    Suprisingly I have to go with Adrian Peterson because he should sneak a touchdown in and get about 70 yards. A good game for a flex spot.

    Peterson

    He's been effective when given the opportunity and will get more chances to do that this week vs the Giants. He might not have an outstanding game but he will probably get you more points than Maroney or White (who's been stinking it up lately less a 100 total yards rushing in the past 3 games).

    Chicago ranks 31st in rushing offense and the Giants are 8th in rushing defense. People seem to think Peterson is the next best thing since sliced bread...well, we'll see this week, 'cause he's got his work cut out for him.

    Although New England ranks 8th in rushing, Baltimore ranks 5th in rushing D allowing only 2.8 yards per carry and the fewest rushing touchdowns allowed all year....only 4.

    Calvin Johnson is your man this week. Minnesota ranks last (32nd) in passing defense. Plus, Calvin Johnson has been playing great recently. He has a touchdown in each of his two previous games, and caught 7 passes for 83 yards last week against the Packers.

    LenDale who? Lendale's total stats for the last 3 games he's played:

    Attempts 29 (9.7 att/game)

    Yards 81 (27 yrds/game & 2.8 yards/att)

    TD's 0

    They say you should always use a RB in a flex situation. This week, I'd go against that and expect about 70 yards and a TD for Johnson. Second choice would be a gamble that Peterson is really a superhero in disguise. Every NE TD will be by air, and Baltimore will not let Maroney do much, so he is my 3rd choice. Lendale is not a choice.

    I'd go with LenDale White.

    he plays a beatable HOU run def (ranked 22nd) and should be able to notch a TD and decent (say around 20) rec. yards.

    the other AP plays a tough NYG run def. (ranked 8th) but should be good for around 70 and a TD. behind White i'd put him at #2 of your choices.

    Calvin, while a nice matchup vs MIN, is inconsistent and while i'd play him as a #2WR, i personally like to go conservative with the W/R slot. Johnson here is an inconsistent choice and DET has so many decent WRs besides.

    Baltimore D, while crappy vs. the pass, is great against the run. and after last week's close game vs PHI i see NWE will come out to make a statement. Maroney's been a letdown all year and i don't see that changing here.

    good luck.

    Adrian Peterson. He's got the gig in Chicago and the offensive line loves blocking for him because he's a workhorse, unlike the previous RB that is now hurt.

    Calvin Johnson...

    Kitna will be forced to go to him if Williams does not produce...even if Williams does produce well, factor in that Minn D is good, and Kitna will be forced to look at more than just one option. Also, Kitna is probably going to stop throwing so much to his 3 & 4 recievers, meaning more looks at Johnson and Williams, my call, start Williams against a decent Min D

    Calvin without a doubt

    Kitna will throw to him no matter how many people on him and even though Minn. had a good week last

    that wont continue, they have one of the worst pass defenses in the league
