Time for the "extremely weird" lineup decisions.

2/2/1, no PPR, keeper league where I kept Le'Veon Bell really cheaply. Have Bell and Gurley; need someone to fill that RB2 slot while they're out. This week's choices:

Tre Mason vSEA (if he plays)
David Johnson @NO
Terrance West vTEN
Ronnie Hillman vBAL

Roughly leaning that order, although I'm concerned that Mason isn't practicing.

Decision 2: 2/3/2 flex dynasty league, 0.5 PPR, 1 point rushing FD / 0.5 point receiving FD.

I have a really young team with some future studs who are injured, like Gurley and Kevin White. I have one more flex spot to fill:

DeVante Parker @WAS
Lance Dunbar vNYG
Eric Ebron @SD

I like Parker a lot, but I'm concerned he will see limited time in early games. Dunbar seems to have a higher floor, but I'm not sure what my goal is here (I'm already favored, since I'm playing the only team even more handicapped by going young than me). I have other players, in case someone would seriously consider Marqise Lee or Zach Zenner, for example, over the guys listed.

non ppr pick 1

alfred blue vs kc
melvin gordon vs detroit
deangelo williams @ new england
darren mcfadden vs nyg
danny woodhead vs detroit

Gordon

I might be in the minority here, but I'd go with Blue.

DMC and Woody won't touch it enough. Want to see Gordon once before I start him, and Pittsburgh will throw 100 times.

BTW, worst week 1 OP.

? didn't realize sit start threads needed some elaborate OP....

what on earth would u be expecting in a sit start thread?

I probably swap Hillman and West in the 1st bunch. Hillman has played really well and is probably the 1st one off the bench for relief duty. Tenn has Antonio Andrews who is a top candidate for this year's "Tolbert vulture your goal line carries" guy. West may move to that role later or take the job completely but I don't think in the 1st week.

I'm worried about Parker's pitch count early on. I probably plug my nose and insert Ebron on the off chance he catches a couple of balls for a 1st down.
Tough one though because the plays that Parker is in on they are probably going to want to go to him...

Yeah nath that one is also tough

I probably go hillman in the first bunch? If tre mason actually plays then I'd go him but if not I'd stick hillman in. David Johnson is 3rd in depth right now so i have difficulty putting him in

I'd probably start Parker. I think he will get limited reps too but Washington sucks. Think he still has some td equity given his size alone plus the fact that it's lol Washington.

pick 2 (rb/wr and wr slots), non ppr

amendola vs pit
quick vs sea
agholor @ atl (I'm a falcons fan so would rather not this one but if blatant then i will)
wheaton @ ne
bolden vs pit
parker @ was

yeah i know these guys are lol bottom barrel but it's a 14 team league with OP slot and my other starters are Brady, Brees, Gronk and CJ Anderson (and Desean Jackson fart)

Standard non ppr, pick one RB and one flex:
Melvin Gordon(vs Det)
TJ Yeldon(vs Car)
Allen Robinson(vs Car)
Markus Wheaton(@NE)
Boldin (vs Min)

Leaning towards starting Gordon and A-Rob but am I crazy for thinking about starting Wheaton? I'm expecting Ben to throw a lot and Belichick usually tries to take a way opponents best weapon. Also NE secondary kinda sucks now.

Also need to make room for a kicker. Who to drop between Blount, Boldin, Funchess, Wheaton and Hillman (I have CJA fwiw)?

Mason and Parker seem simple here next to the other options.

in a 14 team league, why on earth would you take a 2nd QB and not get better WR/RBs?!?!

please please please tell us you play in a lol-2QB league that has 14 teams...

agholor/amendola would be my starters

ATL and Pit have ****ty secondaries.

Agholor and Parker

we have an OP slot, can be 2nd qb. It's basically a Flex+QB slot. most teams go with a 2nd qb but RB is often as well, rarely WR or TE there

gotcha, never played in a league with that

Might be overthinking this, but:

P manning vs BAL
Eli manning @DAL

it's manning all day everyday how can you even ask that.
jesus some ppl are idiots.






seriously tho I think u go with Peyton here anything else is fps.

Got the flex spot to fill (non-ppr):
A. Morris vs Miami
Charles Johnson @SF
Golden Tate @ SD
Agholor @ ATL

Leaning CJ or Tate. What do you think?

Yep. As much as I love Eli this season, gotta go Peyton until you have reason to believe otherwise.

Pick a WR, standard scoring, no PPR:

Allen vs. Det
Maclin @ Hou
Brown vs. NO

Yahoo says Allen, but my gut says Brown.

I agree with this post. Don't sit Maclin for Coleman.

Nevermind. Thought you were doing WR coleman, RB Coleman is fine.

I think this is a very easy decision and it is Morris.

PPR with bonuses for 40+ yard play
Alfred Blue v Kansas City
Or
Kendall Wright vs Tennessee

Flex spot

i have zero faith in alfred blue

Yeah me either. Unfortunately, I had to draft him because people went crazy with back up RBs early in a PPR league and I'm in dire straights for my back up.

Overthinking it











Sure but Kendall Wright never does anything. Blue will get carries.

Interesting. Somebody else ITT suggested Charles Johnson>Morris. Maybe that was PPR though. Any other opinions?
