    I'm a little apprehensive of any Bears or Bucs in London, might be a sloppily played game on both accounts. I know playing Fitzy against the Steelers isn't a sexy option but he has a better shot at having a nice day than Hester. Hester is boom or bust and you're relying on his ST play in order to produce, he had a nice day last Sunday in the receiving department but it's rare that he does that twice. 
    However, the safe bets here are Marshall and Moss. Marshall had a good game despite dropping a few balls and seems to be targeted more with Matt Moore at the helm than he was with Henne, that's a good sign. Secondly, Moss has really had only 2 bad games this year, he's had steady production, nothing impressive but I like what I saw out of Beck and he should have a solid day against Carolina. 

    I'd go Marshall and either Moss or Fitzy.

    Earnest Graham, ugh but like I said before that London deal is not cool....However he is very effective in PPR formats as he's 2nd on the Bucs in receptions and if the Bucs fall behind he would absolutely not disappear. Plus whom else are the Bucs going to rely on? Kregg Lumpkin? [​IMG]
    Delone Carter is terrible lol...

    Jackie Battle, haven't seen enough in him in the receiving department to garner my vote of confidence. He seems to be capable but we're talking about a very small sample size to work with. 

    McGahee is a capable receiver out of the backfield and catches most of the balls thrown his way.

    I'd go Graham, McGahee and apprehensively Battle. However Battle is clearly the better player between he and Carter.

    Well I'd start Big Ben over Matt Ryan on Sunday, he should have a better day than Ryan whom has been playing terribly. Big Ben hasn't been all that impressive himself but of the two I like Big Ben's chances of having a better day.
    Secondly you need to find a way to get more depth at RB, however I don't know if I'd advice trying to flip one of your WRs. You'll be needing their services down the stretch and a trio of Wes, Jennings and Nicks is very formidable. I would not part with any of those 3. That said you'll be needing to play the WW game and try to land the next winning lotto ticket. When Blount returns at some point this season, Ernie Graham is going to be useful only for PPR flex purposes. 

    Your first and only priority right now is to get another RB. Preferably before week 8 and before week 9 at the latest. If all else fails you're going to have to trade one of your big 3 at WR for a RB straight up. In that case aim for an RB2 packaged with a WR2. Deal should look something like this, Nicks for Steven Jackson and AJ Green. Settle for nothing less than a 2 for 1 for a Nicks or Jennings. DO NOT under any circumstances sell Wes Welker for ANYTHING less than an RB1, someone like a CJ2K or a Fred Jackson.

    I don't trust tebow yet...although he could get a rushing TD
    Bush doesn't get enough carries and Reggie's neck injury right now is a little bothersome.  Although if you are in a PPR he may benefit over Hardesty

    I am a homer...so Davis.  Don't know how many targets findley got last week but fred is the man and cooley is out so he will get all the action at TE

    Thinking about dropping Keller for Shockey for a BYE-Week play...

    Olson has turf-toe...Shockey may get more looks this game.

    Am I crazy for this?

    Trade for CJ2K If you are set at WR.

    Without Dez your WR's are pretty thin. Are you hurting at RBs? If not I would say no.

    You would be banking on Colston and Maclin who are both real solid WR2.

    I have Miles, Walter and Burleson starting in my WR spots. McGahee is the only RB I'm set on this week. I'm stuck on my other RB and my flex spot. I have MoMo, Choice, Tate, Little and M. Bush. I've been thinking about going with MoMo and Choice. Any advice? PPR BTW.
