1 PPR. Need 1 more WR and 1 Flex:

RBs:

D. Murray v HOU
RJennings v ATL
ZStacy @ PHI
TWest @ TEN

WRs:

CJohnson v BUF
KAllen v NYJ
KBenjamin v CHI
MCrabtree v BUF

I really want to run Jennings but it looks like I have a bunch of choices. Am I missing something?

a Flex and WR on top of Murray and Megatron? I would go Jennings and Benjamin.

Frustrated: Jun 12, 2003

Need two in standard scoring:

Bishop Sankey vs CLE (supposed to get more run this game)
Michael Floyd @ DEN
Golden Tate vs BUF
Eddie Royal vs NYJ

I'm leaning towards Sankey and Floyd since there is no ppr. Should I assume the Eddie Royal TD train continues? Is this the week Tate finally scores after looking great last week?

Another Sankey question, non-PPR league:

Sankey vs. CLE
McKinnon @ GB

I was initially leaning McKinnon, but Sankey seems like he's becoming the guy for the Titans as opposed to McKinnon, who is still behind Asiata in MN. Thoughts?

1 Flex spot, standard scoring-

Robinson, NO v. TB
Cameron, CLE @ TEN
Ivory, NYJ @ SD
McKinnon, MIN @ GB

Currently have Robinson plugged in on a home start. Cameron has the best match up; Ivory would be my normal starter, but @ SD is tough; McKinnon is going against GB's soft defense but it's on the road and LOLPONDER.

Arnold Layne: Nov 4, 2008

Need a flex, standard scoring, no ppr.

Pick one of:

Keenan Allen v. Jets
Cordarrelle Patterson @ GB
Michael Floyd @ Denver
Matt Asiata @ GB
Zac Stacy @ Phil.

(Starters are Murray/Lacy and Cobb/Maclin if it matters)

Rain means a lot of running. Christian Ponder means a lot of running. Asiata's gonna get his volume and GB knows it.

Spiller you're hoping to hit a home run, since Detroit's defense is really good, and he will split carries with FJax. Asiata will just run again and again behind his oline and maybe he'll fall into the endzone, who knows.

You're picking quantity over quality w Asiata.

Rorobb: Aug 17, 2005

So, somehow I am 4-0 with this team in a 12-team .2 PPR league. I need help with who to start at RB, Flex, and TE with the following:

RBs
Giovani Bernard @ NE
Jerick McKinnon @ GB
Pierre Thomas vs. TB
Terrance West @ Ten
Roy Helu vs. Sea

TEs
Heath Miller @ Jac
Jordan Cameron @ Ten

WRs
Antonio Brown @ Jac
Dez Bryant vs. Houston
Pierre Garcon vs. Sea
Kendall Wright vs. Cle

The only thing I know for sure is Gio as RB1 and my two WRs. I'm leaning towards McKinnon at RB2 and Pierre as my flex, but really I can't make up my mind. I can use a TE in the flex as well. Really hesitant to put Garcon in against Seattle and Kendall Wright hasn't been able to get anything going either, so not sure if I want either as my flex option here.

McKinnon is a big risk that may pay off. I think your team is strong enough to take it. Thomas as your flex, safe play Miller.

e: nvm, forgot Bridgewater isn't playing, stay away from Vikings tonight. Thomas as your RB2 and Cameron as your flex.

I have no idea how McKinnon's going to be used going forward. Unfortunately I have no idea how Sankey's going to be used either, besides 'more'.

They're in very similar boats, but I honestly would take a flier on McKinnon against whatever GB calls a run defense.

gaan kak: Jul 22, 2007; RAP APOLOGIST

Flex, 0.5 PPR

Spiller
Reggie Wayne
CJ2k

???

I have Spiller in there now, but I don't like him against the Lions that much. Wayne has been hit or miss, and Johnson's (like Spiller's) best hope is to rip off a long run or reception. I don't see either of them getting enough carries to just be productive without something special happening.

Wayne. Luck has been playing at an otherwordly level right now. Moreso because of PPR.

You can drop CJ2k for like John Brown or Hawkins or a Josh Gordon/Mark Ingram/Moreno stash. gently caress Spiller against the #1 defense in the league, go with Wayne.

Plus Sankey's at home. Cleveland's run D is somehow worse than GB's (31st vs. 29th). It's not like the Titans have a stable QB situation either so...

Expect me back here lamenting watching McKinnon blowing up tonight.

e: Okay now my brain has worked itself up over this. I need to pick four of these:

McKinnon
Sankey
Hopkins
Marshall
Nelson

Right now I'm leaning Marshall, Nelson, Hopkins, Sankey.

Monumentally retarded. Forte along with like Murray, Lynch, Bell, Gio (and Bradshaw somehow) are literally the only dudes who have been consistent must play RB1s of the season. There's a huge premium on risk-aversion.

The fun thing about Donnell and Gronk is that you can try to take them out of the game if you want. Double, triple-team him, sure.

But both guys are like 6'6" 260+. They're literally Lebron James-sized dudes catching footballs. I think I take Donnell this week versus Atlanta over NE and Gronk in Cincy.

Pierre Garcon vs. Seattle
Andre Johnson @ Dallas

And at flex, I've got

Bishop Sankey vs. Cleveland
Jordan Cameron vs. Tennessee
Donald Brown vs. Jets

I'm going to hang on to the Steelers, but Ponder has statistically thrown on average 1 int and 1 td per game.

I also need some last second advice. .5 PPR with points of kick and punt returns. My WRs are:

Percy Harvin @ WSH
Markus Wheaton @ JAC
Allen Hurns @ PIT
Corderelle Paterson @ GB
Andrew Hawkins @ TEN

Which 3 do I start? Harvin is a sure starter. Don't know about the other scrubs.

Also on RB:

Montee Ball @ BAL
Toby Gerhart @ ARI
Lamar Miller @ Vacation
Stevan Ridley @ CIN
Darrin Reaves @ CHI

It's a sad day for my team. Please help.

Gonna say yes because gently caress Ponder.

Another problem. Yahoo 12 team standard. Need a flex:

R. Bush vs Buf
K. Benjamin vs Chi
I. Crowell @ Ten

I'm kinda leaning toward Benjamin here.

# ? Oct 2, 2014 23:25

Beer4TheBeerGod: Aug 23, 2004; Exciting Lemon

Half PPR, pick 2:

Khiry Robinson (TB)
Jerick McKinnon (@GB)
Jeremy Hill (@NE)
Bishop Sankey (Cle)

Toby Gerhart (Pit) is also available on the WW.

Also someone dropped Cordarrelle Patterson. Do I drop one of Andre Johnson, Josh Gordon, Brian Quick, or one of the aforementioned WRs to pick him up? Starting WRs are Dez Bryant and Kelvin Benjamin, and I have Gronk as a flex behind Jimmy Graham.

Taco Pirate: Jun 3, 2011

With the news about Ponder starting, does that make Matt Asiata a better play this week than say, Montee Ball (vs. Arizona?) Was going to start Ball, but am now second-guessing, but I'm also second-guessing my second-guessing because Thursday.

eta: standard Yahoo, no PPR.

In my no money league I am sitting Ball vs Arizona and starting McKinnon instead in hopes of a higher ceiling. Ball hasn't played that great this season, and Arizona has been solid against the run. DSYS or whatever but we will see how it goes.
