Can't believe I'm asking this but Big Ben vs DEN or Bort vs ATL? I've got Ben for week 16 against the ravens either way thankfully if I survive this week.

Standard scoring, nonPPR.

For my flex: Gore, Lockett ot Cooks?

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.

I'd go Cooks- Vegas has the total on that game at 51 and I think Cooks is probably good for a TD.

ESPN standard scoring, need 2 RBs of:

Ivory @ DAL
Gore vs. HOU
D. Robinson vs. ATL
D. Johnson @ PHI
Hightower vs. DET

Current thinking bolded.

I'm in the same position- Bortles seems (ugh) safer to me. Denver's only let a QB go over 20 twice this year. Meanwhile Blake Bortles leads the leagues in passing TDs. It's a strange, hosed up world we live in.

Yeah, I just can't talk myself into anything else. Johnson should eat tomorrow against the Eagles and Ivory has just been too solid all year to take the chance on anyone else. In my case it helps that I'm projected to win my matchup handily, but if Ivory shits the bed tonight, things are going to get very interesting tomorrow.

Bort is a much safer bet, and higher upside. The Falcons are falling apart, Denver's defense is going to limit scoring opportunities.

I need to pick a WR2 and a Flex:

RBs: Hightower, D. Robinson, Frank Gore, J. Stew, Gio, D. Woodhead
WRs: ODB, D. Baldwin, M. Bryant, J. Jones, R. Matthews

I'm leaning towards swapping Martavis Bryant out for Frank Gore because I'm afraid of the Broncos secondary, but Gore is just so lukewarm this season.

In that case I'd probably go Gore at flex, and Jones over Bryant. I think Bryant is going to have another week like last, if not worse, just because Denver will limit total passing yards.

Three questions (standard scoring):

Pick Three (2 WR/Flex):

Allen Robinson vs. ATL
Antonio Brown vs. DEN
Doug Baldwin vs. CLE
Sammy Watkins @ WAS

Pick One:
Bryce Brown vs. CLE
Buck Allen vs. KC
Matt Jones vs. BUF
Fozzy Whittaker @ NYG

(jesus christ, what a poo poo show)

Pick One:
Matt Stafford @ NO
Tyrod Taylor @ WAS

Currently leaning towards Robinson, Brown, Baldwin, Bryce and Stafford

I'm really struggling with decisions this week.

ESPN Standard Scoring, I'm the #1 seed (miraculously) but decimated by injury. This is the game to decide who goes to the Championship.

I can't decide which of these middling RBs to start, and whether or not to go Watson against DET or Barnidge against SEA with JFF throwing in his general direction.

Well, I drafted Charles/Forsett, but then chose the wrong KC handcuff and missed out on getting Ware/West. Then I used a steady stream of back-ups (Rawls, Karlos, Langford) to fart my way to an 11-2 record.

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

Can't decide between Tyler Lockett(vs. CLE), Bolden(vs. TEN) or Ted Ginn(@NYG) for my flex in a 0.5 PPR 6pTD league. I almost feel like Ginn is the more consistent guy, which sounds really weird.

Despair will never let you down.

.5 PPR, need one out of Devin Funchess (AT Giants), Bryce Brown, Christine Michael (both VS Browns), Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson (both AT Steelers). Tending towards Funchess, I guess? gently caress, I don't know. The Michael hiring has thrown my plans into complete disarray. EDIT: Oh right, I also have Spencer Ware (AT Ravens), but I can't imagine he'll be a big factor, but just enough to make Char owners despair.

I'd roll with Tate. He should be in for a good amount of catches against NO. Also, Ware is expected to play.

Ginn. I'm still punching myself over telling a friend in my league to pick him up because I figured I had enough depth at WR. Seems I only make good decisions when I make them for others.

I don't like any of those options, but I guess I'd go with Bryce Brown. Even when Michael has been claimed to be the "bellcow" this year he hasn't done poo poo. I think you're looking at very low floors, and not much higher ceilings for all those guys, so I don't know.

I'm still trying to decide in standard between Charmander West @ Baltimore and Hill @ SF for standard scoring in my RB position. Also Allen Hurns vs Atlanta should be started over D. Jackson vs Buffalo or Lafell vs Tennessee, right?

Yeah, my RB situation is a complete and utter mess, born from injuries and some unlucky grabs on the waiver wire. Thanks for allowing me to abdicate responsibility on this terrible decision I have to make. Also, I'd definitely start Hill. SF's run defense is a complete nightmare to the point where loving Cleveland ran all over them. My opponent is both starting Bernard and Hill and I'm scared.

I've picked up and dropped Ginn probably 3 times this year and I just dropped him again a couple weeks ago before he decided to go off and now I have to play against him this week. Figures. I just hope that the Carolina offense decides to stay away from him this week as they had in the earlier part of the season.

I like Watkins in this one but you're right it is hard to sit Thomas. I think you're likely to get about the same production from both but with Watkins I feel like there is more of a chance for a big play. Some crazy Sexy Rexy call to throw an 80 yard bomb on 3rd and 6 or something like that. I feel like the Broncos aren't taking a lot of chances with Osweiler.
