iirc Knowshon Moreno (Den) was mentioned on nfl.com as a decent pick up

I've got Trent Richardson (who did not much of anything Week 1) and Ben Tate, who will only be valuable if my Arian Foster voodoo doll actually works. I've gone to the scrapheap to see what I can find. How would you rate these RBs for pickup? Which one would you try to pick up?

Joique Bell (Det), Pierre Thomas (NO), Daniel Thomas (Mia), Kendell Hunter (SF), LeGarrette Blount (NE), Fred Jackson (Buf). Brandon Jacobs, Knowshon Moreno (Den)?

I'd go for Bell and Jackson myself. Both are going to get some touches (esp Jackson) and Bell in particular will get goal line work so could have some nice big games like in week 1.

by mikeygnfl Thu 12 Sep 2013, 1:45 pm

Fred Jackson will be a very good pick when Spiller gets inevitably injured.

by mikeygnfl Thu 12 Sep 2013, 1:48 pm

If fit do I put Dobson in at flex?

by **Pr4wn** Thu 12 Sep 2013, 2:12 pm

Who are your alternatives?

by **Pr4wn** Thu 12 Sep 2013, 2:15 pm

For me, should I have Hartline or Fred Jackson at flex?

Also, I need one flex from DeAngelo Williams, Rueben Randle and DeAndre Hopkins.

by Take it to the house Thu 12 Sep 2013, 2:17 pm

Celek(SD) or Owen Daniels(TEN) at TE? Daniels put up some good numbers vs. San Diego, that should bode well for Celek?

by TM Moot Thu 12 Sep 2013, 2:20 pm

my RB's really do suck... I need 2 from

Rashard Mendenhall, Danny Woodhead or Chris Ivory

by cabowers Thu 12 Sep 2013, 2:33 pm

I would pick up Jacobs, Moreno and Jackson if possible maybe in that order or reverse order.

I'm trying to work out who to have as my flex starter, currently got Spiller and Trent Richardson as my starting RBs and havee a choice of Gio Bernard, Ahmand Bradshaw, David Wilson and Kenbrell Thompkins as my options at flex.

Also would you go David Wilson or Daryl Richardson at RB in my other team (would have both but never benching AP and Jordy Nelson, Victor Cruz and Wes Welker are currently entrenched as my 2 WRs and my flex)

by mikeygnfl Thu 12 Sep 2013, 5:25 pm

Pr4wn wrote:Who are your alternatives?

Sanu, Jacobs, Blount and Gio Bernard.

Possibly could go with Bernard? Could play Dobson instead of Sanu at WR2.

Have drafted a core few players in most drafts I had.

Thompkins should see more of the ball if Amendola and Vereen are out for the Patriots but I also wouldn't be surprised to see Gio Bernard get an increased carry load.

I have him in 3 leagues should I trust D.Wilson this week ?

by **Pr4wn** Fri 13 Sep 2013, 2:58 pm

Guys, this thread won't work if we're all just asking. Try to help others as well as seeking help please!

Question is do the Giants trust him? I think they will give him chances again this week. I would stick with him for now. It maybe worth picking up Jacobs if he is available.

by sodhat Fri 13 Sep 2013, 4:12 pm

Forward Pass wrote:I have him in 3 leagues should I trust D.Wilson this week ?

Judging by the fact he is all they have at RB I am keeping him in. Brandon Jacobs may steal a few touches near the endzone though.

by mikeygnfl Fri 13 Sep 2013, 4:30 pm

Agree. If Andre Brown had been fit it maybe different...

Guarantee the week you bench Wilson is the week he 'breaks out'.

by RDuncan8 Fri 13 Sep 2013, 5:06 pm

Hartline and DeAngelo. Wait another week and see what happens with Jackson/Spiller. Williams did alright against the Seahawks. Clear no1 back, can't pass on that imo.

Hartline will get you decent points for yardage but doesnt get many TD'S ,F.J is still 2nb RB behind Spiller ,so Hartline for this week at least

DeAngelo for next couple of weeks ,had a decent outing against a tough D last week

by Bull Fri 13 Sep 2013, 6:29 pm

Jennings or Pettigrew at flex?

by **Pr4wn** Sat 14 Sep 2013, 1:02 am

Ouch! They both suck soon don't think it matters too much...

by NYJ Sat 14 Sep 2013, 3:02 pm

Jennings.

by mikeygnfl Sat 14 Sep 2013, 3:38 pm

An early one for week 3. Do I stick with Dobson in a few leagues? Ok he dropped a few put he was getting plenty of ball.

by thunder and lightning Sat 14 Sep 2013, 4:22 pm

mikeygnfl wrote:An early one for week 3. Do I stick with Dobson in a few leagues? Ok he dropped a few put he was getting plenty of ball.

Yeah stick with Dobson, Brady has to throw to somebody and Dobson will get the targets. Only time will tell if he's worth it but for now he's worth a roster spot for potential upside.

