Travis Kelce or Jordan Cameron

This is a good problem to have. I would roll with Kelce personally.

Ok for my 2nd Flex spot I have:
Titans RB Bishop Sankey @ Tampa Bay
Saints WR Brandon Coleman @ Arizona

PPR I roll with Coleman, kind of a coin toss if its regular scoring. Hard to tell what the usage will be for either of these guys in week 1.

Two Start 'em questions for my team (Not PPR):
Richard Rodgers or Jordan Reed
Mike Evans (hamstring injury has him Q) or Jordan Matthews

Thanks for the advice. And I wish I could give one of them to my team in the other ESPN league I'm in. I was the last one to draft a TE (and everyone pretty much got two before I even picked up one) so I just went with Donnell. I guess I'll be streaming TEs this year in that particular league.

Sankey should get 15 carries but is so bleh... Coleman in the 3rd WR in 3 WR sets, may see some Patrick Patterson but dude is a home run hitter on a team that can hit homers with Brees. Thoughts?

I'm thinking Coleman. I'm not really huge on sankey.

Since I can't find it in me to bench Mike Evans, I need help deciding whether I should replace T.Y. Hilton for Keenan Allen??

My team is a royal mess having had our live draft on August 22, my selecting Jordy Nelson and Julio Jones on the 20/21 wheel, and then watching him die the next day.

For the last two RB spots:
Melvin Gordon, Chris Ivory, Rashad Jennings.

Leaning towards the last two.
 
Travis Kelce vs Houston

or

Jordan Cameron vs Washington

I have Cameron in my league and I wish I had Kelce. Start him.

Two Start 'em questions for my team (Not PPR):
Richard Rodgers or Jordan Reed
Mike Evans (hamstring injury has him Q) or Jordan Matthews

Definitely Jordan Reed.
I'd pick Evans, but I'm not buying into the Eagles hype like everyone else is, so I might be biased..

Don't do that.

Melvin Gordon, Chris Ivory, Rashad Jennings.

I'd definitely make use of Chris Ivory. For the next two it's a toss up. I can see why you would go either way. Though if I had Gordon I'd probably start him.
 
My FD team is so effing ready, I'm trying to port it over to other DFS games (Yahoo also)


E. Manning NYG@DAL $8,300
J. Forsett BAL@DEN $7,800
C. Ivory CLE@NYJ $6,400
O. Beckham Jr. NYG@DAL $8,900
D. Hopkins KC@HOU $7,800
J. Brown NO@ARI $6,000
G. Olsen CAR@JAC $5,900
B. McManus BAL@DEN $4,500
New York Jets D

Gonna get that cash tomorrow.

Why post your team before it closes? I can now split the money with you.

I have 3 of the same players on my FD team. I'm not saying which ones. I'm quite certain my team will do better than yours.
 
Tannehill vs. the Redskins or Eli vs. the Cowboys?

Also, should I wait for Mike Evans to see if he'll play, or go with Golden Tate against the Chargers?

Alfred Morris or Joqiue Bell?

Morris is playing the dolphins so I'm nervous about that.

Also is Michael Floyd playing? I'm hearing different things from different networks.

I need last second flex advice if Ladarius Green doesn't play.

Either Sanu, Andrew Hawkins, or Nate Washington.

I liked Sanu last year and he's supposedly going to be #3 over Marvin Jones.

Washington is the #2 behing DeAndre Hopkins but might get mixed with Cecil shorts and whoever else.

Not sure about Hawkins, but the Browns don't look like they have too many good options.

I'd go with Bell. Does Washington still have Helu? There's a potential TD take-a-wayer on the ground. Plus Washington is going to be down big in which case they'll be throwing a lot.

Eli
Tate

Redskins gonna fold.
Injured players aren't nearly as effective even if they play(no facts to back it up but probably the truth).

Helu is gone. Miami is good against the run though so probably better to start someone else if there is an alternative on the bench.

Bell is in a RBBC situation. Doesn't seem like a better alternative to me.

Eh. I'd take the guy from the highest scoring game.
Sproles, Yeldon, or Blue? Who to start?
Blue
Travis Kelce vs Houston

or

Jordan Cameron vs Washington
Cameron, but not by alot.

