A tale of two leagues (both half point):

TEAM 1
I basically need help picking 3 WRs, 2 RBs, and a flex. Asterisks are by the names of who I have in right now.

WRs
Brandin Cooks @CLE
AB vs NYJ*
Golladay vs PHI*
John Ross vs BUF*

RBs
Kamara vs SEA*
Breida vs PIT* (playing latest so currently in my flex)
James White vs NYJ*
Miles Sanders vs DET
Carlos Hyde @LAC
Darwin vs BAL

Currently projected to lose by like 18, lol. I have to start Ross over Cooks because (1) start the WR1 even if he’s going to draw Tre’Davious White and (2) fade Cooks on the road, especially against a defense who apparently plays receivers tough - right? Or should I flex Cooks and sit James White. ORRR is Hyde going to feast against the Chargers’ extremely poor run defense?


TEAM 2
WR3 and flex struggles will continue until morale improves:

WR
Christian Kirk vs CAR*
Mecole vs BAL
Devin Smith vs MIA

RB
Ingram vs KC*
Shady vs BAL*
Hyde @LAC*
David Montgomery @WAS
Darwin vs BAL

Currently projected to lose by a point and a half. Kirk’s been pretty consistent, but Mecole got a TD last week and Devin could get a crapload of work against lovely rear end Miami. On the RB front, I feel like Montgomery is most likely to get a lot of work (Washington and the titty kisser are both quite bad) but I keep thinking about last year when Washington’s run defense shut down Saquon. Am I overthinking things? Should I even be flexing a RB in the first place?

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.


TEAM 1: Cooks away is still gonna be a better bet than any of your other RBs

TEAM 2: Kirk vs CAR is fine, apparently having two good slot receivers can find success vs the Panthers scheme. Ingram and Hyde are fine, I'd personally avoid Montgomery's timeshare but I could see playing him in FLEX over Shady.

I’ve got Mack slotted in at the moment, and my RB depth is problematic. If he doesn’t suit up on Sunday, do I go with:

J. White v NYJ
J. Wilkins v ATL

I feel like White’s the safer bet, but Wilkins has the higher ceiling if Mack’s out.

Edit: Standard scoring

Marvin Jones vs PHI

Going Thompson assuming Mccoy is also out/limited, but it might just be wishful thinking...

I need some help with choosing a WR, RB, and a Flex. Full PPR.

WR: Mike Evans vs NYG, Tyler Boyd @ Buf, DK Metcalf vs NO, Scary Terry vs Chi

RB: Chris Carson vs NO, Aaron Jones vs Den, Mark Ingram @ KC


I've spent the first two weeks hating Evans again, but he is playing the Giants. Each week, he's been handily beat by my three bench WRs (my other starting WR is Hopkins) and Boyd is currently my flex. For my RBs, I'm starting Chubb as my RB1 with Carson as my RB 2. Right now, beyond my Hopkins/Chubb always-starters, I'm starting Evans, Carson, and Boyd. I feel like Carson has a good chance to do well against a Brees-less Saints, but Aaron Jones might be the focal point of the Packers like he was for last week's second half (on my bench). I'm disinclined to start Ingram because I feel like the game script against KC will lead to more passing than rushing. Do you agree, or are there compelling reasons that I'm on the wrong track?

1 PPR flex

ESPN says Thompson and he's been the best of the 3 so far, but he's facing Chicago.

FP says Waller closely followed by Sanders. Miles hasn't done much, so I'm thinking Waller.

I was a Roethlisberger victim, but I'm in good shape everywhere else so I need a high floor.

I'm currently starting Josh Allen vs. Cin but have Garoppolo vs. Pit on the bench.

I hope so after reading this I put DJ Moore back in the lineup

quote:

Can we trust any of this team's pass-catchers this week if Cam Newton is sidelined?

No doubt. Kyle Allen worked with the first-team receivers a lot in training camp and preseason games while Newton took time off to rest his surgically repaired shoulder. In fact, Allen's strong arm should make the speed of wide receivers Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore more dangerous, and since Newton didn't have a touchdown pass in his first two games, the bar is set low here. Newton attempted only one pass of more than 20 yards (a 26-yarder) in the opener and that was incomplete. The farthest of his passes in the second game was 38 yards, and it was underthrown. -- David Newton

I have multiple shares of Moore and Samuel and i couldn't be happier honestly. Watching Cam play the first 2 weeks was painful with him constantly overthrowing them both constantly, especially Samuel.

I wonder if it was playing with Kyle Allen that was the cause of all those training camp breakout news for Samuel.

Leaning slightly towards Ingram but I like his matchup!

Already asked this but my situation has changed a bit with Antonio Brown being thrown in a dumpster behind Gillette stadium.

Need 3 WRs. ESPN .5ppr This is technically 2 WRs and a flex but my RB options are dire enough to not even consider.

WR

Terry McLaurin v.CHI
Demarcus Robinson v.BAL

Robert Woods @CLE
John Ross @BUF
Phillip Dorsett v.NYJ
Mohamed Sanu @IND

Also worried about the weather situation in the KC/BAL game. Thing is, I think I need to play home run ball every week to go anywhere with this team. I'm down on Woods because Goff is all janky and weird now.

I would not start Demarcus Robinson in both of these situations. for the latter, Start Woods instead. I think LAR@Cle will be a close matchup with lots of opportunities for scoring and you don't have to worry about the weather.

How are you guys feeling about Mack this week? His workload will depend on how his calf feels and I'm thinking I should look else where this week. Lindsay and Jones don't exactly have ideal matchups though, facing each other.

I have Kamara, Mack, Lindsay, and Aaron Jones as well. Which two would you start in PPR?

update: didn't see this post before the game started, left Minshew in, am currently very happy.

All hail the Stache, my friends



Mixon (he's gotta get better eventually, right?)
McLaurin (he's the #1 option, the chiefs have enough players on that offense that DMR is a much higher risk play)

thanks for this - the issue with mixon is that yes, i believe he should be getting better, but the # touches per game has been bad (i know they fell behind and gave up the run game) but hyde is at least getting high double digit carries (through two weeks i know, i know).

also my opponent this week has a monster game / line up and i need to go big... that's why i figured robinson would be - could be - a very high scoring game but you're prolly right. better to go with the #1 option vs. a boom / bust week to week situation. here's a second thought: would playing hyde be better than both robinson and mclaurin? or is that just wishful thinking?

if you are really looking for the big point play keep robinson in, Hyde is probably a safe 8 points in standard, but i don't see him picking up a TD on a team with DeAndre Hopkins and Deshawn Watson, especially having to share some touches with Duke Johnson.

i wish i could recommend Scary Terry but honestly i worry that Case Keenum is going to be eaten alive by Mack and the Bears D.

Mack is a great play week to week, and I don't think Atlanta is that good. If TY is down the Indy offense may be pretty limited though. Aaron Jones has a tough matchup with the Broncos D but his backup is injured so he'll get a ton of volume. So maybe Jones if you're not feeling Mack, but absolutely not Lindsay when he's in a timeshare with Freeman against a very solid Packers D.
