Belichicanery, be wary. I think Lewis might be a decoy/mind game. He was limited in a practice that Bill said his mom could have been in.

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

I am in the same boat and came here to ask the same about the same two guys. I've got my lineup set with Luck for now, but I've got this feeling to swap him for Tannehill.

Since I didn't see anyone address this aspect, anyone want to talk us back off this ledge? Hopefully with something other than "don't sit your studs"?

My green and yellow might be showing, but i'm leaning NE here. I think GB has a good chance of playing a ton of offense this week, GB def could be punishing Peyton all day with sacks and turnovers.

NE has had nowhere near the production Denver has had. I'm not in a Yahoo league but NE has bad week's while Denver has consistently scored high and won games for their team. GB offense hasn't been earth shattering either.
Man, I've had a really hard time with this, but really leaning Denver only because they really have done well every single week.

Start Blount in his place?

Need an RB2 and Flex out of this bunch in a standard league. Less so RB2 as I have LatMurray penciled in already;

Blount vs Mia
Lewis vs Mia
John Brown vs Cle
Marvin Jones vs Pit
Diggs vs Chi

I have Bell and Murray as my RB 1+2, and Allen and Evans as my WR1+2.

I'm thinking of plugging Ginn or Sneed in for Tate, because Tate has been pretty worthless this season. Something just tells me he's going to have a good week. Someone talk me out of it. Also, I can see James Jones having a big game or putting up a goose egg.

Man, does starting Ben on his first week back seem iffy vs. starting Eli against the #31 defense vs. QBs this season.

Eli's matchup:


vs. Ben's matchup:


But then again: Eli has been sucking lately and Ben is rested. But ODBJr. is supposedly not injured any more. But Brown has got to be huuungry by now. :|

Despite your advice I'm still leaning Eli but I'll probably succumb to reason and start Ben.

Yeah it's a pretty tough choice. The other poster is right in saying Denver has been more productive, in my league they are averaging 19.25 points a game, with the Pats averaging 10.92 so it's tough to recommend sitting them. I just think this will be the Den Def off week because GO PACKERS and NE should be serviceable against Miami who will probably crash back to Earth this week.

That's really tough to answer, haha. Belichick makes coaches crazy on the field, and drives fantasy predictors even crazier. If you take Bill at his word then expect them to run more this week than last week, who does the running I'm not sure. Bill could be playing mind games with his statements and limitations on Dion, but even if Dion suits up it becomes really difficult to say with any confidence if you should play Lewis or Blount because Dion was limited this week. In your case I would almost forgo the choice and just play Diggs this week.

Now Dion goes for 3 TDs and 200 yds from scrimmage with 5 catches.

ESPN standard scoring (no PPR). Need to pick a flex between Charcandrick West vs DET, Darren McFadden vs SEA, James Jones vs DEN, and John Brown @ CLE.

I'm leaning toward West due to the matchup and Brown being questionable. I don't really like McFadden's matchup with Seattle's run D and Jones is going to be matched up against Talib all night (Jones' worst game this season was when he was matched up against Sherman, although his only reception was a TD).

I was leaning towards Decker originally after the last GB game, but it every day sounds more and more positive for Lacy's health and with Starks limited in practice it's making Lacy sound like a safer bet.

I'd much rather have Decker's floor. Dude has been mad consistent all season, never dropping below 10 ppg. Lacy is going up against arguably the best defense in the league and is shaky on production.

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.

Call me crazy, but I like Diggs here. Chicago's rush d is better than their pass d and Minnesota could get in a hole early and pass a bunch. Could be some garbage time stats too. Indy's D is terrible all around and I like Carolina to blow them out so I think the entire second half is gonna be all ground game from the Panthers.

haha, I'm leaning the Pack pretty heavily, but Jax ended up being a great sneaky play last week so I'm wondering if I'm missing out on another great sneaky play. Will probably start the Pack.

I also have Martavis as my starting WR this week against Cin. I'm debating starting Ginn against Ind, and Sims/Hill both seem like they might be better than Riddick and Marvin, but I just don't know anymore.

Sounds like Dez is almost certainly going to play this weekend, or at least every single coach on either team has said as much from what I can tell.

So do I start him over Brandon Marshall or TY Hilton? My brain says no, but my gut says gently caress it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a ton of points to beat my opponent this week.

I prefer both to Dez. Seahawks have a crappy record but they've still been tough against the pass, and you're relying on Cassel to get him the ball. This Panthers game is exactly the sort of game that Andrew Luck has been carting his terrible team into and winning over the past few years(@Den playoffs 2014, @SF and vs. Sea 2013).

For those of you thinking about using Dez, supposedly Sherman is going to cover him. I don't like using Dez at less than 100% against him. Plus they're probably using him as a decoy.
