Oh, the Dez conundrum. I couldn’t find a trade I liked, so now I’m just hoping he heals on the earlier part of the range.

I’d lean Fitz based on the guys you have. In my 2QB PPR, I started Teddy and Cutler last week….so very weak, but pulled out a win. Have Alex and Bortles on my bench and also picked up Manziel this week. Think I am still rolling with the same two for now though. Also have the Dez conundrum….sigh

Wow, Smith/Tyrod was a strong combo last week. Nicely done.

I, too, am disappointed with Smith this week. I didn’t expect KC to run the ball so well against Denver, so they threw less than I predicted. Then Smith had a couple fluky interceptions. All in all, not a great start.

I’m very tempted to go with Manziel, and you’re right — he’s absolutely in consideration for Konami code reasons. Their lack of WRs means he’s certainly not a great option for passing stats.

I went with Alex Smith and Tyrod in my 12 team superflex last week and ended up scoring the most points in my league. I dropped Cousins for Mallett with Fitzpatrick also on my bench. I’m going back to the well with Smith and Taylor this week and I’m a little worried after Thursday.
I like Mallett for the next few weeks, but since you’re streaming, I think it’s time to invoke the Konami code and go with Manziel this week. It’s nerve racking streaming 2 qbs, but the key is to have faith that the value you have at the other positions will bouy an occasional bad performance by a qb. It’s also tough when there’s such disparity between the bottom 12 qb rankings on various sites. But it’s also very rewarding when you win in the face of everyone that gave you crap for waiting on qb.
