Luck. Wilson is a strong play too, but weather could be an issue in NY on Sunday.

Russell Wilson or Andrew Luck?

Missed the previous paragraph. The Cowboys should have the better match-up this week if only because the Bucs are so careless with the ball. They’re also in a tail spin. We like the Seahawks too but could easily see the Bears employing a conservative game plan which limits Seattle’s ability to force turnovers and put points on the board.

Did you go with Ryan tonight? Let’s assume you did because the Jags D was a more attractive option than Newton vs. the Texans.

For your WR’s, we’d pick up Santana Moss and plug him in ahead of Laurent Robinson. The Bucs are horrible and it’s unlikely the Cowboys will need to pass a lot in this one. The Giants pass D is really susceptible now and Moss typically plays well against NY.

For your RBs, Helu and MJD are solid starters, but we’d plug Maclin / or Robinson in as your flex ahead of Barber. The Seahawks run D is actually a team strength and Mendenhall won’t do anything vs. SF.

Don’t worry about Janikowski this week. He’ll be fine. The Raiders have been blown out the past two weeks on the road but play much better at home. The Lions also give up a lot of points these days.

We’d rank the defenses this week in the following order:
1. Ten, 2. Arz, 3. Saints, 4. Lions, 5. Miami.

Good luck.

Let’s assume you started MJD which would have been our top recommendation… the next two would be Kevin Smith and Brandon Jacobs (especially in leagues that favor TDs) or Mark Ingram, although the Vikings run D is pretty good.

Frank Gore has a horrible match-up on Monday Night and hasn’t done much against the better defenses, and Maurice Morris won’t play much unless Smith gets injured. Pierre Thomas is the 3rd option when Ingram is healthy.

Check back closer to Sunday to see the final injury report, but it’s looking like Smith and Jacobs are the two best plays this week.

Cruz, Marshall and A Brown if Roethlisberger is playing. If he’s out, then go with Bryant for the 3rd WR.

A Johnson is still injured I believe and Houston is not going to rush him back until he’s close to 100%.

I would pick Victor Cruz, Antonio Brown, and Brandon Marshall. Cruz is on fire, Antonio Brown has the most passes thrown his way and they are usually downfield and B. Marshall is really the only viable fantasy receiver in Miami… not to mention M. Moore has been playing pretty well. Andre Johnson is injured and being thrown to by Yates (Third String) and I wouldnt be surprised if he is kept benched to keep him healthy for the playoffs. Dez Bryant is hit and miss, with Romos favorite target Laurent Robinson in the picture and miles austin back (not to mention Felix Jones, Jason Witten), the ball will be spread around quite a bit.

I was 10-3 in the regular season (2nd in a 10 team league, standard). Normally I have very few issues setting my lineup but this week I am really struggling. I have to choose between C. Newton and M. Ryan at QB. Normally I wouldnt hesitate but I feel Ryan has more upside due to a bagged up Jags secondary.
I lost M. Forte, A. Johnson (again), and have been waiting on Jeremy Maclin. Currently I have Demarius Thomas and Laurent Robinson set to start as my active WR. I also have the option of picking up Santana Moss who has good matchups Wk. 15 &16 and dropping Matt Forte or Andre Johnson who most likely wont be any use this week or next (this would be painful to actually do though).
For RB’s I have Mendenhall vs. SF, which would be extremely risky. MJD and Roy Helu will be active… So I am not sure whether to play Mendenhall or Marion Barber as my flex. Im leaning towards Marion Barber.
Janikowski is my kicker but the past two weeks the raiders have been down by so many points, Field goals are not really an option. Even though Detroit gives up alot of points to kickers, they also are a high scoring team. It seems likely that Oakland falls behind quickly again and there will be no chances for field goals.
Lastly, I am holding onto both the Seattle Def. and the Cowboys Def… TB has been giving up massive points to Defenses and now that Forte is out and Caleb Hanie is QB, the markedly improved Seahawks Def. should be able to have a big game. Defensive matchups that interest me (and are available) are: Detroit vs. Oak, Mia vs Buf., Ari vs. Cle, Saints vs MN, and Ten vs. Ind.
The good news is that if I can make it through this week and into the Championship game Wk. 16, I have good matchups and a very good chance at winning. I would appreciate any input!
