I got Sammy Watkins fairly late. If he stays healthy, I don't think there's any doubt he doesn't get close to 1,000 yards.

Should have a big first week with Ramsey following Hill and the LB and Safety keying on Kelce.

Watkins should be one on one with a corner all day.

Draft was last saturday (timing is important). My team included: Andrew Luck, Lamar Miller, and Antonio Brown.

Antonio Brown a great pick up now.
I'm guessing Newton won his first game playing Watkins.

Should I drop Melvin Gordon for a boring RB like Jordan Howard?

pdub - As long as you have enough other starting RB I would say hold on to MG and don't pick up JH.
Looks like Sproles and Sanders are getting as many looks/carries/passes as Howard.
I have Watkins on the majority of my teams. Didn't start him on a single one of them. Go figure!
One thing I am happy about is I have Lamar Jackson on many of my teams. Started him on a few.

Have a good chance. Mayfield struggled though. Need Lindsay to have a good night to wrap it up

I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.

[twocoach]

Won my Week 1 easily. Benching Hill for Michael Gallup and dropping Brieda for a waivers WR. Put in a waiver claim on Marquise Brown, DeSean Jackson and Ross from CIN. Hopefully I score one of them.

.5 PPR

Bell or McCoy?

Think Bell gets shut down by Pats and McCoy will get majority of carries against a good Baltimore defense.

Any ideas?

[JayhawkInIowa726]

Definitely the safe play is Bell for the receptions. When Luke Falk got in the game he looked to Bell a lot when facing pressure, and I think that'll be his safety all game. He may not dominate in yardage, but his yardage plus 8-10 receptions should be a safe floor.

McCoy definitely has the upside in the Chiefs O, but there are a lot of mouths to feed even with Hill out. Totally up to the rest of your team. If you need a lottery ticket in this spot, go with McCoy. If you have good production everywhere else and don't want to risk it, go Bell.

One of my gazillion teams needed the Bears defense to get 23 points last night.
They got 21. Can't fault them for their effort. My guess is the Bears defense was the difference maker between a lot of Ws and Ls for the week.

[pdub]

Keep two of Desean Jackson, DK Metcalf, Sterling Shepard.
Non PPR.

[NewtonHawk11]

Tough call there.

I think Shepard becomes a security blanket for Jones with Saquan out.

Metcalf has had some good connections with Wilson, but Lockett is still the top guy there.

Desean is too much home run, not enough volume.

I'd say Metcalf and Shepard.

[pdub]

Rolled with it.
Shepard locked and loaded.

Looks like my Melvin Gordon pick up late might not have been worth it.
Oops.

[twocoach]

My team is mediocre right now without Tyreek Hill and Bell having a 3rd string QB makes it worse. Scoring OK but lost 2 straight weeks to guys that have put up insane numbers. Maybe just bad luck, maybe a sign of simply a mediocre roster. We'll see.

[pdub]

In my work league, a 14 teamer, I have Bell, and he's been meh, and now that he's on bye, my choices for my no. 2 RB this week are Latavius Murray, Ronald Jones, Malcolm Brown and Ty Johnson.

Gross.

[TDub]

Mecole hardman or john ross?

[NewtonHawk11]

As long as Hill is out, I’d say Hardman.

[pdub]

Gotta pick one.

Melvin Gordon v Denver
Sony Michel @ Washington
LeSean McCoy v Indy

All 3 defenses aren't great against the run so far.
