    Good suggestion, but I already did and he backtracked immediately ("I want to hold Cooper"). I gave up trying to move West... I'm gambling that Foreman lasts through the day, then drop West and add Foreman. I don't want to gamble that Foreman has another game where he looks as good or better than Miller.

    The other owner and I roughly discussed a possible my Roethlisberger and West for his Wentz. I actually would prefer Wentz at this point but I may need a quicker emergency backup for Cousins MNF since his wife might be delivering their first child (she was originally due Sep 18, supposedly he left practice suddenly yesterday to go to hospital). Next week is Cousins bye anyway, so deciding between Dalton, Goff, and Watson this week and next. So I may simply drop Big Ben.

    My advice to Todd Gurley owners is to sell high. This game is his last chance to look like a stud again for a while. The Rams schedule is about to turn ****ing brutal. SEA, AZ, NYG, JAX, HOU, MIN are his next 6. Maybe Gurley actually is good again when not facing 8 in the box? Chances are he's going to be a bust in more than half of his remaining schedule.

    Need to start 1 of the following at Flex in a standard league:

    Sammy Watkins vs Dallas
    Mark Ingram vs Miami
    Isaiah Crowell vs Cincinnati
    Jonathan Stewart vs New England

    Thanks in advance!

    If Watkins is healthy, DAL defensive backfield is beatable.

    Dal Cook, Fournette or McCaffery. Brate is a possible TD versus NYG but ASJ is a sneaky play who gets targets and BTW next week faces CLE.

    Cousins at KC or Dalton at CLE. Was feeling confident in Cousins but Crowder and Reed injuries and Peters and feeling less now. Dalton going against easier defense that he usually does great against. Just dropped Ben to add Dalton last night. Dalton safe?

    I would go wih Cousins. Still not sure about Cincinnati’s offense, even if they are playng Cleveland. KC defense is tough and Crowder is out, but Cousins still has Chris Thompson who can take a screen pass and turn it into a TD. And Vernon Davis isnt bad. Also, maybe Josh Doctson is emerging

    I hope this isn't one of those weeks when my bench (Dalton, Benjamin, T Coleman, Fat Rob and Foreman) outscores my starters. So far they are projected to have 60 fantasy points while my starters have only scored 16 points so far. :oops:

    And guessing Watson will be a popular choice on waiver claims next Tuesday.

    Welp. Apologies for the bad recommendation on starting Cousins over Dalton

    Brutal week. Left lots of points on bench, Gordon is obviously more injured than let on, and OBJ and Jeffery underperformed. Unless Hunt and Cousins go into God Mode and Kelce gets lost on way to stadium I fall to 2-2. Worse, Lamar Miller resecures his job, so next week with Gordon out and Tevin Coleman and Fat Rob on bye, I will have start D'Onta Foreman next week. Brutal.

    No apologies needed. Most of the rankings had him higher, as did fantasy writers I know. And who knows, Cousins could get 30 FPs.:cool:

    Besides, advice is just that, advice. I still made the choice. So again @mulletman no apology necessary as I appreciate all advice offered.
