Start off with some injury related questions:

1 PPR, need 1 WR and 1 Flex

Wayne @NYG - good reports coming out, but a MNF game
Stills @Car - getting decent targets lately, but TNF
Matthews @Hou
Sproles @Hou - also good reports coming out, seems like he'll play

Ideally I'd play Wayne and Sproles, but since I don't know if I'll know about Wayne before Thursday, I'd rather put in Stills over playing Matthews and Sproles.

.5 PPR, pick 1 RB and 1 Flex

VJax @Cle - I'm just fed up with him honestly
Cadet @Car - YOLO play?
Mason @SF - no idea
AZFloyd @Dal

Leaning VJax(sigh) and Cadet

need a bye week qb replacement, pick up off waivers...

tannehill vs sd
eli v colts

Imo, Wayne is clearly in a tier by himself and the other 3 options are basically equivalent. Matthews is the higher floor lower celing play, whereas Stills or Sproles are the lower floor higher ceiling plays. I would wait on Wayne and start Sproles and Matthews if he is a no go.

You sign up for the variance when you draft VJax. Got to start him with these other options. I actually lean Floyd as the other start, but it seems weird to go that way in 0.5 PPR, but Cadet is essentially a WR and I don't like gambling with Mason when a fine option like Floyd is available.


I think this is a flip and depends on if you are a favorite or a dog. Eli has more upside but a lower floor and Tannehill has much less upside but a higher floor.

that last one is rough.

Is Hoyer available? I'm serious. I think Hoyer is a sneaking good play this week.

start 2 WRs (julio is out and i'm piecing together 2 of the 4 as plays this week). .5 ppr/12 team

decker @ KC
allen robinson @ CIN
cpatt v WASH
colston @ CAR

leaning decker/a rob but honestly the 4 are close so kinda clueless.

.5 ppr pick 1 WR 1 flex

sanu vs jax
wayne @ NYG(if he plays)
andre vs ind
cooks @ car (thurs)
sproles @ hou

pick 1 QB
need a replacement for rodgers this week, palmer obv tiers above, but since its just a 1 week stream..

palmer @ dal
hoyer vs TB
rg3 if healthy @ min

0 ppr 1 wr 1 flex (1 pt per 10 punt return yards, 1 pt per 25 kickoff return yards)

a-rob @cin
ODB vs ind
harvin @ KC
deangelo vs NO

leaning a-rob and ODB here, but deangelo gets his job back, and harvin listed for potential on return points. harvin went for 9 points last week even though he only caught 3/22

No-PPR, need to choose one:

Darren McFadden (OAK v SEA)
Dangelo Williams (CAR v NO)
Jonas Gray (NE v DEN)
Lorenzo Taliaferro (BAL v PIT)

Pick two in Std League

Allen Robinson
Andre Johnson
R. Randle

Leaning Randle and Robinson

Decker/Colston, close third for a rob, **** patterson.

1PPR, need 1WR and 1 FLEX:

D. Baldwin v. OAK
B. Cooks v. CAR
D. Robinson v. CIN
G. Olsen v. NO

Non PPR.

Jordan Reed or Travis Kelce?

Chris ivory or Denard Robinson?

I like Reed and Ivory.

I am probably in the minority on Reed.

0.5 ppr pick 1:

boldin vs rams
evans @ browns
beckham vs colts
jennings vs colts (if available, prob not but it is MNF and i have someone to plug in)

standard pick 2:

benjamin vs saints
fitz @ cowboys
sanu vs jags
vjax @ browns

standard pick 1:

djax @ vikings
allen @ dolphins
beckham vs colts

IMO. jennings chance to play makes me hold out hope for him till Monday because he is so much better than other 3 options.

If green is out, I probably roll Sanu. Fitz, I need another game out of before I can start him. he is on waivers in a bunch of spots in my leagues.

djax, I like his upside.
My free advice, worth everything you paid for it.

Cooks and Olsen

I would leave Patterson out for sure. The other 3 are very close, but I like Decker and Robinson as well because they have higher floors than Colston and similar ceilings.

Lean Wayne and Sanu, but this is a tough one. If you want to add some variance and Thursday excitement go with Cooks over Wayne.

Still Palmer for the one week stream- way higher floor than the rest and similar ceiling.

Does ODB return (I think I saw him returning vs PHI)? Stay far away from DAW- I go ODB and Harvin (replace Harvin with A-Rob if Harvin isn't returning).


Just heard that Forsett isn't practicing. If he doesn't play snap Taliaferro. If he does I think McFadden is the play honestly.

.75 PPR league, pick 1

Forsett @PIT (Missed practice today with leg issue)
Rainey @ CLE (Martin missed practice)
Stewart @ NO Thursday

Same league, pick 1:
Edelman vs DEN
VJax @ CLE

PPR with 5 point bonus at 100 yards pick 1:
Ingram @ CAR
McKinnon vs WAS

PPR with 3 point bonus at 100 yards pick highest upside option:
Clay vs SD
Cook @ SF
Harbor @ CIN
Gillmore @ PIT
Gresham vs JAX
Amaro @ KC

PPR pick 1:
Gray vs DEN
Cadet @ CAR
Mathews @ MIA (if him who do I start if he is a no go)

PPR pick 2:
Shorts @ CIN
Jordan Matthews @ HOU
Rainey @ CLE
Britt @ SF

PPR pick 4:
Vereen vs DEN
McKinnon vs WAS
Denard Robinson @ CIN
Garcon @ MIN
Hawkins vs TB

I wouldn't start Stewart and I'd start Forsett assuming he goes (Rainey if he doesn't).

VJax is the safer pick IMO

McKinnon
ughh Gresham or Cook I guess (should see more targets with Quick done)
Gray (if Mathews is predicted to have a lot of touches I'd go with him)
Shorts and Rainey
bench Hawkins

need a flex:

Vereen
T Williams
Hopkins
D Baldwin
Sproles

PPR pick 1:
Hillman @ NE
McKinnon vs WSH

PPR pick 1 FLEX:
Cooks @ CAR
Vereen vs DEN

PPR pick 1 FLEX (20tm league):
Knile Davis vs NYJ
Wright vs DEN
Wheaton vs BAL
Austin vs TB

PPR pick 1:
Randle v IND
Colston @ CAR

Baldwin

Need advice gentlemen,

PPR league I have:

Fitzgerald @ dal
Terrance Williams vs ari
Rueben Randle vs ind
James Jones @ sea
Crabtree vs Stl
Wayne @ nyg
hawkins vs tb.

Which of the 7 would you be willing to drop to pick up a RB if Doug Martin doesnt play.

think i'm gonna wait til right before gametime Thursday to see how I feel about wayne and if he's going. but wayne/cooks def the hardest decision of my week I think.

ODB did punt returning last 2 games vs philly and vs Dallas, started doing them over preston parker. he's def getting the start.

harvin only returns kickoffs I think, not punts. so the points are a lot more scarce there. not sure if it's worth solely starting him for it. so basically between him/a-rob still though.

Wayne
