So, I know don't sit your studs. I'm not sure first half of the season Russell Wilson is a stud though. With a high ankle sprain that's some risky poo poo this week since a high ankle sprain is going to affect his stability and lateral quickness. Sure he's practicing, when you hurt the ligament between your fibula and tibia you can move forward fine but so much of Wilson's game is predicated on stability and it's not like he was lighting it up game one. So do I start Alex Smith or what? He has two linemen with high ankle sprains against a good Houston defensive line and is going to be running all over the place and likely playing from behind. Before you laugh at me, week 1 RW: 12 fantasy points. Week 1 AS: 29.9 fantasy points.

If you want a decent floor I'd go with Gordon. Higher potential ceiling with Thomas. I believe both games are at 4:25pm EST, so if your team is behind by a bunch and you need a hail mary go with Thomas. If it's close or you're ahead and want a safer play, go with Gordon.

Standard, should I start: Matt Ryan (@ Oakland), or Joe Flacco (@ Cleveland) Flacco is rated slighter higher on FantasyPros, but: My opponent also has Julio Jones, so starting Ryan could alleviate any success Julio has. Also, Oakland/Atlanta could be a shootout, whereas Cleveland is so bad that Baltimore could get up a couple scores and run to ball the rest of the game. Harbaugh was saying he wanted to establish the run more this week, and Baltimore is the king of winning games 13-7/6-8 minute drives.

I'm wary of DT this weekend, especially in your non-ppr league. That said, he is tied to with Floyd as your best second option. Start Gordon. Realtalk: I'm WR2ing Fitzgerald and flexing Demarco over DT. I think he decoys this weekend.

Tim Peters posted:Wow, thanks for the quick response! Ok so a few things: 1) They're probably calling you a taco because you traded away Dez for Edelman. I know week one he didn't do anything for you, but Dez is a stud and worth more than Edelman. This trade might work out for you around week five when Brady comes back, but it's still a bad trade for you. However, it's your first year. Everyone does dumb stuff. In the future wait a few weeks before trading away a player like Dez. 2) Even studs have down weeks. It happens, it's part of the thrill of fantasy football. In general, one week is a fluke, two is tough break and three weeks is a trend. Don't worry about one week. If they're still underperforming after week three or four, then you can start to be worried. 3) Your team looks great. Sit tight for a few weeks before making any big moves unless you lose a couple guys to season-ending injuries. That Dez trade definitely hurt you, but it might work out in your favor if Dak continues to be bad, and Edelman stays healthy. But for now just sit tight and start your studs. You should be just fine.

Sorry I worded it poorly, but I traded Edelman AWAY for Dez Bryant. (I may be playing with people worse than a newbie.) Thank you for the advice. It's just hard to stick to my guns. How can I play gurley when I doubt his offense can do absolutely anything?

Oh drat I totally misread that, my bad. Edelman for Dez is a great trade if you're getting Dez. Nice work! Edit: loving LOOOOL at your league calling you a taco when they give you Dez for Edelman straight up after the first week. That's hilarious. I bet you could fleece them on all sorts of low ball offers. You should see if the Gronk owner is willing to part with him, could probably get him for peanuts. Thankfully your Gurley problem isn't really a problem because you've got Deangelo Williams, Adrian Peterson, and CJ Anderson that you can swap in instead. In your position you can afford to play any of those other guys and take a wait-and-see approach on Gurley and the Rams. I have no doubt he'll be killing it soon enough but you've got good enough guys to play instead while the Rams figure out how to play football.

A bunch of articles are telling me to sit cobb this week, due to his past games against the Vikings. I watched him last week take a bunch of snaps in the backfield, so I thought I should keep him in for that potential. (I'm also a packers fan, so my judgement is cloudy) Should I stick fitzgerald in there instead (tampa bays defense looked pretty poor against the pass last week). Again, thank you for helping me out..I haven't really watched football other than my home team before, and its been a lot of fun so far!

No problem. Fantasy Football is what got me to actually care about and watch other teams. It's made the football season a lot more fun for me. Glad you're having fun - it's what fantasy football is all about (and also unending frustration, sadness, and months of disappointment!) Larry Fitz vs Cobb is a bit of a toss up in standard IMO. If he's healthy and good to go, I'd run with Larry Fitz, but Cobb is perfectly fine too. If you're a Packers fan and like Cobb more then go with him and enjoy watching him torch the Vikings on Sunday.

1 PPR Pick 2: Melvin Gordon vs Jax Carlos Hyde @ Car Isaiah Crowell vs Bal Pick 2: Demaryius Thomas vs Ind T.Y. Hilton @ Den Mike Wallace @ Cle Cole Beasley @ Was Sterling Shepard vs NO Obviousy don't sit your studs. I'm pretty sure Thomas and Hilton are going to be off the injury reports by Sunday but just in case one or both go down I think Wallace is the start right? He should burn Cleveland's crappy defense better than Beasley or Shepard in their matchups.

Cigar Aficionado posted:Standard, should I start: Ryan all the way. Inspector_666 posted:Non-PPR, pick two to SIT: Stud is relative to who would be replacing them. Murray and Gurley are the obvious starts. Coleman is a lock for the bench Woodhead might seem like a sure thing after last week, but I'm not so sure. No PPR badly hurts Woodhead, who might be a bit of a one-week-wonder in my eyes. The 16 carries and 89 yards he got last week would have been far and away season highs for him last year. I'm expecting he'll return to his <10 attempts for <50 yards from here on out. He's always good for 3-8 catches, and he broke 50 yards receiving 9 times last year. To make a long story short, I'd expect about 70 total yards and 50/50ish he scores a TD(he scored 9 TDs last year, but scored in only 4 games), which is not that different from what I would expect from Lacy and Jennings honestly. All that dumb poo poo said I'd probably start Woodhead anyway since he already broke out once and it doesn't seem likely that Jennings/Lacy is going to make you regret it. Flip a coin on the other two, but I'd probably start Jennings for matchup reasons. tl;dr - Bench Coleman and Lacy Doltos posted:1 PPR Hyde is a given, the other guys are basically the same player(non-pass-catching-guy in a RBBC). Browns might have more RB rushes than week 1 with an immobile QB if you want an excuse to start one guy over the other, or just flip a coin. Hilton for sure. Wallace is the choice for the situation you described. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Wallace wound up outscoring Thomas since the Broncos could just run the ball up the middle every play on the Colts and win by 100. I still would start Thomas though.

Fleener over Tamme is the overwhelming choice among the experts, so I'd probably lean that way, although I'd say Tamme is defensible because I'm generally allergic to guys getting hype because they're on new teams. Palmer/Stafford another coin flip to me, although in my own personal experience I've never had a good time starting Stafford. Octoduck posted:Non PPR. Start Blount or Lacy?
