Who would you claim: Tyrod or Dalton?

One week bye fill-in or ROS? If the former then T-Mobile as they get to play the pathetic Bears whereas CIN is facing a KC squad that should be mad after getting schooled by A-Rod and the Pack. Longer term I'd go with Dalton although be aware he's prone to fading down the stretch and having a terrible game at the worst possible time for fantasy owners.

It's gonna be for ROS as Rivers and Bradford aren't getting it done for me.

Dropping Bradford and may actually grab both Dalton and Tyrod. Dalton has first priority though.

I'm looking ahead for next week... since I didn't get my claim on Dunbar. I need a fill in qb for newton in week 5.

Flacco vs browns (don't really like)
Vick vs saints (could be good)
Mariota vs bills.. (don't like)

Winston (jag), bortles(bucs), smith(bears)

I'm currently 3-0 so I can be a little risky. I'm leaning on Vick, but others can be tempting.

What do you guys think about Tyrod, is he a decent start this week vs NYG?

He's thrown over 70% completion rate in his last 3 games, 7 TD, 3 int, averaging 240 yds passing per game. Is this kid legit?

I think so, until further notice I would say he is a top 12 QB.

I like him despite the tough passing game vs NE, Giants are 2nd to last in Pass Cov. What are your other options?

The Browns are the worst D out of those options, so Flacco is a decent option at home. Saints are at the Eagles next week boss.

Should I gamble on Andre Ellington this week? The only RB I have besides him, is David Johnson or McFadden though. =( Injuries are killing me this season.

If he plays then yes. You could always take a gamble on starting Khiry Robinson or Theo Riddick who should be available to pick up

I just worry, even if he plays, CJ2k having such a good game last week will keep Ellington limited in carries (and points for me).

Same with McFadden and Randle, though, he is a bigger back and might vulture a TD or two.

Ellington is on my bench. We have exact similar logic. Sadly that injury might of killed it for him, kinda like how Alex Smith and the 49ers.

It sucks my RB core is doing pretty terrible in general. Not having Ellington is proving costly. My best RB is Mark Ingram... I drafted CJ Anderson and he has been utter crap. Thankfully, I got super lucky the other week with David Johnson going off (special teams TDs count!), but I need some production.

Andrew Luck - Draft Kings

I have 6 line ups. One has Andrew Luck. Should I give up all hope that he will play now or just give up and fix that line up?

Decided to take a gamble and picked up C Mike. He got reps with the first team offense and is a beast of an athlete. I expect him to prove he can be in the rotation soon and likely next week he should get some more reps!

My core is hit or miss. Forte, spiller,sproles, Ellington and sankey (just dropped). Ellington was my clear rb2 but now it's just a wash, all my RB aside from forte is a cap shoot

Heh, my core is Ingram, Anderson, Ellington and D. Johnson. Anderson has just been so crap. I don't know what is up, but he is going to lose the starting spot soon and I'm out of luck.

That's an interesting idea. Probably makes more sense than the RB2 from Buffalo.

Ingram is nice in PPR leagues. That's all I am in this year.
