Here we go again. This year we're going to try a single sit/start thread instead of one per week.

Some Things:

1. Don't Sit Your Studs
2. Be sure to include relevant information such as scoring and your reasoning.
3. This only works if everyone helps, so make sure you respond to other people and pitch in with advice.
4. No matter what you only have yourself to blame.

Good luck!

I realize now, a week after my draft, that I've screwed myself by taking two NE RBs.

Hunt without hesitation. He's a locked-in starter.

Sammy Watkins or Stefon Diggs

Watkins has a Voodoo curse that makes him Mr. Glass and of course Jared Goff :barf:

Diggs has looked good but likes to drop balls for some reason.

In my head it is 50/50 I plan to go with the hot hand after week one. I need you folks to be my coin flip.


Diggs Vs NO or Watkins Vs Indy for week 1?

Watkins. I suspect Goff might surprise some people this year. Plus you might as well take advantage of Watkins while he's healthy.

The safe choice is either Bradford or Cutler. Probably Cutler. I actually grabbed Goff because I think he has potential to excel against the Colts and their lovely offense, but I could also be an idiot. I would probably sit Hilton for Thomas.

Okay, let me know if I'm being really dumb here. Half PPR, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1DST.

QB: Carr (@TEN), Luck (RIP)
RB: Gurley (IND), Riddick (Ari), Rawls (@GB), Prosise (@GB), Burkhead (KC)
WR: Julio (@CHI), Cooper (@TEN), Diggs (NO), Allen (@Den), J. Brown (@DET)
TE: Kelce (@NE)
DST: Rams (IND)

Biggest question mark is the RB2. I figure Riddick is in a better position that Rawls (committee with Lacy?), Prosise (Not fully back yet?), or Burkhead (LOL NE).

I also need a DST. Rams seem like an obvious pick with Tolzien. Bills might also be an option because LOL Jets, but I think the Rams might actually be trying this year.

I'm deciding between the same DSTs. Rams defense might be without Donald, but I'm probably gonna end up going with them anyway. And, yeah, I'd stick with Riddick until we get a better idea of Rawls' portion of the committee.

Rawls may not even play this Sunday, which makes me seriously contemplate Prosise.

Q_res posted:

Nothing stands out. Defense wise, I like the Rams against Indy without Luck. I went Bills, because of the Jets, but I think Indy without Luck is going to be a shitshow. So I'd be perfectly happy standing pat on that one.

Los Angeles faces Washington next week, and for whatever reason they might really struggle out of the gate (seems like they always do). May not be the worst pick, especially since Week 3 they face SF.

0.5 PPR, 2RB/3RW/1FLX

RB: Todd Gurley [Ari], Mark Ingram [@GB], Duke Johnson [Ten], Marlon Mack [Jax]
WR: Julio Jones [@NE], Stefon Diggs [Bal], Keenan Allen [Den], Amari Cooper [KC], Josh Doctson [@Phi]

Questions:

1. Diggs is currently questionable, and historically he's done extremely poorly when on the injury report. With the rest of my WRs on bye that means either starting Cooper tonight, or ending up with Doctson on Monday. Do you start Cooper in that situation, or do you roll the dice with Diggs as Doctson as a fallback?

2. Given Kizer is back it makes sense to start Johnson in the flex. Agreed?

Gore vs JAX
Allen @ MIN

My garbage heap of a team still needs to start 2 RB from this pile. I feel like if Murrey is playing he will play, and not be a decoy, which makes it hard to decide between him and Henry. Gore is not really getting that many touches, so his ceiling is kind of low, no idea what Allen will do week to week. I am leaning Allen and one of the TEN RB but not sure which, maybe just both TEN RB.

Given that it's standard scoring, at that Cleveland sucks, I like the idea of slotting both of the Titans RBs.

Before Fournette was ruled out I was probably gonna start both Henry and Murray and hope for a repeat of last week but now I'm not sure. Murray is a huge unknown just because they may let him rest more than usual with the hamstring issue and Henry having the hot hand.
