Dwayne The Rock Johnson? Dude is a beast - get him in all lineups!

Honestly though, Jennings probably isn't playing, and you don't want to wait until Monday night to find out. If that's Dwayne Washington on Detroit he's a decent start this week. Plug him in over Jennings.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense, especially since Johnson is playing the Bears, who have a really bad rush offense.

Lmao he was messing with you. It's Dwayne Washington, not Johnson. But yeah, play him.

Le'Veon Bell's suspension is over, which means DeAngelo Williams is no longer startable. And Dez has a fracture in his knee. I'd start Parker and CMike in their places.

Thanks for the tip! I can pick up Pryor on waivers, might start him instead of Parker?

one of the first two, I'd go Beasely just because he's been steady plus will probably get more work now that Dez is dead

Just my $0.02, Parker is still being widely underrated (19 targets over 2 games and the Dolphins only real red zone threat?!) and the Bengals secondary isn't that great, so I'd start Parker. Pryor's usage is really creative and he's going to be getting all kinds of looks, so he could very well score more points this week, but this is the Browns we are talking about and the Native Americans probably won't let them get away with as much as the Dolphins did last week. Long story short, if you're behind in your match-up projections, you might want to start Pryor hoping for another home run week. If you feel comfortable with your match-up, take the higher floor with Parker.

In PPR I'd agree, but in standard I'd start Fuller for his big play/TD upside.

I guess this is a good problem to have, but my RB situation stumps me.

Pick 2 RBs and a Flex. Standard scoring.

David Johnson vs. LA (no brainer)
Matt Forte vs. Sea
Christine Michael @ NYJ
Spencer Ware @ Pit

It's looking like Charles isn't going to play this week which is then stumping me. I don't know who to leave out of the group for this week.

They've both been garbage at running the ball at times but Reddick got a lot of valuable receptions earlier in the season before he was Detroit's #1 back.

I'd roll Riddick against the Bears D.

Mikey Purp: Sep 30, 2008; I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.

2QB League, 0.5 PPR, does this lineup make sense to you guys?

QB1: Matt Ryan v CAR
QB2: Andy Dalton v MIA
RB1: Todd Gurley @ ARI
RB2: Frank Gore @ JAC
WR1: Julio Jones v CAR
WR2: DeVante Parker @ CIN
TE: Eric Ebron @ CHI
Flex: Spencer Ware @ PIT (if Charles is out again)
D: Jets v SEA

Bench:
Dwayne Washington @ CHI
Julian Edelman v BUF
Brandon Marshall v SEA
Tyrell Williams v NO
Derek Carr @ BAL

At this point in the season it's hard to tell who the studs are anymore. Dalton is a lock, and I don't really trust Ryan but I think I like his match-up better than Carr's. Gurley @ ARI and Julio v CAR are both very iffy but i guess DSYS still applies? I dunno, I just need an objective set of eyes because I can tell I'm valuing all of my players in wacky ways right now and having a hard time figuring out name brands vs actual production.

Rorobb: Aug 17, 2005

Got a few choices this week - standard scoring. Here are the starts I'm considering, with the locks in bold:

RBs:

Zeke Elliiot @ SF
CJ Anderson @ TB
Tevin Coleman vs Carolina
Dwayne Washington @ Chicago

WRs:
Larry Fitzgerald vs LA
Jamison Crowder vs Cleveland
Brandon Marshall vs Seattle

I need to start 2 WRs and a flex, I already know who my 2 RBs are.

I would usually no question start BMarsh, but with his lingering injury and against Seattle, I'm nervous, so I'm leaning towards Jamison Crowder as my WR2 instead, and then Dwayne Washington as my Flex.

Any thoughts?

I'm in a small bind for my flex (standard scoring). I need to choose between Lat Murray and Cooper. I'm currently leaning Murray because I think he has the safer floor, but Cooper could blow up (or do gently caress all). Thoughts?

ESPN standard PPR, need a player for the flex.

Tevin Coleman vs. CAR
Kyle Rudolph vs. NYG
Jimmy Graham @ NYJ

Additionally, I have Willie Snead and Sammy Watkins on the bench due to injury, but would be willing to consider one of them based on how they practice later this week
