Who to start, Who To sit

[Clmraven]

Kinda surprised it took this long for one of these threads to pop up but better late than never,

Anyway need some input on flex this week it's between Allen Robinson and devante Adams in a 1 point per reception league

[BmoreBird22]

Devante Adams. I think Robinson will be a target vacuum, but Adams is playing with a far more proven quarterback. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'd role with Adams as well

[-Truth-]

The bad news? I sat Tyler Eifert. The good news? I started Travis Kelce. Definitely rewarded me for believing in them.

I only have one QB on my roster and that's Tom Brady and it's not looking good as he goes up against a Buffalo defense in Buffalo.

Some options on the market, Palmer, Tyrod, Kaepernick.

Any suggestions?

It's tough to sit Brady regardless of the options. If you're intent on going with another option, however, Taylor has the best match up on paper considering that he's at home and the Patriots defense was porous despite facing an offense without Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant. That being said, it's still dicey considering that we've yet to see his floor. Kaepernick has a favorable match up as well, but if last night is any indication, the 49ers may be intent on running the ball. Granted they'll be facing a high powered offense and may have to throw more often if they fall behind. The field in Pittsburgh is typically in woeful condition so hopefully it won't affect Kaepernick's ability to scramble. Palmer against Chicago may be the safest bet as the Bears were picked by Green Bay. Though Palmer will be out of the dome and in cool weather, and it's difficult to bypass two running QBs for one that stands still.

That being said, if I were in your shoes, I'd still roll with Brady. He has a tall task ahead of him, but there were actually some encouraging takeaways in the Colts game. For one, Andrew Luck's partly-makeshift offensive line was surprisingly stout in pass protection. In 49 drop backs, he was sacked, hit or hurried on just 9 snaps. The INTs were the result of an underthrow to T.Y. Hilton and a high throw that was tipped to the DB by the WR, so the turnovers weren't plays that were specifically caused by the defense. Certainly wouldn't blame you if you went with one of the three above, but it's tough to pull the plug on the highest scoring player from the first week.

I'm gonna roll with Brady. Another dilemma.

I need two running backs;

Justin Forsett

CJ Anderson

Carlos Hyde

I was gonna go with Hyde and Forsett.

Probably the best choice. Hyde has a juicy match up and is nearly impossible to sit following his break out and Anderson will be reportedly more spelled than usual given that he's dealing with a toe injury on a short week. He's also facing a stout defense.

I'd agree.  Forsett and Hyde will be the best match up for this week.  Kansas City's got a tough defense and could cause some problems for Anderson.

Who should I start.  Danny Woodhead vs. Cincinnati or Joseph Randel vs. the Eagles.

 

I'm seriously considering starting Danny Woodhead, but I'm going back and forth on that one as well.  I'm going to use a lifeline and ask my trusted ravens fans.

I think I've settled on Randle due to the matchup and OL of the Cowboys.

I prefer Randle's match up a little more. Woodhead will get the majority of targets out of the backfield and Lance Dunbar will take targets away from Randle. That being said, Cincinnati was terrific in stopping the run last week and the Chargers had some issues with their OL. Geno Atkins and Co. may cause some trouble for Woodhead.

Is your league PPR?

 

If so I'd go Woodhead. Don't forget that he's also the redzone back for SD (8 carries last week. Gordon had zero). I think he could get you around 13 points.

I agree that the key. I would expect wouldhead to catch quite a few balls against Cincinnati regardless of rushing total

[Clmraven]

Should I go Jordan Cameron or ASJ? I was thinking Cameron but the jags completely shut down Olsen last week so I'm a little scared, it's a 1 PPR league.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the Jaguars did to Olsen last week. Olsen is the only legitimate option is the Panthers passing game. So the defense focused on him.

 

That's a tough choice though. I'd probably go ASJ only because the Saints are going to point up some points. So TB will need to throw the ball.

Let's also not forget a big tight end is a young quarterback's best friend.

[FastEddie]

Please help!

 

Looking at our WR options at the moment, makes me think BP is going to have a field day with targets and yardage down the field. I think we will be seeing his return right around the corner and was thinking about adding him to my league.

 

My only option to drop would be Victor Cruz...thoughts?

[GhostofGrbac]

The Giants just released Preston Parker so I'm assuming that means Cruz will be back soon. But who knows if Cruz has anything left.

 

I think you can wait a few weeks to pick up Perriman. If you're looking for someone to contribute right now I would look at dropping Cruz for Rishard Marshall. He's had double digit points in the 1st 2 weeks.

[Purple Punishment]

Should I start Julio or Antiono Bryant? I'm thinking Jones is going against a weak Dallas D and the Rams will be pinning their ears back to get to ben

Read the previous two posts and saw Rishard Marshall and Antonio Bryant. I assume the first is Rishard Matthews. Who's the second? Can't imagine benching Julio Jones.

I'm sorry I meant to type in Antonio Brown it was a typo

No problem. If you don't mind me asking, why would you have to bench either of the two? Unless your league has only one spot at WR, I don't foresee a scenario where either of the two isn't a must-start.

It has 3 but I'm playing against a cap. So it's between them two. It's not for money, I play weekly free head to heads on fanduel

Ah, I see. Honestly, it's too tough to bet against Brown. Jones' match up looks solid at first glance but the Cowboys have been surprisingly solid on the back end and they did limit Odell Beckham Jr. to under 50 yards. I'd probably roll with Brown given that he's the most consistent WR I may have ever seen in terms of the every week floor, but I couldn't blame you either way obviously.

Who to sit: any one of the 6 worthless RBs I have on my roster.

Who to start:  (crickets chirping) ...

 

RBs are always a tough play and in short supply, but this year so far is crazy. So many teams seem incapable of running the ball. My 2nd and 3rd round picks: C.J. Anderson and Lamar Miller are shaping up to be my team's demise.

Oh I know! I played Abdullah this week after Hyde ran wild on the Vikings and he almost lost the week for me

You NEVER sit either! Fantasy blasphemy...

Brown is always going to get his, but if Falcons are at home, I might play Julio against a Cowboys who I think will turn the ball over.

Funny you say that ... After C.J. took that beating against us, had a short week and was playing another stout run D, I knew I couldn't start him, so I went with Abdullah. 

 

It paid off ... Abdullah got 4.5 and C.J. got 3.5 ... 

[RaineV1]

I have both Crocket Gilmore and Martellus Bennett, and I'm not sure which to start at TE. The Ravens offense is always risky in fantasy due to their up and down nature, and the Bengals will be planning to keep Gilmore covered after what happened last week. That said, not sure I'd trust Clausen against the Seahawks' defense. They will take away any easy throws.
