Major win for Forte owners. |
Yeah, I was surprised too. Also surprising? Very few pass targets. One thing about Forte is he isny really a violent runner so he might be able to hold up. He also didnt play what last couple months of last year? |

Anyone ever have that struggle where you're in two leagues and you're playing against one of your players?

Happened with me for Lamar Miller today. Actually worked out ok. Only had 11.7 points in the LG league, but in the league I have him he went for 16 (different scoring system). |

Man. Stefon Diggs. I drafted OBJ, Brandon Marshall, Doug Baldwin and then Diggs as my backup/sleeper.
It may be time to play Diggs at flex with Baldwin down. |

Forte has missed 8 games in his 8-season career, he is tough as nails. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

So much for my thought that Winston could get it done yesterday.
I have Diggs in the biggest league I'm in. Got him as my fifth WR. (I have AJ, Alshon, Moncrief, Floyd, Diggs, and Lockett.) I think he's going to start for me from now on. |

Is anyone starting Edelman on a short week against HOU (with a brand new QB)? I am in a half-point ppr 12 man league, and I need someone for my flex spot. My other options are Emmanuel Sanders (awful so far), Sanu (boom or bust), McKinnon (drafted him, but worried about Asiata), or Tevin Coleman (I am already starting Devonta Freeman). I am leaning toward starting Edelman given my options. |

So last week i started Jameis against Arizona and we saw how that turned out haha. My other option was Tyrod...
So this week, its Tyrod's turn against Arizona and Jameis against the Rams. Who do i start? the waivers are picked dry...Sam Bradford is available @ Carolina. what do i do? go with Jameis again? haha not sure if I want to play Tyrod against the cards after seeing what they did to Jameis. |

I could see what VLF was talking about with Langford. He isn't good and just keeps scoring lucky short TD's. Howard looked considerably better in his brief time out there. In deep leagues, I don't mind stashing Howard. It's most likely going to be a while before they just bench Langford entirely, if at all, though. But it's easy to see that Howard looks much quicker. Langford's a plodder. |

I am too scared of the 3rd string qb situation. I had Antonio Brown last year, and he was absolutely atrocious without Big Ben. Also, if Brissett goes down (likely against JJ Watt and co), Edelman becomes the patriots qb and is a risk for negative points (although, the idea of potentially having two qbs in a lineup is interesting ). McKinnon is too risky imo with the timeshare breakdown uncertainty. As a result, I have decided to roll the dice with Freeman at RB2 and Coleman at Flex (thankfully, I have CJ Anderson as my RB1)! |

I agree with this only because Sammy Watkins is banged up. At least, Winston has Mike Evans. However, I would definitely look for someone on the waiver wire (maybe Flacco or, dare I say, Tanehill is available). |

I drafted Jordan Howard in my 12-teamer because I didnt believe in Langford long time. But, until he loses his job, you have to keep him because of the volume. Once the volume changes for the worse, safer to drop him. |

Of those available, I think Dak is the best. The matchup this coming Sunday night at home against Chicago is fantastic. The Bears pass D was already bad, and now they've lost top pass rusher Lamarr Houston. And he still hasn't thrown a TD through 2 weeks (ran one in last week). At least 1 TD pass coming, and maybe 2, this week. |

Mariota should be decent. I am contemplating starting him over Bortles this week.
Charles is highly questionable for Sunday. I have Spencer Ware in one of my leagues too, and it's an annoying situation because of the uncertainty. I would avoid Ware unless you have no other options because the Jets run D is also pretty good. |

so that brings me to a question i had...
do you start Demarco Murray & Spencer Ware as your 2 RBs and start Melvin Gordon at your flex....orrrrrr do you start Murray & Gordon at the RB slots and Michael Floyd or Frank Gore at the flex and bench Ware..my two WRs are Antonio brown & Mike Evans
Im leaning towards benching Ware..just not sure for whom..Floyd or Gore |

Given the players you have, I would probably play Ware at flex with Gordon/Murray at RB.
I think Michael Floyd has the highest ceiling but also the lowest floor. Gore has a low floor and a low ceiling. Ware is the safer play and will probably guarantee you get 7-8 points or so if Jamaal isn't playing.
I also would look at your opponent and see if you can play your matchup. Do you need to gamble? Play Floyd. Do you just need 7-8 pts min? Go Ware. |

I have Floyd, and he's been terrible so far. He does not even get that many targets, so he is not helping in PPR leagues either. Also, I am a Colts fan, and Gore is arguably the worst RB in the league (especially, given the team he is on). The Colts will have Andrew Luck fire away all game (~40 pass attempts) because the defense is atrocious. Start Ware. |
