Hi Jeff,

My roster and scoring system are in my sig. Need to decide between K Allen, C Shorts, and Michael Floyd for my WR3 and then for RB2 it's between Le'Veon Bell and Shane Vereen. Who would you start? Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

In a non-ppr league and have to win out to have a shot at getting in despite being second in points. Foles and Desean Jackson off hurts this week and it's possible Garson is banged up.

Need to play either Tolzien or Alex Smith (300 yards passing is a 5 point bonus)

Levion Bell has been a bit of a disappointment as my flex. Would you consider Ingram or Monte Ball or Donald Brown over him this week?

Need to start three WRs: Gordon, Garson (if healthy) and have to choose between James jones, Jarret Boykin, Cotchery and Rod Streater. I could also use one of those WRs at flex over Bell.

Any thoughts would really be appreciated!

TIA

If desperate, I would roll with all of the Packers and hope for a monster game. If not Bell, Tolzien, and Jones would be my choices

So I'm in a 12 team league and I'm 8-3 and pretty much wrapped up a top 8 spot.

Now we start QB, RB, WR, TE, 2 FLEX, K, D with only 4 bench spots.

We can earn weekly money and I'm currently up on three teams for 1st points (decent size payout) by 120 points.

My lineup this week.

Matt Ryan

Calvin

Stacy

B. Tate

K. Wright

Graham

Akers

Seahawks

My 4 bench spots, I really don't want to cut Roddy White, and obviously Mccoy, AJ Green and Nick Foles.

The trade-deadline is passed.

Seattle is on a bye,, do i roll with them and hope for the best or drop Ben Tate for any D on Saturday.

I don't want a good team to get them eventually.

D scoring... start with 20, once shutout is lost it's 10, once a team rushes for 100 yards it drops to 5, once a team passes for 150 it drops to 0.. we get 1 per sack, 1 per INT and 1 pt per 15 INT/FR return yards. 6tds etc

I would roll with the Seattle defense with the assumption is that Tate will outscore the defense you pick up off waivers. I am not a huge Tate fan and would drop him but you do not have any options at RB

Hi Jeff,

need your input on a roster move I debate. (Dynasty league, all info in signature)

I'll basically make the playoffs this year, a year earlier than my plan.

I need a win on week 12 to get in and in addition, I hold the 2nd round pick of this team... so I really want to win.

So, I think of promoting either Kendall Wright or Keenan Allen from my Practice squad for the last 3 games and the playoffs. IMO, both are upgrades over Denarius Moore.

Is it worth it to elevate one of them over Denarius Moore?

Should I wait until the playoffs or make the move now?

Note : Both these guys are automatic keepers if on my Practice squad, so they need to be significantly better than Moore to be elevated.

Also, should I still hold on to Ronnie Hillman?

Thanks a lot
Click to expand...
I would watch the practice/injury reports on moore. he has a bum shoulder. This is why Moore had a poor game last week. If out, they I would dump Hillman for a WR since I see Wright and Allen as future top 20 wrs. What WRs are available on the waiver wire? What are implications of promoting one of WRs?

Vereen for sure. The WRs come down to Floyd vs Shorts. I try not to chase points, but would go with Floyd after the big game last week

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply.

We can stash up to 7 players for 2 years on our Practice Squad and they are protected automatically. We have a lot of keepers but if I promote KWright, I then cannot protect one of my bench guys. Lots of longshots as you can see in signature.

Our waiver wire is bad for WR, especially at this point. Also, we only have 2 periods of waivers, Wednesday and Thursday and Trade deadline has passed.

Ted Ginn, Nate Washington, Leonard Hankerson, Jarius Wright, Dexter McCluster, Jermaine Kearse.

So, Would I be better dropping GJennings or RHillman? Any hope for a RHillman breakout this year or next year?

thanks again

If I needed a win, I would promote Wright. Of the two Hillman is the one I would drop.

 
Must win spot right here and Spiller is on bye.

Non-ppr: RB's are Bell - Lamar Miller - Pierce. Can I get some help on someone to add?

Hunter - reece - starks - helu - brandon jacobs - mcgahee - tolbert - bilal - cunningham. Not sure what to do here.

Thanks.

bell for sure and ogbonnaya (if available) over miller.

 
Here we go week 12...PPR already played 3 Thursday night and my Brees/Graham and my Saints DEF hot me over 110 pts!!!

This is what I have left to decide

WRs (3)

Welker @ NE

Nelson v MIN

Randle v DAL

Dobson v DEN

RBs (2)

Forte @ STL

Lacy v MIN

Stacy v CHI

A Morris v SF

S Vereen v DEN

FLEX ( RB or WR )

Due to 3 of my top WRs on bye this week leaning towards a RB to take the FLEX spot......

Thinking Stacy over Morris because of match ups.....or go with Morris bc of his usual high # of touches....then there is Vereen in a busy backfield but could be big in PPR.......THOUGHTS????

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

JEFF, PPR

You still holding Dunbar and Johnson. in sig

I Guess only other question is should I roster a bu qb? Brees has some tough matchups, but you can't bench him.

