It's a big week for me. If I win I'm in the playoffs and I think I can take the crown if I get in. I already have Tom Brady, CJ Anderson, And Gio Bernard locked in. I'm hoping to get Tim wright off waivers since Ertz sucks. But I have no clue who to sit between those four Wrs. I tried like hell to trade one, but nobody would give me anything significant. So, who should I sit this week?

Josh Gordon at BUF
Demaryius Thomas at kc
Calvin Johnson vs Chicago
Or
Antonio Brown vs NO

I'm leaning mostly towards Calvin I think. I wish I could start all four.

Though it may seem like blasphemy, out of those 4, I sit Calvin. As an owner of Brown, Gordon and Calvin myself, I can honestly say I am not expecting the world from him. I have Mike Evans as my 4th so it is much easier for me to sit Evans, than it would be to be in your shoes and have to sit one of your 4.

You can't possibly sit Antonio the way he's played this year. Gordon is set to continue what he did last year. DT is the primary guy and will continue to get loads of TDs if Julius is gimpy.

I'm sittting Gordon of that group. Buffalo's defense is for real and it won't take much for them to shut down any resemblance of a running game forcing Clevelad to be one dimensional, always easier to defend when you know what's coming.

The Bears and Saints can both be putrid defensively, and Denver is in a must win game to clinch the division outright.

I'm sitting Gordon too. Benching anyone vs the Bears is a mistake, let alone Calvin

As a bears fan, I am aware of their defensive woes. On top of that fuller, their best corner probably won't play. With all of that said, something is wrong with Calvin. I agree that I think it's between Calvin and Gordon. I'm leaning towards Gordon now, but Calvin isn't too far behind.

Ankle? Nerve damage in his hands? Deteriorating eye sight? Any guess as to what it is?

If I had such first world problems, Id be leaning CJ as well. With Riley Reif out(most likely), Staff will be picking himself up off the turf more often than he should, yet again. It's a brutal offense. he's made it to the end zone once since Game 1. And he is not making catches. Easy catches. (Well under half his targets are completions I believe)
Hope Im leaning the wrong way.

Agreed about Gordon. No Fuller for Bears and in Detroit on a short week.

How does someone get DT, CJ and Antonio in the same draft? This league must have the worst group of owners on the planet

How does one end up with Calvin, Thomas, and Antonio......yet still have Gio?

In my league all 4 of those guys were gone 24 picks in to the draft.

So what does your opponent's lineup look like? You should have a pretty good matchup, unless there's a huge difference in RBs. For me, it would be between Calvin or Josh.

Here is the match up as it stands now. My team on the right, his on the left.

QB- Peyton vs Brady
RB1- Demarco Murray vs gio Bernard
RB2- Frank Gore vs CJ Anderson
WR1- Julian Edelman vs Demaryius Thomas
WR2- Martavius Bryant vs Antonio Brown
Flex- Alshon Jeffery vs Calvin Johnson
TE- Antonio Gates vs Tim Wright
D/St- 49ers vs Colts or panthers
K- Haushka vs Nugent

His top backups that could be subbed in are Crabtree, V Davis, and J Stewart. The only subs I am considering are Gordon and my defense.
