Don't overthink week one. So much changes in the NFL between seasons and you drafted players where you drafted them for a reason. Don't overthink this.

That's a good bet on DJJ. The only player I would potentially start over him is Pierre Garcon in case the Vikings give Jimmy G Garcon instead of Goodwin. I would bet against that, given Jimmy G loves throwing to TEs, instead.

Stand pat. Don’t expect to be wowed by a SEA team with a still-poo poo oline and Legion of Who? That defense is going to see a lot of the field and little of it will be pretty.

Do I think the Niners are going to run or pass more against an unforgiving defense, or do I want to just avoid the situation altogether?

Mahomes is a threat to get 50 TDs, but could also get 60 INTs this season, I'd keep the Chargers.

Andy Dalton averaged 235 yards, 2.5 TDs and no picks in four games against bottom-ten defenses against QBs last year (which Indy is). He threw a pick every other game from week 2 - 17 after throwing 4 week one last year. His end of season stats are weird as hell because his first 2 games were poo poo. And he isn't on the Browns who might start an UDFA at LT.

Andy is gonna be good this week, folks.

I shoulda paid closer attention to matchups. I have a Dalton bias that prevents me from believing he’s ever worthy of a start.

It's really tough to say how Baldwin will do, and it's something I'm struggling with too. He's by his own admission not 100%, Denver is a tough place to play, and the Seahawks under Carroll typically stink in road openers. However, the Seattle O line has looked somewhat better, and without Graham and Richardson an even close to healthy Baldwin should get a ton of targets. Kinda goes down to how much the knee will affect him I'd say.

For your lineup I'd go with Baldwin over Shady, Buffalo is going to be horrid and they're on the road no less. Even with the risks Baldwin has a high enough upside to be worth it at the FLEX spot.

Anyway, my question:

ESPN standard, for my FLEX spot:

Nelson Agholor vs. Atlanta, or
Corey Davis at Miami?

I'm leaning Agholor, but Philly and Tennessee are such crapshoots on offense early this season. Jeffrey is out so Agholor should get more volume, but there is so much hype going David's way, and Miami should be atrocious this year.

Seconding the Baldwin recommendation, especially for a FLEX spot in .5PPR.

For your question...I'd go with Corey Davis. While I tried to target Agholor in both of my leagues, I just don't trust him Week 1 with Big Dick Nick throwing to him. Yes Jeffrey is out, and Mack Hollins is injured, but god drat...that offense looked bad in the pre-season.

My turn:

Standard league. Pick a TE and a FLEX.

Jordan Reed @ Ari
Evan Engram vs. Jax

Leaning Engram here.

Larry Fitz vs. Was
Manny Sanders vs. Sea
Carlos Hyde vs. Pit

I feel like I gotta go with Fitz here. If Bradford is healthy, he's going to hook Fitz up.

I've got Hogan on my bench and Baldwin and Marvin Jones as my WRs with Ajayi as my flex but difference being i'm in a 0PPR league. Didn't consider anything wrong with that until I saw this and now I'm trying not to tinker...

I feel like I gotta go with Fitz here. If Bradford is healthy, he's going to hook Fitz up.

I would strongly consider Sanders for that FLEX. He's apparently healthy again, and SEA is almost certainly without Earl Thomas and (update: Earl's back, so adjust accordingly) definitely without KJ Wright. Carroll's scheme has never been great against stuff over the middle of the field anyway, so a great slot guy like Sanders might feast.

But depending on how your opponent is Fitz is the more conservative option, since he's basically guaranteed volume and we don't know how Keenum will look.

Also for TE I'd go with Reed if he's healthy, Arizona lost Matthieu and that Jacksonville defense might literally kill Eli Manning.

I’d to Agholor. He’s WR1 while Alshon is out and as a fellow Gordon owner, I’m kicking the tires before putting him in my lineup.
