Now that Brady is back I am torn on who to start this week. I have Brady, Roethlisberger and Tannehill. I'm leaning towards Brady or Ben. Thoughts?
Team O'Donnell FTW!

....unless it's Andrew Luck. Dude has all kinds of targets this year. That said, I got him and Gronk (I just vomited in my mouth a little). A little weak in RB, but I find it really hard any more to get one that is good. Especially in this keeper league. Luck was my keeper, btw.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.

I have the aforementioned Luck and Gronk; here's the rest of my stable.
RB: Carlos Hyde, Devonta Freeman, C.J. Spiller (get healthy!), Andre Williams, Terrance West, Josh Robinson (I really hope Gore isn't hurt bad, though), and I sat on the unsigned and suspended Ahmad Bradshaw b/c he might be the best option for the Colts if Gore is out...and the only other RB's available are like third string on the Texans.
WR: Vincent Jackson, Eric Decker, Breshad Perriman (get healthy, too!), Leonard Hankerson, and Donte Moncrief (Colts homer, and looked good last week).
No backup TE, but I have plenty of roster space to pick up someone for the bye (stay healty, Gronk).
Justin Tucker is the K.
Bills D with Titans on backup (I'll take about anyone who has to play the AFC South 6 times and they play Houston when the Bills are resting).
That said, what with Perriman and Spiller injured, I have some pretty easy choices and some junky interchangeable junk around them. Luck, Gronk, and Hyde combined last week to beat my opponent by 15. Add in the rest and it was a 50 point win (second highest score in the league, with the highest getting 3.5 points or so more).
All that to say, one game in, I'm feeling alright about this team. There might be some waiver work to do, and I haven't paid much attention to byes and backups to make sure I'm covered, yet. I should snap up Jameis or Tyrod Taylor off of FAs to fill in for Luck, but I might wait to see how things shake out. Heck, I could get Manziel or Fitzpatrick for a week, too.
Ahh, screw that. I just dropped Bradshaw and got Jameis.

I would avoid the saints. They've gotten old with not much to revive the team.
Tyrod Taylor or Andrew Luck?

I don't really have any other roster problems this week. I'm pretty much forced to play what I have available due to bye or injury. CJ Spiller and Dexter McCluster aren't reliable enough to play when I have better options at RB and FLEX. Unless I'm just done with Carlos Hyde after his last game. Still I think Hyde gives me better chances of a big game than either of those.

Still two teams in the league at 4-1, so I don't have all that much breathing space. I've got the highest point total in the league, but I also have the lowest points against. Week 5 was my lowest score, yet.
My biggest complaint about this league is the waiver structure. Every FA returns to waivers each week. I prefer the clear waivers once and then you're a FA until someone picks you up model. I also like the cycling of waiver order rather than since I'm in 1st I'm last in waivers all week, but I can live with that either way if I could have gotten the guys I tried to snag who should have been free agents.
Since Taylor is out and Luck is still in limbo, I picked up Tannehill for insurance this week, dropping Perriman who may or may not play this year, I guess. I had some hopes for the kid.
My WR2 and Flex options are my major decision this week. Choices are:
Donte Moncrief
Leonard Hankerson (Q)
Ted Ginn, Jr.
C.J. Spiller
Charles Clay
Right now I have Moncrief slotted as WR2 and Spiller in the Flex. If Hankerson gets upgraded, I might play him. As much as I want the Colts to win against NE, I'm not looking to Moncrief for points this week, esp. with Luck maybe hurting. Ginn is still probably a worse option then Moncrief, though. I don't look for Clay to do much with Taylor out. Buffalo might be hurting this week. I don't trust Spiller either, though. Here's to hoping Hankerson plays.
Secondary decision: I'm considering starting Titans' D against Miami instead of Buffalo against Cincinnati.

As for your flex I would probably agree that Spiller is the lesser of all the evils there but none of them really look that attractive. Anybody out on waivers you might be able to snag?

Waivers stink. Tried to get Charcandrick West and Steve Smith, Sr. but was beat in waiver priority. Almost stashed Smith last week but I had several byes to cover and couldn't pick him up.

The year I played a strategy where I took most guys that shared a bye week I won the league. Had 6 or 7 starters out one week but then just rolled the rest of the weeks.

Barring injury news this week, I'm in a dilemma for my flex. Three guys competing for one spot. One faces Jax, one faces the Titans, and one faces Wash. Each could eat up their competition.
Leonard Hankerson of the Falcons vs. Ten.
Vincent Jackson of the Bucs vs. Wash.
Charles Clay of the Bills vs. Jax.
Technically, C.J. Spiller and Ahmad Bradshaw could fit in the spot, too, but I don't think they're on the level of the other choices.
