Standard scoring - no PPR C.Brown @DEN R.Stevenson v.CAR C.Tillman @DET D.Thornton v.CHI S.LaPorta v.CLE H.Fannin @DET

I get some specialization and keeping players fresh, but I don't really understand why teams/coaches continue to put inferior players out on the field, particularly for critical situations (2-minute drill, etc.) Reminds me of the story about the second-string RB who complained to the coach that he wasn't getting enough carries. The coach showed him the stats that the first string RB was averaging 4.5 ypc while he was only averaging 3.5 ypc. So the coach said, "I'll tell you what, every time I want 3.5 yards instead of 4.5 yards I'll be sure to call your number."

It's a bit risky because Chase is still the best player in that exchange and I don't think he will completely fall of the map and Henderson is poised to take over a feature-back role. Nevertheless, I'd do it.

Agree, Pickens and Chase (even with Browning and against DEN, I still think he provides more upside than London).

Unless you are in a keeper league I'm not sure there is much to be gained from dropping anyone for Golden.

Hmmm, tough one. I'll give the edge to Dobbins at home.

Agree with Judkins and Pickens.

I'm not sure of that. Last week WAS went with a frustratingly even 3-way RBBC, but that was kind of a blow-out game. I think at some point they try to feature their most talented back more.

Anybody concerned about the holdout? Probably a nothing-burger if resolved in the next week or two, but it could have an impact if it extends deep into camp. Both Lamb and Chase had sluggish starts after holdouts last season.

If Bill is active, I think you go with him. Otherwise, Tuten.

Yeah, if you were fine starting Nabers with Wilson at QB, the move to Dart shouldn't change that.

At this point, I don't know how you bench Odunze.

Agree, I'd rather have Caleb.

I'll make it unanimous (which means you should probably make the trade).

Allen - especially if PPR.

I think you definitely want to get Judkins in. I also think Chase Brown bounces back a bit so I'd lean towards him over Skat in Dart's first start, but it's kind of a coin flip.

I get what you are saying, but in the modern NFL, where it's never been easier to play QB, a first round pick is expected to play. Wilson is clearly a one-trick pony and it is difficult to imagine that he gives the team the best chance to win. The Giants mistake was bringing in Wilson in the first place (and perhaps not addressing the O-line, but I believe their LT is coming back from injury so that may improve).

Their prosects were probably even better against Wilson.

Well, Maye did throw a pick in the endzone and had a fumble of his own.

FU to Tre Tucker for putting up a career game out of nowhere against me.

Agree - you either fix issues (like Tiki Barber) or are a generational talent (like Adrian Peterson). Neither applies to Stevenson.

FU to Stevenson - hold on to the f'n ball.

I really want to start Stevenson in a home game against the Steelers who haven't been able to stop anyone on the ground. Who goes to the bench? C.Brown @Vikings who have looked like crap for 7 out of 8 quarters and just got gashed by the Falcons. C.Sutton @Chargers after his total dud in week 2 - will he rebound against a solid D? T.McLaurin v.Raiders on a short week which seems like a good "get right" opportunity, but Daniels is now gimpy.

I'd bench Sutton and go with W-Rob, Egbuka and Bill. You should know early enough if Egbuka is a full go or inactive and stick in Sutton if necessary. Obviously some risk with Egbuka even if he is active - we will find out if he is one of those players who can ball out when banged up.
