Yeah standard. with Jones being WR1 in theory, could be big. Hows the colts secondary?

ares: Feb 5, 2004; i'm here for the gangbang

Thanks everyone for the help last year. Looking for your opinion in a full PPR, 6pt tds, 5pt bonus at 100 yards, 12 team dynasty league. I need to start one RB and one WR/RB flex.

Hyde (v LA)
M. Floyd (v NE) [these two currently slotted in]
J. Langford (v Hou)
D. Murray (v Min)
Crabtree (v NO)
E. Sanders (v Car)

Any thoughts?

Miko: May 20, 2001; Where I come from, there's no such thing as kryptonite.

I think I go Murray and Crabs. Murray is the Titans starter atm, and Langford is up against a tough HOU front. Also, Sanders has a rookie QB to work with, while Crabtree has a NO secondary to work against.

0.5PPR

Langford @ HOU
Jennings @ DAL

Doug Baldwin vs MIA

Xegaus: Sep 27, 2006; King of nothing!

Standard 12 team league with where I don't have to start a tight end. Got Charles and don't have Ware so I have a spot open. I currently have starting...

Starting :

RB:Lamar Miller RB v CHI
RB:Ryan Mathews RB v Cleveland
WR:Mike Evans @ ATL
WR:Brandon Marshall v CIN
Flex/TE:Coby Fleener v OAK

Bench:

RB: Ameer Abdullah @IND
RB: Isaiah Crowell @PHI
WR:Julian Edelman @ARI
WR:Michael Floyd v NE
WR:Jarvis Landry @SEA

My question is should I stay with Mathews as my second RB? Or should I go with Abullah? Also I feel pretty good about my starting WRs, But should I slot in someone else in Fleeners spot or am I good there?

# ? Sep 8, 2016 19:10

Q_res: Oct 29, 2005; We're fucking built for this shit!

10 team, No PPR

Not sure who to go with at TE or WR. Fairly sure I'm on the right track with my Flex. Obviously not touching my starting QB or RBs.

or

Crabtree has the higher floor and is the safer pick. Marvin Jones has the higher ceiling. I don't think you can make a bad pick here but I would lean Crabtree until I see how Marvin Jones looks in the new offense.

I like Doug Baldwin vs. MIA personally because Miami has a pbad secondary. Jones would be my second pick but he carries risk since its a new team new offense, even though he is certainly talented.

I would definitely keep Mathews in over Abdullah. Mathews is actually a good runner despite being fragile and Abdullah hasn't shown enough yet. I would probably go Michael Floyd over Fleener for the flex spot.

Probably can flip a coin on the TE situation. I think Ebron has the better matchup but Gates is the better player. Flex Ware as long as JC is not going to play, otherwise I would flex Michael Floyd.

TommyGun85: Jun 5, 2013

need some QB help

I can start Dalton vs NYJ or I can pick up and start Osweiler against CHI.

Picking up Osweiler means dropping Dalton or one of my bench:

L. Fitz
V. Jackson
C. Sims
D. Washington
K. Stills
W. Fuller

Ok now for my question which I think I know the answer to for my flex position, 0.5PPR.

Kelvin Benjamin @ DEN
Marvin Jones @ IND

Leaning Jones here because I have been reading about KB's conditioning and that he may be on a snap count Week 1? And then just now I watched a video with someone saying that the conditioning thing is overblown and part of his recovery is getting back into football shape and he should be good Week 1.

Do not drop Andy Dalton for Brock Osweiler. W. Fuller is droppable, but I really don't think you are helping yourself by starting Osweiler over Dalton.

I think its a risky play to start a really young QB on a new team in a new offense in the 1st game of the season, even if the matchup looks good. I see where you are coming from though because not only does Osweiler have a tasty matchup, Dalton goes against a really good Jets D on the road. I just see the Texans leaning heavily on the run-game from the start.

Jones. A rusty Benjamin on a snap count against Denver is a hard pass for me.

One more question on receivers, pick 2 of these 3.

Marvin Jones
Doug Baldwin
Michael Floyd

I think Baldwin is a lock against MIA, but can't decide between Jones and Floyd.

Cigar Aficionado: Nov 1, 2004; "Patel"? Fuck you.

Do you have an Option C? Benjamin's on a snap count and may or may not be in game shape, while Funchess is still a mostly unknown quantity, and they're going against Denver's secondary. I'd take a hard pass on both guys this week.

Stand pat with what you have right now, but keep an eye on Ware and if JC is going to suit up. I would probably flex Murray in that case.
