Cousins or Wilson?

 

[stempniaksen]

Any reason to go Ricky Seals-Jones over George Kittle in week 1? (Since Kittle is a little bit banged up)

 

[TootooTrain]

I took a boom/bust approach to majority of my depth/bench spots. So I don't think I'll be starting 'em. The only questionable one I've been thinking about is this:

1pt ppr
Adrian Peterson @Ari
Kenny Stills vsTEN

Thnx!

 

[TootooTrain]

Cousins or Wilson?

I'd go Cousins. Not only do I trust his talent a wee bit more, I trust his matchup.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Wilson or Stafford?

Robert Woods or Agholor?

[The Abusement Park]

I'd go Cousins. Not only do I trust his talent a wee bit more, I trust his matchup.

That’s what I was leaning towards. His supporting cast is also much better.

Mahomes? or drop mahomes for Goff vs raiders?

 

[Terry Yake]

1 pt PPR

Choose 2 WR:
Anderson, Robinson, Funchess

C. Thompson, Conner, or Powell for FLEX? Or should I flex Funchess?

Mahomes? or drop mahomes for Goff vs raiders?

I wouldn't trust Mahomes until he shows what he can do. Goff will get enough points to hold the fort. Dropping Mahomes is a big gamble if he shows he can get it done and is a FA.

If you have faith in Mahomes you have to weather the storm and hope hes the real deal right away.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Pick a RB and a flex PPR:

Derrick Henry, Royce Freeman, Robert Woods, Marvin Jones, Keelan Cole, Emmanuel Sanders, Peyton Barber, Isaiah Crowell

Very true. Good advice

Lockett or Cobb?

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'll dive into these before Thursday's game. I'm just too lazy at the moment.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Lockett or Cobb?

*I'm a packers fan*

I think Cobb could do a bit of damage given Adams will be drawing the attention. Graham likely more of a red zone target than a go to guy. Cobb could get some decent production as the depth isnt their at WR.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

1pt PPR, need 1 WR, 2RB, and a flex

D. Freeman
D. Lewis
S. Michel
R. Penny
J. Connor

A. Thielen (according to yahoo he’s still listed as questionable)
M. Goodwin
P. Garçon
W. Fuller
R. Woods

 

[Herby]

1 pt PPR

Choose 2 WR:
Anderson, Robinson, Funchess

C. Thompson, Conner, or Powell for FLEX? Or should I flex Funchess?

All depends on Leveon news. If he isn't back you obviously play Conner without a second thought, but even if they say it's going to be some kind of split I don't see how you roll with him, if the game is competitive they are going to lean on LeVeon.

I'd take Anderson and Robinson and flex Thompson if Bell is back.

1pt PPR, need 1 WR, 2RB, and a flex

D. Freeman
D. Lewis
S. Michel
R. Penny
J. Connor

A. Thielen (according to yahoo he’s still listed as questionable)
M. Goodwin
P. Garçon
W. Fuller
R. Woods

Freeman is a no-brainer, and then if Bell doesn't suit up Connor is a no-brainer. Assuming LeVeon plays I'd take Freeman and Lewis as the RB's and Goodwin and Thielen as the WR/Flex. No LeVeon it's Freeman-Connor-Thielen with Lewis as flex.

Pick a RB and a flex PPR:

Derrick Henry, Royce Freeman, Robert Woods, Marvin Jones, Keelan Cole, Emmanuel Sanders, Peyton Barber, Isaiah Crowell

Royce for sure. Flex is a bit tougher but I'd say Sanders if you didn't have Freeman, but I hate having rb/wr from the same team so I'd say go with the TD odds and start Henry.

[Rodgerwilco]

Pick a RB and a flex PPR:

Derrick Henry, Royce Freeman, Robert Woods, Marvin Jones, Keelan Cole, Emmanuel Sanders, Peyton Barber, Isaiah Crowell

Peyton Barber will likely (all but certainly) be the starter this week for TB, I'd recommend playing him, as your starting RB.

There are still questions of how Henry and Dion Lewis will share the carries in Tennessee, so he could be a risky start, though I'm starting Dion Lewis as my flex this upcoming week, as I feel that he will outshine Derrick Henry in terms of production and touches.


Marqise Lee's injury has pushed Keelan Cole into the starting WR role, I can't believe I let him slip through my draft on Sunday, but I'm looking to add him at next week's deadline. He's going to be a huge target for Bortles. I think starting him as your Flex could turn out to be a good move.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

1pt PPR, need 1 WR, 2RB, and a flex

D. Freeman
D. Lewis
S. Michel
R. Penny
J. Connor

A. Thielen (according to yahoo he’s still listed as questionable)
M. Goodwin (tough matchup against Minnesota)
P. Garçon (Again, a tough week 1 matchup against Minnesota's defense)
W. Fuller (still dealing with Hamstring issues)
R. Woods

I've bolded the players I suggest starting and italicized those who I'd avoid.


I'm choosing to start Dion Lewis as my flex this week (half ppr league), I think he's going to out-produce Derrick Henry this year, especially in PPR.

If Le'Veon still isn't activated by Sunday then starting James Connor is the way to go, whether as one of your RB's or a flex.

Thielen is set to play this week, despite the minor leg "injury" in practice. He'll play in the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs, which could play to Thielen's benefit.

Robert Woods figures to have a nice match-up against the Raiders this week. The only concern with him would be that he gets up-staged by Brandin Cooks, but I'm sure they'll be able to spread the ball around against the Raiders enough to make him worth starting.
