Leggo!

Remember to post your league settings, help other people, dont be an ass***

in PPR, pick 1 RB and 1 WR, leans in bold

Kevin White vs ATL
Ameer Abdullah vs AZ
Tyler Lockett @ GB
Sterling Shepard @ DAL

PPR, pick a flex

J Matthews (assuming he plays, having little practice with the team) vs NYJ
M Gillislee vs KC
R Burkhead vs KC
(It's a dynasty league where I had both Gil and Burk before they were signed by NE, so now I have this cluster***)

Your second choice is close as well, but Gillislee probably wins due to more likely to score.

I have TY in one league and very down on him until luck comes back. I would start Allen.

I'd start Allen too. I just can't see trusting Tolzien right off the bat

I would lean to Peterson in standard - Sean Peyton is a players coach and I could see him giving a motivated AP some easy looks if at all possible

Not the biggest Perkins fan but as of right now he is the starting RB on a decent offensive team that might have a hobbled playmaker. I would roll him out there until he loses his job or makes you look like draft day genius.

Non-ppr 10 team league.

RB2 choice between Crowell and Hunt
Flex choice between one of them, Martavis Bryant and Tyreek Hill

Right now I'm leaning toward just going with both RBs. If the Mia/Tampa game gets pushed I'd start both RBs and sit Ajayi. Would probably start Bryant in that case due to weather in the NE/KC game.

Anything seem too boneheaded in that?

I have Zeke and the word is he is playing week 1. In my league we have 2 flex spots and scoring is 1 pt / 5 yards (or to think of it differently, touchdowns are worth half as much). Who do I flex between:

Gurley v Ind
D Cook v NO
K Hunt @ NE Thursday.

Leans are bolded.

I feel like we might be in similar spots. Starting Hunt makes me nervous because KC seems to be waffling between him being a feature back and RBBC between him, West, Spiller, and even Hill in the backfield.

I'd go Gurley for sure and then probably Cook due to his matchup as of today.

I'm around a 5 point favorite per lolyahoo so I'll probably just stick with Hunt unless there's any particular news.

I would go R. Matt, if i was feeling that i was a big dog i'd go ginn due to his huge play potential but he has a pretty low floor and ten/oak should be a high scoring game where you can have ten #1 wr

With a bunch of my starters likely lost if the MIA/TB game is postponed I need to make a couple of really ugly decisions. Sweet combo of terrible matchups and unknown usage.

Need 1 RB and 1 flex, full PPR:
Ginn @ Min
James White vs KC
West @ Cin
Abdullah vs AZ
Prosise @ GB

If it makes a difference for Ginn, I'm also starting Brees and M.Thomas

This game moving thing sucks since I am in a couple of leagues where people roster 2 QBs and I have a lone Winston and a very ugly waiver wire.

Your leans are basically high variance guys.
Ginn and Thielen are potential 3-15 pt guys and the RBs are similar, IMO, but maybe 8-12 pt guys? Obviously these ranges are not guaranteed, but something like this seems right.

So if you need floor, go RBs, if you need a hail mary, go for the WRs.

Similar in the second group where it seems like Perkins has the highest floor.

Maybe the second group I put perkins in. I did pick him up for that reason of a safe floor.
