Pricer's Picks - week 5

[Matt Price]

Oh and what are your thoughts on Flacco @ KC or Rivers @ NO? Both hit or miss QBs with great matchups

Like you said, both have great matchups so flip a coin. I'd go with Flacco. I think at this point he has a much higher ceiling than Rivers with about the same floor.

[Matt Price]

One more time: Ridley(NE) or Brown(IND) ??

Ridley and not close. Brown could be trivialized in what is likely to be somewhat of a shootout.

[Matt Price]

I am curious on this one too I have Rivers and Dalton (vs MIA).

Rivers should be a strong play against that Saints D. No?

1 point 50 yds 6pnts TD.

Rivers has a great matchup for sure but Dalton has the hot hand. The Miami's defense strength is in the running game. Their pass defense is still very suspect. In fact AJ Green is my #1 overall WR play this week.

Going with the guy running hot, Andy Dalton. Flip a coin though if you like. Both great plays this week.

No luck on trading for a QB?

I would deal SJax and Stevie for McFadden. I would not deal SJax and Torrey Smith for him. I think you are right on target here. I still would prefer a QB upgrade over anything else, but yea if you can get McFadden go for it. I would wait until after this Sunday though so you can play Torrey Smith this week

nah not getting a decent qb. I guess I could trade Stevie+Daniels or something for a guy like Dalton and play the matchups with Rivers, but I spent last week targeting Stafford and RG3. Came pretty close on both actually, but they decided to wait a week. I think I need a good week or two from Rivers now before I can package him for an upgrade.

Ended up trading BJGE for Nicks, since I would be benching him this week anyways. Hoping Nicks will be ready for week 6.

A guy offered me Spiller for Sjax+Stevie but I think that would be too much of a gamble. I actually think SJax looked really good last week so I'm hoping he can produce tonight and get some value again.

Do you like A.Brown this week for the Steelers?? I think he needs to bust out soon!!

[Zorro]

Who would you start here........??

NE or SEA special teams and defense..

[hockeyrobot]

Gonna break in here again...great advice so far.

With Nicks out should I look to pick up Hixon? If so...who do I drop? Battle, Ingram, Hunter or even Kaeding (now that I own Greg the Leg Zuerlein)?

Law firm for Nicks was a great trade. Really nice work.

Do you like A.Brown this week for the Steelers?? I think he needs to bust out soon!!

I like both Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace as strong WR2 plays this week. If I had to choose I'd take Wallace in non-ppr and Brown in ppr.

[Matt Price]

NE or SEA special teams and defense..

Defenses are such a crapshoot week to week, but give me Seattle.

Yes! Pick up Hixon asap.

Keep Hunter for sure. Maybe even plug him in this week as a flex play. You don't need to own Ingram or Battle, but there is definitely no need to carry two kickers so drop Kaeding and grab Hixon. He is a fantasy WR3 with WR2 upside this week.

Also who should I play Cobb or Stewart this week for flex

[PocketRockets05]

Hey Pricer,

I own Nicks, and Hixon somehow is still available as a FA in my league so I'm thinking of adding him before someone else does, but I kind of like the upside on my bench players, so I'm not sure if any of these guys are worth dropping for him.

Here are my bench WR's:
WR - Malcom Floyd
WR - Randall Cobb
WR - Brian Hartline
WR - Andre Roberts

Do you guys think I should drop any of those guys up above for Hixon, or should I just hold tight and stick to what I have? In this league you can start 3 WR's, and my other 2 usual starters (along with Nicks) are Marshall+Torrey Smith.

Thanks!!

[Burgundy]

I've got a (good) problem each week trying to figure out who my RB starters will be. This week I've got:

McCoy @ PIT
MJD vs CHI
Forte @ JAC

Also have McGahee and Mendenhall on the bench. Trying to figure out which 2 to start from the above list and leaning McCoy and Forte, as I just don't like MJD against the Chicago defense this week. What do you think?

Another question mark is Antonio Brown vs PHI or Malcolm Floyd @ NO? Thanks in advance.

[Zorro]

Pitta or Celek this week?? What to do?? Are they both going to be used as pass blockers most of the time?? Who has the better chance at getting me a score?? Anybody HELP!!
