Was tempted to title this thread as Week 6

Sit/Start Thread Codex:

1. DON'T SIT YOUR STUDS!! Unless it's Thursday Night. Then maybe sit them. Maybe.
2. Note your league's scoring: PPR? 4 or 6 pt TDs? ESPN vs. Yahoo? etc.
3. Keep it short.
4. Try to answer other people's questions. That way everyone gets some feedback.
5. Don't believe the hype.


edit: I'll start:
Yahoo .5PPR 6PTD
Help me pick 3 for 2WR & 1FLEX: (current picks in bold)
Cooper vs NYJ
Diggs @ CHI

K Wright @ HOU
Mike Evans @ ATL (this dude seriously needs a cool nickname or something)

The rest have bad matchups and mariota just got hurt.

I made a bunch of changes recently and have no idea who to start at WR. I also dont know if I should start West or Stewart or both since IND and DET are lousy. Def playing Ivory.

Yahoo, PPR, help me pick 2 flexes.

Charcandrick West vs. Det
Charles Sims @Atl
Kendall Wright @Hou
Mike Wallace @Chi

I've pretty much lost the faith with Kendall Wright, but Mariota should be back so he's a possibility. Wallace is mainly in the running because of his matchup, but I'm leaning heavily towards West and Sims, as nervous as West makes me.

West and Sims would be the correct picks in full PPR, and like you said, the only way I'd consider Wright is if I absolutely know Mariota is starting.



Do I start Luck @ Carolina or Brees at home against the Giants? Standard Yahoo except 6PPTD and no PPR. I really want to go with Luck, but he looked atrocious against the Saints D last week and the Panthers are likely to break him.

I would feel pretty good if I were you, except maybe play Edelman over Allen. Although, since it's Thursday, probably stick with Allen.

Ladies.
This is not a sit/start question, this is a trade/FA question. 0PPR.

I'm stacked at RB, but I have no TE. Our Foster owner has offered his backup TE (Rudoplph) for my Danny Woodhead; I will not do that. I have two options:

1) counteroffer my Woodhead for his Travis Kelce
2) pick up FA Delane Walker.

Kelce is better than Walker, but is he give-up-Woodhead better? My other RBs are Bell, Gurley, Forte, Hyde. I have no playable TE.

Sexy bad choices

PPR league, and I need to pick a second RB and a Flex from the following:

RBs
Jeremy Hill (RB1 currently selected)
Ameer Abdullah (RB2 currently selected)
Knile Davis
Antonio Andrews

WRs
Steve Smith Sr. (Flex currently selected)
Golden Tate
Amari Cooper

I'd want to put Cooper in as my flex but he's going to be on Revis Island this week?

No clue about the RB2... I don't have anyone really worth it here; the next best RBs on the WW are Khiry Robinson, Darren Sproles, Chris Polk, and Branden Oliver.

Help please?

Dang. I wouldn't otherwise say Kelce is worth Woodhead, but if you aren't going to be starting him, I'd try for Kelce and maybe a WR3.
e: Hell, with that RB corps, maybe try and turn one of your RB1's into Gronk+??

Answer to this is easily sit Peterson. He hasn't scored or ran for 100 yards in weeks.

Again a very likpatous story
NFL.com, standard scoring, no PPR.

I wouldn't be wrong in thinking Danny Amendola (vs Miami) is a much better choice than Carlos Hyde (@ St. Louis), right? I know Amendola will lose targets to Gronk/Edelman but Hyde is playing on a stress fracture and the 49ers are fairly garbage anyway so I don't like his prospects.

I'm also not too hyped about Hillman vs Green Bay but he's my only other RB so he's kind of in by default.

e: Also which would be the better defense to play this week: Atlanta Falcons (vs Tampa Bay) or the Tennessee Titans (@ Houston)?

Jets handily. And for what it's worth I traded away Woodie for Kelce early in the season in .5ppr, and don't regret the decision as Jordan Cameron was my best option.

Pick 2, .5 ppr:

JStew vs IND
Charmander vs DET
Dion vs MIA
DMC vs SEA

Let me tell you - it's taken an impressive amount of butt-sucking through the wire to build up this stable of RB2/flexxors.
leaning Charmander hard and Dion soft and could be persuaded by JStew/DMC in Dion's spot

Survey says?


I have no idea what to do with my guys. Right now I'm playing Miller over Ingram even though NYG has been getting run over the last couple games. And I'm a believer in the new Miami and NE giving up points to WR, but not sure if Edelman would be the surer bet this week, or even Maclin over Marshall since DET is giving up points to WR as well but he's coming off concussion. Or a WR in flex instead of a RB, so many drat options. I'll be second guessing myself till Sunday*

Yahoo no PPR league,

Should I play Travis Benjamin or Eddie Lacy in flex? Just picked Lacy up in a trade, point wise this season Benjamin has done more but I wonder if Lacy might blow up considering he had the bye week to rest up.

I could also bench Giovani Bernard so Lacy could be the RB2 but he's been so consistent I don't want to take him out.

Your team is stacked. Trade a RB + Rishard or James Jones for a stud Receiver. You should be able to get a stud for a low RB1 like Ingram + a WR2. If you can't find someone in to James Jones or Matthews trade Maclin. Assuming is brain still works he should be a high end RB2, you should be able to get a top 5 WR for RB8+WR15 pretty easily.

Also, start Maclin v Det over Matthews. If Maclin plays Det's D sucks and it could be high scoring so they'll have to throw to someone.

Got a big ol mess of choices in a Yahoo standard league.

I need 2 WRs, 2 RBs, and a flex out of these choices:

T.Y. Hilton @ CAR
Martavis Bryant v CIN
James Jones @ DEN
Golden Tate @ KC
Brandon LaFell v MIA
Michael Crabtree v NYJ

Lamar Miller @ NE
Danny Woodhead @ BAL
Eddie Lacy @ DEN

Right now I'm doing two things Yahoo's predictions really don't like: I'm starting Hilton, Bryant and James Jones as WRs (Yahoo seems to think Jones will have an awful week and really likes Crabtree), and I'm sitting Eddie Lacy (I do have James Starks also but I don't trust any of them). Never thought I would be purposely starting Danny Woodhead over Lacy but here we are.

I also managed to pick up Brandon McManus, who got dropped for his bye last week. He's the preferred choice at K over Matt Bryant going forward, right?

Hilton, Bryant, Woodhead. Yes keep the kicker going forward.

I don't know where you're getting Ben won't play because by all accounts he's gonna unless he gets shot or something. Tomlin has said it over and over. Ben is just being politically correct in saying he's questionable. He even had a full practice today.
