Leaning Charles, but the ankle thing combined with him having a pretty lackluster start of the season has me worried.

Murphy Brownback posted:

I know Brown is hated by people on this board, but you're not really being fair. The last 8 or so carries he got were in clock running out time, and the games before that he wasn't the starter so his ypc in the first two games are irrelevant. He didn't do great, sure, but he's playing against Jacksonville this week. If you would seriously start Bush over Brown, I think you're insane.

Also, lets say he does average 3 ypc, which is his best if we only go by those 3 games, which you'd expect him to do against a team as bad as jacksonville. Even if he doesn't score, if he gets 30 carries that is still 9 points in standard scoring. How can you not start that?

The only thing I'm not really being fair about is that he has played three of the top five ranked run defenses by y/g so far. He might get the volume, but I am just not impressed by a guy who produced 8.9 points on 36 touches, even against a solid run defense. I don't really think non-starter or clock killing touches mitigate low ypc; it's not like the Chargers didn't want yards from him in those situations. We're not talking about QB kneeldowns or something. I'd take Bush over Brown because Brown hasn't shown anything worth biting on this year while Bush is likely going to see touches outside to get something going against the Jets tough middle.

Miko: May 20, 2001; Where I come from, there's no such thing as kryptonite.

You're starting Brown because he's going to get volume, not because he's a good player. This gives you a consistent floor, which can save you from eating a bad game from guys who won't get the same number of looks.

Bush is running with Bell, who are facing the Jets monstrous front four. I take X player against the Jaguars easily.

Also, play Charles if he is active, in any form.

Pick 1:

Gore vs PHI

Taliaferro vs CAR

I am leaning Gore just because he should be getting the most carries, though Hyde has been more productive with what he gets. I am not sure how carries will be split in Baltimore.

I would stick with Gore. I think he will still out touch Hyde. I would stay far away from Baltimore's RBBC until we see how that is going to work out.

Justin Hunter (vs Ind) or Terrance Williams (vs NO) -- I think Terrance has the better matchup, but I can't help but feel Hunter is due to go boom this week

Cratbtree (vs Phi) or Asiata (vs Atl) (I feel silly asking this one, but it seems some people are really up on Asiata against Atlanta)

Pick 1 RB, 1 Flex:

Reggie Bush (vs NYJ)

Cecil Shorts (vs SD)

I'd go Boldin. I figure SF vs Philly will be a high scoring game.

I'd go Gore too. Taliaferro figures to be splitting time with both Pierce and Forsett.

Is Locker even starting this week? If he is there's no guarantee he finishes the game. Charlie Whitehurst is not a good quarterback. And the Dallas game could be a laffer.

What do you guys think?

I think it's anyone's guess as to how Bortles will play in his first start and who he will target the most. Carr targeted Jones a lot against the Pats even with Revis covering him so I see him getting a good amount of catches. Would probably go Jones.

Jones, I wouldn't trust any Jax player yet. Miami LB group is busted up and will be probably be exploited in coverage.

Last minute request for help:

Ivory's role may be set to expand, but Detroit has a strong run D. Doug Martin is Doug Martin.

I think I'm leaning toward Jones.

Edit: Texans' coach apparently just said that Foster will play tomorrow. So that plus the stories indicating Charles will play causing me to further push Jones onto my lineup.

I would roll go with Benjamin. It is a little more risky since he only has a 3 game sample size, but I feel like he has a higher ceiling. Stud receivers have to start somewhere, and he looks the part. Then again I might be biased since I have him in 3 out of 4 leagues.

Rorobb posted:

Standard scoring, who should I start in my flex:

-Golden Tate vs NYJ
-Jordan Matthews vs SF
-Alfred Blue vs HOU (if Foster's ruled out)

Leaning towards Tate against that Jets secondary but Matthews looked real good last week out of the slot and not all that impressed with SF's pass D either. Blue is kind of a wildcard but it's hard to turn down a starting RB for the flex spot over a couple risky wideouts.

Desperate bump

Matthews because Eagles defense sucks so the 49ers might look good and could keep it competitive. At the very least, it's going to be a high scoring game. If Foster is out, slot Blue if you feel more comfortable since RB floors are always safer.

I'm thinking Smith and Benjamin. Patterson has great potential but I'm a bit hesitant until I see the Bridgewater-Patterson rapport (and also until that offense gets its poo poo together in general).

This is basically what I came to, but I have this weird bad feeling about smith. Like, it's been preordained that he's going to wreck Carolina, so he might get bottled up while someone else runs rampant.

.1 point per yard. Already starting Julio Jones, but I need 2 more:

Mike Wallace vs. OAK
Randall Cobb vs CHI
Michael Crabtree vs PHI
DeAndre Hopkins vs. BUF

I'm leaning Cobb and Crabtree because they both play depleted/awful secondaries and Oakland has a quietly decent secondary (4th fewest passing yards allowed).
