half ppr and can play 2.

Which 2 do you play? Emmanuel Sanders vs Cardinals, Jordan Howard vs Pats, or Taylor Gabriel vs Pats?

Thanks for the feedback

Sanders for sure.

Maybe Howard? Idk.. he has to have a big game at some point, right..?

I'm hesitant on Cook, when healthy he has looked strong and with a better passing attack that could open things for Cook. But the dude can't stay healthy. I don't think the drop off of losing Theilen will really matter when you add in DJ so it is pretty close in that regards...but if you package Collins and Thielen, to get any of the 3 RB's you mentioned than I think that is a good route to go. I don't think I would let Thielen go for DJ straight up, points wise it is a lateral move and I think Thielen continues to get a lot of targets.
I am all in on Cook, traded Cousins for him. I don't care if they sit him, as long as he comes back 100%.

For me it's between Michel and Lindsay. The safe play would be Michel, he has turned into a must start and even with White, Michel is an RB1. But the Cards D is awful against the run, which would set Lindsay up for a huge game. If you don't like playing a lot of players from the same team than I would roll with Lindsay so you aren't stacking Gronk and Michel.

You could play Lindsay this week and based off of his performance slide Michel in over Cohen if Lindsay has a good game and you need a higher floor.
^^^^What he said.

Sterling Shepard or Gabriel?

Both #2 receivers. Shepard has gotten 7+ targets for the last few games. Gabriel has come out as a long play threat. Not PPR. Leaning towards Gabriel, but Shepard has a favorable matchup against Falcons secondary.
I'd do Gabriel. Patriots d has been horrible.

Half point ppr, gotta start 1: Ito Smith, Dion Lewis, or Lamar Milla
Ugh. I'd go Smith just for the goal line ops.

Gabriel or Chris Godwin? I'm playing Winston and it's a good matchup for them both, but I just don't know!
I'd also go Gabriel because it looks like a better matchup on paper.

Sanders off to a good start tonight
And he's on my bench again lol. I'm getting wrecked by Denver's defense too. All good though, my trade for Collins was accepted. Hoping with Sanders going off and dj not doing anything, I can trade Sanders/Collins for Johnson.

glad I started Sanders...was afraid to start him because Cardinals pass defense is usually pretty good.

Good opportunity to buy low on Johnson right now too.

And the cardinals just fired mccoy, which is a positive for Johnson. Look at his schedule after the bye. It is ridiculous. Hopefully I can pry him away.

LOL, yeah, me too. My teams pretty good though, I still could overcome it.
Just one of those things. Opponent went from being projected to score 90 to 121 as a result. Standard scoring so 100 points is usually enough to secure a W, which was about my predicted score. We'll see how my teams manages to choke.

His projected score went from 120 to 148 lol. Ours is half ppr. My team could put that up, just depends how it goes. My two losses this year, I lost two guys in my lineup to injury both times. Other than that, I've been scoring 140 at will.
