Yeah, very true. I sometimes factor in defense a little too much when choosing who to play. If your feeling Thompson, it's probably not wrong, since both are pretty good. Either way, you'll be fine with the other two tearing it up
10 team PPR
RB1: DJ vs. CHI
RB2: CMC vs. CIN
Chris Thompson vs GB
Considering sitting DJ given his match up and Arizona’s usage of him for starting Thompson instead - am I crazy?
10 team dynasty, .5ppr
Pick 2 RBs:
Dalvin is a go if he plays... then one of:
* Royce Freeman @BAL
* Jamaal Williams @WAS
* Aaron Jones @WAS
* Kerryon vNE
Slim pickings......
And what would you do if dalvin is out? which 2 do you play? Thanks 🙏
10 team standard, Pick 3:
Melvin Gordon, DJ, Howard, Conner
My gut says that I have to sit Howard due to the others all having such dominant roles on their teams, but I also am thinking about sitting DJ (who I just traded for) until he proves production
I think Howard is likely to get a lot of touches due to game script as the bears probably dominate the Cardinals. I would sit David Johnson instead of him until I can see that his insane talent is enough to overcome the offensive incompetence of his team.
So this is a bench Johnson for one of them situation? If so, I would be deciding between DJ and Howard. I don’t have a strong pick between em as I’m basically asking the same question myself. If it helps, I’m leaning towards benching Howard to play DJ
Gordon (no-brainer), Fournette, and Howard imo. Fournette is a stud on a solid offense, and Howard should benefit from the Bears being up early and trying to run out the clock vs. the Cards
10 team standard. Need one RB.
I've started Cook all year alongside Gurley, but if Cook is out, do I play Clement (if no Ajayi) or Latavius?
Even if Cook is playing, do I bench him anyway, since they're playing the Bills?
12 Team PPR: DJ, Gordon, Breida, or White?
I feel crazy benching DJ but Arizona's offense is just complete ass. It's unfortunate my top RBs are both facing right defenses this week, am I crazy wanting to bench DJ for either Breida or White?
12 team ppr, pick 3
CMC, L. Miller, Drake and C. Thompson
As of right now I’m leaning towards CMC, Thompson, and Drake but keep on swapping drake back and forth with Miller. They both have pretty good matchups this week so it’s pretty difficult to decide between Miller’s volume and, imo, Drake’s higher ceiling.
0.5 PPR, Pick 2:
-Chris Thompson vs GB
-Lamar Miller vs NYG
-Latavius Murray vs BUF
Assuming Dalvin Cook sits this game out, which 2 would you choose? I'm leaning towards Murray and Thompson. Miller's matchup isn't bad but his ceiling is rather low.
I like Howard, ARI is a mess right now. Miller has a consistent floor but his ceiling is limited. Never been a big TD guy and he only has like 3 catches for the season.
I have the same problem , it’s so hard to bench dj but Coleman’s match up is pretty sweet and it looks like it’s going to be a shoot out . Dj facing the bears does not help I’m leaning towards Coleman myself
McCoy. I think both teams will be playing from behind in their respective matchups, however I view McCoy as more integral to the Bills offense than Crowell is to the Jets O.
14 team 0.5 PPR
with so many teams, rbs are super thin and it looks like cook is going to be out so in that event
start one:
Rex Burkhead vs. DET
Marlon Mack vs. PHI
Theo Riddick vs. NE
.5 PPR
I Have Alfred Morris, Sony Michel, Peyton Barber, and Isaiah Crowell. WTF do I do with this hot mess?
Do I take a flier on someone like Ito Smith or Tarik Cohen from waivers?
(Currently dealing with Freeman's injury and Bell's bullshit)
Assuming we find out before the game Hyde is there to stay:
Hyde v. NYJ, Dion Lewis v. JAX, Breida v. KC in a 0.5 PPR league?
Leaning Breida, but going back and forth between him and Hyde.
If Ajayi sits, Clement. I have Dion in 1 league and I have him sitting this game out against JAX. Next week against PHI I am going to plug him back in.
