as Cutler did exactly what I expected. How many times should have have looked elsewhere when he went to Marshall? Quite a few.

But Christ's sake Jay - you couldn't do me the kindness of trying to squeeze a few to the big man when I need it?

2.40 points from Marshall. Pathetic.

The only redeeming thing about this game; my opponent was starting Cutler :slappy: So as long as Breesy does his thing (Against Carolina I"m sure he will) then I feel pretty good about my matchup this week.
