(PPR league) Is it crazy to start Ridley over Vereen and Gates over Gronk based on a predicted Pats blowout of the Raiders? I'm thinking Ridley is OK but Gates is bad.

need only 1 out of these btw

I'd go with Pierce. Longer layoff should help too.

If I had Gates + Gronk, I'd be actively shopping Gates right now. I would start Ridley over Vereen, but maybe use Vereen as flex depending on your team.

Matty Ice Thursday or Cam Sunday night?

Pierre. Wouldn't be close in PPR

Pick 1, 0.5ppr

Forsett @ Cle
TRich @ Jax
Woodhead @ Buf

Leaning towards Forsett or TRich, latter had 21 carries in week 2, even with the fumbles I feel like he's going to have plenty of chances to score vs Jax. Woodhead I'm on the fence about.

also pick 1

Vincent Jackson @ ATL
Steve Smith Sr @ Cle

Heavily leaning towards VJax here (even with the 0.5ppr) seeing as ATL haven't made a single sack through week 1 & 2, I feel confident about a bounce back game for him. Also have DeAndre Hopkins on the bench but I feel like his heater is about to end, 2 scores but only 7 catches over the 2 games, might try and trade him. I hate having a deep bench, makes decisions harder every week

PPR Pick 2

M Ball @ Sea
R Jennings v Houston
J Bell v GB
P Thomas v Min
F Jackson v SD

im running with bell or spiller without a doubt. you can never guess the pats game plan. perhaps they notice some flaw in the raiders d that vereen or bolden is perfect to exploit. or ridley fumbles.

spiller looks explosive. bell is getting more touches than bush and the gl reps.

im def going gronk. in ppr, id proly still roll out vereen. im not ready to accept that vereen wont routinely have a role even in blowouts. and you never know, the game may stay close.

sadly, id stick with trich. his benching is coming, but i cant imagine him going from 22 touches to nothing. and they threw him back out there despite the 2 fumbles and getting outplayed by bradshaw and entrusted him to start out the most important drive of the game.

atl pass d seems vulnerable and vjax is the type you just gotta ride bc he can explode at any time.

well, its easy to rule out fjax. id toss pierre too. i wouldnt be surprised if cadet gets a role in the next game.

you really gotta love jennings usage and receptions the first 2 weeks. i dont think you can bench 17 carries and 4 receptions along with goal line work.

likewise, ball just gets too many snaps and carries to bench. even against the seahawks i think he will have scoring opps.

mo bench mo problems.

standard non ppr

2 WR and 1 flex spot to be filled from,

Zac Stacy vs Dal
Sproles vs Was
Asiata @ NO

Andre Johnson @ NYG
Maclin vs Was
Welker @ Sea
Desean @ Phi

leaning bolded

.5 PPR Need 2 out of 4, who is out?
Victor Cruz v Houston
Deandre Hopkins v Giants
Chris Johnson v Bears
Wes Welker v Seahawks

I'm leaning towards sitting Cruz and Welker

Id go with Johnson, Jackson and Stacy

PPR

Pick 1 WR and 1 Flex:
Wright @ Cin
Cooks vs Min
Chris Johnson vs Chi
Watkins vs SD
West vs Bal
Quick vs Dal
Shorts vs Ind

I play the matchups here. Wright and Cooks both have poor matchups, I think NO will run the ball a lot, and passing on Cinci is a nightmare.

Meanwhile you get a very soft favorable high-volume setup for West, and Quick is going to be a target monster in what I expect to be a close game. Somewhere off play action Quick is going to break one.

edit: hmm I stand corrected, Cinci secondary does give up some chunks. Wright over Quick then.

Rather than post all of mine, I'd just like these ranked because I have so many decisions with these players. I'm going to post my PPR rankings for these, feel free to post your rankings accordingly, thanks guys!

1) Crabtree @ Ari (assuming no V Davis)
2) D Jax @ Phi
3) E Sanders @ Sea
4) Quick vs Dal
5) Benjamin vs Pit

Sound about right? Zona pass D has not shown itself to be very stout right now, but it is nearly impossible to run on them. Figured Crab had all the opportunity here for 7/100/1. I just don't know who gets Sherman on him in the Seattle game, so bumped Sanders down because of it.

.5ppr, pick 2

Bush vs gb
Asiata vs no
Wallace vs Kc
Knile vs Mia
Gerhart vs ind

Kaep vs az
Cousins vs phi
Manuel vs sd

ppr, 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1w/r

qb: godgers or cam
rb: foster, rjennings, sproles, asiata, rainey, kdavis
wr: edelman, jjones, watkins, ty hilton

leaning towards boldeds

Non ppr, need to figure out which two running backs to start this week. Leaning towards gerhart and pierce:

Gerhart (jax vs ind)
Pierce (bal vs cle)
Ivory (jets vs chi)
K. Robinson (NO vs min)

I go pierce and khiry. Not starting gerhart this week when they will be behind the entire time

Edelman must start might be my fav from that bunch!

just checking:

standard scoring, we're starting sproles vs WAS over:

Woodhead vs BUF
Larry Fitz vs SF
Torrey Smith vs CLE

right?

1.25 PPR

Pick 2 WR:

Jennings @ NO
Welker @ SEA
Hunter @ CIN
Douglass v TB (assume no Roddy)

then, pick 1 flex from the above and:

Stacy v DAL
Witten @ StL
Pierce @ CLE
Forsett @ CLE


Leaning the top of the list. Tempted to start Witten as he has to get it together eventually...

I'm starting Fitz over Sproles. Definitely Sproles over the other 2.


If Roddy is out, I go Douglass and Welker. Otherwise Welker and Jennings. Flex Jennings or Hunter depending on Douglass situation. I think you gotta give Stacy a go against DAL.

2QB/PPR with 6 pt passing TDs. 0-2 in this league, so in major need of a win to keep the hope alive.

What do you guys expect from Tony Romo this week? Any consideration to starting Cassel or Henne in hopes of garbage time goodness? My other QB is Cutler.

Pick 3:
Bradshaw
Pierre Thomas
Vereen
Gore
Rainey

My team is awful, need two RB and a flex from this list. PPR league.

Reggie Bush vs. GB
Matt Asiata @ NO
Michael Floyd vs. SF
Trent Richardson @ Jac
Danny Woodhead @ Buf
Darren McFadden @ NE
James Jones @ NE

Bolded are who I have in now.
