Oh yeah.

I picked up Devery yesterday and since my WRs blow, I'm thinking about starting him. I need a WR2 and a Flex from Devery, Knox, Malcom Floyd, and Braylon (Manningham is my no. 1 WR :roll: ). Would you guys agree with Manningham/Devery/Floyd?

I think I would go with Knox instead of Floyd.. Especially if Roy Williams is not going to play.

Yeah, I'm still debating it.

My thought with Floyd is I watched what Chad fucking Henne did to the Pats secondary and Philip Rivers is slightly better than him, so Floyd should get some good looks.

Yea, but I also doubt Brady puts up 500 yards which kind of led to Henne putting up 400+. I could see Floyd doing okay, but I think Knox is more of a guaranteed 3-5 points no matter what.. Floyd could easily put up a 0.

Is it a W/T flex? If not, who are your RBs?

Devery - Knox - Floyd - Braylon IMO

RBs are Peterson and McFadden. I'm set there. My flex is RB/WR. My bench running backs are Michael Bush (I started him at the flex last week thinking Oakland would still give him a ton of carries), Ricky Williams, and Deji Karim.

Yeah you're in a pickle. I think Karim is safe to sit, and Bush got outplayed by that fullback whose name I can never remember.

Caddy and Reggie if Moreno is out which it looks like he is.

If Moreno is in I'd be tempted to say the same thing, but he's an easy swap for Reggie Bush too.

Or is this a no brainer?
Manningham over Bowe easily, regardless of the Nicks situation. Jacoby Ford is probably limited at best this weekend.

W/R Flex, PPR:
Kenny Britt (vs. BAL)
Plaxico Burress (vs. JAX)
Steve Smith (vs. GB)
Ryan Mathews (@ NE)
Jahvid Best (vs. KC)

...or drop one of the above for Reggie Bush (vs. HOU).

Britt and Smith have bad match-ups, Mathews and Best are both less than stellar options. Plaxico has a good match-up, but I'm still a bit wary on starting him. Reggie Bush will at least come up with receptions, if nothing else.

Amendola suffered a dislocated elbow week 1. I'd say he's probably not gonna play this week.

Shonn Greene or Darren Sproles?

Leaning towards sproles simply because the Bears D allows the under stuff and Sproles should break something off.

I know this is late as fuck but Sproles was the right call.
