    This is a 1 pt PPR league. I can start two out of these 3:

    Rod Streater (OAK) vs. Washington (Last Ranked Pass Defense) Projected: 17
    Marlon Brown (BAL) vs. Buffalo, Projected: 12
    Deandre Hopkins (HOU) vs Seattle (#1 ranked Pass Defense), Projected: 12

    I actually have a feeling about Houston doing well in this game. I'm just worried that most of the catches are going to go to Owen Daniels.

    I'm pretty sure I'm starting Streater. I've seen Washington's defense, and that rookie that plays CB2 is awful.

    I like Marlon Moore's matchup a lot (I started Stephen Hill last week), but he has a high chance of giving me nothing.

    The guy I'm going against isn't that strong, so I think I'll win if I put up some solid points.

    You must start DeAndre Hopkins. Simply pull up the box score of Seattle games this season, aside from the San Fran game, in which Boldin took a dive and no one else made any noise, WRs had productive games. You are right to assume that perhaps Owen Daniels may get some volume, but you are also discounting a blossoming flower that is Hopkins. Out of that bunch, he's a no brainer. As for the other two choices, is there not anyone better on waivers? Stephen Hill not available?

    Thanks for the reply. I dropped Stephen Hill. Too inconsistent for me. In my league they start 3 WRs, RB/WR, and a RB/WR/TE. Those extra 2 players compared to standard leagues really makes the waiver wire slim pickins.

    The best WRs left are guys like Jason Avant, Davonne Bess, Jerome Simpson, Robert Woods, Jerricho Cotchery, etc.

    I replaced Marlon Brown with Hopkins.

     

    Kusala, why are you trying to hijack my thread? To answer your question, I only started Hill because he was playing Buffalo last week. He's okay, but he could be a bust if he doesn't get the long ball. I also don't trust Geno to get him the ball yet consistently.

    As a spot start, I'd rather start Dobson. I don't think Gronk will play, and if he does it will be limited. Dobson is startable as long as Amendola is still out. He gets enough targets consistently that I'm not worried about a dud with him.

    I say Marlon Brown here bro
    Buff got torched last week by Geno Smith, let me repeat, Geno effin Smith!!!! and Holmes and Hill both had great weeks

    Flacco should have a field day

    as far as streater goes its Matt Flynn thats throwing him the ball and he hasnt been able to complete a long pass since that one he threw to Greg Jennings vs the Lions in 2011

    Must start Hopkins.  I'd pick streater for sure, washington has given up a ton of yards this year.  Flynn or Pryor, Streater is their go-to guy.  GL.

    Well it looks like Brandon Stokely is out for Baltimore, so that's more targets for Brown.

    Right now I've locked in Hopkins and Brown. I feel like Streater has high bust potential since he's only caught 4 balls a game.

    I went with Hopkins and Streater last second.

    Stokley only got 1 catch last week, so he won't make much difference. Brown has only had 4 catches a game, so he busts out without a TD.

    It doesn't matter if Flynn can't throw down the field cuz Streater is more of a slot possession receiver. Although I think the Raiders get crushed today, but what's done is done.

    GLTA!

    Godddddddddddddd I knew Seattle's defense would lock down Hopkins. Hopefully I get something second half, but I'm not used to donuts in the first half

    Also a victim here of Hopkins. Had LeVeon in and at the last second swapped Hopkins, I thought hed put up a line of 6-68-1 but not even close. It was a rough day overall except for one miracle. Thank you Antonio Gates!!
