You only delay the inevitable. All of this island will soon belong to me.

RULES

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so.
2) Note your scoring settings.
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.

So I managed to grab some guys off the waivers to supplement my bench and replace some gambles I had in week 1.

Currently starting 0.5 PPR league with 2 flex spots:

RB1: Matt Forte vs. ARI
RB2 Lamar Miller vs. JAC
WR1: Odell Beckham vs. ATL
WR2: Brandin Cooks vs. TB
Flex 1: LeGarrette Blount vs. BUF
Flex 2: Roddy White vs. NYG

Bench options:

RB Joique Bell vs. MIN
RB Danny Woodhead vs. CIN
WR Vincent Jackson vs. NO
WR Stevie Johnson vs. CIN
WR James Jones vs. SEA

Flex spots are wide open, also open to opinions on my 2 positions for RB and WR.

Standard, need to pick one RB out of:
  • T. Coleman @ Giants (got 20 carries week 1, giants D is probably not good)
  • B. Sankey @ Browns (had a big week 1, probably inflated by a bad TB defense, might not actually be good, best matchup on paper)
  • L. Murray vs. Ravens (probably the most talented of the 3 but has the worst matchup this week)

You didn't give an alternative, so yeah, I'd say you should start Ryan over an empty spot :v: (No, you shouldn't worry about Ryan having a bad game, he's going to throw to Julio and score a million points)

I'm stuck with some guy who shat the bed week 1 but I'm too scared to sit and so I've got analysis paralysis.

In a standard scoring ESPN league:
Peyton (vs KC) or Romo (vs Phi)
Sammy Watkins (vs NE) or Fitzgerald (vs Chi) - this one seems obvious to Fitz since Chicago's secondary is butte and Sammy got shut out last week, but I feel like his upside is really high and Fitz has burnt me in the past.

Romo and Fitz. Nothing to do with Peyton and Watkins making GBS threads the bed, but Romo in a shootout and Fitz against the Bears are obvious plays. You should probably plan on starting Fitz over Watkins most weeks, tbh. I wouldn't shy away from Peyton so much, but this week given Romo's matchup and Peyton's poor showing, hurt back, and short week, it's an easy call.

I really don't like Terrance after that first game where he seemed to drop everything that came his way. I think Cole Beasley sees a much larger % of the targets with Dez out and Terrance is too hit or miss. I would most likely go Stevie and CJ2K.

Woodhead's scoring was very TD dependent last game and I wouldn't go into Week 2 expecting the same. Johnson looks like he has the higher floor (caught 6 passses for 82 yards).

I like Maclin there, but I'd probably go Tate over CJ2k. I dunno, I wouldn't fault you for starting him, but he's bad, haha. Probably Ertz, though if Evans sits again or is limited, I think ASJ will have a better chance to score. Tough to know if Ertz will see as many targets if the Eagles can get the run game going better, too.

Yeah it really pains me to consider starting CJ2K so I'm going to see if I can shop my new ~*starting RB1*~ around for literally anything else.

Blount is going to be given the ball a decent amount I think, but I don't have high hopes for production. That said, Sproles is even harder to depend on, so I would go Blount/Steve Smith.

J. Randle @ Phi

N Agholor v Dal
I Crowell v Ten
D Moncrief v NYJ

I'm leaning Randle and Jones. James Jones might have Sherman on him all night (Didnt watch the packers last week, but that's right, isn't it? Adams lines up on the right, Cobb in the slot, Sherman will be on Jones when all 3 are out there?), but Moncrief will almost definitely have Revis on him for most of the game.

I like Agholor in a vacuum (at home, should be a high scoring game), but I want to see something from him first.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

ESPN standard scoring, no PPR, I have a lot of adequate options this week but I feel like none are going to be super great.

Current choices in bold:
RB - pick 2
CJ Anderson @KC
C.Ivory @Ind (like Ivory a lot but Indy could be tough especially if the Jets get behind and have to start throwing)
A.Morris @STL (I'd think he'd be a safe play just based on usage but Rams D is tough)
D.Woodhead @CIN (don't know that he can replicate last week's performance and I'd imagine he has a time limit anyway once they work Gordon in more)
L.Blount @BUF (hearing smoke about Dion Lewis getting snaps so pats_rbs.txt)

WR - pick 2
A.Brown vSF
A.Jeffrey vARI
J.Edelmen @BUF (figure he'd have a high floor)
P.Harvin vNE (doubt he can keep producing)
A.Boldin @Pit (only reason I list him is that I feel like this game could turn into a shootout)

I also need one flex from the above and I'm currently leaning Morris but I'm a waffling idiot, thanks in advance.

Marques Colston (TB)
Doug Baldwin (@GB) [I guess]

I'm feeling pretty blah on my options for this one overall. Tate seems like a given, and given how Johnson looked in week one and Dez's injury/the favorable matchup I'm currently leaning towards Williams, but maybe I should let it ride with Johnson instead?

I'm high on Woodhead so I'm kind of leaning towards him but I feel like its kind of a coinflip. I think Oakland will most likely be playing from behind but it didn't seem to hurt Murray's production last week. Just know that whoever you pick the other guy will have a great day on your bench.

Larry Fitzgerald (Flex)
Amari Cooper
Steve Smith Sr
Pierre Garcon

My main problem I guess is too many WR options; at this point, I can't seem to tell who should be slotted into the WR2 position and Flex? Or should I just go by like the Boris Chen tier rankings?

Additionally, I've got the following to choose for DSTs this week. I've got the Vikings slotted in currently, but probably need to switch them out.
