It is Week 7 and despair is already setting in for some, mixed with misguided optimism for teams that haven't completely fallen apart. I decided to continue the earlier theme of "group therapy" in this week's thread title. The following teams have a bye this week: -Tamba Bay Buccaneers -Philadelphia Eagles Sit/Start Rules 1. DSYS -Don't Sit Your Studs 1-b. MSYSITPAS - Maybe Sit Your Studs If They're Playing At Seattle? 2. Refer to rule #1 When posting include any unique league scoring rules, and your player's matchups for that week quote:Yahoo standard 1 ppr need a flex: I guess I will start things off with a QB decision I need answered before TNF. Tom Brady @ NYJ Matt Ryan @ BAL I am leaning towards Brady since he is playing at home against a terrible Jets secondary, but my concern is with the injuries sustained on Sunday's game. Will those have a big affect on his fantasy viability? Matt Ryan has been iffy lately and his Oline looks like trash. In addition, the Baltimore defense isn't incredible, but they are solid.

Need a Flex 0.2 PPR, 10 Team, Yahoo TY Hilton vs Cincinnati Mike Wallace @ Chicago I'm starting DT and Cobb. The Bengals defense has looked a lot worse lately, and Hilton is getting a ton of targets, so he's the choice, right? Wallace has been really solid and consistent though and faces a mediocre Bears D.

MrSargent posted:I guess I will start things off with a QB decision I need answered before TNF. Brady for sure. I'm even playing Romo over Ryan this week. Ryan on the road is not great. I'm in a 2 DEF league. I'm not a fan of Cincy versus Indy this week, so which DEF should I pick up. I'm leaning towards the Browns due to them facing Jacksonville.

MrSargent posted:Tom Brady @ NYJ In the same boat. Starting Brady because, for the reasons you named, and Ryan has been awful on the road this season. Have a feeling that O-Line is going to get picked apart. In addition, Ridley's out, and while you never know what's going on in the Pats's backfield, they might air the ball out a bit more. At very least, Vereen will be on the field for more snaps, and he's a solid passing back. As far as Brady's injury goes, it was apparently pretty severe last week according to Rotoworld, and he still dropped hella points. We're a bit more removed from the injury and I'm hopeful he'll still be in good shape. We should get more info tomorrow. Anyways, start Brady. Gobias Ind. posted:TY Hilton vs Cincinnati Also another choice I'm dealing with. Starting TY. Hilton has been consistently putting up more points on the season, is heating up, leads the team in targets, and best of all, he's in a dome, where he traditionally does his best work. Wallace is definitely a good option but he only has 80 yards in one game this season (and that was Week 1), meaning his value is tied to his touchdowns, which have to come in the redzone because Tannehill doesn't have a deep ball. Hilton's broke 80 in his previous 4 games. Of course, every time I begin to trust TY he fucks me over, so you may want to start Wallace anyways.

Looks like I will have a week to week dilemma between Jerrick McKinnon @ Buf Chris Ivory @ NE I'm strongly leaning towards McKinnon, since the Jets are a train of poo poo run by a fat poo poo into a poo poo filled dumpster. And they are playing Thursday. winvirus posted:Brady or Cam Newton? Brady, because of the poo poo thing. Edit: Tom Gorman posted:Pick 1 WR and a Flex You got it. Wallace is pretty solid and the only option in the Miami passing game, the other two WR's have pretty low floors at this point. Poor Percy  He is a little more likely to explode if you think you will need a home run.

Buffalo allows the fewest yards per game and yards per attempt rushing, while New England is middle of them pack in both. Ivory has been the lead back all year for the Jets and put up some very good games. He didn't do anything last week, but that was against a Denver team that is top 5 in both YPG and YPA.

Am I the only one nervous about starting Brees @ Detroit without Graham? DSYS and all, but so far this year Brees has been more or less average even with Graham, Brees has always had issues on the road, and Detroit is the best D in the league.

No ppr, standard yahoo scoring - I need 3 WRs from Decker @ NE James Jones vs. Arizona Andre Holmes vs. Arizona Torrey Smith vs Atlanta Colston @ Det OBJ @ Dallas Bold is what I have it set to now, but I feel like starting two parts of Oakland's offense might not be the best idea, and Decker's status is always a little unclear. Maybe swap in Torrey for one of them? I am leaning toward believing his game last week was a fluke, but maybe not. Colston might also be a good play if Graham is out, but he is hard to trust. Also need 2 RBs: Oliver vs KC (if Mathews is still out of course, which I think is the case) Lamar Miller @ Chicago Andre Williams @ Dal Joique Bell vs. NO Mckinnon @ Buffalo I think these are good choices, although I keep flipping on Miller and Bell. With Moreno dead I think Miller is a more consistent option, but I don't know.

