Eli or Matt Ryan?

Pick 3:

AJ Green

Evans

Cooks

Shorts

Hurns

Ginn
Tough call on the QB's. My only fear with Eli is that he's capable of putting up a real stinker against a good defense, where he throws 3+ INT's. Ryan MIGHT be the safer bet, but Eli probably has more upside, if that makes sense.

I'd go with the top 3 WR's you listed.
Makes complete sense on your QB comment, which makes it so tough for me.

I am afraid of Evans floor, to be honest. He has had some stinkers this year, but with VJax out, he has to get targets, no?. Hurns has been more productive, so I am torn.
Yeah, and TNF games tend to be brutal, in some cases. I wouldn't worry much about that, but Evans has had a tendency to not show up on rare occasions.

For what it's worth, Hurns was the only other guy I would consider. Ginn is all-or-nothing, and even last week, he did all of his damage on two plays. He could easily get nothing.

 
For what it's worth, CBS has Hurns as a "Start" (has scored in 8 of his past 10 games), while Evans is on "Bust Alert." Evans will likely match up against Trumaine Johnson, who played a big part in containing Calvin Johnson last week.

This is what the article says on Evans:

Evans could be in a good situation to soak up targets this week with Jackson out, or he could struggle in a tough matchup with Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who last week helped limit Calvin Johnson to one catch for 16 yards on five targets.
 
Another tough one for me... Need to pick one for my RB2 (PPR):

Woodhead vs MIA

White vs TEN

Fozzy @ NYG

Jennings vs CAR

Vereen vs CAR

Leaning towards Woodhead, but considering White.

Same league, I'm debating between PIT/MIN at both defense and kicker. Leaning towards PIT on both.

QB conundrum - We get limited moves in my league and I have two left... Edelman is on the waivers, kinda want to grab him.

That leaves me with the QB play and I only have one pickup left for the week. I had Luck then Romo and now Eli who I used against Miami, but don't think I should against Carolina.

I can only make one move (assuming I grab Edelman):

Alex Smith @ Balt

Kirk Cousins vs Buff

Eli vs Car

Mariotta @ NE

Kicker

Santos @ Balt

Boswell vs Den
Hello!

 
With Luck ruled out, Im wondering if I should pick up Alex Smith and drop Cutler??? I feel crazy wanting to start Smith but if Ive been starting Cutler to mediocre results this past month.

Need to start 2 of these:

David Johnson - good matchup at Philly, but will Ellington take some touches?

Devonta Freeman - bad in recent weeks but will he turn it around at Jax?

Deangelo Williams - running great but touch matchup vs. Denver, also starting Big Ben and Bryant, not sure if I want too many Pitt eggs in my basket in case Denver dominates

Todd Gurley - any concern with injury, and how good will TB run D be?

Lamar Miller - generally wasn't in discussion over above guys in recent weeks, but could he explode at SD?

Good choice to have, but I think I will make the wrong one...
At moment leaning towards Johnson and Gurley

 
I was hoping I would see someone in a similar situation :) ... help?

Was lucky enough to snag Denard for this week so he's a shoe-in...

Need to pick 1 out of this boom or bust crew... PPR

Woodhead vs. MIA (not much since bye, but should still see 5-7 targets?)

Bernard @ SF (still relies on passing game for production... will Cincy throw it enough?)

Bryce vs CLE (I wish they hadn't signed CMike so this would have been a no-brainer)

Powell @ DAL (this one is intriguing. there should be enough for him and ivory to share, but over any of the options above???)

TIA

Hello!
I'd probably hang on to one move for Week 16, unless you feel that you've got that covered. If so, grab Edelman and either kicker. I like Boswell a lot this week... PIT may have the best overall offense in the league, in terms of mass quantity. I'd like to think that the DEN defense will slow them down just enough to make Boswell have to kick multiple FG's. Hopefully, that offsets the chance that they forego any XP's (which they have done at times).

Eli may be somewhat risky, but I like his chances at home just as much as the other guys you posted. His upside might be higher than the rest.

In PPR, I'd go in this order....

Bernard

Woodhead

Powell

Brown

No telling if Brown will be involved in the passing game, which hurts his PPR value (potentially). The others are really close. The DAL defense has played relatively well (lessening Powell's chances of scoring, in my opinion). SD offense has struggled, so I give the slight edge to Bernard. But, it's close between the top three.

