All of us fantasy players who spend anytime on this site during football season knows there will be a million of these questions. So, this will be the official source of Start 'em/Sit 'em advice on the OG. I'll start it off with an odd dilemma. Would you guys start two RBs from the same team. Here's my team and what I'm thinking. QB Tom Brady WR Demarius Thomas WR Antonio Brown RB jamaal Charles RB Toby Gerhart TE Kyle Rudolph W/R/T Peyton Hillis Bench Brandon Lafell Ben Tate Trent Richardson Danny Amendola Jacob Tamme Matt Schaub I feel good about my lineup thus far but I' questioning whether to flex Hillis or Lafell. I just don't know that it's a good idea to start two RBs from the same team eventhough in this case both Charles and Hillis are listed as starters and potentially will be splitting rushing duties 50/50. I'm thinking I should wait on Lafell to see what he does before relying on him this early. I've already ruled out Tate and Richardson so don't go there. What do you guys think? |

I would start Tamme over Rudolph. Peyton has played with Tamme before and Rudolph is a rookie. I just think Tamme gets more passes his way.

I hope foster isn't out but he is a game time decision. I'd roll with Tate if he sits.

With two players the caliber of Charles and Hillis I think you're fine. Especially in a PPR as both of them have shown the ability to catch the ball. You could end up seeing lines of something like this. Charles 12 carries 88 yds, 6 rec 55 yds. Hillis: 10 carries 48 yds TD, 5 recs 40 yds. Close to 20 points for both in that scenario. With Foster playing do you see that from Tate? That's Tate's ceiling.

Guys I couldn't have a more difficult situation today. I monopolized the backup RBs in my draft so now my flex scenario is a shit show. Start one. Reggie Bush, Rashad Jennings, Ben Tate, Turbin. I have to go with Bush right? Am I over thinking this? He's playing the Texans though and they'll be behind.

OP, I hope you've heard the news that AP will be active today. Might want to start Richardson instead of Gerhart. Trent won't put up 20 points today but will easily out score Toby

I'm in a tough spot. My 3 available for Flex are listed as questionable. Marshawn Lynch expected to get a dozen carriers and against a meh Arizona defense. Beanie Wells expected to play but against the Seattle Defense. Stevie Johnson groin issues, will draw Darrelle Revis if he plays. Although he has lit up Revis due to his style, will his explosveness be there given groin issues?

Russell Wilson or Joe Flacco who should I start. Russell goes against Arizona and Flacco against Cincy.

My RBs did nothing for me.
