Fantasy dilemmas: Do I start Frank Gore or Chris Ivory this week? And I have a WR/RB/TE situation: Steve Smith, Edelman, Garcon, Hopkins, Martellus Bennett. 5 guys, 1 spot. 2nd question is an easy one. Steve Smith Jr. When he gets hot you ride him like your favorite horse till he either gets hurt or starts pouting about something. He ain't doing either so he's guaranteed points right now. The RB question? ? Ugh. Gore is losing carries and going against the #4 defense/#4 rush defense in the league in the altitude. Ivory could be rendered useless by the mid 2nd quarter tonight. Honestly that's a tossup, I really wouldn't count for alot of points out of either one this week. Fantasy Question. Wide Recievers. One Spot, Four Guys. Larry Fitzgerald, Torrey Smith, Marques Colston or James Jones? I have about every Fantasy Spot locked for my team this week except one, the WR2 Spot, which has belonged to Larry all year at my own expense, so lets see what we're looking at here Larry finally broke out and looked like Larry Fitzgerald after mediocre week after mediocre week, getting his first Touchdown and his first big line. It could be argued Palmer coming back helped, but Palmer only threw to him once week one, so it's a bit iffy. Oakland, for being an 0-5 team has given up the 11th most points to WR's, but Oakland has been pretty bad this year regardless on Defense, and Larry could find the space and time to get a TD and have a good week coming off last week. James Jones has actually been a huge bright spot for Oakland since the start of the year, only really having one bad stat line in the PPR league. Arizona has given up the second most points to WR's so far, and yeah for as good as Arizona has been this year that's a tempting stat. However, with the emergence of Holmes, one has to wonder if it will cut into Jones value, but in the end they'll be throwing a ton with Carr in what should be a close game, the question is, is James good enough to start over Fitz in the matchup? Colston is there but he's not really above the other ones currently. The only reason Im considering him is the supposed expanded role he will get with Jimmy Graham hurt. Problem is, Jimmy was hurt before this year and Colston didn't do anything with it. Colston is the supposed Number 1 on the Team hasn't looked very good, from a goose egg in Cleveland to pretty miserable stats all year, Colston is basically a bench holder right now, and Detiots D isn't giving me much confidence to start him even IF he gets an expanded role... Torrey Smith was like Larry last week, he finally exploded, catching 2 Touchdowns as Baltimore completely upended Tampa. Atlanta's weak D is more on the run side of things, but they can be beat through the air. Steve Smith has clearly taken over the Number 1 WR Duties here, but they want to get Smith involved, and they actually delivered, the question is if they can keep it up. So what do you guys think? Out of the four, who looks the best? When it comes to Arizona's high PPR points to WR that was mostly due to one week. They have a very good secondary, but they spent the entire game on the field getting picked apart due to altitude/lack of pass rush/inability of offense to get a first down. I don't trust Colston anymore. Guy gets zero seperation anymore and is at best a bad slot guy now, problem is he doesn't play the slot. I don't trust anything on that Raider's offense. The new coach honeymoon is over and I think they get destroyed this week. Also they always play the Chargers tough no matter how bad they are. Think last week was just an anomoly. To me it comes down to if you think Smith is going to get the targets this week to give you points or not. Also wouldn't read too much into Oaklands decent #12 against the pass rating. Teams stop throwing against them when they get to a big lead. If you look at yds/attempt the are #23rd and pass rtg against they are #28th. Me I would go with Fitzgerald as I see Steve Smith taking away too many targets from Torrey Smith.

They aren't gonna say it, but tonight should be pivotal in deciding Rex Ryan's future with the Jets.
I don't think it'll end pretty.

I'm not knowledgeable about the Jets as an organization, so I'll ask: whose idea was it to draft Gino Smith? Whoever that person is should shoulder most of the blame. New York needs to get a quarterback, and they need to get another good WR (Decker is a start, but he alone is not enough; nobody is), and they'd have the potential to be a very dangerous team. But Gino was not the QB they should've gotten, which is something that even the uninitiated had a pretty good understanding of.

Rex Ryan allegedly never wanted him, doesn't want him now, and would bench him for Michael Vick in a heartbeat if he was allowed to (and he has hinted that he is under orders to start Smith). Hell, I am beginning to think that if he had his way and Vick can't do it, Rex might prefer to bring Matt Simms up from the practice squad over starting Smith.

A good game next week Denver/SD That one will shock a lot of non-Bronco fans I bet. SD always plays up to us and we always seem to play down to their level. It'll be a game decided by a field goal.

At this point I'd fire Ryan, trade for Manziel, and try to land Gruden. Might as well hope and pray for Manziel to be the next Joe Nameth, he acts like him as it is.

You know what would have been nice Thursday night football? Letting us watch Ty Law get inducted into the Patriots ring of honor. Instead of that boring ass interview of Rivers.

I loathe the short week game. Fell into this trap last year at SD. Fact that it's a home game hopefully helps out. The one plus is it gets them 10 days off for the New England game that follows.

TV doesn't show stuff like that unless it's one of their own personalities (McNabb last year) or a top 5-10 of all timer like Montana or Favre
