RULES

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so.
2) Note your scoring settings.
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.

Standard scoring 0 PPR. Need to choose a wr/rb for my flex. My choices:

Brandin Cooks
Jonathan Stewart
Brandon Marshall
And then some other waiver pick ups like Allen Robinson and Charles Johnson.

Someone advised me to play Stewart, but that was before Cooks was in the mix. For whatever reason NFL is projecting Stewart to only score 5 points week 1, I'm wondering where the gently caress they got that number? Marshall is projected for like 13 points. I know projections don't really mean poo poo but that still seems odd to me. How could Stewart only manage 5 points?

I'd say Olsen and Smith for the first. He is old and Denver is good but will be a target monster since there's no one else on Baltimore.

For the second I'd go Palmer (shootout potential) and Vikings (49ers are awful).

Kelce and either Royal or Bennett. I haven't paid attention to Chicago's off season much, but I'd have to imagine Royal as their WR1 would put up better numbers than Bennett.

Bell, but pay close attention to any updates on his recovery. He'll be Detroit's starter. I'd trust him before starting Abdullah or Brown or Stevie (not knowing how their teams will use them) or Boldin before seeing how much of a train wreck the 49ers are.

Olsen and Smith. Clear #1 targets on their teams and both have competent QBs. Palmer, should be higher scoring. Vikings are definitely the best option there.

Not sure why you'd consider Freeman if you have Spiller. Gordon or Spiller are both fine options, Freeman is a distant third.

So the Bears inexplicably decided to be Pats-Lite this year and are saying nothing about Alshon Jeffery, who hasn't practiced in a month. If he misses Week 1 my WR depth is kind of hosed.

With that in mind, pick 3 from this list. 0 PPR standard scoring.

Randle and Crowell. Seems like you are already girding your loins for the DAL shitshow but I have to believe that at least in the beginning, Randle's production should be passable.

Eli put up good points both times he played the Cowboys last season but I am second guessing myself.

More importantly I don't know who to play in my flex. Due to suspensions/stashing Foster/lottery ticket rbs (Matt Jones and Jerick Mckinnon) the feasible options are:

John Brown v New Orleans
Vincent Jackson v Titans

Any thoughts?

I'd go Bradford and Brown. Bradford will go off for 350-3-1, imo. I trust the Palmer-Brown more than Jameis-VJax connection right now, and Floyd looks doubtful while Evans looks probable.

Eli is the safer pick, I think he'll have a higher floor than Bradford for sure.

Bradford is in a new speedy, high volume Chip Kelly offense, so his ceiling is crazy high atm. But as of now we haven't seen him in a single meaningful snap of NFL football. It depends on what you're aiming for.

Id say J Stew because Carolina should be up quickly and grind out clock after words. And with their WRs god knows they won't be throwing much.

And to RCarr and Baldwin

I would go with Bradford, ATLs d is improved with the new coach, but they still dont have a ton of talent outside of 1-2 players. While Detroit still has a solid D.

With full no movement clause
That's a tough one. I think I'd go with Maclin if it's not PPR. I think that SD/DET game could just as easily be a shootout or a close, fairly low scoring game. Plus, we're at the point in the season where Johnson is more than just a decoy.






.5 PPR, pick 4:

Matthews @ ATL
Cooks @ ARI
Agholor @ ATL
S. Johnson vs. DET
V. Jackson vs. TEN
J. Jones @ DAL

Also, I'm currently working on a small trade to add Fitzgerald to this group (so that I can trade VJax for an RB that I desperately need), so if he's in the mix, where does he land(vs. NO)?
