Whoa, that's a lot of teams! My suggestions bolded. Tough decisions there for a lot of them. You seem to have quite a few guys with banged up QBs or guys that are on new teams or rookies (Baltimore, Indy, Buffalo, etc.) and I generally stayed away from choosing them. At least for the 1st week.

Standard scoring.

Pick one of the following for my flex;

T Hill - WR
S Diggs - WR
C McCaffrey - RB

I have McCaffrey slotted in there now, but I have no idea what his workload is going to look like.

I have McCaffrey as well. The projection I got was 800 yards and 50 catches for ?? Yards.

I think that's pretty valid. They will get him on the field.

I'm starting him in my flex week 1. Why not

So it's looking like the Tampa Miami game is getting rescheduled. Is jeremy hill a better week 1 play than West or Forte? He's on waivers and I could drop forte for him, I guess. Also, Tyrell Williams or Rishard Matthews to replace Parker? Matthews has the better matchup but I'm not sure what his role will be.

I'll give some sit/start advice when I'm back on my computer and not just on my phone.

They just re-scheduled the Tampa-Miami game which is totally the right thing to do.

....but in my draft last night I took Winston, and only Winston since he had a bye in week 11 and didn't want to use a pick on someone that may not have a job in 10 weeks.

So now I have the pick of

Bortles
Glennon
Hoyer
Goff
Kizer
Simien
Savage
McCown
Tolzein

...has to be Goff, right?

Yeah, I have no hobbies outside of sports. Thanks. Yeah, I have a lot of receivers on teams with QB questions.

Standard scoring.

Pick one of the following for my flex;

T Hill - WR
S Diggs - WR
C McCaffrey - RB

I have McCaffrey slotted in there now, but I have no idea what his workload is going to look like.

Tough call. I think I'd go with Hill.

Which West? If it's Terrance, I'd start him. If it's Charcandrick, I'd start Hill. I wouldn't burn your waiver claim on him, though.

I'd go Williams.

I'd actually go with Simeian (spelling). He has the best weapons of the bunch, and he plays on Monday night. That at least gives you hope if you're losing.

In half a ppr. I have Elliot and Gurley, but in case Elliot can't go. Rodgers, Abdullah, Riddick, Peterson, or Duke Johnson.

It sounds like Elliott is going to play. If he doesn't for some reason, I'd go with Abdullah. Tampa might not play this week.

Standard.

D. Adams
A. Jeffrey
D. Parker
P. Garcon
M. Crabtree
R. Matthews
Z. Jones

Pick 1 or pick 2 if obj can't go or as flex over another RB

Cousins or Prescott

C. Hyde
CJ Anderson
Perkins

Pick 1 or pick 2 for flex

OBJ if he plays and Jeffrey, if no then Adams. Cousins. I'd lean Hyde but it's close.

ppr flex

L.Blount @WSH
E.Lacy @ LAR
S.Shepard @ DAL
A.Hurns @ HOU

None are great but if PPR then I think you have to go Shepard especially if OBJ doesn't play.

Warning: I have a problem. Bolding them would be easiest, I think.


PPR (pick one WR and two flex):

Hogan vs. KC (Thursday)
Thielen vs. NO (Monday)
Watkins vs. IND (Choosing Watkins just because we don't know what Mixon's role will be early and Watkins should be the Rams' most targeted receiver)
Mixon vs. BAL
Moncrief at LAR
J. White vs. KC (Thursday)
J. Matthews vs. NYJ

Standard scoring.

Pick one of the following for my flex;

T Hill - WR
S Diggs - WR
C McCaffrey - RB

I have McCaffrey slotted in there now, but I have no idea what his workload is going to look like.

Going with Diggs because I think that game will be a shootout. None are bad choices, though.

They just re-scheduled the Tampa-Miami game which is totally the right thing to do.

....but in my draft last night I took Winston, and only Winston since he had a bye in week 11 and didn't want to use a pick on someone that may not have a job in 10 weeks.

So now I have the pick of

Bortles
Glennon
Hoyer
Goff
Kizer
Simien
Savage
McCown
Tolzein

...has to be Goff, right?

Ouch. Yeah I'd say Goff, that offense should be a bit improved and the Colts D isn't good. Hoyer is probably the next best option.

In half a ppr. I have Elliot and Gurley, but in case Elliot can't go. Rodgers, Abdullah, Riddick, Peterson, or Duke Johnson.

I'll think on this and get back to you. My gut says Peterson but he won't be catching many balls. Riddick is probably your safest play, Kizer could be checking down to Johnson in the slot quite a bit though.

Need 1 WR and 1 Flex out of the following (non ppr)

A. Cooper @ TEN
S. Diggs vs NO
K. Allen @ Den
R. Matthews vs OAK
R. Kelley vs Philly

I'm leaning towards Cooper and Diggs, but to be honest I know nothing about Kelley and Matthews (haven't followed football much lately) and I'm not sure if I like Allen versus Denver.

PPR, need 1 flex:

Joe Mixon vs Bal
Eric Decker vs Oak
Duke Johnson vs Pit
Kevin White vs Atl

I'm leaning towards Duke as the most established option and figure the Browns will be passing if Pit gets the lead. Decker's on a new team with good depth, Mixon and White are more of wildcards...Thanks!
