pPR pick 1 qb and 2wr
Miles, brown, homes, Jennings, britt, Streater, Tsmith, Hawkins

Thanks
Assuming that Bradshaw starts practicing again this week and will play on sunday, should I rather start Andre Brown (@ PHI) or Streater (@ DEN) in a PPR Flex?
Also: Cassel (vs SD) or Russell Wilson (@ STL)?
Ok I need 2 sneaky waiver wire wrs. I’m 8th on wire priorety and I’m gonna miss out on the Donny Avery/Brandon Gibson/Julian Edleman types. It’s a 12 team league n we roster 22 players. I’ve got Antonio Brown n Wallace sitting. So far my startin 3 wrs looks like Cobb, DHB(maybe) n Kendall Wright. My other bums Doug Baldwin n Braylon Edwards haven’t done squat. I know it’s not truely lineup advice but just lookin for some help in this department..
0.5 PPR for both
Need 3 WR
Nicks, britt, dez and Torrey smith.
Need 2 rb
Ryan Matthews, Alfred Morris, and Cedric benson
Non PPR, I have four spots for RB’s,
BGE
S Jax
Alfred Morris
Ryan Mathews
Michael Turner
Matt FOrte
Jeff,
RB: recommendation Week 4…unless Forte and/or Spiller are active. Martin is my 2nd RB starting. Pick #6 Wave Wire this week. Available: Choice, Powell, Thomas, Hillman, Woodhead, Draughn, Vereen, LBall, Moreno and KBell. Hope after Week 4 that Forte, Martin and Spiller rotating should be OK.
QB: Either Smith, Romo, Dalton, Fitz, Ponder, or Kolb? Need one and both Smith and Romo on Roaster already.
D: Have PHI but hurting. Available are ARI, CIN, MIN, TB, and WAS?
Thanks!
UPDATE Jeff:
Able to grab TChoice. Powell, Thomas and Hillman were gone. QBs left are Kolb and Locker. Romo and Smith on my bench. Ds left are CIN and MIN. PHI my current D. Also, WR Wallace on Bye. ARoberts and LHankerson still available. Any recommendations are always appreciated. Txs in advance Jeff!
Standard league/flex position:
M. Leshoure vs Minn or
T. Smith vs Brownies
Thanks
Need 1 RB out of this bunch of garbage, right now, unfortunately
Ingram, Greene, Pilal, Tolbert, Battle, Dwyer
Pick a flex, no ppr
Daniel Thomas @ Ari (assume Bush plays)
Blackmon v Cin
Gresham @ Jac
DHB @ Den
Thanks Jeff.
I know this will sound crazy and one should never bench this kind of guy but in a PPR league, Lesean Mccoy vs Giants or Torrey Smith vs Browns? Thanks!
PPR – flex spot – Quizz, Shonn Greene, Beanie, or Fred Davis? I’m leaning Quizz
Need to play 2 of these
GJennings, DMartin, Ridley, AMorris, Santonio, CedBen
And 1qb from these
Fitzpatrick, Cutler, Locker
Pick one: Stafford, Flacco, Palmer
Pick two: DMC, Richardson, Lynch
Pick two of the three(1/2 ppr)
Ryan Williams
Demarco Murray
Crabtree
Joe Flacco, Cam Newton or Mike Vick, need two.
Thanks
OMG, am I really starting Andy Dalton over Philip Rivers this week?
With the injury bug hitting my team and a bye week i have the following choices
pick 2
Andre Brown
Jon Stewart
Ahmad Bradshaw
Ronnie Hillman
I also have to choose between Rudolph and Pitta
thanks Jeff.
one more if you can.
i have maclin in the flex as of now if bradford starts would you play andre brown in the flex or keep Maclin there.
well interesting turn of events….i was just offered doug martin for andre brown and bradshaw.
I am in a keeper league that bases keeper eligibility on round drafted. so this turns out to be an offer for basically the rest of this season between Martin (through 2013 but will likely be dropped given the player coming back to the pool and his rd 1 tag) and Bradshaw (same as martin) and andre brown (keeper thru 2017 as an 18th rd selection)
my other RB’s Forte, Mendenhall, stewart, donald brown, ronnie hillman.
what do you think? i am leaning towards making the trade right now
non-PPR: Britt or Celek?
PPR League:
Pick 1 of Alfred Morris, Kenny Britt or Pierre Garcon (if healthy)
Pick 2 of Jason Witten, Jermaine Gresham, Jared Cook
Which two?
Demaryius Thomas
Roddy White
Denarius Moore
PPR league-
Starting Maclin (looks like he’s a go) & Stevie Styles. Need 1 of Little ([email protected]), Blackmon ([email protected]), Edelman ([email protected]) or Rod Streater ([email protected]). Gut tells me to wait on Edelman and if he’sa no go then Blackmon. Agree?
