Is that a pie in your pocket?
1PPR - wondering who to start in my flex position (as kind of a weekly lotto ticket!)

Kenny Stills @ NY Jets

OR

Kendall Wright @ Pittsburgh

Kendall is getting way more targets (but also has 1 more game under his belt), but the Jets seem like an easy target for a lotto ticket flex play. HOWEVER, I'm wondering if I'm the only person who is thinking that the Jets are going to get their first win of the season this week against Miami? Pittsburgh should put up a good fight against a battered Chicago team but with lots of the Chi receivers dead he seems like a good value PPR selection. Thanks!

Those stats don't mean much this early, especially since TB has played only one game. So no.

BAL specializes in shutting down the ground game, which is nearly literally the only thing JAX has.

LAR vs SF is a divisional game. poo poo gets weird.

Is it PPR? Cooper seems like the most talented on the list, and Benjamin may see a few more targets with Greg Olsen on IR. I see them as being a little ahead of those other guys.

Oh sorry, non-PPR. After Cooper and Pryor put up a combined 6 points for me least week, I'm not jumping to any conclusions.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

PPR, 6 team league, up against the clear best team with me in 2nd

QB:
Matthew Stafford vs ATL
Drew Brees @ CAR

related question, WR2:
Jordy Nelson vs CIN
Golden Tate vs ATL

related related question, FLEX:
the other WR above
Christan McCaffrey vs NO

Story: I can see Brees getting shut down by C the Panthers D, while Stafford gets into a shootout with the Falcons, whose defense apparently gets tired after 2.75 quarters. All the experts are split 50/50 ish too.

Tate would be heavily involved in that game plan. And after watching the most head-scratching injury live, I'm not too high on just setting Jordy against a good (??) Bengals secondary.

And finally, the Saints pass defense is dumpster fire, including passes out of the backfield, and if there's a week to breakout Kareem Hunt-style, it's this week for McCaffrey.

I've got a few interesting choices this week. Both my leagues are half PPR

In one league, I ended up with Winston, Evans, and D. Jackson. I'm tempted to start all three this week, especially given what Xaiver Rhodes did to AB last week.

What do you think of this starting line up/what swaps would you make? I'm not sold on starting Crowell against Indianapolis, given Indy's 2.5 Y/A rushing defense this season.




In my other league, I need to start three of:

Adam Thielen vs. TB
Alshon Jeffrey vs. NYG
Brandin Cooks vs. HOU
Devantae Parker vs. NYJ

I've got Parker on the bench right now, but I'm torn between benching him and benching Cooks.

The last choice:

LAR DST vs SF
PHI DST vs NYG

Benjamin scares me, but his match up is as favorable as you're gonna get.

I'm not at all sold on Fitz. I'd probably bench him for Crowder.

I think the WR2 and Flex depend on if Nelson plays. It's looking like he is, but who knows. If there's any doubt on Sunday, I feel like you have to go Tate. Tate vs CMC probably depends on PPR settings. I feel like both those guys likely get theirs though. NO defense is bad.

JJ Nelson or Rashard Higgins.

Id love to start them both but that would mean benching Michael Thomas.

Standard noppr

Also, am I crazy for wanting to bench Tarik Cohen for Joe Mixon this week. I feel like Mixon might be given a good opportunity this week with Hill struggling and a new OC and Cohen is facing a tough D and is not reliable.

I'd go JJ. Would like to see more out of Higgins before I trust him with my production.

I get wanting to start Mixon, but his usage just an educated guess until we see results. If this is for a what the heck flex, fine and live with the results, but I know CHI is going to at least want to get their most dynamic playmaker involved.

In my superflex, standard scoring, no PPR I need to choose between:

Tyrod Taylor @ Denver
Deshone Kizer @Indy
Lamar Miller @NE
CJA vs Buff

Like in theory that's Kizer. QB's score higher and Indy's defense is terrible, especially if Davis is out again. But geez. CJA is probably my next choice, but with an injured line against what appears to be a good Buffalo D, I dunno. The Texans are awful, and the Bills don't look much better.
