In a full point PPR, I have a really tough decision here for my final RB and Flex.

Here are my choices...
Mark Ingram @ Balt
James White @ Chic
Yeldon vs Hou
Breida vs LAR
Chub @ TB

Also, for QB would you go with Brees @ Balt or Winston at home vs Cleveland?
White  
UConn4523 : 10/21/2018 7:13 am : link
since its a full PPR and Gronk is likely out. Pats will need to run the ball and use quick throws to limit the pass rush.
EricJ  
robbieballs2003 : 10/21/2018 7:17 am : link
Good options to choose from. I like a bunch but wouldn't disagree with White. BB's offensive philosophy is to control the middle of the field. With Gronk out that may fall on Edelman and White.
I need TWO from that list...  
EricJ : 10/21/2018 7:21 am : link
who else other than White? Before asking the question above I already had White and Ingram penciled in.
Pick 1  
dep026 : 10/21/2018 7:24 am : link
Yeldon
Kerryon
Ito Smith

If Hyde plays, I dont see Yeldon as an option.

I thought they already said Hyde was not playing so Yeldon is what you do here. Even if Hyde does play, he has not learned the protections yet so I doubt he would see that much action.

Hard to sit Ingram.
Yeldon could have a big game but Hyde is expect to have a role according to Ian Rapoport.
Breida could have a huge game especially receiving against the Rams but he is banged up a lot.
Chubb is at the bottom of the list for me. If I am not mistaken he hasn't had more than 3 carries in a game. Tough task to go from that to 20+. I think Duke has a bigger role. Chubb isn't a guy to catch a lot of passes.

So, I think I'd narrow it down to Yeldon and Ingram because both catch and are TD threats. I will go with Yeldon based on the matchup.

Hyde is most likely playing but will have a "small package". Yeldon is the play and it isn't even close.

who do you think pops off of the page today? Forget Gostkowski for this discussion since he is at the top every week.

Is it Vinatieri vs Buff? Prater vs Miami? Badgley vs Tenn? Tavecchio vs Giants? Someone else?

who do you have as your sleeper kicker this week?
So hard to predict

I'd go prater, I feel that defense has the potential to hold those teams to the most field goal opportunities.

I have a glut of decent flex options this week... Who would you go with:

Golladay in miami
Goodwin vs Rams
Robby anderson vs minn (now starting)
Ekeler vs Ten (if Gordon sits, would you even consider him over breida as my rb2 against the Rams?)

What are people's thoughts on Keenan Allen? Too low to sell but just isn't producing like he did last year, decent yards but in a non ppr he's killing me with no TDs.
Melvin Gordon out

Ekeler without question
I'd also go Ekeler over Brieda.  
Miami_JintsFan : 10/21/2018 8:20 am : link
Need flex help for standard.

Howard vs NE
Duke at Tampa
A.Wilson vs Det
I love Breida  
Big Rick in FL : 10/21/2018 8:23 am : link
Think he's an absolute stud, but Ekeler definitely over him.



Jets D/ST vs Minnesota or Bills D/ST vs Indianapolis

Two of my RBs are out (Gordon/Cook) so I have to pick 4 of these. Can be any 4 with the way my league is set up.
Josh Gordon
TY
Agholor
OJ Howard
Taylor Gabriel
Dede Westbrook
Cam Brate


Duke at Tampa  
beatrixkiddo : 10/21/2018 8:40 am : link

Need to choose a flex b/w Godwin or Mack. PPR

So I guess if I move ekeler to rb2, should I still slot breida as my flex or any of those other options a better choice? Golladay is growing his role weekly and I had both Goodwin and Anderson help solidify my lineup last year and carried me to a championship so sentimental feelings there!

So the guy Im playing has Gronk  
UConn4523 : 10/21/2018 9:10 am : link
and a ton of players on bye wig no backup TE so I picked up Allen last night. Does anyone know how long you need to have a player rostered in Yahoo for them to be added to waivers when dropped? I cant remeber if its just 1 calendar day or 24 hours. Id like to drop allen and pick up the Miami TE to block him from 2 options.

I have the same right now, but I'm thinking of going Gabriel over Agholor. The Bears will most likely be down big and throwing the ball a lot. Gabriel could get garbage time yards.

I agree. Plus Agholor's targets are way down with Alshon back
Great week so far for me with Gordon and Gronk out.

I have the same decision. Normally it's a no-brainer, but Winston looked good (for fantasy at least) last week.

I'm leaning Brees.
I get alot of points on return yards with my defense so I am playing  
wgenesis123 : 10/21/2018 9:54 am : link
Baltimore against New Orleans. Anyone agree.
I have some tough decisions  
pjcas18 : 10/21/2018 9:55 am : link
IMO:

Standard league flex:
Collins vs NO
Hilton vs BUF
Ingram @ BAL
Clement vs CAR

And on top of which two WR's (same standard league):
Evans vs CLE
Landry @TB
Hilton vs BUF

And if you start Hilton at WR would you start Landry over those options at flex
I also have Lutz as my kicker so I will be hoping for field goals  
wgenesis123 : 10/21/2018 9:57 am : link
and kick returns.
Still trying to figure out if  
UConn4523 : 10/21/2018 10:01 am : link
choosing Goff over Brees is the right decision. I know they came off a BYE but At Baltimore is the best defense Brees will see this year.

Id avoid Hilton this week to wait and see if hes 100%. Start Evans and Landry with either Ingram or Clement at flex (Id lean Ingram).
I played Lewis

I love Goff today, he's my DFS pick at QB, but the problem is Rams could score 40 without Goff throwing a TD pass and if they get up big, run more.
What do you think of these TE choices?  
EricJ : 10/21/2018 10:13 am : link
Swaim for Dallas
or
Clay for Buffalo
I think you get a bounce back week out of Goff but knowing when

You gotta go Goff IMO. Baltimore is only giving up 188 passing yards and only allowing 12 points per game. SF is giving up nearly 100 more pass yards and exactly 17 more points per game. Especially since SF just played a hard fought Monday night game.

I'd go Clay. His numbers are way down, but that's because Josh Allen is a terrible passer and Peterman is even worse. Their offense should improve with Derek Anderson playing.

I don't disagree with starting Goff, but important to remember the teams the Ravens have played.

Buffalo, Denver, Cleveland, and Tennessee are 4 of the 6 teams they played.

Yes, they didn't have Jimmy Smith for some, but those are four poor passing offenses.

and the Bengals and Steelers were the other two games, Dalton threw for 270 yards and 4 TD's and Ben threw for 275 with a TD and a pick.

So the better offenses do better against them.

Just saying, make your decision understanding exactly who the Ravens have played.

I'm considering Winston over Brees.

Incorrect and bad take. Chubb should he in your lineup. Great matchup, and he absolutely is going to get all of Hyde's previous work. The whole reason they traded Hyde is to give Chubb the damn ball, because he's the better player. It's a mistake to bench him. I'd play White With him.

Albert Wilson. Howard stinks and they don't give him the ball, and Duke Johnson is getting 5.5 touches per game and that's not going to significantly change.

Miami is prioritizing getting the ball in his hands

it for me to start Winston over Brees. I hate not starting Brees, but Winston has a solid matchup and Brees has a lot to overcome. He could still have a great day, but I'm willing to live with the consequences.
