    btw, I HATE Thursday night football. I am playing Miller... debating on playing Blount as Flex versus Mike Wallace (versus JAC).

    If your player does well on Thursday, its great. But if not... days of misery...

    Chris Ivory isn't a RB1. hes more of a RB2/Flex play if anything. If Ivory was healthy, him and Yeldon would be splitting time at RB in a pass heavy offense.

    Should I add Victor Cruz, dropping Emmanuel Sanders?

    .5 PPR

    Picked up Matt Asiata (@CAR this week)from waivers.

    Would you start him over Gio Bernard (vs DEN)?

    .5 PPR

    I'm leaning yes since the Giants are rolling.

    Sanders will keep battle fighting with Kubes at this point.

    In standard I'd think about it since Asiata is much more likely to score, but even in half PPR I think you go Gio since the Bengals won't be running.

    I know the feeling. Played against Forte last Thursday night and he dropped 30 on me.

    LOL... like my first week, where my opponent had CJ Anderson and Kelvin Benjamin score big while I had a kicker that had three PATs. 'Course, then my Sunday started out with a season-ending knee injury to Keenan Allen while his Brees and MIN defense continued to pile it on... :(

    I need to decide between TY and Fuller. I'm leaning towards playing TY since I will be rooting for Fuller regardless, but I'd hate to miss out on the game where he didn't drop the 60 yard bomb TD.

    Does Gates injury change things enough to sit Wallace, or Shepard, or Hilton to start Tyrell Williams?

    He has been practicing (limited practice) and with the 3rd string QB playing I would think he would try and come back. It also looked like he was playing last week. I have Kyle Rudolph as my backup so I wouldn't mind if Gronk sat another week.

    Feeling WILD. Might start James White in PPR. Talk me out of it. Available RB's include:

    • Langford
    • Ryan Mathews
    • C-Mike & Rawls
    • Foster (Q)

    Wouldn't blame you, it might be checkdown city with New England's passing game tonight. Would be between him and C-Mike; I also have C-Mike and Rawls and they are maddening, and I don't trust Seattle's offense right now.

    Can someone help me select RBs this week? I'm in quite a predicament here. Pick 2 of:

    Gurley, Rawls, Mathews, Riddick, and C-Mike

    Definitely.

    Should I start Lacy or Blount?

    Me as a fan hopes that Blount is boxed up by the Texan defense keying on him and forcing Brissett to pass. But taking my fandom away... I fear that Blount will get a lot of carries and is a reasonable chance to score a TD from inside the 5. I am sitting him only because I am starting Miller and Gordon.

    Gawd I hate Thursday Night Football. Of course I started Lamar Miller over Blount. The more important question... how low the market for trading Miller will be.
