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?

Pick one WR2 and one Flex, ESPN Standard 0PPR:

Going with the two guys who see the most targets, but an argument could definitely be made for Cooks in there vs Dallas.

I would honestly start Cruz this week, although Allen is close. The Giants didn't look awful last week and the Redskins gave up some big plays to the Eagles.

I really like Cooks against that Dallas defense. He saw a lot of targets last week and good yardage, this week he should see a TD. I would probably replace Edelman because the Patriots offense looks terrible.

I'm leaning heavily towards Wallace because McFadden would require a waiver pickup.

Hey man the 6th playoff spot in one of my leagues last year was a guy who was 6-7! I think the lowest one could really hope for is a 7-6 record and still make the playoffs.

So I have to go 7-3 in my big money league.

Surely you mean Malcom Floyd? If you don't, then drop Wheaton for Michael Floyd right now.

I'd use Boldin since the game projects to be a shootout.

Donald Brown vs. Jacksonville
CJ Spiller @ Houston

Brown is horribly inefficient but should have huge volume and Lamar Miller put up good numbers with Moreno out. I'm leaning towards those 2. Of course I benched Spiller in Week 2 and it cost me the win...

I again need to pick two wide receivers and a flex this week out of the following:

Pierre Garcon vs. NYG
Michael Crabtree vs. PHI
Mike Wallace @OAK

Andre Johnson vs. BUF
Kendall Wright @ IND

I'm thinking of going with the first three and benching Andre Johnson, as he's under-performed pretty consistently.

I am on vacation so forgive the half-assedness, but here goes this week's suavest D/ST streamer picks, based on Vegas odds of the lowest-scoring games + caliber-of-defense + caliber-of-offense + home-vs-away. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to pick the grand slam, just the streaming option least likely to gently caress you over with a negative score. Teams playing against JAX are now showing a significant boost in value.

1) SD vs JAX
2a) MIA @ OAK
2b) BAL vs CAR
3) PIT vs. TB
4) HOU vs BUF

MIA and BAL are interchangeable.

Week 3 results, std scoring (yeesh, this was a bad one. Hope you got the Dolphins)

1) MIA vs KC: 10 pts
2) CAR vs PIT: -7
3) HOU @ NYG: -1
4) BAL @ CLE: 2
5) SF @ ARI: 2

I need an RB2:
Joique Bell @NYJ - scared to play him for the statement above, NYJ is #1 vs the run this year.

Unfortunately my team is getting slaughtered in my league, so week 4 is a must win. Any help would be appreciated. 6 man / Standard League.

Problem 1:
I'm #1 on the waiver wire. Thoughts on my Add/Drop?

-Add Philip Rivers / Drop Cam Newton
-Add Delanie Walker / Drop Dennis Pitta (IR)
-Add Niles Paul / Drop Zach Ertz
-Add D/ST Chargers / Drop D/ST Patriots

Problem 2:
Sensing my tight end weakness, someone has offered to trade Martellus Bennett for Reggie Bush. Bush seems to be boom or bust (and I've never gotten the Bell/Bush coin flip right yet). Good trade or bad?

Lineup:
QB: Nick Foles
RB1: Alfred Morris
RB2: Reggie Bush
WR1: Calvin Johnson
WR2: Randall Cobb
TE: Zach Ertz
Flex: Julian Edelman
D/ST: Patriots
K: Justin Kicker

Bench:
RB: Arian Foster
QB: Cam Newton
WR: Percy Harvin
WR: Michael Floyd
TE: Dennis Pitta (IR)
RB: Joique Bell
RB: Alfred Blue

Available on Waiver Wire:
QB: Philip Rivers
RB: Donald Brown
RB: Lamar Miller
WR: Alshon Jeffery
WR: Mike Wallace
TE: Delanie Walker
TE: Niles Paul
TE: Dwayne Allen
DST: San Diego Chargers

Do not drop Cam Newton or Ertz. Start Ertz every week and don't worry about a backup TE for now. Drop Pitta and add Alshon Jeffrey. Don't do that trade. Whatever floats your boat on the defenses, but I'd just keep NE probably.

Need some TE advice.

I have Antonio Gates. On the FA list right now is L. Green, Kelce, D. Allen. I shouldn't look to snag one of these guys and just roll with Gates right? I like Kelce, but not sure I have the bench space (could drop Jordan Matthews or Gates).

I love Gates matchup, but I am still uncertain about his production this year. I've heard rumblings of this being a chance to showcase Green against an awful defense.

One year I went 6-6, barely squeaked into the playoffs, and ended up winning the championship. :laugh: My friends were particularly salty, especially as I lorded it over them for the next year.

On topic, I think I'm picking up the MIA defense this week, but CHI (vs GB) is intriguing. Probably not worth the chance that the Packers remember how to play though.
There's also WAS (vs NYG) for tonight as a possibility...
