well considering we won 4 games total in the previous 2 seasons and we've won 5 this year so far I consider that a major stride in the right direction. We will be in the playoffs next year for sure. Might even still be able to squeak out the division this year if Houston loses some games

I got some dilemnas who to start. Any insight is appreciated:

QB - Matt Ryan vs Arizona or Russell Wilson @ TB (leaning to RW)
Pick 2 RB - Jonathan Stewart @ Oak, Rob Kelley @ Dal, Forte vs Pats, Rashad Jennings @ Cleveland
Pick 3 WR (one is a FLEX) - Antonio Brown @ Indy, TY vs Pitt, Allen Robinson @ Buf, Davante Adams @ Phi

Ryan
Forte & Stewart (definitely not Jennings, he is trash. I think Dallas will stuff the Skins' run game, plus it could still be rbbc)
Brown (duh), Adams, and tough between TY and Robinson because Luck isn't playing.. I'd say Robinson for a trash time TD.

Then again, I am 4-7 in my money league

Then again they did drop 42 on the hapless Pack.

Here's the problem with Ryan - last four games he's scored ~15 twice, over 30 twice. He's boon or bust and AZ has the 2nd ranked def against QBs. Wilson however is more likely to generate points in between those marks, but will be more reliable. Keep in mind SEA is down a RB - I think he may throw more than usual. For me it would be how desperate you are for points. If you need a big strike and are willing to take the risk - Ryan. If you can get by with less points but with less risk - Wilson. Also TB is like the 27th ranked Def against QBs (according to ESPN). The sites I use have Wilson > Ryan by a decent margin.

I agree with Forte and Stewart. On a normal day I like Kelley better, but given he just lit it up last week and DAL is a good defense and will be looking out for him, that may tip the scale in favor of the other two.

Brown always. The two sites I use rank the rest going Robinson > TY > Adams in both standard and PPR. But TY's stock is tied to Luck IMO, and GB is going to have to throw because the run game is not good and I think GB/PHI is going to be a shootout. I think if Luck plays, maybe Robinson/TY. If not, Robinson/Adams.

Thx guys.You both say Forte but I'm worried NE will get up big as they can fast strike and then it's all throwing especially that Fitz is back.

FWIW, the sites I use have Kelley > Forte > Stewart standard, Forte > Kelley > Stewart in PPR. But, in both cases they are tightly grouped. Forte and Kelley are next to each other, Steward a 3-4 places down from them.

The problem is, people don't realize how bad the Cowboys will rape and go up on the Skins so they will have to pass to TRY to catch up and abandon the run game

I think the Cowboys should win, but it will be close. They are favored by 7 but the Redskins offense against the Cowboys weak pass defense - NO pass rush and injured secondary - will keep it tight.

The Cowboys better figure out a way to defend the pass or this nice season they're having will all be for naught.

Cousins dropped back to pass around 50 times and not one sack.

Just about as bad as the Chicago Cubs and their Dick Bumps after Ross's solo shot in the World Series...

Adams had 25.8 5/113/2TD. With my win I'm at 6th place for the last spot at 5-7. I have more overall points than my division leader and he's 8-4.

9 of our 12 teams are 7-5, 6-6 or 5-7. Crazy year for parity.

Of course the top two are in my division, so there are three of us at 6-6 fighting for the last spot. Going to have to chose wisely next week.

I've been in that spot too. But might work well for you if you can make it into the playoffs -
