Bradford might get a boost if Amendola comes back, so I'd lean that way.
Jones, Meachem, Moore. No faith in Tavaris Jackson throwing.
Turner Jones easily.
Green. Buffalo's secondary hasn't been too good, and Revis beckons for the Ravens.
Colston if he plays.
Freeman and Starks, but Grant got more action last game so that timeshare may not be very predictable.
=================
Now time for my team:
Need a flex play: Stephen Jackson or Devery Henderson? With Moore and possibly Colston back in the mix, don't know how productive Henderson will be.
Personally, I'd go Jackson. Henderson, especially with Colston possibly playing, is a big risk or boom/bust play, I just cant forsee him having another big day.

=====================
Need 1:
Shonn Greene
Denarius Moore
Ben Tate
David Nelson
Arian Foster should return with a vengeance this week, so I'd rule out Tate. Not really feeling Greene vs. the Ravens D. That leaves Moore and Nelson. I like what Nelson has done so far but Moore has a great matchup vs. that awful NE secondary, esp. if the Raiders fall behind early.
Thats what I was going with my real dilemma is Moore vs. Meachem. NE pass defense has been shredded lately and Colston returns for NO.
Between Moore and Meachem it's really no contest, gotta go Meachem. His size gives him a real advantage over Moore, especially in the red zone. Moore and Henderson are interchangeable but Meachem gives the Saints something those two can't. Even when Colston returns I still think Meachem is a must-start.
RB: Gore, BJGE, Tolbert, K. Hunter
WR: Wayne, Denarius Moore, J. Nelson, A. Brown, Titus Young
TE: Pettigrew
I was thinking...
RB: Gore/Hunter, BJGE (Tolbert looks useless now)
WR: Wayne, Moore
FLEX: J. Nelson/Pettigrew?
I don't see how you can count on BJGE for much right now. I'd play Hunter for one b/c Gore is banged up and might not even play; and Philly is 30th against the run. I'd probably play Tolbert in the other spot and hope he snakes a TD.
For the WRs, Moore for sure. Probably go Wayne or Nelson for the 2nd spot and put the other guy in the flex.

Everyone seems to have McCluster questions but I don't think you can play him with any sort of confidence until he (and the KC offense) demonstrate some proficiency. Play the other 3
I actually have one:
Denarius Moore vs. NE or LeGarrette Blount vs. Indy? PPR league. Leaning Moore here.
In a 2 QB league. My three QB's are Fitzpatrick, Bradford and Newton.
Week 1 I started Fitzpatrick and Bradford but the last two weeks I've gone with Newton over Bradford.
Should I stick with Newton (at Chi) or go back with Bradford (vs Was)? I figure Bradford is due but I don't know if I should do it...
Newton has been the best (fantasy) QB in football barring having to play in a hurricane, so you gotta go him and Fitz.

Torrey Smith, Boldin, or AJ Green?
I'd go Turner and Felix. Word is Colston will be eased in this week so I'd go McCluster. Green.

Agreed. Word is Grant won't play so that makes Starks almost a borderline RB1.

Tough call there. I know SJax is supposed to see more action this week, but he was limited in practice today which needless to say isn't a good sign. I'm not terribly high on Devery though so unless SJax suffers some sort of setback I'd probably lean him.

If Grant is ruled out I think you gotta go Starks.

Mathews was limited in practice yesterday, and missed practice today, so keep an eye on that. I think I'd probably go Gore/Hunter, Tolbert, Wayne, Moore, Nelson.

I think you gotta go Blount. Indy is terrible, so that means Blount should see 20+ carries and a TD.
Gore has killed me too many times this season. I'm thinking of starting Starks instead.
This is different. As an Eagles fan, I can assure you our run defense is as bad as it gets. Want to know how bad it is? We benched our starting WILL linebacker(rookie 4th round pick Casey Matthews), and replaced him with 6th round pick rookie linebacker Brian Rolle. I would not bench Gore if I were you. Steven Jackson torched us on the first play of the year before he got hurt, then Cadillac Williams put up 4.8YPC on us. Week 2, Michael Turner had 114 yards and a TD on 21 carries. And last week, Bradshaw put up 5.7YPC on us, and he and Jacobs combined for 95 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs. Do not bench Frank Gore. If you do, you'll regret it.
McCoy vs SF
Hillis vs Tenn
Mathews vs MIA
Turner @ SEA
need three to start.
Pretty sure McCoy and Mathews are the for sures, tough choice between Hillis (strep throat last week) and Turner (20 yards v/s Bucs last week)
McCoy and Mathews are definites. Tennessee has been strong against the run this year, and Seattle has been pretty good too. I would probably go with Turner.

Mathews was limited in practice yesterday, and missed practice today, so it's gonna depend a lot on his health for me. Gotta go McCoy obviously, and I think Turner will bounce back. If Mathews is definitely good to go for Sunday I'd start him, and if he can't fully practice Friday I'd go Hillis.

I hear what Billy's saying as Philly's run D has been that bad, but here's the way I look at it. Assuming Grant is inactive Sunday (it's looking that way) then you have Starks in arguably the best offense in the league going up against a pretty bad Broncos squad (I know their run D is pretty solid statistically, but in three games they got lit up by McFadden, kept Benson in check which isn't saying much, and limited CJ which every team has done thus far. The Broncos were 2nd worst in the league in run D last year), or Gore on a bad foot who could get hurt at anytime during that game and be out for the remainder of it. I don't think the risk is worth it there. Odds are Green Bay will have a comfortable lead and Starks will see the ball 20+ times.
Benjarvus Green-Eliis vs Oak
Sydney Rice vs Atl
Thomas Jones vs Min
Mario Manningham vs Arz
I wouldn't go near Jones. I'd say Manningham unless he suffers a setback, then Rice (especially if it's a PPR league). Ridley seems to be emerging in NE, so I'd try to avoid BJGE.
Newton @ Chicago, Freeman vs. Indy, or McCoy vs. Tennessee
Not sure who I'm leaning towards. Basically a toss-up between the first two at this point. Freeman was my QB but then I got Newton off waivers in week one and started him for the first time last week, but Chicago is beatable through the air.
2 WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1Flex. Leaning towards this lineup, but any advice welcomed:
WR: Santonio Holmes @ Baltimore
WR: Julio Jones @ Seattle
RB: Michael Turner @ Seattle
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew vs. New Orleans
TE: Greg Olsen @ Chicago
Flex: Brandon Pettigrew @ Dallas
One more flex question in a separate league. 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1Flex
RB: Adrian Peterson @ KC
RB: Cedric Benson vs. Buffalo
WR: Percy Harvin @KC
WR: Steve Smith @ Chicago
TE: Brandon Pettigrew @ Dallas
Flex: Jordy Nelson vs. Denver
Bench Options: DeAngelo Williams @ Chicago, Michael Bush vs. New England, Lance Kendricks vs. Washington, David Nelson @ Cincinnati
Just got David Nelson off waivers and am tempted to play him over Jordy.