Jesus Christ. Playing someone who dressed WES WELKER and Desean Jackson and I'm still losing.

Fucking Houston defence, Gore doing piss all, I got James Jones on the bench and my opponent had Gronk. Took 1 hour into the first Sunday for me to hate Fantasy Football and my team haha.
 
If James Jones is going to be Rodgers' trusted guy suddenly people who drafted Davante Adams in the first 4 rounds have to be killing themselves.
 
Anybody got ideas on who will/should be the #1 Waiver Wire pick this week? James Jones? Dion Lewis? Percy Harvin? Benny Cunningham? Alex Smith?

People were drafting Adams that high? That's crazy.

I took a gamble and grabbed Jones in one of my leagues with the very last pick. He did very well on my bench today. I might have to bring him up. Especially if the outlook on Hilton isn't so great.

James Jones, as mentioned above, Rodgers trust him over rookies and 3rd stringers.

The other guys you mentioned are just flukes or backups, Harvin has the most talent, and Alex Smith is decent but has no WR support.

I have Charles Johnson playing tomorrow night, but barring a half dozen fumbles, I've won the week despite having a really bad week from Peyton.

I grabbed Denver's Defense late in the draft, and they probably saved my ass this week.
 
So I pick Desean Jackson coz I feel obligated to draft a guy from my home team and what do I get? 0 points after an injury on his first target and a fantasy matchup that I should have won easily now looking like a loss.

Moral of the story: never draft a fantasy player because you feel obligated to pick a guy from your home team.

Down 24.82 pts. Good thing all his players already played.

I have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to go, but I'm not sure I can pull it off.

I could start Romo...
 
I was sitting pretty for most of the day but then CJ Anderson disappointing and Flacco throwing two picks including a TAINT is making this too close for comfort. Up by 20 in a PPR league, he has Sproles and Roddy White left, I have Cody Parkey. In theory, I should still be comfortable, but you never know what can happen with Sproles.

I still think Adams has a breakout year. Jones did get those touchdowns, but Adams led the team in targets and did have a red zone target.

With that said, I feel Jones will score more touchdowns than Adams, but Adams will gain more yardage and receptions than Jones.
 
Thank god for Seattle's D this week. Plus my 12th round pickup of Percy Harvin looks like a good one. Need to get him in my lineup.

I need Darren Sproles to do nothing. Like no yardage, not a single catch or anything. What are the chances of that? I'm only leading in scoring by 2 points in a ppr league of .5 per catch.


IF I JUST SAT EVANS AND PICKED UP JAMES JONES LIKE I WANTED TO

With that last Witten TD I should be 3-0 if Julio Jones can score more than Zac Ertz (questionable) and Carlos Hyde tomorrow
 
Ravens-Broncos game killed me. I had Steve Smith and Owen Daniels and got 1.8 points combined from them. If I started Kendall Wright over Smith I'd still be behind but at least have a decent shot of coming back. Now I need like 40 points from Matt Ryan to have a chance to win.

My team is definitely going to need some work. I'm pretty late on the waiver too which sucks.

Maybe I just need Bell back.

At least my 10 team league did good.

I need some options, I'm beginning to triple guess myself now. I'm down 92 to 106 in my league. My opponent still has his kicker to play tomorrow (Byrant - ATL), and I have my Flex player to go. My choices are:

Tevin Coleman
Mike Walllace
Devonta Freeman

I've had Coleman slotted in since I nabbed him when Freeman starting having his hamstring issues. It now seems like Freeman will play tomorrow, but Coleman will start. I'm worried that Coleman won't perform well against the Eagle's front 7 (being an untested rookie)... maybe I should drop Wallace in and go for a risky payoff? I need 14 to tie, not including any points my opponent's kicker may put up. I'll probably need closer to 20 to have a shot at actually winning. Who do you think will have the best shot at having a breakout game? I'm just going in circles at this point.
 
Looking good so far. I'm up 20 points with Peterson and Julio Jones still to play tomorrow night. My opponent only has Kaepernick left.

Thinking about making a claim on James Jones this week and dropping Terrance Williams. Is anybody expecting much out of either of them?

Could be down only 2 pts if I had followed my instinct and started Romo.

Oh well...
