    Week 1 starts tomorrow.

    Feel free to post any questions about who you should start each week.

    Helpful:
    Make sure you add enough information.
    Include your scoring (PPR especially) if it is important.
    Mention all the options you have for the positions you need to fill.
    Including the opponents for the players that week helps so people don't have to look it up just to help you.



    Good Luck This Season!

    Should I start Stevie Johnson or Montee Ball at my flex? Non-PPR, leaning towards Ball

    I think you have to go Ball and hope for a touchdown, but you never know how Denver will use their running backs. Hillman is listed as the starter, many think Moreno will actually get more carries week 1, where does that leave Ball....

    Any other options besides those two?

    Stick with Ball. Cross your fingers for a TD.

    V. Jackson (T.B.) vs NYJ
    T.Y. Hilton (IND) vs OAK
    A. Brown (PIT) vs TEN
    J. Nelson (GB) vs S.F.

    Agree with above, bench Jordy, SF D is impressive and he might be your worst WR out of the bunch anyways.

    I would go McFadden. McFadden healthy is just better. Colts D isn't impressive. Dolphins could also still use Thomas more than you would like for. Until we see Miller's work load during a real game, I am slightly worried.

    i worry about oakland getting behind and having to throw the ball alot which mcfadden isnt a big threat. i conquer with you about having to see miller play but just trying to decide which risk to go with.

    i do also have to assume since oakland has no real passing threat at either wr or qb they have to figure to run the ball alot early.

    thanks as always for your input and response ivenovember

    14 Teamer...Need Flex Advice


    Shane Vareen or Montee Ball. Drafted Ball higher, but he seems to be in a 3-way timeshare. Vareen is just a change of pace guy, but it's a .5 PPR. Advice? Much appreciated in advance.

    I agree except an important fact: they can't throw the ball. Pryor can't throw a spiral and they don't really have receivers. So it'll be McFadden or Pryor running it wild.

    Pryor can throw the ball, his mechanics have gone from horrific to poor. Matt Flynn would be sacked more than Rob Johnson with the 03 Texans line.

    Raiders Oline is awwwwwwwful. The Dline is also atrocious. They will be constantly killed at the LOS.

    Their only chance is to try and use Pryor and McFadden in a zone read.

    Should I be benching Randall Cobb @ SF over my following receivers.

    Roddy White @ NO
    Dwayne Bowe @ Jax
    Pierre Garcon @ Phi

    Also, still can't decide if I should start Stafford @ Min over RG3 @ Phi. I keep flopping back and forth. Leaning on RG3.

    I'd go Ball for sure. HE has a much higher chance of scoring a touchdown, and now you have the Thursday night game to look forward to

    Ball wont score and will barely see the field. Vareen will have at least 6 catches.

    Should I start Felix Jones (PIT vs TEN), Ronnie Hillman (DEN vs BAL) or Montee Ball (DEN vs BAL) at my flex?

    Id go with ball. I know more doesn't like his chances but i feel he could get some red zone touches. Whether he scores idk, but i think he will have the opportunity to.

    Id go roddy white. Atl vs no could turn into a throw-a-thon. Id also go stafford, weaker competition and i would wait to see how rg3 has recovered

    I would go ball, see above.

    6 may be pushing it for a backup running back who had a total of 8 catches last year and never more then 2 in a game. And Denver is doing a drive-by-drive committee, so basically the RB's will switch off drives, which is better the switching off plays I guess.

    This is my first Team. Pretty eager to get the season started.

    Anyways to my question. I switched my TE today from Kyle Rudolph to Zach Sudfeld. Do you think that is a good move?
