    This week playing last years winner and he has been talking shit all year and its time to shut him up I need win bad.  Im on 3 game winning streak to get to 3-3, but this week my stud MJD on bye so hurting but think I can still win. These are my options
     
    Need one QB Campbell vs CLE or Orton vs MIN
    Need two RB/WR McGahee vs MIA, DeAngalo Williams vs NO, LenDale White vs KC
     
    I know options dont look good but lots of players besides MJD on bye this week.  Im in 14 person league so WA dont have much choice so tell me do I need to make a trade or try a major sleeper of WA my thinking right now is
    QB Campbell
    RB J Lewis
    TE O Daniels
    WR G Jennings
    FLX W Welker
    FLX McGahee
    FLX L White
    DE Wash
     
    Thinking is DW losing most carries to a rookie but blew his load against KC why can LW who is in the same situation do the same thing what better DEF to be playing to try to win your job back.  Also McGahee's first 5 games last year he started out slow but than 7 games straight with a TD.
    But mabye Im crazy and my team has no chance at all but give me your thoughts and if you have any questions for me feel free to post them and I'll give you my advice as well.

    Ive said this before that Ive been waiting for the bottom to fall out on Orton but each week he proves me wrong
    I say you can't go wrong with either QB
    Campbell is the safer pick Orton has homerun capability

    I am not a LenWhale fan and I think his role is strictly goalline and he will not be trying to get his job back because I don't believe he ever owned it C.Johnson is the featured runner in Tenn and he should have a monster day
    I would start McGahee assuming healthy,  they need to make him the focal point of the offense, this 3 headed monster they have don't seem to be working out well and DW

    Just my opinion, I don't mind your picks that you made they seem like safe one's but  it is all a matter of what helps you watch the games on Sunday w/o throwing the remote through the TV screen
    I will post my questions in another post look for them to give me a hand

    I think Campbell is the safe pick, Orton is your homerun guy vs Minny's weak secondary

    I go McGahee & Lenwhale who is goalline onlybut should cross the stripe atleast once
    C.Johnson I think has a big game

    I will post my ? in another thread

    I picked up Steve Smith and going to start him problem is over who cant decide if white or mcgahee should go to the bench

    also looking into picking up M moore because I like the matchup playing cinci and start him and smith over mcgahee and white what do you all think?
