Don't drop Matt Forte. Otherwise, I'll laugh at you.

I think Reid is going to take it easy with Charles for another week. He said something to that effect yesterday. I'd probably go Murray, Coleman, Ware, Cooks, and BMarsh.

Which QB to start (standard league, 0PPR):

Andrew Luck @ Tennessee

Derek Carr @ Jax


So this is my first year doing fantasy. Tennessee seems to have a respectable defense and I already own TY and Gore. If I started Luck, is that too many eggs in one basket?

Respectable run d and better than expected pass in Tennessee. Still not much to worry about though.

You could honestly flip a coin on these but I'm partial to Carr. Jacksonville is an all around trash fire.

GB's secondary may be awful, but that front seven is going to wreck Hoyer. And Rodgers will be throwing a ton, given that we have massive question marks at RB.

0.5 ppr. Bolded are my picks.

pick 2 - Jordan's had a good start but struggled last game and now he's got a tough match up. Leaning Crowell and Spencer for better match ups?
Isaiah Crowell @ cin
Spencer Ware vs NO

Jordan Howard @gb

pick 1 - Julius has been a let down so far. Should I ditch him? SF seems they can give up big points to TE's.
Cameron Brate @ SF
Julius Thomas vs OAK


pick 1 - Eli has been hurting me the first 5 weeks. Then I picked/started smith last week and that burned me. Should I get back on the OBJ hype train?
Eli Manning @ LA
Alex Smith vs NO

If my reasonings seem bad, it's because I've been bad.

Matt Jones @DET
Spencer Ware v NO
Lamar Miller @Den
Demaryius Thomas v Hou
BMarsh vs Bal
Cameron Meredith @GB


Currently leaning Matt Jones, but Ware has a tasty matchup. DSYS and all for Lamar, but Denver's Defense is scary. For the Flex I am not really sure, Ware (if I play Matt Jones) sounds good, Cameron Meredith seems pretty hot right now, but then two of my best WRs would be missing out and they have decent matchups (but bad qbs throwing to them).

M. Jones vWAS
J. Graham @ARI

C. Meredith @GB (thursday)
M. Wallace @NYJ (no flacco?)
J. Matthews vMIN (i hate you)
Q. Enunwa vBAL (no loving clue)

Playing this russian roulette every week is a goddamn nightmare. Marvin has not been great the last 3 weeks, Meredith seems legit but Thursday, gently caress Jordan Matthews, ARob has been meh but OAK can score and that game could be a shootout.

Bolded is the current starting 3.

I really like Alex Smith this week. I feel like he's going to get the ball to Kelce and Maclin more and there should be screens to Ware and Charles.

But with the injuries to Miami's defense, you have a good option in Tyrod too.

I think you could make a case for Meredith over Graham, but you probably shouldn't listen to me.

Yeah, I figure Tyrod is kind of a floor play and Smith would be a ceiling play. I'll keep an eye on it, I guess.

I have the problem where some of my starters have bad matchup and my bench players have good ones.

Full PPR, would you sub in any bench players?

WR - Jordy Nelson v CHI
WR - Jarvis Landry v BUF
RB - LeVeon Bell v NE
RB - Christine Michael @ARI
WRT - Marvin Jones v WAS

BN - Jerick McKinnon @PHI
BN - Terrance West @NYJ
BN - Spencer Ware v NO
BN - Cameron Meredith @GB
BN - Willie Snead @KC


Currently thinking of starting Spencer Ware over CMike due to Ware playing the Saints no defense team, also slightly thinking about maybe firing up Meredith over Jones facing Norman?

I have no loving clue and that's the exact argument I'm having in my head.

GB is missing their top 3 CBs. Even for a thursday I think it might be high scoring, Hoyer loves throwing the Meredith, but Alshon could blow up too. GB can stop the run so its goin gto be pass happy. Jones has been meh the last few weeks and will see Norman.

I am guessing Ware/Ajayi/Gillislee based on workload but its so weird to be benching Charles. Cant he be productive with a workload similar to last week?
