Full PPR, deep benches in a dynasty league... Have to go with Wheaton tonight, right?

Pick 1:

Markus Wheaton @ NE (opportunity there with no Bell and no Bryant, but he's also garbage)

Rueben Randle @ DAL (Cruz probably not playing)
Devin Funchess @ JAC (had some lingering injuries, usage uncertain, he might not actually be any good)
Allen Hurns v CAR (JThomas out, Marqise Lee probably not playing)
Brandon Coleman @ ARI (total dart throw)
DeVante Parker @ WAS (not worth starting yet)

I have something I think I know the answer to, but humor me:
Luck @ Buf or Tannehill @ Wash? Yes, yes, ANDREW LUCK and all that, but Tannehills is going against the worst secondary in the league bar none and Buffalo is stout as gently caress defensively. I'm leaning toward Luck but am I crazy for even considering this?


I'd take Murray.

You're not crazy. Still, don't sit your studs, start Luck but be prepared for the possibility it turns out the other way.

This isn't a question so much as an announcement.

Though if anybody else is wondering if they should start Scott Chandler tonight over literally anybody, the answer is definitively "no".

Latavius Pro: Had an excellent end of season last year, playing at home, Cinci's run D is/was horrible, likely to get the ball a lot especially if the Raiders can build a lead
Latavius Con: Plays for the Raiders

Ivory Pro: Playing at home, Cleveland has a mediocre run D, Fitzpatrick is going to be handing the ball off a lot, Chan Gailey offense
Ivory Con: Plays for the Jets

I'd go Ivory, fwiw. Close, but I think Ivory is safer and has just about as much upside as Murray. Smaller chance of the Raiders being up on Cinci and running the clock than Jets being up on Cleveland, yeah? Game script isn't going to favor either of them too much this year, but Ivory more often.

Ben vs Dalton?

Foxboro will be wet, probably with light rain. Ben is missing Martavis, his center, and his all-world RB. Light rain is apparently really bad for offense: http://www.nflstatsblog.com/2011/08/myth-1-bad-weather-affects-score.html

NFL lines (line plus O/U comparison) have CIN scoring 1.5 points more than PIT this week.

Dalton is fully locked and loaded with a healthy offense against last year's pathetic OAK defense, in a good weather game. Both teams are on the road, but NEP's crowd will undoubtedly be much more energetic than OAK's. Both NEP and OAK have a good front four and weak secondary.

Actually leaning Dalton.

Amendola vPit
Agholor @Atl <---my new decision. Sounds good?
Abdullah @SD

I feel like Amendola is a sneaky WR1 this week but Agholor has a nice shootout. AA probably also has a great floor/ceiling but runs the risk of sitting behind a healthy Joique all game.

It might seem like I'm getting cute but with Jordy out, Spiller hurt, and L Bell suspended, my original game plan is out the window.

edit-
RB: McCoy, Doug
WR: AB, Hopkins, Cooper

I mean, if those are really your options, Woodhead is 100% for sure the right choice. SD has been talking up a straight up RBBC, not just Woodhead occasionally spelling Gordon. Dunbar is going to be warming the bench.

Gore @ BUF or Crowell @ NYJ in .25 PPR.

Just saw the news out of Indy that says Gore is going to be on a "pitch count" of sorts early in the season to preserve him for a playoff run, and he's up against the Buffalo D this week. Crowell looks to get a good majority of work this week, and the Jets D is good but no Sheldon Richardson this week.

Starting 3 WR/2 RB/1 Flex and I currently have

WR: Maclin, Cooks, and A. Brown
RB: Forsett, Gore
Flex: Boldin

How are those your RB2 options already? Spiller obviously, but did you draft Foster too for later? That's a rough RB group.

I'm rolling out Gore, despite being slightly nervous like you. Crowell has not been super impressive, and Duke Johnson is looking to be healthy and is being talked up by the coach.

Draft kind of forced me into 0RB when Gronk and Rodgers fell to me at 16 and 33. It's GoonTier, so the other owners are good enough that my mid-round targets were sniped, and I ended up going for IDP in the mid-rounds over questionable RBs. I think my team is pretty solid all-in-all if it stays healthy:

9 Dez Bryant, Dal WR
16 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
33 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
40 Golden Tate, Det WR
57 C.J. Spiller, NO RB
64 Chris Ivory, NYJ RB
81 DeAndre Levy, Det LB
88 Harrison Smith, Min S
105 Danny Woodhead, SD RB
112 Karlos Dansby, Cle LB
129 Daryl Smith, Bal LB
136 Stevie Johnson, SD WR
153 Breshad Perriman, Bal WR
160 Landon Collins, NYG S
177 Pierre Garcon, Wsh WR
184 Michael Crabtree, Oak WR (Dropped for Eric Berry)
201 Khalil Mack, Oak LB (get DE eligibility like Yahoo plz tia)
208 Zach Zenner, Det RB
225 Lance Dunbar, Dal RB
232 Dan Bailey, Dal K
249 Willie Young, Chi DE (Dropped for Peppers)




Hopefully Zenner can work his way into at least a bye week flex and/or all of my WRs hit and I can flip one for an RB.


e: I just dropped Dunbar for McKinnon. Khiry, West, and Polk are probably the best RBs out there; it's like a wasteland.

Did you end up going with Dalton? Ben might still snag a late TD here, of course, but Dalton to Green is probably the better bet now!

I ended up going Ben because it's just week 1 but that's the type of logic I go through for start sits midseason. Was mad for not going Dalton until the final meaningless 45 seconds of that game with the gift yardage and TD.
