Mariotta or Alex smith

Mariota if you need high risk, high reward
Smith if you want a bit more safety

Both are great starts though, they've both got great matchups. If you put a gun to my head though I'd say Mariota

West or Forte?

Flex Wallace or West/Forte

Standard

West over Forte - I think the Arizona D/ST crushes the Jets early and forces them to throw the ball a lot.

Forte over Wallace - Forte should still get the goal line work and I hate Mike Wallace always

In one of my leagues, Rivers vs Den or Mariota vs Cle?

In my other league, Rivers vs Den or Dalton @NE?

Mariota. In the other league I'd say it's a toss up.

Mariota vs. Cleveland. Rivers is going to have a terrible game vs. Denver. Broncos have a great defence, and QBs typically perform badly on Thursday night games anyways. So far out of Cam, Luck, Dalton, Winiston, and Ryan, QB points against Denver have been 19, 8, 8, 6, 13 respectively. They've given up 3 total TDs to QBs in total over 6 weeks. Meanwhile, Mariota has a great matchup vs. Cleveland. I think he goes for 300+ 2TDs this week

In the other one, I go Dalton vs. NE. Neither one is particularly amazing, but Dalton will at least breach 10 points at minimum, which is more than I can say for Rivers.

Hmmm. I think I'd go with Coleman here. Either Coleman or West. West is going to give you the most volume with carries, but the Giants have only allowed 100 yards to RBs once this year. I like Coleman to get a TD this week, as he keeps getting goal line work and keeps impressing in the passing game. Jones is bad and was only good one week because it was against Cleveland. Williams is going up against Denver. Ware is not startable at the moment until we see what kind of usage he gets with Charles getting the start this week. I'd stash him for now

Standard scoring

Pick a flex:
Jonathan Stewart @ NO (if he plays)
John Brown vs NYJ
Golden Tate vs LA
Rashad Jennings vs BAL (if he plays)
Chris Ivory @ CHI

I feel like Stewart is the best choice if he ends up playing, but he might be limited so I might go in another direction this week.


.5 PPR

This is where my decisions are a bit tougher.

Pick a QB:
Blake Bortles @ CHI
Carson Wentz @ WAS

Pick two RB:
Mark Ingram vs CAR
Ryan Mathews @ WAS
Latavius Murray vs KC
Duke Johnson @ Ten
Arian Foster vs PIT (if he plays)

Pick a TE:
Gary Barnidge @ Ten
Eric Ebron vs LA

Pick a flex:
Kelvin Benjamin @ NO
Chris Hogan vs CIN
One of the RB above

Tied for 1st place right now, match up against the guy who's tied with me. Bye weeks and bad matchups are limiting my options at QB and WR, so getting the most out of my RBs will make or break my week.

Standard scoring, pick 3

D Murray vs Cleveland
D Johnson vs Jets
J Howard vs Jags
C Michael vs Atl

I'm leaning towards the first 3, but any opinions are appreciated.

Also, Ertz vs WSH or Pitta vs NYG

Stew if he plays. I think Brown if not

Bortles over Wentz

Ingram and Foster (if he plays) if not, then Mathews (he gets all the red zone work)

Barnidge for sure

Benjamin vs. NO. He'll go off

Mariota. In the other league I'd say it's a toss up.

Mariota vs. Cleveland. Rivers is going to have a terrible game vs. Denver. Broncos have a great defence, and QBs typically perform badly on Thursday night games anyways. So far out of Cam, Luck, Dalton, Winiston, and Ryan, QB points against Denver have been 19, 8, 8, 6, 13 respectively. They've given up 3 total TDs to QBs in total over 6 weeks. Meanwhile, Mariota has a great matchup vs. Cleveland. I think he goes for 300+ 2TDs this week

In the other one, I go Dalton vs. NE. Neither one is particularly amazing, but Dalton will at least breach 10 points at minimum, which is more than I can say for Rivers.

Thanks everyone. I actually dropped Dalton in my 2nd league for Prescott, so I'll be rolling Mariota and Prescott in the respective leagues.

Standard PPR league.

Hopkins. Newton probably won't be 100% this week and the Colts defence won't be able to containHopkins.
