Not sure if there's already a thread for this, so I decided to start one...

I'm in a must win situation this week, so I can't afford to make the wrong call. Not sure if I should start Welker vs. Cleveland or Manningham vs. the seahawks. We start 3 WR in my league, and I drafted Welker as my number 2 guy. Needless to say, he's been on my bench the past 2 weeks because he has sucked. He's got a good matchup this week though, so I'm not sure what I should do.

This will be the post-Moss breakout game for Welker.

All pats receivers scare me.  It's spread out too much.  If anyone is gonna be doubled it's Welker.  It's a tough call. 

If it's not PPR, I'd go Manningham.

Offering TPs for advice! I'm trying to decide who my 2nd RB should be this week. Should I start

Thomas Jones (vs. Oakland)
or
LaGarrette Blount (vs. Atlanta)

I think I'd go Jones, just because I don't trust Tampa's running game. It's a tough call though, I know Blount had a good game last week and it would be tough to sit him. I still say go go with Jones.

It's not PPR, and Manningham seems to get TD's often, so I was leaning towards him too. Thanks, TP for you

Manningham when healthy has been significantly better then Welker.  I don't think that is all that difficult a choice, especially in a no PPR league.

I'd go Blount. 

OAK has a bad run defense but so did the Bills and TJ didn't do anything against them last week at HOME.  I think OAK is going to be ahead in this game and Cassel might throw more especially with Osamghu not healthy.  And also it's always a possibility that Charles gets 75% of the carries after he torched the Bills last week. 

At least you know that Blount will be the lead back the entire game.

ok so here's my dilema this week. My league starts 3 WR.

I have on my team Brandon Loyd, Mike Williams (Bucs), Brandon Marshall, Mike Sims Walker, and Mario Manningham. I have Loyd and Mike Williams as must starts, as they have been the most consistent this year. Normally I would start Brandon Marshall, but I'm considering benching him this week. Walker has a good matchup playing Houston, and Steve Smith is most likely out for the Giants so Manningham is going to get more looks as well. Who should I go with.

Also, should I start Schaub vs the Jags or Gerrard vs. the Texans?

For WR, I'd probably go Lloyd, Williams, and Manningham.  Dolphins have a tough matchup versus the Titans plus they're starting a new QB this week; Pennington.  It could be tough to roll the dice there.    Manningham, on the other hand, is facing a team (DAL) that has already packed it in for the season and who the Giants lit up a few weeks ago.  I like that matchup.  If Smith doesn't play, I'd go Manningham.

For QB, I'd start Schaub.
