Fantasy football 2015

Bortles has been better than Brees all season and the last couple of weeks, in particular, but he gets ATL's defense this week, while Brees is at DET. I'm leaning toward Brees.

I've got some lousy match ups at WR. Trying to choose between: Cobb, Amari Cooper, TY Hilton and Ginn to fill three slots. I'm leaning toward Cobb, Cooper and Ginn. The Colts are facing the Texans and I'm not sure Hasselbeck or Luck is going to be able to get off any throws.

At running back, I lost Rawls, so I'm left to roll with Devonta Freeman at JAX, Gore at HOU, McFadden vs. NYJ or Yeldon (if he plays) vs. ATL. If Yeldon plays, I'll probably run him with Freeman. If not, it's a tossup between Gore and McFadden. McFadden faces the best run defense in the league, so I'm leaning toward Gore.

 

You might want to think about picking up Denard Robinson if Yeldon is out. That seems like a juicy matchup.

I haven't looked too closely at all of my choices yet, but I do have a couple dilemmas with one team.

I've been riding very nicely with Bortles at QB, but I also picked up Stafford after he was cut during his awful phase earlier this season. This week Stafford faces the Saints. I'm starting to think that is too good a matchup to ignore, especially since the Falcons haven't given up a ton of passing yards.

Also, Gurley finally had another huge game last week, but I'm worried that he's a little nicked up and has to come back on a short week in the Thursday night game. My other RBs are Chris Ivory and David Johnson (hoping Ellington doesn't make it back this week), and I have Allen Hurns and Jeremy Maclin to use as a flex (my starting WRs are etched in stone -- Beckham and Decker).

 

I put in a claim on Robinson, but I had 11th waiver priority and missed out. Even worse, my opponent this week is the one who got him.

Coincidentally, my opponent also has Stafford playing against Brees on Monday night.

 

Had the first week bye and ready to play someone who absolutely throttled me earlier in the season.
As it stands now:
Wilson
McCoy
Hightower
OBJ
Calvin Johnson
Barnidge
Hurns
Boswell
Steelers

Bench:
West, Ware, Starks, Langford, Bryce Brown, Tyrod Taylor

 

Still debating Palmer vs. Wilson as the starter for my top-seeded team.

 

PPR? Hurns at Flex? Or is it a WR/TE? If it's flex, I love West there. Gonna see a lot of work if Ware is out.

 

I like to read as many opinions as possible, so here goes:
1/2 point PPR League:
I have DeAndre, ODB and Dez, who I'd play at my flex. However, Dez is getting the boot and I can't figure out if I should put in John Brown, Tyler Locket or an RB.
at RB, I have Ivory and Hightower starting (Rawls injury killed me) with Gore, Denard Robinson and Branden Bolden on my bench.
Super tinker question - I'm terrified of Josh Norman. Saw a stat that he's given up like 90 yards combined to Julio, Dez and somebody else that's awesome. I can't bench ODB, right?

In the league I really want to make the final (no ppr), here's my lineup:
Brady, Evans and Amendola, Ivory and Bryce Brown, Eifert, Travis Benjamin (WR/TE).
Do I keep Bryce or play Latavius Murray vs GB? Bryce seems like a higher ceiling play, especially with Murray's recent struggles. The Seahawks signing Christine Michel doesn't make me feel great.
At WR/TE, I'm benching Benjamin. My options are LaFell, Stefon Diggs or Dontrelle Inman. Inman seems like the play solely based on targets. If I throw LaFell, I'm winning or losing with the Pats in a game that could be handoff city in the second half. Diggs would be more of a feel play (and I feel that CHI is gonna clog the box and force Bridgewater to throw).

 

Tough one but I'd go Wilson against the Browns.

 

It's PPR and WR/RB flex. If Ware isn't playing, then I'll start West. Hurns is just an automatic 17-19 points every week minus the two week stretch he had. And I think Calvin will have a decent game against New Orleans.

 

I just moved Gurley to the bench. I have a bad feeling about him for the reasons noted above, plus TB has been monstrous against the run lately.

I've got Ivory (love his matchup with Dallas) and David Johnson at RB and Hurns at flex.

Last chance for someone to talk some sense into me!

 

Play Gurley.

 

Gurley's either going for 40 yards or 240. Tampa's been solid against the run and I can't see them not stuffing the box.
