I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
Ughhh ive got some coin flip decisions and could use a push in one way or another:

QB:
Brees vs. DET
OR
Bortles vs. ATL

RB, 1 PPR:
Tim Hightower vs. DET
OR
Charmander vs. BAL

I may be overthinking this, but I feel like Brees may put up a wet fart, even in the Superdome. Bort had been solid as hell and has a cake matchup.

Same on the RB front...Hightower got crazy volume last week but is still a mediocre player at best. If Ware doesn't go, I definitely go Charmander right?

Bortles for sure. Charmander if Ware is out and Hightower if he isn't.

8 team league with a group of friends, there are only 2-3 of us that actually watch the waiver wires unless someone else loses a player to injury and I've been watching them closely at the end of the season since I knew I was in the playoffs. I actually picked up McCoy after someone dropped him when he was injured (I did the same with Steve Smith too, unfortunately he was reinjured).

Lacy is Lacy, Hightower had one good week but isn't very good and who knows what the actual RB situation will look like in Carolina this week. Leaning Lacy and Brown at the moment.

Still unsure here. Also I'm currently starting Bort over Roethlisberger.

I changed my mind. Oakland can stuff the run, and quick KhAlil Mack pressure will prob make Rodgers rely on quick routes, which is Cobb.

But I do like them both. Sam Shields and Cooper may not be 100%, which should benefit Crabtree

Yeah, your only big decision is Lockett or cooks, and Brandin's been sOlid at home.

I love Powell in PPR, and Bryce Brown is going to be sharing the load with at least two other RBs

Not making my decision any easier!

I'm obviously delighted with Evans' production last night, though, so a whiff by one of my other players might be ok... but my opponent also got 17.5 from Mark Barron, so I don't have a comfortable lead or anything.

In my money league, I'm playing both Crabtree and Cobb so No deciding for me.
Cobb is the Pack's #1 WR, and top receivers torch Oakland, usually.

Here's my current lineup issues, .5 PPR

RB: Hill @ SF, West @ Bal
WR: OBJ v Car, Calvin @ NO
Flex: Baldwin v Cle, Martavis v Den

I'm sitting: Latavius Murray v GB, Bryce Brown v Cle, and Ted Ginn @ NYG.

Am I making the right move with the running backs? It would be stupid to sit OBJ or Martavis to try and get another RB in, right?

My third option is Maclin at the Ravens. I can't see sitting him, which is why I'm going back and forth about Cobb vs. Crabs. It's 0.5 PPR, if that makes a difference.

Need two WR, one RB, and one FLEX. I'm thinking:
WR:
Alshon Jeffery @MIN
A.J. Green @SF
Allen Robinson vs ATL (FLEX)

Dez Bryant vs NYJ
Martavis Bryant vs DEN

RB:
Todd Gurley vs TB (Already Played)
Devonta Freeman @JAX

Jeremy Hill @SF
Tim Hightower vs DET

Really not sure about Freeman though considering ATLs offense and JAX only allowing 1 TD to RBs over the last 5 games. SF has allowed 6 TD to RB over the last 4 games and Eifert is out meaning Hill might get more RZ carries.

McCarron and Eifert being out make Hill and interesting play, but having spent a season getting burned by Hill, avoid him. Roll with what you have.

Jeffery is absolutely worth owning, though idk about starting him over that bunch. Maybe over Robinson this week, and he has a great week 16 matchup.


E: I have another option for my team I'm mulling... Yahoo standard for QBs, I was debating Fitzpatrick and Tyrod, settled of Fitz vs. Dallas. But TJ Yates against Indianapolis also seems promising, and he's a FA. Houston QBs put up points, and I have Nuk Hopkins to stack points with. Any thoughts?

1 PPR and bonus for 40+ yard reception



Decker has been a pretty great WR2, but i am flush with WR2's. I am actually considering starting both Michael Floyd and John Brown, is this crazy? Or do i just stick with Decker and Floyd. There's no way i bench Alshon if he plays right?

Thing with Brown over Decker is Brown is more likely to get the 40+ reception bonus. I'm gonna need every point to win.

I'd go Latavius. I'm basing that on solely on consistency. Last week was his only bad week all year, and it was against Denver. I think he's got a safe 9 point floor with 20 point upside.

I've got a slight conundrum. I need to start two out of four of these WRs in full PPR.

Malcolm Floyd vs. Miami
Marvin Jones @ SF

Robert Woods @ Washington
Anquan Boldin vs. Cincy

I'm leaning toward playing Floyd with Stevie doubtful. He may not have as much big play potential, but he's got to get a ton of targets, right? Jones takes a hit with Dalton out, but it's still a nice matchup and he seemed to have a decent repertoire with McCarron. Woods and Boldin both seem more inconsistent and have tougher matches.

There is obviously a very high chance of me being wrong, but the matchup is great and the injury situation couldn't set up much better for a Hill game.

Sam shields is out which might mean they have to commit more bodies to defend the pass and open up space for Murray. Might be a Hill game in SF too. I like Murray.

I'd definitely see your conundrum. I'd still go with the best receiver on a good passing squad vs a second receiver on a okay-to-good squad. Crabtree hasn't been great lately without the TDs

Lacy definitely for me, and the flex decision is close. I don't like Allen at all really rushing against KC, but safer points certainly just because he's guaranteed touches and will catch some balls out of the backfield. Who is your starting TE?

My last decision, PPR:

McFadden vs. NYJ
Woodhead vs. MIA

More talented feature back in a horrible match up or the less talented guy splitting snaps in a great match up. Leaning McFadden now because Woodhead is so dependent upon those check downs.

^^That's a tough one. I've got to make a Woodhead decision myself and he's burned me the last half of the season since the collapse of the SD offense. I think I would go McFadden and hope he makes something happen.

1ppr, no bonuses
I'm starting Ivory tonight but need an rb2.
Powell, Woodhead, Bryce Brown or scoop Fozzy off the wire. I thought I had it figured out and sent a tweet to a "fantasy expert" for peace of mind confirmation and he told me to start Powell along with Ivory. Is starting 2 rbs from the same team basically giving away my championship hopes or is the matchup against Dallas that juicy that both guys are going to end up in the endzone for 12 to 20 fantasy points each?

Greg Olsen is my starting TE, otherwise it would be an easy enough decision, heh. I feel like any of them could have a monster game. Lacy seems to have the highest ceiling but Allen and Reed get so many touches/targets it's hard to bench them.

Decker has a higher upside and floor than Tate, though it's close. Charlie is likely back to a timeshare, away v BAL run D which is doing better than decent. Not loving with CIN's offense in a must-win situation, YMMV.
