Just hoping to get a few of your opinions on this. At QB, who do I start? Keenum, Matt Ryan, or Dalton? Defense? 49ers or Colts? WR and flex? Right now I have AJ80, Pierre Garcon, and Jordy playing the flex. On my bench, I have Amendola, Julius Thomas, and Donald Brown? Should I switch anyone of them out or in? Thanks. Will rep.
I like Ryan as being safest pick at QB. Keenum if I wanted to risk it and go for the most points possible. Gotta start the 49ers defense here. I'd replace Julius Thomas with Jordy if Aaron Rodgers doesn't play. I expect Orange Julius to get a bunch of red zone looks with Wes Welker probably not playing this week. Other than that, looks good.
I'd go Ryan, 49ers and sub Julius Thomas in for either Garcon or Nelson, depending on whether RGIII or Rodgers plays or not.
They all have their strengths, and probably on the circumstances you could get any one of them. For a ppr starter for the next two weeks Pitta, for a higher ceiling but probably just a one week start, Tamme. Walker should be a fine fallback spot fill because of the matchup. Anybody else have their entire playoffs riding on tomorrow's game? I could potentially have 4 starters going tomorrow, and it terrifies me.
14 team PPR. I am going against the #1 guy, so I am going to need some upside breakout. I picked up Tamme, Da'Rick Rogers and Jordan Todman off the wire. My dilemma(s)... 1. Tamme over Cameron at TE? Cameron has been disappointing after a strong start and I don't know if I can believe that his last game will be repeated. Tamme offers the potential upside I need with Welker being ruled out. 2. With AP out, who to play in W/R/T flex? Jordan Todman, Riley Cooper, Da'Rick Rogers, Tamme or Cameron? 3. QB? McCown, Tannehill, Dalton?
12 man PPR Who should i pick up? Jordan Todman Chris Ogbonnaya Toby Gerhart I lost AP unfortunately. even if he does play i am not starting him. That is such a quick turn around.
1. I'd go with Cameron. If I'm looking for upside breakout, I wouldn't even consider Tamme since he plays behind Julius Thomas and will likely see few targets since Manning throws to everyone. 2. I'd go with Cooper. It looks like he's Foles' favorite target. 3. If McCown is named the starter, go with him. If not, I like Tannehill. With Miller recovering from a concussion, I think Miami will focus more on their passing game. Before taking my advice, I should warn you that I'm wrong more often than not.
I am liking Todman if MJD is out. He is of the same mold of Bobby Rainey who gashed that same Bills D last week.
Just wanted to rant a little bit. I started off the year really well. This was my draft (12 team PPR, 1 QB/1 RB/2 WR/1 Flex): QB - Luck, Bradford RB - Jamaal Charles, DeMarco Murray, Giovani Bernard WR - Julio Jones, Randall Cobb, Pierre Garcon, Josh Gordon, Kenny Britt TE - Gronkowski, Davis DEF - Bengals K - Dan Bailey I figured I'd play musical chairs at TE until Gronkowski got back on the field. I eventually ended up with Coby Fleener at that position. I lost a couple of games early in the season with defenses going off against me (thanks, Browns and Chiefs). Then I lost Jones and Cobb in quick succession. But my depth kept me going, but those costly losses eventually meant I couldn't get to the 2nd seed. After Bradford went down (conveniently during Luck's bye week), I played musical chairs at backup QB. First gambled on Palmer and lost, then eventually lucked out when somebody was dumb enough to drop Jay Cutler after his first injury. He picks up a second injury, and Luck starts getting a little shaky, so I picked up McCown. Which brings us to last week. Despite my misfortunes, I was still pretty confident about my chances of hoisting this trophy. I started McCown over Luck since I felt quite confident that he had a better matchup and would play better. The tougher decision was Murray vs. Bernard, but that turned out not to matter. But then my opponent (who I had just completely blown out in the last week of the regular season), had Brees, Colston and Graham. He taunted me about Luck going off on my bench. And then Gronkowski got injured. Well, #@%@%^@#$^%!@#$^!^$!$$@!#$^#^!!! In the end, McCown went off for nearly 40 points, but it didn't matter. McCown (39.4 pts) + Jamaal Charles (29.9 pts) + Josh Gordon (33.5 pts) + Murray (17.5 pts) + Pierre Garcon (8.7 pts, thanks for nothing). And I lost. Not fair. Can't stay mad at things beyond my control though. So I accept my fate.
Pick 2 please (.5 PPR): Edelman (@MIA) Jordy Nelson (@DAL) J. Witten (vs GB) Julius Thomas (vs SD) Also if you pick Witten and Thomas, should I start Edelman instead of Jordy Nelson? Thanks.
This is to go to the finals, what are y'all's thoughts? Quarterbacks: -Peyton Manning (vs SD) Wide Receivers: (pick 3) -Calvin Johnson (vs BAL) -Andre Johnson (@IND) -Vincent Jackson (@SD) -Harry Douglas (vs WAS) -Julian Edelman (@MIA) Running Backs: (pick 2) -Maurice Jones-Drew (vs BUF) -Ben Tate (@IND) -Danny Woodhead (@DEN) -CJ Spiller (@JAX) -Jacquizz Rodgers (vs WAS) Tight Ends: (pick 1) -Antonio Gates (@DEN) -Heath Miller (vs. CIN) -Owen Daniels (@IND) FLEX: (pick 1) -WR -RB -TE
WR Calvin Johnson Andre Johnson Harry Douglas RB Ben Tate Danny Woodhead TE Heath Miller Flex Antonio Gates At least these are the guys I would roll with if I were you. I'm expecting the Denver/San Diego game to be somewhat of a shootout as you can see and I would have said Spiller against Jax except they're pretty stout against the run.
hmmm, this is pretty different from what I was thinking. I was gonna go with Jones-drew and Spiller then woodhead or Edelman (With Gronk out) at the flex. I dont think I have played Miller all year and Tate is so inconsistent, I have a REALLY hard time starting him.
I personally wouldn't trust MJD in my championship game. He's been inconsistent throughout the season and isn't even going to be a full go till possibly game-time. Those calls are always tough to make. If anything I would only change the flex guy that I picked for you, instead of Gates play Edelman. Heath has been pretty consistent so far and he's bound to get in the end zone one of these games, so I'd stick with him at your TE spot.
Facing Peyton Manning this week (in my league, you get 7 pts/passing TD), so its not looking that great for me to make it to the finals Who should I start at QB: Ryan vs WAS Dalton vs PIT (free agent) Cutler vs CLE (free agent) Pick 2 Garcon vs ATL Nelson vs DAL V Jax vs SF Pick 1 Rainey vs SF P.Thomas vs STL C.Ivory vs CAR
