Gore
J Hill
Latavius Murray
Hillman

Pick Two. PPR.

The problem is that Murray and JHill are questionable and Gore plays tonight. I can't decide whether to throw him in there as a safe, low ceiling bet. I guess I always have Hillman if one of the backs doesn't go.

Can't decide between Blount and Lewis this week. I forsee this being an ongoing headache...

Lewis will get the majority of the carries to start, but Blount will clean up once the game get's out of hand

I don't know how other people feel about this but... Blount so hard it hurts. He has a floor of a 3-4 points and has a very high ceiling from potential: 2nd half ground and pound, garbage time, and poaching red zone touchdowns. Worst case, it is a close game and Cowboys DLine holds up (possible if Cowboys defense steps up and the Cowboys offense can control the game similar to the 2014 Seahawks formula). I very much doubt the Patriots will get behind early and it turns into a shoot out.

I am playing Blount in my Flex spot over Melvin Gordon (can we make a neat nickname for him now... saying Gordon reminds me of the bad Gordon) and Ronnie Hillman in place of Karlos Williams if Williams is ruled out.

Got an awful mess at WR, looking for 3 WRs in a Yahoo standard no-PPR:

T.Y. Hilton @ HOU (starting)
James Jones v STL (starting)

That leaves me starting one of these folks at the last spot:

Martavius Bryant @ SD
Michael Crabtree v DEN
Vincent Jackson v JAX
Golden Tate v ARI

Any thoughts? I've got Bryant in right now.

^ I might consider Tate but honestly it feels like kind of a coin flip considering we have nothing to go on with Bryant this season and he has Vick throwing to him.

Would it be overthinking it if I sat Jeremy Hill going against the Seattle defense? My only real alternative is starting Spiller who has the better matchup with Philadelphia, but aside from that one catch last week he's not exactly reliable. I just feel a "15 carries for 40 yards, no TDs" at best performance coming from Hill. e: I could also pick up boobie dixon against Tennessee, but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Also Delanie Walker vs Buffalo or Antonio Gates vs Pittsburgh, and
Matt Ryan vs Washington or Carson Palmer @ Detroit?

I hear ya, I'm in a similar boat.

For QB, I'd do Matt Ryan.

For my PPR league, I'm trying to decide who to put in as my Flex. Amari Cooper or Pierre Garcon? I Think Garcon has the better matchup, considering how the Falcons were re: Hopkins last week, but I can't tell if I'm trying to rationalize subbing in a worse player who has a "better" matchup vs. someone who's just a better player? Plus, there's the potential for DeSean Jackson to play this weekend too?

I don't know if I want to gamble on Denver's rotating shitfest or if I want to gamble on Blount reproducing anything close to his last game. I hate my running backs.

I have a tricky decision this week. I need a flex (non-ppr) and my choices are:

Stevie Johnson vs PIT (Questionable, may not play)
Desean Jackson @ ATL (Questionable, may not play)
LeSean McCoy @ TEN (Doubtful, almost certainly won't play)
Sammy Watkins @ TEN (Questionable, probably won't play)
Darren McFadden vs NE (I'm starting Randle already)
Christine Michael vs NE (Ditto)
Boobie Dixon @ TEN (Probably sucks)

Ew.

Stevie is the play if he's healthy, but you're likely not going to know that before Monday. It sounds like Dan Herron might get more touches than Boobie. I'd consider dropping Dixon, either for Herron or for someone more reliable on the wire.

Herron is owned. I can grab Golden Tate, Rashad Jennings, Anquan Boldin, Shane Vereen, Eddie Royal, etc.

Any of them worth grabbing and starting over Boobie?

Is there any reason not to start both if you have them? I'm in a similar situation, but have both on my active roster right now and think that it looks like my best bet. Could also sub in Latavius Murray or Danny Woodhead. I may also be blinded by my hatred of the Cowboys and the desire to see them suffer.

Worth noting - while Denver's line did look improved last week, their LT has been ruled out and Evan Mathis is questionable, which makes Denver RBs more risky this week.

Standard format.

I'm carrying McCoy, Special K, and Carolina D on my bench in addition to having Ivory on bye.

I have Daniels and Gates slotted in TE and Flex positions. My only other available player is Pierre Garcon. Is Garcon a better play than either Daniels or Gates for flex this week?

K. Aiken, R. Randle, Crabtree, M Jones, Sproles, and R. Mathews are all Waiver options as well if I wanted to drop Garcon or Daniels.

I would go Abdullah. Even with Lynch out and Jackson questionable, there is still no guarantee that Rawls, or any other Seahawk will get consistently targeted. Darrell Bevell is a psychopath

E: my advice applies to the above poster as well. Any Seahawk is a gamble (except Hauschka)

I don't like the matchup either but I'd probably go with Murray over Hillman just because we know he's definitely the guy.

I have the same decision and feel pretty solidly Hillman. If he gets half or more the work for Denver he should be better than cooks unless cooks breaks out this week. I watched that last NO game and felt like I had the 3rd stringer on a meh offense. Feels to me like Hillman scores more points like 60-70% chance. I'm assuming the "cooks is a stud" dream is dead until he proves otherwise.

I'd probably go Tate primarily because all signs point to Boom outperforming Boobie and Boobie is historically only good for about 0.5 YPC anyway.
