I'd go with Flacco because of the matchup.

Gerb, I'd go with Law Firm. Guaranteed touches. DJax played second fiddle to Maclin the other day.

Colli ewont free anything up for Wayne. He isnt good enough to shift coverage, he is good enough to see a TON more looks as the #2 WR. Waynes targets and Collies will both be around the same, imo. Also, lets not forget the Colts were down big and couldnt run on Chicago. They wont throw that much this week, hopefully.

12-Team 0.5 PPR -- 1 point per 8 receiving/10 rushing yards

Flex spot:
RB Alfred Morris -OR- WR Kyle Ogletree

Morris had a tank game, but he plays in a Shanahanigans offense. Ogletree also had a huge game, but he's know for being inconsistent.

What do you guys think?

Tough choice because you don't have an idea on either of their consistency. But given the scoring, and Shanahan, I would go Ogletree.

Oh man, Stafford and not even close.

People are forgetting that PHI has one of the best pass defenses in the league (counting last year and last week).

SF has a great defense as well, and when both options are tough, you HAVE to go with your "stud".

Everyone is scared of his bad week - but i was reading a pats beat writer saying he thinks welker is out of shape and possibly hurt. I also don't want to trade him until he has a good week because people forget how much of a beast he is in PPR.

People in my league, probably every league, want something for nothing. Some bimbo offered me D. Thomas and Sprole for Ray Rice, gtfo. These players were on her bench.

Highly doubt welker is out of shape, Highly doubt it. Everyone is freaking out about one game, he had a game last year similar to this. Pats got up big and he wasn't used much. He'll have a bounce back week and everyone will forget this. He was the #2 WR in fantasy last year (least in my league). Dude's money in the bank for 1000 yds+ and 100 catches.

Funny with a guy like Welker who's done it consistently since 07, has a bad game and everyone flips. Now a guy like Andre Johnson who's played a full season only once that I can recall and he gets a free pass.

Completely agree and its not just cause I got Welker on my team. Its kinda funny you brought up Johnson because in my league a guy picked him right after I picked Welker and made some dumb comment after the first week about how bad my pick was lol. Everyone can have a terrible game it just so happens Welker's was in the first one. Now if it continues to where he doesn't get a lot of targets then I'll start to be concerned.

That's a tough one.

In a PPR, I'd go with Antonio Brown.

In a non-PPR, I'd go with Donald Brown.

It's close, though.

Got two of them. 12-Team PPR.

TE:
J. Tamme (DEN) -- The guy has played with Manning before, so there is some chemistry there, and he had a decent day in Week 1.
S. Chandler (BUF) -- With the loss of Nelson for the rest of the year, and with Chandler grabbing six receptions in Week 1, it seems like his workload will only increase.
C. Fleener (IND) -- Had a solid game in Week 1. Luck targeted him 10 times. Hauled in 6 catches for 82 yards. Dwayne Allen didn't see a single target.

Flex:
T. Richardson (CLE) -- I admit it. I'm skittish after seeing that abysmal performance of the Browns in Week 1. Until the Browns can establish a passing game to keep defenses from stuffing eight in the box, I'm hesitant to expect much out of him, despite his otherwise big game potential.
K. Ogletree (DAL) -- It was only one game, and the guy is known for his inconsistency, but he did pretty much go ape nuts in Week 1.

If not, obviously Meachem.
