Thought the same about m.thomas after a couple down weeks. NO doesn't seem to want to use studs the last couple weeks.
I already have him in five lineups. There's a scenario where Ridley gets more work than we assume. But at Samuel's price, he only needs a few points to justify that price.
I'm willing to pay up for Hopkins, Thomas and Allen this week. I think Julio Jones might destroy GB, and he will be lesser owned because he burned owners last week.
For sure. He's cheaper than Ware was last week so I guess the question is - is there a difference between the situations between Ware stepping in last week and Samuels this week?jdoggydogg said:
Ellington's name is about the only thing I don't love in this post. He just feels like that 9 catch for 45 yards guy on a terrible team on the road. Dirt cheap, but I don't see the gpp upside myself.Some week 14 GPP thoughts:
- QB: I have plenty of tickets with the top guys like Brees, Ryan, and Rodgers. But this week has a lot of good, cheap, bad QBs who should do well. I'm starting Mullens, Keenum, and Allen on a few lineups. I think Mayfield is a good play as well.
- RB: I think Elliot is worth every penny, and I could argue he should be the most expensive RB over McCaffrey and Gurley this week. Tons of great, cheap RBs this week, including Adams, Samuels, Richard, and Drake. I am starting Ingram and Kamara in multiple lineups this week in what should be a big bounce back. Pairing Ingram with the Saints' D isn't a bad option.
- WR: Love Hopkins, Thomas, Thielen, Jones, and Allen for the high priced guys. But as is the case in most weeks, there are tons of great mid to lower tier options. I am all over Diggs, Ellington, Pettis, Reynolds, Landry, and Cooper.
- TE: I have Kittle in a couple lineups. But I play about 15-20 lineups every week, and I can't argue that you should pay up for most TEs. Way too inconsistent.
Love Dallas, New Orleans, Buffalo, Chargers, and Eagles.
Ellington isn't going to get 120 yards and a TD. But his floor and price make him very attractive in GPPs.
Isn't that what you want out of a gpp guy though - the possibility of 100/1 upside and 3-4x value? I get the targets are high, but his aDOT is a measly 3.3yds. I thought for FD plays we would rather have the guy that can go 3 for 110 with a TD in gpps.
That's 8, 6, and 7 pts. None of those would be 2x value @ $4900. I'm not seeing the appeal.
If you can show me the list of guys that are guaranteed to net two times their value, then I'm interested. I'm not praising his ceiling, I am guaranteeing his floor.
I just don't know what to do with all these backups that are getting more and more playing time with trades and injuries. Been hearing that Sutton will do something after the DT trade, but that hasn't happened. Not sure he will do it when he is the only thing on the O. I think I would rather have Pettis since he has done something in the last couple weeks, but overall, I think I would rather take stabs at the dirt cheap volume with the Pitts and SF RB backups and pay up at RB/WR. This is what I don't like about the FD pricing - feels like all the low tier WRs are always within 200 of each other. It's hard for me to want to take guys like Sutton in a gpp when there are WRs in the NO/TB game at the same price.
I meant only WR, and I didn't realize he got a TD last week, so thanks for that info. I might be biased, but it just seems like he was one of those guys that people pimp on the pods that I have tried a couple times and never seems to do much.
Is this for cash or gpp? I THINK the popular construction might be similar to last week - 2 stud RBS + somebody like Samuels. Throw in a cheap WR and go from there.Galileo said:
I do like Samuels. Just feels like Jackson could get a heavy workload vs. the terrible Cincy D.
Yep, I will third this sentiment. I almost like Wilson and Jackson more in cash too.
If I heard a pod right last week, I thought they said he hasn't been shadowing this year? I think it was in reference to playing Adams last week.
I think it would have to be more for gpp with the hope of the WRs all hitting. These RB studs offer a pretty secure floor, but there is too much risk with having all low end WRs for cash. If one of those studs is a bust and none of the risky WRs pan out, the cash lineup would be toast. I will likely go with something similar to what you are describing. Use one less stud and use the savings to try and find a safer WR or two or pay for a TE
We’re you really up against someone in your leagues playoffs that played Henry this week? Ouch, bad luck man...
He could have picked up Jaylen Samuels.AquaBliss said:
Doesn't surprise me. I'd favor Jackson as a TD guy over Samuels pretty easily this week.
Think they're talking about Jaylen Samuels. I did pull Moore from some of my lineups due to the Cam news though.
What news? Thought I just saw he didn't have an injury designation.
