    No ppr.

    These are tough calls for me:

    Team One

    QB: Peyton Manning
    RB: Matt Forte
    RB: Arian Foster
    WR: Andre Johnson
    WR: Malcom Floyd
    TE: Dallas Clark
    Flex:? options: Ryan Torain @ IND, Ronnie Brown @ GB, Ryan Mathews @ STL, Roy Williams @ MIN

    I am leaning toward playing Ryan Torain.


    Team Two

    QB: Aaron Rodgers (Chad Henne on bench just in case Rodgers gets scratched)
    RB: Arian Foster
    RB: Jamaal Charles
    WR: Randy Moss
    WR: Malcom Floyd
    TE: Heath Miller (Aaron Hernandez on the bench)
    Flex:? options: Percy Harvin vs DAL, Marshawn Lynch @ CHI, Mike Wallace vs CLE

    I am torn between Percy Harvin and Mike Wallace...

    Who do you all think I should play?

    Well, the problem with Torrian v the Colts is, that game could easily become a shoot out with little running of the ball.

    I'd go Ronnie B in that week CiF.

    Second one, I'd go Lynch, as he is the Seachickens only option.

    My problem with Ronnie is that he hasn't done jack-squat this season in FF.

    Marshawn Lynch hasn't even played a game for the Seahags this year.

    Ryan Mathews is still injured somewhat.

    Indy's defense stinks...:lol:

    What do you think about Team Two's flex options?

    Team #2 has Mike Wallace (whom I just noticed) so you'd be best off going with him "if" you do not believe that Lynch will be used heavily by the Seachickens.

    In FF, what you want is a player who will see the ball..as much as possible.

    Example:

    Wallace: 5 catches 80 yds 1 TD

    Lynch: 30 touches 120 yds 2 Td's

    Seahawks have no other real option at Rb besides Lynch, the Steelers have Big Ben back, will he be sharp, or not?

    Indy also could go up 14-0 in the first Qtr, which means they pass more, which means Torrian is not used much.

    Matthews and Harvin.

    Matthews is allegedly healthy and supposed to get more carries this week.

    Harvin is a beast in ppr and should continue to put up big numbers with Moss taking a lot of the attention.

    I'm not seeing Harvin doing a whole lot with Favre's elbow problems, and SD is just a mess and likes to split time between Matthews and Tolbert.

    Lynch on the other hand, will be fed the ball as the Seachickens just dumped Deon Branch and do not have a #1 Wr type, so I'd think ground and pound is their game plan.

    Ronnie..

    We want to establish the run allegedly so he is the best option, Matthews still doesnt get enough carries ecspecially with Fat Tolbert getting GL carries.



    I like Wallace, Ben will toss it deep and the weather will be fine.

    Why? If anything, I'd think Harvin would get more work since he's in the slot and Farve wouldn't have to throw as far.

    SD says they want Matthews to get more carries.

    SEA has a very shotty OL and plenty of RBs to cycle behind it. I just don't think Lynch is good enough to put up big numbers in that situation.

    Exactly. And Favre had elbow problems against the Jets but still tossed 2 TDs to Harvin and went deep often for Moss.

    I think Percy Harvin is a solid WR2 or flex start for the rest of the year. What I worry about is Sidney Rice. He’s off the crutches as of last week and is getting ready to return in 2-3 weeks. That WR situation is a mess with Moss in there.

    Because they are going to run the ball more instead of throwing it, the Dallas game is a must win for both teams so why rely on Favre?


    Sure they say that, but why hasn't he already?


    Okung will play if one recalls, they tried to use LenDale White as a short yardage/goaline Rb, at the very least Lynch will do that for the seachickens, plus every Coach wants to showcase the player they made a move for.

    Letting Farve throw quick hitters to Harvin really isn't relying on Farve to win.

    Matthews still wasn't 100% so they limited him coming back.

    I think SEA would be happy trying to win a game instead of showcasing. There's also 2 good change of pace RBs there to catch passes.

    That is the last thing I am worrying about. The only reason I have a ? at flex is because Pierre Thomas is declared inactive for the third straight week...:pity:

    When he comes back most of my problems with them are solved. :up:

    I am trying to decide between Ronnie Brown and Andre Johnson. Johnson is going against the chiefs and flowers and i dont like that matchup while I do like Ronnie's this week but not sure if he will get me the point.

    FYI, my other WRs are Roddy White, H. Nicks, and MARSHALL

    Andre Johnson, imo. He is due a passing TD. I trust him but not Matt Schaub. :lol:

    Harvin is a no-brainer flex play.

    I bring up Sidney Rice because when he’s back, Favre will have four mouths to feed: AP, Moss, Rice, Harvin.

    Going with Ronnie Brown and Percy Harvin.

    If Ronnie doesn't produce for me today he will probably ride my bench the rest of the season.

    Best flex plays would have been Torain and Wallace.

    Even starting Ronnie instead of Torain I won by about thirty points.

    Playing Harvin instead of Wallace probably lost it for me. I am up by only eight points and he has MJD and Marcedes Lewis tonight...:sad:

    Wallace would have given me a nineteen point lead. Might not matter anyway if his guys produce.
