3 questions:
1. I’m trying to decide my flex for week 4 (PPR league). Pre-waiver my options are C. Carson, Breida, Royce Freeman, Jarvis Landry, Curtis Samuel. I have been playing Carson in my flex but his fumble issues and 4 point, week 3 stinker have me second guessing.
2. Also, any thoughts on Mark Andrews, I was lucky enough to get him on waivers after week one, but the injury appears to have hampered him?
3. Is Aaron Rogers ever going to throw more than 1 TD in a game? Ive finally thrown in the towel on him and put my backup in
1. Breida is on a bye-week for Week 4...that being said, I would probably narrow it down to Freeman vs. Samuel. Of those 2, I think I'd be more interested in Samuel in Week 4. Denver faces a decent run defense against Jacksonville. Jarvis is highly targeted, but the Browns haven't looked great offensively for it to translate to catches/yardage. Chris Carson could be in play, but with his fumbling and Rashaad Penny possibly returning, I think I'd look elsewhere.
2. I'd still feel good keeping Mark Andrews. I think the foot issue did play a part in his less-than-stellar week, but Baltimore barely converted 50% of their passes, so that likely played a decent part in it. If he continues to carry a Questionable tag, I'd tread carefully starting him, but it's hard to stray away from the big numbers he put up in the first couple of weeks.
3. Well you know Aaron Rodgers will throw for multiple touchdowns as soon as you bench him, right? That's the nightmare of Fantasy Football. I do like his match-up this week vs Philly, a team that should be able to put up points that Rodgers will have to match...although the Packers defense has been playing well enough that this may not end up being the case!

The news of Rubio being a top target for the Pacers in free agency is not at all exciting. Sure, he's younger than Collison...I don't doubt that he'd be an upgrade...but I feel like he and DC are cut from the same cloth; they're both non-scoring guards. True, Rubio is a better facilitator than DC, but if Vic's off a night, we can't expect to get scoring from our guard position, which definitely hurt us last year.
Also, flashy-passing, Timberwolves Rubio is exponentially more fun to watch than 28 year old, purely fundamental Rubio.

I feel like the Pacers' priority will be to re-sign Bogdanovic. I'm not sure that they'll re-sign Thad. I would love to have Thad back because of everything that he brings (minus a jumper) however, I believe that he'll aim to get one more "big" contract before his age starts to diminish his value. Whether or not the Pacers will give him this contract remains to be seen.
Also, just a personal opinion here, I would not at all mind seeing Darren Collison gone next year.
CoJo kinda fizzled out (shooting-wise) from pretty much the middle season on, but I would like to see him back for defensive purposes.

I'll be interested in seeing if Lowry disappears like he's known to do in the playoffs. I'm actually semi-impressed at the job he's done so far...even with the 0 point game he had.lol
I can see Toronto taking 2 games...can't fathom more than that though.

The thing about Kawhi is.
He gives you absolutely no indication of what he likes or wants.
If he stayed in Toronto, I would not be surprised.
If he left Toronto, I also would not be surprised.
..and he changes his ways
Remember, he refused to play hurt for San Antonio last year when they badly needed him
This year, he played the entire east finals on one leg.
I would like to see him go to the Lakers just to get him out of the East
I agree. Kawhi has long been a player that's hard to read. I feel like there are a lot of NBA players that make their intentions well known, and you can almost predict what move they're going to make. While you might not guess the team they'll go to, you can pretty accurately estimate whether or not they're going to stay or leave in free agency. With Kawhi, it's a mystery.
With the run that they're on, I could see him tempted to stay, however, I'm sure if he chose to leave, he'd choose a team he feels like he could go on a very similar run with. Nothing about him screams absolute loyalty to Toronto, but you never know. He's just very tough to get a read on.
I'm all about the East being competitive, but yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing him go back West.

This is a tough one. I'd hate to bench Andrews knowing the numbers he can put up, but that foot injury is worrisome.
Dissly is definitely targeted quite a bit...although I think they both got 8 targets last week. I don't think either of them have an especially favorable match-up.
I would start Dissly this week, hoping for at least some form of shootout between the Rams and Seahawks. As long as Russ keeps targeting the TE, it could be another good game.
Thursday games are tough because you can go in to the weekend feeling good if your player performs...or you can dread the weekend if he's a dud!
