I have all these mid-level wide receivers. I just know one of them is going to go for 28 on my bench like Stefon Diggs did last week. Thoughts? .5 PPR









I'd play Diggs over Fitz on team 1. I think team 2 is OK.

You don't think the Pittsburgh defense and the Indianapolis defense will come into play on that?

Berry is a safety. Alshon will be facing up against Marcus Peters. Berry's replacement Eric Murray is pretty good.

I'm not sure about playing Eagles receivers considering their coach was a Chiefs assistant. You may think it will give Doug Pederson an advantage but I think it actually gives Bob Sutton an advantage.

on that note which of the other two would you suggest? Or is Alshon still my best option?

So question for my WR3 spot (1 PPR):

Kelvin Benjamin vs. Buffalo
Jamison Crowder @ LAR
Cooper Kupp vs. WAS
Marquis Lee vs TN

Crowder got more targets last week, but dat Buffalo Secondary.....

Alex Smith threw 15 touchdowns all last year.

Tarik, Dez.

If I was going to start any Eagle against the Chiefs it would be Ertz. Berry shut down Gronk last week and I'm not sure anybody else can neutralize a hot tight end.

The follow-up to this (for those not in the know, in a vacuum the take didn't make sense) is that Berry is out for the year.



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 defense isn't that great. Mariota is better than last year and has better weapons at his disposal, sure.

I will never stop jacking it if 33 year-old Alex Smith somehow transformed his career inexplicably and threw 4 touchdowns a game all year and then we trade him for a first round pick next season to Jacksonville.

But I think the chances of him going back to throwing for 200 yards, 1 TD and a poo poo ton of screens is way more likely.

If Alex Smith somehow pulled that off I think everyone around him is a horrible rear end in a top hat if they don't convince him to mic drop and retire at the end of it, especially if it meant a Chiefs superbowl win.

But that's about as likely as the Jets winning the superbowl this year...

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Would you guys drop Tyler Eifert for either Jason Witten or Jesse James? Or just stick it out? The only player I could really consider dropping other than Eifert would be James White but I think that's a bad idea.

I spent for Jesse James.

He gets crazy separation for a tight end. I see good things coming.

Fitz is going to get a billion targets against one of the worst defenses in the league. Diggs has gone from playing against one of the worst defenses to playing a very competent one. I'd stick with Fitz.

Am I crazy for wanting to start Maclin over Jeffery?

Leperflesh

I would start Jefferey (7 targets last game, better team) over Maclin (4 targets, ravens probably run against the browns) but it's not a giant discrepancy. Go with your gut.

You are my underwater, underwater friends!
I would start Maclin over Jeffery. The Ravens had a grand total of 121 yards passing in that game and ran the ball 42 times. You don't get game scripts that one sided all that often. They took the air out of the ball early and never had to care. Maclin looked real good before that happened though. Easy 48-yard touchdown while being one of two guys to have multiple catches. The other was Woodhead so Maclin's target share against Cleveland is going to be real high and it's going to be easy for him to move the chains. I have no faith in Jeffery on the road against the KC secondary.

What sort of confidence do people have in Martavis Bryant this week? Still feel good about starting him?

I am super high on Maclin

1 PPR 6pt TDs

My RB are in shambles after loseing DJ and Woodhead.

Pick 2 for RB 1 and 2

Kerwynn Williams
Ameer Abdullah
Javorius Allen
Joe Mixon
Doug Martin

Kerwynn v Colts seem like the smart pick.

but Buck? or Abdullah?

I am starting Fitz over Diggs on that team. I am starting Diggs in the other league so if he blows up I won't feel bad about it. I just thing Fitz is going to be Arizona's whole offense Sunday.

In the spirit of the thread title, Riddick or Tyrell Williams for flex, 0.5 ppr? Williams has the higher ceiling while Riddick has the floor. Leaning Williams.

Ebron or Njoku for TE? I'm afraid I'll keep wanting to give Ebron a chance each week and be disappointed, but I'm not sure Njoku will be much of a safer bet.

Tarik and Quizz. Tho a coin toss for DeSean or Quizz might work as well. I think TB will be able to run it a lot on CHI and they showed last season they had no problem feeding Quizz in Martin's absence.

NP, keep in mind tho I'm one of the idiots who benched Hunt week 1 in favor of bad choices.

edit: so I'm mulling over my lineup in dynasty this week. and need some help with 1 maybe 2 flex choices.

PPR is a bit weird in this league, .5 for wr, .75 for rbs, 1pt for TEs. With that said, I'm debating playing two TEs this week, but I'm not sure who to bench if I do (leaning Dthom). I'm also interested in Tarik playing Tarik but not sure over who.

Take me to your Shida

I'm debating between Fitz and Thielen in PPR because I'm worried that the Cards are going to be in clock kill mode at like halftime, whereas I feel like the Vikings will be in either a close game or playing catch-up, so will have to keep passing. Am I overthinking it?

Fantasypros saying play Fitz 100% over Thielen. Not sure I agree completely, but it's pretty hard to pass up their matchup. Plus Bradford's knee is apparently in question.

Any confirmation on if he's out? I can't find anything

If he's out, should I swap Kyle Rudolph with Jared Cook?

I'm pretty sure Dalvin Cook will continue getting worked even with Keenum at QB, but not so sure on Rudolph getting more or less play with the backup...
