That's a damn shallow league if Matthews is sitting on the FA list.

I have Houston & Cleveland's defenses. Both have underperformed big time this year.
Minnesota is available on the Free Agent wire.
Should I pick them up? If so, who do I drop?

Both. No need to carry 2 DST. Only time it's acceptable is if you have a stud DST on bye.

Stefon Diggs 2% owned
Antonio Brown-esque combine numbers
'X' receiver in Norv Turner offense ala Josh Gordon
10 Targets when only playing 55% of snaps last week for 72 yards
Starting 'X' receiver Charles Johnson out this week
Going against the league worst pass defense in KC
Mike Wallace praising him saying he's a better WR than him
get em boys

I'd honestly go with Alex. Minnesota's defense is good but they will be throwing the ball around more with Charles gone. Maclin and Kelce should have pretty good games.
He'll play. Even if he's not 100%. Using him as a decoy still frees up some other people.

That's the problem. In my most serious, highest buy-in league, I have OBJ, and Rueben Randle on my bench.
I'm almost thinking Randle might be the way to go regardless of whether Beckham suits up. If he's out there as a decoy on a snap count, that does me no good. Luckily, I'm playing the worst team in the league this week; his team is brutally bad; I was favored by 35 in projections until Brees/Snead underperformed last night. I hopefully won't even need anything come Monday night..
Yeah, I was gonna point this out too. Brown's one of those guys that vastly outperforms his measurables. Lots of guys had Antonio Brown combine measurables. Hell, looking at his numbers he can bench less reps and ran a slower 40 than me when I played rugby in college, and he's smaller too. Yet here I sit on my couch like a chump. Though there is a rugby player in the NFL now I hear.
I hate these "pro comparisons" that are often listed alongside draft profiles. It's totally meaningless.
Who should I start at RB
Melvin Gordon @GB
CJ Anderson @CLE
Ameer Abdullah @CHI
All of them kind of a crapshoot at this point. Gordon appears to be coming on in the pass game at least, but that matchup seems terrible. The other two have better matchups, but their teams are a mess offensively.
Also I have Barnridge and Olsen available at TE, not sure who to start this week, and frankly I need to trade one of these dudes for a receiver or running back but I'm not sure who to trade at this point.

Actually Johnson looks like he could play. He's Questionable.

Sorry for the late reply. Umm it's definitely not a bad trade. Cobb's got a shoulder issue but that shouldn't be a problem. I do however like Marshall more for the time being. If you look at their schedule they play A LOT of bad pass D's. Then again Cobb has Rodgers.
It's up to you but if it were me I'd be a little higher on Marshall. I guess you'd put Ameer above Ellington but he has looked awful the last 2 weeks. Ellington just won't be getting the touches you want. If I were you I'd stick with your players for now. If you can get Dion Lewis in your second proposed trade I would however do that. As much as i hate the Pats that offense is unstoppable.

I would start Gordon and CJ.
Olsen over Barnidge. Cleveland is playing the Denver D.
As awful as that offense has looked their D is playing incredibly well. So far they've only allowed double digit points to 1 QB this year.
Should clarify I only need one of the 3RBs, other RB spot is filled by Arian Foster. I'm pretty much thinking the same on the TE situation, Seattle D is tough, but Denver is tougher.

So with Steve Smith being out.. I need a new WR to fill out my line up.
Davonte Adams is available should I pick him up?

To ride your bench and keep Steve Smith company? Sure.
To play this week? Good luck with that.
No, because I'm pretty sure he ain't playing.

Aiken makes more sense probably, as Steve Smith insurance for this week and possibly beyond.

If Jeffery can't go tomorrow, I need an emergency starter at WR.
Best options I immediately saw were Marvin Jones or Ted Ginn. Any suggestions of who to look for?

I'm kind of in the same spot. That's a coin toss between those two. I think Marvin has the potential for more targets. However, Ginn has the potentials for TDs.

I think the Bengals have a better matchup, but you never really know with these sorts of things.
who to start?
Jarvis Landry @ Tennessee
Anquan Boldin vs. Baltimore
Boldin has been hit or miss but I think Baltimore could be a good match up for him. they give up a lot to WRs. you'd think after the game against the Giants Kaep will try to get Boldin going again but who fucking knows with that team.
however Landry has been more consistent and hopefully that offense trends upwards after a meh start to the season. he still doesn't have a TD yet this season though. also I think Tennessee's defense looks more formidable on paper compared to Baltimore's but I feel like that's inflated a lot due to their game against Tampa week 1.

Let's go Knile Davis, I need a longshot.

Then I would go with Gordon over the other 2.
Seattles pass D is great but usually against WR's. I have Eifert on my team and he destroyed them last week but that was mostly because they were focused on AJ

Bell had a similar 4 game stretch last year. Dengelo Williams in I believe 2008 had probably the best 8 week stretch since LT,
Freeman's performance so far reminds me of him.

So I want to bench Travis Benajmin this week. Going up against Denver, I just don't see him doing much. Been stashing DeSean Jackson and he might return this week. Picked up Crowder in case he doesn't.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
I have this exact same dilemma. My thoughts are that the consistency of targets/catches for Landry means you start him PPR (slight edge), but for standard league start Boldin. Wild card is I see Dophins coach change leading to being more balanced - more running, but probably less throwing (but more effective when they do).
Desean homerun balls mean if he plays, I would start him in standard.
PPR - take benjamin, he gets tons of targets.

Not against the best corners in the NFL he won't.

I've got several stashed players I'm hopping pay off when back from injury in the next few weeks.
That's my concern. Thankfully, I also have Denver's D and I'm hoping they get a shutout at some point this year.

I can see Freeman's yardage contribution remaining consistent throughout the remainder of this season but the touchdown pace? That has to regress because of how much of an anomaly it is compared to the rest of the league.
He's had 9 TDs through four weeks. At best you shouldn't be expecting anything more than 6-8 touchdowns through the remaining 6 games he plays until the fantasy playoffs. Of course, you really shouldn't be expecting more than that from any player apart from your QBs or a special talent like Gronk.

Carson vs Pitt or
Luck vs NE
E:: I think DJax out. I have him on Yahoo and it shows 0 for projected

I'd go Carson. Luck's likely playing tomorrow, but he's going to be rusty.

I would go with your stud. You know they will be behind in that game, so they will throw. You drafted Luck to play him, don't let him rot on your bench.

Someone dropped DeSean Jackson to the waivers in my league and I managed to snag him.
Any updates on Beckham yet?

I have a similar decision between Bradford vs Giants and Luck. Bradford has been a beast the last two weeks but I just can't not start my number 1 QB against a team he wants to crush. I'm going with Luck today.

Total doofus question, but does streaming defenses actually work? It feels shaky because anything can happen.
That said I have the steelers defense and a bad feeling about today.

Should I put smith in over Aiken?
And should I put Yeldon in?
Neither are 100%
