Ugh. Â My bench calls last week, in a way to sum them up, is like the Vikings this season. Â AP has to go through an unimaginable tragedy, then there’s rumors of him being traded, then they bring in a scrapheap of a QB in Josh Freeman who is going to start. Â On a lighter note, ESPN wants the head of whomever scheduled the Monday Night Football games this year. Â Wait – that’s lighter? Â Ummm, yea if Joe Pesci is the head-deliverer!
I hated going into LSD this week.  Haha, a sentence I never thought I’d say… But yeah, it was a brutal week, and despite utterly clobbering the other Razzball Writers and being one of the handful of teams undefeated in RCLs, I just can’t quite seem to hit my stride in Last Second Decisions so far this year.  But what is hitting its stride is RCL Basketball, and we’re gearing up for the best and biggest season we’ve ever had over there on hoops.  If you need your fantasy get-me-over when NFL is over and until Baseball and daily Grey-dates (what I call Grey updates, but now realize that sounds like a Cougar dating site term), hoops is you perfect go-to through the second half of Winter to early Spring.
As painful as it is, looking at last week’s picks – Joe Flacco was my only real home run.  And it was barely a home run.  Like a Nori Aoki homer.  What does that tell you.  At least DeAngelo Williams had over 100 yards and a really solid PPR week too.  BenJarvus Green-Ellis got 86 on the ground, I think that’s a push, then I blew it with DeAndre Hopkins and Austin Pettis.  Pettis is dead to me.  Then to my benchers… and it gets worse.  My only win there was Anquan Boldin.  But bench calls for Matthew Stafford, Larry Fitzgerald (last Sunday), Stevan Ridley and Vincent Jackson were all catastrophes.  Clear cut 1-4 there.  Hey that’s still better than the Giants!  Hopefully I break out of mediocrity and failure with who I like in week 7 and their % started in ESPN and Yahoo, respectively (NOTE – these are not always recommendations for 1-for-1 swaps, just guys I like who are understarted and guys I hate overstarted):
POSSIBLE STARTERS
Nick Foles (25.6%, 40%) Â He’s a boom or bust play this week, but I’m leaning towards boom against the league-leader in QB fantasy points against – America’s Team. Â Chip Kelly will keep his high-paced offense going, keeping both defenses tired and scoring aplenty. Â I’m starting Foles with confidence.
Joseph Randle (32.4%, 34%) Â In that same game, I think the Cowboys win this one and try to keep Kelly’s offense off the field with a heavy dose of Randle in his first career start. Â Also a guy I have for my DraftKings lineups this week, I think Randle is virtually a must-start flex option with the amount of work he’ll get in a pretty good matchup.
Kris Durham (0.2%, 3%) Â With Ryan Broyles officially dead to me after fizzling out given a great opportunity, and Calvin Johnson looking like he’s much closer to full strength, I think it will leave Durham a lot of room in what should be a great game with Cincy coming into town. Â Luckily it’s in Ford Field and not in that typhoon we saw Tom Brady try to play in two weeks ago, and I have a feeling the Bengals get a lead. Â While his average of 10.5 targets the past two weeks probably won’t carry over, I think with Megatron healthier, he’ll get 8-9 quality targets and not being forced the ball. Â A nice deep league play, and I have him going in two leagues.
Fred Jackson (40.5%, 52%) Â I’m going higher up in the %s than usual with picking Jackson rather than my usual deeper sleepers, but I was shocked at how low his %-start percentage is this week. Â I guess there is some concern that he had his first single-digit fantasy outing last week, but therein lies what should be a lack of concern! Â Dude put up double digits in his first 5 games! Â Starter in all leagues.
Coby Fleener (16.2%, 20%) Â This is your last chance, dawg! Â With hands made out of MegaMan cannons, Fleener is dropping em like they’re hot worse than Sean Connery dropping mercenaries on Alcatraz. Â Man that movie makes no sense. Â But is just so damn fun! Â Anyway, in the Peyton/Luck Bowl, I think everyone can agree the Colts will need to pass frequently and the Broncs give up lots of points to TEs and if Fleener can wash his hands from all the Crisco he dips his gloves in, he’ll be fine. Â A nice Jimmy Graham fill in or deeper play.
