    Tough choice.

    I don't think I'd go with Mason even if healthy... still don't know how many touches he'll get and the skins are better than people think against the run.

    Bengals have a tough secondary but that may be more reason to go with Stevie. I worry more about Rivers' history against CIN that may limit everyone. Right now I think this would be my choice though... with no Gates, I think Johnson and Green will be heavy targets.

    I think Revis will be on Johnson which means lots of targets for Moncrief again. I'm just not sure what he can do with those targets against a tough Jets defense. This may be the best match up situation, but I still trust Stevie Johnson more than Moncrief as players.

    Jackson has the best match up against the Saints pass D but after week 1, I don't know if we can depend on the TB offense yet. If Evans doesn't play again, I'd probably go ahead and roll the dice with VJax. But if he does, I think it'd be better to wait a week to see if this offense has started figuring things out.

    So I'm not sold on any of these guys but think they all have upside. My order would be Johnson, Moncrief, Mason, Jackson (unless Evans is out and then VJax moves up to #2) but hopefully the breakdown does more to help you make a decision bc I'm not confident about that order.

      Who should I drop from my team this week? I dropped my kicker who was bad anyways to pick up Moncrief since I had DeSean Jackson get hurt so I need to pick one up.

      Bench:
      --Jackson
      --Agholor
      --B. Coleman
      --TJ Yeldon
      --Tevin Coleman
      --Dwayne Allen
      --Mariota

        This isn't a question I thought I'd ask going into the year, but here I am:

        Sproles or Melvin Gordon? It's a PPR league. Sproles vs. Dallas and Gordon @ Cinci.
        NFL: Bills
        NBA: Bucks
        MLB: Cubs
        NCAA: Syracuse
        Soccer: USMNT/DC United

            That's a big help man. I appreciate the insight. Right now I had Mason penciled in due to projections, but I'm going to start either Johnson or Moncrief. I am sitting Seferian Jenkins and VJAX this week to see how that offense unfolds. I just hope Mason gives me something before Gurley comes back.

              Melvin Gordon vs. TJ Yeldon vs. Dion Lewis. Trying to decide which 2.

                Eli Manning or Marcus Mariota?

                Grabbed Mariota out of FA just in case.

                  Allen. When in doubt, always drop the K/D/TE in that order (positions where people only start one, which means there are usually options for your bye week in FA. I'd include QB, but unless it's a 10 team league or smaller, the drop off is too big to drop a potentially quality QB).

                    Sit Lewis. Toughest match up and the most unpredictable touches.

                    Eli. Johnny Football may be a train wreck but don't sleep on Cleveland's secondary. Good pick up though... should just watch to see if he can do it again for right now, though.

                      With Mike Evans back I need help deciding on Markus Wheaton vs. Roddy White

                      Also: Dion Lewis vs. Shane Vereem vs. Geovanni Bernard

                        I'd probably go with Roddy White. He looked good last week, and it's a good matchup against the Giants.

                        With the backs, I'd probably roll with Bernard. Lewis will still play the Vereen roll in that offense, but Blount is back now and they're playing that tough Bills defense.

                          Shady or Kendall Wright?


                          And now the dreadful one:
                          Dion Lewis, Benny Cunningham or McFadden? (yikes)
                          Khalabeeb - Tony Henderson

                            Kendall Wright. With Walker Out I fully expect to get some more targets. And Shady is a little banged up.

                            And on the dreadful. I would go with McFadden because he has the most potential out of the three. But TBH I hate all 3.

                              Thanks, I agree they are all dreadful but it's a 16 team league so things like that tend to happen.
