Ryan, but if Julio can't go... follow your heart.

Murray has the upside and I think Rashad will have a decent floor this week, he's not even on the injury report. KC's defense has been getting owned by RBs lately so I'd go Murray.

Must-win time. Do I have this right? Hill taking more of the carries give him the edge over Morris against Cleveland's lovely run D.

.5 PPR

Assuming Julio is playing:

RB1:McCoy
RB2:Hill
WR1:Julio
WR2:Benjamin
FLEX: Gordon

Bench: Alfred Morris, Harry Douglas, Latavius Murray


Assuming Julio isn't playing, not quite sure who to flex. Help!

RB1: McCoy
RB2: Hill
WR1: Benjamin
WR2: Gordon
FLEX: Morris, Douglas or Murray

Washington is playing NYG this week homie. Their defense has been looking better and I think gameflow will leave Morris out in the cold. this is a long way of saying you're right about Hill

If it's a must-win, I think you gotta go Murray in the flex if Julio can't go. upside for days

I forgot about the existence of Fred Jackson on my bench. Would it be worth it to flex him over Jordan Matthews or Martavis Bryant? Currently flexing Matthews with Bryant on the bench, but will start both if Julio can't play.

Reed's probably the best upside and the better match-up? Rudolph hasn't really been integrated into the Vikings offense and Oakland is still Oakland. Yeah, the QB situation is awful in Washington but Reed's probably going to see a lot of targets if Jackson's out this week (which means Garcon's going to draw coverage from the Giants secondary). It's pretty much a crapshoot though, TEs have been horrible this year outside of like 3 guys.

Up by ten in the second week of my first playoff match. Now that Ellington's out, OH GOD WHAT DO I DO?

RB2:
R. Mathews
Kerwynn Williams
(Waiver poo poo? Hillman, Helu, and Blue are out there but, uh...)

TE:
Fleener
Jordan Cameron
Fleener's high variance but has a chance to actually put up points, I suppose.

Flex: (This is the harder choice)
M. Wallace @NE
M. Sanu @Cle
M. Bryant @Atl

Wallace and Sanu worry me because they've really fallen off recently, but Bryant is second fiddle to Antonio Brown even though the Falcons pass defense is a disaster, and both of them are competing against Le'Veon Bell for TDs anyways...

COMEDY OPTION: Play Ellington anyways & pray for medical miracles?

For RB, I'd check the waiver a bit more. Mathews is hurt so B. Oliver might not be a bad play, or maybe Chris Johnson? If Mathews plays you'll have to go with him, I'd stay away from Kerwynn Williams IMHO.

For TE I really like Cameron this week with a new QB against a decent Cin defense. Fleener is still producing with Allen in the mix but he's more risky I think than Cameron.

For Flex I'd go Sanu since Haden will likely shut down Green. Wallace will be on Revis Island and Bryant is a very risky, high upside play.

Thanks. I'll run Sanu @ flex, then. Oliver & Johnson are owned right now; our RB waiver wire has been pretty much cleaned up recently with the injuries on mid-season stars and the various RBBC's that have been run.

Standard Scoring, no PPR. Pick one.

Jeremy Hill @ Cle.
Jordan Matthews v. Dal.
Jonathan Stewart v. T.B.
Keenan Allen v. Den.

Leaning Hill at the moment after they said he was gonna get the majority of the carries, was initially going to go with Stewart, but after Cam's accident I'm concerned that Tampa will focus on shutting down the run. Matthews I see as a safe play and Allen is who the hell knows.

1 PPR, ESPN standard, a very even semifinals playoff match (according to ESPN predictions, lol).

Pick my RB2:
Jamaal Charles v. Oak
Daniel Herron v. Hou
Knile Davis v. Oak
Pierre Thomas @ Chi
Kerwynn Williams @ StL

Right now I'm vaccilating between Herron and Williams. If Charles has a setback, I'd start Knile in his place.

If Julio Jones doesn't play, should I start Jake Locker v. NYJ over Matt Ryan v. Pitt?

Pick my FLEX. In addition to the above RBs, I am starting:
Kelvin Benjamin v. TB
ODBJ v. Wsh

Currently FLEXed:
Roddy White v. Pit

On my bench:
Rueben Randle v. Wsh
Martavis Bryant @ Atl
Tim Wright (TE) v. Mia

I'm currently starting at TE:
Julius Thomas, who is listed as Q, but is almost certain to play.

