Coming into the week, I was projected as an underdog, so I have been planning to play Cedric Tillman, and Darnell Mooney (if he plays, obviously) in my two flex spots, as upside shots. But the team I'm going against had AJB and Worthy going, so projections have now flipped and I'm about a 60/40 favorite going into Sunday now. Do I pivot to a couple players with a safer floor, to avoid a potential 0, and give up the projection advantage?
Start two:
Cedric Tillman (love the matchup with the Bengals, but worry he may be Flacco's third option behind Jeudy and Njoku. Can 40 year old Flacco fuel three options the way Jameis was able to for a stretch last year?)
Darnell Mooney (ATL / TB games were both high scoring last season. If he plays, I think he has at least 5 targets and can beat his projection if he connects on one long TD)
Rashod Bateman (another high upside WR option along the same vein. Good game environment, big play potential. I don't expect Baltimore to rely as heavily on the pass though, so less likely to see volume)
Potential floor play pivots:
Rachaad White (same plus game environment as Mooney, and should see at least 8-10 rushes, and hopefully 3 targets. most projected touches of the group)
Zach Charbonnett (rumors of a potential closer split with KW9, and huge hype around the new running scheme. but I'd like to see the split before relying on Charb's. and historically he hasn't done well against SF)
Kaleb Johnson (hate the game environment and matchup. want to see the usage and give him a chance to earn more of the reps)
Ollie Gordon (but Achane is my RB1, and I would have to take him off the taxi squad and lose a roster spot for the rest of the year)
Hunter Renfrow (if he steps into the Thieleen / Coker role, he could see 5+ targets. don't know if I believe he can do anything with them though)
Zach Ertz, (TEP, but don't love the matchup and worry he's more of a low floor, low ceiling in this matchup, than a safe floor play)
Chig Okonkwo, (TEP with a good matchup against Denver, who gave up 95 receptions to TEs last year. If Chig pulls in 5 for even 30 yards, that's 10 points)
