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?

I personally don't see the Atlanta/Dallas game being anything but very close to be honest. Gordon looked really good last week.

Set my lineup for me. I am unsure about Evans still, so I don't know if I want to start him; he burned me bad last week.

0.5ppr, 1 Flex

Starting: Mariota, Leveon Bell, Forsett, Cobb, Hopkins, Bennett, Matt Jones, Crosby, SEA.

Bench: Bradford, Mike Evans, Stevie Johnson, Rishard MAtthews, Matt Jones, Foster, Ameer Abdullah.

Also, I just picked up Rishard and Matt Jones off the WW. But still available are: Crabtree, Ebron, Dunbar, Crowell, David Johnson, Tyrod Taylor, Dalton, Tannehill, Carr, Winston, Bridgewater.

Based on my team, should I pick up one of them?

Yes but he's the pick if he's a full go, and so far the reports look good. I think James Jones benefited primarily from Adams leaving the game. It's really a coinflip between VJax and Adams, so its a good problem to have.

I think this week could be the final opportunity for CJA to separate from Hillman, while healthy, while Peyton get's his way in returning to the shotgun. If CJA doesn't impress this week, then I would feel a whole lot better of sitting him out moving forward.

This is my thought as well. I've got CJA in two leagues (so maybe nobody should listen to me) and am running him out in both this week as confidently as possible for someone that has looked as bad as he has. If he bombs again, that's when the real concern and benching will happen.

FWIW, I think there's very little separation in your options. I'd definitely give Murray a shot this week ahead of CJA, personally. Freeman is nothing more than mediocre, so even with the backfield to himself, I would honestly probably gamble on Jones gashing NYG and getting at least 40% of the carries plus the passing work. But there's no right answer here, so I'd go with your gut.

I can't argue with that. You've got some fantastic options to be fair, with Morris and Blount likely to have nice games too, but Woodhead is a good but for some rushing, receiving, and scoring, and is much more immune to game flow than those two.

That's actually a tough decision. I think Palmer is the safer player with Newton having more upside. It is quite possible that Newton runs all over the Saints, giving him a lot of potential but Palmer is in the much more solid offense.

Randle, Stewart, OBJ, then Evans as long as he's reportedly healthy (losing ASJ should bump his value up a bit), then probably Robinson. If Evans is limited or anything, Robinson and Stevie is good too. I'm personally avoiding Gore until I see him do anything, and I would wait to see if Jones can keep up decent usage before starting him over other good options.

I know they don't feel like studs now, but Miller and Forsett are the best options IMO. Too much uncertainty with David Johnson (he won't keep scoring a touchdown every time he touches the ball). However, that's assuming Miller is practicing fully in the next day or so. If he's still limited, I'd take Abdullah over a hobbled, underused Miller against Buffalo.

Hmm. Even in full PPR, I'd probably agree with you (as long as "Randal" is Joseph Randle, Dallas RB). Oakland might actually get a lead on Cleveland and focus more on rushing, Decker has a knee sprain, and I think Hill bounces back as the dominant RB on the Bengals.

Probably Freeman, as he's at least going to get a workload, which is not at all assured for either Gio or David Johnson. I wouldn't mind Gio over Freeman, though, if your gut says Gio. For flex, I'd probably prefer Garcon, as his team's WR1; VJax hasn't really benefited from having Evans out like he should have (7 catches in two games as the only credible WR?), and Wright is going to be boom/bust even against the Colts.

Latavius Murray is an obvious start but should I play Matt Jones tonight in case Ivory can't play this weekend (he has sat out training and played through an injury last week)? I can then Flex him if he does. I don't trust Blount to be used against Jacksonville, and Duke is obviously just a lotto ticket for now.

John Brown will be in the flex if Ivory doesn't suit up.

Both have been getting lots of targets (vereen had 8 catches Garcon 6) and are both likely to be used a lot - I'm guessing Vereen will be used more than Jennigs against Washington's run Defense, which looks solid. As it's a Thursday game and they'd usually go in your flex I'd choose based on what the rest of your team looks like.
