I have the absolute worst WR's in the league but have a ton of RB's that were either drafted or Waiver Wire pickups.

I have a tough matchup this week and was looking for advice on who to start? I can start (2) RB's and (1) Flex (will be a RB)

I have:

Gurley
Gore
Michael
McKinnon but also just picked up Asiata
Artis-Payne

I have (2) that wont play this week either so I just need to know what you guys think about the above.

Thanks

I am not a huge fan of any of those really. But I guess Gurley, Gore and Michael. Your WRs can't be that bad, I mean those are not great options

Thanks, I have starting who you suggested. My WR's are pretty bad, I got:

Michael Thomas
Victor Cruz
Tavon Austin
Jamison Crowder - recently picked up off Waivers

How.....how exactly does a roster end up like that? 18 team league? Or did you overdraft on Cam


You downvoted but I'm legitimately curious. And yea, Gurley, Gore, Michael

12 Team league, Standard Format. 8th pick and everyone going for WR's in first 3 rounds. I went Cam Newton, Gurley, Gore in first 3 picks.

Basically best available at that point.

Gore was your third rounder in a 12 team draft?

what?

on topic: gurley, michael, gore is really your only option. I'm geniunely impressed with how bad that team is, though. I've seen 16+ team leagues with better rosters than that

I can't say anything nice so I'm not gonna say anything at all. You might actually have a steal in Michael

My fault, my 3rd pick was Greg Olsen for the combo with Cam and 4th pick was Gore.

My (2) other RB's that are out this week are Jamaal Charles and Arian Foster. So 8 RB's and (3) crappy receivers and I have Olsen as a TE.

I do have a few trades out there to try and get some receivers, ever if not studs. My record is 1-1 at this point, I think I still got a shot.

Gurley- most talented guy. Play
Artis Payne- best matchup + touches
Michael- best player in the offense currently

Only problem with Artis payne is I have Cam and Olsen. I'm kind of spreading points thin with 3 players all for same offense against a pretty good Vikings Defense. I picked up Artis Payne just to hoard him from others as I was able to put Foster in my *IR slot.

You like Artis Payne vs Minnesota over Gore vs San Diego?

Not to mention we really don't know what the carry split will look like between him, Whitaker, and Tolbert. Cam is the goal line back, I'd have a hard time starting CAP. Gore is old man river but he's still the bellcow

I would start:

1. Gurley- Have to start him.

2. Gore- Chargers give up 4.7 yards per carry, also give up 11 receptions a game to RB's. (Is this PPR?)

3. Michael- played 73% of the snaps last week, Rawls banged up. I would have him in.

Its Standard League Format.

And I agree....... Gurley is bound to bust loose sooner or later, but, how long can you wait?

I agree about Gore too, very consistent week after week.

Michael looks like he will have a make or break week since it looks like Rawls is out this week altogether.
