What do you guys think of Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman vs the Panthers, Matt Forte vs the Seahawks, Charles Sims vs the Broncos and TJ Yeldon vs the Colts? It's essentially pick three because my WRs took a hit this week.

I've pretty much settled on my guys, but I'm just curious about what everyone else thinks. It's a really rough week for RBs in general with all the decent ones having tough matchups so it's an interesting discussion this week.

If I had to pick 3, forte, sims and a Falcons RB. If it's PPR, I might lean towards Coleman because panthers are going to stuff the run.

It's not PPR, but those were the three I had in mind - probably with Freeman over Coleman. The next few weeks are looking pretty rough for RBs in general.

what do y'all think I should do with deangelo Williams do you think he will still be a good fantasy player or should I try and trade him away 

Last year when Bell came back he easily got the majority of carries and all the catches. Williams probably won't have much fantasy value after this weekend. That said, could be worth stashing him in case Bell gets injured.

Think it's safe to drop Josh Gordon?

Yes. Drop him for now since he's going to be in rehab for awhile. He might get picked up by a team later in the season if they have injury issues or want a spark, but you can get him again if that happens.

Can't play him but you have to keep him. #1 backup in the league. And Bell has missed time to injury often. 

[RavensPunkXVX]

Flex, pick one.

Carlos Hyde, Will Fuller, Sterling Shepard, Dennis Pitta, Willie Snead, or Christine Michael.

[Davesta]

I just picked up Terrence west off waivers after hearing he got the start. Raiders have a pretty bad run defense. Should I just stash for now? Or start west over tevin coleman v panthers ?

West does have a good matchup but I would still go with Coleman

I went with my gut and chose west. It paid off! Haha

I benched Fuller. I can't win with this guy. Lo

Joe Flacco or Kirk Cousins? 3 points for 300 yards 4 points for 350 and 5 for 400. TDs are worth 6.

Since they're playing each other, I'd go Flacco. I don't think Washington's offense is going to do that well against the Ravens' defense. Flacco will have the easier game, as long as his o-line holds up.

[RavensPunkXVX]

We're getting Dixon back which is huge considering Washington is giving up tons of yards to backs, so that should open up our play action for big plays. How is Hall and Breeland? I know they had some injuries. 

Edit: Forgot Hall was out for the season.

I'm riding with flacco till the end of my league so my opinion is invalid. Lol

I'm of the mindset that Gurley is always a potential back to post a huge week, so I'm always rolling him.

However, he's been facing an absurd amount of stacked boxes.

[RavensPunkXVX]

Carlos Hyde, think he'll do good tonight? I have Jordan Howard and CJ Anderson starting over him

[Purple Punishment]

Would anyone start Jordan Reed against us this weekend?

I wouldn't. We actually have people that can stop TEs now, and the defense will focus on him. I guess it would partially depend on who else you have, but if your backup is decent, probably best to use him.

Ravens or Patriots defense?

I'm leaning towards Patriots. After being embarrassed they're going to play with a massive chip on their shoulders against the Browns. And I'm expecting a returning Brady to run up the score, making the Browns pass a lot (so sacks and ints for the Patriots D). This is going to be a statement game for them.

[Purple Punishment]

Brian Hoyer with no Wideouts or Derrick Anderson

I would do with Anderson

Phillip Rivers vs Denver or Dak Prescott vs Green Bay.

Denver's pass defense scares me and Prescott might have a higher floor this week. Thoughts?

I'd be looking at Dak. The Packers can bottle up the run better than the Giants (who kept Zeke quiet in week one) so I could see Dallas airing it out a bit more.

Also I'm not sure what Rivers' record is like against Denver, but I'd be a little wary of the Broncos being familiar enough with him to have a bit more success stopping him.

Brandon Marshall (vs cardinals) or Demaryius Thomas (vs chargers)

Who's your other WRs that you're picking between these two? Unless they're amazing I'd say start both Marshall and Thomas. If you have to pick though, I guess I'd have to go with Thomas. Marshall will likely have more passes thrown his way, but Thomas has a bigger chance of making big plays against that Chargers' defense.

My other receiver is kelvin Benjamin (vs saints)

Glad I did end up sitting Rivers (as well as Benjamin and Gates) for that game against Denver.

[-Truth-]

I've been offered Jamaal Charles, Greg Olsen and Chris Hogan for T.Y. Hilton and LaGarette Blount. It's .5 PPR with an extra Flex. My other WRs are Antonio Brown, Allen Robinson, Mike Evans, Larry Fitzgerald, and Steve Smith Sr. My other RBs are Terrance West, Christine Michael and Theo Riddick. My current TE is Zach Ertz and Hunter Henry is available via FA. Do you pull the trigger?
