Tempted to run McKinnon over Garcon.

Garcon would be my 3rd choice there, and I'd probably lean McKinnon over Hillman based on the matchups.

Branden Oliver @DEN

Thinking Bell over Oliver despite how good Oliver's been, afraid he's gonna be hurt by SD being down by a bajillion points against the Denver Mannings, but Reggie could be sniping carries despite his balky ankle?

Yeah I think you're right, the question then becomes whether Hillman or McKinnon are the best option at RB2. Then, if Megatron plays, is Edelman a better Flex option than either of them?

I like Bradshaw more. I believe the health of Brandon Flowers and Jason Verrett is in question, so Denver may take advantage.

I absolutely need a win this week. Who would you start? My picks I'm bold. (Standard scoring)

QB:
Cutler @ NE
Tannehill @ Jax

I lost last week because of Cutler and he got me spooked. Does he count as a stud? Tannehill's matchup looks great too.

Pick 2 RBs and a Flex:
Lacy vs NO
Oliver @ DEN

Ingram vs GB
Mason @ ??
Holmes @ Cle
Adams vs NO

Although Adams had one target last week, I think he could be a sneaky play if GB vs NO turns into a shootout. If Megatron plays, I'd play him (have Maclin/Benjamin)

ESPN league, PPR, having trouble setting my lineup this week. Really tempted to put in Hillman or Vereen but wondering if I should play it safe. Forte and Tate as my RB's and Alshon and Michael Floyd as WR's with Kelvin Benjamin in the Flex. Thoughts?

Alright, I'm spoiled for choice since I finally think I have a good team - and now I don't know who to start. I need to pick 2 WR, 2 RB, and a FLEX (in standard scoring) from these options:

Jordy Nelson (@NO)
Jeremy Maclin (@ARI)
Emmanuel Sanders (SD)
Larry Fitzgerald (PHI)

Justin Forsett (@CIN)
Arian Foster (@TEN)
Ronnie Hillman (SD)
Chris Ivory (BUF)

As far as I'm concerned Nelson, Maclin and Foster are locks - that leaves me with one RB and one flex from the rest. Yahoo is predicting Forsett at 10.1 points and Ivory at 10.2 and I am really overthinking this at this point!

I'd lean Stafford/Tannehill.

AZ defense is decent, while the Falcons D is hot garbage, and Jags just lost Poz for the season, who was the glue of their D. Stafford will still be bombing it to Golden Tate and doing dump offs to Bell/Bush. Tannehill will be doing some read-option which spikes his numbers up. Foles still has a patchwork o-line for another couple of weeks.

Leaning towards Ingram over Oliver due to Denver being brutal at home. Don't trust Ivory all that much against the Bills front line.

Buffalo is a tough defense, although Mckinnon did put up over 100 on them last week and a lot of that was yards after contact, which Ivory is also good at getting. Both of the other games have the downside of being potential blowouts. I think I'd go with Oliver personally especially since Ingram is coming off an injury, but I could see all 3 being duds or all 3 having great games.

FYI, I don't think anything is wrong with Ingram's shoulder. Pierre Thomas suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday. There is a poorly written blurb on ESPN that appears to conflate the two and I think that has some people confused.

With Pierre Thomas out and Khiry Robinson limited in practice, this seems like the week that Ingram will bounce back with solid numbers. And McKinnon is starting to look really good and is facing a bad defense in Tampa. But Miller and Hilton feel like must-starts at this point. Would anybody do anything differently?

Should I flex DeSean Jackson this week? I'm debating on starting him vs. flexing Charles Clay instead (I have Jordan Reed as my TE). MIA vs Jacksonville is such a good match-up, and I don't want to rely on anyone vs Dallas. Then again, the Giants threw on them last week and if RG3 comes back, Desean's upside is monstrous. Really not sure what to do here.

EDIT: Second question, who's got the better match-up this week? Greg Jennings @TB, or Jarvis Landry @JAX?

Because since his back's gotten better, he's got 10 TDs in 4 games against two picks and over 1200 yards? He's scored over 20 points three times since Week 3 and Washington's offense is a 3-and-out factory. I don't think Romo is the question here.

This is a terrible terrible idea, right?

This is going to sound weird but Rivers owns the Broncos at Denver. I wouldn't be surprised to see Allen have a good game. I would however be surprised to see Jackson have a good game and who knows what Mason will do.

I would not consider Brown at all this week and I would sure hate to have to play Sankey. On the other hand it seems like Hill scores almost every game. I'd go Hill.

I disagree, and in fact just dropped Hill.

This is Hill's production in 1ppr:


8.3 a game is a decent average, but those two 1s are terrible as a floor. That's a bit too unreliable to use him as a starter over anyone who can return a minimum of 5 points a game.


e. On the other hand, Sankey isn't really any better. Ugh.

Bryce Brown is a pure gamble - I think Dixon will get the bulk of the carries, but there's been a debate in the regular fantasy thread and at least a couple people seem to think Brown is the dynamic better runner and will be used more.

I guess Brown and Hill are both gambles.

SF is usually considered to have a good ground game but they could not get anything going against Denver last week. Denver's run defense is improved from last year significantly.
