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) - > you could prob look to drop SD defense. I would chase the Browns with Weeden out. Could get ugly. Jets are similarly bad

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 ..
So you think Aj ok even though the Texans stunk against the Jaguars last time they played.

 
Jeff, PPR

Would you bench Nelson for Holmes(Raiders). Woods,M. Jones,Baldwin.....was really hoping to have Harvin this week). Any deep sleeper Wr that might be on wire.

Or you think Nelson Ok this week

Thanks

Jeff, who should I start as my WR2?

M. Wallace

T.Y. Hilton

M. Colston

M. Floyd

Currently have Wallace in there now. Also, I have Z. Stacy as my flex.. would you start any of the WR above as oppose to Stacy?

Thanks you're the man!

 
Jeff -

Need a win this week to make the playoffs.

Roll with Gordon with a new QB, or sub in Desean at WR2 behind Thomas?

It's .5 ppr. Hard to sit Gordon, but I'm expecting a regression to mean at some point, and with a new QB, it seems like this week.

Thanks for the help this season.

 
Jeff,

My season is hanging on by a thread...

I need to start 4 of these in non PPR league...

MJD vs Hou

Rainey vs Buff

Stacy @ Ariz

VJax vs Buff

Cruz @ SD

VDavis vs Seat

Also, which defense you like better...Seat @ SF, or Balt vs Minn?

Thanks for advice!
love BAL defense this week

 
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? Love the Saints chances of having a great game and winning big

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.... I think vereen has more upside with a great matchup

Wide open to your THOUGHTS!!!

**Considering dropping Percy Harvin for Jacoby Jones or Doug Baldwin---Yes or No? not yet. Neither have much upside

**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!!!!!
Only other defense to target is NE vs Cleveland. If not, go with NO

yes. have to hope so. He is a top 12ish WR this week

M. Colston

M. Floyd

I think I would go with Wallace and Floyd. AZ is a very good run defense (2nd best in NFL) for Stacy

this is a very tough one. I think I would go with Jackson. He has been quiet of late and faces the 6th worst pass defense for WRs while the Patriots are 10th, allowing roughly 7 PPR points/game less than the Lions

 
Hi Jeff, 5 in a row and win and I'm in (with some help).

Foles or McKown

CJ2K or Montee Ball

Have a feeling about Ball over Johnson but don't want to get cute.

Thanks again man!

Foles is ranked high by all this week with the matchup against Detroit. The RBs, I think Johnson is the higher percentage move, but Ball's appeal moves higher if you think Denver jumps out to a large lead. I almost fear a letdown by Denver after beating KC last week. But you never know

Non-ppr. Any suggestions bud?

Do you see Todman or L. Green of any value for team in sig. Green is a fee agent....todmans waiver process.

Thanks
todman no, green yes. todman would be low rb2 if mjd out while green a top 10 te most weeks and gronk insurance for you

 
good luck this weekend, everyone.

A note on fantasy defenses this week: watch the weather reports. There could be some bad weather impacting games, making average fantasy defenses great plays and making good pass offenses poor plays

Jeff, I see that VJax is questionable/limited after Friday's practice. I wonder if that affects your thinking on putting him in the lineup. also, I wonder if that affects your thinking on Rainey, because if VJax is gimpy they may stack the box. You have any last thoughts?

I still like both unless/until ruled out. Rainey had a great game, then played two top run defense, now gets the Bills .... could be big

 
Hey Jeff -

Thanks again for the help this season.

Preparing for the semi-final next week. Few questions in a standard scoring league except bonus for TDs and ppr after 5 catches.

(1) Start 3 WR. At this point, I'm starting with Andre & Keenan Allen, and then picking among Cruz, Crabtree, Amendola for the last spot. Hartline is also available on waivers. I don't like Cruz's matchup, but Crabtree is a roll of the dice as he works his way back. Amendola is interesting with Gronk's injury. Does he become more involved this weekend by necessity?

(2) Team D - actually a big decision because of scoring. A good defensive performance can carry a week. I've been playing rent-a-defense all season. Holding Denver and St. Louis. Could grab Philly or Detroit, who have played well recently. Cleveland and Miami also available. Considering match-ups, who do you like this week?

(3) Continue to roll with Thomas at TE? I added Pitta last week who is an option.

