Do you get negative points for turnovers? If so, Rivers might be slightly less appealing, but it is definitely between Kap and Rivers if it were my team.

I like Rivers in that match up. Stafford with a hand injury, in the cold, on the road...too many things against him.

Assuming AJ Green doesn't come back what wrs should I play (have to pick two)?

Ty Montgomery
Alshon Jeffrey
Taylor Gabriel
Pierre Garcon
Sammy Watkins
Amari Cooper

First two guys, it might depend how much you are scared off by the 0 degree forecast.

If Julio is out, Gabriel becomes pretty enticing against a crappy defense.

All signs point toward Watkins having a good day, but he just hasn't done enough yet for me, personally to feel comfortable in my first round of the playoffs to play yet.

Cooper, beware. The first time they played SD Hayward wasn't the best CB in football, now he apparently shadows #1. I think Crabtree is the guy that has the big day with Seth Roberts sneaking in a touchdown as well.

Pick two WR half ppr with 3 point bonus for going over 100 yards
Mathews against Ravens
Crowder against Carolina
Tyrell Williams against Oakland
Steve Smith against Panthers
Sammy Watkins against Cleveland

I think I have narrowed my list somewhat, but would be interested in getting someone elses opinion. All of those are good match ups in theory and all pretty much have a con too. I'm looking for maybe the safest way to get to 25-30 points between the two.

Stafford/Kaep/Bradford/Siemian/Wentz/Flacco are in some capacity either on my roster or available. I'm kinda debating between

Siemian, Kaep, or MAYBE Bradford. Any thoughts/disagreements? So much risk with basically all of them.

For whatever it is worth, I listen to a lot of Serius XM fantasy radio. Guys seem really split on Kap, but mainly because of that benching last week or the week before. They love the matchup and expect them to be down with Kap getting tons of garbage time opportunity. So I think he is the upside play, but that downside is massive if he comes out struggling and they pull him.

soooooo, how much do you enjoy gambling?

Yeah, I'm a huge gambler, but one of these leagues is one that I've dominated for years but can never win the title so I'm very squeamish about it.

That was my exact opinion...that Kaep is a gamble due to the possibility of getting yanked and the fact that the 49ers seem to be tanking.

So they all suck?

I can't play Alshon....out four games, a QB who has never thrown to him, terrible weather for a deep threat guy. I am considering Ty because you would think there would be a lot of running in a cold weather game where Aaron is hurt.

Hard to bench Cooper, I haven't benched him all year.

I need 2 WR's and a FLEX (RB,TE,WR). Standard scoring:

T.Y. Hilton @ MIN
Larry Fitzgerald vs. NO
Jay Ajayi @ NYJ
Sammy Watkins vs. CLE
Alshon Jeffery vs. GB
Ladarius Green @ CIN

Thanks Tommy Rawls...you were at least suppose to get garbage yards with the lead. Jon F'n Ryan almost out rushed you...albeit he died on the field, but hopefully Tommy didn't bury my season with him.

I had a tough decision at the FLEX between Ajayi and Rawls. I had to go with Ajayi because he has been the most consistent and the last time he was on my bench he gained 40 points.

Sooooo, Adrian Peterson. Thoughts?

Inquiring minds want to know. Just grabbed AP lasts week. Do I play him over L.Miller or Howard in a ppr?

I'm in the semis of both of my leagues. It looks like Gurley's **** performance against the Seahawks and Melvin Gordon's injury is going to kill me in both of them. Ugh.

Profound23 · Post #652 » by **Profound23** » Sun Dec 18, 2016 2:23 am

Looks like Ajayi is about to get the Gurley treatment. With no QB they are stacking the box.

For my flex, Sammy Watkins or Ty Montgomery? PPR. I'm starting Watkins currently but with the weather so cold, I'm thinking Ty gets a lot of work today. My other RBs played already, currently starting Adams and Cooper at WR.

I think Ty Mont provides both a good floor and high ceiling as opposed to Watkins who could easily put up only 3-4 pts.

Starting Powell and Montgomery is pretty much going to get me into the championship.

Profound23 · Post #658 » by **Profound23** » Sun Dec 18, 2016 10:09 pm

Played Ty and Cooper. Hoping it works out with Cooper, Montgomery was obviously the right choice.

Perfect storm hitting one of my teams where I'm going to lose in the semi's after leading the league in scoring by 200 pts. Ridiculous playoff luck this year.

Unless I get a 20+ outing from Reed tomorrow, I'm out of both leagues. 1st and 2nd in total scoring respectively. First week in a long time where Rodgers/Le'Veon/DeMarco didn't lift me to victory. Should have played Monty over Ajayi.
