Alright.... I am in the semi-finals in my league and I want some suggestions on what I should do. Here is my team:

QB - P. Manning, RB - M. Lynch, RB - B. Powell (NYJ), RB/WR - M. Wallace, WR - Megatron, WR - Garcon, WR - M. WIllaims (TB), TE - Pita, Texans D, K - Gostkowski

Bench: QB - Dalton, WR - Hartline, RB - M. Owens (Jacksonville), TE - Pettigrew and M. Lewis (Jacksonville)

Lynch, C. Johnson, Texans D, and the kicker are a done deal. I am pretty sure that I will start Manning at QB but I am tempted to start Dalton with the match up against the Eagles. I have to start Powell b/c he is pretty much the only option I have at RB.

Here are the questions I have. Garcon is good but with RGIII on the mend (and the same thing with Wallace with Roethlisberger) do I put Hartline in their place? I have Owens on my bench but he is the starter for Jville, so do I bump him to the flex spot and change out one of the other WRs? Thoughts?

I have Wallace in one league and Hartline in another, I would stick with Wallace since Rothlisberger is back he scored around 24 pts this past week and i had him on the damn bench. Hartline hasn't been very dependable he's been up and down all season

I'd move Wallace to the other starting WR, bench Garcon and move Owens into your flex.

Wallace is facing the Cowboys who can't do squat at home, the Steeler running game is underperforming, plus the Cowboys have had a number of injuries defensively, and they just put their slot corner Scandrick on IR.

I don't trust the Redskins to tell the truth about RGIII's injury. Personally, with a sprained knee they'd be insane to actually play him this week on the road against a Browns team that is on a mini-roll after narrowly losing to Dallas in OT, then beating the Steelers, Raiders and Chiefs. They should play Cousins and that makes me feel Garcon's scoring will take a step back.

Owens is the man in the JAX backfield right now. Granted the Dolphins have a good run defense, but they average giving up about 100 yards a game and Owens is basically the only guy likely to get the carries.

And I'd probably stay with Manning at QB. but that's just me. He's at home and the Ravens defense isn't what it used to be. But Dalton's match-up with the Eagles is very very tempting. Only downside possibly is that it is in Philly, but their defense stinks this year at home or on the road.

I watched the Ravens-Skins game from start to finish. The Skins offense did not skip a beat when Cousins came in, in fact, he seemed to have a bromance with Garçon on that last drive. Garçon has emerged as a beast in fantasy. Go with him regardless of QB. Unless of course, it's a AZ Cardinal QB.
