No filters with Yahoo on this one, and I ran the cash game projections. We get some similar plays with Russell Wilson, Jarvis Landry, Allen Robinson, and Larry Fitzgerald. These three are solid wideouts for the week across the industry, with Robinson being a little more risky. The Michael Crabtree pick seems more of a GPP move to me, but at $14, not a terrible value play.

I don't mind the pass catching backs, but I would like to add a stable back in here, with Marshawn Lynch being my favorite. That would lead me to change out Wilson.

I previously had Ladrius Green in there, but an injury should keep him out. Colossus loves Kelce this week, and so do I.

Broncos defense has some upside against the Lions offense, who may or may not have Stafford under center.

Moving to a GPP projection for Yahoo, we get Cam Newton over Russell Wilson, which is a solid GPP pivot. The dropdown, and addition of value play, James Starks, allows you to get in Antonio Brown.

This removes Michael Crabtree, and Tyler Eifert is the new tight end. Eifert is a big time red zone target, and should be one of the lower owned "expensive" tight ends.

I have seen the Packers defense mentioned a few times for GPP's, although Alex Smith turned the ball over a few times last week, the Chiefs limit defenses upside.

Yahoo's pricing is so tough it is hard to build a quality lineup with a stud quarterback. I wonder if Brown has the most upside this week with Bell coming back. I personally would go Julio with no Coleman. The Falcons used him in the screen game and basically made Jones their starting tailback with the screens.

I have been out in Arizona, and have not been able to test Yahoo yet. Just got back and tried it out, salary is a little tighter, but I enjoy it. I like Jones, but also very hard to not have any Brown shares.

I agree it is splitting hairs between the two. Jones has a tad more upside for me being the only real threat for the Falcons but Brown is consistent as they come. I enjoy Yahoo as well and have been very successful at it.
