Trading away the Tampa Bay DST was the smartest move I made this week.
I have 4 options for my FLEX and need some help picking which one to go with (it's a 12-team PPR league):
Michael Crabtree @ Arizona
OR
Shane Vereen vs. Oakland
OR
Zach Ertz vs. Washington
OR
Khiry Robinson vs. Minnesota
Yep, Julio paid off in spades tonight.Pretty f'in happy so far that I picked the same lineup for 4 Draftkings games all of which included:
Matt Ryan and Julio Jones
I knew they'd have a big game at home vs. TB...Didn't seem TB being this pathetic though.
I wish I could travel back in time and pick up the Falcons Defense.
Julio Jones is having a monster game and of course my opponent is playing him.
Picked Rainey at last minute, Started him and he did squat..
R Jennings
or S Vereen
~100 total yards, which after 2 fumbles is still 6 points. What we wanted? No. But still 6 points more than I dreamed of after halftime. He led the team in receiving and rushing, and could still be the lead back next week, which is scary considering in the old Kubiak offenses he would be on the street.
My guess is Jennings, but it's a tough one. ESPN had a neat stat that Ridley gets much more work than Vereen when the Pats are winning while Vereen gets much more if they're losing.
They aren't losing to the Raiders.
The only downside to Jennings is that the Gmen offense is trash. The Texans are going to beat the crap out of Eli. They will probably run just to keep Eli from getting crushed in the pocket, or at least throw to Jennings on short slants or dumpoffs because there isn't enough time.
I've somehow acquired too many RBs and don't know who to start. 3WR/2RB league.
My RB1 is Morris.
RB2 choices:
Ahmad Bradshaw
Khiry Robinson
Toby Gerhart
Rashad Jennings
Zac Stacy
What do I do?
Also Cooks, James Jones, Deandre Hopkins, Crabtree?
Which two do y'all like?
Yeah, last night was just arcane. Bobby Rainey was set up in every way to have a decent game, and then it ends up being like a 42 point game.In my league Rainey only got 3, We lose 2 points for fumbles
Still waiting on news about J. Charles since I picked up Kniles Davis on waiver. Would be a shame not to be able to use him. Wanted some views on my current RB/WR/flex lineup. Standard scoring.
QB - Peyton Manning
RB - Montee Ball
RB - Reggie Bush
WR - Andre Johnson
WR - Jeremy Maclin
TE - Greg Olsen
W/R/T - Zac Stacy
K - Stephen Gostkowsky
DEF/ST - Carolina
Bench: Kniles Davis, Torrey Smith, Steve Smith Sr., Terrence West, Antonio Gates.
Don't think Gates will pull off another blowout week, but that's the problem with having two viable TE options. Still think Olsen is the safer pick, but it's always a toss up. Both have good match ups. Ravens also have a good matchup for WR's..so I'm waffling between maybe starting one of the Smiths. Tough week =/
Regardless of Charles' status, I'd start Davis over Bush. He's gonna see a lot of work.
Ugh, update:
I ended up starting Rainey and thankfully his receptions ended up salvaging his night at 9 in my league (including the points lost for fumbles). Thankfully, I had Matt Ryan so he balanced everything out. Still looking good going into Sunday, but I know in my heart of hearts that Donald Brown is going to go off to punish my lack of faith.

Would I be crazy to start Lamar Miller over Forte?
I've got a feeling!

I disagree. DizzyCaffeine would indeed be crazy to bench Forte for Lamar Miller.
I did the same thing, started Rainey over Donald Brown. Looking at the score after the half, I was sick to my stomach. Two fumbles? But in the end, he had a 10-point day thanks to his 7 receptions (0.5 ppr) and he's a valuable handcuff to my gimped Doug Martin. It definitely looked like the right play at the time, especially with Martin out of the game. It does look like Rainey will get his touches down the line if he can get a handle on his one-game fumblitis.

Start your studs. Don't get cute.
So...Gore or Sproles? I'm conflicted.
12 Team PPR League
Should I trade Percy Harvin for Sproles?
WRs: Demaryous, AJ Green, Crabtree, Boldin, J.Jones and Harvin (Play 3)
RBs: Martin, Gerhart
, Ridley, Ivory, Rainey, K. Davis (play 2)
Have 2 flex also.
I'm almost thinking it since Sproles is awesome at PPR but his usage might go down.
Also, my RB depth sucks for now until Doug Martin and Gerhart step it up.
Watcha think?
Forsett and Sanu are available on waivers but I think my players are probably better.
WR - DeSean Jackson @ PHI - $5,000 (he's listed as Questionable to play - but it's his old team so I think he'll be motivated)
Terrance West vs Balt
or
Bernard Pierce vs Cle
I'd go with Hawkins.Carson Palmer's out. Should I sit Floyd against SF with Stanton throwing the ball? I have Andrew Hawkins ready to take his place. It seems like a pretty easy choice, but Fred Jackson has been so disappointing this season that I'm considering just rolling with Floyd in the Flex spot in his place. Am I crazy?
