Lots of choices, so indecisive. WHIR

[vincentp83]

My league has 2 RB slots, 3 WR slots, 1 WR/TE flex and 1 WR/TE/RB flex. Basically, I need 4 receivers and 3 RBs, or 5 receivers and 2 RBs. I can't decide who to start since some of my players have tough matchups.

Here's the list of who I have, and who I am planning on starting. Please give me your best suggestions.

RB - Cedric Benson VS HOU (No brainer)
RB - Rashard Mendenhall VS CLE (Don't see why not)
WR - Mike Sims-Walker VS STL (Let's hope he doesn't screw me again this week)
WR - Steve Smith (NYG) VS NO
WR - Percy Harvin VS BAL (Hoping Baltimore's weak pass defense helps me out)
WR/TE - Mario Manningham VS NO (Kind of worried about having 2 giants receivers this week)
WR/TE/RB - Not sure. Below are my other choices.

We are in a small league, so I have a lot of backup choices. Here they are in all of their glory.

Ray Rice - Not sure about starting him VS Minnesota's run defense. I know he's been playing well, but if I'm not mistaken they haven't allowed a single rushing touchdown.

Ahmad Bradshaw - I don't want to stack my deck too heavily with Giants, since New Orleans is dangerous and I've already started two of their receivers.

Calvin Johnson - Probably injured, he boned me last week, I'm keeping him out until he's a definite positive.

Marques Colston - Replace Manningham with Colston? I know the Giants have not given up much in the way of passing yardage, but they have had a pretty easy schedule so far.

Reggie Bush - I'd rather not start him. He hasn't done a ton of work for me so far and I like Benson/Mendenhall or Benson/Other RBs much better.

for that last Flex spot, i think i'd go with Colston ... if Brees has a big game, Colston could always be a big part of it

i also have Mendenhall going this week, and not too worried about it.. he still looks like a good option especially vs the Browns... i also have Reggie Bush and most likely sitting him this week ... im also benching McGahee vs the vikings, and would do the same with Ray Rice if i had Benson/Mendenhall to play

as for starting 2 giants wr's .. its tough because their in Nola, but sometimes it can be good to start 2 Wr's from the same team... if one doesn't do much, theres a good chance the other will... so its kinda like an insurance policy

I dunno about starting Percy Harvin...I'd start Colston in his place and throw Rice into the flex spot. Thanks for the help on mine!

Agreed, gotta start Colston doesnt matter the matchup he's a big endzone target

Colston for sure.

Reggie Bush has screwed me all year long, CJ is injured.

Tough, but I say NOT Steve Smith this week only
and NO on Harvin this week only
Ray Rice is good if a PPR league, as I think Flacco will check down alot - Good for Todd Heap owners too.

Would you take out Smith over any of my other receivers? If I remove him and Harvin as others have suggested, I don't have enough receivers unless I replace one with Johnny Knox. I've been convinced to keep Colston. I don't really want to start Bradshaw or Reggie Bush so I'm going to stick Ray Rice in my WR/RB flex. That will leave me with Rice/Mendenhall/Benson as RB's. For receivers, I'd only be able to drop one or possibly two if Knox is a good pick, which I'm really unsure about. I will play Colston and Sims-Walker for sure, and I'll have to start either Smith or Manningham.

Do you get KR yardage? If so, Knox is a lock

And I would not remove Steve Smith (NYG), I meant Steve Smith (CAR), damn that is such a pain to specify every time isn't it!?

Sorry for the mix up

WR - Mike Sims-Walker VS STL (Let's hope he doesn't screw me again this week)
WR - Steve Smith (NYG) VS NO (No worries)
WR - WR/TE - Mario Manningham VS NO (No worries!!)
WR/TE/RB - Bradshaw - START HIM!!!

I would seriously try to trade for Eli Manning and get a nice triplett going. Keep week 9 bye in mind though.

Colston will be keyed on this week. Hard to sit him, but you have the options avail.

Believe it or not, I do have Eli. Since this is a small league, we each have 3 QBs. I have Peyton, Eli and Favre. I didn't want to lean too heavily on the Giants so I was planning on starting Favre, but I'll seriously consider switching to Eli. I think I'm actually going to take your advice and bank on the Giants. I know the Steve Smith thing gets confusing, sorry. Thanks a lot for your help!

Tandems are the future of Fantasy Football!!!!

I am starting McNabb, Maclin AND Desean this week!!! Double/Triple Pts!!!

Good luck this week!!!

With that Depth, you should be able to make a blockbuster trade before the deadline, which helps in making your decisions easier.
