Matt in KC

Don't overthink it. Brady and Ben are great starts. Kaep is promising, and could end up running like crazy some week, but there is a better chance of the other two have monster games. I picked up Kaepernick too, as a backup to Ryan. They both have very good matchups weeks 15 and 16 for the playoffs. I would start Murray for sure and either Hightower or Coleman. I favor Hightower because Coleman has only rushed for 9 yards on 8 carries since October and the Chiefs defense has really been playing well with Justin Houston back in the line up. That said, Coleman looks like he will be a much better play in week 15 (when I assume your playoffs start) at home against 32nd ranked SF, instead of Hightower on the road against #1 Arizona. I hope you didn't start Asiata!

I would play Winston, but think Palmer is also going to have a good game. Either is a much better choice than Tyrod, who is too hit or miss to bet on with your other options. Locks: Hyde, Gordon, Evans, OBJ Flex: Ingram I too have Kelvin Benjamin. I think he could be monster if he got on the same page as Newton, but he is hot and cold as well. I am sitting him against the seahawks in favor of Brandon Marshall (vs. Indi) and Gore (at Jets) I had Bennett but dropped him (I have Kelce too). I hate trying to figure out the Pats. My guess is Bennett blocks more this game against the Rams. Then again, I am not crazy about Ertz. I would probably start Bennett thinking it is likely either will get you somewhere around 5-8 points, but it is more likely Bennett will explode for a big game. Defense: Hard call between Phili and the Dolphins, both on the road. I would go with the Dolphins and their winning streak. Pressure by the offense really helps a defense, and I see that coming more from the Dolphins O than the Bengals without AJ Green. Good luck!

27 Raiders 23 Bills Bills end the game in FG range, a missed PAT costing them a chance in overtime. That said, how awesome would it be in the Bills stomped the Raiders on the road?

Orchard Park Overland Park, KS. I grew up in Rochester.

My fantasy football team is having a charmed season, and I am playing a team starting AJ next week, so I am not too worried. In this circumstance, I expect either just 80-90 yards with one TD, or just over 100 yards without a score. If not for the my team's FF magic, I would expect somewhere around 8-10 catches, 150 yards, and 1-2 TDs. Yes, this is better than any WR has done against the Bills this year, but AJ is a beast, better than any WR we have faced, and we really miss A Williams. The saving grace may well be the bye week and extra planning to stop him.

I expect this to happen in the next 5 years. Identifying, reporting, and suspending NFL players for weed does nothing for the NFL. They are spending time and money to tarnish the image of the league. I think the average Joe thinks NFL players get caught using drugs all of the time. This is an opportunity to take a large portion of these headlines away. The only counter-argument I can think of is that the NFL, in not specifying what drugs were identified, is using weed as a cover, leaving fans to be unsure if the league is being too harsh (suspecting weed) when they might come away instead thinking players were often trying to cheat (steroids, HGH) otherwise. What portion of drug violations in the NFL do you think is due to THC detection?

I agree with 170 yards, and for an over/under I would set it at 1.5 passing TDs. He might well have a rushing TD as well.

And for the record, I am not concerned about winning tonight, mostly just sharing. The academic questing is what do you think is the likely difference between McCoy and MG tonight if all repotrs are that McCoy looks and feels good, and is going to start?

I enjoy the discussion too. I need (informal fantasy football support group) help making the right choice for tonight. I am one point behind going into tonight's game against a team that has played its full team already. I have one RB left to play, and have McCoy and Gillislee both on my roster. The third tie-breaker in my league for the playoffs is points scored (after record and head-to-head). I want to play McCoy if all signs are he is healthy, eager to play, and of course actually active. But that is crazy, right? Note: MG has scored 2 fantasy points or less three week this year, including against Miami two weeks ago. . . . .

Bills 19 Seahawks 17

Too late to help, but I would say my preference is: 1. Landry - he has struggled, but I think he is a good bet this week against an awful Jets pass defense. My guess is he gets 100 yards and re-establishes himself as a real player in FF 2. Adams - I think this is a high-scoring game. But playing at home I could imaging the Pack taking a big lead and laying off the long throws. With Moncrief and TY Hilton healthy, who knows. This could just be a shoot-out 3. Robinson - the KC pass defense is suspect, but I think the JAC offense is more suspect! 4. Enunwa

Citing three individual plays means absolutely nothing. The Bills have the 5th best Red zone offense in the league so far this year. That throw to Bush was very close to a TD. There was nothing wrong with that play call other than you preferring something else. I would have thrown or have Taylor run it in from 5 yards out if I was calling the play.

Great move. With Williams hurt, I don't see anything to complain about, at all. They can always cut him again if another better option is found. Low/no risk, high reward.

Any chance we can petition to have our bye week moved up?

I would probably play: Adams - This could turn into a shoot-out in Atlanta Stewart - I know Arizona is tough, but they are at least in Carolina and the Panthers are coming off a week of rest. I think Stewart is the safest for points, but likely has a lower ceiling. Enunwa - It sounds like Joe Hadan and Jamar Taylor (starting CBs) are both going to play for the Browns. I would start Enunwa over Stewart if it turns out Haden is playing but not Taylor, as Enunwa would likely turn into the primary target for Fitzpatrick

I don't think the Bills will trade for Torrey, but I would really like the statement this would make that ownership is committed to winning now (or next year).

I agree, that was about the most one-sided game I have ever seen without the Pats as the winning team for the first 3 quarters or so until the Jags showed a little life. I thought Henry looked great at RB rushing around end for TEN. I think he is going to be a factor in FF next year and beyond, even though he is trapped under Murray. My opponent is starting Brees this week, so hopefully you made a bad decision. I would definitely start Miller and Forte. Stewart is strong flex play.

Did you play Hurns? He put up solid numbers eventually after a horrible initial showing by the Jaguars. (Did you watch it?)

1. Either one, I would say; it is close. If I had to choose, I would probably pick Luck, who has has real problems with his protection this year, but is facing a Chiefs team with only 8 sacks through 6 games this year. 2. I would start Gilleslee. I don't think Shady is going to play. Hurns has a tough match-up @TEN 3. M. Thomas been consistently good recently. In .5 PPR I'd be tempted to go with Thomas, but against Seattle? Hmm... His 18 targets the last 2 games is much better than Maclin's 8. It's hard to say what is up with Maclin this year, but I have a feeling it will be a good game for him. That's about all I have to go on. Sorry, I know that is basically worthless. He has been under-performing but is still a favorite target in the offense that just hasn't been passing much. Both are ahead of Howard in my mind. I think I would pick Maclin.

Okay, I'm a moron.

Wait a minute, top three in receptions, or yards?

Clay McCoy Hunter

Dez Lewis time?

Re: Bennett, I can never tell anything from the NE injury reports. Who knows? He practiced yesterday (limited) so I suspect he is fine. My choices certainly get clearer if he (and/or McCoy) are out. Brees does seem to have a pattern of playing better at home and indoors over the last year, but I would still start him over Mariota this week. It is supposed to be a calm beautiful Fall day here on Sunday, so no wind, rain etc.. After last week, I think you need to just say to yourself "He passed for 465 yards and 4 TDs last week. He is a stud. I am not going to over-think it." If Mariota shows more consistency (and strong results) I think you entertain the idea of switching.

Me too, though you might want to lower your expectations a bit and give the kid a chance to acclimate and grow into his new role. Maybe he'll get to Bruce's level by next year. . .
