At this point in a standard ESPN league, do you just drop Lynch? I mean even if he does come back before week 17 surely he won't be a reliable start with a.) the injury and b.)Rawls performance meaning he'd steal a wealth of touches even if Lynch came back.

Oooooo this is an interesting one. Typically you never bench Brady, but he's going against the best defense in the league with an injured WR corps and Hoyer has the Saints. I'd probably roll with Hoyer. I'm starting Hoyer too. But if he blows it, I'm blaming you and coming for you, Chill Penguin.

I'd probably roll with Graham over Gillmore because the Ravens have Schaub as their QB.

He's having surgery so he won't be back for re-drafts. Drop him so some other sucker picks him up purely on name value.

Fair enough, although I'm pretty sure you're the dude I told to start Douggie Baldwin against Arizona. Regarding Gillmore, do you disagree with the sentiment going around that Schaub will be leaning heavily on him?

I just don't trust Schaub or anyone on that offense now. Do you need a home run or just some consistent points?

0 ppr, ESPN standard

QB:
Bortles
Romo
Hoyer (would need to snag him off the wire)

I am tempted by Hoyer, would likely drop J Matthews for him. Bortles has had a rough mid year and Romo is facing the Panthers. (If it helps I started with Luck and Stafford, both of whom are hanging out on the free agent wire now.)

WR2/ Flex:
James Jones
Amendola
Rishard Matthews
M. Bryant
Dez

Rawls
Gio Bernard
(Could swap a RB in for Frank Gore at RB too.)

I am leaning James Jones at wr2 because I am a Packers fan and that secondary looks weak. Amendola is rough with the rest of the Pats receiving core injured. Matthews is fine but it's not PPR and he has been disappointing. Dez has huge upside possibility but the Panthers D scares me. Bryant is great but second fiddle in that offense. Am I crazy to pick Jones even though he's not the lead WR in his offense? Would Dez or Bryant be better?

At flex I am leaning Rawls just because he has been running really well when he gets carries. Gio is pretty dependable, and I am tempted to pop him in at RB 2 in lieu of Frank Gore since Luck is out and the colts looked atrocious. I imagine J. Stewart will stay my RB 1. Are any of my WRs better plays? I don't imagine so but I am bad at this.

If it matters, I need to win to stay in playoff contention. I am in a three way tie for third in an eight team league (6-5), with playoffs starting week 14, so I need to win this week and next to cinch a berth, or put up crazy points to have a chance at the tie break. (I am behind the other two tied teams in points for)

Yeah, I need home runs all around. I'm in close contention with two other players for the 6th playoff spot, and they play each other this week so if I can win then I should be set. Our point totals are all very close, too.

I would probably do:

Romo
Rawls
Jstew
WR1 that you didn't disclose?
Dez Bryant
Martavis Bryant

Dez recently got Romo back and if you don't know this, Dez Bryant is a loving god. Martavis Bryant is also really good, has Downtown Tony Brown to draw attention from secondaries and has Big Ben back. Rawls is your actual RB1 now, I'd say. He's a good player on a good running team. As far as the QB thing goes, Bortles is okay but I wouldn't ever start him over Tony Romo who just put up good numbers in really bad weather after not playing for two months. Hoyer could outperform Romo just by virtue of Deandre Hopkins The God but I think you have a safer floor with Romo and the Romo > Dez thing will help you out too.

Thanks. My WR1 is Odell Beckham Jr. And you think the Panthers will let Dez/Romo put up a bunch of points? That's just what makes me nervous about either of those two.

Well, this past weekend my RB corps went from one of the strongest in my league to the worst. With Charcandrick West questionable, would it be better to start

PPR 6PPTD
Jeremy Langford @ GB or Theo Riddick vs. PHI?

I got burned last week from Lynch not playing and I can't afford a goose egg if I want to clinch a playoff spot, so I'd imagine that Riddick is the best option since there's no guarantee that Langford will get enough reps to make it worthwhile to play him. Other RBs are Latavius Murray, West, and Lynch.

Lynch is droppable, so go find a lottery ticket or see if Spencer Ware is available. Otherwise Riddick.

It's really a toss up. If you're high on Hoyer go for it, but remember that NO is coming off a bye and there's a lot of uncertainty there. I would prefer Ben based on weapons and floor.
