Coin flip.
I was leaning Vereen just barely, went to look at the expert picks. 87% Crowell in non-PPR, 52% Crowell in half PPR, and 81% Vereen in PPR.
My usual aversion to NE RB's doesn't apply much to Vereen, he's more of a receiver really. I'd probably go with him and just hope it's his turn to be the random Brady 2 TD target. Bills run D is pretty stout also.
And now my flex dilemma.
Tre Mason vs. Oakland
Frank Gore vs. Seattle
Mike Wallace vs. Jets
Roddy White vs. Arizona
Jordan Matthews vs. Dallas
Or if Julius Thomas plays I guess him/Gates are an option as well.
I've got Mason in there right now, but Jordan Matthews is tempting. He seems to be the go to guy for the Sanchize....but the big negative is he's also playing with the Sanchize.

After my 3rd consecutive loss I was ready to bench DeSean Jackson and keep Matthews in at the Flex spot. However, Jackson has now had 2 bad games in a row and is due for a breakout game, and he will have a new QB throwing to him. Also Matthews will be going against a stout Baltimore run defense, so it just doesn't feel smart to play him.
I also grabbed the Bengals D since they are playing against TB. Do I take them or play the Colts against the Redskins. Now I feel like I am just contradicting myself!
The last 3 weeks I have had big games from a couple guys, and then left points on the bench. What to do?!
Oh, and since I am for sure benching Watkins I expect him to score at least 20.

I'm playing Indy. Colt McCoy don't scare me. That said, it's a toss up. Both had a string of bad games before last week. Bengals a little more reliable, but the Colts worst were against freakishly good passing games. You really can't fault yourself for betting against either TB or Washington.
Jackson vs. Mathews is tough. Like I said last week, match up barely matters for Jackson it's just a gamble on him breaking one or two. He does seem to get 7+ targets when the white guys are at QB though. Mathews is running his dick off, but like you said the Ravens run D is fairly stout. Though they've come down a little lately. With Rivers playing hurt Mathews might still get enough carries to win out.

PPR: Kelvin Benjamin vs. Minnesota or Brandon Marshall vs. Detroit? I have Marshall in right now, but Cutler hasn't been great in the past on Thanksgiving, plus Cam Newton has been erratic all year.

Not a bad idea if he still has him. GB gives up a lot to WRs. Only problem with him is Tommy Bieber's obsession with TE's when it comes time to score.
Erratic? Is that a synonym for fucking awful and worthless and trying to kill my entire fucking season? Piece of shit broke 20 once this whole fucking season. ESPN still has him projected in the top 10 every fucking week. It's like fantasy football projection affirmative action or some shit...
Cutler, now he's been erratic.
Either way I'd go Benjamin, just been a lot more reliable than Marshall. As bad as Cam is Benjamin is his clear #1 target every week and gets the chances to score. Marshall on any given week can be #1-4 in Chicago.
edit: QB2 I'm in the same spot as last week. Playing Mettenberger with Newton and Alex Smith on my bench. Stafford in QB1 vs. the atrocious Chicago D and I'm still not comfortable with that piece of shit. I hate my quarterbacks with a white hot fury...

Yeah I still have Lafell as an option in there as well. Here is a quick pick of what I am currently going with, and what options I have on the bench. Maclin hasn't produced as much either since Sanchez started, but I still don't think I could bench him.

Now that I'm out of the playoffs after half my team got hurt or suspended, it's time to start every Cleveland Browns player I can get my hands on. Goodbye AD, hello Manziel.
