Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
Chris Ivory, Jonathon Stewart, Brandin Cooks and Vincent Jackson. Standard league, I need to fill an RB spot and my flex. Leaning the first two, but I feel like Cooks has a huge game in him. Thoughts?

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those first three. I might prefer Ivory and Cooks, but it seems crazy to sit Stewart when Cam has no one to throw to and they're playing Jags. Who else is going to put up offense on the Panthers?

bradford has the highest chance of a shootout.

tanny is facing a really bad team all around.

stafford is seeing a pretty decent team but has the best weapons.

i'd go bradford due to the matchup, but if you feel like playing risk then i would go stafford. tanny is the safest pick.

I would probably go with Bradford, followed closely by Tannehill. This is coming from a Stafford owner as well. Of those two, I think Tanny is the safer play with Bradford having much higher upside in my opinion.

Also, I remember when I suggested that your shakytar could benefit from googly eyes. I still stand by this statement.

I feel like a little crazy for sitting Amari Cooper for Agholor and Johnson, but the Chargers utilized the slot a TON last year and Johnson will likely benefit from Gates & Ladarius Green out, and then Agholor is in a Chip Kelly offense vs. a terrible. D.

I hate the Raiders, but I am through the roof high on Amari Cooper this year, especially if the Raiders defense still sucks and they are forced to throw to compete. There's also some good garbage time possibility since they are playing the Bengals who are theoretically much better.

There's a strong possibility that all 3 of those players finish within 1-2 pts of each other anyways.

This one's tough, I think Ivory has the highest floor, and Murray the highest ceiling, with Brown getting a bump into somewhere between the two because of full PPR. My gut says Ivory, but any three could yield some good results. Are you already down/up from Thursday? If you're already up and just need guaranteed points, I'd go Ivory; if you're down big, I'd give some thought to Murray/Brown.

Ehh, I'd probably still go Evans. Watkins has Tyrod Taylor, Vontae Davis, and Rex Ryan working against him. Evans is his team's first option, Tennessee is not at all a scary defense, and yeah Jameis is a shaky rookie but I'd still rather have him feeding my fantasy WRs than Taylor. Apparently Evans "felt fine" after Friday's practice, so I'd plan on starting him even if he's questionable.

I currently have R.White in for T.Yeldon. I figure the potent run defense of Carolina will prevent Yeldon from getting the end zone. This decision is complicated by the fact that I also have A.Robinson starting. So I think I should roll with R.White instead of Yeldon. Good move?

I'm having almost the same problem. Can't decide between cooks and stewart for my flex in my standard 0PPR league.

I don't think I can go wrong with either of them but drat if it isn't a tough decision.

I think it's close, but Arizona is a decent defense too. And standard vs. 1 PPR makes such a huge huge difference, especially for someone like Cooks. Cooks could go for 1300 yards and if he only scores a handful of touchdowns (let's say 4), he'll be outperformed by a lot of real life starting RBs. JStew could put up 1000 total yards and if he gets 9 TDs, he'll outscore that hypothetical Cooks on the year. This week, I just don't see who else is getting a TD on the Panthers besides Stewart (e: Olsen I guess, and maybe Newton running one in :shobon:). If he can go at least 60 yards and a TD, he's overwhelmingly likely to outscore Cooks against Arizona, yeah?

FWIW, Fantasy Pros in standard scoring has 90% of experts preferring JStew to Cooks, in half PPR it's a toss up with 56% in favor of Cooks, and full PPR it's 98% in favor of Cooks. I think in standard, you have to go with the RB1 against a weak run defense over the target machine who is unlikely to find the endzone.

Maybe I'm just gunshy because I do not trust Stewart and I seem to recall rumblings that Cam was going to run more this season and if he will, then I'm going to consider him Carolina's goalline back until further notice. I do think that the TD chance matters more in standard, I guess I just have a personal bias toward Stewart. I could see him scoring anywhere from 5.5-20 points while Cooks is probably going to get at least 8-11.


e: I would be willing to bet that if Cooks does manage to find his way into the endzone, that he would definitely outscore Stewart.

Thanks. I had Edelman go Thursday night and my opponent hasn't had anyone play yet. I think Murray has the highest upside but I think Ivory is the safest choice and probably going to roll with him.

I guess in no PPR, I might go Cunningham if Mason is out. But really I don't expect much from him, and DJax could easily have a typical 2 catches for 80 yards and blow out Benny's production. I dunno, neither is particularly appealing, but I'd probably lean Jackson.

I don't think it's indefensible, but Hopkins should get a ton of targets while Landry has a lot more competition. Even in full PPR, I think most rankings have Hopkins firmly ahead, and further ahead in standard. I get the appeal of Landry against that weak defense, but Hopkins is his team's only option really.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Cam has wheels which could be a factor but he doesn't seem to have any targets.

My first time playing fantasy ever (standard 12 person Yahoo league) and I did a real stupid thing by drafting Newton and then getting Bridgewater who I learned today has the same bye week as Newton. I think I'm screwed as Bortles is the only available QB right now. I guess I'll wait a while and see if someone becomes available in the next few weeks?

Learning a lot but making rookie mistakes. The big other one was dropping Fred Jackson when the Bills cut him, not realizing I still owned him even though he was cut.

I disagree. Cruz is out and OBJ will draw double coverage all game. I think Randle has a big game. 70/1TD isn't out of the question. Then again Oakland D is pretty porous. I still say Randle scores more fantasy points. I also like Donnell this week.
