"The sharing ratio between Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount was of interest and when the smoke cleared it was Bell who was clearly in the driver's seat."

MJD? Just saying...

Toe injury, not much more to offer

First round of playoffs in a 12 team standard scoring league. WDIS to get to the championship round? Roster RBs - Charles, Stewart, Torain, Choice, T. Jones Originally, I thought it was pretty straight forward; Stewie and Charles. But now Cassel remains questionable and Rex Grossman is now the starter?! 1. With Cassel out last week, JC only had the opportunity for 10 carries since they couldn't keep the offense on the field, will STL limit the KC offense again this week, or will Haley learn his lesson and run the ball all day and wear down the Rams with the one-two punch of Charles and Jones? 2. With Grossman in for McNabb, how will this affect Torain? Will DAl stack the box and make Rex beat them by air? Torain can catch, but is it worth the risk of sitting JC? Stewie is the no-brainer IMO. Who is my No. 2?

I have both Charles and Jones, all year I've started Charles regardless of matchup or Jones performance the week before. KC plays the hapless Bills running defense which is ranked dead last in running defenses according to NFL.com, my original intention was to start them both. My other option is Torain who is playing Detroit who is ranked 27th. Torain plays at Detroit and KC plays at home. Do I stick with my original plan, or run with Torain and only play Charles this week in order to 'mix it up'.

I'm with you. I have no insights, other than a bad feeling; I traded him away today.

I hardly ever trade, so a little advice is warranted. I would offer Vick/Kolb/MJD for Rivers/Rice. I gain with a quality QB that I don't have to second guess every week going forward, along with a sweet playoff EOS (QB) schedule, as well as getting the Rivers/gates combo. I struggle with Rice for a few weeks but I think I can plug in Torain for a couple of weeks to get by. He gains with immediate RB help in a division where everyone is 2-2. My team Vick, Kolb, McNabb MJD, Charles, T. Jones, Torain, Stewart Wayne, Wallace, Walter, Nanee Gates His team Rivers, Smith Rice, Wells, Tolbert, Sproles, Jackson Collie, Austin, Ocho, Garcon Shockey, Miller

3. WAS 2. GBP 1. TEN

I'm in a similar position. I drafted Kolb and McNabb, picked up Vick of the WW after Kolb's injury. I am starting McNabb with 100% confidence. Why? Because I am 100% confident that we will start and most likely stay in the entire game barring an injury. I have no such confidence that if Kolb starts that he will not put up a stinker in the 1st half and then Vick ends up starting the 2nd.

Biggest shocker in the "un-notables", Redskins: Ryan Torain! Did he not recover from his injury?

Choice went undrafted in my league, if this story gets legs I'll consider picking him up off waivers and dropping Leon Washington.

JC has been electric, go with the hot hand that is making a name for himself.

"Dance with who brung ya!!", but this week I'm leaning to ditching my date for next best thing. note: I have no other options other than the WW; Braylon Edwards vs IND Mike Wallace vs BAL Devery Henderson vs TB Kenny Britt vs SD

CBS Sportsline (read: fantasy rag) has him being a game time decision? Game time is 4 PM EST during fantasy playoffs! Any homers know what the real deal is?

Warner is a game time decision. Who do I start? Do I plug and play Vince Young against the Colts, or do I sweat over a getting a starting QB decision at 8:19 PM?

Interesting thread, I'm on the other side of a similar trade (12 team non-PPR). Someone has offered me either Forte, Moreno or R. Brown for Driver. He is hurting at WR and is 2-5 for the season, He's weak at WR and is basically on the ropes. I have Wayne and D. Jackson as my other WR so I'm willing to give up DD as long as the injuries for Wayne and Jackson aren't serious. My other RBs are MJD, Grant and Beanie. Basically I'm building a playoff team at this point. I'm thinking of taking No-Show since he has a soft second half of the season. For your trade...M. Lynch.

FOXBORO - Just hours after reportedly being released by the Patriots, Tully Banta-Cain was back at practice with his Patriots teammates on the lower grass field at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. Linebacker Eric Alexander, who was also reportedly released and re-signed, was also at practice. Adalius Thomas was also spotted at the practice, two days after being a healthy scratch. The Patriots went through a light walkthrough with no pads or helmets and will practice on Wednesday and Thursday in Foxboro before leaving for London on Thursday night for their Sunday game against Tampa Bay.

So I'm 5-0, but not alone in my league, what do other 5-0 teams look like? 12 team non-ppr standard scoring K. Warner MJD R. Grant D. Jackson R. Wayne K. Winslow Tynes Ravens T. Edwards B. Wells L. Washington J. Harrison D. Driver K. Walter E. Bennett

With J. Davis on IR, who do I drop, or do I let it pass? Standard scoring, no ppr. I have L. Washington, M. Bush and B. Wells warming the bench. MJD and R. Grant are my starters. I'm considering dropping Leon. Oakland is a run first team and it's too early to give up on Beanie. Thoughts?

Standard scoring league, no PPR. I would usually plug and play Jackson, but I'm not comfortable with Kolb as the starter. I figure he will simply be used to manage the game rather than slinging in down the field in 30 yard chunks... Driver? Sure, he'll get me 4 points, besides I drafted him for exactly this role, bye week and injury replacement... Bennett? Targeted 13 times by his old college buddy. Have to like the upside, but against Pittsburgh D??? I'm leaning Bennett; in fact he's plugged in now. Am I wrong?

so then...I've got 2nd position in a 12 team non PPR draft on Tuesday, I was 100% committed to MJD, now I'm leaning towards Forte

or are these Bill Cowher ads starting to freak you out too?
