Lockett.

With Doug Baldwin gone and DK/Moore banged up, the potential target share week 1 is too good to not run.

I wouldn't blame you for playing it safe with Jacobs, though a potential RBBC situation limits upside. All the others are not in the conversation.

Sony, regardless of standard/PPR.

NE says Sony will get more targets, and PIT projects to give up tons of passes out of the backfield, so both James White and Sony are playable week 1 especially in PPR.

Regardless of your WRs, Singletary for your FLEX. More touches and targets, and less RBBC issues, and NYG defence is just awful.

10 man Yahoo, 1PPR

Who do you like to fill Tyreek's spot?

Hardman @ OAK
J Crowder v CLE
W Fuller V v JAX
MVS v MIN

I'm thinking Hardman is the play because of who he has throwing to him, and there is a huge potential for scoring there. Originally Crowder was my thought, but when Darnold went down with mono I struck that one.

What's the play here? 10 pts in this position isn't going to cut it against my opponent (who still has figured out he has Lamar Jackson on his bench), I need to go big.

Crowder could have a huge game in PPR scoring, if Bell is banged up and Sieman needs to checkdown a lot and won't air it out for Robby (edit: especially vs CLE's outside corners). It's probably your best diceroll of the bunch.

I am leaning McCoy but open to suggestion.

Chris Thompson is best this week, due to Guice out and PPR (edit: and gamescript of WAS being down so using their pass catching RB more often).

Singletary next due to bellcow potential.

They are all strong flex options, I question your entire roster if these are your only options, but anyways

McLaurin is unbenchable week 4.

Mecole is also a must-play as long as Mahomes is still chuckin it. Darius Slay also might not play due to injury/whining about zone coverage.

AFAIK Cleveland's good CBs are all still out, so Hollywood is a fine diceroll.

Aaron Jones has timeshare concerns now, along with Philly having decent run defence and also Thursday Night BS. Easy sit imo.

Mostly looking for safe high floor plays here.

DSYS Thielen is still safe floor. The Bears actually give up slightly worse than average fantasy points to WRs and have allowed 47 receptions (5th worst). Checkdowns and slants galore, exactly what Thielen provides. Consider the Bears will also be busy containing Dalvin.

And yet again McLaurin is basically unsittable this week.

Waller is the next safest play.

Allen Robinson Vs Min

For flex, include all the above and;
Peyton Barber @LAR
Gallman vs Wsh
Demarcus Robinson @ Det
Emmanuel Sanders vs Jax

Leaning Mike Williams (because Miami) and Tyrell Williams. Robinson is the best receiver on the team but Trubs is just garbage, and Minnesota has a solid D.

For flex, leaning Gallman for sheer volume.

Quick rundown:

Mike Williams has a bad back and missed practice today. Probably avoid at this point

Tyrell Williams: strongest play

John Ross: weaker play, has a high projection but goddamn does Dalton suck on the road

Allen Robinson: would have been your best play but yea Minnesota

Demarcus Robinson: just never not play a KC receiver unless Mahomes' arm falls off

Emmanuel Sanders: possible no Jalen Ramsay, but has an injured quad.

your RBs: trash

so it's Tyrell and Demarcus, then a coinflip between John Ross and Allen Robinson. I'd go Ross.
