Rodgers vs. MIN or Stafford at DAL (Monday)?
Standard: Parker at BUF, Landry at BUF or Robinson vs. TEN?
I won't even bother posting for leagues that I didn't make the final in.
Wilson or Winston?
Two from: Crowder, Graham (yes TE and/or WR in the same slots), Jeffrey (also Sanu, Enunwa)
Prater or Hauschka?
Made it to the championship game in my standard league.
Pick a QB:
Kirk Cousins at Chi
Philip Rivers at Cle
Pick two RB:
DeMarco Murray at Jax
Devonta Freeman at Car
Jonathan Stewart vs Atl
Rashad Jennings at Phi
Pick a flex:
Demaryius Thomas at KC
Golden Tate at Dal
Jamison Crowder at Chi
One of the RB from above
Pick 3 (at least one RB and one WR needed, so 2 RB + 1 WR or 2 WR + 1 RB):
Amari Cooper vs. Colts (24th Worst vs. WR)
Golden Tate @ Cowboys (17th Worst vs. WR)
A.J. Green @ Texans (29th Worst vs. WR)
Jeremy Hill @ Texans (15th Worst vs. RB)
Mark Ingram vs. Buccaneers (12th Worst vs. RB)
Jonathan Stewart vs. Falcons (6th Worst vs. RB)
Kenneth Dixon @ Steelers (5th Worst vs. RB)
In my opinion, I feel like I have to play Cooper, even if he's been awful for the last 6 weeks. It's not a good match-up either, but he's just such a tough player to leave on the bench.
I just kind of threw Green and Dixon in as what-ifs. Even if Green is by far the best player, and Dixon has the best match-up, I can't realistically see myself starting either one. It's just too risky.
So that basically just leaves starting 2 of Tate, Hill, Ingram and Stewart, which I'm having a ton of trouble with (and very high stakes, of course).
Every ranking will have Tate at the bottom, but I'm a huge fan. He gets a ton of targets, and has a pretty decent mix of big play ability to go along with a high floor. Detroit should go down against Dallas, so I think he could be a threat to put up big numbers.
I'm not a fan of Hill at all, but when you get 22 Red Zone carries in the last 3 weeks, it's pretty tough to go away from. He's also more of a factor in the passing game since Bernard went down. Still, if you watch the games, Burkhead looks like a straight-up better back IMO. I'm a bit worried he could eat into Hill's carries, making him almost entirely TD-dependent.
Ingram is certainly the most talented back of the bunch, but his mindbogglingly poor utilization is tough to trust. I don't blame him for getting pissed off on Sunday.
Stewart has put together 3 good YPC games in his last 4 and had a superb game last night, which is very promising, but I'm always scared to start him. He's gone for 3 YPC or less in nearly half of his games this year. No TD and he's a complete bust if he has one of those games as he's a complete non-factor through the air. I also have Newton, which, outside of last night, can eat into each other's numbers.
Any thoughts are appreciated. I feel like it's down to picking 2 of those 4 but I'm open to suggestions.

Am I crazy for starting Jordan Howard over Freeman in the championship game?
Also TE situation is driving me crazy.
I have Graham, but available on waivers are Ebron and Gates. Any suggestions?
I'm really leaning towards starting Stewart as my flex. Any particular reason why you guys prefer Tate?

Championship game!
Who should I go with for my WR3?
Tyrell Williams (vs Cle)
or
Michael Thomas (vs TB)
I have Williams in the WR3 spot right now...because Cleveland.
For my RB2 spot:
Howard (vs WAS)
J Hill (vs HOU)
AP (vs GB)
I don't think I can trust AP yet, and Hill is a bit banged up right now. I've got Howard in the starting position at the moment.

Ty Montgomery is sitting as a FA right now... Do I pick him up and play him over Demaryius, Devante Adams or Tyrell Williams?
Edit: also deciding between Oakland or Denver for D/ST. I have Ware and Denver plays KC if that factors in at all
Tough. I don't like starting two players on the same team if I can avoid it, but Montgomery was amazing last weekend. I think I'd add him and think about it more. Keep Denver's defense.
Now that AJ Green is confirmed to play I have him on my bench too now.
No idea what to do thanks for the insight though! Definitely helps
