I got 2 positions I am debating, QB and got 4 great WR (its 1pt per reception league as well) but I can only start 3 of the 4 WR I have.

QB
Big Ben at home versus a stingy and great pass defensive team in Denver.
or
Alex Smith at the Ravens (who are terrible against the pass)?

(Right now I am leaning towards Big Ben for his potential upside to get to 30-40 pts, where Alex Smith is going to just get it done and put up his 18-25 pts.)
WR
this is my bread and money position all year. I can start 2 WR and a flex position. I have 4 great receivers just need help in which ones to start this week.

I am starting
Demaryius Thomas- been a tagert magnet but got small injury. I think he is must start.

So that leaves me with 2 spots left and 3 great receivers, which 2 do I start?

-A.J. Green
- Eifert is out so more red zone touches for AJ. (however without Daulton as QB) versus an ok 49ers defense who since week 9 (including week 9), have given up 5 passing TD to WR's in the last 6 games.

-Allen Robinson- no explanation needed. He has been on my bench most of the season in lieu of the 4 WR I have but he had only 7-8 pts last week with his least amount of targets (4) last week. However he scored 5 TD in last 3 games.

-Larry Fitzgerald- weeks 8 thru 13 he was targeted 11 or more times. Week 14 he was only targeted 6 times and finished with 9 pts. He is $$$$ but they have so many weapons on offense. He is playing against my eagles who have given receivers big games but have been really good on defense the last 2 weeks. Malcom Jenkins will be covering him who is one of the best defensive players the eagles have. Fitz always has great games against the Eagles as well but has small injury too.

(Right now I am leaning towards, Thomas, Robinson and A.J)????? but would love to start Fitz

I'm torn, what 3 receivers would you start out of these 4. Please help. Thanks in advance for help.

Demaryius Thomas, A.J. Green and Larry Fitzgerald. All are #1 WRs on their respective teams. Good luck!

Agree with your choices -- not sure I could ever start Smith over Big Ben regardless of matchup. Tough decision at WR, but a banged up Fitz on the road is my lowest ranked of that group. GL

For me, Robinson is locked in and go from there. Robinson is a 12 td guy already this year. Fitz is a target monster with 97 catches.

A good free site I use is fantasypros.com It allows you to compare and even allows you to import your league for matchup and advice. You still have to tweak it but works well for me.

haha go figure... well you can't really go wrong on any so good luck! I'm in the second playoff game to make the championship game next week. I picked up Lockett last week off FA due to that site and it paid off big for me. Good luck!

Thomas 10 catches, 100 yards 1 TD
Larry Fitz 5 catches, 60 yards 1 TD
Allen Robinson 6 catches 60 yards 1 TD
AJ Green 6 catches 67 yards 1 TD


BOL
QB Alex Smith – – 220,1

QB Ben Roethlisberger 280 1td
