Crabtree @ Dallas
Colston @ Atlanta

Leaning towards Crabtree but really don't have a clue.

For TE
Rudolph @ St Louis
Miller vs Cleveland

Was leaning towards Miller.

I was planning on starting Gronk but now I'm getting nervous about him actually playing. When would they likely announce it?

The Patriots are always terrible with injury updates but I would start him and then double check right before kickoff.

Another TE question: (standard scoring) Kyle Rudolph vs. St Louis or Ladarius Green vs. Arizona (now that Gates is questionable with a hamstring injury)

You are my underwater, underwater friends!
Gronk made the team flight. That's as good an indicator as any that he'll start. Even if they manage his snaps, he'll still be a huge red zone target so start him without worry in all leagues.

I'd go Rudolph. Norv is reliable about using his TEs. I wouldn't want to find out Monday night that Gates is still playing.

Need to decide on a Flex option. Standard scoring.
Zach Ertz vs. JAC
Justin Hunter vs. KC

I'm leaning Hunter because I might need a home run here. I don't have a good idea what Ertz's upside is like in this first week.

Gore/Fitz or Gore/Mathews.. Dallas defense sucks and they should still feed Gore.

Ball/Bush is probably my choice there..but that's really a tough call. I think you have the WR's right.


I have a few choices to make

10 team - standard

Jay Cutler vs Buf or
Philip Rivers @ Ari

pick 1 Flex:
Pierre Garcon @ Hou
Mike Evans vs Car
Brandin Cooks @ Atl
Jordan Matthews vs Jac
Jeremy Hill @ Bal
Bishop Sankey @ KC

I want to start Cooks over Garcon, tell me that's dumb?

--------------------

10 team - standard

Nick Foles vs Jac
Jay Cutler vs Buf

pick 1 RB, 1 Flex:
DeMarco Murray vs SF
Joique Bell vs NYG
Rashad Jennings @ Det
Maurice Jones-Drew @ NYJ
Cordarrelle Patterson @ StL

--------------------

12 team - 1 PPR

pick 1 Flex:

Emmanuel Sanders vs Ind
Maurice Jones-Drew @ NYJ
Jonathan Dwyer vs SD (drat you Ellington)
Mark Ingram @ Atl

I would start Jennings over Bell in the second league. Don't start Cooks over Garcon. Cooks may very well hit this year, bu rookie WRs are dodgy.

With Ellington still uncertain, looking for a flex in a 0.5ppr league.

RB T. Gerhart @ PHI
RB S. Jackson vs NO

WR K. Wright @ KC

Any advice?

GF is asking for some advice if Andre Ellington ends up not playing this week. My thoughts are its between Moreno and Ridley, but I think Moreno will have a higher volume of carries. Lineup is listed below, I thought all of her other starters looked good.


QB Andrew Luck, Ind QB
RB Andre Ellington, Ari RB
RB C.J. Spiller, Buf RB
WR Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
WR Alshon Jeffery, Chi WR
TE Greg Olsen, Car TE
FLEX Doug Martin, TB RB
D/ST Chiefs D/ST D/ST
K Phil Dawson, SF K


BENCH

Julian Edelman, NE WR
Stevan Ridley, NE RB
Matt Ryan, Atl QB
Knowshon Moreno, Mia
Dwayne Bowe, KC WR SSPD
Mark Ingram, NO RB
Tavon Austin, StL WR

Think this got lost from earlier. Another option I thought would be for her to drop someone on her bench and pick up Jonathan Dwyer, which would give her more time to see if Ellington will be playing. Not sure who to drop but I think it would be between Tavon Austin and Mark Ingram.

I could see the argument for MJD as well. The Spiller situation needs clarity, which you won't get until after Week 1.

CJ Spiller will probably get the most production so I'd pick him too.

Pick my RB this week, I'm torn. I'm going to have to pick between these guys all season:

Darren Sproles vs. Jac
Lamar Miller vs. NE
Chris Ivory vs. Oak

AND MY SONG IS...
Does Vernon Davis or Jason Witten have a bigger game this week?

They play each other in Dallas. I'm arguing Dallas will have to throw a lot to have a chance. Friend is arguing that Dallas had the among the worst D of all time last year and any time SF is in the red zone they will go to Davis.

Note I don't own both these guys it just came up and I couldn't think of a better place to ask.

Note I don't own both these guys it just came up and I couldn't think of a better place to ask.

Crabtree is questionable for tomorrow. If he doesn't play, Davis gets more attention from kaep maybe. Also, Witten will face a good D while Davis faces a bad D.

On the other hand, if SF gets out ahead (and it should), they may lean more heavily on a running game, in which case Davis could wind up not doing much in the second half.

I'd call it a coin flip.

e. In an all-IDP league, I have Jon Beason (NYG - LB), who is listed as Questionable. It's likely he won't see a full workload in Monday night's game.

I could swap him for Kevin Minter (ARI - LB), who is also playing Monday night.

OR, I could move either of my LBs running in flex D slots - Lavonte David or Jerod Mayo - and then put LaRon Landry (IND - S) or Brandon Flowers (SD - CB) into one of the D slots.

I prefer to run LBs in general, but the scoring in this league is adjusted so that they're not that much better than other positions, hopefully.

So who do you like most? Jon Beason with a questionable injury, Kevin Minter, LaRon Landry, or Brandon Flowers?

Here's the scoring:
pre:
Defensive Players 	League Value 	Yahoo Default Value
Tackle Solo 		1.5 		1
Tackle Assist 		.75 		0.5
Sack 			3.5 		2
Interception 		5 		3

Fumble Recovery 	3.5 		2
Defensive Touchdown 	6 		-
Safety 			4 		2

Jennings and Hartline. I think Jennings will get more carries + be a factor in passing game. Hartline should find space with Revis focusing on Wallace.

ok, so for my money leauge 12 team, standard scoring:

I'm pretty happy with the lineup, but i keep flip flopping between my flex options. I have
Gerheart@ Philly
three down,volume RB against a bad defense. i think this is a + match up

or

Vereen@ Miami
I'm a miami fan, miami linebackers are rear end, the starting SS is suspened for roids, dion jordan is suspended for roids, and ellerbe was rulled out. the dolphins linebackers are pretty terrible, and vereen is a good receiving back. this is also + match up imo.

so goons what would you do?

I like my WR's, but a buddy suggested putting Decker @ Oak in bc hes a red zone target, and the raiders defense is bad. stay with roddy? or switch him out

Carlos Hyde

I'm considering running with both Spiller and FJax. Stupid?

No. Miller is likely a safer option, but Kelce has more upside.

Since Ellington is up in the air for Monday I'm currently starting:

RB - Stacy, Joique Bell
Flex - Donnie Avery

If Ellington turns out to be good to go for Monday, I should switch him out with Bell who also plays Monday, correct?

My other options besides Avery are Caldwell or Jacquizz Rodgers, should I be using Caldwell even though Avery the top WR with Bowe out for a game? Its a 18 team standard league.

Flex in a .5 ppr. would you sit K. Allen with Patrick Peterson covering for Joique Bell?
