Reeses Pieces : 9/25/2016 8:10 am
Game day is here! My current dilemma in a 12-team PPR league: I have McCoy, Gordon, Ware at RB. Hopkins, Cooks, Decker, and Snead at WR. I already started Hopkins Thursday and he did not produce. I need to start 2 RB 1 WR and 1 Flex. Any help would be appreciated. Good luck to all today.
I would go with

Ware, Gordon, cooks and decker. Marshall is hobbled and decker is a td machine, although the weather in KC is supposed to suck.

Do you guys think Darkwa has a chance to produce today? I just picked him up and am desperate to start a decent rb

What do you think about Eli today vs. Carr? I'm 0-2 and need a win. Not starting Carr last week cost me.

I agree with this. Plus, doesn't Snead play on Monday and his availability is in question so you really cannot start him. I think Gordon is a must start. McCoy and Ware is a toss up for me.
I'm benching Snead  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 8:34 am : link
can't risk it. I have to chose from Riddick or Snead in his absence.

Riddick @ Packers - (they have 4 starting defenders out today Clay Matthews, their NT and DE as well as a Safety).

Drake vs Cleveland - Drake was named the starter this morning.

Raiders defense is awful so they'll probably be down and Carr will throw a lot. But hard to discount the possibility of Eli having a day given no Jennings
Meant to say Riddick or Drake

I'm Benching Snead also...  
BamaBlue : 9/25/2016 8:44 am : link
My choices are:

Cruz vs. Redskins
Quincy Enunwa (Jets) at Chiefs

I'm leaning toward Enunwa since Marshall is out. Thoughts?
I'd go Riddick between the two.  
Miami_JintsFan : 9/25/2016 8:46 am : link
I'm just not sure what the workload will be for Drake. Depending on what others here say, I may need to pick him up and take a chance.

Non PPR
Hyde @ Sea
Drake vs Cle
Darkwa vs Wash
I like drake of those 3  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 8:55 am : link
Hyde against Seattle is primed for a bad game, and I'd never start Darkwa until you know what you have in him.

It is confirmed that Marshall is out?
Would anyone drop Powell for Darkwa?  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/25/2016 9:22 am : link
Considering Forte's workload - bench pickup.
I have a really tough decision here..  
EricJ : 9/25/2016 9:24 am : link
in a standard league.
From this list, I need TWO WRs and ONE FLEX

AJ Green - vs Denver
TY Hilton - vs SanDiego
Marvin Jones - @ Green Bay
Travis Benjamin - @ Indy
Michael Floyd - @ Buf
Spencer Ware - @Jets
Tevin Coleman - @New Orleans

I know this sounds crazy but I have actually been considering benching AJ Green in favor of one of the other guys since AJs matchup is horrible.

It is not really that crazy. I know AJ is a stud and you should probably play him but this would be a rare case.
I'd play the first 3  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 9:31 am : link
play your best players
Need 3 WRs  
larglin43 : 9/25/2016 9:31 am : link
T Benjamin vs IND
J Landry vs CLE
L Fitz vs Buff
A Robinson vs BAL

Landry is going to get A LOT of targets. I would bench Fitz.
ok here is another tough decision  
EricJ : 9/25/2016 9:37 am : link
in another league PPR. I have to bench one of these guys and I am actually leaning towards Gurley

Gurley @ Tampa
Lacy vs Detroit
Ingram vs Atlanta

This is the problem when you have teams that had depth. Decisions on game day.
I think this is the week Gurley gets going.  
Miami_JintsFan : 9/25/2016 9:43 am : link
Lacy will get a ton of touches today. I'd sit Ingram. Wish I had this problem...lol

I'm sitting Marshall. My options are...
Maclin vs Jets
T.Williams @ Indy

I would. But I have a soft spot for Giants. And Darkwa has shown the potential to be a #1 back in his limited opportunities, whereas Powell has not.
Robbie...  
BamaBlue : 9/25/2016 9:48 am : link
Marshall is not out (yet). Rotoworld says he'll 'get snaps', but it's unlikely he's going to get touches.
Here's another way to look at Powell vs Darkwa  
Milton : 9/25/2016 9:49 am : link
If you drop Powell, chances are either he or someone just like him will always be available in free agency. Whereas if Darkwa has a big day today, you will never get another shot at him unless you're #1 on the waiver wire on Tuesday.
Fanduel question  
bigblue1124 : 9/25/2016 9:54 am : link
I am new at FF and recently started playing on Fanduel. I will admit I am not very good but still in the plus catagory so I really cant complain learning and erning is a good thing I guess.

My question is I have Luck as one of my starting QB's today should I replace him with his injury questions or do you think I should be ok?
I don't think darkwa has proven anything  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 9:56 am : link
let alone being a #1 RB. Until he can pass protect, he has no chance taking any reps away from Vereen.

I have a different take on this Milton..
Powell is proven. Not only in his production but also in the Jets' willingness to use him. Also, Forte is a guy that gets hurt. If you want to think long term, then for me it is Powell. Powell also catches passes so if you are in a PPR league another reason to lean towards him.
If Gurley can't I get it going  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 10:00 am : link
against Tampa, then I'd start benching him. But I couldn't sit him this week.
Agree withy EricJ  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 10:01 am : link
Darkwa would need both Jennings and Vereen to be out to be fantasy relevant. And if hat happened I'm guessing g Perkins would start being worked in.

The Jets love Powell and sooner or later the carries will catch up to Forte or they will take away reps to give to Powell.
Powell vs. Darkwa...  
BamaBlue : 9/25/2016 10:07 am : link
I was going to start Matt Asiata in a PPR league. When I found-out Jennings was out, both Darkwa and Vereen were available. I dropped Powell and grabbed Vereen off waivers. I think he's more likely to get a some throws and should be able to run well against the Redskins defense.

Vereen is a different story. In PPR his splits when he's the lead back are very good, a must-start as a RB2.
Watkins out  
pjcas18 : 9/25/2016 11:05 am : link
per Schefter.

I would cut him, but his injury doesn't sound serious, so I wait, and waste a spot on my bench.

I think Darkwa will be used in the Jennings role...  
Milton : 9/25/2016 11:24 am : link
And Vereen will stay in the role he's always had. So if you were gonna start Jennings, I would start Darkwa instead.

There was a two game stretch last year when he looked like the best back on the roster and then he got hurt and that was that. If he gets the reps and avoids injuries, I could see Jennings getting the Wally Pipp treatment. My question isn't Darkwa's talent, but his ability to stay healthy.
And even if you don't trust Darkwa enough to start  
Milton : 9/25/2016 11:26 am : link
I still think he's a better stash than Powell.
They like Perkins  
UConn4523 : 9/25/2016 11:30 am : link
and he's more talented. Both players have issues but they are almost certain to give Perkins a split on carries if Jennings and Vereen were both inactive.

Powell is the guy if Forte is hurt. Sometimes it's just a numbers game which is why I go Powell for a stash. Jets also lean on the run more than the Giants.

Would you guys start McKinnon over Jeffrey? I can move a WR out if my flex to make it happen. I also have no other options if Jeffrey gets downgraded at gametime because it's Sun night.

No. Supposedly Asiata is the starter. And they do not have a great matchup. Stick with Jeffery even with their QB situation.
can i get some starting rb advice?  
Jerz44 : 9/25/2016 12:29 pm : link
