I'm going to agree. I would start Abdullah over Martin in all formats.

In a standard league would you guys rather have Cohen or Thielen? I'm leaning Cohen because the 2 games he was used a lot were the games the bears won or were competitive and they'll figure that out themselves eventually. It's not like they have much else to throw to.

But Thielen has put up loads of yards and is eternally undervalued and I can't decide whether I'm doing it myself once again...

Yeah, he's an ok flier here depending on other options. But don't start him over guys like Melvin Gordon or Abdullah.

It is Half PPR. Maybe a better question is would you rather roll with;

Abdullah + Tate OR
Abdullah + Martin (would flex one with Howard as RB1) OR
Martin + Tate

Are the Pats doing that annoying injury list bullshit with Gronk or is he actually gonna play?

Also someone dropped Derrick Henry so I just swapped him for Crowder.

RB: Bell, CJ, Tarik, Gallman, Henry
WR: M Thomas, Fuller, Shepard, Funchess

.5ppr, .2ppc

Heavy RB and jack poo poo at WR paid off with a championship last year. So far it's working wonderfully since I'm at a nice 4-0 to start.

Gronk will play. There's a chance he doesn't play a full complement of snaps, but you start him regardless.

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

Note on Abdullah: Carolina is going to be down their best Safety, and were already sneaky bad against passes out of the backfield to RBs. In PPR go for it.

Thielen's position in the offense is solidified, Cohen's been up and down. It could change, but Cohen's usage has also been erratic (42%, 62%, 43%, then 26% offensive snap counts week 1-4) and is game flow dependent.

All that said, Chicago will do everything they can to establish a running game every week to relieve pressure off Turditsky. Run first, pass never.

If it was PPR, this would be harder imo.


I'd take Thielen in a heartbeat.

According to Fantasy Football law, you're going to crush your opponent this week.

Also I think I'd be starting Lacy over Rawls.

e. Or gallman, and that way you have both lacy and rawls so you get the full timeshare?

I might have you beat. My lineup in a 14-person league this week is:

Brissett
Lynch / Crowell / Stewart
Tate / Robby Anderson
ASJ
Philly
Kicker

Bench: Gallman, Marqise Lee, Alex Collins, Emmanuel Sanders, Marvin Jones, Jamaal Charles, Elijah McGuire, David Johnson (IR).

I made some very bad draft choices.

Likewise with Lee but he hasn't practiced the last two days so I'm assuming he's going to be out. Unsure about Gallman, but that's more a question for the Sit/Start thread.

There are players like Woods, Kearse, Britt, and Terrance Williams on FA/Waivers but they're not particularly appealing either. Maybe over someone like Marvin Jones.

edit: low points of the draft other than DJ at 1.1 include:

- Crowell/Lynch at the 2-3 turn
- Brandon Marshall at end of 6
- Ginn / Dalton at the 8-9 turn

Oh yeah, has been rostered for weeks. Available WRs ranked by projected points this week are Williams, Dorsett, Kearse, Beasley, JuJu, Taywan Taylor, Woods, Golladay. RBs are similarly thin.

Thats weird im in a 14 team league with 7 spots no IR and our wire has a few of those guys.

Granted there are still a few people with 2 QBs / 2 TEs and a few with 2 DST so :shrug:

Edit: Our highest projected QBs are Brissett and Kizer :lol:

NE may/should opt to have him exclusively-covering Evans in man coverage. As an Evans owner I will be paying close attention to the Ne secondary and while I hope they keep him out there in packages he doesn't understand, I have to believe Belichik isn't going to stand for that. They are already down the backup CB Rowe due to groin injury.

I'm not going to end up sitting either of the other RBs no matter what happens.