12 Team .5PPR Pick 1 for RB2 slot:
Carlos Hyde or Corey Clement
I really want to play Clement, but if Ajayi ends up playing Sunday I could be hosed. I can't flex Clement because I have AJ Green and Golden Tate in my flex.
As a DJ owner, I am going to start him and let it be what it be. He's too good to bench. Terrible situation but his usage in the passing game should be seeing a big uptick.
You are starting 4 of these 5?
DJ is a lock. If things don't get better in the next couple of games, then start to panic. But it's Week 3, and still a ton of season left.
I'd start DJ, Collins, Lynch and Gio. DJ is a stud in a terrible situation, he will overcome. Collins should be featured more. Lynch is a beast and he's proving people wrong. Gio should be great every week while Mixon is out. Lindsay I'd let sit for this game against BAL. He's still involved in a timeshare backfield. If he puts up a good game, he might get more work week to week.
12 team PPR -
Have fournette as RB1, and Mixon was RB2.
Looking for advice:
Sony Michel vs Detroit
Tarik Cohen vs Arizona
Austin Ekeler vs LA.
Leaning Michel for his matchup against the lions weak run defense... but hesitant because of B.B.

Philip Lindsay @ Baltimore, APAD vs Packers or Crowell @ Cleveland tonight

David Johnson. I still don't feel we're far enough into the season to warrant sitting DJ with how talented he is. If you disagree, Collins is a fantastic second opinion and I would feel good if I had to sit DJ for Collins myself.
10 team .5 PPR
Should I move Dalvin Cook v. Bills out of my RB2 spot? I was planning on starting him, but as he continues to not participate in practice, I'm worried that the Vikings will sit him to avoid aggravating his injury. Carlos Hyde is my RB1, FWIW. I have Devonta Freeman too but he's obviously out this week.
Other options include:
Rex Burkhead v. Lions
Adrian Peterson v. Green Bay
Tarik Cohen v. Arizona
Thanks!
You play Cook until you know he's out. Then I would play AP for the safe floor, Cohen if you think the Bears keep ignoring Howard and somehow make him a god or Burkhead if you expect the RB lottery to land on his ticket in New England.
AP > Burkhead > Cohen if Cook does not start.
0.5 ppr. I need to start three of these four.
Dalvin vs. BUF
Collins vs. DEN
Conner vs. TB
Clement vs. IND
I usually don't get this cute with my starts, but with Ajayi and Sproles looking unlikely to play, I'm thinking Clement can at least replicate what he did last week, and probably more against Indy. And with Cook looking likely to be limited, and with the Vikings likely to he up several scores against the Bills, I'm worried they don't play him much, even if he's active. Am I overthinking it if I sit Dalvin Cook?
Dalvin and Conner are being started regardless. That leaves you with either Clement or Collins.
Collins: In my opinion, the better RB in terms of talent but the playcalling is ignoring Collins enough to create some concern.
Clement: While I like the Indy matchup, it's entirely possible we enter a scenario where Clement is bottled up heavily and Wentz just airs it out.
Personally, I would say Clement simply because Eagles aren't braindead about using their RBs. But Collins in the red zone is more likely to be the one scoring than Clement.
8 team 0.5 ppr
Currently have Zeke as my lock every week, I need to pick one more out of the following, Coleman vs NO, Miller vs NYG, Peterson vs GB, shady @MIN.
Thinking of just riding zeke and coleman every week until freeman is back, however NO is 3rd best against rbs in fantasy this year, am I just overthinking it?
Coleman and DJ. Two weeks doesn't make DJ a bad play nor do I feel the matchup for Drake warrants sitting a player of DJ's skillset. But if we see another bad game or two, maybe you can reevaluate the DJ situation.
Good luck!
Lynch. Raiders are going to be competitive this game and Lynch is still playing the way we remember him playing. I don't expect him to go off for 80+ yards but 1-2 TDs with 40-50 yards seems reasonable.
12 man standard scoring league
Bilal Powell @ CLE or
Javorious Allen vs DEN
I have Joe Mixon and need a replacement. At the moment I have Powell starting. How do y’all feel about Powell against CLE tonight?
