 appreciate the input man 
 
I could sit Randle, start Yeldon at RB 2 and Flex Evans but with Dunbar out I think Randle will bounce back. My intuition also tells me Evans may have a good game.

I also have Woodhead to throw in the mix but then that just makes me even more confused
I would do that. Sit Randle, slot Yeldon at RB2 and Flex Mikey Evans. Feeling stronger and stronger that Evans will have a game like the one vs. Houston on 9/27. Potentially grab his first TD of the '15 season. Evans may not get double-digit TD again this year, but 12 from last season were not a fluke either.

Jeremy Hill or Abdullah this Sunday? (.5 PPR)
Abdullah. I'm sitting Hill this week, I don't like the Seattle match-up. Abdullah was running hard versus the very same Seahawks, although the numbers clearly don't show it. Zenner is a slight concern but you can't deny Ameer's insane cutback ability. That type of game-changing skill-set needs to be on the field as much as possible.

Please advise:

Pick 1 (standard scoring):
Doug Martin
Rashad Jennings
Hyde
Chris Johnson
Ryan Mathews

Different league:
Pick 1 (standard scoring):
Joseph Randle
Blount
CJ2K. I wanna start Hyde but he's done virtually nothing since the successful season opener. NYG are actually best against the run in YPG allowed, while worst in pass YPG allowed. Kaep and the 49ers have already discussed getting Q and Torrey more involved. CJ2K has been a pleasant surprise even if Arians goes RBBC.

Blount. I find myself sitting Randle in most weeks this league. Nearly coughed the ball up on the goal line last week. Is this the week Michael gets more than 1 carry?

Should I start any of harvin, Baldwin or ameer over Jeremy hill this week?
Ameer. Hill sits this week, you're basically hoping for a goal line TD from him.

Should I pick up Herron and drop Dixon?
I would keep Boobie. Herron is more a change-of-pace, third down-type back. Dixon should be the lead back in terms of receiving early-down carries.

who to start

Peyton @ Oakland
Rivers vs Pittsburgh
Rivers has had two 350-yard (or more) passing games this season, Detroit and Cleveland. Not sure how much I trust his makeshift OL to keep him upright. I'm recommending Peyton. He's still got DT and Sanders, Oakland is second worst in pass YPG allowed, only better than the Giants.

Would anyone trade Randall Cobb for Dez Bryant and Doug Martin? Standard scoring, 8 man league.
Think I saw you say you're undefeated. You can afford to risk and wait for Dezzy's return. The bye week is timely for Dallas, possible Dez plays October 25th vs. NYG. Otherwise November 1st against the Seahawks. Fairly confident with or without Romo, Bryant will produce. He's an elite receiver and that's what elite WRs do. Look at Nuk's QB situation, and Hopkins isn't even quite in Dez's tier just yet. Depending on when you start playoffs, you would still ideally get Dez for 7-8 good weeks of production. That's worth it for upside over Cobb, plus Martin gives you RB3/Flex depth. Had his best game of the season last week. Let's say worst case scenario you lose the next two after trading for Bryant, 4-2 with Dez returning ain't bad at all for the playoff picture.

Do I need to target another RB? Who? Dealing w/ a slightly busted up WR corps currently. 
Gurley serves as your RB1, Hyde is beyond solid as a RB2, and Spiller has upside as a RB3 pass-catcher. If anything, you might need to shore up WR2. Hank is playing out of his mind but due for regression. Davante Adams has been a bust and I'm putting it kindly. Moncrief has balled out but only saw 3 targets last night vs. Houston. I mean, Dorsett saw 2 targets in comparison. Not a good sign. Sammy's had one serviceable game the entire season.

thoughts on a j randle for m bennett trade straight up?
I would keep Randle unless you're in dire need of a starting TE. Don't get too comfortable with Lewis, Bill is flaky with RBs. Woodhead is a serviceable PPR RB2, but Randle has more rushing upside behind Dallas' dominant OL.

The fantasy Oracle?
I always tell/warn NTers that I'm far better at the big picture, season-long perspective than week-to-week micro lineup selections. I'm pretty spot on with breakout candidates and judging the stock of the top-125 to top-150 fantasy players.

Starting Bradford vs the trash Saints D over Dalton vs Seahawks this weekend....wish me luck.
Sammy's a borderline top-10 QB in Week 5. Wouldn't be surprised to see him post 21+ points in 4-point passing TD leagues. 300 yards and 2-3 TD is not out of the question against New Orleans, especially if Agholor can continue to contribute.

Pick 1

Reub Randle, John Brown, or Aiken?
I like John Brown the most of the three options.

Randle is so damn inconsistent and therefore untrustworthy in fantasy. Aiken is a product of beneficial situation. B-More can't replace the production of Torrey and Pitta. Perriman is hurt and still hasn't played a game. I know John Brown is talented, it's a matter of how much shine Fitz takes away from Brown against Detroit.

Also tried to trade for Gronk, but my friend said he isn't for trade.
Who's your starting TE?

i was running ebron for a couple of weeks but i picked up rodgers
I'm starting to consider that Bennett for Randle trade more. You're streaming TE weekly which is somewhat of a wildcard. Rodgers is TD dependent and Ebron doesn't have the best hands for a pass-catching TE. Bennett saw a season-high 13 targets last week and has caught 5+ TD consecutively the last three seasons (two of those being in Chicago with Cutler).

So the guy countered my offer of Cobb for Dez with Cobb, and Gronk for Dez, AJ Green, and Doug Martin.  I lucked out and have Gates as my backup TE.  Would anyone do this in a standard scoring league?
 
Damn is cutler worth a start if Alshon and royal aren't playing?

On the wire, there's Alex smith, flacco, and Vick.
 
Eifert or Duke Johnson at FLEX? I have Gates coming back so he's in the TE slot. Non-PPR.

appreciate it man. i ended up sending him an offer of randle + stevie for bennett + t.coleman just to extend the olive branch, hope he takes it though.
 
Pick 3. PPR.

Ingram @ Phi
Freeman vs. Wsh
Lynch @ Cin
Forsett vs. Cle

Obviously if Lynch is out, it's an easy decision. I want to go Forsett over Lynch either way, but I don't know if I really trust him.
 
I'd start Flacco at home vs Cleveland instead of Cutler on the road @ KC.

Even though flacco doesn't have any weapons? I don't want him to have a 7 point game like last Thursday.

i like alex smith


I also like Alex Smith over Cutler as well.

With Alshon and Royal likely out, along with playing on the road in a hostile environment like KC, I really don't like Cutler at all this week :lol:
 
So with news of McCoy possibly being out til Week 9 would you guys trade him and Sanders for Latavius Murray and James Jones? 0.5 PPR
 
Would anyone do Gronk, Sanders, and Randall Cobb for Demarius Thomas, Antonio Brown, Frank Gore, and Martellus Bennett?

I also have Antonio Gates at TE and Julio Jones is my other Receiver.

Standard Scoring.
