Yeah If Moreno goes I like the play against the Raiders....if he does not I'd go with Choice. Bennett is too risky at this point, Knox is taking some of his reps.

I think I stay away from White till he shows something or you get a great match-up.

Also, I think Seattles D is without Mebane, Tatupu, Hill, Trufant, and Wilson. This could wind up being a feeding frenzy for Bears

Need help

PPR league can start total of 4 between rb's and wr's(max start at either position is 3)

Having a very tough time settling on the four between:
Ronnie Brown
Randy Moss
Felix Jones(love his opportunity this week)
Santonio Holmes
Reggie Wayne

What do you think my best option is? I am leaning towards brown and Jones, with holmes and wayne

RB's:
FJax, can't sit him this week.
Hard to give up on Westy and Sunday morning I may feel differently but he's banged up and Rice has a JUICY match-up with the Browns. He may not get the goaline, and he may be in a RBBC, but there will be enough to go around this week. He will be heavily involved in the passing game and the ppr aspect gives him the nod.

WR's:
Go with the hot hand in Steve Smith. As for the other 2, I think you go with housh as he is less likely to lay an egg. Edwards is too inconsistent to trust against the Ravens.

TE's:
The Olsen/Cutler connection has yet to get off the ground. Daniels is consistent and a much better option at this point. Gotta go Daniels.

Any chance you like Olsen more than Housh as my WR/TE flex position?

Arctic Dawgs' post about the Seattle defensive problems makes Olsen seem like a good gamble to take in this scenario.

Despite the Seattle defensive woes, they are still the 10th best in the league in pts against from the TE....now it is just through 2 games, but they have not been burnt yet at this position.

As for the Bears against WR's, they are giving up the leagues 13th most pts against WR's, not knocking it out of the park by any means. I think I like the chances of a solid Housh game over a solid Olsen game. I would stick with Housh.

If you can sit R Moss or Wayne in any week you simply have bigger balls than I do. You have these two for a reason, start them! The Chargers D has been weak vs the run, Ronnie has to be in there as well.

So it comes down to Holmes who has been hot early or Felix Jones who has an increased roll this week with Barber out. The Bengals D is improving and while they are giving up some pts to the WR's this year they have been better than the numbers show, you take away the fluke Denver play and they are top 10 in pts against to the WR's so far. That includes a shut out against Greg Jennings a week ago.

I agree on Jones being a nice start and would go with him over Holmes.

I'm no line-up Dr....but I am a line-up surgeon. Until Chris can return I'll do my best to field the questions in his absence.

Chris should be returning later today so the surgeon is hanging it up as I will be away from the computer today. It's been fun filling in, good luck to everyone this week.

Paul,

At QB, gotta play the match-up and hot hand here. Flacco is hot and playing the Browns......Palmer had a nice week 2, but is playing the Steelers who give him fits. Take the safe bet and go with Flacco.

RB's: You drafted Turner for a reason, start him! For RB2....man gotta say I know why your stuck, tough call here. I like Benson, but not the match-up this week...Jones also has a tough match-up vs Tenn. Caddy is better in ppr leagues, but has been solid and Parker and the Pitt passing attack have been very bad and the bengals D better than expected....yuck. If I had to pick one I'd roll the dice with Caddy due to him having the better match-up for run D's.

Wr's: Gotta stick with Boldin and Jennings IMO. Jennings will not be shut out again. I like Steve Smith over Manningham and Crayton. Smith should show more consistency week to week than the other two making him the better play.

Ward is the announced starter and the Caddy needed an alignment this week. Just wanted him to be cautious on Caddy. I have a feeling Ward plays with plenty of emotion this week.

Thank goodness you are back!

Miller and RC did a great job and I value their opinions highly, but there is a certain mystique about your advice that supersedes good sense or knowledge.

Sometimes I want opinions and dialog to help me make a decision. Everyone here is awesome in that regard.

Sometimes I'm a lost goose and need someone to take the wheel for me...That's when I come to you.

I wouldn't mind a second opinion.

Do you concur with Millers' diagnosis of my line ups condition?

goodmorning..............In my league, NO RB H. Evans is available. Would he be worth picking up. I start QB, 2RB, 3WR/TE on a ppr type scoring. My starting RB are C. Johnson and D. Sproles this week
