bit the bullet and dropped big ben for cousins(after someone dropped him prematurely?)

I think big ben will have an adequate season but he has 2 road games coming up and then plays the jags at home

Just not buying this road game shit. He pretty much scored the same in the last 2 games. Home and away. Anyone making that argument is suspect to me. No good explanations based in facts for his prior road game struggles.

Need some advice with my lineup (non-PPR)

For my Flex spot: Hyde or Gordon
For WR2: Jeremy Maclin or Golladay

For flex, Gordon hasn't let me down yet, but Hyde did really well last week and it seems people like him (he's projected to get more), probably either would be a solid choice but I'm wondering what other people think.
For WR, projections have them at basically the same level, so I'm leaning Maclin because Golladay did awful last week.

The road game at Cleveland versus at home vs Minnesota... On the road vs one of the worst defenses in the league without their #1 pick or at home against a top 3 defense. He should not have scored around the same number of points in the last 2 games.

If he can manage to score more points at home against a top defense than on the road against a bottom tier defense, what makes you think you'd be starting him on the road against better defenses like Baltimore and Kansas City???

i'm rolling the dice and there's a good chance it'll backfire, but I like cousins rest of season schedule than big ben's. It's not a huge loss for me since I picked him up in the last round and most people in my work league(10 man) don't have a 2nd quarterback rostered so there's some decent streamers out there. Might have to cut luck loose if he's still not practicing after another ~2 weeks though.

In my one leage I'm riding big Ben all year. I had him penciled in as a top 5 QB this year, and I don't see any reason to think otherwise.

If I was getting Bell i would take it and run / never look back. Dude is likely panicking from 2 mediocre games but Bell played a TON last week against a great defense.

I have Garcon And Kupp, not sure which I'm gonna start tonight or bench both. If I do this Maclin would be my WR2 for the week, and my flex would be between Joe Mixon and Evan Engram. Wish we had some clarification already on what Lazor is gonna do in Cincy, most signs point to Micon given he's already had more work than Hill and looked the more talented back. Standard scoring league.

I'm nervous. Got Gurley in 2 leagues and starting the Rams defense since it should be a good match up for them. But I know how Thursday night fuckball goes, and I'm really thinking about benching him for either Derrick Henry or Chris Carson.

General question: Do you think Jimmy Graham will be worth anything at some point this season? I'm considering dropping him just to pick up a streaming defense.

The road doesn't magically make him suck. It's a lame narrative. It's not like he plays on turf at home. You're not pointing to any thing that changes his skills depending on where he's playing

Playing in a hostile environment that is insanely loud every time he comes out the huddle? There's a reason teams play for home field advantage....

This is a dude whos won playoff games on the road on the way to a Super Bowl. He should be aware of home field advantage. Sidelining a guy because of a narrative about his performance on the road is lame. Play matchups and not narratives.
