GiantTuff1 : 9/16/2018 8:35 am
Welcome to the "Josh Gordon screwed me edition"... shame on me for gambling on and being seduced by the talent of this tormented soul yet again. Thankfully I think my team is relatively stacked and he only cost me a 12th rounder in a keeper league, so I can recover.

This week I would have started Devonta Freeman or Josh Gordon in the FLEX. Both are out, so who do you think is the best play? Here are the most viable options

Jimmy Graham @ Minn
Kenny Golloday @ SF
Brandon Marshall @ Chi
Austin Ekeler @ Buf
Dede Westbrook vs. NE


Here are my starters

QB - M. Stafford
WR - O. Beckum Jr.
WR - D. Thomas
RB - M. Gordon III
RB - C. McCaffrey
TE - E. Engram
FLEX - ???

K - J. Elliott
DEF - Pittsburgh


Bench
RB - CJ Anderson
RB - D. Freeman (out today)
RB - A. Ekeler
WR- K. Golloday
WR - J. Brown (played Thurs)
WR - B. Marshall
WR - D. Westbrook
TE - J. Graham


IR spots
QB - C. Wentz
WR - J. Gordon

I’m all in on the Kenny Golloday train  
dep026 : 9/16/2018 8:41 am : link
Think he is their best WR already.

Should I bench amari cooper for Alfred Morris?
I'd go with Kenny Golladay  
NYG27 : 9/16/2018 8:41 am : link
Seems like this will be his breakout season and should continue this week against the 49ers.

Morris splits with Breida, I'd still start Cooper as Gruden wants to get him more involved this week. Should get a good target share with the concerned effort Gruden wants to get him involved with.
Benching Cooper for Morris  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2018 8:43 am : link
would only be something I do with a lager sample size. You drafted Cooper in the 2nd or 3rd because you thought he’d be good but ready to bench him after 1 game?

Morris is in a timeshare and has very little value if they aren’t playing with the lead. He could have a good game of course, but I wouldn’t want to bench Cooper if/when he goes off.
Since we are on Morris

Who do you guys like better this year, Morris or Garcon?
Who knows  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2018 8:52 am : link
Goodwins injury and Garçons injury history make him a very hard player to gauge. I’d probably rather roll with Morris even though I don’t like him but Garçon will probably have some big weeks.

That is what I am thinking. If you look at SF's schedule they face a ton of teams that struggle against the run.
Thanks all  
GiantTuff1 : 9/16/2018 9:24 am : link
I'd go with Cooper as well. Give him another week or two, but last year he did screw me lol... so hopefully he actually shows up this year.

Crazy enough I was thinking to start Brandon Marshall, since Baldwin is out he might be the no. 1 in Seattle, wildly.

But I see the talent of Golloday, it jumps off the page compared to the mighty mouse receivers Detroit has... This will be a tough one, I can see that SF game being a shootout, so Golloday might be a great play.
I'd go with Morris  
pjcas18 : 9/16/2018 9:24 am : link
mainly because I think he'll get touches regardless how well Breida does.

Not easy choices. I'd go Stafford because I think they have changed things up after last week knowing the Jets were stealing their signals but also because I think Indy's OL is banged up but I am not sure about that.

I would probably go with Cook although with Gordon out I can see Njoku being more involved. I have to give Cook another chance after what he did last week.

A bunch of players with similar fantasy predictions this week. My lineup is stressing me out, not only having Freeman hurt but BAL defense shitting the bed and putting me behind the sticks to start the week :(

You should definitely go James White, Imo. He'll get heavy targets this week.

In the other league Enunwa and Carson.

I am not playing any Packers today regardless off Rodgers playing. They already said it will be a short leash on Rodgers if anything happens. No way I am taking that chance so that leaves 3 players.

I like Anderson and Engram. With that said I don't like Stills as a number 1 but last week he proved me wrong so Stills and Engram? Engram could have had a huge game had he just held onto the ball last week. But that is the question with him.

Ryan Grant v WAS (8 receptions last week)

Corey Clement v TB (2 points last week, but Tampa got lit up last week, and Sproles is out)

Really not sure on this one.

I'd sit Clement, with Sproles and Ajayi as much as I like Clement need to wait for him to pass them on the depth chart.

Agreed, but Sproles is our this week so it gives me pause.

hmmm ok I thought Fournette was out. I will need to keep my eye on that.
Last I heard

Fournette is unlikely to play, but with a 4:25 game, I don't know if they've said officially yet.

I didn't realize Sproles is out, I'm just getting back from yard work, need to catch up, sorry.

I like Clement a lot. I think it's a toss up, maybe sit Grant.
Golladay or Tate?  
smshmth8690 : 9/16/2018 11:30 am : link

Sterling Sheppard or Copper Kupp?

colin : 9/16/2018 11:32 am : link
Yah you’re peobably right. I really like what Lindsay did, I think Clement if he’s the second option in a PPR is solid, and when in doubt, trust the RBs.
Will Fuller  
pjcas18 : 9/16/2018 11:32 am : link
Active, FYI
Fuller is so tempting  
UConn4523 : 9/16/2018 11:38 am : link
and he’s just what that offense needs. However I’m going to start Lindsey over him in my last Flex. Oakland is banged up on D, Denver is home, and Lindsey likely has a lot to play for in trying to win the lead rusher role - he also catches passes too.
Marlon

Rodgers is on a "short leash". I think I said this before but if I didn't I don't feel comfortable starting any Packer today. Rodgers is obviously not right. He is not mobile. It was reported this is a 2 month injury. He will have to deal with soreness and swelling. On top of that you are adding a somewhat short week against one of the best defenses in the league. Minnesota is not going to let up what Chicago did in the second half. They have a much better secondary.
I’d like to pick up Galladay,  
Keith : 9/16/2018 12:26 pm : link
but don’t have an open spot. I can cut Gordon, but if he goes to San Fran, he could be a stud. I also just picked up Allison, but I think
His role becomes important and if Adams ever gets hurt, he’s a wr1.

I like galladay, but I think Tate is still the best fantasy wr in the team and jones will get his. Last week they were forced to throw a ton, most weeks won’t be like that. So....galladay, Gordon or Allison?
Who should I drop?  
EricJ : 9/16/2018 12:31 pm : link
I grabbed Yeldon from waivers and dropped my kicker to do it. Thought I would see how the week unfolds.

Now, I need a kicker and have to drop someone to do get one in the lineup. My choices to drop in a 1pt PPR leagus are...
Brieda or Tarik Cohen?
I think Golladay  
pjcas18 : 9/16/2018 12:31 pm : link
is safer than Gordon, but Gordon clearly has a ton of upside.

If Gordon ends up in Dallas it might be less than SF, but apparently DAL and SF are the two "preferred" destinations by him.

Allison also has upside, but odds of Rodgers getting hurt again behind that OL would have me lower Allison a little.

I might rank them (in terms of safe floor):

Golladay
Allison
Gordon

But upside might be the reverse.

so depends what your goal is IMO.

Would you make this trade in a standard league??  
EricJ : 9/16/2018 1:01 pm : link
I get Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch.
I give up Fournette, Yeldon and Stafford.

The other guy already has Brady and Lynch is his best RB and is looking for an upgrade.

My other RBs are Hunt, Thompson, White and I also have Ingram who comes back in 2 weeks.
