The regular season is in full swing, so the Fantasy Doctor will be making house calls regularly, answering readers' fantasy questions Wednesday, Friday and Saturday each week. Send your questions to the Doc at fantasydoctor@pfwmedia.com.

My team has been on life support all year (3-7). This week I've got some great matchups, but I'm not sure whom to hook up to the IV. I need two RBs, two WRs, and one flex out of LaDainian Tomlinson, Kevin Smith, Knowshon Moreno, Beanie Wells, Greg Jennings, Steve Smith (NYG) and Randy Moss.

Please don't pull the plug on me! Thanks.

— Brian, York, Pa.

Don't worry, Brian: The plug isn't pulled on your season yet. Win a few more games and who knows, you might find yourself in the playoffs.

As for this week, I actually like Smith and Tomlinson a decent amount. I know Smith has struggled lately, but he's facing a Browns run defense that has been consistently torched this season, giving up 166.4 yards per game and 4.7 yards per carry. I like him to bounce back strong. The same goes for L.T., who's coming off his best game of the season and is facing a Broncos team he racked up 100 scrimmage yards against earlier this season. You might as well ride the hot hand while he has it.

At WR, it's an easy call for me to go with Moss and Steve Smith. I know Moss has had his struggles with Jets CB Darrelle Revis, but he's a must-start every week, especially after his monster 9-179-2 outing last Sunday. And Smith seems to be back on track and gets to face a poor Atlanta pass "D" that's allowed 13 TD throws, so he belongs in lineups, too. As for your flex, I give the slight edge to Wells, as he's coming off a breakout game and faces a terrible run defense in St. Louis. Expect big things.

Doc,
I need your help with my QB and RB selections this week. In my league, in which you are penalized for INTs and fumbles, do I play my No. 1 QB Jay Cutler vs. the Eagles (coming off his awful performance last week) or my No. 2 in Matt Hasselbeck vs. the Vikings?
 
Also, which two RBs should I start: Pierre Thomas, LeSean McCoy or Beanie Wells (coming off his breakout performance)? Thanks again.

Some close calls here, BD, but I think I can help you out.

At QB, I would probably roll the dice this week on Hasselbeck. I know he's your No. 2 and doesn't have the same upside as Cutler, but he's also not as likely to hurt you by throwing multiple INTs, which has become the norm for Cutler. Hasselbeck is coming off back-to-back 300-yard outings, and he could have another one this week with the Seahawks likely to throw often against a Vikings "D" that has surrendered 14 TD passes. Cutler, meanwhile, could be in for a rough one vs. the Eagles, whose aggressive defense is famous for causing sacks and INTs. Hasselbeck seems like the safer option.

As for your RBs, I view Thomas as a must-start this week against the Bucs, who are getting gashed for 167.3 rushing yards per game and 4.9 yards per carry. Especially if the Saints jump out to an early lead, this is the type of game I could see P.T. dominating. It's a virtual toss-up between your other two backs, and I don't think you could go wrong either way. Simply because he's going to see the majority of the carries with Brian Westbrook out, I'll give the nod to McCoy, but as I said before, Wells should be in for a big day, as well.

Hey Doc,
In my league we are required to carry two kickers. The guys I have are Matt Stover and John Carney. What's your feeling about these two going forward? I'm worried about the looming returns of Adam Vinatieri and Garrett Hartley.

— Jim, Tinley Park, Ill.

That's something new to me, Jim, a league in which you're forced to carry two kickers. Interesting.

Anyway, to answer your question, I don't think there's much you need to worry about with Carney. He has performed pretty well for New Orleans, hitting 11-of-14 field goals and drilling a ton of extra points. The Saints have opted to stick with Carney even after Hartley returned from suspension, and I don't see any reason why they'd change their mind unless the old man really goes in the tank. As long as that doesn't happen, Carney should be a steady fantasy PK for the remainder of the season.

That might not be true with Stover, however. Indications are that Vinatieri will return from his knee surgery within the next couple weeks, and it's likely that he'd get the job back upon his return. That's not a guarantee, though, with Stover kicking well; he's a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals since joining the Colts. With this situation being the murkier of the two, I wouldn't fault you for dumping Stover if a more dependable option becomes available.
