He's been a stud, no doubt. But the bears held Gurley to 8.8pts.

Other options at Flex would be Pettis, Reynolds, or Daesean Hamilton.

It's a tough call. I have Jones and Rodgers and I'm seriously considering not starting either because the Bear's D has been so dominant.

I'd lean to start Jones though. Even though Gurley was held down, Barkley and even Legarrete Blount both had good games against them in prior weeks. I don't think they've been quite as dominant against the run.

I am sitting him, but I'm starting chubb, Fournette, and DJ/conner over him.

It's a tough matchup, so it's not out of the question... but I would like to hear your argument for starting Pettis/Reynolds/Hamilton over him, because that's a case I can't make.

If I roll with Jones, that leaves me with Choosing 1 out of the following 3:

J. Reynolds v Philly
D. Pettis v Sea
D. Hamilton v Cle

what y'all think?

Both Barkley and Blount were not @CHi. But Green Bay did put up 400 yards and 24 points against them week 1.

I’ll probably still play jones and hope for the best. Other options are James white and Curtis Samuel in standard.

You’d have to be in a situation like OMT where you’re so loaded you can afford to shy away from the match up. Other than that, you just hope for the best given his workload. Guy is a constant threat to take one at any moment, so I’m rolling with him

I'm in the same boat

Would you start Carson over Jones in a ppr league with Carson playing SF

I'm currently on a six game roll, but I have Davante Adams and Aaron Jones. I'm starting both of them because the alternatives are worse, but I'm seriously afraid that this matchup in Chicago may cost me the league championship.

I wouldn't play Reynolds vs Philly. Yea their secondary sucks with all the injuries, but they'll probably close as like a 13 point favorite at home vs a Wentz less Eagles team. Passing volume is likely to be limited IMO, tough to justify the third option

Hamilton has a sneaky good matchup/situation, 9 targets last week in the Manny Sanders role that Keenum seems to lean on. This week you get a mediocre Browns defense that has a very good outside corner in Denzel Ward who will likely see Sutton a lot and funnel targets inside. I think he'll see solid volume again.

Pettis is a talented player who is playing a lot more snaps, 3 straight weeks with 7 targets. He operated as the #1 WR even with Goodwin back last week. Seahawks have a solid defense but their success rate/YPA vs WRs actually isn't that good, so not a very scary matchup.

I'd probably go Pettis but could see going with Hamilton if you think you're a favorite and need floor more than ceiling. GL whatever you decide

I think I'm rolling with Jones & Pettis.

Also going to plug Firkser over Burton. Burton has just done absolutely nothing in the second half of the season to convince me that playing Firkser has serious downside.
