Bradford or Palmer. Palmer has a super easy match up this week, but Bradford isn't far behind and season long I'd much rather have Bradford. Just stick with him.

Shameless repost.

Evans for sure if he goes; should be healthy, should be down a ton and passing all day, and ASJ and VJax showed that even an awful Winston can get his receivers some fantasy points. For your 2nd there, that's tougher. I'd probably go Adams, assuming Sherman will lock down Cobb, Lacy will have a tough day, and so GB's other receivers will be targeted heavily. Otherwise, I'd take Tate or Robinson, probably in that order. For QB, can't argue with Ben there. I'm going Brady over Cam and Foles in one league, but not feeling great about it, and would start Ben there if I had him.

Thanks RVP. I went ahead and slotted in Evans, it makes a lot more sense now that it seems he'll be suiting up (decoy game ahoy!), and I didn't really think about Davante too much because GB has been so bad against Sea, but you make a good point about Sherman covering Cobb most of the day. Does Sherman still only cover one side of the field or does he shift around to the best WR these days?

I confess to having no idea really, but read in several places that Sherman might be used in the slot. For example,

Evan Silva posted:

Rodgers' Week 1 target distribution: Davante Adams 8; Randall Cobb 5; James Jones 4; Lacy and Richard Rodgers 3. ... On Opening Day, Sherman lined up at left corner in Seattle's base defense and moved to the slot in sub-packages, with RCB Cary Williams and LCB Deshawn Shead on the boundaries. If this alignment sticks and the Packers don't adjust, we can expect Sherman to cover Cobb on a ton of Week 2 snaps. Green Bay's offensive coaches are aware of this, of course. Don't forget that in Week 1 of 2014, the Packers used then-third receiver Jarrett Boykin to essentially occupy Sherman's coverage, while Cobb and Jordy Nelson ran in other areas of the field. While Cobb might not be a strong DFS play, I'd be hard pressed to simply assume the Packers won't adjust, and therefore bench Cobb in a season-long league. ... Immediately bypassing Ty Montgomery and Jeff Janis for third receiver duties, Jones started against the Bears in Week 1, played 92% of Green Bay's offensive snaps, and made his presence felt in the red zone with touchdown catches from 1 and 13 yards out. Jones' usage and playing time are right where they need to be for Jones to be treated as an every-week WR3 with WR2 upside. If all of last week's alignments do stick, Jones will run most of his routes at shaky RCB Williams. ... Adams' Week 1 stat line (4-59-0) disappointed, but his team-high target count and snap rate (97%) did not. As the Packers line up in three-receiver sets as a base offense, Adams figures to run most of his patterns at LCB Shead, a special teamer and sometimes safety.

No problem. Not sure how Silva's advice is generally regarded, but his weekly match up posts are fantastic for going beyond just looking at projections or boxscores to try to pick your starters, since he actually touches on caveats to last week's performances, likely defensive match ups, etc: http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/56357/179/silvas-week-2-matchups

Got Murray in there right now, but I really don't like that matchup with Baltimore, especially because they'll likely be behind. Not that Yeldon isn't likely to be trailing either, but I thought he held up fairly well against a tough Carolina D last week.

This is a clear don't sit your studs situation. Yes, it's a tough matchup, but it's not like Yeldon's matchup is that much better.

e. And if you (already, based on one game) think Gore is going to be a bust, trade him before he's confirmed a bust and get an RB2 you are willing to start every week.

Julian Edelman @ Buffalo

Amari Cooper vs Baltimore
Kendall Wright @ Cleveland

Edelman is really paying off in the PPR department as usual and I have no problem starting him even against the best defense in the league. Right now I'm waiting to see if Hilton becomes better than a game-time decision before Sunday. What would you do?

Golden Tate or Rueben Randle - Got Tate locked in now, but the Giants match-up looks very tempting.

Ladarius Green or Eric Ebron - Favoring Green right now, but I'm bad at making obvious decisions.


Side note, anyone else considering hopping on the Mariota bus this week? My current QB is Russell Wilson, but now I'm thinking about just saying "gently caress it" and seeing how this all pans out.

Need 1RB, 1 WR and 1 flex from this group:
Agholor vDal
Abdullah @Min
Cooper vBal
Doug Martin @NO
Spiller vTB

I'm having a hard time choosing between Abdullah, Martin, and Spiller because I see great games from all of them this week. Cooper and Agholor feels like the world's worst coinflip.

e: bolded my choices

GoonTier, 0.5 ppr, no PR/KR yards but TDs count. 12 teams (zeroordie please ignore this post tia)
Flex (1):
Moncrief vNYJ
A Rob vMia
Lockett @GB
L Murray vBal
James Jones vSea

e: bolded=if Hilton starts; italic=if Hilton sits

I like Moncrief if Hilton plays because I think that'll free him up to run all over the Jets backfield. If he doesn't play...I'm leaning Jones.

How many? Is it PPR? I'd go Tate and Wright if it's 2. If 3, toss in Andre. Hilton will draw Revis if he plays; if he doesn't, Moncrief will.

I think Tate and Green. Lions probably won't target Ebron as much. The Chargers D is actually really good this year and the Vikings are not.

Don't flex Green over perfectly serviceable RBs in standard scoring. Allen, Stevie, and Woodhead are the top three options there, Green isn't going to see a ton of volume. I'd probably go Yeldon there.

0 PPR, 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE 1 Flex, standard ESPN scoring, I need to figure out how to weather another week until L. Bell comes back:

QB: Luck, Stafford
RB: L. Bell, F. Gore, J. Stewart, D. Martin, I. Crowell
WR: ODB, J. Matthews, N. Agholor, D. Adams, J. Jones
TE: G. Olsen, D. Allen

For flex, I was going to run Martin, but I'm tempted by James Jones. I know last week might have been a fluke, but I just snagged him off the waiver wire and I'm a huge Packers homer so...

(And I know I have both Adams and Jones; that's because when I was drafting Randall Cobb was out but I didn't realize that Adams would be passed over for Jones.)

Don't flex a TE when you have someone like Matthews. The reason to doubt Eifert having another monster week is that he's a TE on a run first team with AJ Green ahead of him. You don't sit the Eagles' WR1 for a TE, not even in standard scoring, and sure as poo poo not in full PPR. It isn't even close! Who are the rest of the guys you're starting?
