Ian Allan answers your fantasy football questions.

Question 1

Ian, in a standard yardage league, I've got to choose between two of M Evans, G Tate, and AJ Green. Leaning Evans and Green, but Index gives slight nod to Tate over Green. Hard to bench Green right now. I know Minny is turrible, but Calvin gets so many targets there now that he's healthy. And Haden shuts everyone down, but it's semifinals of my league and I can't mess this one up. Gut and trends say Green, stats say Tate. I'd love your thoughts on it. Thanks! --Randall Brater, Washington DC

That's one of those tough calls. You'll have to just close your eyes, do the eenie-meanie-minnie-moe deal and pick one. Green is an awfully talented receiver to sit down, I'll agree with that. I'd be going back-and-forth myself.

Question 2

I've heard it may be raining pretty hard for tonight's game. Is the weather going to be bad enough to affect the kicking?

DAVID SMITH (Macon, GA)

Sorry, I’m just seeing this now.

Question 3

Was wondering if you agree with my logic on my flex spot. I have Brandon Marshall and Denard Robinson, so stuck with some bad options for my flex. Would you go with Harry Douglas, Doug Martin, or James Starks this weekend? I have P. Manning, Lacy, McCoy, Lafell, R. While, Flex spot, Cameron, Gotzowski and Lions D. I am leaning towards Starks because I suspect Lacy will be limited. If Lacy is out, I will slide in Starks as an RB2, and probably go with Douglas (regardless of Jones status). If Jones is out, I may go Douglas over Starks (assuming Lacy is playing). Any thoughts would be helpful - D. Martin doesn't seem like a good option, but he was ok 2 weeks ago.

David Hanley (West Hartford, CT)

Right now, I am Douglas in the flex spot. If, come tomorrow, Julio Jones is active or Eddie Lacy is inactive or there's some news of Lacy limping around, you can start thinking about Starks. If Lacy is inactive, it's definitely Starks.

Question 4

I really appreciate your updates of the dynasty rankings, but why not put them on a one-page printable sheet like your other rankings?

JOHN BENNETT (Chino, CA)

I'm doing them piece meal. I hit wide receivers last week. I'll try to hit running backs and maybe tight ends this week.

Question 5

Ian, Thanks for your input, always on top of things. So I start L. Murray (thanks for that last week) and L. Bell at RB. Josh Gordon and AJ green at WR. Do I go with Steve Smith at the flex or James Starks if Lacy sits? Thanks!!!

JON CLAUSSEN (Boca Raton, FL)

I haven't heard anything about Lacy sitting. I think you'll be going with Smith.

Question 6

Ian, Need your help with my Flex and TE positions this week---- at Flex do I start Jeremy Hill, Rashad Jennings, Kelvin Benjamin or Latavius Murray. At TE, do I start Jordan Reed, Jordan Cameron (my opponent is starting Manziel @ QB) or Mychal Rivera. Thanks for your help, I've been a subscriber for many years and love the advice. Perry

PERRY ROSE (Clarks Green, PA)

I don't have anything new on these guys. As you saw in the weekly, certainly you're starting Hill.

At tight end, I think Reed is the best, but you could go with Cameron if you feel like you have an edge to burn with the opponent starting Manziel.
