Any thoughts on defenses this week?

Right now i'm rolling with the Jets vs Buffalo

Zona and Denver look promising.

Pierre Thomas or Andre Ellington

not ppr but get pts for every yard rushing or catching

I'd roll with Gordon and Ellington.

Trade:

MoJoD and Fitz

for

Boynkins and Antonio Brown

I picked up Jets vs Buffalo...banged up bills team, Saints vs San Fran at home...saints haven't given up more than 17 at home all season. Someone just dropped Houston dst so I'm looking at that one too.

With Gonzo hurting and Dez on a bye, I started Coby Fleener and Kendall Wright last night. No TDs, but they combined for 17 catches and 187 yards. Thank you bench!

If you have viable options at RB I say do it.

I also have Knowshon, Rasahrd Jeenings, Ellington, and picked up Obannaya.

I made the trade. Fitz has been on my bench ever since I picked up Keenan Allen.

I also scooped Riley Cooper. With Megatron and now A. Brown my WRs are as strong as any team in the league.

To me it was Fitz for Brown, as MoJo D was not going to sniff my starting lineup.

Ok, here is the question...

Keenan Allen, or rashard Jennings in the flex. I think I have ruled out cooper and boynkins.

I suppose I could sit Ellington also, but I don't see that happening

Allen

Do I start Boykin over Jeffery this week?

Supposed to be some nasty weather and wind in the Chicago/Baltimore game.

Also, should I consider siting AJ Green vs Cleveland (Joe Haden) in similar weather?

Got :

Obanayya, Keenan Allen, or Ellington

for the flex.

Thoughts?

So Ben Tate couldnt run against the Jags. Does he have any value going forward?

Looks like Tate will remain the starter.

PPR: Ben Tate vs NE or Kendall Wright vs Colts?

I am thinking Wright but didn't the Broncos just rush for 2000 yards on the Pats?

Wright

I have Fleener and Gonzo in two leagues. I am thinking Fleener but the pros seem to be favoring Gonzo. Who do you like? Would you ever start one in each league in a situation like this?

Fleener

Z Stacy or v Jackson in flex spot

Stacy is coming of a concussion playing 49ers
Jackson playing Carolina

Made the wrong plays. Wright outscored by Tate by 15 and Fleener outscored by Gonzo by 6. Hoping to still win in both despite the misplays.

Fleener is a b*tch! All he had to do was break 1 tackle and he would have got a touchdown with ~2 minutes left in the game.

I saw that too. Really needed that TD.

Boykin funk me in both leagues putting up a goose egg. Costing me a shot at the playoffs in one, and high score ($20) in another.

No one asked me for Green Bay player advice. Mine would be to sit them other than Jordy and Lacy (who just had a bad week).

I am down 20 with Skittles and Haushka against Hartley tonight to decide the regular season championship and $100 bonus. If I had played Tate it would have been all but over. I dont think I will be sitting him again. The trick will be to sit one of my WRs (Bryant, Torrey Smith, Kendall Wright) who have all be very productive for me.

Don't bite too hard on Tate. He has been mediocre at best. The patriots made him look like the second coming of AP

2 total rushing TD's all year for the Texans until the Patriots came to town.

Chasing 11 points tonight in one of my leagues, he has no one left and I have Pierre Thomas and Hartley. It's a must win for me in order to get in. I would have already had it in the bag but decided to play Luck instead of Alex Smith.

I realize Tate wont score TDs every week but he will get a ton of touches. Patriots have the #31 running defense. I should have just gone with that except I was a bit worried after he was benched for Dennis Johnson last week. Tate will be facing the Jaguars (#28) and Colts (#26) the next two weeks. I am all in next week on Tate. His bruised ribs are only getting healthier. He may just be my key to the championship.

How'd you end up doing this week? Told you not to bite hard on him

Will Dan Bailey (DAL K) score 14 points tonight? Will my playoff run continue? These two questions are closely intertwined.

Win this week, guaranteed 1st or 2nd place $$. Lose this week, get nothing.

p.s. Screw you, Keenan Allen. I'll hate you forever.

I played Fitzgerald over Luck and Jared Cook over Clay...

...and still won with the high point total!

Thank you Keenan Allen and KC D, as well as my 12:50 PM pick up on Sunday Marcel Reece!

The guy I'm playing grabbed him over my claim in waivers this week. It particularly stings.