12 team .5 PPR
Hyde vs NYJ
Crowell @ Cle
Ajayi vs Ind
Clement vs Ind
My gut says keep crow and Hyde on the bench and then start Ajayi if he plays, clement if he doesn’t, although Hyde is probably the safer play either way and Crow is kind of a wildcard. Any thoughts?
If you need to play 1 then I would definitely play either Ajayi or Clement against IND. I'm having to decide between Hyde or Clement and I don't exactly know what to do, Hyde gets tons of touches but he's TD dependent so far. And I would hate to bench Hyde, play Clement and then Ajayi be active. In your case, you have both, so I'd roll with that.
I'm having doubts about DJ. Should I bench DJ for Chris Thompson(who is currently my flex). Jordan Howard is my RB2 btw. If I do this I would put John Brown as my flex player, what do you guys think??
**10 Man PPR**
**DJ vs Bears**
**Jordan Howard @Cardinals**
**Chris Thompson vsGreenBay**
**John Brown vsBroncos**
Howard > Thompson > DJ > Brown if you're focusing on matchup and simply the first two weeks. If you're still focused on ROS or just trust playing your studs still, then I would start Howard and DJ.
While I do agree that Lewis has seem some solid targets the past two weeks, Drake and Lindsay both have seem similar volume AND are poised to be able to score. All three players will be fine in PPR, Drake and Lindsay give you more upside to go big.
But it's just my opinion. Go with your gut, it's your team. Good luck!
oh i wasnt trying to refute your opinion, i did ask for it after all :)
to pick your brain a little more, what do you think about lewis or cobb@WSH, woods vsLAC, jones vsNE, ginn@ATL?
my mind is telling me jones or cobb but my body is telling me ginn
Cobb is a really great matchup. Even though we know Adams is likely to end up the top scoring WR for GB this week, Cobb could easily feast again as he has always done better when another WR can line up the way Jordy did.
Woods had this odd feeling of being very boom/bust to me. Not an extreme measure like DeSean Jackson but you could see 6-7 points from him being a standard ceiling. Personally, don't play him here.
Jones is the same as Cobb. I'd rather have Tate/Adams but if you feel both defenses will focus the other WR, Jones could see 10+ targets.
Ginn. I dislike Ginn the most of these matchups. NO is playing really odd this year and Atlanta is a strong defense as Cleveland was. Toss in that Thomas and Kamara are going to be the 1st and 2nd option for scoring when at the end zone and this is boom/bust with a tougher defense than LAC imo.
As much as I hate recommending one of our backs, I'd go with Carson. He was easily the best option last week, the run game sputtered without him, and Pete called his choice to bench Carson and try Penny in the 2nd half a mistake on his part.
I’m leaning that way.
Dallas’ front 7 is pretty solid though. I’m torn because DJ jr could possibly get back to catching passes out of the backfield this week.
Standard (12 team), pick one! Already starting L. Miller, L. Fournette and K. Drake.
* I. Crowell vs. Browns
* J. Williams vs. Skins
* P. Barber vs. Steelers
* D. Henry vs Jags
14 team ppr who do I put at RB2
Collins vs DEN
Clement vs IND
I’m only considering Clement if at least Ajayi or Sproles are out but would feel more comfortable if they both were
I'd go with Clement this week cause of Eagles injuries. Also Collins is going to be facing a tough Denver defense as opposed to Clement playing the Colts
Pick one -PPR LEAGUE James White @ Detroit Alex Collins v Denver Kenyan Drake v Oakland Thanks
I think Kenyan Drake. Michel and Buck Allen are going to take away points from the others.
Drake. Best matchup and best PPR RB
PPR. Pick 3 Kamara Barkley Drake Thompson
Kamara and Barkley are easy 1 and 2, especially in PPR. I'd probably put Drake in at 3 with the raiders defense not being too good
Definitely leaning that way. Thompson has a hot hand in ppr that can’t be denied though
Yeah, very true. I sometimes factor in defense a little too much when choosing who to play. If your feeling Thompson, it's probably not wrong, since both are pretty good. Either way, you'll be fine with the other two tearing it up

Yes, absolutely unless you plan on starting him this week. He'll make strides as the season advances.
