I'm facing the guy who had McFadden and Jacquizz Rodgers as his RB2 and 3. And he had Brady and Hogan. And DeSean Jackson. I'd better win.

I had Gillislee on my bench, start Melvin Gordon and DeMarco Murray at RB. Opted for Pierre Garcon at the flex instead of Gillislee. Kind of kicking myself but with the way NE runs that backfield how the hell can you know who's going to go off?

12 team PPR league, 11th pick. No kicker.

QB: Derek Carr
RB: Isaiah Crowell
RB: Kareem Hunt
WR: Mike Evans
WR: Martavis Bryant
RB/WR: Brandon Marshall
TE: Tyler Eifert
Flex: Mike Wallace
D/ST: Patriots

BN: Ezekiel Elliot
BN: Josh Doctson
BN: Matt Forte
BN: Shane Vereen

Took Elliot with my second pick. I probably reached for him but didn't think he'd last to the end of the third round. I think I covered myself pretty well if he's still suspended for the 6 six games though. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied especially if Elliot's suspension is completely overturned.

GAMBLE PAID OFF.

My league starts QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, D, K

Week 1 I started Demaryius Thomas and Kelvin Benjamin at WR and Pierre Garcon at the flex. Kelvin flopped but I don't usually like to overreact after one week. So curious to know what others would do. On my bench I have:

Corey Coleman WR
DeSean Jackson WR
Mike Gillislee RB
Theo Riddick RB

Garcon has a tough matchup @Seattle this week, not sure I want to keep him in at the Flex, thinking of starting Gillislee there. Keep Benjamin in and Coleman on the bench, or get Coleman in there? Thoughts?

If you're looking for help at RB keep an eye on D'onta Foreman for the Texans tonight. He's expected to get a heavier workload, and working behind Houston's garbage o-line he's more likely to create something from nothing than Lamar Miller is. At this point it feels like Miller is only going to get what's blocked for him.

Story Co.
Blount @ KC
Garcon @ Seattle
Hilton home against Arizona
Powell @ Oakland
Chris Carson home against San Fran

Which 2 would you go with? I'm leaning Blount and Garcon but could justify playing any of them except for TY. As long as Scott Tolzien is taking snaps, Hilton will most likely be riding pine for me. Probably too early to gamble on Carson but I feel pretty confident he will take over and be the guy in the backfield for Seattle at some point this season.

Probably Blount and Carson or maybe Powell. I don't like Garcon against Seattle's secondary. I have Hilton too and I'm ignoring him until someone proves they can get him the ball. I think the Jets are going to play from behind but if they somehow find their way inside the ten yard line he's a good bet to get the ball.

My dilemma is
Watkins against Washington (will probably draw Josh Norman)
or Maclin against Cleveland (Will probably draw their #2 cb)

both games are at home.

Right now I'm leaning toward Maclin.


Also Mariota or Rivers at QB?

Despite having Norman, Washington really gave it up to #1 WRs last year. I think Norman stays on his side for the most part, so they can move Sammy around and get him the ball. Also, I'm doubt Baltimore will need to pass much.

Sounds like Rawls will be back so that will cut into Carson's work. Plus, the Seahawks line always sucks at this point in the year.
