When did this happen?!?
non-PPR, pick 1:

Dez Bryant vs SEA
Marvin Jones @ PIT
Tavon Austin vs SF

Tavon Austin seems to be a steady 6 points and it is a favorable matchup against an awful group of 49ers.
All the websites rank Dez Bryant in the top 20 but I think this is a very bad matchup with Matt Cassel against the Seahawks secondary with a rusty Dez.
Marvin Jones could put up 0-15 and is a bit more of a toss up.

Saving them from last place out of 32. I suspect they'll regress to the mean sooner than repeat a performance vs an OL coach and OC on their last legs. Plus the Bears actually have a run game so the Vikings won't be able to tee off like they were able to vs the Lions.

I wasn't even considering benching anyone for Cooks, why do you like him over Cobb straight up? I guess Cobb's been banged up and facing Denver.

Half-PPR, pick two:
  • Amari Cooper v. NYJ
  • Eric Decker @ OAK
  • Stefon Diggs @ CHI

I'm leaning to bench Diggs but I think they're all pretty much even here. Cooper's got a rough matchup, Decker's banged up, Diggs is less proven but in a great matchup.

Edit: and I can't play Charcandrick v. DET (in London) over Gore @ CAR or JStew v. IND, can I? He's projected higher than both of them at a few different places but I don't believe it.

Pick 2 - .5 PPR

Darren McFadden vs SEA

I'm pretty much set on McFadden, and hopefully he does well so I can trade him for someone less injury prone. I'm currently leaning towards Vereen as my 2nd Back, but I've been reading that Ellington could be getting more touches today, and against a delicious Cleveland rush D, it could be good.

My WRs are a bit stronger. I suppose I'm just trying to decide between Nate Washington and Kendall Wright.

Okay so I'm overthinking things because I am 2-5 and my opponent is making all these last minute moves (like picking up Davante Adams and playing him cuz he has Rodgers) and I desperately need a win.

I'm overthinking my kicker of all things. I currently have Phil Dawson and that offense sucks so much I doubt they can get it into his range. These are my other options:

Boswell vs. Cin
Bryant vs. TB
Lambo @ Bal
Zuerlein vs. SF
Janikowski vs. NYJ
Nugent @ Pit
Bailey vs. Sea
Santos vs. Det
Vinatieri @ Car

I'm kinda leaning Seabass, Bryant, Santos, or Vinatieri.

Need some QB advice

Big Rape vs. CIN
Carson Palmer @ CLE

4 PATD, -1 per sack, -2 INT, 300/400 yd bonus, long TD bonus

I'm really torn here- I think Palmer is probably the safer play given Roethlisberger is coming back from injury, but I definitely think the ceiling is higher for Ben, given that that could become a legit shootout/reset game for the PIT offense.

If you can put only one QB on I would be less inclined to gamble. Same goes for the strength of the other team. I feel like Palmer is good for 20-25 points here, and Ben could be anywhere from 10-30.(The Bengals aren't a good match up.) If you need the points, go Palmer and see where Ben is at before starting him. You might end up playing match ups with two very good QBs.

Raiders rank last in the league against the pass. I'm probably going to stream Fitzpatrick in my QB position. That in mind:

Pick three (bold are currently in my line-up):

J. Jones vs. TB
A. Brown vs. CIN
B. Marshall vs. OAK
E. Decker vs. OAK

I also have C. Ivory as my RB1.

This will be disastrous if the Jets have a bad day.

I mean i'd consider Rivers a stud atm. He's #4 in average points right behind Rodgers and Rivers is playing the #32 pass def and Rodgers is playing the #1.

I need a flex:

Jonathan Stewart (Car RB v. Ind)
Giovani Bernard (Cin RB @Pit)
James Jones (GB WR @Den)
Dez Bryant (Dal WR v. Sea)

I'm inclined to go with J. Stewart, since the Colts have been kinda lovely against the run. Bernard has been surprising recently but I think that the Steelers' run defense is pretty solid. (I could run him at RB2 instead of Frank Gore I suppose) Jones is great but the Broncos have a great secondary.

OR DEZ. But I am just too nervous about running Dez his first week back.

I kinda need consistency since I'm up against one of the better teams in our league. She's already got 20 points from Edelman, but I had the Pats D/ST & Gostkowski so I think that evened out.

Pick 1 (PPR League):

Right now, I have Jones in, but with Denver having a really good defense, I worry he won't get a ton of receptions. Snead has had two bad weeks, but it's not like the Saints aren't going to be throwing it. I could also pick up a Nate Washington or Eddie Royal, if need be.

He may throw 4 INT's in a bad game, but the way things are going, he'll probably still throw for 300+ yards and 3+ TD's in that same game.
