I appreciate the input, but I'm not sure I'm any closer to an answer.

It sounds like I should go Benjamin, Moncrief, and Duke or Hightower if KC and GB are in bad rain.

If Benjamin doesn't play and both games are rainy, what do I do?

If the weather and the injury reports are all clear, what do I do? (My current lineup is set Maclin / Benjamin / Cobb for this.)

If Benjamin doesn't play I go Moncrief over him. If it's pooring Rain and both games then it's Moncrief + Cobb for me. Packers run O is so bad they gotta involve Cobb. But the Chiefs can really run their way through 4 Q's to beat San Diego, and Maclin could lay a full egg.

I have no scenario where it's Woodhead. Duke Johnson is an unknown for me. Admit to not following him enough.

Duke would be much better in a PPR league, but he is a very good pass-catching back against a team that is poor at defending those, in a game that should be close enough to warrant continuing to throw to him. He's a high-variance play, but I may need one of those.

I feel like every option I can choose carries substantial downside, and I have to choose three of them anyway.

Benjamin, Moncrief and Maclin all strike me as 5 or 18 type guys. As a dog I'm fine with that, and never tend to regret the wrong decisions.

Where I get my regrets are dudes I'm both playing for some safe floor and I flip the coin wrong. God that pisses me off.

This raises another question: I plugged in San Francisco's defense this week. Is it stupid to play SF D/ST alongside Benjamin and Duke? Or is it one of those things that doesn't matter too much?

The best waiver-wire option is either Chicago or Tampa Bay.

If we're really going nuts, I was starting Matt Stafford @ STL, but am now also considering Manziel v SF.

I would play Maclin rain or shine. He's in a groove, I think they'll try to keep him happy, maybe has a chip vs. Verrett from the last game. Coob and Benjamin are probably the next two and anything else might be over thinking it. Duke has been more a McCown target than a JFF target.

A JFF/Benjamin stack is probably okay if you need upside. Can't see that STL/DET game getting into shootout mode.

Yeah it would take really bad rain for me to sit Mac. Like coming down in sheets.

SF defense isn't a good stream?

So the rumors are that Gronk is going to play limited snaps in the night game. Is he better than these options anyway in a PPR league...

Watson @ TB
Barnidge vs SF
Ginn vs ATL
J. Jones vs DAL

Probably the least option I'd go actually.

great, gronk is travelling, do i:

- start watson @ tampa in the early game
- drop watson for either cameron vs giants or tye @ dolphins, and start them if gronk is inactive?

It's Yeldon or Ivory. Yeldon first for me.

Watson is an ok option. I dunno, feel like Gronk will be in for 10 snaps or something. I don't see myself playing him even if he does go. He could just as easily test it out in game speed and get reinjured. I don't see how he goes 8/80 or something.

Win to get in, .5 PPR and need a TE since I'm not going to start Gronk:

Watson vs TB
Tamme @ Car (Josh Normal on Julio means more dump offs to Tamme?)
Tye @ Mia

With the rain in GB, would I be crazy to go with Jameis against the Saints over Rodgers? 6 pt TDs, and I'm a dog in my matchup if it matters.

This is super tight but I think Jameis has a better chance of a huge game.

Standard scoring, need to pick 2 of (yes I have terrible RBs):

Charles Sims vs NO
Juwan Thompson vs Oak
Duke Johnson vs SF

I sit thompson. Out of those 3 most likely to do nothing. Don't think he has the upside either

I'd go Sims and Thompson barring any news about CJ Anderson getting work.
