Looks like I (probably) made the right choice in sticking with Lewis. I have Mariota plugged in to start right now but ???

Jackson. Wright is gonna pull Vontae Davis is coverage.

TJ Yeldon @NE or Justin Forsett vsCIN?

This is a tough one. Yeldon is getting all the snaps and NE is a sieve up the middle. Expect JAX to exploit that as much as possible - (huge) IF - they are within striking distance of NE. If NE pulls away from them, Yeldon will still stay in the game but JAX won't be running up the middle as much.

Forsett benefits from Taliaferro possibly missing the game, but CIN defense is pretty stout against ground-based RBs but gives up a shitton of production to scatbacks, of which Forsett would be considered one:

1 @Oak 15 attempts, 55 yards, 0 TDs
2 SD 24 atttempts 126 yards 0 TDs

I think three things are helping you pick Forsett here: NE is stouter against the RB position overall, Taliaferro is banged up, and CIN is the weakest team against pass-catching RBs (and Flacco is preferable to Bortles).

Pick one:

Agree with all except your last. I think Miller and Freeman both have low-scoring games against those D's and Baldwin has the best matchup.

Last one before Sunday for me. Standard Scoring

Shady vs. Miami

OR

J.Stew vs. NO

I have Shady sitting on my flex position right now I have JStew on the bench.

RB Depth is:

Blount (NE) - possibly might have a big week vs. Jax, not willing to pass him up quite yet
D. Johnson (Ari) - hopefully will have another big week
McCoy (Buf)
Bell (Det) - Relatively unproductive - thinking of using for waiver space in the next few weeks.
Davis (KC) - Keeping just in case as a handcuff
Sproles (Phi) - Philly is against Jets this week probably going to keep on the bench

As a Bears fan pick Jimmy Graham. The Bears Coverage is god awful.

If you have any decent reciever playing the Bears, pick them. the ghost of Larry Fitzgerald put up 3 TD's, James Jones who got cut by the drat Giants put up points against the Bears.

If you have any semi-decent offensive player going against the Bears pick them pick them pick them.


Also wish I would have played Jordan Reed. :smith:

If jstew starts, he's a must play against NO, given that core. Is this no PPR? I'd go jstew, shady, d johnson



Repeating for the third time, in simpler form:

FLEX, standard scoring, no ppr:
Starks
Smith Sr
Yeldon

Worried I won't get a go/no-go on Lacy until it's too late to swap out starks, but starks has the highest upside by far. Would you start Yeldon/Smith before knowing? Starks as RB2 with a limited lacy might not be a terrible option...

I would go Yeldon over Steve Smith, just because the Bengals D has been really good. The only risk in that is if New England goes up big early, then he won't see as many touches. Tough call on the Starks situation, at least you can wait one more day to decide.

I was thinking of moving Woodhead to RB2, benching Miller and playing VJax in the flex spot? Also can't decide if Seattle is going to try to may Graham happy while dismantling Chicago's defense or if Eifert will continue to be one of Dalton's favorites.

I would definitely play Woodhead and Eifert. Woodhead in 1PPR is incredible and there are question marks at the other 2 slots. Eifert has been seeing a lot of red zone targets and decent yardage so far and I will continue to ride that train. Also, are you rostering 3 Tight Ends?

In half PPR would definitely take Woodhead over Miller (as a Miller owner myself). I would not play Graham until that offense shows he will actually be used. Like above, I am riding the Eifert train all the way.

That Denver Defense is legit, I would be worried about playing an injured Stafford against them especially when he hasn't looked that good yet this season. I think Tyrod is the less risky option which seems crazy to say.

James Jones looks like he is going to be very TD dependent which I don't like and Wright has seen inconsistent usage. None are great options. The only one I would switch to would be James Jones because I trust Rodgers more than Luke *hahahaha* McCown.

Ugh I would not want to play Freeman at all. Crowell isn't a bad play in the flex because the Raiders have a terrible Run D. I would rather play Ingram or move Crowell to the RB2 and play Moncrief. Moncrief was the only bright spot on the Colts offense and I think they bounce back against Tennesee this week.

you have both of these backwards, both these QBs are at home.

Indy's defense won't be nearly as sorry as it was on Monday since Vontae Davis is back. I think Mariota has the higher ceiling due to garbage time potential, but Tannehill has a higher floor. Depends what you're looking for based on the rest of your lineup.

Standard Yahoo, No PPR

Need help picking two of the following:

Frank Gore @ Tennessee
Carlos Hyde @ Arizona
Joseph Randle @ Atlanta
DeAngelo Williams @ St. Louis
Bishop Sankey @ Indianapolis

I'm currently going with Gore and Hyde (as long as he isn't injured).

Thoughts? Also after this week I'll likely drop DeAngelo Williams.

The Aguamoose
Jan 10, 2006
"Yes, I remember the Aguamoose..."

I'd definitely stick with Gore and Hyde. With Romo and Dez out so the defense can focus on the run and a shared backfield Randle might struggle. Who knows if Williams will be used if Bell's back. Sankey's a bit of a wild card as indy's run D was bad last year but he's not a great player.

Who do I flex? Standard scoring.

John Brown v SF (big play potential)
Allen Robinson at Patriots (main target and likely garbage time potential)

Or Ivory, if he ends up playing, but I'd probably rather stick to someone healthy.

Does anyone think Dalton, Mariota or Kaep are better starts this week. They are all FA and id be dropping Charles Johnson (ie who cares).