Thanks again

 
Hi Jeff, well amazingly I've won 6 straight and got in! I now face the highest scoring team in league that's led by P. manning, D. Thomas and Moreno. Lots of Broncos!

Anyway, I'm set with Foles, Forte, Gordon and Desean Jackson, Graham, SF d and Haushka at kicker.

I need to decide on one/two more RBs, a WR and a flex which can be a WR or RB so three more starters total.

CJnoK, Leveon Bell, Montee Ball, Gerhart, Donald Brown and Daniel Thomas (need to play one and probably the other at flex)

Garson or Streater? Also have James Jones and Boykin but if Rodgers doesn't play then forget them.

My personal thoughts are to sit Chris Johnson for Montee Ball. Do I also take a risk and sit Bell for one of the other backs I've stashed?

Garson has done ZERO lately. Plug Streater in for him?

Thanks again Jeff!

Hi Jeff, in my other league, here are my dilemmas: we play team QB in this league so starter doesn't matter, Browns QB or Flacco or even whoever starts for Washigton?

Also, have McCoy and Gordon locked in. Need THREE from the following (standard scoring with 5 point 100 yard rush or receiving bonus): Spiller, Lamar Miller, Ivory, Starks, Garson, Nelson, Cordarryle Patterson.

Thoughts?

Thanks again!

I like Cruz over the others ...

I am picking up Detroit on defense ... but will be watching the weather

Thomas vs Pitta is close. I think i would go with Thomas since Welker is out

congrats on making it this far.

I would go with Johnson and Bell

and Garcon (Streater plays KC) hoping the QB change will help Garcon.

Comes down to Cameron vs Lacy vs Stacy for me. Lacy if healthy (which is a ? mark). Cameron if not

I do not like Flacco and would go with Cleveland .....

Spiller, Garcon and either Starks if Lacy is out or Patterson for upside (all have similar floor so shoot for moon)

OK, JThomas goes for me on Thursday. If MJD is active against the Bills on Sunday, who would you bench for him (if anybody)? How comfortable are you with Rainey against the 49ers?

 
I have terrible luck with my WR2. Which player do you suggest for this week?

M. Colston @ STL

T.Y. Hilton v. HOU

M. Wallace v. NE

Thank you Jeff

 
Jeff,

Standard yardage/ppr league with all TDs = 6 pts.

QB- Wilson or Ryan? Love Ryan's matchup to go off at home.

TE- Gonzales, Clay, or Walker? Like the Ryan/Gonzo connection agaist Washinton but if Walker is healthy he gets a TEs best friend in AZ.

K- Crosby, Tucker, Bailey or Henery?

Defense- Seattle, Philly or KC? Scoring for points against, 2 pts for turnovers and 1 for sacks

This is to get into the Championship Game.

Thanks,

Shawn

If healthy, I like MJD over Rainey. Rainey had a 80-yard run on his first carry last week and did little else in a much better matchup.

M. Colston @ STL

T.Y. Hilton v. HOU

M. Wallace v. NE

Thank you Jeff
Either Colston or Wallace. Colston has the better shot at a solid game (higher floor) while Wallace is hit or miss and higher ceiling. Hilton has had a few bad outings of late.

FBG has Ryan higher and I agree. At TE, I like Gonzo a little more than Clay, and both over Walker. Tucker at kicker. On defense, love Seattle versus the interception-prone Eli Manning.

Rivers

and Woodhead definitely

lean Gerhart if active and looking good to play and Thomas if not
Where do you see Cousins this week and next?
bottom third of league in fantasy points
Still like Gerhardt ....wondering if the injury risk very high

Trying to figure out what to do with ADP in a dynasty where I don't really need him but where he could help me win a championship. I just traded Moreno and a 3rd for Desean Jackson.

I have Newton and Manuel at QB.

Charles, McCoy, Peterson at RB with Bryce Brown, Christine Michael, and Lattimire as backups.

WR are Desean Jackson, Welker, Marshall, Blackmon, Harvin, Hopkins, Harry Douglas.

We also play a K (1), DL (2), LB (3), DB (2) ... My defense is above average.

I'm looking at trading ADP for an upgrade somewhere but not sure how much he is/isn't worth. Do I just add him to a WR trade to get a WR upgrade, or should I just hold on and use him til he is worthless. Seems like that may be the best option at this point.
