Week 5 Starters Advice

[Bank Shot]

I'll start her off.

.5 PPG

Dwayne "King of the Garbage Time TD" Bowe vs. Balt
Reggie Wayne vs. GB

[Bleeding Blue]

I like Wayne, especially bc it is .5 PPR. He isnt a huge play threat anymore, but will nickel and dime you with 7-10 yard catches. Indy will likley be down big early and be passing all day, Wayne is Lucks clear favorite.

Pick 2WR's and 1 Flex (Standard scoring)

Wayne vs. GB
Nelson @ IND
Colston vs. SD
Ryan Williams @ STL

[NW7]

I'll start her off.

.5 PPG

Dwayne "King of the Garbage Time TD" Bowe vs. Balt
Reggie Wayne vs. GB

Reggie Wayne is my choice. Both should be really good plays this week, but Wayne has a solid match-up and is a better overall choice in any PPR format.

Pick 2WR's and 1 Flex (Standard scoring)

Wayne vs. GB
Nelson @ IND
Colston vs. SD
Ryan Williams @ STL

Wayne and Nelson are easy calls for the WR's slots. Tough decision for this flex spot though. Colston is always a risky play but I feel more comfortable with him producing something then I do Williams (still not sold on Williams quite yet).

Pick my flex spot (weird scoring: PPR, .25 points per rush, 15 return yards per point):
Alfred Morris vs ATL
Danny Amendola vs Ari

Leaning Amendola here, but curious if there are any who have a strong case for Morris.

I say Morris. The Falcons are in the bottom 10 for points allowed to RBs, meaning Morris has a good matchup! How many points does Amendola get on return yards per game?

[Shady Franchise]

pick 1:

FJax @ SF
Spiller @ SF
Andre Brown vs CLE

I'm leaning towards FJax, but damn SF is #1 against the run!! Do I chance Andre?

[Bleeding Blue]

If last week (5 carries) is indicitive of what this week will be no way can you go Andre.

[BossHoggin]

You gotta go Jackson

[NW7]

One more could use advice on....

PPR scoring, pick 1:

Antonio Brown vs Phi
Danny Amendola vs Ari
Stevie Johnson @ SF

[BossHoggin]

After watching last week's ARI vs MIA game, I'd go Amendola

Who should I start at flex?

Ryan Williams or Green-Ellis?

Ryan Williams or Green-Ellis?

Ryan Williams has the better match-up.


Pick 1 as Flex, Standard Scoring:

Bennett vs CLE
Hartline at CIN

Bennett vs CLE
Hartline at CIN

Tough, but I'd go Hartline. He's getting the ball a lot and CIN vs. MIA will probably look like last week's MIA vs. ARI.

[Maritimer]

Dwayne "King of the Garbage Time TD" Bowe vs. Balt
Reggie Wayne vs. GB

Wayne. Remember the playoff game a couple years ago, where they blanketed Bowe, stuffed the run, and dared someone else to beat them? Yeah. KC is terrible, and Baltimore is a lot less likely to let them grab garbage time points than Buffalo and some of the other teams they've faced.

Pick 2WR's and 1 Flex (Standard scoring)

Wayne vs. GB
Nelson @ IND
Colston vs. SD
Ryan Williams @ STL

Lance Moore and Greg Jennings won't play this weekend, so this is realllly tough. I usually don't do this, but I'd sit the RB. Well, depends on your matchup. If you think you need a home run, bench Wayne and start Williams. If you want safety, play Wayne and bench Williams.

Pick my flex spot (weird scoring: PPR, .25 points per rush, 15 return yards per point):
Alfred Morris vs ATL
Danny Amendola vs Ari

Leaning Amendola here, but curious if there are any who have a strong case for Morris.

Amendola had 15 catches against Seattle and hasn't had more than 6 in any other game. Give him a 6 point bump on Morris. Morris averages 20 carries a game. There's 5 points back. Morris is more likely to score a TD. Who's more likely to win the yardage battle? Morris has Amendola beat on the year, though to be fair Washington hasn't faced a run D that scares you. Return yardage might get Amendola another point or two (averaging 18 yards a game on punt returns). I might actually go Morris, and here's the deciding factor -- Thursday night games have been brutal for fantasy. Teams don't look sharp, and Bradford to Amendola is all about precision.

pick 1:

FJax @ SF
Spiller @ SF
Andre Brown vs CLE

I'm leaning towards FJax, but damn SF is #1 against the run!! Do I chance Andre?

Jackson over Spiller for sure. If you're feeling REALLY ballsy, there's an argument to be made for Brown to rack up yards in garbage time. Of course, Wilson is just as likely to see garbage time. Furthermore, the is precisely the sort of game the Giants **** up, so it could actually be close. Go Jackson.

Here you go Amendola.

Who should I start at flex?

Ryan Williams or Green-Ellis?

Williams. I've read a number of articles about what a bad matchup Green-Ellis has this week. If Williams fails you here, it's probably time to cut bait.

Pick 1 as Flex, Standard Scoring:

Bennett vs CLE
Hartline at CIN

Bennett, but I'm a contrarian. I just think the Hartline love has gone WAAAAY too far, and Bennett will get a ton of targets, especially red zone targets, with Nicks still out.

[vincecarter4pres]

I'll start her off.

.5 PPG

Dwayne "King of the Garbage Time TD" Bowe vs. Balt
Reggie Wayne vs. GB

Can't go wrong here really, I'll go with Wayne.

Pick 2WR's and 1 Flex (Standard scoring)

Wayne vs. GB
Nelson @ IND
Colston vs. SD
Ryan Williams @ STL

Wayne
Nelson
Colston

Sorry, I promise I wouldn't have started Williams haha, if you notice from past threads I'm not automatically going with the RB in a Flex. I know Williams had a good matchup but I'm not a huge believer in him and Colston finally broke out last week and has what should be a high scoring matchup.

Pick my flex spot (weird scoring: PPR, .25 points per rush, 15 return yards per point):
Alfred Morris vs ATL
Danny Amendola vs Ari

Leaning Amendola here, but curious if there are any who have a strong case for Morris.

Hmm... I probably would have went with Morris. Although Amendola is a PPR beast most weeks, Arizona's defense is relatively legit. I predicted St. Louis would win the game but I was imagining something like 19 to 17.

Morris should get 20+ carries and might luck into a couple receptions this week.

pick 1:

FJax @ SF
Spiller @ SF
Andre Brown vs CLE

I'm leaning towards FJax, but damn SF is #1 against the run!! Do I chance Andre?

Hmm... This one is really tough.

I'm going to mess around and go with Andre Brown.

I don't think any of the 3 will get less then 10 touches or more then say 17 and I think Brown will have a better opportunity to do more with those limited touches then either of these guys.

Antonio Brown

I have to start trying to get in here before Thursday lol.

Who should I start at flex?

Ryan Williams or Green-Ellis?

Quite honestly I would have went with Ryan Williams here.

Pick 1 as Flex, Standard Scoring:

Bennett vs CLE
Hartline at CIN

I'm going to go with Hartline. I don't see monster numbers again, but I can see 70 to 110 yards and a TD.

I do like Bennett to have a bounce back game though.

[RaoulDuke79]

Antonio Brown or Malcolm Floyd. Hmm.

[vincecarter4pres]

Antonio Brown or Malcolm Floyd. Hmm.

Gimme Floyd but both are great starts.

[vincecarter4pres]

Have to sit one of the 4 in a standard scoring, who do I sit?

Stevie Johnson
Eric Decker
Martellus Bennett
Dennis Pitta

[NW7]

I would sit one of the TE's this week, I would go with Pitta.