Agree ,until Amendola is fit

by NYJ Sat 14 Sep 2013, 8:53 pm

Depends who the alternative is. Gronk + Amendola coming back will mean a lot less targets. Could be handy for a few weeks or if he breaks out (which I seriously doubt). I drafted him in the last round of one league and I've traded him for Stephen Hill.

by Take it to the house Sat 14 Sep 2013, 11:48 pm

Russell Wilson(SF) or Cutler(MIN)? Leaning towards Cutler atm but Wilson has performed very well vs. the 49ers in the past, tough decision.

by Bull Sun 15 Sep 2013, 12:08 am

Tell you want Trade me Cutler.

by BamBam Sun 15 Sep 2013, 12:54 am

Go Cutler, Bears offence is built on same principles as Lions (big armed QB, dominant receiver, dual threat RB etc) and we saw how badly Detroit tore up the Vikings defence last week.

Ps don't trade Bull Cutler

by mikeygnfl Sun 15 Sep 2013, 1:16 am

Need 3 RBs from Rice, Gore, Johnson, Forte and Lacy. Had the first three selected last week but Forte and Lacy have better match ups this week. Thinking of dropping Gore and Johnson.

by skins4ever Sun 15 Sep 2013, 2:02 pm

Pierre Thomas will likely get more carries than any of the others, but Hunter gets some use in the passing game and Moreno will gets some spells. So far the others have been bit players.

by crazy_dave23 Tue 17 Sep 2013, 8:45 pm

My debut question seeing as I went 1-3 in my leagues last weekend...

Starting AJ Green (GB) for sure but...

1 WR + Flex from
Wes Welker (OAK)
Jordy Nelson (@CIN)
Vincent Jackson (@NE)

I was going to leave out VJax due to the fact Tampa's pass game is struggling... but he still gets like 75% of their yards and if Tampa gets a pass TD it will almost certainly be VJax!

Your still right as although VJax is TBB passing game Welker & Nelson have better match ups and better QB's

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 9:50 pm

I'd take Welker every single day of the week out of them Dave

by TM Moot Wed 18 Sep 2013, 9:08 am

nelson's on fire..but welker for me (home to OAK instead of @ CIN)

by TM Moot Thu 19 Sep 2013, 8:18 am

2 this week

Brees (ARI) or Bradford (@DAL)

MJD (@SEA) or Jacquiz Rogers (@MIA)

Brees everytime

have you got anybody else ?
As MJD & Rodgers have terrible matchups for 2 players who are struggling

Normally MJD but the Jags O is a complete mess at the minute & @Sea is not a good mix
I know Rodgers had a rough time last week but I would risk him this week out of the two

by skins4ever Thu 19 Sep 2013, 5:21 pm

Umming and ahhing over this weeks line up.

RB - Lynch is a lock but I have Bradshaw still in (Richardson takes a week to get in step?), but should I swap in Ellington (stock rising) or Snelling?

WR - Fitz is hurting, and only put 33 yds on the board last week. Bench him for Brown or Hartline?

by The Mangler US_UK Thu 19 Sep 2013, 9:57 pm

Dear God,

thank you for facilitating the Richardson trade to Indy. My team rejoices! That's all.

Have to see how much of the workload he gets this week.

I'm having the same Fitz quandary. He says he'll play, but he played last week and did nothing before his hammy tightened up.

by Take it to the house Sat 21 Sep 2013, 8:10 pm

Edelman(TB), Mike Wallace(if fit)(ATL), Decker(OAK), Sanders(CHI), G.Tate(JAX), B.Tate(@BAL) for 1 WR and 1 flex?
They all seem to get similar points week to week tbh

by Bull Sat 21 Sep 2013, 8:27 pm

I have a better idea. Trade me Cutler.

Start Ponder or Eli?

by sodhat Wed 25 Sep 2013, 12:09 pm

Bull wrote:Start Ponder or Eli?

What a choice. Well, history suggests Eli is going to appear sooner or later.

How about between Moss and Jeffery for my WR2? I also have Streater but he's more of a flex guy I reckon.

by Bull Wed 25 Sep 2013, 12:14 pm

Jeffrey!

Yeah I guess but the question is will he turn up against KC?
Or am I better off with starting Ponder who faces Pitts!

Oh and Jennings or Sidney Rice?

by sodhat Wed 25 Sep 2013, 12:31 pm

I've literally just read an article of Ponder saying he is carrying an injury and he may not make it against the Steelers. Defensively the Steelers have been pretty good too.

So have the Chiefs, but I'd back Eli to start.

I'd also take Rice personally.

by mikeygnfl Wed 25 Sep 2013, 1:17 pm

Eli has got a higher points ceiling than Ponder. He could easily have a 4-5 TD with Cruz and Nicks. Ponder does have that in him.
