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: Who should I start or sit in week 7?
RB:
Ryan Matthews vs. Patriots – Start
Thomas Jones vs. Jaguars – Start
Brandon Jacobs vs. Cowboys – Sit
Chris Ivory vs. Browns – Sit
My instincts tell me to start Ryan Matthews and Thomas Jones. Ryan Matthews is going to be at home against a team that is ranked 20th against the run. If Chargers can put up some early scores, they will run the ball a lot more in the second half. Ryan Matthews has been averaging 5-6 yards per carry the last two weeks despite his low scores. Thomas Jones is up against the Jaguars at home, who have played poorly against the run, enough said.
WR:
Larry Fitzgerald vs. Seahawks – Start
Deon Branch vs. Chargers – Start
Kenny Britt vs. Eagles – Start
Lance Moore vs. Browns
Jabar Gaffney vs. Raiders
Davone Bess vs. Steelers
TE :
Vernon Davis vs. Panthers
Benjamin Watson vs. Saints
Tony Moeaki vs. Jaguars
Answer:
I would play Thomas Jones and Chris Ivory. Ivory actually plays against the Browns tomorrow and Jones plays the Jaguars. Those are two of the easiest match ups you will ever get. Keep your WRs as is. Vernon Davis at TE obviously. That’s not even a question.
