Need to start three running backs out of these four:
Doug Martin vs Jax - A week after proving he does have juice, he gets possibly his best play of the year.
Todd Gurley @GB - Pro, his second half last week showed that he is legit. Con, Green Bay at home could not be a worse game script. Pro, Green Bays pass rush is their strongest defensive element, run defense is weaker. Pro, with five 20 yard runs in one half and the Rams having garbage in the passing game, Gurley may be game script immune.
Jeremy Hill @Sea - TD dependant against Seattle. But after a three TD game, he should have his swagger back and be ready to earn a bigger role. And the Bengals may even be favoured...
Duke Johnson Jr @Bal - Has established himself in the passing game, may be the Browns best receiver. No idea how to feel about game script or Baltimore's defense due to injuries and consistancy issues.
Thoughts?
Ingram vs. Philly or Yeldon vs TB?
Ingram has been solid but might have carries taken away by Spiller and Robinson...Yeldon had a good week 4 and is the unquestioned #1 going against a bad Tampa team.
Blount or Hankerson for my second flex spot?
woodhead or martin for FLEX?
non ppr
Pick 2 (standard non-PPR):
C.J. Anderson @ Raiders (17th against RB)
Melvin Gordon vs. Steelers (4th against RB)
Alfred Morris @ Falcons (32nd against RB)
T.J. Yeldon @ Buccaneers (24th against RB)
This is more or less throwing darts blindfolded at this point. If I hit, I still miss the dart board. If I miss, I hit the person standing beside the dart board.
League One
My own picks are in bold.
Pick three WR:
Calvin Johnson vs Ari
Keenan Allen vs Pit
James Jones vs STL
Kendall Wright vs Buf
DeSean Jackson @ ATL (listed as questionable)
Pick two RB:
Eddie Lacy vs STL
TJ Yeldon @ TB
LeSean McCoy @ Ten (listed as doubtful)
Karlos Williams @ Ten (listed as questionable)
Isaiah Crowell @ Bal
Pick a flex from any of the players above. I'm leaning towards Crowell if Williams and McCoy don't play, but I could go with Wright in that spot.
League Two
This team is a mess due to injuries right now. My picks are in bold.
Pick three WR:
Michael Crabtree vs Den
Kendall Wright vs Buf
Leonard Hankerson vs Was
Andre Johnson @ Hou
Pick two RB:
CJ Anderson @ Oak
Danny Woodhead vs Pit
LeGarrette Blount @ Dal
Andre Ellington @ Det (listed as questionable)
In this league, I do have some free agent options. At WR, I could drop Andre Johnson and pick up one of: Percy Harvin, Anquan Boldin, Roddy White, Reuben Randle, Eddie Royal. Thoughts?
Also, at RB, I could drop one of my guys and pick up one of: Rashad Jennings, Chris Johnson, Duke Johnson Jr, Darren McFadden.
I'd go Yeldon strictly due to volume. You know he'll get 20+ touches.Ingram vs. Philly or Yeldon vs TB?

Comes down to Duke and Martin for me. I like Duke and think his role will continue to increase, but I'd go Martin.Need to start three running backs out of these four:

I'm not completely sold on Hankerson, and could see Roddy more involved this week. I'd go Blount.Blount or Hankerson for my second flex spot?
I'd go Martin. Solid matchup and he's coming off a solid week.woodhead or martin for FLEX?
non ppr
I'd go Yeldon for sure, then I'm giving CJ one more chance just cause I don't love Morris or Gordon. Really a coin flip with those three though.Pick 2 (standard non-PPR):
C.J. Anderson @ Raiders (17th against RB)
Melvin Gordon vs. Steelers (4th against RB)
Alfred Morris @ Falcons (32nd against RB)

I agree with most of your picks, but might get Blount in there over CJ. I'd drop AJ ASAP for any of those receivers but maybe Boldin. I like Duke more than CJ, so I'd strongly consider that.League One

Hankerson has been wildly inconsistant, either a wr 1/2 or a do not play. Moncrief has the much stronger floor.Standard scoring:
Donte Moncrief @HOU
Leonard Hankerson vs.WSH
My bye weeks work out so that all my other questions are decided for me I'm actually rolling with Alex Smith (vs. CHI) at QB this week over Derek Carr (vs. DEN). I don't know if I should or not...

I'd go Williams, Rawls and Sims.all are ppr
T.Williams vs SF
CJ Spiller @ PHI
Stevie Johnson vs PIT
Thomas Rawls @ CIN
(if lynch doesn't play)
Charles Sims vs JAX
Boobie Dixon @ TEN
(deep league)
Now with Luck out?
Even still. Moncrief was better last week than Hankerson was in weeks one and three. Hankerson can explode and be amazing, but he coukd also be a dud. If you want to swinger for the fences, go with Hank, but you could also fail.

Alright your logic works for me. I'm gonna do it. Most of my opponents players aren't too fearsome except Gronk. I'll go with the hopefully consistent player.
