Fantasy Football: Play 'em or Bench 'em Discussion!

I pretty much predicted Brees' numbers to Aki before the game, got my 4 TD and came back from 29 down to clinch a spot yesterday :D

Trying to figure out what to do with my flex this week:

DeSean Jackson vs ARI
Eddie Royal @ NYJ
Ricky Williams @ STL

Keep in mind, in my league, I get a point for every reception and a point for every 20yds rushing/receiving. TDs are six points for either.

My initial thoughts are that Jackson is the top receiver in PHI, but with a struggling QB. Royal has been solid, but DEN is traveling all the way to the east coast for an early game. And of course Williams will be picking on the whipping post that is the STL rushing defense.

Right now I am leaning towards Jackson. I'm thinking being at home and having ARI traveling all the way to PHI on a short week after one of their toughest games of the season could work out in my favor.

Thoughts?

I'd probably go with Royal but I'd love for him and the Broncos to continue to slide He's been about like Slaton this year with a bad week followed by good one all season, and he was 2-14 this past week. I'd pick him over Jackson in a 1 point per reception league. He's Denver's Welker when he's on, and I'm expecting the Broncos to put up a decent fight through the air (hopefully in a losing effort) at the Jets. Traveling east hasn't hurt the Broncos yet this year, as they won the only game they came over here for, so that might not be a factor.

I wouldn't think Williams will be as much of a factor as Bess will be in that game, but you never know how StL is going to lose week-by-week, so he could have 2 TD's for all I know



I finally ran into a possibly sit/start problem in the 2 QB league, and need some input. I've got Matt Ryan playing @SD, Brees @TB, and Pennington @StL. Obviously I'm starting Brees, but I'm not sure about Pennington vs. Ryan. Ryan seems perfectly happy letting the run win games for them, and had no passing TDs last week, whereas Pennington got me 3 TDs and a rushing TD on the bench StL is weak, but Camarillo is gone for the season too. So basically: Pennington or Ryan?

edit: also this one, need 2

Antonio Bryant vs. NO
Deion Branch @Dallas
Dwayne Bowe @Oakland
Steve Breaston @Philly

I think Bryant is one that stands out for me as a starter, and maybe Bowe on the bench (he's gonna have Nnamdi Asomugha on him all game). Aside from that, Breaston and Branch seem like a toss-up to me.

I can't decide which 3 of my 4 RBs to play this week:

Adrian Peterson vs CHI
Marshawn Lynch vs SF
Chris Johnson vs DET
Warrick Dunn vs NO

It seems Peterson has the worst matchup, but, he's the best of the 4. So, I pretty much have to start him. Marshawn Lynch should have a field day against SF, so he's a starter too.

Here's where it gets tricky. Chris Johnson SHOULD rip Detroit apart, but he's been subpar the last couple weeks and usually loses the goal line carries to LenDale White. New Orleans could put up some big offensive numbers which may force Tampa Bay to pass the ball and stop running it.

I think I'm going to go with Peterson, Lynch, and Johnson. What do you all think?

White might also get more touches after he complained about his 3 carries last week.
