I can't imagine a planet in which I would put myself into a position to need to start Jake Locker.

9th best QB last week. 16 team league.

I probably start Foles.

As far as Locker V Kapernick: Locker is facing the cowboys, 3rd worse team against the pass last season, and their defense got worse. Kapernick is facing the Bears, who let Buffalo run all over them all day long. I figure Locker airs it out more, Kapernick keeps it on the ground.

And if Im going to be on Locker airing it out, I'm also betting on him connecting with Hunter, who led the Titans in targets last week.

Allen meanwhile is going to be squaring off against Seattle.
Fair enough on Allen.

My counter on the Kaepernick vs Locker thing is aren't rushing touchdowns worth more than passing touchdowns in your league? If the niners stick to the ground I wouldn't be surprised if Kaepernick rushed for a touchdown or two.

I have Kap...and I'm starting Sir Jake Locker.

For now at least. I'll prob start Kap anyways cause I too much of a chicken to go against ESPN rankings or popular opinion.

Moreno, Gore, Jennings at rb, pick two (one goes for my rb2, one is my flex)

Really tough. SF is at Chicago and the Bills ran all over them. If that wasn't the case, Id pick Moreno/Jennings, but with that being the case, Gore/Jennings

I elected to bench Doug Martin in favor of Cordarelle.

Martin will probably have 3 TD's tonight.

Edit: Martin is inactive anyways. Makes that decision easier.

I elected to start Travis Kelce over Niles Paul past week, and I'm currently carrying 3 tight ends with Jordan Reed injured. My team is a mess.

Did this and I pulled out a win despite a lousy week point wise (ah matchups).

One guy in my league lost RG3, DJax, Ingram and Matthews  this weekend.

two separate leagues not sure if I should put Cousins in.  One league I have Romo, the other I have Brady.  Cousins plays against the Giants tonight, so I have to make the call by 8 pm eastern.  Really struggling with it as Cousins has played very well, but somehow it still seems flukey to me.  The Giants aren't the team of the past, but they do still have some players on defense.  Thoughts?

Matthew Berry has Cousins over both.

I have a feeling Romo has a big game because the Saints have not looked good on defense at all. Cousins did play well last week but i'm not sure if that is something you can count on.
