I have same dilema in a 6pt per TD 1pp20yrd league.

Right now I have Rivers in the lineup.

I think it might be a coin flip.

I think Williams is going to be a busy boy. Rams may actually be in a position to run the ball most of the second half, and given that they're trying to fix that run game, I think those odds are pretty decent. Cowboys are going to have a lot of garbage time passing.

12 Teams - 2 PPR start QB, RB, WR, WR, TE, Flex. Bonuses for everything under the sun, this league is often a crapshoot because of the bonuses and high scoring. I hate setting my lineup every week. With Vjax on bye, and some questionable tags, it's been fun.

Pick a WR2:
Shorts @ St. Louis
Thompkins @ Cinci
Givens vs. Jax

Pick a Flex:
Any of the WRs you didn't pick
Gio vs. New England
Woodhead vs. Oakland.

Leaning towards Shorts and Kenbrell. But, good advice could sway me in any direction.

Giovani Bernard should be started every week imo.

Shorts
Givens
Bernard

imo. Amendola and Gronkowski were limited in practice, they'll be playing imo, which will reduce Thompkins' targets.

hell idk, I don't like Shorts either with Blackmon coming back, but I don't think that will eat into his targets as much as with Gronk and Amendola cutting into Thompkins'. Gabbert is ****ing terrible. flip a coin and say **** it imo

If Amendola plays, him. But I'm not banking on him playing. I think him and Gronk both sit out another week and I'd be surprised to see them on the field. That's why in my one league I'm leaning Thompkins.

Of the other two probably Trich for me. Hope he snags himself a 1 yard TD run again. And he should get more action in a game that's going to come down a lot to possession most likely.

Jeffery and Givens.

Could fault subbing Jeffery with Allen and just trying to find the upside in The matchups.

Basically, the good pass catching backs like Reggie, McCoy, Jamaal Charles are going off for 40 spots every week. It's the worst.

I think I'm going Kenbrell and Woodhead this week.

i think in 2ppr im finding a spot for woodhead for sure. im facing the same shorts/kenbrell problem, and amendola being out might push it over the top for me for kenbrell.

Amendola hasn't been ruled out to the best of my knowledge.

In fact the opposite is true. He traveled with the team and they are "optimistic" about his chances.

Not sure what report your getting. Source?

I mean I don't know much about Williams. Tried watching as much of the replay of the charger game. I really didn't come away from it thinking he sucked. Just wanted to know why u think he's so bad.

Ellington has no upside THIS week, moving forward I would stash him if you have room.

Blount is the one I would start for sure this week, no question about it. Cincy defense is banged up.

You also should be including match-ups.

The RBs/WRs are completely obvious. Flex spot here is the only thing that's close, and in standard, I generally lean toward the RB.

Amendola if he plays. If he doesn't, Boldin.

For Flex Colston (CHI) or T Smith (MIA) ?

Just saw you highlighted Miller... I hadn't even considered him, curious why you would look to him instead of Colston and Smith?