And either Gresham or Olsen for my TE spot.
Thanks Jeff…. tough call, I know! I was sure that going into week 1 I had 2 solid WR3 options in Little & Blackmon. I suppose for both of them the only direction is up. I hope.
PPR
Need to start 1 TE
Tamme or Myers?? Or should I pick up miller to start?
Need 1 defense
Bills or recommend a few top defenses picks this week for me to try to pick (my league has many)
Thanks!
Flacco or Romo?
Thanks
In a non ppr, I need to choose 2 between Martellus, J Stewart, FJax and if he plays, Spiller. Im inclined to choose Spiller if he does end up healthy enough. Thanks for the help!
PPR league need a RB#2. Who to start Forte, M.Bush, Ryan Williams.
Ok ppr
Schaub or locker
Doug Martin Jon Stewart or Bradshaw pick 2
Kendall wright randle Cobb Brian hartline Jacoby jones or armon binns pick 3( only cuz Wallace n brown r off)
jets or Detroit d.
Wasn’t able to grab any of those guys u mentioned when I asked above. I had Ramses barden but traded him b4 he blew up for a defence.. Lmao everyone laughed when I drafted him. I grabbed Levon Brasil. I think 1 day he’ll emerge as Lucks go to guy..anyway thanks for the help
Standard PPR league
Start 1 at QB : Do I wait and hope for Stafford or go with Flacco tonight (Hill is on waiver wire but I have no one that I want to drop, Avery is lowest player)
Start 1 at RB : Turner, Pierre Thomas, or Andre Brown (To partner Mathews)
Start 4 at WR : Julio, Demaryius Thomas, Stevie Johnson, Jennings or Nicks
Start 1 at TE : Finley or Olsen
Standard PPR
Start 1 at QB (4pts per TD and 1 points per 20 yards) : Freeman, Fitzpatrick and Bradford (My thoughts are ride Fitz)
Start 1 at WR : Bess, Manningham and Shorts
Start 1 at Flex : Best of above or Andre Brown, Shonn Greene of Daniel Thomas
Standard PPR
Start 2 at RB : Gore, Morris, Turner or BJGE
Start 3 at WR : Colston, Boldin, Holmes, Bess, Kendall Wright, Simpson
Start 1 at Flex : Best of above
Start 1 at TE : Olsen or Gresham
Convaluted scoring system with 1 point per first down and bonuses for 100 yards and big plays
Start 1 at RB : McCoy, Run DMC, Mathews, Lynch
Start 2 at WR : Megatron, Roddy, Nicks, Harvin
Start 2 at flex : Best of above
.5 PPR… which one?
Hawkins @ Jac
TBMW vs. Wash
3 wrs:
Vincent Jackson
Torrey Smith
Miles Austin
Hakeem Nicks
1 ppr
Thanks in advance
non ppr, big play bonus
start 3 of the following: Nicks, Jennings, Marshall, or Dez?
also start Gates or Witten?
Thanks!
How would you rank the following RB’s for this week in a PPR league:
Jonathan Stewart, Ryan Williams, Alfred Morris, Michael Bush
Ridley or Ryan Williams ppr.
Flex question in full ppr.
Djax vs. Giants
Trich @ Balt
Torrey Smith vs Browns
So many rankings have the choice all over the board.
thanks
I actually went with trich. In our scoring he was one point less than smith. 21 points to 20. No harm no foul i say.
Pick two – 1 pt PPR
Andre Brown v Eagles
Dez Bryant v Bears
Amendola v Seahawks
Britt v Texans
Andre Roberts v Dolphins.
Usually I have a fair idea of who to go with, but this week the defensive schemes have me puzzled which way to go. Eagles, Bears, Seahawks and Texans have been able to disrupt QBs from throwing well and Roberts may be a good target versus the Phins defense even though he is not a WR1
Thanks for the help!
B
Need 1 DL slot:
Pick one:
Michael Bennett v WSH
Derrick Morgan v HOU
Trent Cole v NYG
Justin Tuck v PHI
I need to flex 1
Spiller
Blackmon
Edelman
Damian Williams
Rob Housler
PPR:
Roll with Forte? If so pair with Greene or Ingram
Thanks again Jeff, with the news that fjax and spiller are now both questionable does it change anything in picking 2 between martellus jstew and fjax and spiller? Thanks
12 team PPR. Opponent had Flacco and Torrey Smith go off last night for 46 combined points. Need to start 2 of these 4:
Brandon Marshall, Ryan Mathews, Brandon Lloyd and Steve Smith.
I am leaning heavily toward Mathews and Lloyd, what do you think?
Thanks in advance as always.
One more question. Another 12 team PPR. Need to start 2 of these three:
Jordy Nelson, Doug Martin and Stevie Johnson.
Thanks again 🙂
