WR/TE flex (no dedicated TE spot). Pick 1.

Greg Olsen
Eric Decker
Stefon Diggs

Starting Julio and Alshon in the WR spots.

I have no freaking clue who to start here but I like the idea of Olsen on Monday night.

Diggs averages more targets, receptions, and yards than the other two by a good bit since he started playing. Bears secondary isn't anything to be afraid of either.

Got Dalton when Ben went down :cool: Leaning towards Dalton just to be safe but idk. Also I'm hittin the Blount hard tonight hoping he goes off after a goose egg last week.

Dalton. Probably not a make or break decision though, I expect both to have good outings.

Blount vs Miami tonight or
Hyde @StL

I can also play them both since one's in the flex spot but they're both so unreliable that I'd rather stick one of my WRs in the flex.

Blount, especially if Lewis sits. I don't want any part of the Niners.

Woodhead, Jets run D is no joke
Diggs
Barnidge, but its a crapshoot to me. Kelce is consistently good for 6-7 catches for <100 yards. Barnidge is getting more targets and seems to be getting more red zone work than Kelce, but his QB is a GTD and Arizona is good against the TE, although the best TEs they've faced are Martellus Bennett and Ben Watson so who knows.

I wouldn't be too worried about that performance. Not any more worried than I normally would be about starting a Pats RB anyway:



Jets Run D is the best in the league by a good bit. Miami seems better than their 30th ranking after their coaching change, but their resurgence has been entirely against the AFC South(Titans, Texans). I tend to think tonight is going to be a rude awakening for the Fins, but it's a Thursday night game so the Dolphins will win and the Pats leading rusher will be someone they sign off the practice squad 10 minutes before kickoff.

Is that a pie in your pocket?
Hmm I'm in a bit of a tough spot maybe you guys can help me please :)

League A)

Flex Position -

Blount vs. Miami (Right now I have Jones in, I'm hesitant to start Blount due to his goose egg last week and the emergence of the Miami run defense)

OR

Marvin Jones vs. Pit

League B)

Flex -

Blount or Lafell vs. Miami. -> Same issue, I can't get a good read on if I should be starting more of a throwing or running offense against Mia.

Thanks!

For everyone asking Blount questions, don't worry about last week. Pats have no week to week consistency, they change their game plan more than anyone else. If Lewis doesn't play a Blount is an easy start imo.

Luck vs Car or
Tannehill vs NE

Am I crazy for leaning tannehill? Luck may get sacked ten times, and Miami should have to throw the ball right?

If Lewis is out Brady could throw the ball 60 times. I don't think you can count on Blount at all except for killing the clock in blowouts.

Chances are the game plan is going to be balanced to run heavy because of the short week but who knows.

He could throw 60 times, or they could give Blount 18 carries. Point is it's pretty unpredictable with BB. Blounts floor is low, but his ceiling is super high and I think his avg points tonight is probably close to double digits and his median is prob like 8. All in all, I'm just saying I'd roll him out tonight pretty willingly. Don't start him over high RB 2s, but start him over Hyde, Blue, Andrews and don't think twice imo. It's a gamble, but it's a good gamble.

Lewis is apparently playing and a pass catching back like Vereen was.

Edit:

quote:


NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Dion Lewis (abdomen, questionable) will play Thursday night against the Dolphins.

Rapoport said Lewis sat out last week to get healthy for this game. The Dolphins front has been solid against the run since ex-DC Kevin Coyle was fired, giving up just 3.1 yards per carry the last two weeks. The tough matchup could mean the Patriots utilize more of a spread offense which plays to Lewis' strengths in space. He is a solid RB2 this week and a better play than LeGarrette Blount.

I am absolutely struggling to finalize my lineup this week. It's hard for me to differentiate between player skill and fantasy skill

Pick two, currently have bold started:
Alshon Jeffrey vs. MIN
Charmander West vs. DET
Randall Cobb @ DEN
Jonathan Stewart vs. IND


Randall Cobb and Jstew are clearly the better players but for fantasy this week I don't know! Cobb is good but against the best defense IN Denver doesn't scream start. The other thing is Jstew while he's getting yardage and usage isn't seeing goal-line snaps, those going to Tolbert and Newton.

I like the Alshon pick, but between West and Stewart, I think West has more upside, while JStew probably has the higher floor. They are both going against bad Run D's so I like he West play for the upside.

Has Indy been that easy to run on this year? Seems like for all their faults teams can't abuse them on the ground like you could the past few years. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yah they have been pretty bad. According to ESPN, they are ranked 25th in Run Defense (based on points allowed). Only 2 teams have not rushed for more than 100 yards (Jags & Jets) and they have given up 8 rushing touchdowns (3 in the last game).

RBs vs the Colts:

Week 1: K. Williams 55 yds, 1 TD, L. McCoy 41 yds
Week 2 : C. Ivory 57 yds, B. Powell 38 yds
Week 3: A. Andrews 49 yds, 1 TD
Week 4: T. Yeldon 105 yds
Week 5: A. Foster 41 yds
Week 6: L. Blount 93 yds, 1 TD
Week 7: M. Ingram 143 yds, 1 TD, K. Robinson 28 yds, 2TD


After stoning some decent competition toward the beginning of the year they've really backslid. The Houston game was Foster's first full game back from injury, and he also added 77 yds receiving. It's more than safe to start middling RBs against the Colts at this point.
