Couldn't find a thread for today, so thought I'd get it started. Point me to existing thread and I'll delete.
My question starts at the TE position in a PPR.
TE Options: Jack Doyle vs Julius Thomas
I have Eifert stashed away, but he is unlikely to play I would think.
At RB I am currently running with Christine Michaels and Melvin Gordon with Todd Gurley, Jacquizz Rodgers, Chris Ivory, and the injured Doug Martin on the bench.
I don't think I'd start Michael @ARI over Gurley vs NYG.
True and I have him stashed away in one league too. However, I would not chance using him in his first game back. Would rather go with a guy who has been giving consistent production at or near double digits.
If your choice is between Eifert who is "starting" in his first week back vs a guy who has no track record at all... then sure go with Eifert.
I think a 20 carry, 80 yard, 1 TD game for Gurley could be realistic. Not game-breaking in a real-life scenario but enough for fantasy
I wish I knew what was going on with Riddick. Picked up Washington in case he can't go, but I need that roster spot for a QB as I don't want to drop one of Smallwood/DeAngelo/Dixon. Too much potential value for a 1 week QB rental.
Thoughts? My team is pretty good and has a good chance to make the playoffs, so I'm willing to put up with a few down weeks for Brown while Roethlisberger is out. (I have Cooks, Allen Robinson, and Marvin Jones, so I don't even need to play Brown if he falls off a cliff for these few weeks.)
West just looks too good. I don't see any reason for them to even ease Dixon into the rotation with West running like that.
And you can always pick him back up can't you? My league is FAAB so I can drop and re-get anyone if I want them enough.
In other news though apparently he gained back all of the weight he lost in the offseason sigh - back up from 235 to 265
Matt Forte
Arian Foster
Theo Riddick
Darren Sproles
Bobby Rainey
Knile Davis
Mike Gilisee

I'm a fan. I know Brown's production may go down a bit but he's still their top guy - even on bad teams top receivers put up ok numbers.
It's funny those I have literally those exact same receivers minus Robinson (incl Brown)

Arian Foster
Theo Riddick
Darren Sproles

I wouldn't touch starting Davis tonight. I'd start Riddick and Gilisee and revise as needed this weekend.
Oh, and I'd start Gurley too.

It's a hard spot because Riddick was out last week and didn't practice yesterday. You're right that Davis isn't a good option because he's only had a few days with the team, but he is their only healthy RB right? Bears run defense isn't good either?
Yea, you're probably right. My team is actually good cause I went with zero RB strategy but it's not fun picking this sort of crap to start each week.
Matt Forte
Arian Foster - doubt he gets a big workload after Ajayi's performance last week. They gotta stick with the hot hand (at least early) and BUF's D is pretty good
Theo Riddick
Darren Sproles
Bobby Rainey
Knile Davis - only 2 days of practice with the team, but the only healthy RB. I'd probably gamble with him.
Mike Gilisee - if McCoy's out, he'd probably be my top choice from this group, but too early to know
RB - Hill vs CLE or Gillislee @ MIA (assuming McCoy's out)
7.7
12.5
1.6
2.8
15.3
Allen had 6 and 4 targets in Doyle's 2 worst games. If he is out, pretty easy to expect Doyle to get 10+ again.
Last time I tried something like that with a Packer RB was starting Rondell Mealey (in place of an injured Ahman Green). That didn't work out all that great.
Also stashed Starks in my other league.
1- Yeldon
2- Ivory
3- Don Jackson
4- Sproles
5- Mathews
6- Gillese
Thinking Gillese + Yeldon for now due to the poor defenses they play. One thing about sproles is that minny has given up a ton of receiving yards to RB's
Hoyer at GB tonight?
So you wouldn't start Jeffery this week over a guy like E. Sanders?
But I think he was referring to benching Wilson in favor of Hoyer. Most leagues have guys on waivers that are likely to outproduce Hoyer any given week so starting him on the road in a Thursday night matchup is gutsy.
Howard @GB
Yeldon vs OAK
Normally I'd start Howard since he won the starting job, but Oakland is giving up almost 7 yards per play and the most yards per game in the league.
Howard @GB
Yeldon vs OAK
I think I'm going to yank Howard from my lineup. Start Yeldon. Yeldon sucked last week, and Ivory vultured the TD, but I think they'll have to pass a lot and that means more Yeldon.
