Luck has thrown like 4 balls over 20+ yards, Bron bron may grab 8, 9 balls as TD+ road dogs

10 team PPR
I can’t decide between Howard @ AZ or Sanders @ BAL for my flex. I have Hunt and Connor starting in my RB slots and Beckham and Thielen in my WR slots. Other options would be Marvin Jones or Lamar Miller.

TIA

Baltimore is a stout defense and Arizona is not a very good team.

Denver will have to throw the ball and Chicago should be up and running the ball at the end.

I’d probably start Howard.

PPR
Sony Michel vs Detroit
Or
Marshawn Lynch vs Miami

Side note: Lynch was limited this week with a shoulder injury

Abundance of options at RB this week, can start 3 (0.5 PPR):
CMC v CIN
Conner @TB
Coleman v NO
Murray v BUF
Miller @ NYG

Likely sitting Miller so struggling between Coleman and Murray...

Coleman over Murray, he looked good, 16 for 107 and 4 balls for 18 last week

Lynch

quote:

The Raiders have the dreaded cross-country, early eastern time zone kickoff Sunday in Miami. Las Vegas has taken note, too, as the Raiders have a low 20.5-point implied team total. However, Lynch should be a reliable RB2 this week based on volume alone. He saw his snaps increase from 37 to 63 percent from Week 1 to 2 and his touches increase from 13 to 20. That's extremely promising. Miami is also just 22nd in PPR points allowed to RBs this season..

Let’s look at data for Sanders and Howard:

Howard

quote:

Maybe Howard can find the end zone this week as the Cardinals have struggled against the run mightily in 2018. Arizona has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing backs this season, including five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) to the position..


quote:

They're giving up a league-high 41.5 FPG to RBs this season, thanks in large part to the opponents running it a league-high 65 times against them. The Bears enter as 5.5-point favorites, which should present a positive rushing game script.


Sanders:

quote:

But there’s a real deficiency in the slot, where Tavon Young and the team’s lackluster safeties continue to struggle. Last week, Green’s most egregious touchdown came by out-positioning Young for a soft, short toss and outmuscling him into open space. To be fair, Green did beat the other two for touchdowns as well. But that’s just who Green is, and it doesn’t absolve Young for being beaten consistently by Tyler Boyd over the rest of the evening.


quote:

And as the Broncos’ primary slot receiver, Sanders gets to take on Raven DB Tavon Young, who, according to PFF, is the only slot defender to surrender 2 TD so far this year (thanks, AJ Green!). Green also got Marlon Humphrey for another TD in the slot, so even while Young doesn’t play there exclusively, it’s an exploitable matchup for Sanders. The overwhelming competence of Keenum (oxymoron?) has made Sanders looks like a damn league-winning WR thus far, so keep rolling with him.


Data points up for both players, I’m rolling Howard here tho

#Chiefs passing game still has meat on bone:

* Mahomes missed Watkins on long TD bomb in Week 2
* Missed Kelce for would-be 27-yard TD on wheel route
* Kareem Hunt has 1 target in 2 games
* Mahomes has 3 starts, all on road
* KC has yet to play from behind in a game


fire up your Chiefs baws, Mahomes has yet to start at Arrowhead, lawdddd

I saw that as well. Guy said he left off that Mahomes can run as well and ran for 22 TDs at TT.

I’m in a bind at RB2. Picking up Lat Murray to start this week. Have to drop one. Who should it be?
Cohen
A Jones
John Brown
Lindsay
Kerryon

Cohen probably. Isn't Murray just a one week play? I'm assuming you really need the points this week.

Started 0-2 and I play the juggernaut this week, so I’m going to need every point I can get.

I figured it was something like that. I'm 1-1 after losing Mixon and Zuerlein last week and I really don't want to goto 1-2 so I spent $27/100 on Gio for this week and next.
