So who's the next man up for the Browns? Will this have any effect Jordan Cameron's potential breakout season? I know, they changed QBs this week too. Ugh, God really does hate Cleveland.

Will hoyer get the ball to Cameron though? I am considering benching Tony Gonzalez, he has killed me the first two weeks.

I honestly have no idea. Josh Gordon will be back too so who knows what will happen.

The Fantasy pundits are high on Cameron this week, I'm awfully tempted to use Jared Cook though. There's a couple other guys I'll go back & forth on before Sunday too.
There's a couple guys who had big Weeks 2 I got my eyes on. Miami's TE, Charles Clay, is averaging 16 YPC. Only one TD (goal line rush at that) but I'll that production going into the bye weeks and if keeps up that yardage the scores will follow. Cards' Andre Ellington I added since my RB bench is so skimpy and someone else got Snelling and Starks. Ellington could be what Spiller was a couple seasons ago, change of pace back who can catch and has home run ability. He might not get touches but could go off any given time. Oh yeah, and he is behind Rashard Mendenhall.

I considered giving up Bennet for Cameron but i can't do it yet. MB has 3 touchdowns already.

I'm having trouble determining my flex RB/WR this week. Deandre Hopkins, Lamar Miller, James Starks, Eric Decker or Greg? Jennings

My dilemmas this week on who to start:

WR:
Boldin vs Indy
Mike Wallace vs Atlanta

RB:
Richardson vs SF
DeAngelo Williams vs NYG
Giovani vs GB

I have a flex player if I want to start all three RBs. If I want use 3 WRs instead, the flex position is between Boldin and Wallace (other 2 WR places are filled)

From everything that I've learned about Cook, the Rams need to utilize him more as a wide receiver, or line him out wide more often. He has the speed to get off the line quick. I guess he was shut out last week because Atlanta knew how stop him by just jamming him at the TE position, cause he's not a physical player. And they double teamed him. They have to mix up the ways he's getting off the ball in order for him to be effective.

The man is not a one week wonder. He better bounce back this week. He has the potential to be a Top 3 TE with Gronk & Graham. But of course they have Brady & Brees throwing to them.

As I've assumed, Decker got the most yards & targets last week, because Manning is the type of leader who wants to build their teammates confidence after a down week. But he doesn't have a TD yet. Their running game was so good last week, Manning didn't have to throw many. And it being the Raiders this week, I see more of the running game again. But still. I'm looking for Decker to get his first TD. I like Decker because Manning is on the field, plain and simple.

I have Hopkins too, but I'm going to wait another week or two to see how he continues to perform. Hopefully he's a revelation. Starks against a physical Bengals D? Meh. I hate Jennings cause of Ponder. Lamar Miller? I honestly don't know much about him.

I'd go Decker.

BOLDIN. After being shut down by Sherman Week 2, he's taking his frustrations out on the colts. I have him too, and I'm hoping/expecting at least a 100 yard game.

I think the pack is good against the run, but I like Govani because he's a pass-catch RB and the Bengals will be throwing a lot to keep up with Aaron Rodgers. Richardson ain't doing shit this week with a new colts team, and they're facing the Niners. D. Williams will probably be the more popular pick. And maybe he is. I just feel good about Benard.

Yeah, I had a feeling on Bolding too. Thanks for backing it up. Gonna go with him.

Right now I think I'm starting RG3 for at least one more week. But on the bench I have Bradford and Rivers. Hmm.

Aw, man, Rivers is killing it. But I'd go with RG3 one more week. It's against Detroit, and everyone is saying this could be RG3's breakout game.

Thanks Harry. I have Hopkins in now but i was leaning toward waiting one more week. Was thinking Johnson would be sitting this week but appears he is cleared to play

Bodysnatcher, i'd go Boldin as well.

Richardson could go off this week but i have to think it will take a week to learn the system he's in now

Just got offered a trade:

I give:
Boldin

I get:
M. Colston
Torrey Smith

I'm not keen on this bc I already have a stash of WRs, and I'm feeling Boldin. My WR core already consists of D. Thomas, AJ Green, Boldin, and M. Wallace. I can only have 3 max (with flex). Am I right turning this down? Is Boldin worth giving up for someone else? He has Arian Foster and Matt Forte. Thinking about counter offering Bolding for Forte :haha:

I am putting Decker on the bench this week in favor of Mike Wallace. I know there playing the raiders, but he isn't getting the ball enough right now and he has dropped some sure passes.

i think he did catch 9 last week though, but if they keep forcing it to wallace then he has the better upside
