Slots:

Have these players:

RB Ray Rice

WR Andre Johnson
WR Hakeem Nicks
WR Danny Amendola
WR DeSean Jackson

TE Antonio Gates

So tell me who I should start. Right now I'm leaning Smith, Rice, Reggie Bush, Spiller, Jackson, Amendola and Gates.

I would swap Andre Johnson for Amendola.

a) Danny's only had one good performance this year, and he'll have to avoid Urlacher spying Bradford's throws in the center, plus its still up in the air how much Steven Jackson will be playing on Sunday, and the Bears have a pretty stiff run defense compared to the Redskins. If they don't get the run established then they'll probably put a man-corner on Amendola all game.

b) Houston has shown ground and pound two weeks in a row now. It's time to swap it up a bit and Matt Schaub needs the work at QB. Just like how a closer needs to be put in during garbage time in a baseball game if they don't have a save opportunity in the past week of games, they also need to give Schaub the ball to run the offense every month just to keep him sharp.

Keep in mind that Brian Urlacher can't move laterally anymore and the Bears Cover 2 always gives up passing yards. See: Reggie Wayne week 1.
Would you still start Amendola over DeSean Jackson?

This is a 12 team PPR league, btw.

If its a PPR league then of course you want to feature Amendola in your lineup somewhere.

Fantasy baseball:

Team A trades Strasburg & Ryan Zimmerman
to
Team B for Miguel Cabrera & Shelby Miller

Would you do that trade if you were Team A? Team B?
