Fantasy Football Advice

My entire team laid a big ole freaking egg yesterday. Projected to score 100 and I only managed 60. WTF. I have a 10 point lead, but the dude I'm playing still have Big Ben and LeVeon Bell going tonight. I'm pretty much done. Gotta hope for others to lose to stay in the top 4 for the playoff bracket.

Well, the dream of Bradshaw being one of my big steals is over. I shouldn't have expected him to play a full season. He was consistent for me in the time that I had him, I appreciate his efforts.

The only problem is that I now require a week in and week out dominant effort from my WR's. I have Lacy, he's score 15+ each of the last 3 weeks and appears more involved in the passing game. But since Cameron has gone the way of the dodo bird, Kelce is too inconsistent to trust.

Glad I grabbed the Pats D. They appear to be allowed to get away with some serious no calls.

God I love my league... being able to pick up who I want since I am still freaking 7th and have a high waiver claims. Still have chance for playoffs since after the top 2 teams we are bunched. So need lineup advice since I do have some hard choices for this week. Need to win!

2nd RB (#1 RB is Jeremy Hill)
Crowell v Atl
Jonas Gray v Det
Ryan Matthews v StL
Joique Bell v NE
CJ Anderson v Mia
(I also have Branden Oliver)

Of course I made a mistake in my PPR league and have been dropping most of my WRs for RBs since I have been hurting there all season

So I have a flex to fill in for Antonio Brown's bye... Do I play one of the above RBs, or Sanu or Colston

Or... since my league is this bad... I can pick up Cecil Shorts off waivers.

If you can drop somebody, I'd go with Shorts for the Flex. That RB situation is a tough one. I can see the Patriot's pattern of trolling fantasy players by not even giving Gray a single carry (well that and DET's run D is really freaking good).

Yeah, I fully expected not playing Gray with Bill's trolling and Detroit's run defense is real good. Then again I dropped Ben Tate for him.

Shorts is looking like the best option... I can drop Sanu for him now that Green is back getting all the targets. Not like anyone will play after this week anyway barring injury.

I have to fill a FLEX and a RB spot with some terrible options:

Latavius Murray (hoping he gets the start over Jones Drew and McFadden this week)
Boobie Dixon
John Brown
Taylor Gabriel
Terrence West
Mohomed Sanu
Doug Baldwin


I also have Denard in a WR spot that I could move to RB if it made sense to go with another WR combo.


Thoughts?

I would lean towards Terrence West. West and Crowell will split carries, but Atlanta isn't very good. You can see a 60-80 yard 1 TD type day from him easy even with splitting carries. With potential for higher amounts if he is the 'hot hand'

So who should I stick in the FLEX then? I don't think I want two Browns in the starting lineup. Sanu has a good matchup vs Houston, but he's been an afterthought since Green came back.

Justin Hunter is sitting out there on waivers from Tennessee. He's got a good matchup vs Philly.

Wait until tonight and see if Latavius Murray is named starter for Oakland?
