Both are a wash.

12 man league, 4 WRs start, PPR, and I'm in the semis. Our league goes deep, so the talent isnt as high across the board.

For my flex spot, choosing between the lesser of three evils:
- Bilal Powell (Jets)
- LaMichael James (49ers)
- Greg Jennings (GB)*

*Jennings has been out all year and didn't do shit last week. Now they are playing on the road in Chicago.

Who do I start?

I'm a little worried about Hardesty getting more reps. He would have had the TD last week but fumbled near the goal line. TRich then came in to clean up. Tough decision...Do the Giants have anyone to come in as a goal line back or would that be Wilson as well?

I like Jennings

I actually like Bilal Powell v. Tennessee.

I should also mention I have Randall Cobb as well.

I like Cobb more than Jennings.

If it were me:
A) Powell
B) Cobb
C) Jennings

Sorry. I was unclear - I am 1000% starting Cobb.

I was just saying that if I opt for Jennings over James/Powell, then I am tied very heavily to the outcome of the Packers against the best D in the league.

QB - Brady
WR - Cobb
WR - AJ Green
WR - Marques Colston
WR - Kendall Wright / Greg Jennings
RB - Owens (JAX)
RB - Chris Johnson
TE - Scheffler (damnit Gronk!!!)
D - Detroit @ AZ

FLEX: Jennings/Wright, Bilal Powell, Lamichael James

Still like Powell more than Jennings.

Even with the bum toe and splitting carries?

Sorry... Money on the line, and I'm wanting to cover all the bases.

Or Jennings in his second week back against Charles Tillman.

I don't consider myself a crazy FF guru*. I just like Powell more this week.


* I'm not liable if you go with who I suggest. LMAO

Haha... good stuff. Yeah, I think I'll go Powell then.

You think K. Wright is a solid play over Jennings as well?

Not really.

NYJ are pretty good against the pass.

Dammit, I keep stressing this.

Randall Cobb, Julio Jones, Danario Alexander, Danny Amendola, Anquan Boldin


Pick two to go along with Calvin Johnson. This game is FTMFW.

Jones and Alexander.

Ok. I'll do this.

Randall Cobb has been good for me, though. On the road at the Bears with the Bears needing a win may be a tough matchup. BUT, Nelson is out, so he'd get looks...... And Jones is homw, BUT, it's against the Giants....

Tell me to stop whining now.

Giants aren't good against the pass. I expect a shootout.

good luck, Bowser.

Thanks man. You too.

Arian Foster has been ****ing frustrating.

Well, down 21.

Welker for me. Ridley for him.

Good riddance.

Thanks shitty receivers.

106 points on my bench.

LMAO

Holy shit. Props to you for not putting your foot through your monitor.

Well, for me, I'm up 32, but my guys are done and he has Chris Johnson going for the Jets tomorrow night. Had I not freaked out over my receiver position and just played the guys the had gotten me to this point, I'd be up 47 and feeling much better about my prospects. Johnson has only put up that many points once this year - against Buffalo. But, I just KNOW how these things work out.....

Yeah, all of my good matchups did shit. The bad matchups killed it.

Russell Wilson with 41 points.

Dwyer with 8 points.

DeAngelo Williams with 18 points.

Heath Miller with 15 points.

Denver with 14 points.

Awesome.

That's the bitch of it all - you just really have no idea how it's going to go down from week to week. Luck plays as big a part in it as any kind of research could ever help with.

That ain't no lie. Pretty frustrating year for the jizzles this year.

Oh, and Welker with no targets in the first half.

Cecil Shorts or Steve Smith? I'm leaning Shorts, as baby puncher is way inconsistent.

FTMFW

Dan Bailey or Shayne Graham
Jets D or Colts D

Pick 3:

Jamaal Charles
Knowshon Moreno
Vick Ballard
Reggie Bush

Moreno Bush Charles

Kaepernick or Dalton? Both have terrible matchups on paper.

My dilemma as well having Kaepernick and Schaub. Schaub is a safer pick this week going against Minnesota but they are a running team and Schaub will get you 250 and a TD maybe 2 if you are lucky. Kaepernick against a very salty Seattle D at home not to mention a divisional game. I see a much high scoring affair this time around compared to their last game that was 13-9. The reason why is both Kaep and Wilson have more games under their belt and playing better, have more confidence, both very athletic playmakers, thus the divisional competition between themselves for the top NFC WEST BIG DOG QB will be huge and both desperately need this game even though they both possess great Defenses.

BUT here are the 2 caveats about Kaepernick you have to remember: 1) He went into Foxborough against the best D schemer(Bellichek) in the NFL and put 41 on them. And Kaepernick is very athletic regardless of going against a salty D meaning there is always that extra playmaking ability he will have to score points whether with his arm or legs that Dalton only possesses with his arm.

The upside to Dalton is that even though going into Heinz the Steeler 2ndary is beat up all to hell and the Steeler D IS NOT the Steeler D of old and the Chargers exposed this big time just a few days ago and it is a divisional game.

I say it is a wash and whoever you go with you will be fine but at this point. I would say Kaep just on pure athletic ability to score with his legs which will open up the pass game regardless of the Seattle's superior 2ndary.

I gave Bellichek too much credit last week and sat Kaep and I paid for it not going with the hot hand.

This !!

Chiefs rush D is a lot better than people give them credit for at this point and when you watch what Clev's D did to the Cowgirls in Irving you will see Cleveland has a pretty salty D as well.

Now with all that being said in post #670 I have a another semi-dilemma in that I have Gore and Morris. If I start Gore it is more of a High Risk/High Reward play in my eyes than starting Morris in Philly. Gore/Kaep could get me double points if it turns out to be a high scoring affair or totally bust being a defensive game. Gore put up 113 and TD last time in SF but will that happen again on the road in Seattle?

