Don't sit your studs.

Until they are no longer studs. Glad to clarify that for you.

:thurman: posted:

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so.
2) Note your scoring settings. Is it PPR? Non-PPR? How many teams? Are there any wacky settings like counting return yards? Be brief but just specific enough for us to get the gist.
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.

Jerick Mckinnon @CAR


Most likely just waiting on Charles news, but if he does indeed play, makes it tricky.

Pick 2, 0 PPR standard scoring:

Maclin NYJ
Mike Wallace @Jax
Lockett SF
Sanu @NO
T Williams @IND
Enunwa @KC

I'm leaning towards Maclin + one of Wallace or Enunwa. I feel like something's gotta give with the jets though, they got 4 guys getting tons of touches and it's unlikely to continue. So Maclin + Wallace?

We have no idea how Edelman would do with Brissett, Tyrell may be the safer option atm.

I feel like this is kind of a softball question since I feel good about this lineup, but:

(Non-PPR)

My current lineup for this week is:
RB: Gurley
RB: Lacy
WR/RB: Snead
WR: Cooks
WR: Benjamin
FLEX: Diggs

My bench is currently:
Edelman
Latavius
Foster
Jennings
Riddick
Coleman
Sims

My question is:
As you can see, I have a WR in every spot I can cram one in the lineup. Should I swap out the Flex and RB/WR for one of the RBs on the bench? In fact, should I swap out Lacy or even Gurley for one of the RBs on the bench?

Wildcard: Should I play Edelman for the bonus QB points?!

Should drop any for Asiata in .5 ppr?:

AP (not on IR yet)
Barnidge
Josh Gordon
Spencer Ware (I own Charles)

Dwayne Washington (DET)

This would be solely for depth. My starters are:

With the first team, my only question would be about Coleman. Saints are a sieve but he won't get all the work. Hilton and Riddick have pretty good situations this week with less competition for use. Fuller could be big too if the game plan is to take out Hopkins. But that could mean that Hopkins draws Logan Ryan and a safety and Butler is on Fuller.

Second team I might try to get away from Mike Wallace, but this could just be muscle memory from lovely FF teams in the past talking.

Second team I might try to get away from Mike Wallace, but this could just be muscle memory from lovely FF teams in the past talking.

My thought process was about how many points the Saints have given up against running backs which is laughably huge with Coleman getting more and more work going forward combined with Hilton underperforming (edit: and this Hilton could draw elite cover corner Jason Verrett throughout the game on Sunday, especially if Donte Moncrief is sidelined). and injured and Riddick going against GB defense. I have this feeling that the Pats will get into Brock's head but yeah I've had Fuller in and out.

As far as Mike Wallace I'm not really a believer but against Jacksonville I am thinking we will see gently caress It Flacco.

I'm with you on Verrett. He's legit. Upside on Hilton is that he might just get tons of targets.

Fuller could be a sneaky play though. Pats offense might not be on the field much. If the defense gets gassed Miller could get going and it might open up passing.

Here's my big dumb team. What am I doing wrong?

WR1: Robinson
WR2: Hilton

RB1: Miller
RB2: McKinnon

W/T: Cobb
W/R: T. Coleman

Bench RB:
Langford
Gore
Morris
Drake

Bench WR:
Shepard
Cruz
Agholor

I sorta want to get one of the Giants recievers in there but now I can't choose. Do I sit Hilton for Cobb and play Shepard and Cruz? That seems stupid.

I'd bench McKinnon going up against Carolina D-Line with a lovely line. Put Gore in there instead. Only thing I might consider would be to bench Coleman and put Cruz in there. Definitely leave Cobb and Hilton in.

Hedging my bets. I'm going to start Fuller in place of Sims as my flex but leave the other team as is. I want to see Sims do something and also get more carries than Jaquizz before starting him anyway.

Ingram for sure. Murray has pretty handily outperformed Jennings this year, I assume you're leaning Jennings as a matchup thing? I'd probably still lean Murray but it wouldn't be dumb to play the matchup as well.

I've been higher than most on Matthews since before the draft, so take my opinion with that in mind, but I'd probably roll Matthews.
