Start Brady in the QB slot with his juicy Browns matchup or the #5 ranked Derek Carr against an equally juicy Chargers? I'm tempted to wait a week to see how Brady does but do I really need to, it's Tom Brady.

Pick a winner: Minnesota at home against Houston or Denver at home against Atlanta. We play a head coach spot in our league. The spread doesn't matter for fantasy, but as a deciding factor it's close for both games, 6.5 for the Vikings and 5.5 for the Broncos.

Thanks!

Pick 2 WR's (standard scoring)

D. Hopkins @ MIN
M. Jones vs PHI
J. Edelman @ CLE

After seeing the Vikings defense shut down OBJ and Shepard last week, I have doubts about Hopkins being a lock to start this week, especially after his 1 catch performance against Tennessee.

Fair warning: I'm usually the one asking questions in this thread, but figured I'd give my thoughts:

Would start Carr. He has the home matchup against a putrid defense. Brady is going to come back with a vengeance within the next few weeks, but give him a week to shake off the cobwebs. Not like you need to start the guy.

I'd go Denver, but think you can't go wrong.

Eddie Royal or Terrance West for FLEX?

West because Redskins run D is a joke.

This is a really tough one but I still start the first 2

I think Todd Gurley will finally have a good week. Anyone on the Patriots offense should be a solid start with them up against the Browns.

Some more:

QB:

Matthew Stafford (have him starting in place of Russell Wilson this week)
Ryan Tannehill (offensive line is healthy so maybe he'll have a good week)

WR:

Kelvin Benjamin
Amari Cooper

Murray is doubtful this week.

Barnidge and Ebron are a toss up to me, I'd probably lean towards Barnidge.

Benjamin if Newton is going to play, if it is in question Cooper.

So...

I feel like I'm doomed or something, in 24h hours I got to drop Watkins White, got L.Murray Doubtful AND it's the bye week for Robinson my top WR and Kelce my top TE.

Can someone help me out please, I'm 5th on 12 and have to put a decent lineup this week. STANDARD League

QB : Luck-Wentz
WR : 2 of Dorsett, Floyd, Woods, Royal
RB : 2 of Miller-Coleman(might have less than 5 touches)-L.Murray(Doubtful)-Darkwa-Williams
TE : Witten
DEF : Denver
FLEX : 1 of the WR and RB

Start Fitz tonight with Stanton at QB? Or start Royal vs Indy?

Miller or Gronk? Even with Brady back, Gronk's injury scares me

Pick 2 ppr

Amari Cooper
Stefon Diggs
Terrelle Pryor

Probably Cooper and Pryor.

Diggs' status needs to be watched because he has been bothered by a groin injury for the last two weeks. Last week he missed a practice and was limited in another one but still played. This week he has missed two practices.

Same situation as the first poster, I have Brady and Carr. My gut is telling me Carr. However, my opponent has Gronk and Edelman (who he's unsure if he's starting). Is it a better strategy to get points when he does with Brady or to shoot for Carr's pure upside?
