I need some advice with my myriad of mediocre options to fill out my lineup.

 

I'm starting Antonio Brown, Eddie Lacy and Ben Tate. I need to pick 2 WR and a flex from the following...

 

WR

 

Michael Floyd vs ARI

Anquan Boldin vs SEA

Julian Edelman vs CLE

Roddy White vs GB

Dwayne Bowe vs WAS

 

RB

 

Ray Rice vs MIN

Lamar Miller vs PIT

 

 

Boldin is out unless I see a compelling reason to play him. I REALLY don't want to play either RB, but I see Ray Rice's name and still want to put him in. I'm leaning Floyd and White I think, but nothing is really set in stone.

Id go Floyd, Edelman and Bowe probably.

I have to pick two RBs out of Jennings, Tate, Sproles, Rainey, Spiller in a PPR. And if it matters, we do get 1 point per 20 return yards. Thoughts?

Tate and either Rainey/Spiller. That is a total toss up to me, both have great matchups.

This one wasn't even hard!

In a ppr LeVeon Bell is pretty solid also.

Would have been nice if Gary Kubiak didn't run 32 consecutive pass plays and bring Schaub into the game last night. Tate was doing alright, but then barely saw the field in the second half when the Texans inexplicably decided to run a spread offense with no one in the backfield. Kubiak's losing his job almost certainly

Zac Stacy or Riley Cooper FLEX PPR?? - Tough match up for Stacy.

 

Andre Brown/Marshawn are my other RBs

 

Megatron/Torrey smith WRs

I would play Cooper in a PPR. Stacy in standard

Struggling deciding among Rice, R. Jennings and M. Wallace. Need 2 of 3.

jennings and rice

 

 

disclaimer: i also told someone to sit decker and he scored 40 pts

Pitts secondary is sooo bad.

Was an 85% favorite in the fourth quarter of the NE game and suddenly Tom Brady has 400 yards and I am 88% likely to lose

Didn't have time to replace Bush, and only got 1 half out of Keenan Allen...Still dropped 191 points. If I had time to put Stacy in over Bush it would have been my 2nd straight 200 pt week....And this is the team that some people here ripped on....Who needs to draft a QB high anyway??

Gronk dying was my final stroke of bad luck. Also, deciding between Cam Newton and Phillip Rivers on a week-by-week basis has been a puzzle I've been unable to solve. Already lost Arian Foster and re-lost that butthole from Jacksonville in my receiving core

 

My other team is the 1 seed and got a bye week, though, and I don't think anyone on that team got hurt.

thanks to mother nature megatron and torrey smith got me 11 points and I lost my playoff match

 

 

./season

I benched Eric Decker again... <_>

 

Need 4.50 points from my kicker Bailey tomorrow to win and see if I get #2, #3 or #4 spot.

I won one league and am up by 12.1 points in my other going into tonight but my opponent has Jeffery (PPR) so I'm not too enthusiastic. My score this week is the 5th highest in the entire league all year but I'm probably gonna lose because he played McCoy and Vereen. Vereen wasn't doing anything until Gronk got hurt and then got 6 or 7 additional points because the Pats recovered an onsides kick. Oh well, I'll take advancing in 1 out of 2

I need like a really good game from Jeffery tonight. Nothing crazy like 7 catches, 130 yards and TD.

 

I need this to make the playoffs.

I'm up 30 points in standard scoring going up against Witten and McCown. I have Gould left and that's it. Would feel better if not for dallas defense.

I am up 17 heading into the Monday night game. He has Romo. I have Jeffrey, Marshall, Murray, Witten, and Bryant. I am just waiting for some insane thing to happen which allows him to win. afterall, this is the league I eventually worked into 5th place despite shredding everyone in total points (at least that got me 50 bucks).

The only team I actually care about is going to score around 160...during my bye week in the playoffs. Hoping for a repeat next week when it actually matters.

In my first place league, somehow my weakest position has been QB.

 

I drafted RG3 with the general expectation that he'd be great again. I recognized that he is still a risk, so I spent a relatively high pick on Mike Vick, who ended up becoming my starter early on because he was so hot. I assumed between RG3 and Vick, I'd always have a good option.

 

Now I'm in first place, but it looks like my starting QB will be Andy Dalton. Not a lot of options out there. Have to think this will cost me before it is all said and done.

 

The rest of the team:

WR Brandon Marshall

WR Eric Decker

WR Mike Wallace

RB Chris Johnson

RB Jamaal Charles

TE Vernon Davis

W/R/T Shane Vereen

BN RG3

BN Martellus Bennett

BN Denarius Moore

BN Eddie Royal

BN Greg Jennings

BN Jonathan Stewart (hurt, so will be replacing with somebody)

 

Not sure if I'll have enough guns to make up for the Dalton/RG3 mixture at QB, especially with Mike Wallace as a weak link at WR. He's been all over the place. Denarius Moore was doing well for me earlier in the season, but hes been hurt and I don't know what to think he'll do when he comes back to play with Matt McGloin.

 

Thinking about grabbing up Cordarrelle Patterson, but it seems like I'm looking at a Wallace-esque reward with a lower floor than Wallace. Also wonder if I should pick up Ryan Tannehill instead of Dalton.

Edited by Jake

The Cowboys sitting their starters in garbage time decided who I'll play next week.

McCown saved me tonight.........Thanks JC.

1st place in one league (3x entry fee back), 3rd place in the other (nothing yet except playoff berth).

 

For once I didn't get screwed, most points and best composite record and ended up in 1st. That'll never happen again.
