    I think McKinnon has the highest floor. Fuller has a bad matchup. Cobb is ailing. Ty is an unknown but could get the targets. I would go mckinnon since the other two play tonight and those Thursday games haven't been the best for receivers.

    really? AJ green just went crazy not too long ago. Also fitz & kerley. If you have a solid WR in a good matchup don't hesitate to play it. A thursday game isn't a valid excuse to bench someone.

    Yeah, mainly I was thinking Cobb was hurt and Ty unknown but now that i see that Cobb isnt on the injury report then i would probably start him or Mckinnon.

    yeah its kind of a tough call. McKinnon hasn't done much since taking over at rb but he'll get carries by default. And Cobb has reached a certain ceiling for his weekly production now that jordy is back. I'd give the edge to Cobb though since hes been playing fairly well the last two weeks and it's against chicago after a pretty bad loss a few days ago

    I'm so tempted to start Montgomery over Crabtree but have a gut feeling it will backfire on me. my conundrum below.

    WR1/2: M.Evans, A.Jeffery
    Flex: Crabtree? M.Thomas? Montgomery?

    Any ideas?

    Also have a trade pending too in my other league. My Mike Evans/Jameis for either his 1) Jordan Howard/Marvin Jones 2) Ware/Jamaal combo

    Which side would you recommend me taking? Team below:

    QB: Newton, Winston
    RB: Matt Jones, R.Mathews, Bernard, Gillislee, M.Davis
    WR: Odell, Evans, Crowder, Fuller, Montgomery

    I would keep Evans over any of those deals, think you can get a better RB than the Ware/Jamaal combo.

    Maybe try to get DeMarco Murray or Christine Michael + WR3.

    I benched Jordy Nelson last night for all the wrong reasons but it worked out beautifully.

    I really hope this isn't the start of a downward trend for Nelson.

    Had a combined 5.3 points from Nelson, Meredith, and Howard yesterday. o_O

    PIck one:

    James White @ Pit
    Julian Edelman @ Pit
    Will Fuller @ Den
    Golden Tate vs. Wash

    Standard scoring. I'm leaning James White.

    I'd go with edelman personally. Pits is horrible at covering the slot. I think he breaks out this game

    It seems to me James White is being used almost like a slot receiver though, similar to Dion Lewis. Edelman just doesn't seem to have it this year. This will be a tough call.

    Without question I play Golden Tate. Washington is a funnel defense and without Eric Ebron, Theo Riddick, or a run game worth a spit, it is going to be all Stafford all the time.

    yep, i'd go Tate as well. In addition to the above, you are able to remove yourself from the risk/randomness of Brady spreading the wealth

    Marcus Mariota vs. IND
