I hear ya, so far in the ATOT Money league my RB corps has been going down faster than the drummers from Spinal Tap; I've lost Arian Foster, Dion Lewis, Ahmad Bradshaw, Mark Ingram, and Thomas Rawls.

Same boat. Except I lost last week due to Injuries destroying my team. =(

For next week, Carr vs Green Bay or AJ Mccarron vs SF? Definitely like the matchup vs SF...

This is in a 2QB league...my other QB is A Rogers...

You gotta go Rodgers with McCarthy calling the shots and rejuvenating open looks for Cobb. Carr would be the next best play.

God i'm all messed up in the head with my line up. I went from my lineup being 90% LOCKED IN every week to a whole bunch of who is going to do better this week players.

PPR LEAGUE

QB=CAM No brainer
RB = Macfadden ( Jets )
RB2 = Forte ( Vikings)
WR1 = Julio (jax)
WR2 = Decker (dallas)
WR3 = B.Cooks (Lions)
TE = Branidge ( Seahawsk)
FLEX = John Brown ( Philly)

Bench= Eifert ( SF) , Langford (MIN), Hightower (Lions) , Denard Robinson (ATL), had Dejuan Harris Now dropped.

My Flex and my RB is where i'm going to be changing things up. I'm thinking of benching Forte for Robinson and Benching Cooks for Hightower. Everyone on my team CAN drop 40 points any given week. Just need this week to get me IN THE MONEY!

HELP!

No need to panic. Denard over McFadden simply based on matchup and the fact that the Jags are in we-have-to-win-now mode and he is less beat up than DMC.

Forte has been trending upward (running-wise, up and down receiving-wise) so I like him despite not liking his Oline.

Hightower would have to get it done off volume alone, he isn't showing much chops regarding skill (although his PP is good which is why he's in there over CJ). You'd have to hope that Detroit plays i-dont-give-a-shit-because-our-record-sucks football in a meaningless game. Not confident over Denard since Spiller will steal passing down touches.

Barnidge vs Eifert, I don't have metrics for TEs but obviously Eifert has the easier matchup despite no Dalton. I would monitor his health, because there's a very real chance that Seattle holds CLE to very little points with that crowd noise (+ Manziel's inexperience) so that limits Barnidge's ceiling... and the fact of the matter is that Eifert is a better bet for a TD which is what you want in standard leagues.

Receivers look good, although Brandon Marshall has an insanely easy matchup this week vs Claiborne and Decker's matchup is more even vs Byron Jones so analysts are expecting BMarsh to be the go to guy this week instead of Decker. Not a big deal though, Decker seems to always get his regardless of matchup.

SP33Demon, which Cardinals receiver has the best shot of exploiting a juicy matchup with Philly?
Click to expand...
John Brown, a +37 vs Maxwell. Floyd is +10 vs Rowe, and Fitz +5 vs Jenkins. My bet is on Brown or Floyd with Floyd more likely to score but Brown more likely to have more yards. Fitz is getting some love on certain sites but Jenkins is a top 3 cover back this year, so unless AZ schemes for Fitz outside of the slot then he's not as good a bet as Brown or Floyd.

It's a solid matchup since he'll be an every down back which is a luxury nowadays.

Part of logic for benching forte. But still u can make a case for forte as well.

I might have to let the coin choose for me. Jags aren't exactly the best so if they are down, he could be useless.

Any advice on these choices?

Delaine Walker or Eifert?
Allen Hurns, Javorious Allen, TJ Yeldon, Rishard Matthews at flex? (or the other TE?)
Click to expand...

I'd go with Delanie.

I'm in the same boat regarding Javorious Allen.

