I am the opposite this year, ive made all the right decisions this year.

Started Matt Jones a few weeks back when he had that big game, started James White a couple weeks ago when he had that 2 TD game.

Today I did leave White and DGB on my bench in favor of Spencer Ware and Tyler Lockett, but didn't cost me too much as Antonio Brown and Roethlisberger both just went off for me.

Well gents, the Mariota advice singlehandedly got me to the dance.

Mind helping with my decisions this week? Currently selected players are bolded.

QB (1): Ryan Tannehill vs NYG, Marcus Mariota @ NYJ
RB (2): Tod Gurley vs Det, Ronnie Hillman vs Oak, C.J. Anderson vs Oak, Giovani Bernard vs Pit
WR (2): Antonio Brown @ Cin, Michael Crabtree @ Den, Golden Tate @ StL, Emmanuel Sanders vs Oak
TE (1): Heath Miller @ Cin, Zach Ertz vs Buf
Flex (1): Any RB, WR or TE that I don't play above. Currently have Golden Tate @ StL in there.
K(1): Nick Novak vs NE
Def(1): Tennessee @ NYJ but I anticipate streaming the wire


Avaliable FA (waiver till tomorrow morning) sorted by highest Yahoo projections for Week 14:
QB: Brian Hoyer vs NE, Tyrod Taylor @ Phi, Alex Smith vs SD, Sam Bradford vs Buff
RB: James White @ Hou, Darren Sproles vs Buf, Ameer Abdullay @ Stl
WR: Tavon Austin vs Det, Cecil Shorts III vs NE, Nate Washington vs NE, DeVante Parker vs NYG
TE: Coby Fleener @ Jax, Charles Clay @ Phi, Austin Jenkins vs NO
Will Tye @ Mia
K: Brandon McManus vs Oak, Matt Bryant @ Car, Sebastian Janikowski @ Den
Connor Barth vs NO
Def: Philadelphia vs Buf, Tampa Bay vs NO, New York Giants @ Mia, Indianapolis @ Jax, Buffalo @ Phi

I'd take Jenkins off the waiver wire and drop Ertz. I picked up Smith this week, but I'm playing Mariota. I also like James White or Bernard better than Anderson or Hillman if you're playing PPR. For the defenses, I'd probably go with either Philly or Buffalo.

Got Philly and Taylor off of waivers. (Hoyer too for my kicker in case the Taylor waiver failed). Will now pick up Jenkins and drop one of my QB for a kicker.

So QB roster now includes:
Tyrod Taylor @ Phi
Ryan Tannehill vs NYG
Brian Hoyer vs NE
Andrew Luck @ Jax (forget to mention earlier I have him stashed just in case)

Who do I start and who do I drop for a kicker???

Really praying the Vikings D steps up tonight. My opponent this week has Brown, Palmer, and Fitzgerald.

I have some dilemmas here for my PPR league. Need to choose between L. Murray, C. West, S. Ware, White, Bryant, and Sanders for two RB spots and 1 Flex.

So far I'm going with

Murray, West, and Sanders.

I'd sub out West for White, he seems to be the go to outlet for Brady right now.

And I wouldn't have high hopes for the Vikings D, starting two safeties they signed this week and missing their best coverage/pressure LB. Should be bombs away for the Cardinals passing offense.

I think Im in a tight spot here in the first week of my playoffs this weekend and Im a little torn on who to start at QB between ....

Bortles @ home vs IND
RBerger on road vs CIN

Im leaning towards Bortles right now at home vs an easier matchup but RBerger has been on a tear lately, I just dont like the match up. What to do, what to do?

Tough call...if it was me I would roll Big Ben...but I wouldn't be surprised if Bortles does better.

Yeah, I tend to agree with the "stick with your studs" ideology.

I need a win in this last week paired with a win by the guy in first for me to make the playoffs. Well, he is sewering his team to screw me. Lame.

Default Fantasy Football 2015 Thread

First week of playoffs are here and I'm incredibly torn about my RB and Flex situations. (Non-PPR, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex). Players in bold are my current choices to start.

RB
Devonta Freeman
Lamar Miller
Ronnie Hillman
James Starks
Shane Vereen

WR
A.J. Green
Randall Cobb
Eric Decker
Dorial Green-Beckham
Stefon Diggs (already played; sat)

Match-ups have me considering Vereen, Decker and DGB, but I haven't been able to convince myself to make a switch yet. Any suggestions?

I would do Decker for Cobb. Leave the rest as is.

Anyone else use fantasypros to import their yahoo league into? The 'my playbook' section on that site is pretty great... and free!

Thanks.

It's tough to sit Cobb just because of his perceived breakout potential, but Decker is so consistent I'm going to make the switch.

For me a bigger question now is Cobb vs. Hillman

Couple questions, hoping the responses match what I'm planning on doing to I can feel better about it, lol. It's a 1 pt PPR.

I need to start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex...

My RBs are: Devonta Freeman, CJ Anderson, DeMarco Murray, Charles Sims, David Cobb & I just picked up CJ Spiller.

My WRs are: Amari Cooper, OBJ, Michael Crabtree, Davante Adams

I've been rolling with Cooper/OBJ as my WRs and Crabtree as my flex down the stretch and I've been pretty successful with it. Freeman has been my one auto start at RB and I've flip flopped Anderson/Murray to much frustration all year.

As of right now, I'm planning on starting Spiller over Anderson/Murray. Anderson's injury concerns are quite high and Murray is a complete boom or bust with the arrow pointed directly at bust lately on that offence.

What would you guys do there? I was leaning towards starting Murray for much of the week but given the PPR format and likelihood of a shootout between TB/NO, Spiller could do well for me receiving-wise even if he doesn't rush for much.

OR should I pickup Sproles last second and take a chance there? Decisions, decisions.

made the playoffs in my 10 team standard scoring league (2 RB, 2 WR, 1 flex) and am unsure about my lineup this week ...

RB: Doug Martin, Javorius Allen, David Johnson (already played, was in the lineup as RB)
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Randall Cobb, Dez Bryant, Jeremy Maclin, Allen Hurns, Travis Benjamin

only sure about using Martin, but don't know about the rest. Cobb has been underwhelming and the other receivers have had lots of injury troubles ... Allen has a tough matchup. Right now I'd go Martin, Allen, Jeffery and Maclin, but really unsure here ...

OBCT - Hillman is scheduled to play, Chargers don't have the depth to throw the ball. Expect Broncos to take the lead and start pounding the ball with Hillman and co. Hillman over Cobb. Cobb can obviously break out too but something isn't right with that offence (mainly the OL) so my bets guess would be to play Hillman.

Trojan97 - If you don't pick up Sproles then do as you've planned on doing. Spiller in as 2nd back. 3 receivers being OBJ, Amari and Crabtree. You can drop Cobb and pickup Sproles and plug him in. Does the game matter this week? Either way you're 2nd back is Spiller or Sproles.

devo22 - Martin and Johnson as 2 backs. Jeffery, Dez and Maclin as 3 WRs.

All are my best guesses. Don't bash me if it all goes wrong lol.
