Question: I need some advice for week 13. I need to start three players out of the following.
WR:
Laurent Robinson @ ARI (Miles Austin might be back this game)
A.J. Green @ PIT
Mike Wallace vs. CIN
RB:
Rashard Mendenhall vs. CIN
Ryan Mathews @ JAX
C.J. Spiller vs. TEN
Mark Ingram vs. DET
Pick 3 and tell me why!
Answer:
Ryan Mathews – San Diego is due for a win and the Jaguars fired their head coach and are using their defensive coach as a stand-in. Their lackluster offense should be an even bigger mess. Look for SD to pull ahead and give Matthews the go ahead late in the game to gain yards and eat clock.
C.J. Spiller- Tennessee has a staunch pass defense and Buffalo will likely use Spiller’s big play ability out of the backfield as a check down/screen player. With Jackson out, he’ll be getting all of Buffalo’s carries.
Laurent Robinson – Even if Austin returns, Arizona is awful against the pass and Laurent Robinson has a touchdown catch in five games and seven touchdowns over the previous five games. They won’t be benching him at this pace. Miles Austin may take him out of a few plays, but Robinson should still see plenty of playing time.

Question: Week 15: Start/Sit advice Fantasy Football (FLEX)?
I need 2 WR this week, so who would you start out of this lineup?
Steve Smith @ HOU
Mike Wallace @ SF
Laurent Robinson @ TB
Devin Thomas vs. NE
Best answer:
You always have to go with your studs and your studs are Steve Smith and Mike Wallace. Thomas is hit or miss. Laurent Robinson is tempting, but you gotta live and die with your best players. Laurent Robinson had a great game last week against the Giants and he’s stepped up for the injured Miles Austin. I assume this is the playoffs. Tough luck that Wallace is up against the stingy 49ers defense and Ben Roethlisberger is banged up.

Question: I need some help picking my RB/WR/FLEX for week 12.
I’m in a 12-man PPR league.
RB: Peyton Hillis, Beanie Wells, Donald Brown, Danny Woodhead. (Pick 2)
WR: Roddy White, Andre Johnson, Mike Wallace, Santana Moss, Mike Thomas (Pick 2)
Flex: Anyone out of the RB or WR above. (Pick 1)
Thoughts? I have too many good WR to choose from and not enough RB choices. I am 6-5 so far this year, with 3 losses by under 10 points.
Best answer:
RB: I would go with Hillis and Woodhead.
WR: Start Roddy White, Andre Johnson and Mike Wallace. Those are all very easy choices. You have great wide receivers, but running back is a problem.
FLEX: Beanie Wells.

Question: I need help setting up my week 4 fantasy roster.
Pick three WR:
Calvin Johnson v. Green Bay
Larry Fitzgerald v. San Diego
Kevin Walter v. Oakland
Mike Wallace v. Baltimore
Demaryius Thomas v. Tennessee
Derrick Mason v. Pittsburgh
Pick two RB:
Ray Rice v. Pittsburgh
Pierre Thomas v. Carolina
Brandon Jackson v. Detroit
I feel that I absolutely have to go with Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald even though they have had just mediocre years so far to say the least. Kevin Walter has performed well so far this year and the match p looks good, especially since Asomugha will be covering Andre Johnson. As far as my running back picture is concerned, Rice has a tough match up and he’s a going to be playing hurt. Pierre Thomas has a good match up but he also has some injury concerns, and Jackson hasn’t shown me much this year. What do you guys think?
Answer:
Man you are screwed this week. All you WRs are facing some strong passing defenses.
Ray Rice should struggle against Pittsburgh even if he was healthy.
Pierre Thomas has a great match up, but he has some injury concerns.
I have Brandon Jackson so I feel your pain. I’m also afraid that the Giant’s Kuhn is going to steal Jacobs TDs at the goal line.

Question:
QB – Now that Peyton Manning is out, would you start Matt Cassel vs. BUF or Colt McCoy vs. CIN? Matt Cassel has already said he will play despite rib injury.
WR: I have Marques Colston @ GB and Mike Wallace @ BA. Should I replace either one with Brandon Marshall vs. NE?
RB: Thomas Jones vs. BUF or Ryan Mathews vs. MIN
Answer
QB- I would go with Cold McCoy vs. Cincinnati just because Cinccinnati has a terrile defense and the threat of Peyton Hillis will not help.
WR- I would go with Marquest Colston vs. GB just because GB dosent have a great secondary.
RB- Ryan Matthews vs. Minny just because he is there bona fide starter while at KC Thomas Jones is 2nd string for Jamaal Charles.…

Question: Which WR would you go with in Week 6?
I have the following wide receivers:
Reggie Wayne (@ WASH)
Randy Moss (vs. DAL)
Mike Wallace (vs. CLE)
Eddie Royal (vs. NYJ)
Brandon Tate (vs. BAL)
I’m in a 10 team league and have 4-1 record.
Reggie Wayne and Randy Moss pretty much are must start right now for me, unless you convince me otherwise.
My WR3 option is where I need help. With Denver playing the Jets, it should open up the slot for Royal much like it opened it up for Harvin. It would leave Lloyd covered deep and Revis potentially out. Wallace is getting Big Ben back and playing a poor Cleveland Team. Wallace is poised to see the biggest upside with Big Ben coming back. Tate is supposed to be featured a lot more with Moss exiting to Minnesota. But the addition of Dion Branch is a little concerning.
Answer:
Eddie Royal should get a lot of looks with Brandon Lloyd being covered by Cromartie and Mike Wallace should become productive again with Big Ben back. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. However, I would go with Mike Wallace since Cleveland’s defense is a complete joke.
