No, Foster should not start over Maroney. New England faces the Bills, who has the worst run D in the league. Start Maroney. Foster has proven nothing.

No, I would not start Meachem over Moss. I like Meachem a lot, and the Bills defend the pass well, but for me Randy Moss is Randy Moss and I'm not sitting him in the biggest matchup of my season. For more on this:

Hey Jerod,
I've been hearing a lot of talk about this Arian Foster. Is he worth a start over L.Maroney. And also I have R.Meachem who has impressed me over the passed few weeks and should I start him over R.Moss because of his bad chemistry with his team. I'm in a PPR league.
Thanks

Happy to provide whatever assistance I can…but remember, I'm just typing words on a screen…you my friend are the one making the tough choices and hitting the SUBMIT button. So YOU moved your team from 8 to 3 and I congratulate you.

As to your lineup for this week, my advice would be to play Boss over Witten and that's about it. Tony Romo has not been looking for Witten in the redzone and he is banged up anyway. Boss will not get as many catches, but is a favorite of Manning's in the red zone. Are you in a PPR league? That would certainly even it a bit in Witten's favor if he's healthy.

Otherwise, your lineup is on point. Best of luck in Week 12!

Portis will have some value if he returns…but that's the question, will he return and when? Considering he has TDs in five straight games, I'd rather have Maroney than Portis. Snelling's value is all based on Michael Turner's health. He is hoping to return by this week or next, so you don't want to count on Snelling for too long.

Jerod, I had another i've been thinking on. I have Portis, Clinton RB WAS and he's been making none/poor numbers. Do you think it would be good to drop him and sign Maroney, Laurence (NE) or somebody like Snelling, Jason (ATL)? I also have the choice of picking Mike Bell.

Thanks a lot, man. I love your site and your advice. I try to do all of this on my own, but sometimes, like this week, I struggle a lot between 2 players. Thanks again from myself and everyone else who reads your site.

I’d still go with Ray Rice. I like your thinking, but Rice is really playing well right now, is more consistent that Mendenhall, and stays involved in the passing game. They both should have big weeks but I trust Rice more.

I'm needing some help and quick. I have to decide between Rashard Mendenhall and Ray Rice. Rice is an every week guy that I can count on. But I can't help but think that they'll be throwing the ball late in the game as opposed to running with Rice. Mendenhall is probably going to get a lot of work today running the clock out against the weak Chiefs D. Help me out, man.

As crazy as it sounds, I'd trust VY more than Cutler right now. Cutler has the higher upside because he can pop for 3-4 TDs any week, but he also has the potential for 3-4 INTs. If you think you might need 20+ pts from your QB to win, you have to go Cutler. But if you're going to be in a tight matchup and just need to make sure yet get 8-10 pts while reducing risk, VY is your man.

I wouldn't argue with you about playing Breaston over Maroney. Sammy Morris might be back to steal some carries away from Maroney and Breaston has been more consistent than you might think. Close to a toss-up in my mind so I say go with your gut.

I'd go with PT. Thomas will get more touches against Tampa Bay's D with Bush out. Cotchery is a solid player, but playing with a rookie QB always worries me.

Any tips on starting lineup? I'm thinking about possibly starting VY instead of Cutler I might want to put in Breaston in a WR or W/R slot.. Let me know what you think on that and anything else. Thanks!

Now that Slaton has been announced as the starter for Monday night, I'd go with him. Could be a high scoring affair.Sent from my iPhone
