I like Lacy ROS. But I understand the caution. CJ2K seems to be on fire lately so not a bad plug.

Dalton or Roethlisberger ?
I believe in safe, steady points so I think you go Dalton till Roethlisberger gets a game or two under his belt. Dalton is currently the #2 ranked QB by avg PPGs, so not like you have a huge dropoff even if Roethlisberger is 100%.

Doug Martin @ atl or Lamar Miller @ NE?

Torn on this one, don't like Lamar @ NE on Thursday night a few days after he went off. Have Martin in the lineup atm.

I'd go Miller. He didn't even play much in the second half of Sunday's game.

Should I trade Martellus Bennet and Amari Cooper for Mark Ingram? I could really use a RB and I have four good WRs (AJ Green, Cooper, Julian Edelman, and Allen Robinson). Ladarius Green is my other TE who I think I'd rather keep. Or should I aim for a better RB than Ingram? Even though he's one of the better ones this year.

Flex slot: John Brown, Eric Decker, Danny Woodhead, or Carlos Hyde.

Pretty much over Hyde.

I'm leaning towards Danny Woodhead. He's basically a 5+ catch per game receiver who gets a few rushing attempts a game.

Decker seems like a nearly guaranteed 11ish points. John Brown about the same.

I'm playing AP and Latavius Murray at RB right now. I might pull Murray(playing #1 ranked Jets D) for Woodhead and plug in Decker in the Flex. Thoughts?

PPR or standard scoring?

Assuming you are playing 2 WR's? It looks like swapping Bennett for Green in your lineup is basically a wash, you lose 1-2 PPG by dropping Cooper, so how many PPG's will you be gaining by adding Ingram over your current starting RB's? Generally speaking I'd say picking up the #4 overall ranked RB (in terms of PPG average) in exchange for not even your best WR would be a trade win.

Keep in mind you need to evaluate how much you'll be helping your opponent in terms of PPG as well, but also need to consider if them getting better helps or hurts you in regards to who they match up with over the rest of the season.

Assuming PPR? If so Woodhead looks like a must start over Murray regardless of matchup at this point.

I think I'd play Decker over Murray in the flex based on the matchup even though I generally like getting RB's in the flex if possible.

It's standard. My opponent isn't making playoffs. No way. Her team is terrible. And she's a Raiders homer so I'm pretty sure she'll go for this.

14 team league, been stashing players on my bench at this point just in case of injuries since nobody is available. Really glad I left Deangelo Williams there.