Tough to sit Evans. I'd probably lean towards playing him, just for the upside. Sit Amendola if Edelman plays. If not, it's a tough call. Regardless, I'd play Hilton.

Sims or Woodhead.

 


Going into last week- I was pretty much set in the fact that my two flexes would be Evans & Baldwin & Barnidge would be relegated to my bench (Gronk healthy)



Evans tonight, scares the hell out of me. Matchup alone, Barnidge vs. Seattle, especially w/ Kam probably out, is clearly the better matchup (9th worst vs TEs, STL 3rd best vs WR1s)



Not like I am thrilled with Seattle D running roughshod over JFF and the browns being down 20+ either but that could mean garbage time.



The Vjax injury news makes me feel like 12+ targets are coming tonight and if Evans can catch the ball- he's a lock for 6-75+ type of line...



Would love to hear your thoughts: Evans or Barnidge & why??



.5 ppr

10 yards= 1 pt

td= 6 pt

100 yards= 3 point bonus
STL is a dumpster fire and they'll be lucky to have 15-20K fans in the stands tonight, but Aaron Donald is still a disruptive force, and Janoris and Trumaine are good CBs. I expect this to be a sloppy, low scoring game with the key being which team sticks with the running game the longest. Gurley can wear you out in the second half, and I don't see the Bucs giving Martin only 11 carries again. Love Barnidge this week, especially if Kam is out. With Hartline sidelined you'll likely see Travis Benjamin getting a lot of attention.

Don't necessarily disagree with your thoughts on Evans and his potential for targets, but for me personally I wouldn't put my season on him.
Hope you ignored this & started Evans

:bag:

 
Curious what you think between hill , bryce brown and denard? Choose 1. .5 ppr
Denard is the easy choice here IMO. Assuming of course Yeldon is out.

I have to choose between Lacy, Chark, and Shoelace as a flex. PPR. That's going to drive me crazy up until about 12:59pm this Sunday.

 
ppr, pick 2:

G Olsen

A Robinson

T Lockett

M Forte

Olsen and ARob got me here but they have injury concerns or a tough matchup. Lockett is on a hot streak.

Also, pick 2:

D Johnson (AZ)

T Hightower

M Forte

With Forte's time share his floor seems lower than the other two.

With Ware looking like he is out I think I like Chark the best.

 
Ivory or Allen in standard? Dodds/Tremblay suggesting Allen, Bloom strongly suggesting Ivory. My gut says Ivory vs Dallas, but not sure why DD and MT are so down on him this week and so big on Allen vs that chiefs D.

 
Need two of these three:

McFadden vs. Jets defense

Murray, Oak vs. Green Bay

Hightower vs. Detroit (Monday night)

Thanks everyone!

 
PK McManus or Boswell? I'm in semis with chance at $800...up against Brady and Seattle D this week so need all I can get.
Kickers are so hard to figure out. Id go boswell just because I like Pitts offense more and should have a tough time closing the deal on denvers Defense. I think both teams will be kicking fgs actually......

 
Ivory or Allen in standard? Dodds/Tremblay suggesting Allen, Bloom strongly suggesting Ivory. My gut says Ivory vs Dallas, but not sure why DD and MT are so down on him this week and so big on Allen vs that chiefs D.
Allen just laid a dud last week. I have a hard time seeing any RB having problems running over dallas. Even lacy looked pretty good last week.....

 
League 1 - .5 ppr league 1 per 10 yds and 6 pt tds.

QB - Ryan or Cousins

Flex - Gore, olsen, hurns, snead

League 2 - .5 ppr league 1 per 10 yds and 6 pt tds.

Flex - hightower, snead, hilton, woodhead

TE - J Thomas, Z Miller, B Watson

Hmm thanks. Just strange DD and VT have him that much higher then Ivory. Seattle is tough to run on though, so I give ALlen a pass there. Just don't think the Chiefs d gets that much easier. Probably will go with Ivory.

I can't imagine sitting Ivory especially for Allen in standard. Guy is a major reason I had several teams get in. I'm expecting 100 + and a Td. Can't see how Dallas hangs with the Jets.
