Yeah, I'm working on 2 Thursday lineups, one assuming Ben plays and the other assuming he does not. If he plays I absolutely love Antonio to get rolling again almost immediately. If he doesn't, I don't think Antonio is rosterable at his salary.
My M.O. has been to build 1 Thursday-Monday lineup and 3 Sunday-Monday lineups, mostly just due to time. I typically just don't have the time to work-up 2 lineups by Thursday that I feel good about. Some weeks it's all I can do to make sure I can get my rosters right in my full-season leagues before kick-off on Thursday night.
I hear ya...it is easy this week though because Newton/Dalton/Rivers, Walker/Green, and that pack of WRs around 7700-8000 are easily interchangeable.
As a whole, the smaller the slate the lower the score needed to win. If you're using 1p guys anyway , play the smaller slate.
The Steelers OWN the Bengals. I cannot recall the exact stats provided on the ESPN screen shot but I remember this one ...
What's the point of comparing him to the #1 back? I simply said that he seems like good value at a low price with a likely high scoring matchup against GB. News is that he's been running with the 1st team so he should be in line for even more touches this week. In fact, I think he's a great compliment to having Freeman as your high cost back.
Freeman is $3k more expensive, Gurley $2k, and Forsett $800. I don't love Forsett and paring Hillman with Freeman or Gurley still leaves you flexibility to pursue quality elsewhere. I'm running Hillman out in a number of lineups so I'll learn one way or the other after Sunday.
I had looked at Hillman also as a GPP option, he's very risky but in the same range as guys like DMC and Woodhead.
Problem with CJ is that you are opening the door for David Johnson or Ellington to siphon off some of those stats.
I like it, very chalk for the most part and Washington over Crabtree looks like the better WR3 call now (or Floyd and possibly Marvin if GPP), but find myself torn between Fitz and Jeff at 7700 for WR2.
Yeah, Fitz seems like he is trending the wrong way, and he was the one I would swap out if I touched this lineup again. I figured I would give him one more week and hope for the best.
I think I will be fading fitz in most of my cash LU's. I will keep him in some, but mostly fading. This matchup makes floyd all the more attractive. Brown likely out, Haden most likely will be on Fitz too.
For me, not really. Mettenberger looked his way enough last week. Still thinking Gates will be out, and since they play at 1pm we will know for sure, and Green is 100 less than Walker.
Approx average %'s in cash games above in my contests. Forsett probably had the biggest delta between %'s. Freeman was probably the tighest. I didn't roster CJ.
What about your WRs? I assume Brown and Jeffery are popular... Diggs and Michael Floyd too...
Almost everything I see puts these guys in the 10-17% range:
Stevie Johnson was playing great football and being targeted heavily before he went down to the hammy. Against the Ravens D, not a bad pick at all.
