    Can't decide on this. 1/2 PPR. Flex spot. Dez Bryant vs Broncos or Thomas Rawls vs 49ers?

    Thanks.

    Good point. Forgot about Wade being there. Year 1 in a defense for him is always dangerous.

    Thinking of dropping my QB2 (Dalton) Tuesday. Best add... Corey Coleman, Marquise Lee, Hunter Henry, or Kirk Cousins (just dropped). My QB is Big Ben, my TE is Fleener, my WRs are OBJ, Keenan Allen, Alshon Jeffery, and Kelvin Benjamin.

    I think Coleman would be a good play.

    He torched Pitt last year and is clearly Kizers number one guy.

    Tough call.

    I like Rawls pending how much carries he's supposed to get.

    Rawls is in a committee - I'd go with Dez.

    Who should I start:

    S.Diggs vs PIT with Bradford out (Keenum in)
    or
    S.Watkins vs WAS (vs Josh Norman?)

    Also, which of these crappy TE would you start:
    Fleener vs NE
    Brate vs CHI
    Hooper vs GB

    Thanks. I went with Dez and got lucky with a TD. Also looks like Rawls already lost main role to Carson.

    So much for that idea. In fact brutal day for injuries as Gronk, Reed, Corey Davis, Corey Coleman, Rob Kelley all injured. Now thinking about Marquise Lee, Kenny Stills, Hunter Henry, and either Cousins or Trevor Siemian and right now Siemian is ballin'.

    I was lucky with a few moves, started Alshon Jeffery in place of OBJ and he had a huge game. Also started Terrance West at flex and he did well. I had switched from LAR to BAL and the paid off. Also switched from Prater to Lutz and he did OK. Second straight week over 150 points.

    I admittedly had a rough fantasy day.

    Had a Howard Zeke and diggs lineup combine for a solid 2 points

    At least you didnt have to start Jared Goff in a deep league because of stupid Bradford's jelly knee.

    I don't hate it. Zeke is the riskier asset with the suspension over his head. Fournette looks like a bell cow.

    This. Unless you have absolute NO other RB, and be a dead in the water for the a 6 week suspension.

    I know Zeke and the Cowboys stunk against Denver, but Elliot has already shown he can win you a league. This weekend's Jags game revealed that their O-Line and offense is just as bad as was initially thought. Fournette won't have Elliot's celling.

    Zeke had a slow start to last season. Do not trade him.

    Defenses are going to stack the box even more so against Jacksonville.
