Chiefs defense or Vikings?

I'd roll with the Vikings on the assumption that Luck is going to get sacked left and right.

RCarr posted:

I need QB advice. Standard scoring.

Current starter:

Mariota @ KC

On the bench:

Kaepernick @ ATL

Available free agents:

Winston @ DAL
Palmer vs NO
Flacco vs PHI

My gut says stick with Mariota, but the experts/rankings say otherwise. Thoughts?

I don't particularly like Mariota; KC is known for forcing turnovers and I think they know they need to win. I think I'd go with Flacco in your situation as well. It's clear that Baltimore is going pass-heavy and even if they're ahead I suspect they'll keep passing.

I say Brees. Better history.

Vargo posted:

Standard scoring, basically everyone's got a case for my FLEX position, help me rank these options:

Tyreek Hill vs TEN
Kenneth Dixon vs. PHI
JJ Nelson vs. NO
Kenneth Farrow vs. OAK

(Starting Tyrell Williams in my WR2 slot if it makes a difference)

Bumping this, also conflicted about maybe putting Dixon or Farrow in for Powell if Matt Forte plays?

This is rough. I would start Hill. Even if Forte pleays I would start Powell; the Jets have nothing to play for and making Forte's injury worse would be idiotic.

4 point passing TD.

Cam Newton @WAS (Monday)
Dak Prescott vs TB

Also on waivers:
RGIII @Buf
Eli Manning vs Det
Trevor Siemian vs NE
Alex Smith vs Ten
Blake Bortles @Hou
Joe Flacco vs Phi
Sam Bradford vs Ind

Not sure what to do here. Washington is a pretty soft target (which sucks to see as a fan), but Newton is hurt and frankly has nothing more to play for. Prescott would make a lot of sense except that TB has been incredibly tough over the last five games.

Maybe I just need to embrace that Newton will score double digits like has always does and not worry too much about the ceiling. OTOH Flacco has been passing a LOT over the last two games and faces a pretty soft opponent in Philadelphia.

gently caress.

Veritek83: Jul 7, 2008; The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.

I think Norman is likely to play hard on Monday and (hopefully) some of that rubs off on the rest of the defense. I could see Cam getting pulled after he gets hit hard a couple of times.

Flacco vs. Philly is intriguing given the way he's been playing lately but I imagine the weather is going to be a factor tomorrow (rain, I think?).

I have a lot of choices this week .5 PPR 4 pt pass TD.

QB:
Rivers vs OAK
Winston @ Dallas

TE:
Brate @ DAL
Ertz @ BAL

WR (choose two):
Tyreek HIll vs TEN
Jamison Crowder vs CAR

The WRs are driving me crazy.

^Butter I would go Winston over Rivers at this point to be honest, but otherwise your choices are solid!

i'm indecisive af, someone help me please.

Full PPR here, W/T and W/R spot to fill.

Options are (current two at the top)

Demaryius Thomas vs NE
Spencer Ware vs Ten

or

Alshon Jeffery vs GB
Steve Smith vs PHI
Tyrell Williams vs Oakland

Kenneth Farow vs Oakland
Jerick McKinon vs Ind

Separate league (also full ppr) where I have a WR and WRT spot:

DT vs NE
Sammy Watkins vs Cle

or

Jordan Howard vs GB
Godlen Tate AT NYG
Terrelle Pryor at Buf

My current starters are really banking on the idea that last week was a fluke for Ware, but a sign of thing sto come for DT and Watkins. I've already started Jimmy Graham and Jay Ayajai so I'm needing some big, high ceiling type options here!

Well, its been a long rear end year, and I still don't feel in sync with my dynasty team. Help me set this roster please:

PPR: .5 for WR, .75 for RB, 1 pt TE.

Must start 1: QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DEF. 3 Flex Spots

I'm not sure which QB to play, which Def to play, and if I should swap out Ware, Miller, or Latavius for WRs. I'm tempted to roll out JJ Nelson, Thielen or TyMo (curse him being wr instead of rb!!)

Any thoughts on my Qb, Def, or flex spots?

I think Carr is the better play at QB, but Ben isn't a bad start in a vacuum either.

You have so many options for a flex might as well roll a d10. I would at least consider Farrow, JJ Nelson, and Montgomery.....hell even Williams. I guess Ware is the weakest play you have? Maybe DT who has not shown well against the Pats? None of your starts are stand-out bad to me.

NYG at home is fine.

Yeah I have too many flex options. I'm really debating benching ware and dthom for tymo and either tyrell or jj. Not sure if I am over thinking things though.

SurgicalOntologist: Jun 17, 2004

Are people starting Jordan Reed? It looks like he'll play but it's not confirmed. And Vernon Davis is not available, so if he sits tomorrow I'm boned.

My other option is Ladarius Green.

Edit: Also PPR I have a big choice for my flex.
Hightower @ ARI
Charles Sims @ DAL
Dwayne Washington @ NYG
Cole Beasley vs. TB
Cameron Meredith vs GB
Jason Witten vs TB

Strongly considering Dwayne and Beasley over Meredith.

If Reed is healthy, I think you have to start him. He also definitely has the better matchup. He's practiced increasingly over the last two days, so I'd expect him to play. Is *gulp* Davis available just in case? Because at this point I'd think I might want to grab him, possibly over Brate, as an insurance policy
