Standard scoring but I think Bradford goes super saiyan?

Bradford. ATL's defense is a hot mess.

Bradford or tannehill 4pt patd

I know Miami has the matchup, but i want to get on chips wild ride

Tanny has the easiest schedule for like the first 6 games. Part me of me wants to trust his ADP over Bradford's for the first few weeks, but yeah I can see the allure. I say stick with safety for now (Tanny).

Standard scoring, 0 ppr. Dynasty league with large rosters and I need to pick two FLEX players from the following:
WR: Brian Quick, Cordarelle Patterson, Ted Ginn, Brandon Coleman, Devin Funchess, Brian Hartline, Allen Hurns, Jeff Janis.
RB: Reggie Bush, Buck Allen, Charles Sims, Dri Archer, Lance Dunbar, Bilal Powell, Barner, Dixon
TE: Charles Clay
I'm currently leaning towards Quick and Coleman but I'm not sure I want to play Quick against Seattle

Yikes. Coleman and Quick but I can see the argument for swapping Quick out for Ginn.

Matthews @ ATL

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)?

Matthews, Cooks, Stevie, Agholor

There are three J. Jones WRs in fantasy fyi and none pay DAL this weekend. Saw your followup. James Jones plays CHI.

Fitzy is a flex option, but in your group I would have him below Stevie and Agholor.

PPR, Yahoo. If McCoy can't go, this choice becomes irrelevant, but in case he does, pick a flex for me.

Alfred Morris vs. Mia.
Chris Ivory vs. Cle.

I tend to not sweat start/sits in week 1 and just go with the team I drafted, but someone apparently had dropped Ivory a few days ago, so I just grabbed him and suddenly may have a choice to make.

How big a league is it that Ivory would be straight up dropped? Anyway, I'd prefer Ivory there.

It's a 12 team league, and he dropped Ivory for DeAngelo Williams. I don't get it either. I guess he's hoping Williams will be gold in the two weeks Bell is suspended.

Sexy bad choices
Lipstick Apathy
PPR league, and I'm trying to figure out which 2 WRs and Flex I should pick. I'm trying to decide between the following:

DeAndre Hopkins (WR1 selected)
Golden Tate (WR2 selected)
Amari Cooper (Flex selected)
Isaiah Crowell
Larry Fitzgerald
Steve Smith Sr



I know West just got traded so Crowell should be in line to be the starter, but I'm not sure if he's a better pick than Cooper. Any thoughts?

Zombie Tsunami

Cooper looks like THE man in Oakland and Crowell could get pulled by Pettine shenanigans. I like how you have it.

Here's a fun one yall:

Tom Brady v PIT
or
Matt Ryan v PHI
(both at home, 6pt passing TDs)

Not buying the angry Brady narrative, the weather report suggests showers as well.

Matty Ice, on the other hand, at home in the dome. Has PHI's secondary gotten any better? I doubt it.

Finally, and here's the part where I know it should be best player not other considerations, my opponent has Julio, so with 6 pts per passing TD it's a better hedge than usual.

Any reason to go Brady here?

Bills RBs coach Anthony Lynn said Karlos Williams is the teams' No. 2 running back.

Lynn said Williams earned the role in training camp. Williams' spot on the depth chart could prove to be important this week with LeSean McCoy questionable with a hamstring injury. McCoy got in a limited practice session on Tuesday.

I like Tommy Touchdown there. "Putrid" is almost too nice of a word to describe PIT's secondary. And his two backs are more receiving backs than anything. Both games will probably be a shootout.

Go Randle, the Giants defense is a dumpster fire.

Williams will have a decent game but NE at least is able to field people not coming from the street corner.

Jax has a really good front 7, and Jonathan Stewart has not been impressive in a long time...that's a trap to play him.

I kinda like Robinson here, to be honest. With Julius down, Robinson will see a ton of targets. It may not amount for much yardage, but the PPR points will add up and I think he'll score at least once.

or

Bradford @ ATL

Hopefully Brees is far enough from stud status I don't get mocked. ATL has a tougher D and ATL is a gong show.

I think you meant that ARI had the tougher D. Which is true, but I think the Saints are going to try to expose the linebackers in coverage. For the first few weeks of the season, let ADP be your guide until there is clear separation. While Bradford certainly can play to the level of Brees, Brees is more likely to do it consistently.

You're not crazy, but I'd still start Brees over Bradford until we can know for sure Bradford's extended time off hasn't diminished his ability.
