Sit/Start Thread Codex:

1. My studs, your studs; don't sit them studs
2. Note your league's scoring: PPR? 4 or 6 pt TDs? ESPN vs. Yahoo? etc.
3. Keep it short. We already know you're on the fence, that's why you're posting in here! And honestly, if you're justifying every decision that heavily, you probably already know who you want to start, in your heart.

Let's start with some DEF chat, 2 pts per turnover and high incentive for low points allowed

I would probably pick CAR here. Every single game these two teams have played going back like 3 or 4 years have been brutal, low scoring affairs. CAR has matched up really well against SEA even on the road.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
With T Mobile going down on Carr's bye week I need a pickup for this week only:

Stafford vs Chi
Cutler @ Detroit
Bridgewater vs KC
Fitzmagic vs Was
Hoyer @ Jax

Leaning Stafford because he poo poo the bed against three of the best defenses in the NFL (Denver, Arizona & Seattle) and people jumped off his bandwagon. He's gotta clear waivers first though.

I'd go Palmer. That defense is not very good and he is. Julio is banged up at best and out at worst on a short week, despite the defense. They both have a huge chance of getting TDs snaked by the running game though.

I'm going Bort just because of how bad the Texans have been. Unless Alshon is back. In which case, Cutler.

Fitzgerald @Pit
Maclin @Min

Odell for sure and the rest I dunno. Common sense says Fitz and Maclin, but Hurns is playing the Texans and has picked up a ton of garbage time points recently. Plus, I'm playing Bort and it's always nice getting them double-tap points.

Standard scoring:

Hill @ Buffalo or

I think Gordon is the better choice but both of them are terrible and I wish I had something more to choose from.

Also, Snead vs ATL or Moncrief vs NE e: or Hurns, but I'm hesitant to play both Robinson and Hurns in case Bort shits the bed/is hurt. Leaning Moncrief despite last week.

PPR league, and my RB situation is awful, and I'm hoping someone here can give me a better read on who to choose. I lost Charles, and didn't get to pick up West, so now I have the following options:

Pick 2 RBs and 1 Flex from the following:

RBs
Jeremy Hill
Antonio Andrews
Isaiah Crowell
Knile Davis
Chris Thompson

WRs
Golden Tate
Steve Smith Sr.

My RB situation is a dumpster fire; I don't know if any of those guys are even startable but I've got to choose two. I think I'm supposed to start Hill and Davis, but just given how they've done this year :smith:

No f'in clue on the flex side; I think whoever I choose is going to be awful. Smith (if he plays)? or Tate just because he got a lot of targets last week?

Hurns if Bort is active (don't see why his tear would stop at Houston), Wright if he's not imo.

Need a streaming defense, standard scoring:

Titans D/ST vs. Dolphins
or
Bengels D/ST @ Bills

I picked up the Titans after waivers this week and I imagine I'll wait and see if Tyrod plays (if the Bengels D is still available then). Just want to confirm Miami should still suck.

I'd probably sit Marshall there since I see the other three as more likely to score TDs via the pass - other than that it's hard to pick one as a clear case of "worse than the other three".

Scaling back the quality a bit, I need to pick three (no PPR):

Leonard Hankerson (Q) @ NO
Willie Sneed v ATL
Jamison Crowder @ NYJ
Mike Wallace (Q) v KC
Marquess Wilson @ DET

New Orleans' secondary is weak and might spend most of their time covering Julio, so I'd say Hankerson is your best bet, followed by Wilson and Sneed, since the Lions are a shitshow. (Granted the Bears are, too, but not as much.) Wilson should see plenty of targets.

Former Charles owner here. Spent far too much on Charmander but I got him. Now since I know nothing about him, do I use him in my Flex spot (.5ppr 6TD)?

I have Baldwin in now but again I know nothing about West beyond the hype and a projection of 10+ points.

I think you have to use West. Why pick him up at all if you aren't going to use him? Sankey is garbage, and Baldwin is just alright. Until we hear otherwise West is going to get the majority of the work this weekend. I guess it's a little of a gamble but I think his ceiling is much, much higher than sankey and baldwin where your best hope is like 5-8 points.
