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.

Definitely Anderson.

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.

Gio x2. Cmike is ahead RIGHT NOW on an unofficial chart. We'll probably see a committee week 1. At least that's what I'm betting owning Rawls in a few leagues.

Gio over Fitz, I presume? I think Ware is a must start.

I was simultaneously happy to get Gio in these leagues and hate owning him, because I never feel good about starting him.

Pick 3 Full PPR with return yards

Keenan Allen @KC
Jarvis Landry @SEA
Jordy Nelson @JAX
Golden Taint @IND
Marvin Jones @IND

Agree with Allen/Landry/Jordy but keep an eye on the Jordy news this week. There's talk that he's not ready for a full slate of snaps.

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.

Yeah, go with CMike.

------

I've got one more - 0.5PPR 12 teamer. Need an RB2 and a flex out of the following:

CJ Anderson vs Carolina on a Thursday night. Ew.
Langford @ HOU
DJax vs PIT
Lockett vs MIA
Sims @ ATL

Leaning Langford and DJax.

ESPN 12-team 0ppr
Pick a flex:
Matt Forte vs. Cin
DeSean Jackson vs. Pit
Tavon Austin @ SF
Spencer Ware vs. SD
Pierre Garcon vs. Pit
Tim Hightower vs. Oak

I'm currently starting Forte, but Ware seems like a good option?

Pick a flex:
Brandon Marshall vs. Cin
DeMarco Murray vs. Min
Torrey Smith vs. LA
Tavon Austin @ SF
Spencer Ware vs. SD
Mohamed Sanu vs. TB
Pierre Garcon vs. Pit

Another case where Ware makes a good argument, but really any of these guys could be good for 10-12 points?

NFL.com 14-team 1ppr 5-point passing tds with kickoff/punt return yards:
Currently starting:
DeAngelo Williams and Doug Martin at RB
Emmanuel Sanders and Jordan Mathews at WR
Sterling Shephard at WR/RB FLEX
Sammy Watkins at WR/TE FLEX

Benched: Bilal Powell, Victor Cruz, Will Fuller.

Would you put Powell, Cruz, or Fuller in for any of the current starters?

MFL 0.5ppr standard scoring 12-team dynasty league
4pt passing yards as usual, 1pt per 25 return yards
Andy Dalton @ Jets
Blaine Gabbert vs. Rams
RGIII @ Phi

Start Dalton, right? NFL thinks Gabbert gets way more points, but that's... gotta be a long shot, even against the dog-rear end Rams, right?

Same league, currently FLEXing Maclin vs. SD. Other decent options are Gates @KC, Cobb @JAX, Boldin @IND, and Sanu vs. TB. Maclin seems like the best option in .5ppr, right?

I'd start Ware over Forte and Cobb over Maclin, but I agree with everything else.

Need to decide whether to roll with Benjamin tomorrow night in my Flex, despite his snap count/conditioning questions against the Denver D.

0.5 PPR

K. Benjamin @ DEN
K. Stills @ SEA
K. Aiken vs BUF
C. Sims @ ATL

I'd really avoid playing Benjamin tomorrow. I like Sims, Aiken, Stills, in that order.

need some QB help

I can start Dalton vs NYJ or I can pick up and start Osweiler against CHI.

Picking up Osweiler means dropping Dalton or one of my bench:

L. Fitz
V. Jackson
C. Sims
D. Washington
K. Stills
W. Fuller

Start Dalton

MrSargent posted:

Ok now for my question which I think I know the answer to for my flex position, 0.5PPR.

Kelvin Benjamin @ DEN
Marvin Jones @ IND

Leaning Jones here because I have been reading about KB's conditioning and that he may be on a snap count Week 1? And then just now I watched a video with someone saying that the conditioning thing is overblown and part of his recovery is getting back into football shape and he should be good Week 1.

Jones. A rusty Benjamin on a snap count against Denver is a hard pass for me.

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?

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.

Eli or Stafford

Spencer Ware or C-Mike

ESPN 1 PPR, not sure what to do with my RBs and the FLEX spot

as of right now I'm starting:
Ingram NO RB vs OAK
Forte NYJ RB vs CIN
Diggs MIN WR/FLEX @ TEN

Here are my other options for those spots
Foster MIA RB @ SEA
Shepard NYG WR @ DAL
Wallace BAL WR vs BUF
T West BAL RB vs BUF

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.

Swarmin Swedes posted:

.5 PPR choose one

Matt Forte vs. CIN
Demarco Murray vs MIN

I have Forte slotted in just looking to confirm that's the right move for my 2nd Flex position.

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

internet inc posted:

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.

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.

It's a super deep dynasty league so the waiver is empty. Im leaning Rishard(Im already starting Latavius otherwise I mighr go with Washington)

I'd consider Garcon over Matthews in what could turn into a shootout.

Go with Stafford. I still think Ware eats this week and is a borderline RB1/2 play. I'd start him, but couldn't fault you for going with Jones.