Â
SON OF A BENCH
Colin Kaepernick (60.0%, 56%) Well, if my bench calls are going to go so bad, I might as well pick a QB I need to win me a game in a tough league this week, right? Â Right?! Â Cure of the reverse jynx! Â Listen, I am not too optimistic on SanFran C.K. in what should be a slog-fest of short runs and dude’s on the ground. Â Kinda like the Black Plague. The Titans give up the 4th-least points to fantasy QBs and I think Kaepernick is on the outside looking in of fantasy starters.
Stevan Ridley (71.8%, 49%) Â I’m going double-or-nothing on this one! Â After a surprise breakout last week, the Pats go to the Jets who really wreaked havoc on their offense in week 2. Â Given some of that was the rain, but I think with Gronk (likely) back out there, the Pats try to get their passing game in synch and Ridley doesn’t get as many carries as fantasy owners would hope. Â Not buying the bounce back quite yet.
Dwayne Bowe (41.%, 44%) Â As much as I wish this was Thursday and I could’ve put Larry Fitzgerald as another double-or-nothing bust pick (and been right!), I’m sticking with Bowe as a guy you still shouldn’t be starting in virtually any 12-team or under league. Â The Texans, despite being awful, have given up the fewest points to opposing WRs and I don’t see any way this isn’t a 20-3 type game with the Texans starting some dude at QB that sounds like a porn star. Â It’s going to borrrrrrrring. Â No thanks on Bowe.
James Jones (28.5%, 24%) Â At the time of this writing (wee hours of Sunday morning), JJ seems pretty unlikely to suit up, and with a 4:25 kick-off, there’s no way I’d want to be stuck letting him roll in my last WR or Flex spot unless I had another late-game option ready to go. Â I’ll miss him this week on my undefeated Writer’s League team, but nabbed Kris Durham and hoping the power of LSD gets me highhhhh – point totals (acronym puns are so fun)!
Maurice Jones-Drew (69.7%, 60%) Â I struggled with this one, and couldn’t find anyone better so went with an obvious option. Â Sue me. Â Sure he looked pretty good last week as the Jags didn’t get full American History X-ed by the Broncos like everyone thought, but I don’t see another good game here. Â Pretty easy bench if you have decent options.
If you have any last second decisions, shoot some comments below or tweet me @jbgilpin – and remember I’m going to be a little slower getting to them but I’ll get to everything well before kickoff!  Good luck in week 7!
PPR League – I have 3 WR slots and no flex
Andre Johnson
Jordy Nelson
TY Hilton
Keenan Allen
Brian Hartline
Which one should I start at my WR slots? I am pretty sure of Andre and Jordy but wasn’t sure about the last one.
@Blake: hilton
@Blake: Yeah I agree, top three guys
Who to start at my Flex? Non-ppr:
MJD
Stacy
Miles Austin
Stevie Johnson
@Snake Hips: Hmmmm, I think still MJD there, Don’t like any of those other guys.
J. Rodgers or Mathews at RB in 1 pt PR league?
Which two of the following WRs should I start- Sanu, K. Wright, Collie, T. Austin?
@Wallpaper Paterson: I think Mathews. Then Sanu and Wright
.5 PPR
Pick 2.
Ruben Randel, Terrance Williams, Jarrett Boykin
PS. I’m also starting Dez.
Thx!
@Turbo: Think I’d still leave out Boykin… Gives you a nice Cowboy Combo – no prob!
PPR: Z. Stacy or Le’Veon… Also PPR, Kenbrell or Kris Durham? ty sir
@drew: I’d go Le’Veon. Whewwwww, other one is close. Think I roll the dice on Durham. Np good sir!
PPR pick 3:
J.Thomas
J.Cameron
J.Blackmon
K.Allen
@vultures: Leaving out Allen there. Nice guys to pick from!
I’m torn: Brady or Foles today?
