    thought we could all post any questions in regards to start them or sit them in this thread and make it a weekly thing...

    For my flex position in a .5 PPR
    Michael Thomas WR Saints
    Or
    Kelvin Benjamin WR Panthers

    This snap count thing for Benjamin scares me and i know he is going up vs Denver D but the guy is definitely a redzone threat at 6 foot plus and he's cams number one. Can the snap count be a smoke screen?

    On the other hand. Michael Thomas is a rookie so who knows what to expect but Vegas has that game as the highest point total of the week at 51. Brees is lights out at home. I'm in a huge predicament and only have 5 hours to decide. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    You really don't have anybody else? I wouldn't want to use either one.

    Rashard Jennings
    Gio Bernard
    Chacandrick West
    Shane Vereen
    Bilal Powell
    .5 ppr

    RB's this year will be tough for me. Tho Jennings last 4 weeks of last season was a Top 4 back I don't know what to do for the first game

    IMO giants O line will look bad, even against DAL. So Eli won't have time to pass, hence will have to run.
    Hence Jennings.

    West.
    SD defense improved this off season so KC will probably pass a little less than normally. I expect this to be a very tight hard game. Lots of pass rushes and thus ball dumps. Passes to RBs are a huge part of their offense already and will be even more so against SD.
    West is no Charles, but I think he'll get lots of touches.

    Absolutely! Was just nervous of this "snapcount" rumor that was going around.

    West isn't going to get many touches. Spencer Ware is the main RB with Charles out. And KC is going to steamroll SD.

    Last December when SD was devastated by injuries, KC beat them 10-3. What makes you think KC will steamroll them when they are healthy?

    I had both Anderson & Benjamin on the bench. I hate 8 team leagues. Teams are too stacked, making it difficult to decide who to start each week.

    Flex in a 12 team league. .25/carry & .75/reception. Tajae Sharp vs MIN or Charcandrick West vs SD? Also, have Mike Wallace vs BUF & Ebron @ IND.

    I could spin that and say that SD only scored 6 points total against KC in two games last year. I think SD being healthy works against them, they'll go heavy with Melvin Gordon who just isn't good.
