It's Tuesday, that's early enough to start thinking about next week.. Right???

RULES

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.
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.

Matt Jones vs NYG
Shane Vereen vs WAS



And pick 1 for a FLEX, 1PPR:

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

ESPN standard, I need a WR and a flex so pick 2:

J.Edelman vJAX
D.Woodhead @MIN
A.Jeffrey @SEA (assuming he plays now)
A.Morris @NYG
L.Blount vJAX

I had Romo go down and have a waiver claim out for Dalton so I'm looking for high floor guys at the moment. I'm also suffering through the CJ Anderon/Ronnie Hillman cold war, but I've managed to eek out 2-0 so I can't complain too much.

Yeah I'm kind of lost on streaming DST's right now too.
Even with Jax being decent I think NE is a good play, probably get a turnover or two and hold them to 17 points. Betting against Dallas this week might be a good idea as well. Other than that, I got nothing.

2 weeks ago looking at this i would have 99% thought i would go with only one of these and no contest. Now i'm seriously considering playing someone else at RB2 instead of Lamar Miller. If only Arian Foster wasn't destined for another week on my bench. :argh:

Lamar Miller vs Buf
Lance Dunbar vs ATL
Chris Johnson vs SF
Karlos Williams @ MIA


possibly Dunbar, unless Lesean Mccoy has a setback or something. But i keep feeling i am overthinking this and should be absolutely starting Miller.

Yeah, I think you don't have another option appealing enough to sit Miller. If it is 1 PPR, I could see going Dunbar, though, given the likely game flow and the fact that they'll likely be playing a conservative game from behind.

Im in the same boat in a .5PPR yahoo league. My instinct is that Jackson has the higher floor and Cooks has a higher ceiling... so it's just a matter of playing it safe vs taking a gamble.

Agree with your choices. Lewis is likely to take a backseat to Blount this week. Oakland looked surprisingly competent, so Cleveland could be playing from behind and not run too much.

Pick a WR2, .5ppr:

Stevie @ MIN
Evans @ HOU
Crabs @ CLE

I'm very risk-averse so I'm not thrilled about starting Evans until I see production. I really value consistency in my WR2 slot, and Stevie's the small-sample size epitome of that.

I'm also 0-2 in this league largely due to going up against high PA, my own team performs well in PF. (4rth place in each category, in a 10-teamer).

PPR league, need to pick a second WR and a Flex. I've got the following options, and currently slotted:

WRs
DeAndre Hopkins (WR1 selected)
Amari Cooper (WR2 selected)
Larry Fitzgerald (Flex selected)
Golden Tate
Steve Smith Sr.
Pierre Garcon
Stevie Johnson

RBs
Isaiah Crowell

Also, I'm trying to stream my DST and currently have the Colts, but the Panthers, Bengals, and Titans are all available on the WW. I was thinking of switching to the Panthers this week... any thoughts?

The colts have just about the worst defense in the league right now, no idea why you're streaming them. Both Panthers and Bengals would be much better bets.

NOLA is in trouble, and has a winged QB, so should be easy for Panthers to smother.

Boris Chen has Evans listed a tier above Stevie Johnson (4 vs. 5). I think that pick would be more boom / bust, so if you're more risk averse, I'd pick Stevie Johnson instead who's had two good weeks and is still ranked two tiers above Michael Crabtree.

Standard scoring, need a flex

Cooks @ Car
Yeldon @ NE
Matt Jones @ NYG (Thursday night. Would obviously slot him into a RB instead of flex if I pick him)
Kendall Wright vs IND

Don't like Cooks at all right now, plus Carolina is a bad matchup. I'm worried about Jacksonville getting blown out and Yeldon not getting much volume. Playing Matt Jones this week feels like point chasing though and I'm seriously prepared for disappointment. Actually starting Kendall Wright frightens me, but the matchup with that depleted Colts secondary is awfully tempting. I also suspect that Luck & Co. will bounce back and Mariota will have to air the ball out. Thoughts?

That was my leaning, but if Atlanta can get ahead of Dallas quick this week due to all their injuries Freeman might see a ton of volume with Coleman out. How much of Murray's crappy performance week 2 was Dallas D-Line compared to Philly O-Line?
