Greetings, fake footballers, and welcome to the Week 8 Ranksauce. Here are the facts:
1. Tonight’s NFL game goes up against the World Series*.
2. An anagram of World Series is “weird losers”.
3. An anagram of Ranksauce is “uses a crank”.
4. Another anagram of Ranksauce is “cause ranks”.
I’m just a simple caveman, but I’m pretty sure this means the Ranksauce uses a crank to cause ranks and if you don’t use the Ranksauce, that makes you a weird loser. Here’s you’re one-way ticket to Coolsville, U.S.A. in Week 8:
*In a related story, go Giants!

Cobb, Ballard, Britt.
Wait… Greg, does that say “go Giants!” at he bottom? As a Dodger fan, this dude cannot abide such blasphemy… Anyway, two questions:
1) PPR – I need 2 WRs from these guys: Bowe, Britt, L.Moore, or D.Moore? (Harvin is a lock as my #1).
2) I’ve got Graham and I had no plans on keeping a b/u TE (no flex). However, Heath Miller is on Waivers and we don’t know how bad Graham’s ankle really is. My RBs are McCoy, Murray, TRich, R.Jennings, LeShoure and A.Green. Good idea to drop A.Green for Miller?
1) Britt & D. Moore.
2) With Murray and T-Rich nicked up, I’d be reluctant to drop Green, but if it comes out before Sunday that Graham will miss another game, you should make the swap.
What up G, thanx for the rankings! Q: trade my Andre Johnson and F Jax for his Calvin Johnson? I still have R Rice, Murray, Bradshaw, and S Jax, and Fitz, Maclin, Vjax and Torrey. Thanx
Yeah, that’s a nice upgrade at WR.
10 team PPR:
Need 2 WR & 1 Flex from the following: Nicks, Wayne, Decker, Maclin, James Jones, Henderson, Dwyer, M. Bush.
And, uh… GO GIANTS!!!
Thanksauce.
Nicks, Wayne, & Decker.
Trying hard to figure the best ppr FLEX from Felix, Dwyer (if Mendy’s out) Mike Williams or do I take a shot w/Avery (Nice matchup but been burned B4 w/same situation) Thanx
If Mendenhall sits, it’s Dwyer. After that, I’d rank them Felix (assuming he starts), Williams/Avery (the WR are back-to-back in my rankings, so go with your gut).
Need to start 4 of 5: Gronk, Tony Gonzo, Wallace, Denarius Moore, Cobb. Have Moore on bench right now. PPR and TD heavy. Thanks in advance.
You’ve got it right with Moore on the bench.
hi greg, need advice on my flex spot. options are:
J. Gordon, B. Lloyd, A. Green, V. Ballard.
thanks
deep, non-ppr league*
Ballard, but Lloyd is tempting.
Hey sauce, considering Cam Newton’s match up at Chicago, im thinking of starting Mark Sanchez over him. What do you think?
Also, I’m in another deep 12 team league with AJ Green on bye. Who should I start at WR: Santana Moss or Kendall Wright?
Thanks.
Cam’s match-up is rough, but Sanchez isn’t reason enough to bench your stud. In your other league, I’d use Moss.
PPR League: Davone Bess vs Nate Washington and Phillip Tanner vs McCluster. Thanks!
Washington & Tanner.
would you give up LeShoure for Jonathan Stewart?
I’d rather have LeShoure this week, but if the talk of Stewart being featured is true, I’d rather have him ROS.
who makes the better flex this week: Jonathan Stewart, Dwyer, or Denarius Moore?
I’d rank them Dwyer, Moore, then Stewart.
1:54:00 pm
Hey Greg
I need 3 of 4 in a standard scoring league: Randall Cobb (Jac), Kenny Britt (Ind), Steven Jackson (NE), Vick Ballard (@Ten).
Thanks a lot.
