The Blue Board

Sit Cobb

Yeah I'm thinking about that but he has so much potential and can break a long one.. If Norv Turner wasn't so damn incompetent, Matthews would be a LOT better.. Some games he doesn't even get 10 carries.. He does not use him enough running the ball, no screen passes for him or routes for him to run. That stupid coach is wasting Matthews talent because the sky is the limit for him.. When healthy.

I'm probably going to sit Nicks but I'm still not sure. Cobb has been a machine with 7 TD's in his last 5 games and has been a top 10 fantasy WR this season since the Jennings injury.

I'm not sitting Colston, he's been a beast all year and owns the Falcons.. Plus, Asante' Samuel and Donta Robinson might not play on Thursday night.

I would sit Mathews and play the 4 you listed. You can't rely on Mathews especially over those other guys.

Even if Jennings comes back Cobb will play just as much. The staff and Aaron are really high on him. He won't lose any snaps and is looking to get a few more carries too.

I would say sit Mathews. Unimpressive all year and that won't change until Rivers steps up.

Here's mine:

I need 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE and 1 Flex (WR/RB/TE)

RB Ray Rice
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Alfred Morris
RB Stevan Ridley
RB Beanie Wells
WR Andre Johnson
WR Hakeem Nicks
WR Randall Cobb
WR Miles Austin
TE Jermaine Gresham
TE Scott Chandler

Right now, I'm thinking Rice, Morris, Johnson, Nicks, Ridley, Gresham.

I'm missing out on a first round bye, because of a loss by .14 points. I was up 45 points going into the Monday night game and my opponent had the Bears defense and Miles Austin, so what does Romo do? Throws a TD to Austin and then 2 to the Bears defense plus 5 interceptions. Absolutely the worst loss I have ever had in fantasy football. He was the top team in the league at the time and I thought I had him beat. Worst part is that we were the top 2 scores of the week, would have beaten any other team.

Nothing worse. Im 9-3 with 2 losses by a combined 2.6 points.

Hopefully that didn't knock you out of the playoffs or anything. That would suck even worse.

LeSean McCoy has been ruled out for Sunday. Miles Austin is day to day.

It's hard to do without looking at the match ups... Without the match ups though.. Here's mine:

RB1 - Ray Rice.. Must start in every league, no matter the opponent.

RB2 - Morris or Ridley.. Morris has had 10 or under Fantasy Points (Standard League) his last 4 games... Ridley has 18, 15, 8, 15 Fantasy Points in his last 4 games.. Might want to check the matchup here, tough call because Morris can have "one of those games" any Sunday.

WR1 - Hakeem Nicks (75 yards and 78 yards with a TD his last 2 games) FINALLY healthy, been either hurt and not playing or limping when playing.

WR2 - Randall Cobb.. I'm a huge fan of his, he's been a top 5 WR his last 5-7 games... Had a downgame his last game but so did the entire GB team.

TE - Jermaine Gresham.. I think this is a no-brainer with him and Chandler unless Gresham is playing the 49ers

FLEX: Well, this solves the Ridley/Morris issue.. Morris or Ridley here.. Morris or Ridley in your RB2

This is what I would do, personally.. WITHOUT looking at match ups.. Match ups are a big deal, obviously.

Yeah it's a tough one... I'm a big fan of playing as many starting RB's as possible. Always been my "style", always try to draft a starting RB for my FLEX. That's why I like Morris in the Flex and Ridley as the RB2, with Rice at RB1.

I had a game earlier this year that came down to my opponent having PIT D/ST @ KC on MNF. I went up 1.8 pts as KC kicked a FG to tie as time expired.

I lost by 0.2 three plays later when Cassel threw his first INT of the game in OT.
