Jones also has the ability to “climb the ladder” to get out of trouble in the pocket. When he escapes the pass rush he’s constantly keeping his eyes downfield looking to make a play.

As you can see, 2012 has the potential to be a great QB class if the top 3 decide to go pro. This year’s class couldn’t hold a candle to the talent we’re going to see next year.

Should I go with the Broncos’ Decker or Chiefs WR Steve Breaston this week in my points-per-reception league? I have a feeling Decker may have a big game against the Lions. What is your feeling about Broncos RB Lance Ball? I’m not a believer in Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno and think Ball may emerge while Willis McGahee is out.

— Jon, Castle Rock

Lammey: Your scoring system tips the scales in favor of Breaston. I believe Decker could get into the end zone this week against the Lions, but we saw a lack of targets for him last week against the Dolphins. Broncos second-year WR Demaryius Thomas had double digit targets last week and is simply a more attractive target than Decker because of his size, vertical leap, and ability to make big plays downfield.

The Chiefs have been gelling as an offense over the last few weeks, and I expect them to come out swinging against the Chargers on Monday night. A big reason for their turnaround is the emergence of Breaston. The savvy veteran has been the perfect target opposite superstar WR Dwayne Bowe. Breaston should get more targets and receptions than Decker, and thus should be in your lineup.

The Broncos RB situation will be an interesting one to watch while McGahee is out with his injured hand. Moreno will be the starter, but don’t be surprised if we see more from Ball. I believe Moreno is best used as a situational runner and receiver out of the backfield. When the Broncos need to grind they’ll turn to Ball to carry the rock. Unless they get behind against the Lions early expect more from Ball than some people think.

I have a couple of questions for you this week. I was offered Titans RB Chris Johnson for Cowboys WR Miles Austin. Should I do that deal? Also, should I pick up Cardinals RB Alfonso Smith or just stick with and start Browns RB Montario Hardesty? The bye weeks are hurting my team, and I need help!

— Greg, Kersey

Lammey: I expect Johnson to have his second 100-yard game as the Titans face off against the Colts this week. However, that has more to do with the Colts’ poor rush defense than it does Johnson. I know Austin has been hurt and he’s a disappointment for fantasy owners, but I would not do this deal. When Austin has been healthy he’s looked good and will always be one of QB Tony Romo’s favorite targets.

Giving up Austin is simply too much for a player like Johnson. Ever since the Titans gave John the big contract he wanted, Johnson has not looked like the same player. He’s still super fast but doesn’t seem to have the same willingness or desire to run between the tackles.

I would go ahead and stick with Hardesty in your starting lineup. The Browns’ starting RB Peyton Hillis has been missing practice and is unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers. Hardesty almost had over 100-yards rushing last week against a very tough Seahawks defense. San Francisco had a bye last week and to date are ranked second in the NFL, giving up just 74.7 rushing yards per game. They also haven’t allowed a rushing TD this year. It’s an incredibly tough matchup but I can trust Hardesty more than I can trust Alfonso Smith. He’s not a creative runner and has a tough matchup himself as the Cardinals take on the Ravens.

I need to start two RBs, two WRs, and one flex player from the following list. I have Eagles RB LeSean McCoy, Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno, Chargers FB Mike Tolbert, Browns RB Peyton Hillis, Redskins RB Roy Helu, Broncos WR Eric Decker, Bengals WR A.J. Green, and Chargers WR Vincent Jackson. Who starts and who sits?

— Mike, Lakewood

Lammey: You have a nice group of players here Mike. I would put McCoy and Tolbert in as your starting RBs. McCoy is fresh coming off the Eagles’ bye and one of the biggest weapons in the league. Tolbert will again split time with RB Ryan Mathews in the Chargers’ backfield, but I like his chances at getting into the end zone at least once. At WR I would start Green and Jackson. The Bengals are coming off a bye too, and will be missing starting RB Cedric Benson due to a suspension. This means the passing game should be featured more against the Seahawks.

Jackson was on “Revis Island” last week against the Jets, but should break free against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Picking your flex position is a little more complicated. It would be Hillis if he was going to play this week. It looks like he’s a game-time decision for Sunday and may not play against the 49ers. This makes Decker your choice, although Helu is very close.

I expect Decker to have better chemistry with Broncos QB Tim Tebow going forward and we could see them hook up for a TD against the Lions on Sunday.

I need a bye week QB with my main starter Falcons QB Matt Ryan out for the week. Should I pick up Chiefs QB Matt Cassel, Lions QB Shaun Hill, 49ers QB Alex Smith, Rams QB Sam Bradford or Redskins QB John Beck?

— Michael, Colorado Springs

Lammey: It looks like the Lions will start Matthew Stafford at QB this week against the Broncos, so that takes Hill out as an option. We’re unsure if Bradford is going to play this week, so the Rams may be forced to start A.J. Feeley at QB again. This makes Cassel the answer for you.

The Chiefs have been playing better as a unit in recent weeks and Cassel will want to shine at home on Monday night. The Chargers are the league’s third-ranked pass defense in terms of average yards allowed per game (175.7), but they have coughed up 10 passing scores through six games. I always love having a key player (or two) on Monday night. That way if you’re down on Sunday you can always think “at least I have a guy on Monday night!”

