“RB Steve Slaton has lost his starting job to Ryan Moats for Sunday’s game at Indianapolis, according to a report by ESPN citing coach Gary Kubiak. Slaton was benched last Sunday after losing his fifth fumble of the season.”
(Yahoo! Sports)

Secondly, some questions:

Pick 1WR+1 Flex (PPR):
WR Santana Moss – Consistency issues
WR Hakeem Nicks – Not enough targets for my taste but gets a long ball or two per game minimum. Hurts that Manningham will likely play this week.
WR Devin Hester – His injury pretty much counts him out but he’s still an option for my team however bad
RB Laurence Maroney – Will definitely get the workload and NE should be ahead early…
RB Ryan Moats – Given the info above, could be more plausible than Maroney this week

- Currently leaning Moss, and either Maroney (safe) or Moats (risky).

Pick 1 QB:
Hasselbeck – Can’t beat Detroit for a matchup but will he be protected if Detroit brings the pain?
McNabb – Always plays well against Dallas and is definitely on a hot streak
Schaub – 3 of IND’s 5 starting DBs are out and they will be starting two rookie CBs. If ever there was a situation ripe for a big game it’s here. But is it worth the risk?

- I’m leaning toward taking a risk on Schaub (mostly so I can root for him in multiple leagues)

Pick 1 WR (0.5PPR, 20 Return yards per point) :
Nate Burleson – He’s an undervalued monster in my book. Should get at least 4 for 60 and has a great matchup. Could get a few punt return yards as well
Mike Sims-Walker – Worth the risk? Should be good for 4 for 60 minimum. Definitely a flier.
Johnny Knox – Should get at least 75 return yards but no more than 4 receptions for 40. The question is will one of those receptions be a TD?

- I’m definitely leaning Burleson for consistency but the other two are great options as well. Not too big a deal since I have a huge advantage in matchup currently with Rodgers, Rice, Pierre Thomas, Dallas Clark, Welker, Tynes and GB defense starting.

Here’s a fun one. Pick 1WR, 1RB and 2Flex (standard):
QB Chad Henne – I’m not actually thinking of starting him.
QB Alex Smith – Technically QBs in standard formats score more points than other positions.
RB Ladainian Tomlinson – 2TDs last week. Back or not? Either way he plays the Giants defense.
RB Cedric Benson – Against Baltimore but for the most part I have faith.
RB Ray Rice – It’d be stupid to bench him after his role has increased.
WR Miles Austin – Reliance on long balls worries me.
WR Brandon Marshall – Not the best in his last two outings plus Polamalu is back.
WR Housh – Great matchup but how much will they need to pass?

- Let’s just say it’s a weird freakin’ league. Currently leaning Benson, Rice, Smith, Austin but was wondering mostly whether to replace Smith or Benson with Tomlinson or Housh.

Pick 1RB, 1 WR and 1 Flex (standard 9 team league):
RB Ray Rice – God in a football uniform
RB Ryan Grant – Can’t beat the matchup even if an NFL team was playing a Europa team.
RB Michael Turner – only a normal matchup
WR Colston -
WR Welker
WR White – injured?

- Currently leaning Rice, Grant and Welker. WR slot is the real issue.

Anyway, didn’t want you guys getting bored tomorrow morning while waiting for games to start!
