I'm all in for anyone playing against Philly at this point. That defense can't stop anyone right now (and no way their issues get fixed in a short week) and their offense promotes shoot-outs.
Whether or not Chip Kelly's offense translates to success in the NFL, it is looking like a fantasy football wet dream, both for Eagles players as well as those playing against Philly.

Ok my running back situation is fucking terrible. I had Ray Rice and Steven Jackson and it is possible that both will be out this week. My backups are David Wilson of NYG(choke), Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling of ATL, and Rashard mendenhall of ARI. I know that Rice is a gametime decision but I work Saturday night and there is no way my ass will be up by noon to make the switch.
Do I.
1) Rice and Rodgers and hope for the best
2) Snelling and Rodgers and hope that ATL has a great running game day
3) Rodgers and Wilson and hope he has his fumbling down and NYG pulls their heads out of their ass?
And for those of you wondering about the flex I have Megatron, Fitzgerald and Jordy Nelson as my wide outs and they are staying right there.

is this a PPR league? I would start the guys who are most likely to touch the ball the most. I think you have to go Wilson and Mendenhall/Rodgers is a toss up.. They both have a lot to prove this week and Mendenhall seems close to losing his carries.. assuming Rice doesn't play. If Rice is in you have to play him. That case Rice and Wilson

tough one b/c you don't know how Rice is feeling..if he's playing it's hard to sit the guy. Wilson doesn't have the best matchup but he has the most talent out of the rest of those guys. If it was me I would probably start Wilson and hope he snaps out of it. I have Rodgers going but that's b/c I have nobody else. I'm hoping he gets me some catches..

Well, I hope you're right. I'm giving Vick the start over Brees.
For the rest of you, given my fantasy luck over history with choices like this, Vick and the Eagles will completely shit the bed tonight and Brees will set records. You've been warned.

Yeah, my advice up there was Kaep vs Vick. Brees qualifies as one of those studs you run out there every week regardless of match-up. Between the two I would have picked Brees, has just as much upside as Vick and isn't nearly the risk to either put up a stinker or get hurt.
Another reason not to carry 2 QB's. You get more quality depth out of your RB/WR bench slots and you don't end up over-thinking which QB to run out there week-to-week. There is so much depth at the QB position and it is so easy to grab a serviceable one off the waiver wire during your guys bye week, it just isn't worth carrying 2 QB's (unless you are in some crazy 16 team league or something).

Cecil Shorts, TY Hilton, or Bilal Powell in the flex?
I'd like to go Shorts, but he's playing Seattle. Powell is running well and the Bills suck against the run, but he splits carries too much with Ivory. Hilton seems like the safest bet.
As usual I guess I go the safe route. Working so far. I use this thread to talk myself in to players rather than get actual advice. I should erase this whole post but fuck it=P

Since nobody took a stab at this one.. I think I would go Powell.. Isn't TY banged up?

Yeah, Powell was sick this week too. Waiting to see what the reports on Hilton are after today's practice.
Part of me really wants to go with Cecil, because he's getting a ton of targets and is healthy. But man...Seattle D.
