I need to start 2 of the 3

non ppr - std scoring 

What do you think?

Michael Thomas ( vs Chi)

Amari Cooper  (@ Buf)

Joe Mixon  (vs Ind)

 
On the safe side - Mixon & Thomas.

If you feel like Carr + Oakland will bounce back, go with a bit riskier two: Cooper/Mixon.

Thomas will probably be covered by an improved rookie CB that played exceptionally well last week against Carolina. So he's a bit risky and hasn't seen a TD in a few weeks - but nonetheless is the top WR for Saints. Cooper was in a drought, but can feed of last game if the momentum is rolling with Oakland - and going up against a Bills defense that has been lenient to WRs. Mixon is facing an extremely soft rush defense (Colts), so he could be looking in for a big pay day. My safe bet would be Thomas + Mixon because they'll get you yardage regardless (just probably no TD for Thomas).

 
I would play Thomas, Mixon.

Same here, I'd sit Cooper. He was great last week, but that doesn't completely erase his awful season to date.

 
Thomas is the top choice, and I would go with Cooper.  If you're on twitter, go find a tweet earlier today from Sigmund Bloom but it was regarding the fact that Buffalo has a corner out this week (his name escapes me) and Sig's response was to the effect of "Fire up Cooper for another week" or something like that.  Mixon only got 7 carries last week, and was voicing his displeasure to the media afterwards to he may be in a bit of a Martavis Bryant doghouse situation this week.  I'd rather wait and see a week on Mixon's usage if I had another decent option, and I think based on Sig's tweet earlier that Cooper is that decent option for you
