I need about 6 points tonight.  I have to start one of Forte or Bush.

Thoughts?  Who is more likely to score a TD?

Bush, but don't quote me

Bush, but don't quote me

Yeah I would say that as well especially given Bush was seemingly the short yardage back when both guys were healthy.  Forte will probably have way more yards and receptions though.

I'd also echo the Bush sentiment.

I'm going Forte in a PPR league, I need about 30 points to win from him, so I hope Bush is a poor call.

Oh I would start Forte over Bush, but his question was who is more likely to score a TD and that I believe Bush is the answer.  Forte should get way more carries, receptions, and thus yards.  I can't see him getting you 30 points though.  That is a ton.

Yeah, I had Crabtree, Reggie Bush, Vernon Davis, and Percy Harvin all under-perform, and my opponent started Peyton Manning, Steven Ridley, and the SD Defense.

I had banner performances from Cam newton and Victor Cruz, but I'm still 30 points shy.

This is on ESPN's website.

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte will be a game-time decision to play against the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football," coach Lovie Smith said Monday morning.

He asked to not be quoted.

Forte is starting, so I went with him.

[indeedproceed]

Well I didn't get my 30 points from Forte, but Roy didn't get his touchdown (he needed it to beat me in another league), so small victories (absent stat corrections...)

Ha.  Yeah, losing by something like 0.8 points sucks.  4th quarter garbage time killed my chances.

[Rondo2287]

got my first win of the season this week even though Stafford continues to underperform and Bennett scored me no points. 

Hopefull Big Ben does work for me this week.

Also, I think at this point I have to go with the Law firm over Ryan Matthews right?

2 trades I'm considering.  2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 W/R flex and you get .5 per catch

My team
RB - Arian Foster, Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris, Doug Martin, and Ryan Williams
WR - Dwyane Bowe, Danny Amendola, Demaryius Thomas, Denarius Moore

2 trades being considered
Richardson and Morris for Ray Rice and Lance Ball (filler)

Morris and Martin for Andre Johnson and Donald Brown


I think I'm leaning towards doing the first trade as Rice and Foster would be a monster 1/2 combo and Richardson and Morris do have the same bye. I'd also still have Martin and Williams for bye weeks or flex along with one of the other WR's.  That said I can certainly see the merit in adding Andre Johnson as my WR's are much less consistent than my RB's and I would keep Richardson as my #2 RB.

I would do the first one in a heartbeat
