I'm pivoting away from TEN and picking up CLE. Way too many question marks with all of the inuries on both sides of the ball and HOU's recent fiestiness.

Good move. Tennessee is a horrible option

Seriously, this Tannehill situation is really throwing a wrench into things, leaving me to look to pivot away like most others
I had picked up DEN vs LAR as an extra hedge, though now also considering NO, CLE and JAX.

Nice pick, me.

I think the risk of Willis turnovers and short fields for Houston was too much for me. He’s not good.

McSorley is awful. I am debating benching Hopkins for Godwin. TB D will be gold this week.

Also picked up TEN as a speculative add for this week. I would have been tempted to stay with my ace DST and roll out the Cowboys against Hurts and hope for a big play. With Minshew in, this is now looking like a no-brainer. However, I am surprised by how many rankings still have the Titans as a better play than Dallas.
The industry rankings let me down with Jacksonville. Up there, but a distant third to both Tennessee and Dallas. I considered them, but should have given them a lot more thought. I suppose it depends on how your league point system rewards big plays vs. points and yardage allowed. However, that would have been a safe floor matchup that turned out great in my league's points column.

Finish is where it begins for recent Cleveland Browns defensive improvements
Browns defense has turned takeaways into wins; Clowney out, Johnson, Chubb, Myles update; York struggles, more
Browns defense: Man vs zone coverage numbers might surprise you
Saints rule out Chris Olave, put Jarvis Landry on IR

I rostered TEN everywhere and dropped them in lieu of Jags/Browns in my 4 remaining leagues. Wish I went 3/4 but I split it 2/2 to hedge a bit lol

Have PHI now, but can pivot to Browns or Denver. Thoughts?

The masses will tell you to start KC. The only worry is will DEN respond to the coaching change and will it be addition by subtraction. That being said I would roll w/ KC personally.

Top 8 from Subvert a Down:
Think the former is ESPN standard scoring, no clue the basis of the scoring projections for the latter.
IME the ECR is a good general guide to detect outliers in your own projections, but it's a losing strategy when relied upon too much. It's much more about conformity amongst peers (for the rankers) than actual useful insight that will help FF managers.

Went TB last week, Dropped TB for JAX. Just dropped JAX for LAC. Baker still a turnover machine.

Have the Giants in one league (just turnovers, sacks, TDs count) and have to choose between Giants or Chargers in another (points against and yards added). In the first league my opponent is playing the Chargers against me. Glad the Giants have everything to play for. If Foles repeats what he did last week its a no brainer in the second league. Wish we had one or two more games on Baker with the Rams to evaluate how they might do. They definitely are playing much better and if they decide to just run on the Chargers there may not be a big chance for sacks, turnovers.

Somewhat similar to OC above, Giants & Chargers are available, but currently have Jags D. Should I hold or jump ship?
Rams will prob play conservative ball and try to run it; I think the Eagles D is in a smash spot at home against the Saints. Dalton is a turnover machine on the road

Have the jags right now, Houston has allowed some big numbers to opposing defenses like Cleveland a few weeks back
Bolts are available

Kyle Allen was the QB at that time for Houston. He seemed to be way worse than the current one such that he only lasted two weeks as starter.
Jags defense is good though. Considered them but went with Giants.

Ravens are also on the waiver wire in my league, someone released them, short bench league
Atlanta is available but I see that more like 30-20 even with a no name QB for Arizona, maybe I'm off on that

The Ravens are not sexy but they have scored around 8-9-10 and even a 14 in the last 3-4 weeks, that's pretty solid.
Yeah it would be nice to roll Jax out there and crush the Texans who should be trying to get that No 1 pick, only .5 game lead Tanking with 2 weeks left
Would be awful if Houston had this bad of a run and then find themselves at No 2 or No 3 and unable to get the QB they truly covet.
That said, JAX knows no matter the outcome, all roads lead to Tennessee Showdown next week.
JAX can lose this game and it doesn't matter, that's not a good situation for a road defense.
Feels like the Ravens have a lot riding today and won't know about Cinci before their MNF game, that should be big motivation vs the Steelers today
