Do I start Decker or Baldwin in non-PPR, standard scoring. Ugh, I can't decide. Decker projected for 9.1, Baldwin for 9.2.

Both the Jets and Seahawks face good defenses (Cincy and Denver), but Denver's cornerback group is appreciably better than Cincy's

(https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-rankin...nerback-groups/).

 

So if you go at it that way, I would take Decker.

 

Also realized Seattle is NOT playing Denver. Don't know what I was thinking. Still would go Decker.

Pick two guys.

 

Stefon Diggs, Julian Edelman or Allen Hurns for week one.

 

Obviously A.J. Green is automatic, but for some reason I like Diggs alot with his playmaking even with Bradford at QB. Edelman also has a questionable QB (and I'm already starting Gronk) and Hurns is hit or miss every week. I'm leaning toward Diggs over Edelman, but I want to see everyone's opinions on it. I also have a flex option as well FYI, but I have Forte currently set there. (T.J Yeldon is intriguing too though..)

 

 

 

Which side wins?

 

Team A Gets

Matthew Stafford

Sammy Watkins

Lamar Miller

 

Team B Gets

Andy Dalton

Dez Bryant

Arian Foster

Jay Ajayi

 

Team A has Brady and is starting Dalton for the first four weeks as of today.

Team A rather easily IMO. A gets a better fantasy QB, a legit RB1 and a high-upside WR2. Team B gets a worse QB, a borderline WR1 and two RBs in a time share.

I appreciate the quick reply. I wanted to make sure I wasn't completely nuts here.

 

I accepted the deal. The team is looking rather nasty now!

 

QB Matthew Stafford/Tom Brady

WR1 Jordy Nelson

WR2 Sammy Watkins

WR3 Amari Cooper

RB1 Lamar Miller

RB2 Carlos Hyde

TE Jordan Reed

WR/RB/TE Thomas Rawls

 

other options to play with include: Ameer Abdullah, Martellus Bennett, Victor Cruz, and some other s***

Abdullah may be a better start than Rawls, since they gave Michael the starting job.

They didn't "give" Michael the starting job. Rawls is the workhorse there. The Seahawks are already backing off the idea of limiting him week 1.

Carroll said he'll be "extremely limited". I really don't think that's backing off the idea of limiting him...

Edelman & Hurns. I'd wait to see what the Minnesota QB situation looks like before starting any of their WRs

Definite steal for Team A. I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

+1 to both these answers.

Guys, need help. Death is not an option.

 

Do I start Rawls

 

Or do I use one of Jay Ajayi or Arian Foster week 1. Seems like thread consensus is Rawls.

I'm not confident Rawls will see many carries this week but from those options he might be worth the lottery ticket. I'd just go with Rawls in your situation.

Sigh. Death it is.

 

I have pretty good WRs thou:

AJ Green

Alshon Jeffrey

Sammy Watkins

Larry Fitz

Sterling Shephard

Torrey Smith

 

but RBs are Rawls Forte and the Miami handcuffs. Hoping Foster takes over or I find the sleeper at RB.

 

10 team auction league

As long as Watkins and Jeffrey stay healthy you should be solid there, although we all know Alshon. Rawls and Forte should be good after a couple weeks but yea you'll need to find some depth there if Foster truly is finished.

Well if Foster is finished I just have the probably not good Jay Ajayi.

Yea that sucks lol who is your current flex starter?

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 03:46 PM)

Watkins.

Flex starter advice (non-PPR, standard scoring):

 

Spencer Ware or Donte Moncrief?

I'd go Foster.. There's more certainty that he'll get the work and when he's healthy, he's the most talented of that group.

Ware looks like the workhorse

Edited by ChrisLikesBaseball

I was more or less forced to take CJ Anderson in my work league (last tier 2/3 RB on the board). I'm now glad I was forced to make that decision.

I'm off to a great start as I decided to not play Kelvin Benjamin last night!

I didn't get killed too bad last night, as my opponent had Cam and Kelvin.

Foster. He'll get hurt but he's not hurt right now and he's supposed to start
