Grossman threw for 4 TDs against this Dallas D last year. I think this is a toss-up, Pittsburgh could run the ball a lot in their game. Grossman if you're willing to gamble, Ben if you want the guaranteed 15 points.
I'm not sure I want any KC back and even then I'm not sure McCluster is the one to own. Go Greene.
Lastly go Washington
Thanks everyone!
With Manningham not likely to play and Foster not 100% it turns out the only choice I have is who to start at flex.
Hines Ward or Dexter McCluster. I'm going with Ward.
PPR League, who to start at flex and WR position (two players)?
Bradshaw @ Phi
Boldin @ Rams
Devery Henderson vs Hou
Lloyd @ Ten
Holmes @ Oak
I'm leaning toward Holmes and Boldin, but I could change the latter with Bradshaw at flex. What's your opinion?
As the previous poster points out, Bradshaw hasn't done much, but he could break out at any moment and you'd be crazy not to start him in a PPR league.
For the WR spot...those are some good options. I'm actually leaning Boldin here but Henderson and Lloyd aren't terrible plays.
My Flex spot is between
Hines Ward vs Indy
or
Nate Washington vs Den
I'm leaning towards Grossman, McCluster & Nate Washington. I think Grossman could be in a shootout while Pittsburgh will run the ball vs Indy.
I would go with Grossman over Big Ben. The reason is pretty simple... the Steelers will run the ball down the throath of the Colts depleated defense and when they'll have the lead, they'll run the ball some more. The matchup is great, just not for Ben IMO.
I have McCluster as my RB2 cause he'll get between 10 and 15 touches. I'm in a PPR league and I can see him posting "Sproles" type numbers cause they'll probably throw 3 or 4 screens his way plus Cassell will dump off the ball when he'll see that Bowe is triple teamed and he has no other option.
That last one is a toss up. I'd go with Washington cause like I said, I think Tomlin will run the ball all day long.

Hines Ward or Dexter McCluster. I'm going with Ward.
Forget my previous post cause you already made your picks... lol.
Regarding your flex, you should go with Dexter McCluster IMO. The Steelers will be running all day long and Dexter will be getting some catches out of the backfield and he'll see around 10 to 15 touches.

If you are in PPR league, go with McCluster.
Yeah I'm not in a PPR league. McCluster has the big play ability but KC's offense is so brutal right now. The steelers running the ball scares me but Ward is soon due for a TD.
Eric Decker (DEN) vs. Tennessee
David Nelson (BUF) vs. New England
I'm leaning towards Decker with Eddie Royal and Brandon Lloyd banged up. However, Stevie Johnson is banged up for the Bills as well and Nelson could do alright.... especially during garbage time if the Bills fall back to earth and the Patriots start running away with the game. (I hope they will, I have Brady as my QB )

Any ideas?
Forced to choose between those 2 I might go with Nelson unless Lloyd and Royal sit. TEN isn't awful against the pass and I think asking Decker to put up big numbers every week is asking too much.
I hate sitting superstars, so I think you gotta go Nicks.

Agreed.

That was a coin flip for me on the waiver wire this week, and really is again in terms of their particular matchups. I think I'd lean Nelson here.
Fred Jackson
Ben Tate
Ahmad Bradshaw
Ryan Mathews
BJ G-E
Brandon Lloyd
Jackson, Mathews, and...
I'm a little torn between Lloyd and Bradshaw. Lloyd should get a good number of targets, but the Eagles do give up a good amount of rushing yards. I think you go with Lloyd, as I think both the Broncos and Giants will be in a position to pass a lot.
David Nelson, or should I be patient with Julio Jones?
Should i start Hillis (questionable with strep) or brandon marshall?
I'd do what I'm doing and monitor the situation up until kickoff (debating between Hillis and Shonn Greene myself)
I'm sure they'll pump him full of fluids but if there seems to be a consensus that this illness has weakened him, I may go Marshall, esp. if it's a PPR league.
