Who would you start Chris Johnson or Alfred Morris? Also do you think that Danny Amendola would be better long term vs. DHB? 8 team ppr league

Would you keep Fred Davis or drop him for Jacob Tamme in a PPR league? Also who would you start in the flex position this week Antonio Brown, Jeremy Maclin or Alfred Morris?

Snatched Morris 10 mins before gametime when I heard he was the starter. Yay me! Now, do I play him or Wayne in my flex? I have a strong feeling that the Skins will roll, but how do you overlook 18 targets so easily??

Would you drop Titus Young, Heyward-Bey, or Torrey Smith for Randy Moss?

Not the truth, man. Just your perspective. I won’t even bring up the multitude of no-names he turned into big-time back with the Broncos. Just sticking with the Redskins, he tried to make Torain the main back in 2010 after he showed some flash in the season opener, giving him 18,16, 20, and 21 carries in the next four games. Torain then got hurt. For the next two games, he tried to make Keiland Williams (a rookie!) the man, giving him 16 and 23 carries while Torain was out. When Torain returned from injury, he gave him 24, 11, 20, and 18 carries to finish out the year. In 2011, Tim Hightower was the man right out of the gate, and got 25, 20, 14, 8, and 17 carries. It was apparent to everyone that Hightower was not good enough for that type of role, but he saved everyone the hard choices by getting injured. Shanahan then did a platoon-like backfield for a couple of games, and Helu emerged the winner. He then got 23, 23, 27, 23 carries over the next four games until he got hurt. Royster then finished up the season with 19 and 20 carries. Those are the facts. The conclusions you draw from them are your opinions.

@ Matt,
When was the last year Shanny had a bell cow back? Don’t be sick of the truth, my friend.

@ Craig Yanover,
Dwyer looked better than Redman but not great. Don’t buy high on a guy who might be splitting time with two other guys in a few weeks.

@ Dan,
I would hold on to Fred Davis. Not much use in Week 1 but he is a talented player.

@ Ford,
At this point, I prefer Olsen but not by much over Pitta. I would definitely dump Moss to add Pitta. As for Hill, he likely put up 25% of his fantasy 2012 production in Week 1.

What do you think of Dennis Pitta vs. Greg Olsen of Carolina? Olsen is my starting TE and I don’t have a backup TE. I have Santana Moss and Titus Young as 2 of my 3 bench spots. Would you drop either one of them for Pitta? I also considered adding Stephen Hill….They are both Free Agents, so I don’t have to use any waiver priority. Thanks!