@Baren: can’t decide between Matt Ryan and Brandon Weeden today. Ryan is clearly the better QB, but with Julio & Roddy out, he has no one to throw to. Legit concern or an I getting too cute?
Thanks
@Bill_Buckner: didn’t mean to post that to you, my bad. Was intending to ask JB/Sky
@Bill_Buckner: No prob! While indeed it’s a legit concern, I don’t think it’s enough of a downgrade to go to Weeden. Still has Gonzo and Douglas and decent RBs.
@Baren: I’d still go Brady there. Gronk back will help
Pick 3..
Trent Richardson
Ray Rice
Garcon
Josh Gordon
Thanks!
@Bryan: You’re in a similar spot as me. I’m leaning towards benching Pierre.
@Bryan: I’d actually bench Trent Richardson. Lots of throwing in the Peyton Luck bowl.
Roster set except for flex. I need to bench one of these:
Jordy Nelson
Pierre Garcon
Josh Gordon
CJ Spiller
Short rush TDs worth 4, short TD rec worth 3. Bonuses at 25 and 50 yard TDs make them worth 6 and 9 + the yardage points.
I like all the WRs this week and worried that Spiller will underperform again. Thanks.
@T A: I’d bench spiller if it was my squad
@T A: Think I’m benching Spiller as well. Needs to get healthy.
Std league for this week pick 1 rb, 1 wr and one flex
Stacy Mcgahee
Steve smith, Keenan Allen, ty Hilton
Thanks boss
@Mandy: I’d go McGahee Smith and Hilton
@JB Gilpin: hey jb! I’m in a similar boat but was thinking Stacy Allen and Hilton… What’s your thought process? Stacy against Carolina worries you? Chargers go up early and run the ball? Thanks man!
@Zandy: Yeah my Panthers front 7 do look really good and I trust no one on the Rams. And I still think Smith is a solid WR2 despite inconsistency, just trust him a tad more than Allen, even though I like Allen.
OK so I have Gronk, Finley, and Joseph Randle. Unfortunately I only have one TE spot and one Flex. Who do I bench?
@Dave The Barber: Oh yeah it’s a .5 ppr league
@Dave The Barber: I think I’m leaving out Finley.
@JB Gilpin: You don’t think he’s gonna get a ton of targets with Jones and Cobb out? Or do you think he just isn’t going to produce with those targets due to coverage designations/lack of skills/injury susceptibility?
@Dave The Barber: Little bit of both. I feel like this situation played out for Finley last year with WR injuries and it didn’t work out.
@JB Gilpin: Roger that brother. I feel you.
@Dave The Barber: What about this … RGIII or Tannehill against Buffalo?
@Dave The Barber: I think I still play RG3. Tannehill has upside, but could be an ugly game
0.5 ppr. Which 3 WR do I start? A.Brown, V.Cruz, P.Garcon, K. Allen
@Johnny: brown Cruz and garçon in my book
@Mandy: Allen is playing Jax and has been coming up big lately … I wouldn’t sit him.
@Johnny: Agree with Mandy, all three of those guys above Allen are too good, even though I like Allen
Two questions:
Non-PPR League
Jay Cutler or Nick Foles?
Trent Richardson or Keenan Allen?
Thank you!
@flex: @Jimmy: I rolling cutler over foles. Tough call on the second trich is safer play in my opinion
@Jimmy: I’d go Foles. Then I might roll the dice on Allen, pretty low on Richardson this week
i nam going with jerome simpson over bowe or hopkins in a 1 ppr league is this how you see it?
@flex: Interesting… I think that’s a solid move actually
Happy Football Sunday to all! Should I sneak Jerome Simpson in over MJD, Spiller, or Bernard? Its in a league I care less about…. its half point per recep
@Scott Steelers: I’d prob roll with gob in my opinion
@Scott Steelers: Happy Sunday! I think I still roll Spiller in that situation.
.5 PPR League; Pick three of these four:
GIo Bernard, Ryan Mathews, Jason Witten, Jordan Cameron
Right now I have Mathews on the bench, but some are predicting him to put up significantly more points than Gio… and I’d play both but I have Witten and Cameron clogging up my TE and Flex slots.
