C. Ivory, J. Stewart, J. Starks, J. Best or T. Choice?

*must start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K + 1 DE
(only have 13 roster spots for 8 starters + 5 bench players)

(2) QB's are Big Ben, Matt Ryan
(3) RB's are M.Turner, L. McCoy + L.Blount
(5) WR's are Calvin Johnson, Jennings, Nicks, S.Rice + my top choice to drop out of the 5 WR's is Mike Williams (TB)
(1) TE is Gates + (1) K is Crosby + (1)DEF is Jets


thanks in advance

I would actually pick up jonathan stewart..

he's the only running back thats going to be getting carries now with Goodson spraining his AC joint..not sure what that is..but can't be good.

I would stay away from Stewart. He did have a great game and he may be getting the most carries and I did pick him up and start him this week, however:

His next 3 games are against ATL, ARI, and PIT. Unless you have no option at RB2, thats only 1 out of 3 games where you would actually be advised to start him. I'm not saying everyone else has better matchups, but I am saying that Ivory & Starks may have a better chance of scoring points against a tough matchup than Stewart does with Carolina's turrible knucklehead offense

Mike Williams has a great matchup against Washington this week.

Thanks for the advice everyone. glb, I would keep Mike Williams for sure but I got Sidney Rice I was about to drop in heartbeat until he blew up this week.

I would go with Ivory for sure but his wk 15 @ Ravens + wk 16 @ Falcons seems kind of tougher than most.

Forgot to mention I am off for week 14 with 1st round playoff bye. So my (3) RB's have the following matchups in week 15 + week 16 (if I advance to championship):

McCoy- wk 15 @ NY Giants + wk 16 vs. Vikings
Turner- wk 15 @ Seahawks + wk 16 vs. Saints
Blount- wk 15 vs. Lions + wk 16 vs. Seahawks

12 team league->13 players per roster (Ivory was dropped last week by a person that was tempted to go with the bigger name, Reggie Bush )

we can only have 5 bench players out of our 13 roster spots so not much room to get depth at all positions + with injuries other owners are dropping some quality players and I am there to scoop them up!

like for example I got Hakeem Nicks on my squad cause one guy was probably not going to make playoffs so he needed a healthy productive receiver for wk 12 + 13 so he got Santonio Holmes to try to work a playoff run.