Should I start Allen or Denard Washington(picked him up today) in my Flex position?

hmmm

Walker for the simple fact that he isn't injured and playing with a backup QB. Devin McCourty is out and while Harmon is good, he's not as good as McCourty. Pats LBs will be without Freeny and SS Chung let TE Ryan Griffin get open a bunch of times vs the Texans (Griffin is nowhere near Delanie's elite level). All in all it's not a great matchup, but Delanie has proven that he will get his 7 catches a game regardless of opponent and regardless of situation (like garbage time feeding last week). I wouldn't expect a TD, but unless Belichick specifically schemes to take Delanie away from Mariota, Delanie should be fine. Even in garbage time, I like his chances. Remember last game vs the Jets? He had 4 catches for 40+ in the final drive of the 4th quarter alone. Up to that point, the Jets held him to 3 catches for 30 yards. Denard Hopkins had a 40yd catch in garbage time as well vs the Pats.

Hurns doesn't have a great matchup this week vs Trufant. I would avoid if possible, Allen Robinson will be the big target this week (last week was reversed because of Vontae Davis). Buck Allen, not a fan vs Seattle. Yeldon obviously out. Rishard Matthews has missed the past 2 games, I wouldn't trust him either. There are many other TEs you could flex this week like Ebron, Zach Miller, and Ben Watson which are slightly better matchups than Hurns.

Damnit. I'm indecisive on Ivory vs. Denard.

Ivory is so inconsistent but he's playing @Dallas 6th.
Denard is gonna hit a ton of touches vs ATL at home ranked 2nd.
I kept Gurley in for tonight.
 
I don't know if I should leave Antonio Brown in against Denver, or roll the dice on Julio Jones against the Jaguars. The match-up screams Julio, but he's been really flat for a while now.

You know your team has hit dumpster fire status when Buck Allen is your only starting RB left.

Don't feel bad, I'm down to Mcfadden and bilal powell in the PPR semifinals going up against shady and AP. Luckily I have julio maclin but we'll see what happens, I'm definitely the underdog. I may even start Fozzy over Mcfadden who will probably do nothing against the Jets since they can stack the box given that Cassel is a trainwreck and Dez had 3 drops last week. At least the Giants are giving up over 4 adjusted yards per rush and not in the top half of run defenses this week.

Dallas is a vortex of fantasy nothingness since they like to run the ball a lot and kill clock. Luckily, the Jets have a killer run D and will probably flip the script on them. If that happens, then Ivory/Powell are good bets. Since Gurley hit his projection last night, you can probably incur a little more risk... which means I'd go with the every down back Denard over the Ivory/Powell split which is looking more and more like a 50/50 despite Ivory still putting up great metrics. The problem is that Powell has also improved in every aspect every game as well and the coaches have noticed by giving him more touches. Predicting a TD for Ivory or Powell is a total crapshoot, whereas you know if the Jags get on the 1 they'll probably go Denard. The risk is that the Jags like to throw more than run in the red zone for obvious reasons.

Yeah, Julio mainly because although Antonio is going to get his catches vs Roby he's not going to get much YAC (yards after the catch) vs Denver - Denver has been great at limiting that. Julio will get YAC vs JAX, and I expect Matty Ice to go back to his bread and butter after getting shut out last week.

Both? What other WRs you got?
Click to expand...

I've lucked out on my WRs peaking at the right time. We play 3 WRs and my other (current) starters are:

Allen Robinson against ATL
Doug Baldwin against CLE (who has just exploded the last few weeks w/ Seattle getting their passing game going, so I'm hoping it'll continue against a team like the Browns)

I think it's a pretty sure thing to start both of those, so that's why I'm torn between JJones and Brown.

I think I'm going with Julio. It feels wrong to bench a receiver of Browns caliber, but I feel like I have better options.
 
David Johnson just whooped my team.

I'm down 21 points now. I have the choice of cooks or Hightower in a ppr legue.... what u guys think?

I'm leaning in hightower. Even if the saints are a throwing team. Cooks would need his normal 5 catchs,100 yards and a score. But might get lucky with hightower doing the same, Ingram was always good for 110 yards.