@G Penny: Im leaning Cameron, witten and gob but defer to jb
@Mandy: I tend to agree with you… but just watch Mathews slash the Jags apart to the tune of 150 yards and 2 TDs on 25 attempts today. I have an eerie feeling. God I hope I’m wrong.
@G Penny: I actually would bench Gio myself. Too much upside for those TEs in good matchups. Have a Mathews feeling too
My wr’s are a mess right now. Do I play c.shorts with the injury concerns, or pick d.hopkins,jacoby nes, Stephen hill. Not much else available, thanks
@Not good: eh ugly. No talib has me thinking hill is the best of the bunch. Not sure how much case Keenum will light it up…. Shorts is injury is rough given the juicy matchup. I’d watch news closely but could see rolling hill out there
@Not good: I think I’s stick with Shorts myself, but yeah, ugly
Need 2:
Bowe
Thompkins
K Allen
S Johnson
Thanks!
@Charles: Allen for sure and even with gronk I think thompkins has a shot at a td
@Charles: Agree, I’d go Allen and KT
0.5 ppr. Which 3 WR do you start? A.Brown, P. Garcon, V. Cruz, K. Allen.
@Johnny: brown garçon and Cruz. I love Allen but those guys are more established and safer plays still with upside
@Johnny: I’d leave out Allen as well
@JB Gilpin: my gut says Allen over garcon, but my friends/you guys say different. I’m benching Allen. Thanks for the replies!
@Johnny: No prob! If your gut is telling something to ya, sometimes you gotta listen to it!
Bilal Powell or le’veon Bell?
Greg Olson or Jerome Simpson?
@cubjet: I think bell and simpson
@cubjet: Agree, Bell and Simp
Both PPR leagues.
What is the deal with Amendola he got dropped in my league but I thought it was just a concussion I know those can be tricky. Is he worth stashing?
@The Dredd Pirate: Probably. Depends on league depth, short benches in 10 teamers might not, but deeper, definitely
@The Dredd Pirate: As an Amendola owner, I’m holding my breath to hear some news, but for now he should still be 100% owned. If you can hold him on the bench without giving up a player you like, I’d do it. He’s on my until I’m forced to take a zero or get worse news.
Pick two…
A. Johnson
Garcon
Jeffrey
Also, Richardson or Randle? Thanks
@Apiatt34: Might actually leave out Johnson there. I like Jeffery a lot despite last week. Then Still Richardson there.
1-5 record looking to make a run. In .5 ppr who you flexing zac stacy and his Boring 70 yards or taking a chance on terrence williams in a shootout? Thank you
@walter sobchek: I’d take the chance on Williams. Good luck man, get outta that funk!
As a CAR guy, how are you looking at Olsen these days? He is festering on our 12 team waivers due to the couple of bad games and injury concerns, but will surely be picked up again if he returns to form. Is this the week for that or would you go with Reed’s health and upside and reassess next week (PPR)?
@the imp: I think I’d still play Olsen, he’s inconsistent but I like him more
@JB Gilpin: Thanks for the reply. So you think he is healthier this week or is it more about not trusting Reed yet?
@the imp: I am just not all in on Reed like a lot of people seem to be….
@JB Gilpin: Thanks for the input. Reed is definitely just more interesting only because he is more unknown and gets called a Hernandez-lite by a few (hopefully for one field, rather than off field behavior). I need upside this week and don’t think Olsen is healthy, but I won’t be surprised if I make a switch next week….low end TE1 world has been more than annoying for me the last two seasons. Last year it was VD, so it was even harder to pull a trigger and make a change.
@the imp: I hear ya… Hope it works out man!
Decker or Allen in my flex slot in PPR?
@Pete: Still Decker
I am starting cecil shorts at my wr3 spot with marshall and randle because i have no better options with amendola and colston on the bench
Options on the WW jacoby jones( count ret yards ) kendall wright hill simpson mike williams sanders
I would be dropping pierre thomas to pick one of these guys up so in all should i stick with shorts and if he is not playing which of these guys is the best play
@Barker: 1/5 ppr
@Barker: I think you gotta hold Thomas and roll with Shorts
JB, happy Snday to you! Guessing you like Brandon Jacobs better than MJD? Hate these Monday night games and having to wait to plug a guy in the last game of the week.
