Hey guys I'm in a 12 team, 0.5 PPR league. This is my entire lineup:

QB: Dak Prescott
RB: Kareem Hunt
WR: Mike Evans
TE: Delanie Walker
FLEX: DeMarco Murray
FLEX: Pierre Garcon
D/ST: Titans
K: Jake Elliot

Bench: Amari Cooper
Bench: Emmanuel Sanders
Bench: Matthew Stafford
Bench: Austin Hooper
Bench: Jermaine Kearse
Bench: Orleans Darkwa
Bench: Wendell Smallwood

I have no idea how to set it up for this week, but I was going with possibly something like this.

QB: Dak Prescott
RB: Kareem Hunt
WR: Mike Evans
TE: Delanie Walker
FLEX: DeMarco Murray
FLEX: Amari Cooper
D/ST: Titans
K: Jake Elliot

My thinking on this is that obviously Hunt and Evans are locks. Stafford is on bye so of course Dak. Delanie hasn't done anything in weeks, but I still like him over Hooper. For FLEX even though Amari Cooper has done nothing, I think he starts to turn it around starting with a good matchup against KC this week. And even though Murray is in a committee with Henry that won't go away, he's still the starter and has a GREAT matchup against the Browns. I also would like to have Smallwood in the lineup too if he plays. I'm very very high on him since Sproles is out and Blount isn't great.

Any of you guys agree or disagree with this lineup possibility? Leave it or stay the same? Any suggestions would be wonderful.

I think the only questionable play here is Cooper. Garcon has a much higher floor, especially in 0.5 PPR. That being said, the Chiefs, who give up one of the lowest pass completion % in the NFL (I think 53%) are also surrendering over 14 yards per completion. So, that signals the chance for a lot of big plays tonight, and Cooper is the big play guy. I expect the Raiders to be down tonight and take some chances down the field to Cooper, so if you like that big play ability, Cooper has that. It's just a high risk/high reward situation.

I wouldn't worry about starting Smallwood, keep him on your bench unless DeMarco ends up sitting bc of his injury.

Also, you shouldn't put your Thursday players in the flex, move them to the locked in position, that way you have more flexibility on Sunday in case of a late injury or something like that.

Browns aren't a great matchup. They've been good against the run, bad against deep passing. That said, I don't think you have a better option for him.

As far as Cooper, I wouldn't start him until he shows something. Anything. He's done nothing to merit starting. I'd try out Darkwa instead. He has a good matchup and performed well in a bad matchup last week

I would keep it just how you initially listed it.

Oakland is a dumpster fire. No way you can put Cooper out there until he proves something. If he blows up on your bench...ok? But he's gone six weeks of doing absolutely nothing. Keep Garcon in.

Would only play Hooper if Sanu and Jones are out.

I appreciate the advice guys. It's helped a lot. I guess I'll go with Garcon this week over Cooper. Garcon is always good for about 10 PPG in a PPR league even if he doesn't get TDs. And you're right, I probably should not start Cooper until he actually does something. I still have high hopes for him the ROS though.
