OK, I have my primary fantasy league where I seem to have a decent team, but I seem to start and sit the wrong people often. Tell me who you would start out of the following guys.

1 QB - Rivers vs Rams, Stafford vs Pats, Flacco vs Saints
5 RBs or WRs - LeSean McCoy vs Tennessee, Ryan Mathews vs Rams, Lamar Miller (Q) vs Denver, (usually start LeVeon Bell but he is on a bye), AJ Green vs Houston, Josh Gordon vs Atlanta, Roddy White vs Cleveland, Michael Floyd vs Seattle, Steve Smith vs Saints
1 TE - Larry Donnell vs Cowboys, Julius Thomas (Q) vs Dolphins

QB may be the toughest. I've been starting Rivers most of the year, but since Stafford has Calvin I thought he'd get better, but he's been pretty bad the last couple of weeks. Just picked up Flacco but he has pretty good matchup. Rivers has been subpar lately.

RBs/WRs - Usually I start McCoy and Bell, and would normally put Lamar Miller in flex at this point. With Bell on a bye, and Miller questionable, and Mathews doing better than expected, I now have McCoy and Mathews starting. Denver's run D is awesome too, so that hurts Miller too. They are #1 and I watched them shut down SD's run game.

Green is a must start. Gordon feels like a must start, but it's his first game back so it's risky. Roddy White after a slow start has been on fire lately. I have them three in my lineup now, but Steve Smith could be a good start...he was great early in the year and I started him a lot, but has recently slowed down. The Saints D seems to suck though. Floyd has been awful until last week, where he scored 2 tds, but those were his only catches, so I don't trust him, especially against Seattle.

TEs - I traded Ahmad Bradshaw for Thomas before last week, benched Donnell, and then Thomas got me a zero while Donnell got 11 on my bench. I also benched Donnell the night he had 3 tds. I've started him every other week. With Thomas coming off a zero and being questionable, and playing a good Miami D, I think Donnell is the play.

It almost seems like you need to find a rotation and stick to it. And leave it. All those switches seem to hurt you.

Big Ben vs Patriots
or
Sam Bradford vs Falcons?

Big Ben won't have Bell or Bryant..but maybe he'll throw the ball more with Bell out?
Bradford had a great pre-season and will be playing in an uptempo offence vs. a mediocre Falcons secondary.

I would go Bradford until he can't play (If he gets hurt) - He should be the better fantasy QB through out the year IMO

Russell Wilson @ STL or Ryan Tannehill @ WAS

4-points for passing TD
6-points for other TDs
1 point for 25 passing yards
1 point for 10 running/receiving yards

Easily Tannehill, IMO.

Redskins have the 31st ranked D from last year, Dolphins will win big on the road. I look to see Tannehill to have a huge game.

Wilson is going up against the best front 3 or 4 in all of football. And it's a divisional game on the road. Wilson's stats will not be pretty this week.

Thanks MadNESS. One more question

Ours is half ppr league and I currently have Terrance Williams (DAL - WR) & Devin Funchess (CAR - WR) on bench. I won't need them till may be week 4-5. Following went undrafted in our league :
Marques Colston
Victor Cruz
James Jones (GB - WR)

Do you recommend I make a move ?

I am not high on Funchess or Williams.

Keep an eye on Cruz's injury updates, although either way, the Giants spread the ball around too much for my liking.

Colston could be huge, but he could be a bust of a pick up. All depends on the "new" Saints make up.

James Jones is someone I would add. He knows the offense, is familiar with Rodgers, and doesn't have much competition. He could easily move up to their # 2 receive depending on things shake out.

Since you do not need anyone until week 4/5 I would sit tight for two weeks and see. Monitor everything daily.

Hope that helps.

Latavius Murray vs. Cincinnatti

This is a toss up - both defensive are very good and very good against the run. If I had to choose with a gun to my head, I would take Ingram for this week.

I'm not high on Murray this week. With Geno Atkins returning for the Bengals, they're going to be really stout against the run. Plus the Raiders o-line is in disarray. Play Hyde, even though I don't expect a whole lot out of him this week as well.

Ok, Im debating who to start in my flex spot. My choices are Evans(nervous cause of the injury problems) Watkins, Melvin Gordon, Charles Johnson, Crowell, John Brown, or Allen Robinson. Thoughts? Im leaning Charles Johnson right now but still debating between all of them. Its a dynasty league with 30 man rosters which is why I have so many choices. .5 ppr
