Gio Bernard
Sanu
Jerrick McKinnon

Thinking about going with Bernard and McKinnon vs. TB, but Bernard's injury worries me

If you're worried about Gio so much that you think you might not start him then start Sanu. He should have a decent day if Green doesn't play.

Mike Wallace, Mia WR @ NYJ
1PPR

You got the opponents mixed up there (MIA@JAX, BUF@NYJ). Wallace has been really consistent so far and they are playing the Jaguars so unless you think you'll need (non-guaranteed) massive points from Watkins to win I would start Wallace.



I need to fill my RB2 spot and I have these to choose from:

Cadet (NO vs GB)
Stewart (CAR vs SEA)

It's pretty dire but I'm stacked at all my other positions and have Mathews/Sims ready to go for the future. Alfred Blue is on waivers, the Texans are playing Tennessee this week - thoughts on gambling that the game goes into garbage time halfway through and Blue gets put on to rest Foster? Seems like it could be a possibility. Not much else on waivers other than Storm Johnson and Benny Cunningham (and Juwan Thompson lol).

I'm in a similar situation, Cadet will catch a lot of passes so I favor him so long as your league has PPR.

In a .5 PPR what is better:

Ivory vs. Buffalo
Cadet vs. GB

I'm actually leaning Cadet, but McKinnon managed to put up over a hundred yards against Buffalo so maybe they're slipping.

Both are honestly pretty poor options in standard, although Cadet as you say has a little more value in PPR. I am expecting Ivory to have a decent game though just because he's a very similar runner to Mckinnon in terms of average yards after contact.

I feel like Stewart will at least get carries, Adams may have a good matchup against the Saints, Holmes may or may not be Carr's go to guy and who knows about Dixon.

I'd go T.Y Hilton over Watkins, unless you need a home run to win. Watkins put up massive numbers last week, but has otherwise been up and down. Hilton's been consistent, and now with Reggie Wayne out he might even get more looks.

Is New England going to be able to contain both Marshall and Jeffery, or prioritize Marshall? Is Arizona going to be able to focus entirely on Maclin and lock him down?

I'd go Maclin. The Cardinals have one of the worst passing D's in the league, NE has a very good pass D. On top of that, Maclin has been better than Marshall this year so far.

Ugh. I guess I'd go with Bowe, he hasn't been terrible lately and StL's defense is bad. I think it's too early to trust Harvin.

This. Arizona's rush defense is great but their pass D is meh.

I think I like Kelce for 2 reasons: I don't trust that Chicago Offense to do anything that makes sense. Maybe they score 40, maybe 10, who knows. More importantly though, StL's pass D is quietly terrible. They have the worst passing D DVOA in league which doesn't necessarily mean worst fantasy D, but it's a team you want to have pass catchers against.

Those are some pretty unappetizing choices. I think I'd go with Witten for the TE. For the flex, I don't know. If you felt like gambling you could try Brown, but I'd be surprised based on what the talk has been like about their situation if he gets used a lot. I'd probably pick Holmes personally, he was pretty bad last week but he usually at least gets a decent amount of targets.

Yes, I know my RB corps is terrible. I drafted a bunch of great players like Toby Gerhart and CJ Spiller and DeAngelo Williams. The only RB I drafted that hasn't failed horribly for me is Trent Richardson, and doesn't that just feel like getting kicked in the dick.

The obvious choice is McKinnon. For the second one, it's more of a tossup - with Sankey you know he's going to get a decent amount of carries, but will probably not do much with them and put in another 5-8 point performance. Robinson will maybe get a lot of carries, but who knows with JAcksonville's terrible RB situation. It's also against Miami which is a tough matchup. I think I'd go with Robinson just because theoretically I think he has a higher ceiling.

I can't believe I'm considering this but....do I sit Matt Ryan for Colt "Scramblebrains" McCoy?

It's a 2 QB league and with Ryan I'm projected to win by a little...but he hasn't lived up to his porjections for a while (neither has Julio Jones). I'm afraid of the Falcons getting completely destroyed and not even putting up points in garbage time. Then again, garbage time is about the only points I'd expect out of McCoy.

Umm, that's tough. I guess Doug Martin for a safer bet on getting some points. I don't trust Antone Smith to get many chances or to be able to do anything with them against Detroit.

Nah, I think you play Ryan. Those aren't ideal options, but McCoy is going to be bad.

Lots of decent options! Brown, Hilton, Bell, Ingram, McKinnon. I'd probably go Colts, as they've consistently done well, whereas Houston hasn't done particularly well on weeks that they haven't scored a TD.

I've currently got McKinnon and Vereen in, however I'm certainly concerned about Vereen's being under the weather, and am probably going to swap Bradshaw in and out a half-dozen times before kickoff. Thoughts?

I suppose, conceivably, VJax could be in play for wr3 instead Mike Wallace as well.
