No tricks, I like writing, I like fantasy football, and I want to help you guys out. I watch a lot of football and spend quite a bit of time doing fantasy research, so I have an idea what I'm talking about here. So feel free to ask away, and I'll respond as quickly as I can!
0.5 PPR pick 2. I'm 90% going to start Charles, I think he's going to get a lot more carries this week since SF run D is so strong up the middle making TJones less of an option. So the main question is Nicks or Moss. I started Nicks over Moss last week and it almost cost me my win. That matchup vs STL looks mighty good. Do I go with Moss' better matchup and more targets to date or go with Nicks' upside (see week 1).
I have seen guys do this before and its pretty cool. Really have to spend a ton of time answering people though cause you could get overwhelmed with responses lol. I got one for you while we are at it.
In the league im talking about we have a QB2/RB3 slot. PPR league, all TD's 6 points. I could play either Sanchez or Tolbert who is starting at RB for the bolts this weekend. What do you think? Tolbert plays at Seattle and Sanchez plays at Miami.

D68Money: I would go with Sims-Walker. Despite the fact that the Jaguars were awful on Sunday against the Chargers, MSW actually put up some good numbers. Clayton is the number one guy in the Rams offense, but remember, this is a guy who had 5 catches in 5 years before this season. Don't get crazy. Plus, I feel like the Redskins defense is the toughest one that young Sam Bradford has seen thus far. SIms-Walker is the pick.
SilverZ: You had it exactly right when you said that match-up against the Rams looks tasty. The Rams D has played decent so far, but keep in mind that was against Arizona and Oakland. Donovan McNabb is a massive step up in quarterback quality, and I expect him to have a big day. This means big things for Santana Moss, he's the number one threat in this offense.
Meanwhile, Hakeem Nicks is the upside pick. The three touchdown day showed us what he's capable of. But consider the fact that he has another pro bowler across from him and a third string guy (Mario Manningham) with some serious talent, and it gets tough to figure out who is going to go off in any given week. Plus, I would expect the Giants to try to pound the rock a bit more after last week's debacle in Indy.
Sprewell: Interesting flex format in your league. I like Tolbert here, but neither is a particularly lucrative option. Wait another week on Sanchez, it was one game. When he proves he can play consistently, or at least when he gets a cushy matchup, then plug him in. But not against the Phins.
The news that Mathews is going to be rested is obviously great for Tolbert's value. However, the Seahawks' run D has been pretty strong so far this year, bottling up both Frank Gore and Knowshon Moreno. The Chargers do like to fling the ball to Tolbert out in the flats, so the PPR format definitely helps. But the best part of this matchup is that you know if Mathews isn't going, Tolbert is the guy for goal line carries.

Start Tolbert
