2018 NFL FFB Start/Sit Thread - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hey Fokls,

It's that's time of year again. We all need a little help and our ideas heard. Decisions need to be made that could affect the outcome of a season (alright, there are 10,000 individual discrete decisions, but whatevs). You get the point.

Try not to be too snarky or rude.
A question is being asked, because the OP is really in need of a sounding board (don't post just to stroke your ego; you can stroke it by yourself).
When asking for help, remember to help us help you.
If you want real answers, give real questions.
Be sure to give the scoring format, starting lineup requirements, opponents, and any other information that would be helpful.
Dear Helpers, don't just give one word answers (unless it's dreadfully obvious). Explain your process. Give the OP some insight into your thoughts.

So, without further ado, I'll kick things off with a few.

Rank these guys half PPR:
- Crabtree
- Sanders
- Barber
- Alfmo

Need a flex in two leagues and leaning Crabtree in both.

I dunno, I think Barber's more likely to get 15+ touches than Crabtree is to get 6+ receptions

Flex spot help

Goodwin @ MIN
Crowell @ DET
K. Cole @ NYG
Ross @ IND

Leaning Goodwin just because of the hype, but it is MIN. Ross is my 2nd choice then Cole, Crowell

Standard scoring

Jordan Howard at GB, Jamaal Williams vs Chi, or Derrick Henry at Mia?

10 team, .5 ppr
What combo should start among 2 rb, 2wr, and a flex spot?

Davnte Adams
TY Hilton
Alvin Kamara
Lamar Miller (v. NE)
Rex Burkhead (v. HOU)
Mike Evans (v. NO)
Demaryius Thomas (v. SEA)

I am really trying to decide between Mike Evans and Rex Burkhead for my flex spot. At least that is how I have things set up at the moment.

Howard. You didn’t take him in what I assume to be the late 2nd or 3rd round just to sit him in week 1.

Full PPR

Current starters

DJ, Ajayi
ODB, Hill
Baldwin - flex

Do you start any on the bench above the 5 I have in?

Nelson, Stills, Golladay
Hyde, Thompson, Crowell, Michel

Obviously, DJ, ODB and Hill are locked in. Really just trying to decide on Ajayi and Baldwin.

Half PPR, full point per first down. Gotta sit one; ranked in my order of preference.

Alex Collins v BUF
Royce Freeman v SEA
Lamar Miller @ NE
Derrick Henry @ MIA

I'm very much torn between the latter two.

Same scoring, different league:

Leonard Fournette @ NYG
Kareem Hunt @ LAC

I lean Fournette for the matchup but just wanted to check.

Same scoring, need to bench one WR:

Larry Fitzgerald v WAS
Doug Baldwin @ DEN
Allen Robinson @ GB

My real tough call is Baldwin vs. Robinson-- they come with different risks-- but I'm open to anyone who thinks Fitz should sit over them if they can justify it.
Larry Fitzgerald

Other league looks fine. Maybe Hyde over Ajayi but probably not.

Also post matchups please.

Baldwin I don't know his current status for health. If healthy it's a no brainer. If iffy then between Nelson and Golladay for me. Wouldn't start any of your bench RB's in the flex over your WR options.

Fournette based on matchup I guess

If Baldwin is healthy, seems like sitting Robinson is the safe wait and see play

I have the same flex decision to make (with my backup options: Cooks, Kerryon, Breida).

I'm leaning Conner atm but it feels really close.

But I’ll be sure to post them going forward.

I was mainly seeing if people were thinking I should bench McCoy.

Appreciate the input.
