    No. Texans only returned 29 kickoffs all of last year (Manning led the team with 13), which is where you get your big return points. Dolphins are also pretty good at getting touchbacks.

    Use return yardage to your advantage, but Holliday is probably not your best bet.

    Tebow is too big a threat to Greene right now.

    My only concern is the Bills allowed almost 140 rush yards and 19 rush td last season. Out of the 3 RB, they were the wrost D.

    I like Greene the least, but I also like to play guys going against poor D.

    I guess they did upgrade their D line with Mario...

    Who is the best returner in the league that gets catches or running opportunities?

    Sproles
    Hester
    Leon Washington
    Brandon Banks
    Randall Cobb
    Antonio Brown
    Tedd Ginn

    I'm sure Sproles and Brown are already owned. Cobb would probably be my favorite.

    They also added Mark Anderson, along with the underrated Kyle Williams. I expect they will be a much improved defensive front.

    Here is my lineup:


    QB: M. Vick

    RB: C. Johnson, J. Charles, M. Turner, R. Bush, I. Redman, R. Mendenhall, B. Wells

    WR: B. Lloyd, L. Moore, B. LaFell, D. Bess, K. Britt

    TE: J. Graham

    DEF: Minnesota

    K: R. Bironas

    Standard league so I have

    QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, FLEX, TE, DEF, K

    Obviously I am asking for advice covering my RB/WR/FLEX positions.

    Definitely starting C. Johnson and B. Lloyd but after that it is up in the air.

    Any suggestions?

    Yikes. That has got to be the worst WR depth of any team I've seen so far.

    Obviously I'd play Charles as the other RB.

    I guess go with Lance Moore as WR2.

    For your other 2 flex positions I suppose I'd go Turner and Bush.

    It all works out. The guys in my league love running backs so I snatch them up quick. Once I've racked up 4-5 wins, I pick on the lesser teams in the leagues. Last year I neglected on QB but turned Ahmad Bradshaw and Joe Flacco into Drew Brees. :) Don't worry, that area will improve.

    Is it too soon to be picking up this Ogletree WR racking up points tonight? :confused: He's available in my 8-team league.

    I'd say yeah if your are stashing guys you feel strongly about but people are snatching him up quick all over the place.

    I picked him up...10 team 3 WR + flex league and WR is my weakest position. Before I got him, he was owned by 5% on yahoo. Now it's up to 24% lol. Who knows what it's going to be after this weekend.

    Pick up Ogletree if you need a WR. I thought Dwayne Harris would be their WR3, but obviously Ogletree has won that job.

    Romo goes to his WR3 so much that anyone who can catch will be a good WR2/WR1 fantasy option. Laurent Robinson was the beneficiary last year in that spot. This year is Ogletree. Also, I see the return of Miles Austin this year. Dez Bryant owners should be even more cautious. He may be the odd man out. Room will look to Austin and Ogletree a lot as long as they're healthy.

    So this thread, opposed to the "should I..." thread is strictly for weighing "player X to player Y" type decisions?

    Would I be better off with Juron Criner (OAK) or Randall Cobb (GB)? Standard scoring, last spot of my roster, just looking for an upgrade to my flex spot longer term (R.Jennings this week, but a 1A-1B rb situation can't be that rich)

    Cobb.

    Criner has been hobbled, not sure if hes going to be a factor.

    I think Davis will get a lot of chances due to the Skins probably having to throw a lot to keep up with the Saints offense.
