Question for my team. Demaryius Thomas on bye so Mike Williams or Brandon Gibson?

Also Reggie Bush on bye so Mikel Leshoure against Bears or DeAngelo Williams against Cowboys?

League is PPR...thanks in advance!this could be the difference between 6-1 and 5-2

I'm huge into FF. If it's me i'm definitely going with Greene. Ride the hot hand, he gets the most touches and gives you best chance hands down over Rice or Manningham.

I would drop your extra kicker and defense IMO, pick up a few other players. Having kickers and defense on your bench is wasting other skill positions you could add. As for the players you'd have to choose from, I'd choose Greene personally.

I admit i don't know what PPR means, Points Per Reception? if so then yes

"10 yards per point; 5 points at 100 yards; 8 points at 150 yards; 10 points at 200 yards"

the rest of my team is pretty stacked so i'm not too worried, just want to get this last spot filled out.

Unless you have like the Bears and Ravens.

Gibson will be solid in a PPR until Amendola comes back, so I'd play him. Then again, if you need a HR, Williams probably has a much higher chance at a TD or 2. But I'd garentee Gibson will be solid in a ppr for a couple more weeks.

As for the RB's, flip a coin. Bears D is solid against the run, but Leshore will get most of the work and perhaps a goalline carry or two. I've never been a big fan of DeAngelo being in that timeshare.

Does not give you the best chance, here are the PPR stats between the two. Greene had an unusually good game, look at the 4 weeks prior to that. Manninham on the other hand has been trending up all year because he is finally getting on the same page as Smith.

So there is a good chance Greene gets you under 10, and a good chance Super Mario gets you over 10 in my opinion based off past results this years. Look at the trends. I also said Manningham was the safer play (he has outscored greene 4 out of 6 weeks), which you can easily see by the stats. With the team he has, he does not need a homerun. And Greene hits a homerun about once a year. Well, that week is done this year.

It is not a hot hand, it was a one week miracle. If you play Greene, don't be disappointed if he gives you 5 points.

Agree with this, 2 defenses are sometimes nice to be able to play the matchups, but nobody ever needs 2 kickers. It is such a crap shoot with kickers, you need to drop one and pick up a high upside guy, or a felix jones to fill in for you this week if Bradshaw isn't healthy.

I just picked up Crosby today because my other K has a bye week, and i can't decide which Defense i want to keep.

i'll drop a K for sure and see what else i can find
