decker seems like the best option, but im a little bit bitter about the dropped TD last week and only ending up with 2 catches for 32 yards

You pretty much have them listed how I would rank them. Decker will bounce back.

ive got decker in there now, but i usually like a running back in that spot so im considering Mendenhall, but if its a shoot out in that game then he wont get anything. probably just keep on riding with decker till i get a better option

Yeah I like RB in flex.
Mendenhall is dealing with a hamstring and beyond the first AP run , Detroit shut him down hard.

I am going with McCoy and Murray this week. Put A. Morris on the bench. Picked up Edelman. Hopefully I don't go 0-2

My line up

Qb: Rodgers
WR: C. Rodgers
WR: J. Edelman
WR: E. Decker
RB: L. McCoy
RB: D. Murray
TE: T. Gonzalez
D: 49ers
Kicker: The dude for St. Louis.

Who's C. Rodgers?

Great lineup. Edelman will see a lot of targets tonight, and I'm sure Manning will want to get Decker involved early.

Probably Calvin Johnson. And if so, how many teams are in your league, 8?

Jeeze, I hope this toe injury doesn't bother Finley too much. Looking forward to rolling with this roster for some time:

Russell Wilson
Julio Jones
Andre Johnson
Ray Rice
DeMarco Murray
Jermichael Finley
Dan Bailey
Houston

Kenbrell Thompkins vs NYJ (tonight)
Deandre Hopkins vs TEN
Marlon Brown vs CLE
Andre Roberts vs DET

Or hope Josh Gordon gets reinstated before Sunday...

I'm leaning Roberts right now, could be a high scoring game. I'm sure whatever decision I make will be wrong.

I'd go Thompkins simply because Brady has no choice with that banged up, shit ass receiving core.

no doubt, Eric Decker. I'm expecting a solid two touchdowns from the man on Sunday.

Yeah I think if the Packers can do anything it's stop the run game. I hope I'm right.

Wilson better step up his game!

As far as Thompkins goes:
It's not Brady keeping him involved , it's Thompkins not playing like a confused rookie. He went 4/14 last week so it's not as if he didnt get his chances. I think he is the biggest boom/bust player of that list. Play him for the reward but also be prepared for some egg on the face.

Perhaps he isn't the best choice, but instead of scorning him I expect Belichick & Brady to pressure him to do well.

If I stick with Roberts, Thompkins will have 116 yards and 2 td's.

Well I'm not getting anywhere else in pursuit of a second RB. Other than the Gio offer no one was any better or appealing than my Mark Ingram. Going to run him out there this week, maybe I'll get lucky with a TD. Maybe in the next week or two some RBs will become available but for now I'm hoping Trent Richardson catches fire and that my wins come through the air.

Richardson will pick it up.
I'm sitting on Ingram in a couple leagues but I fear it is preseason fools gold. He just doesn't seem to work with NO's system. I think he needs to be a 15-20 carry back to really shine. I'm not dropping him but I'm now doubtful.
Blount could be a decent desperation play tonight.
I think Wilson will dominate the touches but Da"rel Scott might have some value this week.

lineup so far this week:

QB: RG3
RB: T. Richardson
RB: D. Williams
WR: A. Green
WR: D. Thomas
Flex: M. Wallace (or, A. Boldin)
TE: Witten
D: Houston
K: Prater (Denver)

Bench:
Monte Ball
Sam Bradford
Kellen Winslow
Anquan Boldin
Chris Givins (have a waiver in to drop Givins for Gio)
Kansas City D

edit: Just read that Sherman will be covering Boldin for most of the game. I'm not confident in that matchup at all for Boldin to start

Agreed on Ingram. I had him last year and he just never produced. There's something about him and the Saints that just doesn't seem agreeable

unless they put cromartie in the slot (which they didn't do against tb) i wouldn't expect thompkins to get as many looks tonight.

based on that, my prediction of targets (not results/points), i'd rank the pats receiving options as:

edelman
ridley
hoomanuwanui
dobson
thompkins

i should add that i fully expect a "less plays"/possession game-plan from the pats with more running from ridley/blount. with extra OT as TE and develin blocking.

Yeah 8 teams, I meant Calvin Johnson

I would have loved to have seen Thompkins catch that TD, then imagine Lenny putting his head into his hands.

Flacco vs cleveland or rg3 vs gb?

All my reason says Flacco, but my instinct says RG3. And I always go with my gut. I think it will be a shoot out in GB.

Also, GB is putting up a lot of points on that young secondary. RG3 will be passing & running a lot.

Grabbed Edelman off the wire this week and he did me well in my ppr league. Overall the offense was still ineffective despite his pretty consistent hands, minus the lost ball. You guys think he will be worth the flex when Danny a and grok come back? I'd love to keep him but could possibly trade high this week. Any thoughts?