I have a question about a couple of Vikings WRs as they seemed to play better with new QB Christian Ponder under center. If WR Percy Harvin plays though his rib injury should I start him or WR Michael Jenkins?

— Bryan, Aurora

Lammey: I don’t trust Harvin because of that rib injury. He may start the game on the field, but one wrong hit and he could miss the rest of the contest. This team played much better with Ponder leading them. The Vikings were inspired by the rookie QB and he showed really good chemistry with the veteran Jenkins. I believe we could see Jenkins continue to make big plays so long as Ponder is their QB. With defenses so focused on shutting down RB Adrian Peterson it has opened up one-on-one coverage for outside WRs like Jenkins. He’s not the fastest player but showed great concentration and hands against the Packers in week 7. Jenkins could be a waiver wire addition that helps your team get to the fantasy championship.

What do you think of Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders? He’s available in my keeper league and I’m kind of thin at the WR position. Also, should I go with Chargers QB Philip Rivers or Cowboys QB Tony Romo? I’ve been disappointed in both thus far this year, but need one to play big for me on Sunday.

— Ryan, Longmont

Lammey: I love Sanders and if he’s on your waiver wire then I would pick him up. We’re seeing Hines Ward slow down as a receiver and Sanders is his eventual replacement. If you can keep him on your roster for next year I think he could really break out for your team. Sanders was a speed guy (just like Mike Wallace) when he came out of college but has become a better route runner over the last two years. He should continue to develop into a quality second receiver with Antonio Brown working as a big play slot receiver for the Steelers.

I’m a Romo and Rivers owner too, and share in your disappointment. Something doesn’t look quite right with Rivers. He insists that he’s not injured, but he’s not playing with as much precision as we’re used to seeing from him. I would go with Romo here as the Cowboys should pick on the Eagles’ linebackers and safeties in coverage with players like TE Jason Witten.

The bye weeks are such a pain! My team has been rolling with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, but now he’s off this week. I need to pick one of the following: Redskins QB John Beck, Bengals QB Andy Dalton, Rams QB Sam Bradford or Vikings QB Christian Ponder.

— Erik, Lakewood

Lammey: The answer for you here is Dalton. The Bengals are coming off a bye and facing the Seahawks, one of the toughest run defenses in the league. They will be without starting RB Cedric Benson because of a suspension and thus should throw more than people expect. Dalton has some great weapons around him like WR A.J. Green, WR Jerome Simpson, and TE Jermaine Gresham. This makes Dalton a great fill in QB for Week 8.

Who emerges for the Redskins at WR now that Santana Moss will be out for the next few weeks? Should I play a guy like Redskins WR Jabar Gaffney over Colts WR Pierre Garcon this week?

— Jon, Parker

Lammey: The Redskins are going to give WRs Anthony Armstrong and Niles Paul more of an opportunity now that Moss is going to miss the next few weeks with a broken hand. Armstrong is a speedy receiver who can make big plays happen downfield. Paul is more of an underneath receiver with good run-after-the-catch ability.

I watched Paul up close during the week of practice for the Senior Bowl earlier this year and came away impressed. He basically turns into a RB when he has the football in his hands and is very difficult to bring down in the open field. I also saw great concentration from Paul and he has the ball-tracking ability to catch passes over his shoulder consistently. I think Paul and Gaffney will be the WRs John Beck now turns to for production.

But I would still not start either player over Garcon this week. The Colts were embarrassed against the Saints last week and should show more heart and fire this week against the Titans. Garcon is clearly the favorite target for Curtis Painter and could finish the week as a top-15 fantasy WR.

I have a couple of questions for you about trade scenarios in my non-PPR league. What can you get in return for Redskins RB Ryan Torain? Should I also toss in Colts WR Pierre Garcon? I’m a disgruntled owner of Colts TE Dallas Clark. Could you please rate the following: Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez, Redskins TE Fred Davis, Jets TE Dustin Keller, Lions TE Jermaine Gresham and Titans TE Jared Cook?

— Steven, Arvada

Lammey: The market for Torain is very cold right now, but that could turn 180 degrees after this Sunday. Torain should be the lead back for the Redskins now that Tim Hightower is out for the year. They have an easier matchup against the Bills this week, and Torain could have more than 100-yards rushing and a TD on Sunday. This would skyrocket his value, so you should wait and see what he does before you offer him in trades. However, even if he does have a big game his value is somewhat limited.

If you need WR help then someone might be willing to offer a player like Saints WR Robert Meachem or Packers WR James Jones for Torain.

The best TE of the group you listed is Hernandez. He’s basically a super sized WR and the Patriots use him as such. He creates mismatches every time he’s no the field, no matter who is covering him. Hernandez is too big for safeties to cover and too fast for linebackers to cover in the open field.

I like Davis the second best on that list. Without WR Santana Moss the Redskins will look for other players to elevate their game. Davis should be their leading receiver most every week. I also have to give some praise to Pettigrew. He’s a rare two-way TE. The position has changed in recent years, allowing for one-dimensional guys like Hernandez to shine. Pettigrew is a throwback and a fantastic blocker in addition to being a very good receiver. The Broncos will be concerned with covering WR Calvin Johnson on Sunday, but it may be Pettigrew that does the most damage. He’s a special player on a high powered offense.
