Now that it looks like Spiller is the main back in Buffalo, how do you guys feel about his keeper potential? Would you carry him over someone like Fitz, Percy, or Gronk? I have him in one league and need to decide on keepers. I have to keep a rookie and that will be Morris, but if Spiller is gonna be the guy, I might want to consider him and then decide on Percy and Gronk.

Do your keepers get assigned to draft picks?

Tough choices between Spiller, Harvin, and Gronk. That's arguably the #1 WR, #1 TE, and a top 5 back for next year. That being the case, I'd take Gronk. Reason being, you can always find a RB, may not be Spiller but you can find or draft someone to get you points. Gronk is pushing 30 points out at TE position, compare that with a guy starting Brandon Meyers or Jared Cook.


I just see 2 elite TE's with a massive advantage over everyone else, I value that highly because there are more then 2 elite RB's or WR's. Then again check your scoring settings, is it ppr? Return points? Then I'd just see how many total points each guy has to get a feel for who may be more valuable.

It is PPR league. I most likely will do Alfred Morris, Harvin, and Gronk, but if Spiller is the guy, he'll be hard not to keep since what he brings to that offense. I guess it'll have to come down to what other people keep and my draft position.

[BaLLiN]

seriously, can DeMarco Murray play for once? this is ridiculous.

[RCAChainGang]

Forte has been a disappointment.

[Bert Macklin]

Playoff time!!!! Thought I had a bye but didn't work out. I need 2 RB 2 WR and a flex.

1 PPR

My choices are

RB
Leshoure vs Indy
Mathews vs Cincy
Brown vs Dallas
Wells vs NYJ
Reece vs Cleveland

WR
Nelson vs Minny
Fitz vs NJY
Edelman vs Mia
Kerley vs Zona
Hartline vs NE
D Jax vs Dallas

[Jvig43]

I still have two weeks until the playoffs. Luckily just locked up a spot with a win. Really wish I had started Bryce brown last night tho.

[draftguru151]

I was super sad about trading Spiller away in my dynasty and then I realized I got Ray Rice back and now I'm not sad anymore. Stafford/Rice/Martin/Calvin/Julio/Gronk are mine forever mwahaha.

[Jvig43]

You get to have six keepers? That seems unfair haha.

Benching Fitz is a tough call but you gotta think that MIA is going to need to air it out and I imagine that the Jets will just blanket Fitz.

You don't think Wells vs NYJ is a better matchup than Reece vs Cincy?

IDK about Kerley with an equally awful offense, but Edelman is absolutely getting a decent share of the offense in NE. Check his status, though. He gets banged up a ton. Either way, Fitz is definitely a matchup guy who is bench worthy in any given week if you have a solid option to play instead.

Fred is on the wrong side of 30. Shanny will still be Morris' coach and that could mean some new "gem" that Shanny drafts in round 6 next year and strokes off to next year.

Spiller / Harvin / Gronk without hesitation for me.

Tough to trust Hernandez, unfortunately.

Jackson's matchup is a "bad" one against the Broncos but that should easily be overcome by the constant passing Tampa will have to employ to keep up. Their DST is one of the worst vs. the pass.

Amendola is somewhat spotty to begin with, and now his injury is severely limiting him. Pass on him until he is healthy.

[Bert Macklin]

I'd say its bold to start Edelman over Fitz but a hurt Edelman out scored Fitz last week... In one half...

If you get return yardage/TDs it's a no-brainer. Again, though, Edelman got smacked in the head last week and didn't return, and he's already missed time this year.

I HAVE to keep Morris because he's my rookie and I have to keep a rookie. I did have Doug Martin, but traded him because he was disappointing me and I needed a QB. Then the first two games he's on another team he went off. lol

[Jvig43]

So looks like Bryce is starting over Mccoy again, should I plug him in over Mathews this week? I'm tired of Mathews not getting me ****.

[Bert Macklin]

Brandon Meyers or Antonio Gates? Gates has laid eggs the last 2 weeks.

Yes. I'm benching him for Brown. My real quandary is do I play Wells or Mathews or Reece in the flex.

Yeah trying to figure out if I should start playing Sjax as well in the flex. It really depends on your WRs I'd say. I have trouble thinking I should start Sjax or Mathews over my Wrs of Wayne, Marshall, Bryant, and Nicks.

Dude dont hesitate to roll with Brown/Mathews (I actually expect a decent game now that they have nothing to lose or another stud RB) and Wayne/Marshall/Nicks