Now that RG is starting the Philly D must focus on RG as well and just can't simply stack the box only focusing on Morris.

What say you?

Go with the lower red zone stats i.e your kickers.

Quinn starting and Bowe done. Need I say more:D

Agree with this

for a flex position

vick ballard
t.y. hilton

vs chiefs

Chiefs are better against the run than most but I would start Hilton. Flowers will be on Wayne. Hilton is a deep threat playmaker at all times and has consistently scored this last month.

Hilton. He's completely flying under the radar, and Flowers will be on Wayne.



*EDIT - What Chiefshrink said

Would anyone go Romo over RGIII this week because of the matchup vs New Orleans?

BILAL POWELL OR JACKIE BATTLE

Go.

Quick!!!

I would.

Bump. Just in time for week one.

Pick two QBs

Joe Flacco
Carson Palmer
Andy Dalton

Pick a flex

Rashard Mendenhall
Lance Moore

Flacco
Dalton

Moore

TY Hilton vs Oak
Or
E Lacy vs SF
???

(ppr, btw)

Hilton

Vincent Brown or Jermichael Finley?

Both are going up against stiff D's and Rogers is obviously the better playing QB but it is Week 1. Rivers pretty much already has his chemistry with Floyd unlike Brown not to say that couldn't happen in Week 1. Go with the better QB who has shown even in pre-season he will be targeting Finley more.

Finley is my choice although he has hugely disappointed since day one of his career.

Luck and Hilton will light Oak up big time and E Lacy might get the touches but no way he runs all over the 9ers D.

this what i'm struggling with...luck is my QB

for wr#3 I have hilton/nicks/desean jackson

I'm convinced that hilton will get a td against oakland, but jackson is going to get more balls as a wr #1 for philly...and nicks, is he really healthy?

i've been switching them out all week

I always get the tight position waaaaay wrong. Every ****ing week.

Sudfeld vs. Bills

or

Pettigrew vs. Vikings

Well fack :LOL:


RGIII vs Philly

or

Wilson vs Carolina?

Pettigrew

Anyone else debating sitting Roddy White?

My other starting WRs are Calvin Johnson and Miles Austin and I have Sanu, Hartline, and Broyles.

Think I'm gonna sit White and start Hartline.

You play a WR as your flex?

No, my league has 3 starting WR slots and a Flex Slot.

Jason Witten is in my flex.

Ah ok - I would stick with Hartline

I like all 3 as a play. When you have injury,touches and opening week on the road or at home and div foe, you really then have to look at the defenses they are going against.

Giants vs Cowboys = know each other very well and are comfortable balling it up which means anything could happen like the corners shut down the passing game or vice versa. Both teams have good 2ndaries. You are wise for questioning Hakeem and will they target him enough but I would feel comfortable in starting him.

Wash vs Philly = know each other very well but Philly has a brand new Offense they are still working the kinks out of against and up and coming defense in Washington. Chip Kelly's offense will take time for all to get the rhythm down but Jackson is such a playmaker and being No.1 WR he will be targeted BUT Philly has to run the ball effectively what little they do. If they don't they will double up on Jackson for sure.

Oak vs Colts = Hilton at home as the 'other No.1 WR' IMO that will get targeted even more this year for sure against a college level team in the Raiders with the next Peyton Manning type intelligence in a QB of Luck.

Hilton would be my pick with Nicks and Jackson a close 2nd. But.......

I think this is a toss up and you will be okay with whoever you choose. Sudfield with Brady as the QB could very well have a big game because of his no name status that Brady/Bellichek like to target no names for the element of surprise especially in the redone.

Pettigrew at home against a much weaker Vikings D and Lions will always pass first. They do know each other very well but having Johnson to focus on will only open it up for Grew !!

Gore @ SEA
or
Eddie Lacy vs WSH

whichever one i picked was going to be the wrong one, witness:

hilton 1pt
jackson 11

Pick two:

Joique Bell @ Arizona
Ryan Matthews @ Philly
Daryl Richardson @ ATL
Ridley v. NYJ

Thinking Bell and Ridley.

Pick three:

Dez Bryant @ KC
Edelman v. NYJ
Givens @ ATL
Megatron @ Zona
Roddy White v. StL.

Thinking Dez (if healthy), Edelman and Megatron. Going with Roddy if Dez is iffy.

Pick the worst ones. You'll be surprised.

Good luck with your TE situation, dick.

Oh yeah, who should I start at TE in both my leagues?

After last week you're better off starting nobody.

I got 1.5 points out of your pic instead of the -0.9 I would have gotten if I'd left it. Of course the 62 point ass whooping, getting the extra 2.4 points didn't make me feel better.

Don't forget my beer in three days.

I'm bringing it with me on the plane. Might be a little warm.

DeMarco Murray vs. Chiefs

or

Eddie Lacy vs. Washington

Lacy.

Russell wilson or Kaepernick at qb?

this one

Tough one, but I would go with Kaepernick on the road

Knowshon Moreno @ NYG

or

Ahmad Bradshaw vs MIA

mjd vs oakland

or

lacy

MJD. I don't really like Lacy at all, tbh.

thanks

i think he will eventually poach some tds...but probably best to wait

i tend to get over excited about risks

That's the way I was leaning anyways. Thanks.

Some input would be appreciated Chiefsplanet faithful.

Joique Bell @ Arizona
Ryan Matthews @ Philly

Megatron @ Zona
Edelman v. NYJ
Dez Bryant @ KC (check status) if not healty go White

Rus Wilson v. San Fran or Eli vs Denver?
