Which WR I play in my Flex spot (RB is not really an option, its an 18 team league so there is no one on waivers either):

Sammy Watkins vs. Buffalo

OR

Josh Gordon vs. Carolina

OR

Marques Colston vs. Atlanta


I also picked up Dunbar in hopes Murray is ruled out, so he is an option as well, but I don't think a great one.

League is ESPN standard scoring with .5 PPR.

Sammy Watkins is against Oakland which is a money start

Josh Gordon has JFF throwing to him against a much improved defense

Marques Colston is hot or cold but ATL isn't exactly the best defense

Sammy is the safe play with Gordon being the potential home run.


**

Here's my issue though, my wideout situation (yahoo standard scoring 1ppr)

Pick 2 Wideout and a flex

Donte Moncrief
Reggie Wayne
Larry Fitzgerald
Deandre Hopkins
Malcolm Floyd
Marcus Wheaton

Reggie Wayne/Fitzgerald/Hopkins are all nursing injuries otherwise I would have went with those three but now I'm starting to second guess myself. With Hilton not playing I'm thinking that Wayne may have a good day but Moncrief is very tempting. Hopkins is the biggest potential of all of them but has an ankle injury and Case Keenum throwing to him. Larry Fitzgerald is going against SEA with a third stringer.

I am starting Floyd for sure with Allen going down.

I'm thinking of picking Wayne back up off waivers and going Floyd Wayne Hopkins.

Someone talk me out of it!

It's looking more and more unlikely that TY will play. You will probably have to play Evans.

Ok guys, here's what I'm looking at:



I have to start Murray right? Would you start Julio if it looks like he's going to play? Should I slot in Harry Douglas over Gordon if he doesn't? .25 ppr and return yards only notable rules. Yes, it's only 8 teams, and yes, I've mostly dominated this year.

julio or harry over gordon yes, i might consider joique over forte this week but it depends how you rate the bears offense with clausen. and yes murray needs to be played unless hes inactive this week

Pick a FLEX (no PPR ESPN):

Gray @ NY Jets

Experts all say Crowell, but he's had so many duds that I'm tempted to start Landry for a little consistency. Gray is obviously the biggest gamble, any word on who Belichick intends to throw in there this week?

Not in the championship, but can still get my $100 back with a win Wk16-17.

I'd start Douglas because he has that history of production, but Julio Jones is looking like he's going to play. Moncrief should still be fine with TY out.

I hate starting TEs in a flex spot. Murray seems to have the best floor. And yeah, LaFell is a no brainer though Bernard can do some receiving damage.

I'm in the DeMarco boat along with a lot of you guys.

Need 2 RBs in 0.2PPR from this group:

DeMarco Murray vs Ind.
Jeremy Hill vs. Denver
Mark Ingram vs. Atlanta
Jonathan Stewart vs. Cleveland
Lamar Miller vs. Minnesota

Ingram obviously has a really good matchup. He's hasn't impressed me the last few weeks though. And Hill has looked really good but has a bad matchup with a good Denver D. Or I could just start Hill and Ingram? Not really considering Stewart or Miller.

Anyone have any thoughts on mine? I've changed my mind a hundred times since posting and currently have DeMarco and Ingram in there.

One other option that I hadn't really considered is that I could start all 3 of Murray, Hill and Ingram and bench Randall Cobb. Feels like this should be a week for him to get back on track though. The Packers should be pissed.

i really like stewart with dwill trending towards being inactive, and i dont like jeremy hill but hes hard to sit after last week. if it were me id probably make that swap, but i understand if you leave it alone

edit: also like cobb this week, all this hype about tampa bay trending upwards in their defensive play really seems hollow when you look at their schedule from the last 5 weeks

Man, I don't know. I don't think you can sit Ingram. He's still getting the vast majority of the carries and is against awful Atlanta run d. Despite Hill's quality, I'd probably lean towards benching him and playing Ingram. Bernard still got a lot of touches last week, and may get even more as the passing back against Denver. I would personally probably go Murray, Ingram, Cobb, but I would be very sad about not being able to play all four. You really can't go wrong with any of them, though.

Thanks guys. I have dominated this league all year (due to my insane depth. Gonna be real pissed if I lose) so I've been dealing with decisions like this a lot. I appreciate hearing some other perspectives.

I'm currently leaning Murray/Ingram/Cobb as well. Hill looked so good last week but the Denver matchup really does make me take pause when I've got other good options. I like Stewart a lot this week too, but I just don't think I can fit him in.

Seriously considering Matt Ryan over Peyton this week. I have Julio/Douglas slotted for one of my WR spots, so I'd be riding and dying with the Falcons, but I expect a high scoring game (and I think Vegas does too).

Is this DSYS territory or does Peyton's last few performances plus Matt Ryan's hot streak justify putting Peyton on the pine?
