Blackmon
Denarius Moore
Jennings
Crabtree
Rice
Lance Moore
Also I'm considering not playing Forte this week, Spiller is my flex so I'd move him up to my other RB along with Foster, it would give me an option to start another receiver but I'm not sure.
Okay, so I've clinched a playoff spot. Just kind of need a little advice on who to start. It doesn't really matter if I win or lose so I may just send out my B team to try and beat my buddy and rub it in his face. Who would you guys start?
Kaepernick @ STL or Rivers vs CIN
Pick 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 Flex
Rice vs PIT, Martin @ DEN, Ridley @ Miami, BJGE @ SD, Moreno vs TB
Jones vs NO, Marshall vs SEA, Jennings vs MIN, Blackmon @ BUF
This must be one deep league. Lol. Weeden's had some real clunkers, and at least with Locker you feel like there's some upside. I could see him ending up with a decent day (even if it's in garbage time).
It's an 8team 2 quarterback league. Have Romo and Vick. Since Vick's troubles I've been rotating Weeden and Locker.
Personally id go with Brees, just because its brees and i dont think there should be a situation where you bench him. But really you cant go wrong with both i guess.
Reece vs Cle
Ridley @ Mia
Jackson vs Jac
Bryce Brown @ Dal
Greene vs Ari
Ridley and Brown no doubt. I'm not a Greene fan at all, and Jackson's on the bad end of a split now. The weather's supposed to be terrible in Oakland Sunday, and I just don't see the Raiders risking playing McFadden, especially since they play the following Thursday. I'd gamble on Reece.

Weather's terrible in Oakland this weekend, Moore has two catches in two weeks, and Haden will be on him. He's out. Wilson's better at home and Tillman's probable so I'd sit Rice. I don't like starting guys their first week back, so I'd wait on Jennings. Comes down to Crabtree and Blackmon. The Rams are pretty decent against the pass, and Blackmon's really come on with Henne, so I'd go Blackmon. Word is Forte looked fine in practice this week so I'd roll with him and Spiller. I'd start Spiller over Forte though, so it'd come down to Forte or Crabtree.

Kaepernick without question. The guy is dynamic. Rivers is a turnover machine who's had one good week in the last 6.

Man those are some solid RB options. I think you gotta go Rice, Martin, and Ridley though. I will assume you already started Julio, so I'd go Marshall with your last spot.

Finley vs MIN or Rudolph @ GB
Finley's an afterthought in Green Bay, and is likely gone at year's end. Unless Rudolph is a late scratch (he's probable) I'd go with him.

Moore's matchup is all kinds of bad, and he's faded the past couple weeks. Blackmon's your best start of the bunch. For reasons I mentioned above I just don't think McFadden will play much (if at all) on Sunday, so I'd go Reece. I'd just like to get a week out of Jennings before I got him back in the lineup.

Felix Jones vs PHI
I would've said Felix but he's questionable and it sounds like Murray will suit up. KC is terrible and DWill should get 20 touches so I'd roll with him.

Kerley's out. I don't think McFadden will be much of a factor this week, making Reece still a solid flex, but do you start him over a guy who you know is the starter (who also has a decent matchup)? Fortunately they're both afternoon games, so if McFadden's out you go Reece, and if McFadden's in I'd go BJGE.

Matt Forte vs. SEA
Word is Forte looked good in practice so I think you gotta roll with him. KC's just been awful so I don't think you can trust Bowe. Bess and Moss are out simply because they aren't as good as the other options. I don't love Rice's matchup, so I'd give the nod to Crabtree.

I think you gotta go Forte and Reece. Far too risky to roll with DMC this week, assuming he's even active.

pick one
I think you gotta sit Moore based on the matchup. Hilton's been good this year but it's hit or miss. LaFell's gotten 22 targets over the past 3 weeks, and has put up back to back solid performances. He'd be third in the rankings, but I'd go LaFell.
Allright, trying to figure out my lineup for this week at the WR/TE/Flex (WR or TE, not RB's) positions. After this weeks waiver wire, here's what I have:
Dez Bryant - WR Cowboys (vs Eagles) - This guy is a lock already. Been putting up huge numbers lately... it took him long enough.
Cecil Shorts III - WR Jaguars (at Bills) - Also a lock. He has been huge for me ever since I picked him up back in week 7, and his new QB seems good for him.
Brandon LaFell - WR Panthers (at Chiefs) - Starting to get hot, and with Newton getting hot, I think he's probably in.
Brian Hartline - WR Dolphins (vs Patriots) - He's either feast or Famine, and for me it's been mostly famine.
Heath Miller - TE Steelers (at Ravens) - Usually good, but Big Ben is out, which diminishes his value greatly.
Antonio Gates - TE Chargers (vs Bengals) - Always ranked in the top 10 among TE's, but you just can not trust him. At all.
Jared Cook - TE Titans (vs Texans) - No idea, picked him up this week.
Dennis Pitta - TE Ravens (vs Steelers) - He had a good week last week and seems to have decent production, which is why he was on my waiver list this week.
And yeah yeah, I know.. *4* TE's? Well that's just how my waiver wire shaked out this week. Both Cook and Pitta were behind a WR and a RB, respectively, in my waiver wire lists, but I got neither of them and I ended up with both of these guys.
So: 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 WR/TE flex. I seem to have the three WR's in mind (Bryant, Shorts, and LaFell), but I have to use questionable goods for the TE and Flex spots.
Suggestions?
And among those, who do I drop if someone I want should show up on waivers in the future?
I'd go with Bryant, LaFell, and Shorts at WR with Gates at TE and Hartline at flex. I'd drop Cook first if you see someone on waivers you like.
Pick 2:
T.Y. Hilton @ Detroit
Knowshon Moreno @ Tampa Bay
Michael Crabtree @ St. Louis
Mike Williams @ Denver
Marcel Reece @ Cleveland
Darren McFadden @ Celveland
Brandon LaFell @ Kansas City
I'd go with Bryant, LaFell, and Shorts at WR with Gates at TE and Hartline at flex. I'd drop Cook first if you see someone on waivers you like.
That's what my gut is telling me too, for the most part... I just don't know if I can trust Gates down the stretch here. After next week my leagues playoffs start, and I'm looking for consistency, the single thing Gates isn't this year.
Really tempted to put Pitta in the TE spot, but to be honest my gut has negative feelings toward both of them.
