I play in a point per reception league, really need some help on who to start. Can start 1 RB/ 3 WR or 2 RB/ 2 WR

I have:

Forte, Westbrook and Deangelo Williams

also

Berrian, Holt, Bruce, Bradley, Roy Williams, Koren Robinson

I'm going with Forte and Bradley, need to decide between Westbrook and Williams for RB #2, and then I really have no clue on my #2 WR. This is a week I really really need a win....

I think you can pick and choose with your RB's. All of them are solid choices. I'd go with Westbrook and Williams over Forte, but Forte will still put up good numbers. Since you said you'd play Forte, I'd pair him with Williams, only because Westbrook might not be 100%.
Wide receiver is tough. I'd definitely play Bradley and I'd probably go with Berrian, although the matchup sucks. I might even go with Roy Williams, but it's more risky.

Westbrook and forte for sure

I want to say berrian but he doesnt really get the ball much usually 2-4 receptions as hes usually used as a deep threat but he can find the endzone.

id say bruce and roy williams! just because its point per reception

I would also trade deangelo williams for a wr since ur lacking in that department if thats all you have. good luck

According to Fantasy Guru Rankings, you have the 2-4 RB's this week. Forte is a lock, flip a coin for the other RB. Go with Bradley, and Berrian or Harrison. Others are rated pretty low.

I would shop Westbrook for a stud WR.

Berrian is on the same boat as Edwards this week coming off a game with no looks think he will have some good stats this week. Problem is you are playing point per reception (shitty way to play IMO) hard to think any of those guys are going to fetch you big catches.

Sadly I think you should play Isaac Bruce and Bernard Berrian at WR and you MUST play Westbrook and Forte. Don't forget about the PPR that is huge with Westbrook (29 catches) and Forte (37 catches) over Williams (13 catches).

Only question is where were you when they were handing out WR's? That is one shitty group man.

Yeah, bad group of WR's. I had Owens, but traded him for Forte a few weeks back. Owens, Williams and Holt were my top 3 WR picks, thought williams would step up in Detroit, thought Holt would get 80 catches this year. I have a rock solid team everywhere but at WR, if I can just get some scoring from the wr's, I'll be ok.

That was a good trade for you. WR's are the easiest to find on the ww too. Holt is basically done (consider him vs Chicago next week however). Roy Williams is getting you nothing until he gets a game with Romo.

Yeah, I picked up Bradley this last week, he has potential to give me some good games, especially this weekend against the saints. I have plenty of WR's, so will play the matchups, but the matchups this weekend suck. I'm leaning Bradley and Harrison, but might go with Bradley and Berrian as I think the Vikings will have a tough time running on the TB defense.

After further review, I will go Harrison. Wayne is dinged up, and Harrison has had great games vs Houston in the past.
