Honestly, I don't sit Brady for either of those QBs. They may very well get more points, but that play is going to lead to second guessing yourself every week. Also Brady is one of the QBs closest to a guaranteed top performance week in an week out. The Patriots will continue to throw the ball. He may not score as much as either Romo or Dalton this week, but he is less likely to flop in my opinion.

Makes sense. I'm going with the Brady/Edelman combo and hoping for he best. I don't expect another two score game from Edelman, but he's pretty much the only trusted target Brady has. From PPR perspective it's worth it. I could live with a ten catch, 90 yard sort of game.

Celek. More opportunities in Chip Kelly's high octane offense. If you're looking for a sleeper TE that you can stash, consider Joseph Fauria of the Lions. He only had three catches last week but one was a short TD grab. He's a tall, athletic target and with the amount of attention Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush will draw going forward he could be a big time red zone threat.

Good suggestion. But after seeing him do that weird George Michael touchdown dance, I can't do it. He'd be a cancer in my locker room.

I started Brady over Eli Manning and Russell Wilson. Was the best option available because Manning plays the Broncos and Wilson plays the 49ers both of which have pretty good D's.

Tough one. (In a good way, though)

Gut says Colston & Edelman. (Assuming Amendola is definitely out, haven't followed his injury really) Not sure if the Cowboys will over-work a less than 100% Dez against a less than stellar Chiefs squad.

But I could easily see all 3 scoring double digits even without PPR.

I went with Edelman. He got 21.2 points in a PPR league with 13 catches for 78 yards. Good stuff.

I have a feeling Colston will get more points than a banged up Dez against a solid Chiefs D. Dez just did not look good against the Giants and his health might be worse this week.

I think Manning was the best play there. He's going to be throwing a ton in that game.

Different PPR league. Flex options are as follows:

Daryl Richardson @ ATL
Golden Tate vs SF
Vincent Brown @ PHI

Ok here's my dilemma:

I'm currently down 108-106. My opponent has no one left to play. I have my flex spot open, with BenJarvus Green-Ellis in it currently. Sitting on my bench are: Mohammed Sanu, Isaac Redman, and Emmanuel Sanders.

Who do I start? Obviously, I'm disfavoring Sanu and Redman. Do I trust the law firm?

so...Eli didn't play so well.

I went with Eli over Romo which turned out to be a mistake but it's not like Romo went off. It didn't kill me though thanks to Jimmy Graham
