I need 12 points in half PPR tonight and can start 2 of the following 4 guys:

OBJ
Brandon Marshall
Marvin Jones
Ameer Abdullah

I'm thinking OBJ and Abdullah if Beckham plays, and Marshall in his place if he doesn't. Worried about Jones getting Janoris Jenkins'ed. Thoughts?

Need a flex in my PPR league.

Desperately trying to move one of these guys for a RB. Until I do I have to agonize over who to bench every week.

^ Cohen. If CHI gets behind (which they will), that will gameplan Cohen into favor.

I like Tate for sure in your group and then it comes down to Cooks, Sanders, and Cohen for me. Tough call.

I'd say Cooks has the highest ceiling, but he's shown us the least. I think Cohen is the floor play, with Sanders coming somewhere in between the two in terms of floor/ceiling.

I guess if I want to play hoyer that's an option. Actually here's my waiver choices, I can pick up one to play and drop Beathard who I've been holding on name value lol.

Hoyer, Brissett, Keenum, Glennon, and Cutler.

Cutler gets the Saints; he's a decent stream this week.

Alright to follow up on my previous QB woes,

I scooped up Cutler(v NOS). Do I start him over Carr (@DEN) or Newton (@NEP) I think Cutler is the better play...... sadly. NEP's dst has been pretty atrocious though and is pretty close to dead last, if only Cam looked halfway decent. McCown, Brissett, Hoyer, Glennon are also all available but I can't say I like any of their matchups even if I think Cutler is a butt.

I have other worries this week as well.

My options and tiered scoring settings
1 RB, 0.75 ppr
1 WR, 0.5 ppr
1 TE, 1.0 ppr
3 Flex

Bolded are current starters:
Tarik @GB
Hunt vs WAS
TyMo vs CHI
Marty Bryant @BAL
Mike Evans vs NYG
Travis Kelce vs WAS
Buck Allen vs PIT
LaMiller vs TEN
Crabtree @DEN
Funchess @NEP
MarvinJones @MIN
Demaryius Thomas vs OAK
Tyrell Williams vs PHI
Jesse James @BAL
ASJ vs JAC

My thoughts, Hunt is a must start and I only listed him for posterity. Ty's wrist was hurt but he was a full go at practice so I'm less worried about, what I am worried about is the lack of offensive line in GB. I think they're filling spots with dudes from the local YMCA this week. Tarik worries me on a short week as well. Crabtree has DEN so that feels like a no-go (especially if I think they're dangerous enough to bench Carr). Kelce basically whiffed last week, but I doubt he does that 2 games in a row. I feel like this is my most optimal lineup at the moment, but I could take a flyer on an extra TE for that 1 point per catch, Tyrell and Dthom also don't feel like awful plays.

Yeah I'd go Cutler. And that looks right to me, except I'd go Demaryius over Martavis.

Pick two WRs, 5 ppr:

Crabtree [Q] @ DEN
Emmanuel vs OAK
Golden Tate @ MIN
Cooks vs CAR

pick a third, if you think he'd do better than Chris Thompson (I don't).

I'd start Sanders, Tate, and Cooks personally. Thompson simply cannot keep up his ridiculous points per touch pace (or anywhere close to it really). Maybe I'd start him if Kelley doesn't play.

'ppreciate ya

I've got Cooks and Sanders in there now, so it was basically Thompson vs Tate in the flex. I just can't argue with the results right now and can live with Tate popping off on my bench.

I feel like Marvin Jones will see a lot of Xavier Rhodes on Sunday and Tate should get a ton of looks out of the slot. Of course I also thought that when he played the Giants, so :shrug:

12 team Yahoo PPR league. Standard scoring for QBs.

Facing the guy in 1st and don't really want to run Carr out there against Denver. Streaming options include:

Palmer vs SF
Dalton @ CLE
Ben @ BAL
Cutler vs NO (London)
Tyrod @ ATL
Watson vs TEN
Goff @ DAL
Bortles @ NYJ

Thoughts? Ben is the most striking name there, but he's on the road and it'll likely be a typical PIT/BAL slugfest, so he does not seem like a great option. Love anyone against the Saints, but man. Jay Cutler.

