DON'T SIT YOUR STUDS Another year of football is upon us, and with that comes a whole new round of start/sit questions. There are lots of cool people ready to give you smart advice, as long as you follow these rules. 1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so. 2) Note your scoring settings. Is it PPR? Non-PPR? How many teams? Are there any wacky settings like counting return yards? Be brief but just specific enough for us to get the gist. 3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on. I'll get the ball started here. Pick one person out of this list as my RB2 (0 PPR, 10 teams, no flex, I have Eddie Lacy set as my other starter) Matt Forte vs. CIN Jonathan Stewart @ DEN Jeremy Langford @ HOU Derrick Henry vs. MIN DON'T SIT YOUR STUDS

Gobias Ind. posted:Langford and Jones imo Jones for sure. That chemistry should translate to at least the beginning of the season. John Brown is still iffy on health, and there are "a lot of mouths to feed" As for the RB, that's tougher. I think I'd go with Forte, as much as I hate Forte. The Jets are going to want to showcase him, Cincy's D is probably the worst of the group of 4 you presented. I don't like Henry because he's still second RB and while we expect him to emerge as a top play, that will probably take at least a few weeks, and from what I've read the initial gameplan is to lean on Murray when the team is up (which they should be against Minnesota). I don't like Stewart because A. He's Stewart and B. Denver. Langford is a close runner up, but I am nervous because, and please correct me if I'm wrong because this is purely from memory, I think Langford is better when rushing around the Tackles, which is where Houston is its strongest.

5 PATD, -2 INT, Tyrod Taylor vs. IND or Kirk Cousins vs. PITBenne posted:
Forte seems like the best option. I think game script there is probably the best of the lot. I don't expect the Panthers to have a huge amount of success on the ground at Denver and there's always the Cam vulture problem at the goalline. Chicago/Houston could be incredibly ugly. I don't think there's much chance of a good script for Langford. Finally Henry's usage is such a question mark that I don't think you can start him week one when you've got another option. Plus the Vikings D looks like it'll be tough this year. RCarr posted:I'll start it up. Jones. Colts defense is gonna be garbage and there's distinct lack of clarity about target share in Arizona.

Mikey Purp posted:Agree. Here are a few Im wrestling with: 1. Ware. Abdullah still needs to show he's gonna get more than 5-10 touches per game. Gore might literally be a better blocker on Indy than any of their front 5. Ware is going to get work, and SD's defense seems suspect also: Yikes, not fun... But still gotta 100% got with Jones because I'll take a starting RB over a RBBC from a team that might just throw it 70% of the time.

I think I know the answers on this but i want opinions. FLEX full ppr: Marvin Jones (v Colts) or Rawls (v MIA)? Full ppr w/ 1st down bonus points RB2 (no flex in this league): Duke v(Eagles), Gio (v Jets), or Arian (v Seattle). Ches Neckbeard fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Sep 6, 2016 |

In my dynasty league I'm going to have a headache figuring out who to put in my flex spots all year. .5 PPR I need to pick two from: Matt Jones vs Pittsburgh Kamar Aiken vs Buffalo Devin Funchess vs Denver Tajae Sharpe vs Minnesota Jamison Crowder vs Pittsburgh Bilil Powell vs Cincinnati Leaning heavily toward starting Jones but no clue what to do for the second spot.

I'd go Gio. He fills the same role as Sims but has a bit more upside since he could get the hot hand and take carries away from Hill in addition to his passing down work.

12 team, 0 PPR. We're in a 2 WR / 2 RB / 1 flex league. My WR options for flex are crap, so I'm trying to figure out which 3 RB from my 4 options to play for the 2 + flex. Elliott (NYG), C.J. Anderson (Car), Spencer Ware (SD), DeAngelo Williams (@Wsh). I also have Bell, but he's not an option for obvious reasons. At the moment, I'm leaning towards sitting Anderson because SD's run defense is so bad. Zauper fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Sep 6, 2016 |

I'd bench Zeke Elliott, but I wouldn't blame you benching CJ instead. My thinking here is that Dallas is going to be down early and have to just give up on running for deep balls. As I type this out though I realize you could say the same thing about Denver v Carolina if Siemens poops himself on live tv.

Tanneyhill @SEA or Prescott v NYG 6 pt /pass TD 1 pt / 25 yards I'm thinking Tanneyhill because he should get more passing volume. Although I can see Dak running one in himself against a worse defense.

12 team PPR, need an RB2 Blount @Ari Woodhead @KC Gio @NYJ CMike vs MIA Actually leaning Blount right now because with Brady out and him as the clear lead back I feel like he gets fed. Don't like the matchup though, and it's a PPR league, so maybe I'm outthinking myself. If so, is the preference Woodhead or Gio? CMike is not a real option unless Rawls is unexpectedly ruled out. -------------------- And another league. 0.5 PPR, 12 team Need an RB2 Ware vs SD Jennings @DAL Gio @NYJ Abdullah @IND And a flex Any of the above, or Larry Fitzgerald vs NE. Currently leaning Ware and Fitz, but I'm tempted to try to get Jennings into my lineup.

RCarr posted:Seconding this. If you are even considering sitting your first round pick in week 1, you've made a terrible mistake. I'm not really thinking about sitting Zeke, I'm thinking about Anderson vs Ware/Williams, just being completionist. Sounds like the general consensus is to sit Anderson, though, as I had been planning.

Stick with: New England D/ST @ Arizona Or pickup Philadelphia D/ST vs. Cleveland at the cost of dropping one of the following: Theo Riddick, Charles Sims, or Zach Miller (Dwayne Allen is primary TE).

To be fair, I was the one suggesting a benching for Zeke, he was just listing RBs on his roster. Please don't use my bad advice giving as a reason to skip my start/sit help request though.*  *I figured it just got skipped not actively ignored. e; thanks ^^^^

T.Sharpe v Minnesota -or- C.Michael v Miami Leaning C Mike, actually completely falling on him, but still wanted to see what the consensus is. 0.5 PPR league, Mariota is my QB2, so if Sharpe does something remarkable then I'll still have some exposure towards it.
