Am I crazy for thinking I should bench AJ Green vs CLE for Kelvin Benjamin vs TB this week? Joe Haden owns AJ Green....

My Lineup (Starters in Bold)

QB: Russel Wilson vs SF / Tony Romo @ Phil
RB: Alfred Morris @ NYG, Fred Jackson @ GB, Ryan Mathews vs Den, Gio Bernard @ Cle, Isaiah Crowell vs Cin, Dan Heron vs HOU
RB/WR Flex: Odell Beckham Jr vs Wash
WR: Calvin Johnson vs Minn, AJ Green @ Cle , Kelvin Benjamin vs TB
TE: Kelce vs OAK
DST: Denver @SD

Alternatively, I can move Beckham to WR2 and have my choice of RBs or Benjamin to replace Green.

edit:
I guess with Cam's demise, Green is the superior option regardless of how many times Haden has made Green his bitch...

In a non-PPR, standard Yahoo league, I need to choose between:

WR #2
Mike Wallace @ NE
Jordan Matthews VS DAL
Martavis Bryant @ ATL

Also in a toss up between Matthews and M. Bryant. Leaning Matthews at the moment, will probably play both if Julio is out.

I'm also in the thinking about JFF over Sanchez boat.

Larry Fitzgerald vs STL
Gio Bernard vs CLE
Doug Baldwin vs SF

hmm It's a close matchup with yahoo projections (lol) less than a point apart and they both play early games so I don't know what kind of points I'll need. Going to roll with Matthews for now, change my mind a few times before kickoff and ultimately make the wrong decision.

I could write out the problems I'm having, but that would probably take ages, so instead I'll just say it's a .5 PPR league with big game bonuses and say HELP.



Basically, I have the worst RB situation of all time and the waivers are completely dried up of any reasonable talent. Please help me make the most of this situation. I'm fairly happy with my WR/FLEX setup, I got something halfway decent on the K and DEF streaming front, QB is locked, but RB will give me fits forever. Leaning towards Sankey and Reece, but have no idea why.

Ryan. He has a plus matchup, and the last time Romo played the Eagles he poo poo a brick. Tannehill is not looking good this week. Be as bold and dynamic as Matt Ryan is on and off the field. Start Matty Ice.

I've got a similar situation but Sammy Watkins instead of Benjamin. I figure AJ's floor is just a little under Watkins' average. Maybe AJ will overcome his nemesis this week or maybe he will score marginally less than Watkins.

In a standard scoring, ten team league I'm trying to fill a 2nd flex. Can't decide between

Fred Jackson vs. GB or
Latavius Murray @ KC

Leaning twoards Murray because I hear Spiller is healthy now and I'm not sure how that affects FJax usage. But the Raiders are also the Raiders.

In a .5 PPR twelve team, also having a tough time picking between

Mike Wallace @ NE
Malcom Floyd vs. DEN
Chris Johnson @ TEN

for a flex spot. Losing Brandon Marshall put me in a bad way. Pierre Garcon @ NYG is also available as a free agent. I want to use Wallace but I think Revis Island is a real phenomenon, and Tannehill has been crap the last couple games. Maybe they will have to throw a lot?

Similar boat, 1PPR, pick two:

I'm joining you in crazy town. Was vacillating between him and Sanchez, but Cinci defense is reeling, the coach insulted him, JFF runs/scrambles a lot, so chance of rushing TDs, and he's got Gordon at WR who's been housing DBs but getting over/underthrown by Hoyer.

Plus, like someone said in the other thread, you will be able to poo poo-talk your opponent for years if JFF goes off.

I think the PPR format makes it lean toward Matthews. The TE position being what it is, I would ride the favorable matchup for Cook too.

Yeah, after basically Gronk/Graham/Julius, who knows on TE? I've kinda given up predicting TEs on FanDuel and using a bunch of my budget.

Sorry guys, I never got a response on this one...

quote:

Ryan Tannehill vs. NE
or
Johnny Manziel vs. CIN

This should be obvious...right? :shepicide:

To be fair, CIN's defense against QBs is overrated. Who are the only QBs to not hit 20 points on the Bengals?
-Matt Ryan
-Jake Locker
-Joe Flacco
-Ryan Mallett
-Brian Hoyer
-Josh McCown

Otherwise, there's been a few games they've been absolutely torched. Like Big Ben's game last week. 18 point average. Patriots average giving 19 points to QBs.

I mean, the idea is to leave Tannehill in there, hope I win, and see how Manziel does. If Manziel goes off, I use him in the championship game. But, I have to get there first.

gently caress that, go with Manziel. I'm not serious about this at all, but it's what I'd do. If you have JFF, I feel you're obligated to ride the gently caress out of him, drat the consequences.

I think it comes down to your opponent honestly. Manziel is obviously a gamble and Tannehill is a low floor type guy.

Manziel could benefit from the weak run D and run for a ton of yards, or he could struggle as a rookie QB against the good pass D. Browns coaches might call a bunch of runs to take pressure off Manziel, or a bunch of passes to take advantage of Manziel's mobility and arm, as well as Gordon. It's anyone's guess really.

If you feel overmatched, I'd go Manziel. If it's super close I would go with the steady Tannehill.

I would play Big Ben, WR is a toss up.

Two different leagues with a Fred Jackson question (standard scoring):

Fred Jackson vs GB
Tre Mason vs ARI

Fred Jackson vs GB
Jeremy Hill @ CLE


My thoughts on each one:
Fred Jackson sometimes gets 20 touches, other times he gets 10. They might be behind early vs GB, though GB does not have the best run defense and Jackson still gets a lot of receptions.
Tre Mason has been getting a lot of work (17 or more touches in the last 6 games), but only has more than 10 points twice. ARI is kind of good.
Jeremy Hill has been ok, but hard to tell how carries will be split between him and Bernard.

Alternative; Comedy Chris Johnson option @ bad TEN.

STL D/ST vs ARI tonight or Baltimore D/ST vs JAX Sunday? Leaning Rams right now. lovely o-line, backup QB, backup RB, Thursday night. Seems likea perfect storm for a surging defense.

Also QB questions..

5 point per passing TD, different leagues

Romo @ Philly
Stafford vs MIN

and

Cutler vs NO
Wilson vs SF

Right now I've got Romo and Cutler in there but am not confident at all. In the league with Wilson I also own Lynch, so I've been double dipping there pretty consistently all season long.