Thank you in advance sir!
@Ditka vs God: Jacobs is questionable for Monday night after not practicing on Saturday. Personally, I’d be tempted to avoid with a suitable (though less upside to be sure) option like MJD.
@the imp: Thanks man. It’s quite the pickle.
@Ditka vs God: I agree with JB that you could do a last minutes switch if your league rules allow a Monday night pickup. I really don’t think he will play, but whoever starts for NYG could do better than MJD. Maybe depends on whether you need floor or ceiling this week.
@Ditka vs God: Tough one… I think I would roll Jacobs if you have one expendable guy on your bench. Then if something happens and he’s a shocking inactive, you can pick up the scrubs they’d have to play instead.
@JB Gilpin: good call. You play to win the game, right?
@Ditka vs God: The Vikes run D is who we thought they were!
@JB Gilpin: haha! Just picked up Michael Cox as insurance in case Jacobs can’t go. Dropping Edelman was no big whoop, he hasn’t impressed me yet anywho.
@Ditka vs God: I hear ya, still think Edelman can have some nice games, but think it helps ya ensure a W this week
Pick 3 to start at WR. Standard league.
Aj Green
Torrey Smith
Keenan Allen
Mike Wallace
@SMLV1: I’d leave out Wallace
Kerley, Boykin, Simpson, Gibson, LaFell, or Woods in PPR?
@Pete: Simpson
2 more questions
Do I really bench Andre for Keenan Allen?
And
Pick ONE
Woodhead vs Jax
MJD vs Chargers
Stacy vs Panthers
Ridley vs jets
@Scott Steelers: Coin flip. I mighta said something different above, but I think Allen would be my play if I was looking at an uphill climb kinda week. Then Woodhead. Effin Woodhead. I was way off thinking he’d be a non-factor this year.
@JB Gilpin: that Simpson issue was in another league than this one
@JB Gilpin: goin MJD. Blackmon and shorts open it up for him. Otheethan last week jags been good vs RBs recieving
@Scott Steelers: I hear ya, it’s pretty close, but not ready to go MJD over Woody
@Scott Steelers: Woodhead a great start!
@JB Gilpin: son of a! And cutler hurt saweeeeet
Standard scoring 12 team
Which 3 rb should I play:
Rice
Morris
Lacy
Stacy
Candle
Thanks!
@ashtray: good old auto correct. Its RANDLE. Not candle
@ashtray: Haha, candle in the wind! I would play the top three.
Standard League:
Now that Fred Davis has been declared out, start Jordan Reed?
Or Heath Miller?
Or we have a WR/TE spot, start both over one of Terrance Williams or Jerome Simpson?
@Heraldo: I’d go Reed there. And nah, still TWill in flex.
I need to start 2 WR and a Flex. Who do you like this weekend. A. Brown, B. Marshall, E. Decker, J. Blackmon, Gio?
I’m leaning towards J Black in my flex, but E Decker should do well w/ Peyton wanting to show Isray up. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
JRJ
@JohnRamboJr: Mannnn close one. Might actually go Marshall Decker and Blackmon. I know Brown has been huge lately, just have a feeling those are your 3
Thanks broski!!
@JohnRamboJr: No prob good luck today!
Do you still start Calvin Johnson today? He is making me nervous considering it was a game time decision. Also the Bengals D is legit. I have Demaryius Thomas on the bench ready to go if need be.
@Grant: Man nice decision to have! I feel like DT hasn’t had a big game lately, might roll with him
Need to start 2:
Alshon Jeffery
H. Nicks
J. Randle
@mH: Hmmmmm. Non PPR leaving out Jeffery, PPR leaving out Randle
@JB Gilpin: thanks.. non ppr league… tough call when I only bench Jeffery when he’s solid
@mH: Haha I hear ya man. I think he has nice upside, but Randle does too. Take out Alshon’s catches and I think it’s the RB. Good luck this week!