Thanks

Hi Jeff, still alive and one game out of playoffs!

Here are my quandaries this week:

QB: Foles, McKown or Alex smith

RB: Leveon Bell or Montee Ball

WR: pick one please, James jones, Jarret Boykin, Garson or Tavon Austin

I could also play one of the above WRs in place of Bell or Ball as they are really in my flex.

Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!

Hello Jeff, PPR Team in sig

Need the best out of these guys: I have to fill four spots.

Wright or K. Allen

Moreno,P. Thomas,FJax,Lacy.

Thanks

Jeff, PPR. 2rb,3wrs,1flex

Also, Happy Thanksgiving! :cool:

Rivers or Luck this week?

Looking to fill 6 spots with players below:

Nelson,Green,K. Allen,Harvin,..................need three I guess or Four depending on the Rb's listed

P. Thomas,Woodhead,Vareen,Fjax.......need two or can play three. Course I'm hoping holding Vareen and Harvin all this time pay's off

Thanks

Foles for sure, Ball for sure (if Moreno out). I think I would go with Garcon. Both GB WRs should have decent games vs Detroit. Hard to pick right one. Comes down to Jones (I picked) vs Garcon. I think Wash rebounds after bad showing MON night.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Jeff!

I did not start JORDY NELSON....still to scared without Rodgers

So, I need another FLEX option other than Jordy Nelson

FLEX --- WR / RB / TE

Looks like its between HARVIN, STACY, VEREEN or CAMERON

HARVIN - Yet to prove himself

J CAMERON - Yet to return to his old reliable self

VEREEN - Big PPR player, can he score, is the backfield too full?

STACY - If cleared to go is he the best option since he faces SF on their turf?

I am also worried about the Panthers v TB.....The Bucs have been tough----You don't trust the Saints yet?

Also, I know that RIVERS took off and earned twice the total points that BREES did but with 2 of the key secondary players on suspension you don't give BREES the edge?

The Cincy DEF is no easy task I know GENO is gone but they are still solid......

Just curious about how you arrived with your picks......THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Pick two.

Flex: Two of the RB's from above and Keenan Allen.

And a TE: Fleener or Cameron.

Thanks a lot!

 
Hey Jeff - couple of questions, different leagues.

(1) Josh Gordon or DeSean at WR2

(2). Zona D or Jets D?

(3) Need 3 - Andre Johnson, Cruz, Keenan Allen and Amendola.

Thanks

 
JEFF ....PPR HOPING YOU ARE WELL?

BIG WEEK STARTING PLAYOFFS AND I KNOW IT'S EARLY FOR WEEK 14, BUT CAN YOU LOOK AT MY SIG AND TELL ME WHAT CHANGES YOU MIGHT MAKE:

I COULD PROBABLY DROP A KICKER OR D NOW, BUT OUR PLAYOFFS GO WEEKS 14-16

THANKS....NOT SURE MUCH AVAILABLE ATTHIS POINT ANY d YOU WOULD LOOK FOR(STILL LIKE PANTHERS EXCEPT FOR MATCHUP MAYBE)

FJAX OR THOMAS

THEN I HAVE TO BENCH ONE OF THE WR'S.

THANKS

FJAX OR THOMAS -> FJax with Thomas facing Carolina

THEN I HAVE TO BENCH ONE OF THE WR'S.

THANKS

all four wrs have great matchups but I would sit Allen ..

 
Jeff,

Would you still play one ot the bears qb over Rivers and Luck this week? Those two hurting me on one team.

Steelers or Raiders, or Bills this week?

Thanks

Hey jeff

PPR----

QB - 1

Brees v CAR

Rivers v NYG

RB - 2

Forte v DAL

Lacy v ATL

Stacy @ ARI

Morris v KC

Vereen v CLE

WR - 3

DJax v DET

JNelson v ATL (Only if Rodgers is back- right?)

Welker v TEN (Read something about him not playing?)

Bowe @ WAS

Randle @ SD

Burleson @ PHI

Edelman v CLE

Harvin @ SF (I should just drop this guy)

TE - 1

JGraham v CAR ( STARTING )

JCameron @ NE

DEF - 1

SAINTS v CAR or PANTHERS @ SAINTS --- Seriously these are my options

**The SAINTS have to bounce back at home, right, lol?

FLEX - 1 (WR/ TE/ RB)

Considering either Vereen, Edelman or Stacy (he faces another tough D though this week)

I like one of the 2 Pats in a PPR situation....

Wide open to your THOUGHTS!!!

**Considering dropping Percy Harvin for Jacoby Jones or Doug Baldwin---Yes or No?

**If not for Jones or Baldwin can you recommend a better Defensive option ( Maybe the Chargers v NYG) for me this week?

THANKS SO MUCH for all of the advice PLAYOFF BOUND!!!!!

Haush or Akers......Im thinking Detroit and Philly kicking extra points, and Seattle more likely to bog down at 49ers/
