PPR, WR3: Baldwin vs Rams or Crowder @No

Flex: Either of above or Dion Lewis @Buf

Thanks!
Dion Lewis should get a lot of touches against a weak Buffalo defense. I expect Tennessee to come out to a lead, so they should be giving him the ball a good bit. Though, I do worry that he's starting to lose out on his share of the carries, he catches the ball a lot out of the backfield. He's the least TD dependent of the 3 of them, imo.

Hilton is out. I think Fuller may be out. I'd give Edelman a week to get going.

Bolded my suggestions. Tough decisions in that last one.

standard scoring

Goff at Seattle or Cousins at Philadelphia

Edelman vs Indianapolis or Golladay vs Green Bay

Tough calls with two good QB options but I'm leaning Cousins and Golladay. Edelman could have a big week or he could hurt your start with a bad Thursday game.

I changed my plan this week, putting Hyde on the bench and Dion Lewis into my RB2 slot. Still PPR, pick one for flex please:

Crowder @ New Orleans
Carson vs LAR
Ekeler vs Oak
Sanu @ Pit

Bolded.

Hilton likely doesn't play tomorrow night, Edelman is coming back after missing time so I'm always hesitant to start players returning from long breaks. The decision between Boyd and Fuller is kind of a toss-up.

If AJ Green is limited in Cincy then Boyd will likely get a bigger workload.

However Will Fuller is dealing with some injuries of his own.

Why are you putting Hyde on the bench in favor of Dion Lewis? Hyde is averaging 21 carries per game through the first 4 weeks and is yet to go a game without a touchdown.

If you're insistent on starting Dion Lewis (which I think is a good idea, and I'm starting him this week) I would still put Carlos Hyde in your line-up in the flex spot over any of those guys you listed.

Ugh. Wilson, I guess.

Conner and Coleman (I'm pretty sure that Mixon is out for sure, and I'm not sure about Freeman.)

Woods (I'm pretty sure Fuller is out.)

Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of either QB matchup.

And if Mixon/Freeman end up playing, which would you swap them with? I guess the obvious one if Freeman plays is to switch with Coleman

The Bengals guy for the Cincinnati Enquirer just tweeted out that he expects Mixon to play. But he hasn't been cleared yet, and it's Wednesday.

I think you start Coleman if Freeman is out and Mixon doesn't play. If Mixon plays, I'd play him.

Flacco vs. Cleveland is a much better matchup than Wilson vs. LAR, in my opinion.


Conner is a no-brainer, and Dion Lewis should be able to get a lot of touches against Buffalo's porous defense.

It's a toss-up between your 3 WR's listed, but I think Woods is the safest bet. Fuller's hamstring injury worries me.

Thanks. I took him out when I saw the Ravens are the 2nd best team against RBs, have only given up 100+ yards once and 1 TD for runningbacks in 4 games. On the other hand Hyde has been solid, lots of touches and a TD in every game this year. I guess I'll play him and hope for the best

I'd go with Hines over Funchess.

Derick Henry is getting kind of forgotten about in the Tennessee offense, getting only 8 carries in the last game. Dion Lewis is getting more of the work there, and catches the ball out of the backfield unlike Henry. Dion only got 4 carries last game, but caught the ball 9 times.

Flacco vs. Browns or Rodgers vs. Lions?

Leaning Flacco due to Rodgers' subpar play (albeit due to injury) and the Lions' pass defense.

Start three (potentially one flex) of the following (.5 PPR league, rest standard):

OBJ
Dede Westbrook
John Brown
Cooper Kupp
Tyler Lockett
Josh Gordon