I am struggling here….Big Ben, Colin Kaep, or Tannehill? awful options. No Foles or Eli available
@ALLEN: Mehhhhh, still Kaepernick even though I’m down on him this week
PPR league trying to decide on WR#3
Mike Williams vs Atl
Kris Duurham vs Cin
Stevie Johnson vs Miami
@Cooper Clux Clan: I’d roll the dice on Durham
@JB Gilpin: I like that too. He has Stafford so that’ll cut into his points if applicable.
@Cooper Clux Clan: Sweet, yea hopefully he throws 3 TDs all the DUrham!
Terrence Williams or an injured Shorts? Also should I roll the dice with Gronk or play Heath Miller?
@DP: I’d go TWill and Gronk
Love this site… In mexico and no access to anything but razzball! Pick 3 PPR
ALSHON, Keenan, Torrey, harry Douglas and rueben randle?
@Nate Dog: Thanks man! I’d go those top three, I know Douglas has some upside being the lead guy, but like those other 3 more. Viva la Sunday!
Ben Tate or Jordan Reed for a flex?
@Jay: Hmmm, I’m not as big on Reed as I’ve seen him pumped up, but I think I go him over Tate.
Garcon or k Allen?? 0.5 ppr.
I have chargers televised and that might sway my decision if it’s such a toss up. But garcon had 15 targets last week. Can’t decide!!!
@Jman: I’d still play Garcon… I know it’s fun watching your guys and wouldn’t fault playing him though! Just think Garcon gets more work.
Heath Miller or Olsen in PPR?
@Pete: Olsen
.5 ppr and six pt passing tds – Lafell or r randle? I’m playing against cam newton.
@tony nuts: Eh I still think I play Randle though. I don’t trust LaFell as a starter in most leagues
Which one running back should I start? MJD, Lev’eon bell, or Snelling?
@Ecstatic Giraffe: I’d go Bell
1) 12tm half ppr, need 2 of these (1wr spot, 1 flex) – Stacy, Simpson, LaFell, Durham, Dobson
2) 12tm full ppr, need 2 – Shorts (playing, but not 100%), Simpson, LaFell
Shorts’ health concerns me, but so does Simpson although vs a bad defense but Freeman’s first start.
@Frank: 1) Durham and Simpson 2) Shorts. I know Shorts is banged up, but helps spread your bets a tad too
whats up JB….I wont hold last wk against you-you convinced me to sit Fitzgerald and Ridley but talked me into starting Stafford.And overall youve been money for me personally,so….
non ppr flex,start Jeffery or Hilton?
ppr flex,Jeffery or Ridley,Edelman or L. Bell?
ppr pts league….Stacy,L. Bell or Vincent Brown?
thnks
@guidedbyvoices: Haha – well at least I was 1 outta 3! I’m an elite MLB hitter! Seriously though – glad I’ve been helpful. Man – tough one out the gate, I go Hilton. 2 – I’d go Jeffery and Bell. 3 – Bell again. Ugh I’ve said Bell a lot today, hope it pans out!
0.5 ppr, J. Randle or L. Miller?
Std scoring w/ bonus, pick 2 out of Nicks, R. Randle or T. Williams?
@Steve Stevenson: I’d go Randle. Going big with him today. Then I’d leave out Randle in that second one
B. Bolden or B. Jacobs
Standard scoring
@Chris: I’d go Jacobs, as long as I could have an emergency plan-B. But I think he plays.
Considering benching d Thomas for Keenan Allen. Crazy, at least I get the targets w Allen. .5pt ppr
@Mike: Haha – a little crazy. DT hasn’t had a big game, think he’s due. But Allen has been money lately, so I’ll retract crazy. But still would go DT
Gronkalicious! How many TDs does he score this week 2? 3?
@frankgrimes: 17! Haha. Think he gets 1
Double guessing myself like crazy trying to decide who to start as a fill in for Graham. Fleener, Clay, or J. Reed?
I have Reed right now, feeling it’s time for a touchdown.
