    Non-ppr

    If Penny sits do I play Carson over Ekeler?

    Also start Wentz or Rivers?

  2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Think so, incredibly tough call- two awesome options. I’d prob play Carson in STD if Penny sat, if it were my team. They would be close to back2back in our rankings- and both basically Top 10 plays. Find a way to get both in!

    Probably stick w/ the rankings and play Wentz, esp if healthy sounds like a go. Again, two really good options only a few spots apart. If you are worried about Carson- I think Rivers is great play too – but a lot of work goes into the rankings so I’m going to stick with those. If you have a different gut feeling- I’ll sign off on Rivers all day.

      “esp if Alshon is healthy to play and sounds like a go”

    Team name The Truth Ertz (0-2) x2
    Full ppr-need a wr and a flex from:
    ARob, McLaurin, CSamuel and Duke
    Thanks guys

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      ARob + Samuel at WR

      Prob Duke at Flex based on matchup and game total

  4. ↓ Post By sdboor

    In PPR pick 2 WR and 1 Flex
    Boyd, LFitz, and SWatkins, CRidley
    TGurley

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob Boyd + Fitz + Watkins in PPR and Flex Gurley– hate leaving Ridley on the bench- but hey that’s the price you pay for being a RosterWatch King.

  5. ↓ Post By Undertakers

    Standard, bonuses over 100 yards
    need 1 for flex spot
    RBs Kerryon Johnson, Ingram or TE Ertz

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      If Alshon sits- easy call is Ertz

      If Alshon goes– I might consider a pivot to Ingram

  6. ↓ Post By clublevel

    For .5 ppr go with the rankings John brown over julian Edelman?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Basically back to back in our updated rankings – Brown by a hair- currently. I think you are fine with either.

      If you are more comfortable w/ Brady and the great matchup minus Antonio Brown– Edelman is a fine play who also has solid upside. He is playing slightly higher snap count than Brown, and his targets should come back up- he had 11 in WK 1. Just worry about the other options, and if the Pats blow NYJ out.

      Tough call- I’d prob stick with the rankings in .5 ppr

  7. ↓ Post By sdboor

    In PPR. Pick 2 for me to own ROW
    Fitz, Ridley MBrown Baltimore

    1. ↓ Post By clublevel

      Dang that’s pretty close all of them are good

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Impossible man. Fitz for sure- then you have to toss a coin on the other 2. Think you would prob have to bet on Brown over Ridley ROS – but man this better be for some kind of trade- Ridley is very valuable

  8. ↓ Post By DJ

    Might be a too-early question, but need 2 – Jeffery (if he plays), J Gordon, Agholor, Dorsett? Need upside for an 0-2 team…thanks!!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Def Gordon and if Alshon sits the obvious play is Agholor. If Alshon goes I think you have to play him. Can’t feel bad about starting Josh Gordon and Alshon Jeffery when you need a win

  9. ↓ Post By R A

    Best defense streamer between Cardinals, Redskins, and Brown? I already have Baltimore, not sure it’s safe to roll with them this week.

    If you think it’s best to stream one of the m those 3, should I drop Sutton or Duke?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      jeez- those are some bottom barrel options. Is TB not avail? Or, any of the other defenses at bottom of Waiver Wire sheet?

      Def not playing WAS vs CHI or CLE vs LAR—–see an argument for ARI at home vs CAM-less CAR- but sure is tough to bench BAL for a shitty ARI def- you would rarely ever play.

      1. ↓ Post By R A

        Thanks for the input Byron! I just double checked. Packers, Eagles, 49ers, and Bucs all got scooped up earlier this week. All the others were already taken. I slept too long! I’ll just roll with Ravens D. Sucks though, I have Mahomes in another league.

        One more thing, please pick two of the following for full PPR. Mixon, Kupp, Kittle, and Andrews. Last two flex spots for the week

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          Wow, so many good options- prob Andrews and Kupp in PPR— doesn’t really seem like you can go wrong

  10. ↓ Post By grh1988

    Should I bench Freeman for Gore?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Don’t think so- would follow rankings- but if you wanted to we wouldn’t argue.

  11. ↓ Post By freebird

    Standard scoring, deep at WR. Should I drop John Ross for a more valuable ROS RB or TE. Available players: Hockenson, Herndon, Jaylen Samuels, and Justice Hill.

    And, just checking that Brees should be kept (I also have Lamar Jackson) at this point.

  12. ↓ Post By gr8one_22@hotmail.com

    2 QB League, PPR, have been rolling with Mahomes and Wentz but now with Wentz WR corps looking rough do I bench him and play Allen? Allen has the better matchup.

  13. ↓ Post By ghalajian@yahoo.com

    1/2 point ppr. In a pinch here. Malcolm Brown or Tony Pollard. If it matters I have Zeke, thanks
