Pick Three: Adrian Peterson @ Det Jamaal Charles vs. SD Mikel Leshoure vs. Min
Darren Sproles @ GB
Alfred Morris @ TB
Pick Two: Hakeem Nicks @ PHI Miles Austin vs. CHI
Torrey Smith vs. CLE
Nate Washington @ HOU
RB's: I think Peterson and Charles are no brainers personally. I still can't trust a Shanahan RB (that's just a personal bias) so it would be down to Sproles or Leshoure. I do think GB/NO is going to be a shootout so Sproles should get plenty of looks through the air but i have a gut feeling that the Lions are going to lean on LeShoure if Hill is starting. That's a tough call though.
WR's: Washington against the Houston defence is the only one of the four that's a total no-go the way i see it. I think Nicks is a must start if he's healthy given the way that Eli has been playing lately. Austin vs. Smith is the tossup here. I like Smith's matchup far more (no Haden in the lineup).... I just wonder about how he'll be coming off a short week given everything that has happened. I realize the Dallas offense has been sputtering lately but it's too good to struggle for an extended period IMO.
I'm actually leaning towards Schaub at the moment based off last week's performance, he's at home and the fact that Cam has been pretty inconsistent.
Funny, I have this exact dilemma in one of my leagues right now. Did some reading and Schaub actually has better stats in his last 4 outings vs. the Titans (300 yds passing, 2.5 TD's) vs. Newton's two outings vs ATL (300 Yds passing, 1.5 TD's and a couple of picks).
That said, I know his been ridiculously inconsistent this year... but I'm going Newton. I still think that the Texans scoring is going to be driven by Foster/Tate. Meanwhile, you already know that ATL is going to put up massive points which might force Newton to abandon the run game (although he is their run game too in a lot of ways). The guy is their scoring in the redzone and I think he'll get his points accordingly.
Thanks. What do you think about sitting Newton and picking up Dalton? He's got some good matchups coming up in Jacksonville and Miami.
Trying not to give up too quick on Newton but this week won't be easy for him.
I think it would be a great move. I would also be hesitant to regulate Newton to 2nd QB but picking up Dalton is a win-win for you. Aside from week one, he's been great.

That's exactly how I have it set right now and what I was leaning toward actually. Good to see this affirmed. Thanks.
1 qb:
Andy Dalton vs Jac
Tony Romo vs Chi
Shaun Hill vs Min (if he starts)
1 te:
Tony Gonzalez vs Car
Vernon Davis vs NYJ
3 flex:
Ryan Mathews vs KC
Mikel LeShoure vs Min
Ryan Williams vs Mia (with Beanie being on the ir now)
Brandon Lloyd vs Buf
Shonn Greene vs SF (ouch)
Play both tight ends
Week 1: 3rd most points, opponent Most points.
Week 2: 4th most points, opponent 2nd most points.
Week 3: 2nd most points, opponent Most points.
Luckily in this league, we get paid for most regular season points, along with Top 3 of 14.
So at least my team is performing and my bad luck has to turn around at some point..
Dez Bryant is pissing me off. Seriously considering starting Andrew Hawkins over him this week. 3 straight weeks out-performing him.
I have Bryant as well and he is really ticking me off too. I also have Hawkins and he's my WR2 at the moment. Now if only Garcon would get healthy, cause he seems like he might actually produce, unlike Bryant.
Anyway, its Running Back time.
Pick two:
Ryan Mathews(SD)
Michael Bush(Chi)
Andre Brown(NYG)
And after all three looked to have big upsides last week (and Brown and Bush did, and I'm glad I started those two), all three look to have vastly reduced roles in week 4. Mathews is apparently in the coaches doghouse for that fumble, Bush is going to be pushed back as the starter returns to the lineup, and so is Brown.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis / DeAngelo Williams / Josh Cribbs
which 2 should I start?
I'd definitely go Green-Ellis. As far as the other two, I'm not too confident in either one at the moment. I guess I'd start Williams over Cribbs given Cribbs has really shown much offensive flare this season yet.
Your flex could go a couple of different ways depending on who you are higher on. I'd personally ride Rudolph while he is hot. Detroit was carved up by Jared Cook last week and Vernon Davis had a decent game if I can remember against Detroit a couple weeks back.
