Keep an eye on the Ja'marr Chase situation. If for whatever reason he doesn't play Week 1, Tee Higgins becomes a smash play (would probably start even if Chase is available). In very deep leagues, can also look to Burton and Iosivas if Chase is out. Moss and Brown might also be worth a look as Cincy shouldn't need to do too much to beat New England, so maybe they keep it on the ground more than expected.

for the owners that took Jerome Ford in the 9th or 10th round...

is he your flex play this week? (ahead of your RB3 or WR3)

3-down back with minimal competition for touches in Cleveland right now

Yahoo has Cincinnati as its #1 D/ST for week 1 at home vs. New England

12 team PPR

Jayden Daniels @ TB or Goff v LAR - Higher ceiling probably goes to Daniels but the higher floor to Goff
Amari Cooper v DAL or Terry McLaurin @ TB - FLEX spot but not quite sure which way to go on this one

Will Xavier Worthy be a sleeper at KC? Wish I knew if Chase was going to get his contract signed this week.

Yeah Xavier has impressed so far and he's going to get looks with Hollywood out for the first few weeks.

Not sure I'd start him over Chase but I'd look to see if I can't get him in somewhere.

I'm not yet sold on the Commanders offense this year. That being said, I think if you drafted Jayden Daniels due to his running ability, you go ahead and start him until he proves non-startable. In 6pt per passing TD leagues, it's a much closer decision between Daniels and Goff.

As for the receivers, I probably lean Amari Cooper at this point, though it's close vs. Scary Terry.

Have a decision at flex (0.5 PPR):
  • Tee Higgins (CIN vs. NE)
  • Amari Cooper (CLE @ DAL)
  • Jerome Ford (ditto)
  • David Montgomery (DET vs. LAR)

Thanks for the heads up about Ja'Marr Chase -- I didn't think he'd actually hold out week 1, but if so, that would make this decision obvious. Assuming he does play, the projected points of these four are all very similar and I could probably be convinced either way.

I think they are all good options. If Chase is out, start Higgins. If Chase plays, slight lean towards Ford. As another poster mentioned in the thread, Ford is RB1 in CLE with little backfield competition. Montgomery is also an option given the high Vegas total for Rams at Lions but still probably go with Higgins/Ford over him. It's very close between all four options.

No, definitely wouldn't start him instead of Chase, only if Chase hasnt signed and not playing

Christian Kirk @ MIA
Gus Edwards v. LV
Brian Robinson @TB
Christian Watson @PHI

I've read / heard a few places that a lot of people think Burrow still isn't 100%, so factor that into your Bengals' decisions.

I would go Kirk then Robinson

hard to get a read on the Raiders-Chargers game. O/U only 42

Reminder to move any Ravens and Chiefs you have at flex into RB/WR positions before Thurs kickoff to preserve flex for the wkd

ie I just swapped Flowers to WR to move Chase down into flex, so I can replace with Rhamondre if necessary
W

for Achane owners with Mostert...are you starting both of them?

matchup at home vs. the Jags looks favorable

my RB1 is Achane. RB2 is Mixon.

Mostert would be flex over Cooper, Odunze, and B.Robinson
W

the Gibbs and Montgomery decision seems a bit easier

since most managers probably had to use a 5th round pick on Montgomery

whereas Mostert might have gone as late as the 7th or 8th round
Chipotlemonger

I'd flip that. RB1 is Mixon, RB2 is Achane. Mostert flex sounds fine there. Do not bench Mixon to start both Dolphins guys and another guy at flex, IMO.

Need 2 Flex in Full PPR

George Pickens
Evan Engram
Javonte Williams
Brian Robinson Jr

Right now I'm favoring Pickens and Engram (for the TD upside in a game vs Miami).
Chipotlemonger

I'd go Javonte and then pick one of the others.

Probably see how Thurs & Fri games shake out.

If you are in the hole I say Pickens + Engram (since PPR).
If you are up I say Pickens + Javonte

If it is close then I'd go Pickens + Engram. Play to win.

Sorry, I should have checked my leagues before giving advice on this. In both my 0.5 PPR and Full PPR I have Tee Higgins on my roster and in my starting lineup. Start Higgins.

Non PPR

JSN v Den
or
Dobbins v LV

I'm thinking picking on Bo Nix and the broncos will be a good defense streaming strat this season.

Seattle was a bad defense last year, but new DC, some player upgrades, at home, vs Bo Nix in first ever start ---still only 32% owned in Yahoo leagues.

PPR Flex Pick 1

Jaylen Waddle vs. JAX
George Pickens @ ATL
Raheem Mostert vs. JAX
Jayden Reed @ PHI

Also have Ekeler and Zack Moss. Could also bench Javonte Williams for Mostert at RB2, but I think I like Williams better.

Good depth is good, but can make for tough flex decisions a lot.
oh no

i think you flip a coin at RB2 with Javonte and Mostert, but ppr flex, start Waddle.
oh no

PPR Flex:

Calvin Ridley @ CHI
Rome Odunze vs TEN
Jamison Williams vs LAR
Najee Harris @ ATL

Assuming Ridley. I don't trust Will Levis' arm, but rookie Caleb has too many other mouths to feed to have any confidence for rookie Odunze in week 1.

Keep an eye on Keenan Allen. He's banged up and has been missing practices this week and may carry a designation.

Rome may be an option.

looking at Rotoworld's WR rankings...

Josh Allen's 3 WR's are ranked:

#50 Samuel
#52 Coleman
#54 Shakir

yet Josh Allen is Roto's #1 ranked QB this week

here's to 100 yards and 2 TD's on the ground

Pick 3. Standard league.

K Walker III
Rachaad White
Josh Jacobs
Joe Mixon
David Montgomery

I'm leaning the top 3, but Mixon vs Jacobs is my biggest question.
oh no
