EvilHawk: Sep 15, 2009; LIVARPOOL!

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

NFL Standard scoring, only got a question over QBs.

Brees v OAK
Luck v DET

I like both match ups, leaning Brees because that game is going to be a shootout, and I got burned by Luck last season. Anyone disagree?

Tough call but Brees at home against a weak defense? You'll regret not starting him.

Stafford! That Colts secondary...

Also, I would start Ware if I were you. The KC/SEA coaches are playing tricks on us but Ware sounds like the safest of the 2.

Which leads to my question:

C-Mike or Rawls? I was all set to start Michael but that picture of Rawls smiling when asked what his role was going to be... brutal.

Stafford. Indy's already garbage defense has both starting CBs out.

I'm still oscillating back and forth between him and Roethlisberger too. :ohdear:

Looks like Chris Ivory might be limited and I need a flex. Not sure just how limited though so

Nfl.com standard scoring no PPR.

Why do you own Brees and Luck in a 1QB league? I would look to trade one of them. That's a ton of value wasting away on your bench every week.

I'd go Foster over Diggs. He's got a tough matchup but he's the clear workhouse that will get any goalline work and will be active in the passing game too. Diggs has Shaun Hill throwing to him.

I like Forte here until we see how Tennessee splits the Murray/Henry workload.

I'd still lean CMike. There's no reason for Seattle to rush Rawls back against a subpar Dolphins team. He'll get some touches but I think CMike gets 20. I'm starting CMike today, for whatever that's worth.

Pain of Mind posted:

With Gronk out, which somewhat valuable player do I drop in a 10 team league with limited keepers (3 keepers, 1 per position, 3 year max at the round they are drafted in) to replace him? I thought I would have more time to figure out who is useful before his bye. Everyone else already played on Thursday, otherwise I would probably drop Devonte Booker. The options are:

Charles Sims (I also have Doug Martin)
Rashad Jennings
Sterling Shepard
Tajae Sharpe
Willie Snead.

In a redraft league I would probably drop Sharpe since he was the last pick out of all of them, but all 3 receivers there were relatively late picks and could have potential keeper value if they pan out. Sims is good insurance if Martin gets hurt and he might be productive anyway, I don't have any tier 1 RBs, so behind Martin, Jennings is kind of one of my 3 tier 3 RBs that I just need one or two of them to pan out. I lost all of my valuable keepers last year, so I was really hoping some of these WR would be studs that I can keep in rounds 10+

I assume there is no way I could make any trades for Gronk that fill my TE spot and give me a significant upgrade somewhere else that would be completed before tomorrow.

I guess another option would be to not drop anyone, and wait and see what happens this week, but I would rather play a full lineup.

Bumping my own post since games will start in less than 2 hours. I am leaning on dropping Sims even though he is a higher pick than some of them, just because he has lower potential keeper value and value this year unless something happens to Martin. Thoughts? The lowest pick would be Sharpe, but with all of the preseason hype I feel like I should give him a chance due to his potential as a keeper.

I play in a dumb 6 man league with a bunch of other Brits who don't really know what we're doing. My bench is pretty stacked with WRs and RBs, so I stashed a QB for bye weeks.
