#1 I need help with my flex position. Already had J. Stewart play for a meager 2 points. also starting at RB is B.Scott since I have C. Benson Doubtful to play Vs Oakland.
at WR I am starting L. Fitzgerald vs Rams and R. Wayne vs Ravens
So I have leftover for my flex spot I need and answer to.
A. Bradshaw Vs Falcons which is 26th against the run and he keeps finding the endzone or
Chad 85. vs Oakland which is 14th against the pass. He is up and down this season and I look for the Bengals to lean on the run on the Raiders 29th ranked run D.

Then at TE I have
K. Winslow Jr vs Saints thats 19th against the pass and Josh Freemans favorite target or
Gonzo vs Giants. which is 2nd against the pass but weak against opposing Tight Ends

Last I picked up Detroit team D this week vs the Brownies, could be one of 2 things a 9 to 6 game or a shootout at 42 to 35. hell they may tie the game at 0!!! or
#3 Green Bay Team D vs the 49ers

Help me in my quest to make it to the championship, because I dont think theres any hope with 2 more losses to be able to compete for the honorable Toilet Bowl championship which I would win hands down!! LOL. WHIR as usual.

thanks for the help on mine, I still have Wells starting, like you say The Eagles throw too much to trust McCoy just yet.

The 1st one is a tough call. Cincy I underestimated this year. I have bradshaw, and until his foot issue, the broken bone, he was an every week guy as I am sure you know.

Now I have him benched but this week I think he could do pretty well. I might plug him in over #85, only because you are already starting B Scott, and I like to spread starters accross games in case I have more than 1 player involved w/ a low scoring game. I do not like the risk associated with his foot, but I read he has taken the boot off for practice this week. There is risk to him as you know, but it has been that way for the last month and a half. Oak is in such bad shape, Cin may just score on D and run the ball all day, who can say for certain. I am starting the Bengals D this week.

For your TE, I would start Gonzalez. he is Ryans safety blanket, and with turner injured I would not be surprised if Ryan has 50 attempts. 3 picks also Maybe, but so long as Gonzalez gets 9 or 10 catches you will be happy. I think Ryan may do decently this week, at least fantasy wise.

Tough call on the Defense. I would normally say GB def, but Josh freeman threw 3 td's on them recently and as you point out, CLE looks like a team in shambles. If they play for pride vs Det it could wind up being a 6-3 game or something, which still works for you.

Best of luck this week!

Who knows what Bradshaw will do this week. Go 85. I would start Gonzalez, but you'll be fine either way. Defense is a coin flip. Thanks for the help.

For flex: you roll 85 this week. Bradshaw has a cracked foot...and yet he still somehow rolls. No. I'm not afraid of Nnamadi and you shouldn't be either...he hasn't played well of late and Ocho moves around while Mr. Nnamdi stays static. You arre right...Cincy will probably run more vs. the matchup this week but you have two variable that you can't account for in this game...Scott is starting and Oak is rolling a new QB..that's new and you have no idea what those two things will add to this game. Sorry but Bradshaw on a cracked foot with Jacobs rested and still pissed about being labled a bust this year...I see Jacobs rolling and pounding while puting on a clinic this week. Roll 85.

TE: wow nice options. I have a feeling both put up similar stats this week. In Freeman's two starts Winslow has 159 yards and a TD. Tough to sit. NO will no doubt score big against TB this week leaving TB to throw all day long to keep up. Ryan on the other hand loves Gonzo almost to a fault. The problem this week for ATL is they're facing a rested NY team at home....the only solace you have is that the Giants don't have safeties...like none at all. Ryan needs to get his head staight and I see the Giants steam rolling Atl in this one...they will shut down Snelling which shouldn't be hard forcing Ryan to throw..which shouldn't be hard for him. Roll Gonzo.

Def: Both look good on paper but the Browns have nothing...like really...nothing. You roll Det.

good luck

Im gonna say 85, Winslow, and DET. 85 can't stay covered all day, and when he isn't big things will happen. Watching Ryan and Gonzo, it seems like they just dont have the same rhythm they did at the beginning of the year, plus with Ryan's recent troubles, Winslow is the best choice. DEF is sort of a toss-up, DET might do slightly better.

Thanks for the help with mine, good luck.
