Thanks

Thanks, Jeff. Not sure I am a believer either, but was thinking starter on a higher scoring team might be better than interloper part-time player. Matchups favor IND down the road however. Thank you again.Have a good Thanksgiving!

Jeff:

(1) Rice, Ridley, or JC - need two in a .5 ppr.

(2) Maclin, Lloyd, M. Williams, or T. Young - need two out of this quartet.

Thoughts?

Thanks

 
Jeff,

Was offered the following monster in a 12 team dynasty PPR. I can't bring myself to accept the deal. It's about 99% certain I'm out of the playoffs, so I'm looking towards next year now:

I give: Forte, FJax, Demaryius Thomas

I receive: Doug Martin, Blount, Dwyer and Mike Wallace

Roster:

Stafford, Cutler

Forte, FJax, Reggie Bush, Lamar Miller, Quizz Rodgers, Donald Brown,

Thomas, Torrey Smith, Carolina Steve Smith, Amendola, Kerley, James Jones, Rod Streater

Finley, Keller

I love Martin, but can't bring myself to deal Thomas.

Thoughts?

 
Hi Jeff, thanks again for your help! Hope you are feeling better!

Marcel Reece put me back in the playoff hunt!

I have quite the dilemma: I must pick 4 of these players. I can use 2 RBs and 2 WRs or 1 RB and 3 WRs.

The choices are: Spiller, Fred Jackson, Reece, Mathews and Cobb, Nelson, Harvin, Danario Alexander, Cecil Shorts.

Nice problem to have but tearing my hair out! I'm leaning Spiller, Cobb and Nelson with Harvin not 100%. The last spot is tough.

Thoughts?

Have a great Thanksgiving!

I like it for you, even though I like Thomas a ton. Getting the young RB will help your lineup each week. Plus, Wallace is expected to be elsewhere next year, and hopefully in better situation

I think you play Harvin if he plays and Spiller is a great play esp if FJax sits. For the last two, it comes down to Reece, the GB WRs, Alexander, and Mathews. I do not like Mathews and do not trust Alexander yet. So, two of Reece, Cobb, and Nelson. I think you gotta start Cobb. I think you start Reece if McFadden is still out and Nelson if not.Good luck
 
Jeff,

Any idea on when Murray comes back?

Kaepernick,Palmer or Rivers??

Need Three out of these this wee Jeff: Charles,Morris,Reece,Parmelee,Hillman,Brown

Myers or Bennett?

Harvin or Austin.....only due to harvin injury do i ask.

Sproles or L. Moore,or harvin this week in ppr....been playing both moore and

Colston on one team, and it's been good for a few weeks.

Kerley, or Shorts?

Pats or Panthers?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks

Hey Jeff

I need some advice as to which 2 flex players to start this week in my PPR league.

Scoring is .8 pts per reception, 1 pt for 8 yards receiving, 1 pt for 10 yards rushing and all TD = 6 pts

Which 2 should I start?

1. RB Leshoure vs Hou

2. TE Keller vs NE

3. RB Sproles vs SF

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi Jeff! Well my playoffs are dimming but still alive. Next week, once again I have huge dilemmas!

QB: Rodgers or RG3? I almost want to with RG3 for the fun factor but not sure Rodgers won't rebound in a big way.

RB and WR (can play 2 and 2, or 1 and 3) Spiller, Mathews, Fred Jackson, Reece, DMC, Cobb, Harvin, Nelson, Shorts and Garson.

Lots of choices again! Would you be nervous about the GB receivers with Jennings coming back? At this point, only Spiller and maybe Cobb are no-brainers. Wo else should I use?

Thanks again man!

 
Jeff,

This'll be my first time in here this season, but it's important.

I win this week, I'm in the playoffs. I'm 2nd in the league in scoring, but I'm only 5-7 because I have the most points against by a wide margin - just awful luck this year.

TE and Defense are my issues - I'm stacked everywhere else.

I have Gates, Cincy, Cleveland, and Indy right now.

Available TEs:

Pitta

M Bennett

Dwayne Allen

Brandon Myers

Housler

Charles Clay

ETA: Scoring for TEs are 0.5 ppr and 1/15 rec yards

Defenses I'm looking at grabbing are:

Arizona

Green Bay

Buffalo (looking decent lately)

We do NOT get Special Teams scores, but we do get defensive scores. If the other team gets a pick six, it does NOT count against your defense. The XP, however, does. We're very heavily leaned to turnovers and sacks as opposed to points allowed. As in, it helps not to give up points, but scoring isn;t a huge component. TOs are 2, sacks are 1, TDs are 6.

As of now, I'm thinking of going with Myers and Cincinnati. What are your thoughts?

Also - if DMC is out, but Goodson isn't, how do you view Reece? As of now, he's behind Mathews, Morris, and Leshoure for me.

Jeff, if McFadden and Goodson are both out for week 13, do I use Marcel Reese as my flex (vs Cleve) or am I better off with Torrey Smith (vs Pitts)? Standard scoring, no PPR. Thanks!

Good luck this week. I have a team like that, too. I think I would go with Myers this week at TE. Dodds likes him vs Cleveland and he should be decent. At defense, the ones I like most this week are NYJ, Dallas, GB, and BAL. The three you own are all middle of the pack. If forced between those, I would go with CIN and hope Rivers throws some picks. Would choose GB vs MIN over all of them. Reece split time with Jeremy Stewart last week and I would have behind those other three this week, with or without DMC or Goodson.

