I would go with Collins. I would start Cincy's D this week against the Bills at home.

Standard league, start two
Crabtree
K. Benjamin
M. Bryant

Thanks

Is Crabtree healthy? Last I saw is he's week to week with a bruised lung. Plus, with Carr out, I'm not sure I trust EJ Manuel to do anything good with the football.

Definitely sit Crabtree with Carr out

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Definitely sit Crabtree with Carr out

But you still have to start Cooper if he's your #1 receiver and Crowder and Snead are your best bench options but they're on bye leaving JJ Nelson as the only other choice, right?

Up until Saturday he was considered questionable for week 4...so unless things took a turn for the worse I imagine there is at least a chance he plays. But I was thinking similar to you guys in regards to Carr being out. Probably going to go Benj and Bryant.

Yeah, unfortunately.

Tarik Cohen or Bilal Powell or Doug Martin
Paul Richardson or Marvin Jones Jr

With Trubisky drawing in as QB, I'm not sure what to expect from Cohen. He could be a security blanket, or Trubisky could struggle under the weight of his first game on Monday Night Football. Hard to tell. I think Smallwood is the safer play. Both are home games though, so that's good.

Richardson is the safer play, in my opinion.


Team 2:
I'm starting Doug Martin on my team, but who knows how much he'll be used in his first game back. The team might ease him in. I'm taking the risk though.

I think I like Richardson again.



Yeesh, all of your WR for both teams are facing strong defences. Tough call for each of them.

.5 PPR

Pick two WR:

Golden Tate vs Car
Adam Thielen at Chi
Sammy Watkins vs Sea
Jermaine Kearse at Cle

I'm leaning Tate and Thielen.

Pick a flex:

James White at TB
Javorius Allen at Oak
One of the WR from above

I'm leaning White here.

Tate, Thielen, White. I hate starting guys on TNF but Collins seems to be the new #1 in BAL now and Allen hasn't done much of anything the past few games

Landry vs TEN, Aaron Jones vs DAL, or Collins vs OAK for FLEX?

Thielen vs CHI, Benjamin vs DET, or Landry vs TEN. Pick 2 (1 pt PPR)

Was definitely leaning towards Smallwood and Richardson (in both) so thanks for the re-assurance.

Still not sold on starting Dougie Fresh this week, I'd like to see him perform first. Was leaning Powell, as he put up a big week without Forte around. Never really considered Cohen after he burned me last week (and with the whole Trubisky thing) but figured I'd add him in there in case someone wanted to convince me!

I'd start Collins and hope that he doesn't fumble early and get benched. Jones would be the play but it's now sounding like Montgomery and Williams will both be active.

Crabtree
K. Benjamin
M. Bryant

Bryant and Benjamin.

Smallwood is probably the safer play, but my gut's saying Cohen. I could see Trubisky checking down to him a lot. Tyrell is tough to trust so far this year but his value will come down to whether he lines up with Jenkins or Apple. Rotoworld is saying he'll see the most of Jenkins so I'd probably go Richardson.

Same as what Zorf said, I'm starting Martin but there's some risk there as we don't know how he'll be used. I imagine that it's coach speak and he'll take over as the guy at RB pretty quick though, he's a much better runner than Jacquizz. I'd take Richardson again.

Landry vs TEN, Aaron Jones vs DAL, or Collins vs OAK for FLEX?

Thielen vs CHI, Benjamin vs DET, or Landry vs TEN. Pick 2 (1 pt PPR)

Landry vs. Collins is tough, that Miami offense is in shambles right now but the Titans can't defend the pass. Collins also fumbles a lot but will probably the most touches in that backfield. Collins if standard, Landry in ppr I think.

Thielen and Benjamin.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Pick 2 RBs: Martin, Blount, L. Murray
And 1 FLEX: Above RB or Tyrell Williams, Devin Funchess or Jaron Brown

And should I start the Bills D vs. CIN or Minnesota's D vs. CHI? Both are available in my league.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

.5 PPR

Cohen or Amendola

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Well, 1/4 of my team has a bye this week, so most of my lineup is already set. That being said, I have one spot I'm having trouble in choosing:

Dak vs. GB
Roethlisberger vs. JAX

.5 PPR

Cohen or Amendola

Cohen could get a lot of check downs, but I got burned by him last week. Amendola is probably the #5 option behind Cooks, Hogan, White/Lewis and Gronk. I'd go Cohen still.

Dak vs. GB
Roethlisberger vs. JAX

Dak

 

[Scotianhab]

Doug Martin vs NE or
A. Abdullah vs Car.

I'm already starting Winston and C. Hogan Thursday night. I hate Thursday games.
I could also play both RB and sit Alshon Jeffery vs Cards and Peterson.

I'd sit Jeffery. I hate playing Thursday guys too.

 

[Voight]

Carson Wentz VS ARZ

or

Alex Smith vs HOU?

FlEX2

Jack Doyle or Jaron Brown

 

[Zorf]

Damnit, I get into my own head and over think things.

Right now I'm starting Doug Martin and Ellington in my RB2 and Flex positions.

On my Bench I have Lynch and Kupp.

Would you start Lynch or Kupp over Martin or Ellington? I know Martin is a gamble, especially with them having the Thursday game, which means less time for him to practice, but, Thursday games are usually junk for WRs but good for RBs.

Kupp is what he is. Lynch is very disappointing so far but with Carr out, Oakland should focus a bit more on the run game, right? Of all the weeks for Lynch to break out, is this the one? Baltimore has a stingy defence, but they lost their top D-Line player (I forget his name) so there is that too.

I appreciate the help!

 

[Zorf]

Carson Wentz VS ARZ

or

Alex Smith vs HOU?

FlEX2

Jack Doyle or Jaron Brown

I think both QBs have a similar ceiling, but Smith has a higher floor due to Wentz being more likely to toss an INT.

Smith and Jaron.
