Like I said, they given up on this season. With that said, I'm wholly on board with seeing if Peterman can play before spending an early round pick on a qb.
Thanks for the feedback. I usually use all my lineups in a GPP, 50/50, and 100 man contest. Fitzpatrick is just cheap with a good matchup and I think getting Evans back helps too. Gin fit from a price standpoint and I like the matchup.
I like Gurley, but only because of the volume. I also like Kupp, as a Rams WR. The matchup suggests McKinnon is in play. I also think both Vikings WR have done enough to be considered too. Goff might be a sneaky contrarian play this week. Honestly, in my initial research I overlooked this game and need to consider it more.
I narrowed my RB core to Gurley, Hunt, Ingram, Gordon, Kamara, Howard, McKinnon, and Burkhead. I plan to use Gordon about 40% and Hunt about 20%. Those will be the two RBs I have the most exposure too this week.
Like I posted above, and you said, I think this game will go low owned and features 2 great Os so we should at least dive deeper with it. IF what you posted in the bolded is true, that mean Keenum should be considered as well (if his WRs are to be looked at and his pass catching RB).
I have the non-bolded written down as well and have Ajayi and Thompson on my list as well as White/Lewis. Gordon is probably the one that will burn me this week, but I just can't seem to pull the trigger. Howard catches no passes, seems to be very script dependent, and I would think that Det could take the lead on them fairly quickly.
Broncos D has struggled and everyone has been looking for that first break out game from Mixon. I am not doubting the talent of him, but the talent around him is not good. AJ is a pro bowl WR, but most of the other offensive players are just not that good. The O-line is awful and The Red Rifle is just average. In my opinion, best case, Mixon produces 90 total yards and 1-TD. But, more realistically, I think he goes for 60 total yards and no TD. Just some thoughts from a sad Bengals fan.
The more I look into it. I will have a Goff and Keenum lineups. Stacking them with a few key players in the game.
I am starting to wonder if the play was to do Thurs-Mon cash this week to get Bell in the mix and Coleman on the cheap with Freeman out.
I will fully admit that part of my musings and rankings are about me getting burnt by some of these guys over and over. Howard killed me last week, and he is in a worse spot this week and I am just about done with Gordon, Fournette, McCoy, and Hunt. That doesn't leave me with a whole lot.
I am still not sure what I am doing with it, but the game does draw my eye a tad. Like I said, these 2 PKs are very much in play too if nothing else and they might actually be in 100% of my LUs. What I was leaning towards this morning is maybe mixing this game in with the higher owned games. So if I have a Brady or Smith stack, maybe sprinkle in McKinnon or Watkins. If I have Hunt, Kamara, Kelce in a LU, maybe go with a Keenum-Diggs stack.
I usually play the Thu-Mon slat with a couple of lineups. I plan to use several Thu guys and Coleman, Monday night.
I know what you mean. I have trouble playing guys that have killed me in the past...yeah, I am talking about you Mr. Russell Wilson! Gordon has made that list for me and I think he is in a prime spot this week. I do not like Howard on the same level and may even re-consider on him completely before Sunday.I will fully admit that part of my musings and rankings are about me getting burnt by some of these guys over and over.

It does open up a ton. I might have to throw one LU in there. I put this in as a marker as a build that I liked:
I think the only one I really disagree on is Fournette. That Cleveland rush D is no joke, and have been solid all year.
I hear you. I was going with the theory that Jax will place this game on Fournette's large shoulders to win.
Nice! I had a lineup with Bell. Was going to put AB inone lineup but opted not to. I have to hope for Hunt to have a major game as most people that rostered AB likely didnt roster Hunt4 of mine had all three
Also have GPP sitting at 127-Ben/Bell/DMurray/AB/RMath/Boswell with Crowder/Rudolph and Jax D left
I have Cole and MLewis in several GPP LUs, but I'm a Jags homer so take that into account.
He's always in play as he is on the field for virtually every offensive snap, he's not going to get volume but he will several targets and most of them will be red zone targets.
I am curious what your LUs are around them that you went that low on WR. He's not nearly that low, but I keep landing on Crowder (5.4)
I like Burkhead this week and I also like Kroft. Patriot RBs always make me nervous and if the Broncos pressure Andy it could be a long day, but I do like both plays.
With something like this I would also bring it back with an Eli-Shepard-Kelce stack in another lineup too.
I like that.
They vulture off each other a bit, but on a team that can put up 40+ just about any week, IMO they all could be looked at in gpps ( if Gilleslee sits again), especially with Hogan out and Amendola looking hobbled. They are then down to Cooks, Gronk, and Rbs. Here is how I look at them (not sure if this is true): Burkhead has been getting more and more work in both phases, so that is why he has been talked about more, and is probably safer for a cheap cash option. Oddly, D.Lewis hasn't been getting receiving targets, so he seems to be more of the Gilleslee back right now, and White is still more the 3rd down/pass catcher. So I think Burkhead can be used no matter how you think the game goes. IF you think the Pats can jump up huge and the Raiders aren't making it a back and forth game, Lewis seems to be an option. IF you think it's going to be a back and forth game, White probably becomes more of an option.
@Galileo - this is for cash, right?
Yes...cash. Good call on kicker. I am in CLE...calling for wind (23 mph with gusts up to 60 mph) and 2-4" of lake effect snow on Sunday. I hadn't checked any weather yet. I suspect the snow will mainly be east of the city in the snow belt. I doubt the snow will be significant downtown, but that wind can wreck havoc. I am only going to play one LU, and I think I am actually leaning towards the Gabbert one with the Jax D.
If that's the case, I would also look into Hopkins. No Fuller, and I think the assumption is that Peterson will take out Hopkins.
Crowder and sterling Shepard seem to be in a good chunk of my lineups. Sometimes together and sometimes not. But for their combined price, I like what I can do other places.
