Just got word the Sims-Walker is not going to be playing today due to a violation of team policies. If you have another WR that’s playing a later game, put him in instead of Sims-Walker, since Moss already played.

It’s really hard to pass on Sims-Walker right now, so keep him in. For the second guy, I’d go Burleson. When Hasselbeck last play a full game, Burleson had 7 grabs for 74 yards and a TD. Today, their going up against a Jaguars defense that’s ranked 31st against the pass. Redskins are going up against a defense ranked 6th against the pass (Carolina).

Which 2 WRs should I start? S. Moss, M. Sims-Walker, N. Burleson?

Also KC or BUF defense?

I would go Choice against the Chiefs for your other RB. The Titans are ranked 7th against the run, even though they’re 0-4. The Chiefs rank 23rd. Joseph Addai is most likely going to play, so both guys should be backing up tomorrow. Look for the Colts to pass a lot in order to take advantage of the Titans’terrible pass defense (ranked dead last).

Those are both pretty solid defenses, but looking at the schedules, I’d actually expect Green Bay to do better. Surprising since San Fran scored all those points last week, but they have a tougher road ahead as they face the Falcons, Colts, Eagles, and even the Packers, themselves.

Adam, thanks for the solid advice last week. Took care of business in my game.

Back to the same RB problem this week as I am extremely thin there.

Kevin Smith against the Steelers
Tashard Choice against the Chiefs
Donald Brown against the Titans

I could also pick up Beanie Wells if necessary, but don’t think it would help. I am leaning toward starting Smith and expecting low yards but a TD. Thinking toss up on the other 2.

Also, which Defense would you rather have for the rest of the year, San Fran? Or Green Bay?

Megatron…the Transformer. The giant, robotic, easy-to-find target, should he hit the football field. Wallace is pretty talentless.

Sit Ray Rice. The Cincinnati D has been pretty decent so far and, of your fringe players (Lynch, Rice, Sim-Walker), he faces the least desirable matchup. Go get ‘em.

I need some help…. I have to start 2 rb, 2 WR and 1 flex and here are my options…
RB: Lynch, Ray Rice, Moreno
WR: Moss, Sims-Walker, Steve Smith (NYG)

So basically I have to sit one of these guys down…. I appreciate the help.

Steve Smith seems like the safe bet to me. Both guys go up against tougher defenses (SF- ranked 10th OAK- ranked 11th). So far, though, Eli and Smith have a better connection than Ryan and White.
For your flex, it really is hard to tell who is going to have the better game this week. Jackson got one more carry than Lynch last week, but Lynch had two more receptions. It looks like they might split it 50/50 for now. Either way, they’re going up against a bad Cleveland rush defense. Jackson is in better shape than Lynch, though. So until Lynch (who ran it 8 times for 4 yards last week) shows he’s in good form, I’d take Jackson.
