No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
Holy poo poo. Derek Carr went off (I just traded him away) for 500 yards and 4 TDs and Amari got 171 of those.

I'm fine playing Tim Hightower in a standard league over Allen Robinson, right?

Anyone else spot-starting Kaep vs. NO this week? I could start Manning vs. PHI instead but I'm so annoyed with Eli at this point that I can't bring myself to do it.

This is in my dynasty league so waivers are picked clean.

.5 PPR, I'm starting Bell and Powell at RB, Crabtree and Evans at WR, and then for Flex I've got Maclin vs JAC, but I could sub in any of: Jalen Richard, Anquan Boldin, Mohamed Sanu, or Antonio Gates. Maclin hosed me every time I started him and then got good points every time I benched him so I'm really frustrated with him, but surely he'll get some points vs. JAC?

I would. Hell, I'd be close to dropping ARob at this point, so I'd probably start almost anyone over him.

e. I know he just put up 6/70/0 against the Titans, but the Chiefs are a better team, and ugh, it's been so unreliable. And that was on 15 targets! Bortles looks like garbage this year. Maybe trade ARob?

Don't drop Robinson. Someone out there will likely pay at least something for him, and who knows maybe Bort will unfuck his mechanics (LOL).

Miami D v. NYJ
San Diego D v. TEN

Have Miami now for Ftizpatrick pick potential. I guess it kinda looks like a decision between a sub-par defense against a bad qb or an average defense against an average (I think) offense?

You might have to sit and wait until tomorrow's injury reports to decide. Honestly, I'd rather have Gills and Henry over Hightower either way. Hell, your best bet would be to flip one or both of them to the lead back owners and get yourself a better flex option that way.

This is mainly to just cover my rear end for the bye week. I don't like the monday night question of whether McCoy plays or not, since he's practicing

This is what I'm rolling out with in standard scoring.

QB - Matt Ryan
RB - CMike
RB - Booker
WR - Jordy
WR - Evans

D/ST - Chiefs

If Ware ends up playing, who do I start him over? I'm leaning either CMike or Cooks. Do I consider playing Antone Smith tonight or am I high?

Also wondering about Antone Smith tonight. Between bye week hell, injuries and my team just being trash. Yahoo standard 0ppr pick one of:

Antone Smith v Atl
Gillisee @ Stl
Charmander West v Jax

The waiver options are even worse so I'm either going with Smith tonight or hoping one of Ware or McCoy doesn't go Sunday or Monday. Leaning Smith, Jacquizz manged to put up good numbers so if Antone is the one to get the carries he should be ok???

There's been no new buzz about Adrian Peterson coming back in time to be meaningful, has there? His last Rotoworld blurb is from like 6 weeks ago. Noticed someone added him today in one league, but she must have just had a bench spot to spare. (not a keeper league)

If Ware is out play Charmander. Oh, I misread your dilemma. I guess it's a coin toss.

I think Cooks has a higher ceiling against SF but lower floor than CMike as the lead back.

Go with Dak. It's the safer play. I can't see him busting while Mariota has potential to get you 5 points or 30+ points.

Probably Enunwa in 0 PPR? I actually really like Montgomery this week (if he can get healthy and play), but part of his appeal is the whole converted receiver thing which is devalued in 0 PPR. But he appears on track to be their starting (and really only living) RB this week which is pretty valuable.

12 man, 1ppr. I can start 1 wr and a flex. Which two do you start? Playing first place team and #1PS in the league. I am #2PS. Bad week for Gronk to be on a bye :(

Michael Crabtree
Michael Thomas

Corey Coleman
DeVante Adams
Mike Gillislee
CJ Prosise

Bolded is how my lineup currently looks. Part of me wants to bench Crabtree because of the matchup, but he is a ppr superstar and my opponent has Carr anyway, so hopefully they offset. Give me your goon wisdom!

Go Kaepernick. Playing a soft defense and has the advantage of not being Nick Foles. The Foles is fool's gold.
