Need some roster advice.
Which QB:
Lamar Jackson vs ARI
Russel Wilson @ PIT
Leaning Jackson but Brady torched PIT (in NWE though).
Which PPR Flex:
Hockenson vs LAC
Christian Kirk @BAL
Carlos Hyde vs JAX
Hollywood Brown vs ARI
Courtland Sutton vs CHI
DK Metcalf @PIT
Amendola vs LAC
Seems like pretty much all the same, decent upside, nothing guaranteed. I like Hockenson to get targets, but also see appeal of Brown if I start Lamar or DK if I start Wilson.
Any suggestions?
Flex:
-Brown's very low plays / routes run is tough to swallow, as well as few pass attempts, to play him so soon
-Kirk & Sutton have tough matchups. Even w/ high volume I think it's tough sledding
-Hyde is just a low bet & matchup
+Hock sounds good. Matchup is ok (LAC 14th TE pts 2018) and you'd think similar if not more volume from here
+DK most big play ability, but maybe lowest vol. Should be 1b if not 1a for Wilson (esp w/ TL's back issue)
+Amendola is low floor & ceiling. Fine, but you better have big score potential elsewhere (LAC 5th WR pts 2018)
For me it's Hock or DK. I might go w/ the bigger play ability in DK so low vol can still be efficient, but I could see either. Both should get a ton of RZ chances too. Amendola is the least but supposedly & unsurprisingly Stafford's security blanket, so you gotta like his floor, otherwise has a low ceiling / is TD dependent. Both O's are supposed to be high run, low pass so no distinction there. With that and vs PIT, for me it'd be DK
only worse thing was Diggs, getting 2 targets, and Cousins had 10 total passes (in a W no less).
thank you Robbie.
Fitz v Bal - tough matchup, but lots of pass attempts
Landry v NYJ - great matchup, but IMO JL is lower ceiling of course
Metcalf v PIT - uncertain vol, good matchup, possible #1 w/ big play ability, score chasing?
Most will get RZ looks fwiw. Who would you pick?
Or instead: I'm more interested in an RB and considered trading JL for injured TColeman - so I get something for JL, a halfway decent RB I can stash on IR (still backup so I might keep him there after he's healthy) then grab another player. Also we have direct add/drop from IR. Then add Kirk (tho after next game / waivers) or an RB like Mostert, RJones or Mattison. Tho all this will go down next week once TC is officially out to be sure
Jackson-Brown is ok but it feels like chasing last week’s production. BAL is a 12.5 point favorite in a relatively low game total. That screams Ingram not Jackson-Brown to me.
I like AJones, but even wk 1 was thinking of keeping him out vs Chi, and now MN is another tough one
Thanks

Fitz should be fine this week. AZ should be playing from behind and BAL is without both starting corners.
TY, DK, Fitz (Landry, AJones)
IMO it's still TY as he has big play AND vol. Then maybe Fitz because fwiw - last few yrs he hasn't gone past 37yd long. Last game he had (2) 40+. Plus vol. Course he's not likely to go 80 yds which the other 2 are but still
tougher one now!
Metcalf went 4 for 89 off 6 targets in week 1. 2nd most targets on the team behind Carson. Not sure where you’re getting your stats from.
6tgts, 4rec, 89 yds. also 4 more tgts than Lockett. Already #2 officially, but w/ his athleticism & potential, pretty interesting
Tho the weak OL kept RW off balance quite a bit. So there was a gameflow consideration. And of course, it's a heavy run O. So while 20 pass attempts was likely the low bar, it's going to be fewer overall attempts on avg w/ many more going to Carson than b4
speculation but there's legit smoke

Out of curiosity, where is all this love for DK Metcalf coming from? I’ve seen it on this board for the past two weeks. I’m not judging, I’m just curious as to what everyone else knows that I don’t? The guy was thought of to be a huge project with a fairly high bust potential coming into the league and he had 1 catch for 8 yards in week 1. He seems absolutely unstartable to me until he proves something. Yet each day I open a fantasy thread, people are recommending starting him. What am I missing?

Ah, shoot, my apologies. You’re right. I pulled up the week one stats and apparently it gave me week one of the preseason. I’ll run along now...
I like Hock, Brown and Hyde as well...
This is one tough call. How do you sit brown? With Brady at qb no less... just don’t know how much he plays. I think I’m going brown but it’s a tough call.
Anyone starting Mixon today?
I can move Carson to RB from flex and add one of my WR's as flex (non-PPR)
Valdes-Scantling vs MIN
Dede Westbrook @HOU
Devin Singletary @NYG
Mercole Hardman @OAK
So basically would you play any of the above in non-ppr over a less than 100% Mixon?
I think Hockenson will get targets regardless
