One option I've been kicking around is punting at RB2 because of Bell's high price. It allows you to stack studs in other positions:
Rodgers/Zeke/James White/Julio/Davante/Baldwin/Witten/Boswell/Pats
Just put together an alternative lineup for tournament play.
Dak. GB gives up a lot of points to quarterbacks, and Dak is a threat to run one in. With the Pack offense on the field, he might have to throw the ball a lot. Could make a case for a lot of the QBs -- Rodgers and Wilson jump to mind -- but a decent value play.
Le'Veon and Zeke. Two studs that could/should score over 20 points. Beyond these two, I'm not sure how to bet the RBs. I do like Blount, but worry that he'll be splitting touches with White and Lewis. Not sure what to do with the Falcons' backs, who could fare well, but Sea has a tough defense.
Davante Adams. Gotta grab a slice of the Packers' passing offense.
Doug Baldwin. Same. The Falcons' pass defense isn't that good, and Baldwin could play a sustaining role on the team.
Michael Floyd. Here's where I'm punting. Figured that few folks will have him, and Brady could target an excited, talented WR who wants to prove himself in his last few games.
Witten. Don't love him, but he presents a reasonable floor.
Steelers. I'd prefer NE or KC, in that order, but couldn't figure out how to squeeze them in. With these offenses, I'm not sure that I want to downgrade some of my other starters to upgrade at defense.
Novak or Boswell or Santos. Cheap as possible at kicker. I like Bryant quite a bit, but I'd rather not pay an extra $700.
Guys I worry about missing at the price:
1. A better QB. Rodgers and Wilson are reasonably priced, but GB usually -- though not always -- gives up points to QBs.
2. Brown/Julio/Cobb/Tyreek. Cobb worries me -- before last week, he's been at best hit or miss, so I'm not sure about the value. Brown or Julio could easily blow up, but I trust Zeke and Bell more.
3. A NE running back. But which one?
Thoughts?
