Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Starting the Week 3 thread, the title is more a reflection of my personal feelings after losing Charles and Matthews this week (my top 2 RB's).

Sit/Start Rules
  • Don't Sit Your Studs

ESPN 1 PPR - pick two RBs

Adrian Peterson @Rams
Devonta Freeman vs Saints
Jamaal Charles vs Titans

I feel like Freeman might catch more passes than Peterson, and the Rams have a really good front 7. Leaning towards Freeman and Charles. Thoughts?

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
So I lost both Jamaal Charles and Ryan Matthews this week. I have Waiver priority #2 and am positive that the #1 will not pick up Knile Davis so that is the obvious choice. I was able to pick up Ahmad Bradshad last week and am thinking of putting him in at RB2 for Matthews. The other options I have on my bench are:

Chris Ivory
Fred Jackson

Bradshaw/Davis are a better choice than those two I am assuming?

NFL.com Standard - pick two RBs and a WR/RB.

Alfred Morris at PHI
Zac Stacy vs DAL
Andre Ellington vs SF
CJ Spiller vs SD
Terrance West vs BAL
Percy Harvin vs DEN

I'm kinda tempted to start Andre this week, since he seems to get better with each week, but I don't know if his matchup is so great this time around. I really really want to win this week.
Fantasypros says I should start Zac Stacy, but I'm nervous about that. One, it's the Rams, and Two, I'm not sure about the matchup with Dallas. Someone please comfort me or something.

Matt Forte looked pretty ineffective against SF this weekend. While he had limited touches because the Bears were coming from behind, 12 rushes for 21 yards and 5 catches for 15 yards is pretty bad. I don't know if I would feel confident starting Ellington but your other options aren't spectacular. The Dallas defense didn't look nearly as awful against the Titans and the Rams offense is easily worse so Stacy is risky also. I actually like Alfred Morris against Philly's Run defense.

I would choose:

Morris
Harvin

And then I think it is a tossup between Ellington and Stacy. Ellington has the worse matchup, but is working with a better offense.

I have first pick in the waiver, should I drop any of these guys for Khiry Robinson vsMIN? Guys that are NOT available include: Bradshaw, Rainey, Knile Davis, and Donald Brown. Another option would be James Jones @NE.

Should I stream defenses with the Bengals? I had the Bills first game but someone dropped Cinci so I got them for last week. I'm used to streaming.

I think I should get a new kicker. No reason hanging on to them I feel. I also think I'll drop Romo for Rivers if possible, but he'll probably be gone.

I would pick up Robinson if only for the fact that in week 4 you're going to be running with Fred Jackson and an empty slot

Edit: Same with Cinci, keep them on for this week and then figure out if they're worth holding on to through the bye or if you'd prefer streaming

Ryan has the slight edge. Foles should round back into form soon but he's still shaky and has less-sure receivers. So many dropped passes last night.

Think this got lost at the top.

I lost Charles/Matthews this week and am looking for my best options. On my bench I have:

10-team, 0.5PPR, otherwise standard

Ahmad Bradshaw
Chris Ivory
Fred Jackson

I have Waiver Priority #2 and have my pick of either Knile Davis or Bobby Rainey (Priority #1 player doesn't really follow the WW). I think my best option is to pick up Davis and start Davis/Bradshaw. Are they the best options over the rest of my bench and Rainey?

MrSargent posted:

If Rainey starts I'd honestly play him and Davis.


On the opposite side of this, I'm what you might call loaded at RB and need to pick an RB2 for this week.

L. Bell @ Car
Stacy vs Dal
Sproles vs Was
Ellington vs SF

Am I crazy for leaning towards one of Sproles/Stacy? Only because of the match ups obviously.

Thanks for the response. It's my understanding that the 49ers defense is missing a lot of key defense players due to injury?

This is absolutely true, but the missing defensive players really seems to be affecting our pass-rushing more than our run defense. Then again DeMarco Murray ran for a buttload of yards in Week 1 so what do I know. That is why it seems like a crapshoot between Lacy and Ellington.

Forte's issues had more to do with the Bears missing two starters on the OL, remember Dallas ran the ball all over SF the week before. I actually like Ellington his week.

I'm worried about Demaryius Thomas against Seattle this week. My other WRs are Keenan Allen, Kendall Wright, Torrey Smith and Jarrett Boykin. Am I making a mistake sitting DT for KA and KW?

I'm also probably dropping the other two, Boykin most likely going first.

Aldon Smith is suspended for a total of 9 games. Glenn Dorsey is on IR.

Navarro Bowman tore his left ACL in the NFC championship game last year: he began sprinting in practice this week, which is part of the recovery process, so that's going well. He's on the PUP list and should miss at least four more games.

Antoine Bethea missed the game 1, but he played this week and performed well so I'd expect him to be back at 100% either this week, or maybe next week.

Tramaine Brock was inactive against the Bears with some kind of toe problem, but he should be back this week.

Ray McDonald is in legal trouble over a possible domestic violence charge, but the DA postponed a hearing and in the meantime it seems he will play.

Otherwise, the defense is healthy. Importantly, they're playing the Cardinals, and Carson Palmer has some kind of shoulder injury. If he doesn't play, the 9ers D will face Drew Stanton.

I like the 9ers in this matchup. They're coming off a loss at home, which is embarrassing. This is a division matchup, so it's very important. They've got a couple of first team D guys back, they'll have another week of practice and drills to tighten up, and I think they're going to feel they have something to prove.

This is also true. Pass rush against Stanton might not be as important as pass rush against Jay Cutler. SF's run defense is improving and historically it's been good, and they'll be expecting to see a lot of running plays if Arizona runs their backup QB.

In this situation, I play Lacy over Ellington.

So would I be stupid to bench Peyton Manning for Nick Foles?

I need an RB2 this week. I've got Gio Bernard and a lot of nothing afterward. Ben Tate and Ryan Matthews are both injured, leaving me with either Chris Johnson vs CHI or Shane Vereen v. OAK. It's an 8-team league so there's also a decent heap of potentially decent guys on the waiver wire.

Knile Davis @ MIA
Bobby Rainey @ ATL
Mark Ingram v. MIN
Ahmad Bradshaw @ JAX
Chris Ivory v. CHI
Terrance West or Isaiah Crowell v. Baltimore
Justin Forsett or Bernard Pierce v. Cleveland

Leaning on replacing Matthews with Rainey for now. Atlanta's D seems really blah. Then again, Bradshaw could be seeing more touches since Trent Richardson seems to be almost actively trying to ruin his own career.
