My opponent last week opened with a total of 10 points to Brees, Sproles and White and then followed up with 2 points to Decker etc...but then my team underperfomed as well and made it way too exciting. I had a 15 point lead when MNF kicked off and had my Nicks going vs his Bradshaw, and ended up winning with 83 vs 80 points which are season lows for both of us.

But...what do I do now...managed to lose Jennings as my RB2 this weekend as well, and I also just read some bad reports about McCoy and Harvin. I dumped Ivory today and tried to get Owens, Thomas, Louis Murphy, Jeffery or Riley Cooper from the waivers in that order. Ended up geting Murphy, so my squad right now is:

QB: Freeman
RB: Foster, McCoy, Turbin, Tate, Pierce, Jennings
WR: AJ Green, Dez Bryant, Nicks, Harvin, Murphy
TE: Gronkowski, Lewis
DEF: Browns, Kicker: Graham

I've highlighted the obvious starters, but have to add one RB and a flex. I'm not considering McCoy, Harvin, Jennings or Gronkowski as they are all most likely out for at least another week, and more likely for the season.

So, it comes down to pick two from : Tate@NE, Turbin vs Ari, Pierce@Was, Murphy(wr) vs ATL.

Not much to find on the waivers:
RB: R Brown, Draughn, Bolden, Goodson, Kuhn, Carter, Powell, Snelling, Royster, Grant, White, Jacobs,
WR: Ogletree, Walter, Streater, Morgan, Underwood, Hill, Hixon, Henderson, Avant, Jeffery, D Baldwin, R Cooper, Brazill

Any input is appreciated...

EDIT: Harvin was just put on IR and is done for the season. Picked up Avant.
EDIT2: Dropped Muprhy and picked up Dallas Clark. I like his matchups the next two weeks, and one of our WR spots is a WR/TE, so I could use Nicks as my flex and play Clark/Avant in the WR/TE spot.
You're team has been rocked by injuries lately. A seemingly dominant team now has obvious holes. I feel for you and have a similar team of my own. One of my dynasty teams is limping into the playoffs having lost McCoy, Gronk, Murray, McFadden, and Harvin through the course of the season. Luckily McFadden and Murray are back for me this week (though I'm not thrilled about rolling with McFadden).

Enough about my teams though. I'm glad you were able to get Clark. I like him a lot better than Murphy.

I think you have to roll with Clark and Tate. Tate is obviously a dice roll, but my gut says that Foster's workload starts getting scaled back at some point so you'll want to capitalize on the rest of the Texan's rushing production (averaging 142 yards per game.) Forsett will be in the mix too, but I have to think that a healthy Tate has the advantage there.

Even though I advised you not to worry about getting Montell Owens last week, I'd say he is at least worth a pickup if he is still out there if for no other reason than to keep him from an opponent. I like Snelling as a preemptive pickup too in case the Falcons start scaling back Turner.
