I know this topic is better suited for Cecil, but from your film watch, can you guys talk about Eric Decker? I assume many teams are in the fantasy playoffs due to his torrid streak of touchdowns. Now, he is barely a flex play. We know he has a hard time separating, but that didn't stop him earlier in the year. In short, is there any hope of a recovery this year?

Also, for teams hit by injuries who made it in playoffs, who are a couple backup RB's who if the starter went down, could swing a title? Pierce, Turbin, royster, ect.

Fellas! You guys helped me win my must-win game last week so I come to you again for some advice.

I need 3 WR's out of this bunch for this week..

Greg Jennings vs. DET

Steve Smith vs. ATL

Mike Williams vs. PHI

Danario Alexander vs. PIT

Golden Tate vs. ARI

many thanks in advance!

Dynasty Questions:

- McCoy's value w/ Bryce in the backfield?

- Kendall Hunter's value

Thanks!

 

[Cool in the pocket]

Need a TE for the first playoff round:

Daniels at NE

Pettigrew at GB

Olsen vs Atl

Think the first 2 have a decent chance at being high scoring. Have been riding Daniels most of the year, but he has disappointed recently. Pettigrew seems very inconsistent.

Thanks!!

 

[Hanz]

Which RB should I start

 

[Area51Inhabitant]

Pettigrew should get a ton of targets coming his way with all of the injuries and Young's departure. I prefer to gamble on the target hogs if given the choice imo.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

I'm in the playoffs and only have one semi-diffulct call at tight end.

TE Jermaine Gresham (dinged up)

or

TE Jeremichael Finley

 

[steveski]

Which RB should I start

Something tells me this question will go unanswered.

 

[Lrbutler]

All week I have listen to Cleveland Radio talk about the Browns future, and I was hoping to get a little national options on this. Are the Browns better off cleaning house at the end of the year? Or can Heckerd and Shurmur save their jobs by winning 2 or more of the last four games?

 

[Tackling Dummies]

For all of the coaches on the hot seat, there are (or should be) that many GMs as well. Assuming that 6-8 coaches are shown the door, who are or could be the next GMs that we should be expecting to see in front offices?

[mega_rob]

How do you see the GBY RB situation playing out for the rest of the season? Grabbed A. Green and thinking about starting him over R. Matthews this week. In a game I think GBY handles, do you see them pounding the ball like they did last week? I just can't trust Matthews vs PIT or to score the rest of the season. Thanks, keep up the great work.

Listen every week and I appreciate everyone at Football Guys and thanks for all the hard work you all put in to make it easy on us fantasy players but my question is I need to start two of these WRs this week in a non-PPR league: Vincent Jackson, Julio Jones, or Pierre Garçon?

 

[reprisal]

I'm in the playoffs on bye with a mess at receiver and a short bench. What does Percy Harvin's value look like next year? We only keep 2 players, but Harvin was top 5 prior to his ankle injury which shouldn't be an issue? I could keep him for $24 (of $200) or keep someone else from potentially doing by not dropping him.

For reference

Non-ppr 4pt passing TD, 3 & 5 pt bonuses @ 100 / 200 yards receiving or rushing

Line-up QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, WR/TE, TE, D/ST, K

$200 cap we keep 2 players per year, salary escalates $10 + (5 * # years kept) each year (so 10, 15, 20)

Tom Brady, NE $59

Adrian Peterson, Min $28

Doug Martin, TB $19

Jamaal Charles, KC $36

Mikel Leshoure, Det $1

Beanie Wells, Ari $10

Alex Green, GB $21

Percy Harvin, Min $14

Larry Fitzgerald, Ari $39

Dwayne Bowe, KC $12

Denarius Moore, Oak $4

Danario Alexander, SD $12

Mike Williams, TB $1

Golden Tate, Sea $7

Jason Witten, Dal TE $7

Broncos D/ST $0

Kicker Cut over bye

Guys, let me know if I am playing the right strategy for my playoff matchup.

Standard 12 team league. Start 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST, 1 K, starters in bold

QB: Ryan, Kaepernick

RB: ADP, DMC, Leshoure, Ben Tate, Bilal Powell

WR: VJax, Greg Jennings, Shorts

RB/WR: Cobb

TE: Graham

D/ST: Steelers

K; Zuerlein

I am rolling with DMC tonight as my RB2. For some reason, I am feeling it. And I'd much rather go down with my sky high upside RB1 draftee than be depressed all off-season that he blew up on my bench and I didn't have "it" to start him when it matters.

So, my plan of attack here is either of these:

1) If DMC performs and gets 10+ points - Flex Leshoure and choose between Jennings/Cobb at WR2, probably lean Jennings.

2) If DMC disappoints, sit Leshoure and roll Cobb at the flex for the upside, since the emergence of Bell concerns me, and he's marginally a flex at best without hitting paydirt. I know doubling up on WR's on the same team is generally a no-no, but it's Rodgers vs. the Lions secondary in a home primetime game with Jordy out. I'm not afraid to gamble/take risks. Rather lose taking them than lose being conservative with potential studs on the bench this week.

Thanks Sig, appreciate it in advance.

Thoughts on bears d for fantasy playoffs?

 

[geoff8695]

Every season we see a few surprise players emerge and lead teams to unexpected fantasy post-season success.

Yet weekly expert rankings late in the season often continue to weigh heavily early season production of proven players, while not putting enough stock into more recent production that clearly favors a late season surprise player.

i.e. T.Y. Hilton vs. Reggie Wayne, Arian Foster vs. Bryce Brown, Etc.

Most expert rankings will still have the proven stud well ahead of the late-season "bloomer" over each of the next few weeks, but is this at times backwards thinking?

Now in some instances, like the Hilton - Wayne comparison it's very difficult to say whether Hilton's success comes from game planning and defensive attention directed at Wayne, or is evidence of a young talent on the rise and an older guy battling father time and late season bumps and bruises, or could it simply be TD variance (Wayne actually has more yds over the last 4 weeks than Hilton but TDs have given Hilton more fantasy pts.)

Of course in other instances, injuries, preserving players for the NFL playoffs due to guaranteed playoff seeding, and similar factors may cause the proven stud to be used differently late in the season - or even benched altogether. Conversely, some young talents will get a higher workload just so teams that have nothing to play for in terms of the current season, can better evaluate their young skill position players going into the offseason.

Do you have any advice for owners facing tough lineup decisions over the next few weekends - how much do you lean on info like "who's hot over the last 4 weeks", specific matchups, SOS, expert rankings, etc.????
