WDIS: 1 RB & 1 WR decision (1 Viewer)

Standard scoring Yahoo league, I need one RB2 and one WR3.

RB: Forte vs Seattle or Crowell  @ Washington (Crowell is tied for 2nd in the league for rushing yards.)

WR: Fuller vs Tennessee or Crowder vs Cleveland 

I know the conventional wisdom on both choices but the match-ups and under appreciated performances for my alternatives have me second guessing.  I'd love to hear others' thoughts. 

 
Forte and Fuller
That's how I'm leaning.  It's the safe play and I often get in trouble when I veer away from conventional wisdom. On the other hand...

-- Forte had an off week last week. The Jets whole offense was in disarray and this week they face Seattle.  (Counterpoint: Seattle gave up 24 points to Carlos Hyde last week.)

-- Crowell's rushing yards through three weeks are tied for 2nd in the league.  He's also the entire Brown's offense and they are facing Washington's porous run D. (Counterpoint: He's the entire Brown's offense and they may fall behind early and have to throw the ball.)

-- Fuller looks like a star in the making but Houston's offense was a complete disaster last week and Fuller flat out dropped some easy passes.  (Counterpoint: It was one week and Tennessee is a good opponent to bounce back against.)

-- Crowder looked amazing last week and faces Cleveland's terrible secondary this week.  (Counterpoint: Washington can never be trusted on the fantasy front.)

Forte and Fuller likely have the higher floor and Crowell and Crowder the higher ceiling?

 
I would actually go with Crowell (Washington is giving up a ton of TD's to RB's) and Fuller (bigger game possibility).  If it was a PPR I would lean Crowder over Fuller.
