PPR - Gio, Antonio, Dobson - who sits?

[wilwhite]

Caught between personal bias, chasing last week's performance, and a possible breakout game.

Gio Bernard in Cleveland
Antonio Brown in London
Dobson in Atlanta

Which of these three sits in a PPR league?

 

[Sox33OSU]

Dobson. For sure.

 

[JDM]

I'm biased on Dobson, but this is a tough one.

I don't think brown matches last week. I think I sit him.

I would sit Brown only because the game is in london... london games are impossible to predict... they are played in strange fielding conditions, with strange fans... Dont forget they both have to travel 6+ hours... every team has a disadvantage when the go cross country to play a home team, when both teams do it then they will equally be sloppy... I never trust london games and i never trust thursday games...

The Steelers/Vikings game could be played on the moon and I would start Brown over Dobson.

Brown and Gio are your clear starters.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

agree with Money - leave Dobson on bench, start Antonio and Gio

I'd sit Dobson. With Gronk (maybe) coming back this week I can see Brady uing his new toy early and often.

If Gronk comes back it just opens Dobson up.

If Gronk comes back it just opens Dobson up.

Or does it open Edelman up? Also, even when teams try to cover Gronk, he still gets open and makes catches. Thats what makes him such a unique TE/pass catcher.

Thanks, guys - another possibility is to sit Witten and play all three.

Dobson over Witten??

Gronk still gets his touches, of course. Edelman doesn't have his role increase as his biggest value is that Brady trusts him. Gronk takes more of the security blanket type role back, and Edelman is still not a threat to really stretch the field. That is Dobson and thompkins, and they still get looks because Tom and bill know they need to be involved down the stretch to make this team a threat.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Everyone expecting Gronk to play, huh? Me too, but it's far from guaranteed, and we're all talking like he's a no doubter... that being said, I'm sitting Dobson out of that group.

 

[JDM]

I'm just talking in a hypothetical. I'd rather he not be rushed back.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Id actually bet that he doesnt play this week, then comes back week 5, which was expected over the summer, that he'd miss 4-6 games. If they bring him back this week, I hope it is limited so he doesnt reinjure the back or anything else
