semi ot - fantasy football help

**semi-ot because 2 Rutgers alums mentioned**

This week I have a flex position open in my family's PPR league. Who do you like?

I have 3 players I am considering:
RB Ingram from NO - projected to get 10 pts
WR Snead from NO- projected to get 11 pts
WR Sanu (RU alum) from Atl- projected to get 11 pts

New Orleans plays Denver and Atlanta plays Philly

Thinking Sanu but Ingram usually gets 4-5 reception attempts per game plus running yards. Ingram is splitting carries with Hightower though. Sanu can potentially get 7-8 pass receptions but he is the 2nd option on his team behind Jones. Snead is competing with Cooks, Thomas, and Coleman (RU alum) for receptions.

NO throws it a lot so don't know about Ingram running a lot.
Snead will probably catch some, but probably not as many as Sanu.
I think I would go with him vs Philly on the road.

Denver D is too good. Sanuuuu all the way.

Denver D is too good. Sanuuuu all the way.

Even though the game is in New Orleans, they're not what they once were in the dome. That Denver D is tough and the Atlanta offense is on fire right now. Go with Sanu.

Here's my dilemma. I must play one of these two RB combinations:
Elliot (DAL @ PIT) & Ajayi (MIA @ SD)

OR

D Johnson (ARI vs. SF) & D. Booker (DEN @ NO)

What do you mean play of of the two combinations? What rules do you play by... why can't you start Johnson and Elliot?

Regardless, there is zero reason to sit Johnson no matter the matchup.

In this league you buy and sell players like stocks. I have enough funds that I want to play one of those combinations. Booker was such a dud last week.

I'd take the Elliot/ Ajayi combo personally.

Should I start Blount or Lewis(if he plays) this week at my flex?

Talib expected to be out again this week against the Saints, weakening their pass D, but based on lineups Snead will probably get Harris who is pretty good. He has the most targets on the team since the week 5 bye, but he hasn't done anything with him. Ingram is probably spitting carries, but Denver's weakness is their ground D.

Atlanta's offense is as hot as they come, but Sanu plays the possession type guy in their big play passing game.

TBH, all mediocre decisions. All are similar, Ingram probably has the best chance for a TD but could also be a bust in a timeshare. So go Ingram if you want boom/bust type and go Sanu if you want the highest floor, but low ceiling.

If you really want to take a risk take a look at Eagles WR Bryce Treggs. He's a deep threat that they want to get more involved in their passing game and Atlanta's D is bad.

As for the other question, with Elliot and Ajayi you are getting 2 in the top five 5 RBs this week, vs Johnson who is by far the number #1 and Booker who is probably around 20 or so. So again, it's risk vs reward. Elliot and Ajayi have a safer floor, but if Booker does anything, the other 2 have a higher ceiling. Keep in mind the 49ers D is the worst in the league against the run, giving up a mind boggling 193 yards per game.

Thanks

Will probably go with Sanu. Would rather 5 receptions for 60 yards (11 points) instead of a RB that may only get 3 receptions for 25 yards and 15 carries for 35 yards while Hightower gets the goal line TD (8 points).
