Personally I risk it with Henderson and hope he lives up to his draft status. I should probably give more credit to Bam but, I just don't trust that offense beyond McBride ATM.
Henderson>Bam
Chaka

Both great options. Flip a coin or just go with the one you enjoy watching most.

IDK if Flacco is out I might bench Brown. If Flacco plays, I'd be tempted to bench Warren because of the matchup. The problem is there is a lot of uncertainty with Monangai and you can be pretty confident that Warren will see 15+ opportunities.
Brown>Warren>Monangai

I think it has to be Deebo with McLaurin out. Six targets and a couple runs seem like baseline IMO.
After that it gets muddy. I kinda want to say Watson but, that's not based on any logic.
Maybe the KC/BUF game is high scoring?
Yeah, no real idea for your #2. My guy says
Watson>Worthy>Wan'Dale

Footballguy
Agreed. I was going to say Deebo for sure…then Watson next.

Don't like the idea of dropping either because last week wasn't very illuminating for their usage going forward. They favored Jones in snap count and carries so, I guess Mason is the right drop but, that's a very tough call.
I think I'd go Caleb if you need ceiling, and Darnold if you need floor.
Think Schultz a little banged up. Bet Pitts does some damage underneath. They'll put Gonzo on London and their run D is pretty tough.
BTJ for sure with Hunter out now and then it's flip a coin on who you think is getting deep...Watson or Jameson. My money is this is a Jameson week after the OC coordinator has said "I've failed him."
Would have gone Lamar...which I did in two different leagues.
T. Hendo and BTJ for sure.
Would definitely go Worthy. Think he'll get a lot of underneath stuff against BUF. Maybe some end arounds.
Deboo with McClaurin out. Somebody has to catch the ball.
Have a feeling Watson gets deep too.

I sticking with Rico. He's just been so locked in.

Based on last week's snap share and utilization, I think I bench Mason.
Tracy>Jones>Mason
===================
Bowers. Fine matchup and he's healthy.
Bowers>Gadsden>Kittle
=============={{{{==
It's close but, I have the most faith in Sutton. If I'm looking for splash scores then I might risk it with Worthy.
Sutton>Worthy

Main thing I was thinking for flex is whether I play a second TE. Gadsden has been on fire and Kittle is solid, so if I start Bowers at TE I wasn’t sure how much I consider them over Sutton or Worthy even though there’s no premium bonus.

OK, now I definitely wouldn’t recommend starting Kyler
Jeanty>Monangai>Hunt
Thanks, this truly feels like a coin flip.

Full PPR, I'd lean Robinson. I think they just don't really have any weapons.

Hunt.

Go with the major international cities: London and Rome

Monangai and Henderson.
I, like everyone else, fully expect Vrabel to screw us. But you have to play Henderson this weekend if you've been holding him. JCM isn't giving you much anyways.
Chaka
Footballguy
I'm very tempted to say Monangai because of matchup and opportunity. But, I also have visions of JCM. It's different when you're the starter.
Hunt has the best TD chance by a good margin but, I have trouble seeing a big yardage game from him.
Jeanty's coming off the bye and will get 20 touches. I'm just not that confident in what to expect from the Raiders.
This is really tough. I think I would go with
Jeanty>Monangai>Hunt

Gadsden is on fire, I just wonder when the Chargers offense will pivot to another pass catcher. QJ & Keenan have also had nice runs with them. I just have trouble seeing Gadsden continue to get 8 targets/game.
But, Gadsden is certainly in the conversation with Sutton & Worthy and he has a much better matchup.
Chaka
Footballguy
Monangai and not really close. Great opportunity and great matchup.
Monangai>Henderson>JCM

I have trouble putting Wan'Dale and Diggs in over London or Odunze.
Odunze>London>Diggs>Wan'Dale

Deebo and then flip a coin between Watson and Worthy. Could really come down to game script and I might lean Worthy simply because Packers should stomp Panthers without needing to throw much.
Deebo->Worthy->Watson->Robinson

Kareem should see more opportunities and looks like the goal line specialist in KC.
Hunt>Charbonet

ok, just for giggles:
12 team PPR. Need a flex from this group:
1. Addison @ DET (JJM makes it risky)
2. Jamo vs MIN (7th against the pass, and I have ARSB)
3. Knight at Cowboys. (AZ has said he’s going to start, but that it would be a RBBC hot hand rotation)
Presently have Addison in.

Worthy & Deebo for the most upside/best floor.

Tough call. But, I lean Charbonet pretty comfortably. I'm more confident in his utilization. He'll probably see 14ish opportunities whereas I'm slightly concerned that Wan'Dale will have a tougher go being the focus of defenses unless, until Tyrone Tracy gives defenses a reason not to.
Charbs>Wan'Dale

Odunze for sure. London and Diggs close for me ... I'll say London.
Hunt
WanDale
Broncos
I'd bench Bill. Live dangerously and roll with Hendo.
Chaka
Footballguy
For me Bam isn't an option because of the hot hand issue as well as the Cards offense isn't very good.
JAMO!!!!!
McCarthy is a concern but, ultimately Addison is very talented and he's the clear #2 option for Minnesota who, could easily be in a trail game script.
Addison>JAMO!!!>Bam

I don't think you're overthinking but, I still go with Cook. I mean, how can you not?
Cook>Pickens>London
Frankthetank

Full PPR. Nico Collins vs Denver or Chase Brown vs Chicago for my flex? Leaning Nico without Surtain playing but Brown has been much better with Flacco at QB.
Pretty close
I'll give the edge to Chase in what should be a higher scoring game
Gotta do the Cooking on Sunday
Cook>Pickens>London