Palmer maybe the safe option since Arizona has no running game to speak of?

Pick one for flex; I honestly feel pretty comfortable with any of them, but I have Hogan in currently. Still a bit leery on the whole Thursday Night game thing.

Scoring? Standard I'd go Hogan, PPR I'd go Cohen. 0.5 PPR...flip a coin?

Either way, it's not Garcon. He gets Patrick Peterson this week.

Help guys. I'm terrified of sitting Chris Thompson again. Especially against the Chiefs since I have this feeling that Cousins is going to dump it off a lot with covered wide receivers.

I also think New England's defense is better against the run than their numbers which are heavily skewed by Kareem loving Hunt.

.5 PPR

Stick with what you've got. Except I'd still start Rudolph. Chasing those Lewis points seems ill advised.

I'm leaning Allen over Hilton myself, but could be convinced otherwise. I think the other two on your list are good starts.

Sounds like Martin is going to get the bulk of the work tonight. I would not be starting Quizz. I'd go Gillislee and hope he punches in a TD.

That's a really good WR group to only be able to choose one of. All things equal I like Keenan, but I don't like the matchup. I'd consider both Baldwin and Diggs over him.

Agreed on Murray/Jaron.

1. Would it be crazy to sit Rodgers @ MIN for Ryan v. MIA this week, in 4 PTD? The MIN defense hasn't put up many fantasy points this season but they are really good, especially at home, while MIA seems mediocre. On the other hand ATL has injured receivers and a great running game...

2. Who should I flex in 0.5 PPR? The choices:
Kamara v. DET
CJ Anderson v. NYG
McKinnon v. GB
Thielen v. GB
Landry @ ATL

Yahoo projects the most points for Kamara but that seems a bit optimistic.

1. It would be crazy to roster both of those guys in a 1 QB league instead of trying to trade one of them. I would still start Rodgers.

2. I'd go Anderson. That should be a clock milking type of game for Denver.

I don't either really, but Landry has scored 10+ every week despite having Cutler throw the ball to him. Demaryius is coming off a 2 point stinker.

Definitely feel the best about Garcon. Will flip-flop on Landry/DT for the rest of the week :sigh:

My WRs are a mess, and with Dez on a bye, I am forced to pick between:

Snead vs. Det
Jaron Brown vs. TB

Also, I may as well ask. Yahoo projections are projecting Andre Ellington to have more than 3 points over Frank Gore, but Gore has been consistently good the past 4 weeks:

Gore vs. Ten
Ellington vs. TB

I am leaning towards Brown and Gore.

Yeah in Standard I'd agree with that. PPR would favour Ellington.

Allen definitely.

The Jacksonville matchup is horrendous, but I don't think there's any way people can be starting WIllie Snead at this point. He played an absurdly low number of snaps last week. I'm sure that will ramp up, but to what extent? I'd go Shepard if he plays, and Hilton if he doesn't and just pray that he manages to break one big play.

I'd play Cohen over Miller or DT. Trends are taking the over for Chi/NO and the under for both Hou/Seat and Den/KC.

Cohen had literally 1 touch last week.

He's Tyreek Hill-esque in that he's capable of breaking a massive play any time he touches the ball (see last week where his 1 touch was a 70 yard catch and run), but his touches are trending in the wrong direction.

Of course this is the week where he'll get 10+ touches again because John Fox.

Any advice on my other options Gobias?

Tough call. Miller feels like the steadiest option but has the worst matchup. Funchess has a great matchup with TB and I love the extra bonus for ASJ.

I"m starting DT this week and feel like it's equally likely that he replicates either of his last two performances.

I'd say the floor plays are Miller/ASJ and the ceiling plays are DT and Funchess. I wouldn't start Cohen. Depends on your matchup and what you think you need I guess.
