Projected to win by 35 so probably just need a safe floor but with news of Gates playing would you start

Stevie Johnson @BAL
Antonio Gates @BAL

Gates I think is just better, but if all you need is a floor I'd go with Johnson. They might try to limit Gates on his return to see how he's doing.

Gates or Delanie Walker? I think Walker is the safer play and is pretty good in his own right, but I feel like Gates might have a higher ceiling even if he is slightly limited.

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.

Stay the course.

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.

Sit Gore start J Stew and Gio.

Pick 1 (PPR League):

James Jones @DEN
Willie Snead vs NYG

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.

Jones. He's a good bet to score a TD at least. Snead will be happy to gain 50 yards.

I go Johnson. Gates will be covered by stud TE covering LB CJ Mosley, the one solid part of that D. Stevie will be facing 5th and 6th string guys deep down the field.

Nate Washington is a good play with Shorts being ruled out.

Amari Cooper is good and all, but Steve Smith is a legit WR1 when he's healthy and there's no one else to pass to in a shootout i think.

Can't go wrong starting Cooper though.

Need to figure out my WRs here. Start 3 (WR2, Flex). .25 ppr bonus for 40+ yd plays and 100, 150, and 200 yds: Beckham, DT, Diggs, Steve Smith

I am streaming Bridgewater this week vs Chicago. Right now I have Diggs sitting but this is really tempting.

Same league, Darkwa or Gordon? My Rbs are rear end here and Hyde is dead.

I'm starting Diggs everywhere I've got him, but in your case I don't think you could justify starting him over your other three dudes.


So with Gates playing, do I sub him in over Ben Watson? Only other options on the WW are Heath Miller, Vernon Davis, Jared Cook annnndd Crockett Gilmore

I feel like he is a better option than all those guys. Though I think Heath is a good pick up with Ben back if you're in need of a TE. He at least becomes top 12 again with him there.

I think i'd go with CJ2k against the Browns. Not sure how much of a bump Ellington might get though, but coach talk.

My feeling as well. Washington needs to actually show some life before I can start him I think, even with Shorts out.

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.

Please tell me you took my advice and started Cooks!

To be fair, i did say Nate Washington was a good play, i just wasn't expecting whoever the gently caress Niklos is to catch 2 TD's.

It's not like you need 20 from one or the other, though. They've only been a couple of weeks so far where they haven't combined for 20. Is it impossible that they'll both stink? Nope.
