I have my lineup set this week except for one of my two flex positions. Should I start MJD or Josh Gordon? It's a PPR league and they're projected to get about the same number of points. I have a feeling MJD's due for a good week but Gordon's explosive and it's hard to sit him on the bench.
I'm currently 6-5 and in 5th place and need to win one out of the next two weeks to clinch a playoff spot. Thanks!
MJD will continue to get low yards, but is always a threat to score. Houston's going to stop the run, and make us beat them with Chad.
Cleveland will shut down Antonio Brown, and probably prevent the Steelers from making it a shootout. Plus, Jason Campbell (who I like, but is newish to the team).
I'd go with Maurice.
When in doubt go with the RB.
I see MJD scoring 13 points... Gordon might get you even more if you're willing to risk it.
Both had outstanding days, but hope you picked Josh.

Good news bad news. I played MJD and he scored a lot of points for me but Gordon lit it up. My huge mistake though was benching Gordon in favor of Hakeem Nicks. He was a late scratch and netted me a big goose egg. I'm done with Nicks - never playing him again. I have excellent receivers too and why I bother with Nicks is sheer stupidity on my part. In addition to Gordon, I have Jordy Nelson, Demaryius Thomas, Percy Harvin and Dwayne Bowe. I just thought Nicks would light up the porous Dallas 'D' but that obviously never materialized. Won't make that mistake again. I might even cut Nicks and just be done with him.
Luckily, I still won this week to get to 7-5 and I'm actually in decent shape to get the 2 seed and bye week for the playoffs if I win next week.

He's on my bench. As you know, not every player on your team's going to be an All-Pro. He was a throw-in on a trade I made a few weeks ago. I gave up Aaron Rodgers (right before his injury) and Deandre Hopkins for Philip Rivers, Demaryius Thomas and Dwayne Bowe. I was 2-5 at the time and now I'm 7-5 after winning 5 in a row. Russell Wilson's my starting QB and Rivers is my backup.
I would have released Bowe right away and picked up someone asap. Dude isn't going to do anything for you in that offense. He's being wasted there.
Also I kind of can't believe you played mjd over Gordon lol
