Week 12 Fantasy Help

I need 4 RB's from: Fred Jackson @ Jets, Ryan Mathews v Broncos, Beanie Wells @ Rams, Kevin Smith v Packers, Reggie Bush @ Cowboys.

Well Fred Jackson has been ruled out so not much of a choice.

Has he?!

Oh well, that's made that choice easier then.

From @buffalobills:
"Chan Gailey says Fred Jackson will be out this week. We will reevaluate his status after this week."

Why 4 RB's? No WR's?

2 RB 2 WR 1 Flex from:
Beanie Wells, Ryan Matthews, Pierre Thomas.
Santonio Holmes, James Jones, Doug Baldwin, Andre Johnson, Mohamed Massaquoi.

It's a small team league with my mates so it's bigger rosters. 2QB, 2RB, 3WR, 2 Flex etc

Well that doesn't leave me with much in the 606v2 West League. Being 10-1, I haven't been able to get any sort of back up/ decent bye week replacements in the waiver.

In another team (in a 20 team league) I need 3 RBs from Michael Bush, Demarco Murray, Beanie Wells, Willis McGahee and Ben Tate.

Beanie and Matthews at RB (Can't trust Pierre)

Holmes and Dre' Johnson at WR (Don't care if Leinart is the QB, if he plays he is on your team)

Flex is a good question... gamble on a shootout in Detroit and take Jones, but he literally only gets long TD's on the odd occasion and nowt else these days

Bush, Murray and Wells (good matchup against the Rams, even if Beanie has been bad the past couple of weeks)... would be tempted by Tate though as the Texans will clearly be running a fair bit and then taking shots at Andre Johnson. The only reason I wouldn't is that the Jaguars Defense is pretty good and he is obviously second fiddle to FOster

My Query...

RB, WR and Flex from

Shonn Greene, Ryan Matthews, Kevin Smith, Daniel Thomas,
Earl Bennett, Harry Douglas, Julio Jones (if fit he will be the WR)

Well you can afford to lose one game, although I have read reports that he may be out for the rest of the season!

20 teamer wow I thought our 14 team league had us struggling for players - I would go Bush, Murray and McGahee, Wells just doesn't look 100% at the moment and the Rams shut him down last time. Tate is another good option but he is the number 2 where as the 3 I mentioned will get majority of carries

Julio, Matthews and Smith I reckon

Got a few questions

Team 1. Beanie Wells or Laurent Robinson for flex

Team 2. 2 RBs 2WR and flex from Sproles, Kevin Smith, Starks, Stevie Johnson, Jordy Nelson, Andre Johnson, Antonio Brown - Leaning towards Sproles, Smith, Jordy, Dre and Brown.

I have so much depth with that team but still am only 7-4 on the year. Have been missing Andre, McFadden and Bradshaw for the past few weeks and they were my top 3 picks!

Team 3. Romo or Eli

Bad news NFLMike... Fred Jackson has just gone on IR!

On the upside I am 10-1 in the West and have a bye in the first week of the play offs. I haven't got another meaningful game for four weeks and hoping Peyton Hillis may be ready to go bye week 15.

Hillis may not get on the field again with Hardesty back to fitness. His issues are more off filed than on, so I wouldn't rely on him.

1 WR 2 Flex needed: Dez Bryant, Anquan Boldin, Deion Branch, Santonio Holmes, LeGarrette Blount, Maurice Jones-Drew, Willis McGahee. (I'm counting Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy and Jordy Nelson as people I have to start).

Also anyone who picked up Chris Ogbonnaya be prepared for him to get very few carries this week, if Hardesty is fit he is going to be the starting RB with Ogbonnaya as the third down back.

CrazyDave
Agree with Bambam
Mathews,Smith,Jones if fit or Douglas

Bambams
1 Wells
2 Jordy , Dre & Brown are the 2wr & flex Agree with Sproles & as Starks is very doubtful will have to be Smith
3 Both have good match ups but Eli for me

DerbyBlue
Bryant ,MID & Blount

That just sums up how good my RB options are now.

Couple of mine

2 RB 2WR &1 Flex from
Foster , Mathews ,D Murray / Cruz ,Wallace , Bryant & Douglas

Same question need 5 from
Rice ,Blount,Mendenhall , Ogbonnaya / Nicks ,Cruz , DS Jackson & Garcon

Forward Pass

Foster, Murray, Cruz, Wallace, Dez

Rice, Blount, Mendy, Nicks, Cruz .. But might take a flyer on Djax getting open deep vs the Pats

Reggie Bush or Green-Ellis or Jonathan Stewart

I'd actually go for the Bush you can Support

I hope whoever I told to start James Jones as a gamble for a long TD took my advice :p

Thanks for the advice Dave got me 17.4 points.

Unfortunately for one of my other teams things didn't go so well: Matthew Stafford 13.9 points, Jordy Nelson 2.9 points, Brandon Pettigrew 2.7 points, Jason Hanson 1 point.

Hey - what do you all think for this for my second RB slot;

Gerhart vs the Falcons, Donald Brown vs the Panthers or Pierre Thomas vs Giants?

*Key decision for me as I am just about hanging onto a playoff position, but predicted a big loss this week, and already made the mistake of leaving Laurent Robinson on the bench! Out of interest, assuming you don't already have him, who would you be willing to trade to get Megatron?

SuperTanker
Thomas imo the best of the 3 but Gerhart is the only 1 guarenteed to start , Addai is probably back for the Colts & who knows who will get the most carries in the crowded Saints backfield
So Gerhart for me

Thanks Forward Pass - they are all things I've considered, but I just don't think Gerhart is any good. It would've been so much easier if McFadden had been fit this week!

I think I am going to have to go with Gerhart.

I don't think much of Gerhart either but from those 3

I'm in a similar position Mathews [SD] is my no.2 RB in 3 leagues not looking good at the minute

Apparently "Peyton Hillis has a shot to play this week".

what about ahmad bradshaw

Unless Darren Sproles has a ridiculously good game tonight I should be 6-6 with a shot at the playoffs in the 606v2 fleaflicker league.

My other team didn't fare so well, even a 100% coach rating wouldn't have been enough for me to win this week but I managed to register a season low 92.95 points, first time I've been below 100 points in that league.
