Follow up: Is it worth going to waivers and stashing the Rams or Pats for later? If so, I'm willing to get rid of Witten or Boldin (I have Barnidge as TE and Hilton/Cobb/TBenj as WRs)

There literally has to be a better choice than Gabbert. Literally anybody.

The Rams are the 3rd highest scoring defense. If you're looking to upgrade to something stable rather than stream, it may be worthwhile to pick them up over the Falcons. I think the Falcons have a great match up, but the Rams should do fine against the Vikings and probably have a better back end to the season.

Stevie. Revis can play half a field or man on a receiver all game. If he's in man, he's gonna be on Robinson.

Nope! It's a twelve team league that heavily drafted QBs. I've been running with Bridgewater and Kaepernick as my only two because, literally, there is nobody else viable picking up.

Noted, thanks. It's a much smaller league, so I don't think anybody else will make a move on either StL or NE, but on the flip side that means I'd have to ditch a pretty high tier player just to stock a D/ST.

If you get negative points for sacks, I might consider leaving a QB slot empty rather than start Gabbert.

How did this happen to you? Did you draft Romo?

The Saints have the #9 rush defense and Tennesse's offense is a mess, stick with Gore and LaFell. Andrews is an extremely high risk for mediocre reward type situation.

No negative points for sacks, thankfully. And no Romo. QBs just went fast early on and I went heavier on position players since it's a 3-wideout league. I posted my drafts in the Rate Me thread.

Not sure what to do, Lacy has been disappointing. Blount has been a boom/bust, but I could see the Pats getting a big lead and then having Blount run all over Washington. Could play both, but I think I'm better of with Rishard in the flex.

Alright, after Hill's 50 yard stinker, I need a homerun in my Dynasty league. I'm going to post my starting WR, RB, TE, and 3 Flex spots, then the alternatives.

.5 ppr:

DThom @Ind
LMiller @Buf
Sefarian-Jenkins vs NYG (however he said he will play only at 100% and is still limited so I might have to play Julius Thomas while Kelce is on bye)
MEvans vs NYG
Hill vs Cle (played)
ARob @NYJ

Bench:
MartBryant vs Oak
LMurray @Pit
RishMatthews @Buf
CSims vs NYG
DAdams @Car
Matt Jones @NE

Comedy Options: Devin Funchess, Jerick McKinnon.

Anyway, before I was playing ARob for a decent floor option since his ceiling is capped this week by Revis. DThom and LMiller seem like must starts, especially given my alternatives (drat KC bye week!). So I am thinking of slotting in Marty over ARob for a higher ceiling, and I am debating if LMurray or Rishard would give me a better floor than Evans, but Evans faces a juicy matchup.

Am I over thinking things or is Marty and Murray legit flex options over my current starters?

Okay, I'm very new to this and I'm sure I've made some dumb decisions, but a couple of quick questions:

1ppr league

For QB I've got Andrew Luck or Blake Bortles (:() and could pick up Jameis Winston, but that's it. I'm leaning towards Bortles because Luck has been pretty bad and is against the Broncos, but someone more knowledgeable might have a better opinion.

For my flex I've got Jarvis Landry, but I'm also running Allen Robinson as WR2 and was thinking about using Landry there instead. Other flex options are Julius Thomas or Ryan Matthews, and I could conceivably grab Stevie Johnson or Antonio Andrews from FA. I'm also running Darren McFadden and Frank Gore as RBs and if there's a better option there please let me know.

I'm benching Luck for Mariota based on advice from this thread, and I imagine it would be a good idea to do the same for Bort.

MacheteZombie
Feb 4, 2007
Mariota has the best matchup of the three.

For Hobjim, I would also recommend Bortles over Luck, since his matchup edges Luck's by a hair. ARob will be extremely limited so it will fall on Hurns and Julius to help score Bortles points.

Winston is an interesting option this week. Playing a Giants def that just gave up 50 fantasy points to a very talented QB. Winston obviously won't hang up those kinds of numbers, but if he can connect with Evans this week (boy did they look bad together last week though) than he could get to 20+ points. JPP is also back this week, which could stutter the TB running game and provide opportunities for Winston to chuck it or make chunk plays with dump offs to Sims.

Thanks for the advice. Considering Robinson's going to be limited, would it be a good idea to flex Julius and run Landry as WR2, or should I mostly count out the Jags' passing game and run Winston as QB, put in Landry and flex someone else?

I'd play Landry over Arob, fwiw on my start/sit question up above I'm debating Martavis or Latavius over ARob this week. If you flex Jules would you be playing two TEs? (I rarely recommend that strategy).

Yeah, Greg Olsen is my main TE. I know running two isn't exactly an optimal strategy, but I don't have many decent options with DeAndre Hopkins and Justin Forsett on the bye. My options are Julius Thomas, Ryan Mathews, Stevie Johnson, Antonio Adams or I guess Tavon Austin.

I picked up Winston though, I'll give him a try.

Stevie might not be a bad play. I know most people are saying, "wait until we know how he'll be schemed in", but this week might be a huge week for him because no one, including the opposing defense will know for sure how the WR scheme will shake out. Tavon has an okay floor, not great, but a great ceiling. Julius has a good matchup with the key guy expected to cover him, Calvin Pryor, most likely sitting this week.

So it really comes down to how you feel about those three situations. I'm not big on Ryan or Antonio at the moment.

I'm leaning Stevie out of your three, but I wouldn't blame you for picking one of the other two.

Start Cooper and Sanders. Decker is a good pick up but I don't think I'd drop any of your current guys. Although if I had to pick one I'd go Cobb because he's been the most disappointing but he's also the one with the highest upside if he bounces back.

I'm not fearing a repeat of the Denver performance from Rodgers, but I can't help but see that San Francisco matchup and think about slotting in Ryan for Rodgers. I have a ton invested in the Falcons already this week though(Julio Jones, Freeman, ATL Defense). Ben feels like a lock with Bell out and Oakland being weak against the pass.

BONUS: I just dropped Antonio Gates for Jordan Reed in the same league back when Gates looked like he might be out multiple weeks. Now with Keenan Allen out and Gates apparently healthy enough, should I try to drop Reed to get Gates back?

First: I think you can't really go wrong here. Rodgers obviously has the toughest matchup, but he's also aaron rodgers so he has a solid floor and probably won't throw an interception.
Big Ben is up against a Raiders defense that actually isn't as bad as one might think, and he's coming off injury so he might be a little soft. But he's also got AB84 to throw to, and with Bell out, the team probably favors passing more than normal.
Matt Ryan is up against SF, whose defense is actually above average except that they spend the entire game on the field because SF cannot get first downs, let alone sustain drives, and Gabbert is not going to be an upgrade on Kaepernick.

I'd rank it Ryan, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, but not by a lot and if you have a three-sided coin you could flip, go for it.