That is a toss up. PIT held Smith in check a couple of weeks ago so I might lean toward Reece (slightly) even though I do not love him this week
 
Hi Jeff,

Last place in PRR league, but can still win some consolation $, beat up at RB, planning on dropping injured Parmele and Pierre Thomas, which of these 4-5 RB would be best for this week and going forward into the (ashamed face looking down in sadness) consolation playoffs...

Rashad Jennings

Knowshon Moreno

Shane Vereen

Chris Ivory

or is Michael Bush a descent option

Also have Jamal Charles and Reggie Bush, but this has been the worst year ever for my bench kicking ### and my starters laying an egg, hence the last place.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Jeff,

One last question for this week... touchdown heavy league (6/TD, 1/20 rush/rec, .5 ppr).

Need to start two of these...

Reese vs Cleve

JGordon @ Oak

MFloyd @ Cinci

Beanie @ Jets

Thanks for help!!

 
Jeff -

Thanks for the help. Need a win this week. Standard scoring except for performance bonuses.

My WR are a mess on an otherwise solid team. Need two from: Denario Alexander, Maclin, Williams, and Lloyd. Or I could pick up one of the following off waviers: Bowe, Hartline, Britt, Sanu, Givens, etc. Alexander is a lock, but the rest have underwhelmed for several weeks.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

 
Jeff,

Myles,Bennet,Keller,Celek......which of these do you like this week and going forward.

Moreno Or Reece this week?

Any Idea on when murray will be back?

PPR...need two of these: L.Moore,Harvin,Austin,Sproles,or Edelman.

Thanks

Sorry for your bad luck. Good luck this week as you try to salvage some points & money

I would go with Alexander and Maclin. With DeSean Jackson out for the year, Maclin should rise. I would like Bowe with Cassel at QB ... not with Quinn. Givens is intriguing and an option if desperate for a high risk, high reward guy. But like the other two better

Hi Jeff,

Danario Alexander or Torrey Smith?

Marcel Reece or James Starks? or should I pick up Daniel Thomas and go with him?

Panthers D over Browns and Cards?

I have to win and make up some points this week to make the playoffs so I appreciate the help.

I was born and raised in OKC, btw

Thanks, JeffQuick follow-up.

I might be overthinking this one, but I have plenty of options at RB. I'm starting Foster, and need to pick between Martin or Charles. I like JC's matchup better, but it's tough to sit a guy like Martin.

Thoughts?

Hey Jeff,

Would you play Kapernick over "Rivers or Palmer this week?

Carolina or New England?

Thanks

Jeff,

Cruising along this season, but I hit a speed bump last night with Brees. His subpar game has me behind the 8 ball in a big game against a tough team, and I think I have to go into high risk/high reward mode to try to grab a win. My league is standard scoring, no PPR and I need to start 1 RB, 1 WR, 2 flex from this group. Thanks.

ADP @ GB

JCharles vs Car

Reece vs Cleve

BMarshall vs Seat

Torrey Smith vs Pitts

DMoore vs Cleve

MFloyd vs Cinc

Harvin @ GB

Bowe vs Car

I had ADP, Charles, Marshall and TSmith in my lineup, but I'm wondering if Reece or Moore provide more upside than any of the above. Doubt I would bench ADP, Charles or Marshall. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Smith is the only one worth considering replacement ... but I do not like Bowe with Quinn and Palmer/Moore is not any better. I guess stay put unless you start Reece over Smith AND McFadden does not play, and neither does Goodson. Good luck
 
Hey Jeff

Standard PPR league

Need 2 players as flex start:

1. RB Greene vs Ariz

2. RB Powell vs Ariz

3. WR Gordon at Oakland (weather?)

4. D. Moore vs Clev (weather?)

Thanks

 
Jeff - thanks for the help this season. Playoffs start this week.

A couple of start/sit questions. Standard scoring except bonuses for long touchdowns.

(1) Need two WR out of Denario Alexander, Mike Williams, Josh Gordan, or Givens. Starting behind Marshall.

(2) Need two RB out of Foster, Martin, and Charles. Leaning Foster and Martin, but both let me down last week.

(3) Team D - NE, Houston, or NJ against Jville? Could also pick up Buffalo v. SL. Rolled with the Texans and the Pats all season, but I expect some points scored next weekend.

Thanks for the help.

 
Jeff,

PPR

How do you rank these this week: L.Moore,Givens,Sproles,Harvin,Austin

Kaepernick over 'Rivers and Palmer if he starts?

Another standard scoring....need three: Charles,Morris,Murray,Moreno, Reece

I would go with Gordon for sure. Of the others, Moore has highest ceiling but was benched for dropping passes last week. Powell most safe

Thanks for the help.

Quick follow-up. Meyers goose egg last night put some pressure on me in the first round of my big money league. Start 3 WR; standard scoring except ppr after 5 catches, and bonus for long TD's. I'm starting Brandon Marshall. I need high upside among my next two WR spots. Who do you like among Danario, Givens, Gordon, and Tampa Mike?

I'm actually leanving Givens and Gordon at this point, but wonder if that's too much risk/reward. Danario has been great, but I'm nervous of SD, and Rivers, on the road against Pitt. Mike Williams really has only one good game out of the last several. Somewhat inconsistent.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
