No idea who I play in my flex going forward.

Dropping Prosise for someone. Should I go for Buck Allen, Alvin Kamara or Bilal Powell? I can realistically only get one with the way waivers are going.

Im higher on Powell then most. I think by the end of the season NYJ are riding him as far as he will take them.

There is not. Even if Zeke were to get re-suspended or hurt, it looks like he'd be in a committee with Morris.

I'm inclined to go Kamara->Powell->Allen here but if you're looking for a startable flex player, Powell is probably the best pickup. I think Kamara has the highest potential upside of the three and am biased towards him since I drafted him everywhere.

One of my leaguemates was discussing trades and suggested my Mike Evans for his DeMarco Murray and Alshon Jeffrey. My RBs are McCoy, Mixon, Powell, and Riddick, and my WRs are Evans, Hilton, Pryor, DeVante Parker, Ginn, and Kupp. Is this a no brainer? Jeffrey will most likely come around, but what's the backfield look like in Tennessee? I know Henry has a decent chance to steal carries. Thanks!

Quoting this from a couple pages ago, but I'm curious for opinions.

Also, is anyone else having the issue that Buck Allen just isn't in NFL.com leagues? I keep searching for him and he just doesn't come up.

If he's versatile like Tyreek, line him up out wide, keep Howard running the ball. But I don't see how it lowers Howard's ceiling really, he can still receive his handful of targets a game too (like he did week 1), along with the majority of the carries. Or you think Cohen's good enough/Howard's bad enough that the pass play percentage is actually going to go up?

Your point is salient (that CHI can just kick Cohen out more as a wideout), but if Howard continues to display stone hands, he will torpedo his snap count.

I own AJ Green in a league and I'd be tempted, even though I know it's probably a bad time. I do have Julio Jones and Deandre Hopkins and could use another back though.

I'm going to stake my claim on this not-really hot taek and welcome criticism from all enemies foreign and domestic.

(From the Start/Sit thread):

Suave Fedora posted:

I'm struggling with picking up (and using) JAX D/ST at home vs TEN or TB vs CHI.

What if JAX ends up being the yesteryear Chiefs D/ST that ran wild? Is TEN really that formidable from the offensive side? Demarco couldn't get poo poo going on the ground, at home vs OAK, whose rush defense isn't great. Mariota is better than last year and has better weapons at his disposal, sure.

I decided to roll with JAX as my defense for Week 2+. I've read at least twice here that JAX is not a startable option against TEN and I'm seeing more reasons against this assessment than for.

TEN does not have the history of being some offensive juggernaut like NO, ATL, GB or NE. TEN is the 12th ranked offense after Week 1 and Mariota's stat line against OAK was 256 yards, 61% completion rate, 0 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD (half of his 2016 total). His historical completion rate is low 60's. An OAK defense that is not know for stoutness limited both Demarco Murray and Derrick Henry and the exotic smashmouth to just 69 yards rushing (10.5 fantasy points in 1 ppr) and 256 passing yards. There are no game-breaking "just get the ball in their hands" wideouts on that team, which include Corey Davis (remains to be seen), Eric Decker and Rishard Matthews (whom I respect as a 50/50 jump-ball grabber but doesn't possess other elite attributes like speed).

So that's the opposing team this week. Here's the remaining JAX schedule and tell me it doesn't read like the starting credits of a blockbuster porno:

JAX vs BAL
JAX @ NYJ
JAX vs PIT
JAX vs LAR
JAX @ IND
JAX vs CIN
JAX vs SD
JAX @ CLE
JAX @ ARI
JAX vs IND
JAX vs SEA
JAX vs HOU
JAX @ SF
JAX @ TEN

Wow. Look at all the bold teams that you want to be playing against.

Out of the remaining 5 teams, only 1 (PIT) puts the fear of God into me in terms of teams that can really rack up the points against JAX, particular with Ben at home.

Doug Marrone was a defensive-minded coach and one thing he did good was draft a young roster with talent and create a situation where key players like Calais Campbell could be acquired in free agency to plug up decencies.

I am putting my flag down :patriot: on the Jacksonville Jaguars being a D/ST to own that will remove streaming from your weekly waiver considerations.

As of last waiver period, ownership in JAX jumped 15% in ESPN leagues to 96%, but do keep an eye out for them being dropped ahead of Week 3 vs BAL or Week 5 @ PIT.

Yeah, stand pat. You don't have another WR that could possibly help him out right now aside from OBJ, who is damaged goods at the moment. You may need to wait for one of your backups to blow up before you can even create an offer worth considering.

Perkins (sadly), he'll put up RB3/flex numbers and has little competition for carries. Ellington maybe is a better lotto ticket in that he's shown he's talented, but I don't trust him to get much volume or stay healthy. Burkhead won't get volume, hasn't shown he's talented, and has far more competition than the other two, so he's easily bottom there.

I'm thinking of switching to JAX D/ST from LAR D/ST and am kind of surprised JAX is still available after the week 1 performance they had. LAR has a decent schedule but not as many weak offenses as JAX will face (and JAX has the better fantasy playoff schedule for sure).

LAR vs WAS
LAR @ SF
LAR @ DAL
LAR vs SEA
LAR @ JAX
LAR vs ARI
LAR @ NYG
LAR vs HOU
LAR @ MIN
LAR vs NO
LAR @ ARI
LAR vs PHI
LAR @ SEA
LAR @ TEN

Not sure about bolding SEA since I think they'll be better than what we saw week 1 but since you did then I will as well for the sake of comparison.

In the preseason, MFG put out a good article about looking at defense by committee strategy, and specifically trying to identify two teams that mesh the best. They identified Jacksonville and Philadelphia, because between the two you get 11 home games, two games each against the Texans, 49ers and Rams (bad QB situations), and one of those sets is week 14-16, so great playoff opponents. You also get games against the Jets, Browns, Bears and Redskins. And as a bonus now that DJ is out and Palmar is looking really questionable, the Cardinals as well. I know that it goes against conventional strategy, but I drafted the Jags and Eagles across all my leagues because I fell that getting all of the above and not having to play the wire each week to find a good matchup is well worth it. Finding out the the Jags seem like a solid defense all on their own is just a nice bow on top
