    I wouldn't trust Mariota. The Titans intend to pound the ball on the ground with a good dose of Murray and Henry. Plus that Vikings D is no joke. I'd go with Rivers. Alex Smith is not a bad choice against the chargers though.

    Ware over Morris for sure. Ware given Charles's injury at the moment, plus Ware might get goal line work regardless. TBD, but more potential IMO

    If you're in PPR (even 0.5 PPR), I'd cut Abdullah for Ware. Sims can be valuable. If you're in non-PPR and you don't have Doug Martin, it's a toss-up btwn Sims and Abdullah.

    I don't like either of those matchups, I might lean Rivers just because so few of SD's TDs come from the ground whereas Tennessee is much more likely to ground and pound into the end zone.

    What QBs are available on your wire? No Dak I assume. I think Shaun Hill is going to play instead of Bradford in Week 1.

    Matt Stafford is going to EAT against Indy. Maybe Brock Osweiler?

    Thanks Moes... yea, my QBs don't look good this week. Agree Rivers better than Mariota and hope The two KC injuries and a healthy K Allen and M Gordon turn things around.

    Unfortunately, Dak, Brock, and Stafford are all taken. Available QBs include Alex Smith, Joe Flacco, Bradford, and RGIII. Think I read where MIN says Bradford already has most of the offense down. But I suspect that means he knows which side to hand off to AP. :grin:

    Need to pick one of these 3 as my RB 2, 0.5 PPR

    Jeremy Langford @ Hou
    Isaiah Crowell @ Phi
    Matt Jones vs Pit

    I'm thinking Langford, but considering Crowell. Thoughts?

    I have Lesean Mccoy as my RB1 actually. Just need to pick between those three for my second. Who would you take between Jones and Langford?

    Jones is the worst option. Based on pure opportunity Langford is the pick. Crowell does also see goal line work. Jones is kind of ****ty and is stuck in a 3 headed backfield.

    Never take a defense that high.
    Never take a kicker that high.
    Don't draft a backup defense.
    If you use a high pick on a qb, don't draft a backup unless it's a great value high upside.
    Your wr corp is really bad, and you should aim for high upside players like Sheppard, not sign vets with downward trajectory.
    Same thing with rb.
    Rb is dying so WR is getting extremely important and you have no real depth at the position.

    Anyone going to take chance and pickup Marshawn Lynch? I picked him up in 2/3 leagues I'm in and one being a dynasty league. Figured why not.

    Pick 2 out of the 3:

    Moncrief, Ware, Matthews for my Flexes.

    Going so far with Ware/Matthews.

    OK, just in case I signed Alex Smith for this week. So... Smith versus SD, or Rivers versus KC?