@The Thumb: I’d go Fleener for the upside. I know Reed has the buzz right now, but have a feeling on Fleener in that showdown.
PPR League:
Start 1:
MJD
Joseph Randle
Jordan Reed
Hartline
@John Olerud: I’d go Randle. Going big on him!
Hartline or Lafell?
@Harris: I’d do Hartline
last minute, k Thompkins, L bell or powell at flex (I have Leveon in now) !!??? standard scoring non-ppr
@Nick: Yeah I’d go Bell too… He better do well I’ve said Bell like 15 times this morning!
@Nick: im switching to Powell with Goodson out! Just don’t think LeVeon will get it going against Pitt D
@Mike: @Nick: sorr, Balty D!
@Nick: Hah you fixed it right when I said that! Good luck today!
@Nick: You mean against Ravens D? haha. Yeah don’t blame ya it’s close!
Pick one: Nelson, Gio, Lamar Miller, Jacobs
Thanks!
@The Thumb: Nelson still. Hope Haden does rock him. No prob!
@The Thumb: Haha – meant doesn’t*
Nate Washington w locker over terrance Williams or thomkins
@Mike: Nahhhhh, I’m not a big Washington guy… Unless you’re talking Kerry Washington! I’d go TWill
JB,
Would you give lacy and steve smith to get adrian peterson? My rb’s right now are t. richardson, lacy, ellington, and s. greene. My wr’s are smith, k. allen, m. williams, r. randle. I hesitate because were in a 16 team league so there are basically no available wr to replace smith with. I’d have to hope my remaining 3 receivers are enough. Thanks.
@Allan: Yeah I would do that one even as a big Lacy fan
Hey Man, should i drop Powell for Ivory? The Jets look like they are going to utilize Ivory for ROS, based on this game vs. NE (pending injury)….I’m in 10-team league so I do not think Powell (or even Ivory) will be a starter but I think I’d rather have Ivory on my bench the way there using them today…
@Nick: @Nick: Also available in Roy Helu, B Gibson or Kerely…I can drop Hartline too…
@Nick: Man that one’s tough… I think I would and try to hold Hartline – dropping Powell
Drop Anyone for Jordan Reed?
Here’s my team:
QB – Stafford
WR – Green
WR – Dez
WR – Garcon
RB – Forte
RB – Sproles
TE – J.Graham
W/R – Decker
W/R/T – Gordon
BN – R.Wilson
BN – Bennett
BN – Gio
BN – CJnoK
BN – Harvin
BN – Douglas
IR – Vereen
I want Reed on this team, especially with a TE flex position, and for backup in case Graham gets hurt. I’d drop Bennett for him but I can’t since I played him this week and Yahoo’s stupid rules won’t let me drop him until tomorrow, and I’m afraid I might miss the boat if I don’t do something today. Anyone see anything?
6 points per TD (rushing/passing), 0.5 PPR, 3 point bonus at 85 yards receiving/100 yards rushing, 6 point bonus at 135 yards receiving/150 yards rushing.
@Wilsonian: I was going to say Bennett until I kept reading. We can’t add til Tuesdays in our league, so it can be even worse. Since you use Gordon in the flex, you could probably role the dice and drop Douglas if you really want him as an RB could go into the flex if you needed Gordon to start, though Douglass had a nice game too.
@Wilsonian: I know you can’t wait, but if Cutler is going to miss a few weeks, Bennett is the easy drop (even though i know McCown threw him a TD this week). Douglas is the second option with your receivers stacked like that, I know coming off a great game though…
Hey JB, not leaving you much time here but should I drop McG for Jacobs and play him over T-Rich?
My opponent has a 3 pt lead, I have D Thomas and T Rich left and he has Cruz tomorrow night
.5 ppr
@Nightpandas: Nah I’d go Trich. Feeling less optimistic about Jacobs now with some reports coming out this afternoon
Ha! Enjoyed the Ben Folds reference. Looking forward to week 8 because I know I won’t be disappointed by T Richardson.
@ColtsFan: Haha I hear ya! Yeah had a feeling he’d be bad in this one, but didn’t see Brown getting that much work. Go Colts!
