Newton at Denver or Cousins against the Steelers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've always been a fan of riding your elite guys (especially in week 1), so I'd go with Newton, even in a difficult matchup.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Tyler Lockett or Mike Wallace or terrelle Pryor. Need two.

Newton. I tend to ride my studs unless they're hurt.

Definitely Lockett. Wallace feels like both the safer bet for 50 yards and a more likely guy to get a TD, so Wallace. I've paid zero attention to Pryor though so maybe that's not accurate.

Like every pick except Melvin Gordon who I'm down on, but no doubt he's got upside. Nice work.

Thanks. I'm not big on Gordon either, but he was one of the best available at that point, and I figure he can only go up from last season. Gordon, Jeremy Hill, and Demaryius Thomas were guys I landed mainly because everyone else was letting them slide.

I've never drafted in a 14-team league before, but your team looks strong, especially drafting at 12. QB would be my biggest concern. RG3 could have some nice upside.

Ben Rapelisberger vs Redskins

                or

Tyrod Taylor vs Ravens

[Icterus galbula]

12 team league, no ppr, snake with 6th pick:

 

QB Andrew Luck

RB David Johnson

RB/WR Doug Martin

WR Mike Evans

WR Golden Tate

TE Coby Fleener

DST Rams

K McManus

 

Bench RB: Rashad Jennings, Bilal Powell, Charles Sims, Chris Johnson

Bench WR: Allen Hurns, Michael Crabtree, Markus Wheaton

Bench TE: Martellus Bennett

 

 

There were a few times a backup QB I was looking at was taken just ahead of me. Luck coming off injury I'm on an island. Loved getting two great starting RBs at the top, depth drops off badly after Jennings. All handcuffs. Don't love my top end WRs, but I like the depth I created there.

[Icterus galbula]

Ben Rapelisberger vs Redskins

                or

Tyrod Taylor vs Ravens

 

The first one.

[NewMarketSean]

Ben Rapelisberger vs Redskins

                or

Tyrod Taylor vs Ravens

 

Is this even a real consideration?

[Pedro Cerrano]

Emmanuel Sanders home Carolina or DeSean Jackson home Steelers

 

I also have Phillip Dorsett but I'm not really considering him....

[Pedro Cerrano]

Matthew Stafford at Indy or Andy Dalton at NYJ

[Pedro Cerrano]

Another league:  Michael Crabtree at NO or Emmanuel Sanders home Panthers

[Mackus]

I'd go Crabtree.  Both are #2 WR, but I trust Oakland's offense much more than Denver's and the matchup is much juicier even with Carolina losing Norman.

Jackson.

[NewMarketSean]

Agree.

[Mackus]

Matthew Stafford at Indy or Andy Dalton at NYJ

 

Ooh, tough one.  I'd actually go Stafford here.  Revis can probably take away Green or at least limit him to normal human status.  Eifert's out and the Cincy alternate receivers are meh (LaFell) or unproven (Boyd).  They do toss it to Bernard fairly regularly.

 

Tough to trust Stafford in Week 1 without Calvin, but Indy is just so bad at defending the pass.  And that should be a high-scoring game. 

[Bmore Irish]

Yeah, I'd go matchup in close situations like that. Indy-Detroit and NO-Oakland should be nice go-to matchups.

[Chris B]

Hyde vs. LA or Christine Michael vs. MIA?

 

Was obviously going to roll with Hyde albeit a tough matchup, but with Michael starting for SEA against a weak defense, I'm leaning towards riding the hype train and starting the awakening.
