   Ray,

   Football question if I can. 10 team standard league. We HAD to draft 2 Ks, TEs and Ds and could only draft 4 RBs. I went CJ, Matthews, Ridley and Leshoure. Nobody drafted Rashad Jennings.

   We only get 5 (free) FA moves per year. Right now my flex (until Matthews plays) is Torrey Smith.

   OK to start Smith or should I use a FA move to pick up Rashad Jennings and start him at flex Week 1? I was all set to pull the trigger on that but then I saw that MJD might get 8-10 touches even though he just reported. At that point I figured Smith might be just as good.

   Thanks Ray.

   Fish – I would totally have taken Jennings over Leshoure. However, at this point, since you only have five moves, I cant say to do anything. With MJD back in the fold Jennings role will likely return to handcuff in a few weeks. Since you only have five moves, I wouldn’t do anything.

   hey ray, 10 team h2h playoffs start next week 1 catcher league. Would you drop Brian Mccann for Iannetta, Lucroy or jesus montero. Or should i just keep em . thanks again

   Wesley – problem is, when we are talking 2-3 weeks of games, it’s nearly impossible to know. For all I know McC could hit .325 ROTW and Iannetta .235. When talking small sample sizes, so hard to know.

   With McCann’s ill health, I’d add Lucroy slightly ahead of Iannetta.

   Morgan – Glad the draft guide worked out well for you.

   Only spot that doesn’t stand out is Celek, and he should be fine in a 12 tm. Since you only start 2 WRs, the lack of depth you have at that position isn’t likely to kill ya.

   Hey, so I’m in an 8 team PPR H2H league and struggling to choose 3 WR to start.

   Dwayne Bowe
   Vincent Jackson
   Jordy Nelson
   Demaryius Thomas
   Justin Blackmon

   What do you recomment?

8. By Ray Flowers on Sep 4, 2012

   O – In an 8-team lg, you are going to struggle every week, and likely make a bunch of miscalculations. Just how it is in such a painfully shallow lg. I’d go Bowe, Nelson, VJax.

10. By Ray Flowers on Sep 5, 2012

    Randy – This week I’d go with Romo and the other squad from Texas – HOU.

12. By Ray Flowers on Sep 5, 2012

    Randy – On Sunday Mornings I answer start/sit questions on Twitter @siriusxmfantasy from 10a-1p EDT.

    As of right now, I’d say Helu, but that’s a pretty rough bunch.

    Ray, I’m on the bubble for playoffs and this is the last week, do you think I should keep McCarthy in against the red hot Angels today?

14. By Ray Flowers on Sep 5, 2012

    Matt K – I’d sit him. He has a poor track record against ANA, and last time against them he also didn’t look great either.

15. By Kevin W on Sep 5, 2012

    I would go with Romo also, if they can with the turnover side of the game only though