Finally, I currently have rostered and am starting Giants D/ST v. Wsh. Waiver pickings are slim, but I could potentially grab Panthers v. TB, Titans v. NYJ, Steelers @ Atl, Bucs @ Car, etc. Basically a whole load of poo poo.

Need an RB2 and flex in 0.5 PPR:
RB Lamar Miller @ NE
RB Jeremy Hill @ CLE
RB Latavius Murray @ KC
WR Kenny Stills @ CHI

Leaning Miller and Stills I guess? These guys are all so closely ranked in the FP flex rankings having a hard time with this one.


In my other league, several positions are up in the air:

Pick one of each category, standard scoring:
QB: Russell Wilson vs SF or Mark Sanchez vs DAL
RB2: Alfred Morris @ NYG or Jonathan Stewart vs. TB
WR3: Vincent Jackson @ CAR or Martavis Bryant @ ATL
TE: Travis Kelce vs OAK or Jordan Reed @ NYG
DEF: Panthers vs TB or Giants vs WAS

In this one my opponent's team is significantly better than mine, so looking for upside mostly.

Thanks for the advice, the idea of starting Miller & Hill does make me a little less uneasy than a boom/bust player like Stills. Just have a weird feeling that a pissed off Drew Brees is going to use the terrible Bears defense as a punching bag this week. Think I'll also probably swap in Wilson/Giants.

Yeah it's very possible that Stills goes off. Miller would be the guy I'd sit in his place. Hill looks like he's going to get the lion's share of the touches going forward.

Before anyone asks why I would lump AJ with running backs, I think both backs will have big games and AJ has consistently had his lunch eaten by Joe Haden for years, so it's not the usual "set it and forget it" you can do with Green.

I think I'm rolling with Blount, as MIA's run defense has fallen off a cliff in the last 3 weeks and I see the Patriots having a lot of runs to kill time.

I'm doubting my earlier resolve about D/ST.

NYG vs. Was
StL vs. Ari

Here's my thinking. The Giants came up huge last week. St. Louis came up even bigger, against Washington. Whom the Giants play this week. Colt McCoy is apparently starting for Washington again. Gruden is reportedly getting fired at the end of the year. Washington has given up. Washington has also allowed the 2nd most points to team defenses.

But St. Louis has been on fire lately. Teams have been crashed against their shore and been broken. Arizona is likely going to meet the same sticky end. I'm not sure I want to miss out on that. Plus, I mean, it's the Giants.

Help?

I'm playing the NYG Def over GB's Def this week. (tentatively at least)
However, if given the choice I'd probably prefer the STL def. That front is nasty, and they blitz a lot. I don't know if Ari's O-line is any good though.

I'm assuming JC is already your RB1. Then I'd go Herron.

Matt Ryan will be productive against PIT with both/just one of Roddy White and Harry Douglas. It will always be a passing offense and PITs secondary is not all great.

If White is healthy, start him. If he's gimpy, M. Bryant.

Giants are fine.

It's looking more and more like DeAngelo is going to sit Sunday so I'd fire Jstew for safe points. If you're looking for a player to go off for a bucket of points hopefully Graham gets it together this week. I also like L.Murray this week but it's riskier.

I was tempted to start Tre Mason this week against Ari until I read the DeAngelo news. Of course JStew will probably hurt himself on his first touch, but we will see.

Tate in PPR should be a very safe 10-15 points at least with a ceiling of maybe 20-22 (10 catches, 100 yards kind of day)? Martavis can go 2 catches for 19 yards or 4 catches for 110 and a TD. I'd probably go Tate.

My whole roster is being held together by my RBs (Charles, Anderson, Herron, Hyde), Wilson, and my IDPs; so I really can't afford any duds.

Pick an RB2 (0.2 PPR)

Jeremy Hill @ Cleveland
Jonathan Stewart vs Tampa Bay
Mark Ingram @ Chicago Bears
Lamar Miller @ New England

Now I'm starting to think that Stewart is the better play, since it looks like DeAngelo Williams will be out. I'm also tempted to drop one of those guys (probably Stewart, because this is the only week I might start him. Won't do it when DeAngelo is back) on Saturday and grabbing the Bills D for Week 16. Couldn't drop Stewart if I played him though.

e: When I frame it that way I kind of want to run with Hill. I'm very heavily favoured in this week's matchup and would love to get the Bills for next week before they hit waivers after this weekend. Hill + Bills seems better to me than starting Stewart.