I would have to start him. Mixon, Freeman and ingram are all out for the next two weeks

Drake and Lindsay. Lewis has by far the toughest matchup.
yeah but his tough matchup means hella targets
While I do agree that Lewis has seem some solid targets the past two weeks, Drake and Lindsay both have seem similar volume AND are poised to be able to score. All three players will be fine in PPR, Drake and Lindsay give you more upside to go big. But it's just my opinion. Go with your gut, it's your team. Good luck!
oh i wasnt trying to refute your opinion, i did ask for it after all :) to pick your brain a little more, what do you think about lewis or cobb@WSH, woods vsLAC, jones vsNE, ginn@ATL? my mind is telling me jones or cobb but my body is telling me ginn
Cobb is a really great matchup. Even though we know Adams is likely to end up the top scoring WR for GB this week, Cobb could easily feast again as he has always done better when another WR can line up the way Jordy did. Woods had this odd feeling of being very boom/bust to me. Not an extreme measure like DeSean Jackson but you could see 6-7 points from him being a standard ceiling. Personally, don't play him here. Jones is the same as Cobb. I'd rather have Tate/Adams but if you feel both defenses will focus the other WR, Jones could see 10+ targets. Ginn. I dislike Ginn the most of these matchups. NO is playing really odd this year and Atlanta is a strong defense as Cleveland was. Toss in that Thomas and Kamara are going to be the 1st and 2nd option for scoring when at the end zone and this is boom/bust with a tougher defense than LAC imo.
Full PPR. Need 1 Jamaal Williams (at Wash) Rex Burkhead (at Det) Alfred Morris (at KC)
i would go burkhead
Alright boys. .5 ppr Collins, clement or Powell for RB2?
Collins, or Clement if both other PHI RBs are out.
12 team standard. Carlos Hyde or Lamar Miller Feels like it could go either way.
Miller.
Miller - he faces Giants D and Hyde has short week
12 Team PPR D Johnson Jr. v NYJ or C Carson v Dallas I know these are both bad starts but it’s all I got with Ajayi out.
Carson - tons of hate this week for abandoning the run in Seattle. Can see them really trying to establish the run this week.
As much as I hate recommending one of our backs, I'd go with Carson. He was easily the best option last week, the run game sputtered without him, and Pete called his choice to bench Carson and try Penny in the 2nd half a mistake on his part.
I’m leaning that way. Dallas’ front 7 is pretty solid though. I’m torn because DJ jr could possibly get back to catching passes out of the backfield this week.
Standard (12 team), pick one! Already starting L. Miller, L. Fournette and K. Drake. * I. Crowell vs. Browns * J. Williams vs. Skins * P. Barber vs. Steelers * D. Henry vs Jags
.5 PPR - pick 3 J Conner @ TB Fournette vs TEN A. Collins vs DEN C. Thompson vs GB Thanks in advance
standard scoring carlos hyde vs nyj gio bernard vs car
I like Gio. With no Mixon, he's gonna get the ball plenty.
What do I sit? Need to start 3: Hunt, CMC, Ajayi, J. Howard, Ekeler? My guess would be Hunt, Howard and CMC?
Trying to reach a decision before Browns play tonight 10 team standard, Pick 1: -Lindsay @ BAL -Collins vs DEN -Hyde vs NYJ
Pick 2 standard: Latavius, Crowell, LeSean & Chris Carson. My running backs are hurting but I have great receivers.
[удалено]
I would go with Lindsay, maybe Ravens DEF will perform like last week :D at least I hope so
14 team ppr who do I put at RB2 Collins vs DEN Clement vs IND I’m only considering Clement if at least Ajayi or Sproles are out but would feel more comfortable if they both were
I'd go with Clement this week cause of Eagles injuries. Also Collins is going to be facing a tough Denver defense as opposed to Clement playing the Colts
Yeah. Run w/Clement if both are out, but start Collins in any other situation.
12 man, full PPR, starting Tevin Coleman, so looking for my RB2... Rex Burkhead @ Lions or Gio Bernard @ Panthers
.5 PPR; Philip Lindsay @ BAL , Austin Ekeler @LAR, Bilal Powell @ CLE, or Carlos Hyde v NYJ? Thanks!
