    He's all they've got, really.

    If he was healthy and/or the game was on Sunday, I'd plug and play him. And I have viable options.

    I'll let you know if I'm ready to jump off the roof later tonight.

    I was having a great night. I have Mike Evans, opponent has Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
    And then the garbage time TD happened. I'm still up 18-8, but 18-0 was so much nicer.

    First chance I got to see the Bucs. A weird team. Jameis is kind of the king of the garbage time numbers.

    The Bucs played like a Lovie Smith team with a lot on the line.

    Well, Gurley had a nice game, fantasy points-wise, but he didn't go off for 20-plus, so I'm OK with my decision. I think I can get similar numbers from Ivory against Dallas and David Johnson (though I haven't checked on Ellington's status lately). I also just got Charcandrick West back, and if Ware can't play (he hasn't practiced yet this week), West could be in line for a big week.

    Has to be frustrating for those who did start Gurley (or those of us who didn't start Austin) to see a WR vulturing TD runs.

    Or when he got stuffed on back-to-back runs from inside the 5.
    Need some help SJ. I need two running backs from the following (no PPR, no partial points on yardage):
    Chris Ivory. Bryce Brown. Frank Gore. Latavius Murray.
    Ivory seems to be a lock. I'm leaning toward Brown because it's Cleveland, but I could see him splitting carries and that backfiring. Can Murray produce vs. Green Bay?

    I'd go with Murray, but I don't feel strongly about it.

    Murray has been up and down for me. Rain is expected to continue through the weekend in Oakland though.

    Thinking Brees (at DET) over Bortles (vs. ATL) this week and Ginn (at NYG) over Hilton (vs. HOU). I suppose I'm going with Gore (vs. HOU) over McFadden (at NYJ). I don't feel great about that one, but the Jets D worries me.

    Might have been a mistake benching McFadden. His 11 points weren't huge, but it was a solid game. He's only the fourth RB this season to rush for 100 yards against the Jets. The Jets still have allowed just one rushing TD.

    Gore's floor today frightens me.

    I'm still wondering if I should roll with Ginn, or pick up a LaFell, Shorts, Floyd or Woods to get a better matchup.

    Hasn't Floyd been going for 100 yards or so the last four weeks? I like those odds.

    What do you think of this lineup? I'll have my other options next to the starters

    Wilson
    McCoy
    Hightower (West, Ware, Starks, Langford, Brown)
    OBJ
    Calvin Johnson (Hurns)
    Barnidge
    West (Hurns)
    Boswell
    Steelers

    If Ware is certainly not playing, I might start West in the flex, but Hurns has been so good this year minus one week. Am I crazy to sit OBJ because of the Norman? I don't think I should sit Calvin as the Lions are playing NO.
    EDIT: Maybe West over Hightower and Hurns in the flex?
