Smith, Lloyd, Blackmon, McFadden, and Rodgers

QB: Brees
WR: Cruz
WR: Cobb
WR: ? Torrey Smith, Brandon Lloyd, Blackmon
RB: Charles
RB: ? McFadden, Vereen, or Jacquiz Rodgers
TE: Witten
Flex: Torrey Smith, Brandon Lloyd, Blackmon, McFadden, Vereen, or Jacquiz Rodgers.

I'm very reluctant to start Smith for the same reason I sat Lloyd week 12. Smith was shut down last time they played Pitt. Lloyd and Blackmon are facing weak passing D's so I as leaning towards them as WR3 and Flex.

It sounds like McFadden is back this week but will he get meaningful snaps? Not as though he's been a stud. Whereas Rodgers is coming off a good game getting more touches while Turner keeps looking bad and will be facing a poor NO D. Vereen had a huge game but that was primarily off one play and I don't see him as start worthy against a stronger Miami rushing D.

Thanks.

Think I wold go Rodgers and Blackmon and DMC at Flex if he plays. IF DMC is out I would chance Lloyd. but don't expect much.. he is still better option than Smith against Pit secondary.

Blackmon this week at WR McFadden has been "close" for 2 weeks now. I had him last year and he was "close" for 10 weeks. If the Raiders were smart (and they don't impress me as such) they'd keep Reece as he's a much better inside runner and real load. Use Limp DMC as a 3rd down back.

I actually very reluctantly gave up Ridley for McFadden Cruz and Gronk (guy isn't an idiot, it's a keeper league and Ridley has good value) thinking that as long as he actually came back those guys would give me more production than Ridley against tough rushing Ds in the next few weeks. It's starting to look like I may have been better off with just Ridley.
