This is my first time playing fantasy football, im in a league of 20 but my wr's are vincent jackson, crabtree, markus wheaton, steve smith, and marquise lee. The rules actually just changed and we get .5 points per reception and somebody wants to trade golden tate and some nobody for wheaton...anyone think thats a good idea?

20 members? The roster must be thin. At this point Wheaton has great up side but is unproven. Tate is proven, but comes in to a high powered offense. But he's not the top guy. This answer is just like most of my fantasy football answers, full of nothing.

I like Wheaton a bit more than Tate this year, but not by much.

Depends on who the other guy is, and really who you like.

Ive really been leaning towards just keeping him, ill take my chances since he has a high upside and the steelers receivers arent that great. Megatron will draw lots of targets in detroit. And hes my number 3 so i can always toss in steve smith if i need to

Forsett or Pierce? I have to start one.

I can't find anything concrete telling me whether one should get more carries than the other. Pierce burned me last week so I'm leaning towards Forsett.

Need some advice...Which 3 WRs should I start?

Bryant vs. Titans
Cobb vs. Jets
Patterson vs. Pats
Hilton vs. Eagles
Cooks vs. Cleveland

Leaning towards the first 3 but Dez faces a good Titans secondary and Romo might suck it up again.

I have Cobb and Hilton but im benching Hilton now. With Reggie Wayne back he's barely a number 3 target now (Reggie, Fleener, Allen)

Solid group of receivers. Do you have a flex option for a fourth? I would play them all besides Cobb if that is an option.

My question is who do I start this week at QB? Normally it would be a no brainer, but Stafford has to face Carolina and my backup Jake Locker is playing Dallas. Tough call.

You never sit Dez Bryant. I would definitely start Cobb. For the third guy I'm leaning towards Patterson but it's pretty much a coin toss.

Nope, no flex spot which sucks.

Yeah that's a tough call. Stafford, Johnson, and Tate looked impressive, but then again that was against the Giants. I'd slightly go with Stafford.

I need your help dudeskis....

In my standard scoring league Im starting:

Cutler
McCoy
Ellington
Nelson
Harvin
Rudolph

My flex is were I cant make up my mind.

I have Fred Jackson, Crabtree, Carlos Hyde, Kelvin Benjamin....

I cant make my mind up. I am leaning towards Carlos Hyde at the moment simply because Chicagos RUN D is atrocious, and he has the potential to easily break a long run.

My second choice I guess would have to be Fred.

What say you?

Dez, Cobb, Patterson for sure.

I would go with Hyde or Benjamin, leaning towards Benjamin. He is gonna have similar production to his first week every week IMO. His biggest competition is Jericho Cotchery and Greg Olsen. Olsen will get some balls thrown his way, but Benjamin is definitely the primary receiver.

I'd go with Hyde. Crabtree second, but he burned me last week.

I currently have Hyde in my line up..... But i keep thinking I might take a gamble with Benjamin this week.

I still am not sure if Crabtree is 100%. Im gonna have to wait and see how he plays this weekend before i through him into the line up.

And Fred Jackson is usually reliable. Im not big on the match up this week against the Dolphins..

Pick 3:
Cordarelle Patterson
Emmanual Sanders
Randall Cobb
Reggie Wayne

Half a point PPR league.

Revis is supposedly covering Patterson.

Cobb and Wayne for sure, coin flip on the other 2, I'd lean towards CP though.

AP really screwed me, have to put Ingram in at flex now, hope he can vulture a TD.

Shame on everyone who benched Sammy Watkins (me). Patriots defense is going to win this week for me.

I played Watkins, but the fantasy gods decided to smite me with Knowshon Moreno going down after one carry.

Same here. Honestly after the week he had last week I don't think anyone sat him. I'm sticking with him through the season.
