I don't see this thread so I'm posting this thread.


RULES

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so. Unless it's Jimmy Graham, gently caress that guy Darell Bevell
2) Note your scoring settings.
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.


I'll go first:

I say Brees, dependent on the outlook Sunday morning. I think that BUF/TEN game could be a close, defensive one, especially with the Titans coming off bye week.

Thanks. I can see Bills/Titans being a defensive slobberknocker without much scoring and was leaning the same.

Peyton. He will be throwing TE-type routes all day long. Russell had trouble against DET so I would avoid Palmer.

What's the word with Karlos Williams? I know he's still going through concussion protocol and Rex even said Boobie is starting but how likely is it that he sees the field at all?

(I guess for the purpose of the thread its Williams or Joseph Randle?)

Randle for sure. They're already talking up Boobie - I doubt Williams plays.

I'm going with Patriots because even though they're going to Dallas a) they're coming off a bye b) Romo and Dez are hurt c) their WR and RB corps is banged up.

But only barely.

Pick 2:

Jeremy Hill vs. SEA
Frank Gore vs. HOU
LeGarrett Blount420 vs. DAL

I'm thinking Blount closes the massacre on the Cowboys with 3 TD's, 100+ yards in the second half. But, Gore has an awesome matchup....Hill's matchup is terrible, but he did have a 3 TD day last week which makes him hard to sit.

It feels like Baldwin is my high floor guy but Mumphery is tempting since the Colts are Vontae Davis and then some cones in the secondary. I'm already playing Hopkins so I'm uncertain about investing too heavily in the Texans offense

I am a bit queasy about starting two Tampa players at once. I also feel like every week I'm waiting on John Brown to have a monstrous breakout game- it seems like every week they're leaving a long pass or TD on the field.

That's going to be a tough game if Denver is playing 12 men on defense

I've got two quandaries this week.

I am on NFL.com Standard no PPR.

QB's are
Luck @ Houston

Taylor @ Tennessee

So, if Luck ends up playing today I should definitely go with him...right?

Also, it seems like all my WR's are dealing with some sort of injury at this time. So which two should I go with for max potential.

T.Y. Hilton @ Houston

James Jones vs. St. Louis

Brandin Cooks @ Philadelphia

Leonard Hankerson vs. Washington

Stevie Johnson vs. Pittsburg

I'd go Sproles. Don't know what to expect from Bryant in his first week back, it's Vick, and the Chargers have fared well against WRs.

Can't decide between Blount and Lewis this week. I forsee this being an ongoing headache...

Lewis will get the majority of the carries to start, but Blount will clean up once the game get's out of hand
