Flex: Woodhead vs Sproles ?
Ignoring the slow week 1 Woodhead has outscored Sproles by 14 on the year, plus Matthews is likely out. Though the NE/NO game could feature plenty of scoring (50.5 o/u).

TE: Cameron vs Gates ?
Hard to sit Cameron but with Gordon back and Weeden looking uncomfortable vs the Bills is now the time to swap in Gates? Similar to Woodhead vs Sproles Gates has outscored Cameron since week 1 by 4 points and the Monday night game should be high scoring (50 o/u).

Number one I say either way your right. Both are nice options. Flip a coin. I think Sproles has more upside though. NE Def will try and take Graham away. Sproles should be very busy.

Weedon blows and Gates looks good. I think it all comes down to matchup and the better QB. Gates!!!

Heres one for you Pierre Thomas or the much maligned MJD. Im leaning toward Thomas but heres what I think. Blackmon being back helps that offense tremendously. Its a blessing that Gabbert is hurt, Henne looks much better behind center for the Jags. MJD is playing himself in to shape and should get better as the season progresses. Defenses now have to respect the threat of Blackmon and Shorts. Denver will squash them but MJD should still touch the ball 15 times. What say you?

Woodhead and Sproles are the same guy to me, Woodhead probably gets double digit caries this week. I would go Woodhead now but an hour from now I might say Sproles.

I have Cameron also, riding that train till it falls off the tracks, could be sooner rather than later though.

Coming off a career game with 28 touches, at the expense of Sproles, I would find it hard to sit PT. Even at 50% of last week's output ex the TDs, PT likely outpaces MJD this week. Though your comments re Jax are spot on I'd wait a week to start MJD vs SD at home.

Definitely some slippage last week from Cameron...one more 6 point week = off the tracks? thx for your thoughts


on a coin flip like woodhead vs sproles anyone else start the player playing in the primetime game just for entertainment value?

Though if Ingram plays he'll eat into PT's workload....

Need to start two of the four at RB and Flex:

Spiller, FJax, Lacy, or D. Williams.

I don't like Lacy's matchup this week and Bills RB's against Cinn isn't exactly comforting. I'm leaning towards D-Will but having trouble picking the other.

I think not starting Spiller would be over thinking it.

Flex: T Williams or G Graham

and in another team L Hankerson or T Ginn

Spiller is a must start every week unless injured. I love Lacy and Jackson has played lights out. I don't think I would sit Lacy against anyone. He put up decent stats against SF. Lots a running room for him in that GB offense. What has Deangelo done this year? Squat!! Williams is the first guy I sit. I think you are overthinking the matchups here.
