.5ppr ESPN league, pick 1 Flex

Devanta Freeman
TJ Yeldon
CJ Spiller

I guess I'm tempted to throw Freeman in for Yeldon since he'll be getting all the carries finally and the Falcons are more likely to be playing with a lead while the Jags will likely be playing catch up. On the other hand Dallas has been destroying RBs so far this season. Kind of want to see something out of Spiller before I start him.

Other RBs this week are L.Murray and A.Morris, pretty set on them starting unless you guys convince me that's dumb.

^ Despite my starting Alfred Morris, I think in your situation I'd go Matt Jones. Dude looked real good last week and I think Washington will continue to run the hell out of the ball all season.

I like the Yeldon pick. I'm waiting for Spiller to have a productive week before I consider starting him, and Dallas has just been blowing up RBs these first 2 weeks.

With this Ivory news that he's a game time call, do I:


Play Ivory (if active)
Play Matt Jones tonight @ NYG
Play Woodhead @ Minny
Play Powell vs Philly (if Ivory inactive)


1PPR

In PPR Woodhead is probably the safest bet, decent floor as he'll get some targets and has the potential to pilfer a TD or two.

I had to choose between gambling on Ivory playing or going for Jones tonight, and I've opted for the latter, as at least I know he'll be taking the field.

I know I already asked this but I need someone to confirm my thinking. I need to play either Vereen or Garcon in Half PPR tonight. Garcon has gotten a lot of targets so far from Cousins and the Giants are missing their best corner so this looks like a good opportunity for him to put up a good game. I am leaning Garcon but Vereen looks to get a lot of use in the passing game tonight with the tough WSH run defense. Overthinking everything on Week 3, lord help me.

I like Marshall as your WR, but I would I say there is an argument for Murray over Woodhead in 0PPR. Murray is the obvious leader and has looked good and a lot of Woodhead's value comes from catching passes.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I think you're point of NYG missing their best corner convinces me to play Garcon. While Vereen will get looks tonight, I can see a situation were the Redskins get up by 2 scores and Eli goes into "chuck to ODB" mode.

That WR choice is tough. I think you're right to stay with BMarsh though, Phi looks awful. I think the GB/KC game is going to be a good game with a decent scoreline though.
LMurray, Cleveland has one of the worst yards before contact stats in the game, and LMurray is great at yards before contact, if I am remembering correctly.

Speaking of which, is there a non premium site that has stats about Yards After/Before Contact?

RB:

LeSean McCoy @ Mia
Ronnie Hillman @ Det
Doug Martin @ Hou

WR
Stevie Johnson @ Min
Keenan Allen @ Min
Travis Benjamin @ Oak

I've been sitting Anderson up til now, but Detroit seems like a matchup where he might finally be able to shine. On the other hand, this looks like a tight match-up for my team this week, and if he comes up empty again, I could be dead in the water.
I still have no idea if I should favor Stevie or Keenan Allen against Minnesota.

I have two RB spots in full PPR I'm thinking:
T.J. Yeldon @ NE
Shane Vereen vs Was
Over
Alfred Morris @ NYG
Isaiah Crowell vs Oak
Darren Sproles vs NYJ

Vereen has so far has scored more consistently than the other three, Yeldon should be getting an increased workload this week with all the injuries. Morris is going up against a weak NY defense however so I'm torn.

Forte (Seattle)
Forsett (Dallas)
Gurley (Pittsburgh)
Matt Jones (NYG)
Karlos Williams (Buffalo)

The bold ones are my current starters. Which one of these jerks should i sink my streak on.

Also have Mike Evans in my flex slot and wondering if Stevie Johnson (Minnesota) or one of the above might give me some more reliable numbers.

I would start Morris for his upside versus the NY and probably go with Crowell for RB2. I think the Redskins have a good chance to get ahead early and really limit Vereen's ability to produce against them so I would not pit Morris and Vereen against each other. Jacksonville has been looking pretty good but they are definitely going to need to be able to utilize the passing game against NE. Of course, I know nothing about running backs.

I think your RBs are the right choice. Even going up against a tough D, Forte is going to be relied upon a lot and will probably pick up garbage time yardage in the passing game. Don't sit your studs. Forsett has been solid if not spectacular so that is an easy decision against Dallas.

I would much rather have Stevie in my flex than Evans. Stevie has looked great so far and Evans has yet to catch a pass. As an Evans owner, I am going to hold off on him another week until I see him invoved in any way.

Full PPR. Pick 2 of 3 for my RB2 and Flex Spot.

Darren Sproles @ NYJ
Ronnie Hillman @ Det

Rashad Jennings vs. Washington TONIGHT

I'm really loving torn. Rashad probably provides more of a floor than the other two, but I don't really like the matchup for him. The fact he's in the Thursday game makes it all the worse. Do I at least establish a floor with him tonight and then fill the second slot based on what Jennings puts up tonight? Or just say gently caress it and go Sproles/Hillman? My heart says gently caress it. My head says just play Rashad.

I think Tyrod has way more upside. The Vikings are running the ball a ton and Teddy only had a good line last week because he ran one in for a TD.

Ameer Abdullah (vs. Denver) or Shane Vereen in my flex? Neither match-up looks good but the Lions offense looked like complete dogshit last week, especially the running game, and the Denver defense seems legit.

It's .5 PPR. Probably a slight advantage to Vereen there but not huge.

Gotta agree with your reasoning anyway though. I like Abdullah better on the season, but man this just does not look like his week.

Besides, I feel like a rookie getting two good games in a row is a rarity. So I'm sitting Jones and expecting a big week next week. If he blows up, oh well. I'm flying to Austin during the game so I can't even watch. I feel good with this decision and if Jones blows up I've got a gem on the bench.

Alfred Morris is a pretty safe play. His points haven't been spectacular, but he has seen a lot of touches and good yardage which is pretty much what you want from your RB (also going against the Giants D). Philly Run D is also pretty good even if they are gassed by the second half from their inept offense.
