CLE could be playing catchup this game and he'll see some work I think. None are really great options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably take Beasley as the safest floor. Not much of a ceiling unfortunately though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None are really great options though. Yeah, I figured, but I can't remember the last time he got double digits. I had Duke last year, and he always seemed underwhelming every time. I had friends again talk him up, and still only got like 3 pts last week. I have Alshon Jeffrey waiting to come back, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke was solid last year so don't worry about game 1. He's a solid bench guy to play in a pinch. You could do worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think your play is Beasley because of the floor. I think you can expect a lot of what he did in week 1 - something like 7 for 70, which is good for 14 points in a full ppr league. Dak looks for him a lot, he leads all their receivers in snap percentage and honestly, because he's essentially the cowboys #1 receiver even though he's out of the slot, I like him as being more likely to score a touchdown. Too much unknown for me for Duke. Last year he put up really nice numbers, but the weapons and quarterback are better this year for cleveland, so they don't have to depend on him as much in the passing game, particularly with the addition of Landry. It's hard to get a gauge on how they are going to use him as well - he was on the field for less than half the offensive snaps in week 1, but given the weather, hard to know if that is the actual usage he is going to have, or if it was just because of the weather. He's not going to get the short yardage work, and shouldn't get more than a few carries a week, so you're really relying on him either breaking one, or being a bigger participant in the passing game, which as I alluded to before, is not a guarantee right now.

vikesfan89 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 How good is Catalina's defense? I'm tempted to start Matt Ryan over Aaron Rodgers against Minnesota. Would that be dumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha..... I feel the same way. I’d have to drop DeVante Parker to pick Pettis up (which might not be a bad move anyway) while I can save the move and just play Lewis over Robinson. My big hang up is Keenum just threw for over 300 on Seattle. Robinson might just have a 10/100/1 line against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get 12 moves for the entire year. I have 11 left. I’m sure I won’t be playing Parker but the move is important and it’s only week 2. I scooped up Aaron Jones with my first move. Hope that ends up being a diamond in the rough pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree with your assessment and reasoning. I put Beasley in, and hope that he continue close to double-digits, if not more. Without Witten or Dez (and Zeke not really big in the passing game, except a couple per game), I think Beasley will be Dak's safety valve this year and his go-to-guy. I also have Zeke, too as my RB1. I'll use Beasley until I can get Alshon back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know why they are pulling Collins out at the goal line. Weird. I'm guessing it's because of the fumbles. But if Collins isn't the goal line back, that's a problem, because he's not the receiving back either. What kind of sucks is that the game flow of neither game has helped at all. The first game was a complete blow out so early that they rested starters in the second half, and this game they are way behind so early all they can do now is throw the football.