Couple questions this week. eSPN standard non-ppr Pick 2 RB 1 Wr and a flex Forsett vs Atlanta Bradshaw vs Cincy Steve Smith vs Atlanta Sanu @ Indy Lacy vs Carolina I currently have Forsett Bradshaw Smith and Sanu in my lineup with Sanu flexed. I could also pickup Reuben Randle if he's a better option. Question 2 Yahoo 1ppr Need 2 WR and flex Joique Bell vs NO Roddy White @ Baltimore Brandon Cooks @ Detroit Deandre Hopkins @ Pit Lamar Miller @ Chicago Julian Edelman vs Jets Currently have Cooks Edelman and Miller slotted in

Am I crazy to consider streaming Hoyer @ Jax or Cousins v Ten instead? You're not institutional crazy, I think it's a defensible play. However, it is a very speculative play that I would not make. I think you should start Drew Brees always. Detroit has a highly ranked passing defense, but the only scary passing offense they have faced is Green Bay, where they held Aaron Rodgers to 162 yards and 1 TD. 10 points is probably a better floor than either Hoyer or Cousins have.

.5 PPR, can flex RB/WR/TE Here's what I currently have slotted, any changes? Not sure I want to start Ingram until I see what he does his first week back, but it is tempting to plug in Holmes for Kelce. RB: Morris, Hill WR: Julio, Benjamin TE: Gronk FLEX: Kelce Bench RB: McCoy (Bye), Ingram, Mason WR: Holmes, Hunter, T. Smith, Gordon

Murphy Brownback posted:No ppr, standard yahoo scoring - I need 3 WRs from I'd go James Jones, Torrey Smith and OBJ, possibly considering Colston > Jones but even with Jimmy out I'm not sure Colston will see the scraps (over Cooks, PT, Khiry). Decker I don't like vs. a solid NE defense. OBJ is picking up a solid starting role in what will probably be a shoot-out (or trap). Torrey is seeing increased looks and, again, likely shoot-out. I like James Jones as a safer/higher-floor options vs. Holmes who has more upside, so that's personal choice to you. Murphy Brownback posted:Also need 2 RBs: I'd go Miller and Bell. Miller is a must-start these days with Moreno gone. KC, IIRC, has not given up a rushing TD at all this season (only other team doing that: Buffalo), so I don't like Oliver more than Bell, the current #1 back in a high-powered offense up against a surprisingly weak NO defense. Dale Meets Wall posted:Couple questions this week. Forsett, Bradshaw, Steve Smith and Sanu. I still don't trust Lacy. Dale Meets Wall posted:Question 2 Miller for your Flex, I'd personally go Edelman and Cooks, but Cooks, White and Hopkins are all pretty close here. Hopkins I'm a bit low on as Andre seems to be coming online now, and White... I'm not sure who will get the work in this game, but I'm thinking Julio will have another great game with White being mediocre. Cooks has more upside IMHO here if Jimmy is still out. Reik posted:Pick a Flex, ESPN Standard Scoring: Joique Bell, especially if Reggie is still out (even if he isn't, he might be only 80% Reggie).

Cross-post because this thread never pops up before waivers: Here are this week's suave D/ST streamer picks … heavily-weighted on Vegas odds of lowest-scoring games, lightly-weighted on the seasonal ranking of the D/ST, seasonal ranking of the opposing offense, and whether D/ST is home or 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. The first-mentioned team per line item is the D/ST to target: 1) BUF vs MIN 2) ARI @ OAK 3) SEA @ STL 4) SD vs KC *5a) CLE @ JAX 5b) PIT vs HOU * I looked at the CLE/JAX matchup and it makes sense to rank it in as a comparable option to the Steelers game. The line is the same, but CLE is being betted to have a larger win differential, meaning a lower score for JAX. Reason I rank them both at five though is because CLE is playing away while PIT is home. Also, the Browns have not been a good defensive unit all season in terms of sacks and turnovers. previous weeks posted:

I mean sure, Crowell is playing against Jacksonville and he did look great last week and Miller is on the Dolphins, but I think Miller has a higher ceiling and floor just based on how many carries he's going to get, and I think he'll catch more passes than Crowell, unless Ben Tate dies between now and Sunday.

To add to this, even though the match-up versus JAX is a good one, CHI isn't good against the run. Unless Miami has to abandon the run completely to keep up with Chicago's offense (I doubt it), I would go Miller this week and would start him every week.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Basically this was my thought: Well, OK, but he's still not going to get the starting job over Tate. I think his ceiling is something like 40 yards and a touchdown, while Miller could easily put up a 100 yard game with at least a touchdown or two, unless it's a blowout and they have to abandon the run like Amergin said, which I agree with them that is unlikely. Of course I could end up being totally wrong, but I think starting him is trying to be too cute and could blow up in your face easily.

I'm having a debate about my TE and Flex spot. TE Vernon Davis @ Den Dwayne Allen vs. Cin Flex Trent Richardson vs. Cin Sankey @ Wsh Malcom Floyd vs. KC. I also have Luck at QB, so I was worried about starting three Colts since if they have a bad offensive day it will sink my whole team. I am leaning Davis for TE, and Richardson for Flex.
