Week 2 was bloody for many. Injuries all over the place.

1-1 in my important leagues. Won with Vereen and Charles as my RBs and left Asiata on the bench. Thankfully the guy had Colston and Chris Johnson in his starting lineup.

Added Knile Davis in one league to start this week.

Start/Sit questions-

Pick 1 for flex. PPR

Vereen, Kendall Wright, Danny Woodhead.

Leaning Woodhead. The Pats should be up on the Raiders and will likely pound Ridley again. Woodhead was a beast last year when Mathews was out. I don't buy his role staying the same as many reports have stated. He is going to get more snaps and touches.


Pick 2- PPR

Bradshaw, Asiata, Vereen- Set roster league. Can only carry 4 RBs. Charles is 4th RB.

Leaning Bradshaw and Asiata here. Similiar reasoning on Vereen as above. Asiata, while not a stud, is going to get the ball and the Saints defense hasn't been great.

4 not bad options. Asiata relied on his catches last week. I think Lacy, Gore and West have the best shot at finding the end zone. I go with them as well.

Rough start in my important league. I'm 0-2 (after a stat correction gave me the loss in week 1 by 0.4 points), but heavily favored in this week's matchup, so hopefully I can get on track. Lacy has been incredibly frustrating thus far, and I'm sure this week won't be easy sledding for him either. I did add Donald Brown, as he is supposed to pick up much of the slack left from Ryan Mathews injury. Let me know if you think I should make a change. Leaning toward putting Lacy in over Brown, because I've always been a big believer in playing your studs no matter what.So here's what I'm looking like this week, so far:
QB: Matt Ryan vs TB
WR: Alshon Jeffery @NYJ
WR: Vincent Jackson @ ATL
WR: Cecil Shorts vs IND
RB: LeVeon Bell @ CAR
RB: Donald Brown @ BUF
TE: Delanie Walker @ CIN
K: Justin Tucker @ CLE
DEF: Cleveland vs BAL

BENCH: Eddie Lacy @ DET, Toby Gerhart vs IND, Mark Ingram vs MIN (Out), Rueben Randle vs HOU, Greg Jennings @ NO, New Orleans D vs MIN

I'd definitely play Lacy over Brown.

I'm with Laley, Goon you should start Gore,West, and Lacy.

You guys think picking up the Colts D at Jax, instead of starting Denver D at Seattle is a good move?

I dunno, without Mathis that defense might get 5 sacks all year.

I'd still play Denver. Jags seem like a team that can completely suck one week but be pretty decent the next.

Need to play 4/5 (unless Charles is a go before the 1pm games kick off)

.5 PPR...rest is standard.

Hilton vs Jax
C Patterson vs NO
Jeffery (MNF) vs NYJ
Sanders vs Seattle
Hawkins vs Baltimore

Thanks. That's what I have plugged in but wanted to make sure I wasn't overthinking the Seattle D vs Peyton/Sanders.

Shoot, I hope you're wrong. I have Sanders and Demaryius.

Its possible. I feel I have solid options regardless, so I went with match-ups. I'm 0-2, so I need to win and decided to make the "smart" play.

Desean Jackson is killing me. Hopefully they either sit him or say he's going to be out there like he normally would.

Can't decide if I should just sit him and plug in Jonathan Stewart instead.

I just like the others over Sanders since Welker will be back + Seattle's D.

So Jackson is active but idk how healthy he'll be.

What do you guys think? Stewart vs Pittsburgh or Jackson vs Philly

I changed my mind right before kickoff. I think Asiata will score against NO. Sat Gore instead.

Hm, I appreciate the advice. However, it's probably the last time I will take your advice lol.

Fuck Eddie Lacy.

Dude is about to be the sole reason I drop to 0-3. Gonna lose all 3 by around 10 points...with him getting about 5 total in those 3 weeks
