OK, so I screwed up...I didn't listen to you and kept Ryan Grant AND Kevin Jones on the bench...I admit it...I am a BLEEP!!
So, can you help me redeem myself? Here's my question...
I have Fitzgerald, Welker, Marshall, Burress and Hackett as my wide receivers. I need 2...
Fitz, Burress and Welker are on your "cannot bench list", however, Hackett is projected to have the best day of them all. But, he didn't practice Wed or Thurs. You also have Marshall projected to have a better day than any of the "cannot bench" crew. I can't see starting Burress after his injury and he performance the past few weeks. I have Brady as my QB, so if Welker has a good day (hoping less looks go to Moss), I can double my points. I am having a tough time with this one!Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

I have a question at the QB position as to who should I start....
1) Rivers
2) Grossman
3) Croyle
4) Testaverde
Need 2, I sat Clemens vs. Dallas, which was good. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

I have another WR spot for this weekend (My second spot, Roddy White, was both a big gamble and a winner for me on Thanksgiving). I can decide between Hines Ward and Steve Smith. Supposedly Steve Smith can play this weekend, which I expect to be a good play against the sluggish NO secondary. I am worried about the extent of Smith's lingering injury though. He is not 100%. Knowing Smith he will go full speed and not think twice about it. I'd rather not play Ward, which is not getting a lot of love (throws) from Big Ben. Pittsburgh seems to go to the TE's a lot more lately. Miami is still winless though, and I expect that to continue this weekend. Can Ward really get a piece of the cake this weekend or should I rather sit him out ?

Do I start Hackett or Cribbs? Hackett gets the catches but Cribbs gets the return yds.

Both Bobby Engram and Kevin Walter have posted huge numbers this year. They both mirror each other in that big name receivers have now come back from injuries and are getting more targets. Considering the matchups who still has the value and who would you start between these two this week?

Hey Roger,
Which DST will bring bountiful bonanzas through the fantasy playoffs? One of the leagues I'm in only scores for INT, FF, DFR, TD and Saftey's. The oppenents offensive yardage and scoring has no value on the DST's performance (so no negative scoring and no bonus pts). I alreadt have the Colts because I like their matchups (weeks 14-16), but they don't always put up the numbers (Ind vs Atl = 6 pts). Available are Cards, Bucs, Dallas, Jags, Vikings, Chiefs and Redskins to name some possibilities. Of particular importance is my week 14 matchup where my most likely oppenent has Brady vs Steelers (not availble). The Steelers might slow him down a little, but I'm not counting on it.

Thanks Roger!

Roger, your opinion please.

Plaxico Burress is killing me! 4 Crappy weeks in a row. Granted, he goes against the worst pass defense in the league this week...is this the week he breaks out of his funk, or is the ankle just too bad for him to be much of a factor?

I also have TJ Houshmandzadeh, Chris Henry, & Lee Evans. Typically start TJ & Plax. See a better combo there?

Thanx!

Hi Roger,

I read and trust your ratings each week but have a QB question for you this Sunday. I see that you have Eli Manning vs. Min ranked and projected to do FAR better than Kurt Warner vs. San Fran this weekend. Do you really feel that Eli is that much of a better play with Plaxico's ankle, or is it based on the defenses as I figured that both pass defenses are pretty bad and that Kurt would put up very solid numbers...potentially better than Eli.

Thanks for the clarification!

Hey buddy, Here is my situation...I have 5 strong players for my NON PPR league and can only select 3 of them. It's a tough call considering some are on your can-not bench list & others seem to be strong performers. Here's my options:

S. Jackson vs Sea
J. Lewis vs Hou
L. Fitzgerald vs SF
B. Edwards vs Hou
E. Graham vs Was

I'm leaning towards S. Jackson, B. Edwards, & L. Fitzgerald. Do you disagree? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Ok, I'm starting Cedric Benson because I feel he will get more carries this week, so if Selvin Young is injuried how is Justin Fargas as a replacement? Also, Drew Brees or Jay Culter on the starting position?

Roger-

Steve Smith has not done anything for me this year, do you really think he will do good this week? How well do you think Maurice Drew-Jones will do? Thanks for the advice..

Ok... somewhat of a toughie here. Do I start B. Westbrook (Phi) against the tough rushing defense of the Pats (6th), or should I play it safe with R.Dayne(Hou) against a 28th worst rushing Cleveland defense? Although B.Westbrook has been very reliable so far with the fantasy points.

Due to an injury at wide receiver, I need to find
another option this week. Who should I start Joe
Jurevicius or Isaac Bruce? Bruce is closing in
on a milestone in receiving yards but I'm leaning
towards Jurevicius. I think it's going to be a
shootout in Cleveland. I would appreciate your
advice...

ROGER;

SINCE HOLMES IS OUT WITH A HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, SHOULD I DROP HIM AND PICK UP ANOTHER RECEIVER OR RB KEVIN JONES, K SMITH OR A HALL OF THE WIRE?

I have TJ Housh and I need to play one other WR. My choices are Plaxico Burress and Chris Henry. I am hesitant to play Henry because he is on the same team as TJ. Which one should I play?

Is there any chance Ricky william is going to play this weekand steal carries away from Chatman? If not will Chatman be healthy enough/and or a better play than Rudi Johnson this weekend?

what 2 out of 3 would you start? Brian westbrook, willis mcgahee, and chester taylor? Im not sure if chester taylor is going to start because peterson might be back. Also he is playing against the giants. westbrook is going against the patriots so Im thinking he might not do much. What do you think?

I'm torn between starting either Brees or Warner. I noticed Brees did not have a good game at home against the Panthers in their previous meeting. Since SF doesn't score much I don't see Warner putting up big numbers since they probably will be running a lot after taking the lead.

Hey Roger, I need help this weekend on RBs. I have to start 1 because I started Ryan Grant on Thanksgiving Day. I have Earnest Graham, Lawrence Maroney, and Rudi Johnson. Who should I start? And also, someone in my league dropped Jesse Chapman, so should I drop Rudi johnson to pick him up to use in the coming weeks because the schedule looks pretty good for Miami or should I not pick up Chapman. Thanks Roger and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
