Champ game advice (1 Viewer)

[GGB4U]

14 team league. Non ppr. Rushing, receiving - 1 pt per 10 yds, bonus 3 pts @ 100yds. Passing- 1 pt per 20 yds, 3 bonus pts @ 300 yds. All TDs are 6 pts.

1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, 1PK, 1DEF

Opponent has Brady for QB.

My roster:

QB- D Brees, E Manning

RB- L McCoy, L Blount, Dion Lewis, Paul Perkins, M Gillislee, TJ Yeldon

WR- Julio Jones, D Hopkins, Malcom Mitchell, R Cobb, Dontrelle Inman, Steve Smith

TE- T Eifert

K- Matt Bryant

D- Seattle

Thinking to start: Brees, McCoy, Blount, J Jones (if active), Hopkins or Mitchell (Mitchell because my opponents QB is Brady), Dion Lewis, Eifert (if active), Bryant, Seattle

I have 3 Patriots on my team, since my opponent has Brady against the Jets,  should that affect my decisions on who to start?

Thanks for any advice.

Brees

McCoy/Blount

Hopkins over Mitchell IMO. Hopkins was targetted a ton once Savage went in.

I think its a huge mistake to start Patriots just because you are facing Brady. Start your best players every week. Which are:

Brees

McCoy/Blount

Julio/Hopkins

Eifert(assuming he plays, should pick up a backup just in case)

Inman(If Julio is a surprise scratch, move Inman to WR and start Lewis at flex)

There's also an argument that you try to eat all of NE RB points by starting Blount and Lewis at flex, I'd consider that in PPR, but I'd be more weary here.
