It's hard to sit Tate, I agree with IanPetros. We've got Oliver out in both leagues. It's possible he blows up and gets a big workload though so I don't think IanPetros is wrong in following his gut there.

I like McKinnon too... nice matchup and his role seems just to be expanding. Our rankings say Oliver sits.

Yeah I have Oliver sitting in 3 leagues actually and just can't accept it. Anyway... thanks for confirming!

I am also in an Oliver/Vereen quandary...

I think that the Chargers are interested in getting scores rather than controlling the clock per se, but in the games against the Broncos last year, their success was tied to the persistence of their running game. I'm betting on Oliver getting 20+ touches, some of them of course through the air. There is risk here, but less risk than Belicheck's mutating game plan presents (I actually started Vereen last week because so many people were talking about Bolden that I felt sure Belicheck would go the other way...I think this week Brady will find matchups he likes and spend more time putting the ball up (barring wild weather).

I think you have to go with Tate; I don't think McKinnon is going to give up many touches to Asiata no matter what the coaches are saying, but I would still definitely go with Oliver there. As for Vereen vs. Oliver; I'm going to take the Charger on gut...just my two cents of course.
