Good morning!
1 point PPR league, need to decide on my last WR slot between:
Michael Crabtree (@Stl)
Kelvin Benjamin (@Cin)
Mohamed Sanu (Car)

As much as Benjamin has been high rated, I don't really trust the Panthers to move the ball well against Cincinnati. Crabtree hasn't been great lately either, so I'm thinking of going with Sanu--am I outsmarting myself here?

Bold is what I'm currently thinking. Don't really like benching Wallace but Hilton is getting a ton of targets. I have no idea what to expect from Lamar Miller now that Moreno is back. No idea what to expect from Spiller ever though...

So far this year its been Bush but with Bell coming back and injuries I doubt many touches are happening this weekend. McFadden interests me simply because I think the Raiders will over-perform (still lose) in a divisional game coming off a bye.

I think your wr pick depends on what sort of opponent you're facing. Hilton has the matchup and has been really consistent, but Cobb has way bigger upside. Cobb has caught a ton of red zone hits for TDs, despite not having the biggest yardage week to week. Overall, I think Cobb is the better fantasy play, but I worry about a letdown game on the road for GB.

I'm likely starting both. Hilton would be swapped out for Wallace, if anything.

Any thoughts on Miller vs. Spiller? Not gonna even bother with Asiata vs. Detroit.

Jackson, and Smith (who is playing TB not CLE, a much more appealing matchup). Full PPR should mean he has at least an okay day. For TE, Cameron is the safer option, Bennett if you need a home run.

I think you actually go Boldin, since Crabtree and Davis are both out.

Last week, starting Jeremy Hill over Morris won me my matchup. Given the opportunity he has with AJ probably out, I want to start him again. Who would you start him over? (.5 PPR)

Morris v. ARI - another bad matchup for Morris. I like this better than against Seattle, but not by much.

Hunter v. JAX - risky play with a high-ceiling. QB situation sucks, but Hunter came alive last week and plays one of the worst secondaries in the league.

Thoughts?

Depends on if you think you need the boom/bust to win this week but other than against Seattle Morris has been fairly consistent. I think I would start him over Hill but start Hill over Hunter if only because I see Hill being more reliable than Hunter (especially with AJ out)

ESPN standard 6 man league

This week is a must win. Anyone have any advice/critiques on my lineup? I'm obviously betting heavily that the Chargers skunk the Raiders.

QB: Phillip Rivers
RB: Arian Foster
RB: Branden Oliver
WR: Percy Harvin
WR: Brian Quick
TE: Delanie Walker
FLEX: Chris Ivory
D/ST: Chargers
K: Nick Novak

Bench:
QB: Jay Cutler
RB: Alfred Morris
RB: Matt Asiata
WR: Randall Cobb
WR: Keenan Allen
WR: Calvin Johnson
TE: Larry Donnell

It helps to post the opposing team and whether home/away. I don't know why you would bench fantasy's #8 receiver (give/take) in Cobb for Harvin. Even if Harvin had caught two of those TDs (he wouldn't have gotten all three of them, two of them were on the same drive, people realize that right), his offense is run-based, not like Cobb's.

I'm leaning towards Sanu as Wright's QB situation is shaky but if Green is out then Sanu will get a lot of attention, especially if Marvin Jones is also out.



Also which 2 RBs out of: Knowshon Moreno (Green Bay), Joique Bell (Minnesota), Jeremy Hill (Carolina), and Ronnie Hillman (Jets).

Sanu is WR2-money.

Yikes on your RBs.

The Hunter situation is a bit too murky for my taste. He's still a WR3. Go JHill with confidence. He has been a fine flex play all season.

I think Asiata will be a reasonable RB2 this week, at least a flex play. When Bridgewater was active, he moved the offense into the redzone enough times to make Asiata volume-productive.

Upsides and downsides to all of them in my mind. Wright's against the Jags, but who's throwing to him. 49ers have no Davis or Crabtree this week, but Boldin hasn't had a TD grab all year. TY is likely the safest play, but I feel like the other two are more likely to get a touchdown. Leaning Wright and Hilton at the moment.

Who do I gamble on here?

Yeah? Gonna flex a WR since I've got DT/Cobb/Hilton, but you'd play Asiata vs Det over Lamar Miller vs GB?

I feel better about Moreno getting eased back and Miller having a solid day than I do about Asiata against Detroit.

For yours I think I'd go JHill.

I'm leaning toward sitting Bradshaw but I'm not really sure why. He's been somewhat TD-reliant but has found the endzone most games this year. Hilton hasn't scored yet but I think he's due for a big game. I'm just not sure it's this week with a Thursday game. I think Welker will be involved in a big offensive day for the Broncos. I have no idea what to expect from Cruz but he's playing the poor Eagles D this week.

Any input would be appreciated.

I didn't say that much (Asiata over Miller), I'm just saying that generally Asiata's perception this week is diminished by last week's games where Ponder was in for Bridgewater, and as a result MIN could not move the ball enough to make Asiata productive. Yes, DET is fielding a great defense, but Bridgewater is a wildcard for them and DET is playing away.

Miller is a fine RB2/flex in your situation.
