Week 02 2022 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

You drafted him earlier than both
Cooks ADP was ahead of AJD IIRC.
:oldunsure:
Seriously?

Well, it's only 0.5 PPR so still Dillon.

Home v Chi>>>on the road in Denver
Fantasy sharks shows then 53/54 right now, but at the time I was drafting Cooks consistently went ahead of Dillon.

Maybe a tomato/tomahto kinda thing. Probably a lineup coin flip, too. I like them both. :shrug:
Cooks got 12 targets, he's a consistent target machine and consistently underrated.

But it's a lesser offense on the road. Dillon is a part of every facet of the game, I still think the Bears are a lesser team and the Packers defense will likely stifle them most of the day giving short fields and lots of opportunities for the Pack offense. I could be wrong but I can't bet against the Pack at home after a week one road loss.
 
Full PPR. Start 3 WR, 2 RB and 1 Flex

Locked in starters
RB1 - Nick Chubb - Browns home vs Jets
RB2 - AJ Dillon - Packers home vs Bears
WR1 - Cooper Kupp - Rams home vs Cardinals
WR2 - Courtland Sutton - Broncos home vs Texans

Need one more WR and a Flex from this list
RB - Chase Edmonds, Dolphins at Ravens - One OT placed on IR, the other OT is Questionable for Snday
RB - Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots at Steelers - Should get more touches with Ty Montgomery on IR
RB - Tony Pollard, Cowboys home vs Bengals - No Dak, porous O-line
WR - CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys home vs Bengals - No Dak, porous O-line, no other WR to draw coverage
WR - Allen Robinson, Rams home vs Cardinals
WR - Chris Olave, Saints home vs Buccs - lots of Questionable players for both teams
WR - Jahan Dotson, Commanders at Lions

Also, these are on the WW at the moment (we only roster 14 players, including both DST and K, if you're wondering how these guys could be on the WW - so I would have to cut somebody from the above list to pick up one of these guys)
WR - Tyler Boyd, Bengals at Cowboys
WR - Jakobi Meyers, Patriots at Steelers
WR - Sterling Shepard, Giants home vs Panthers
Okay, no Rhamondre, no Olave, no Jakobi, no Shepard. You have better options.

No Pollard either for the same reason (I talk about him at length up thread).

Your receivers come down to CeeDee, A.Robinson, Dotson & Boyd.

Cooper Rush wasn't terrible in his lone start last year, bit of a gunslinger that game. Force fed Amari too. But Minnesota was a terrible defense, Cincinnati is not. If you want to count on the Dallas defense forcing 5 turnovers then consider Lamb, otherwise I'd pass.

Maybe Dotson? Great matchup, great first game...only 5 targets, which was a distant fourth behind McLaurin (11), Samuel (8) & Thomas (5). Big risk here but we saw there could be a big payoff.

Am I reading this correctly? Did the Bengals run 100 plays last week? Wow, that seems like an outlier but, wow. Okay, Tee Higgins left with 8:15 to go in the 2nd. It's not much to go on but Boyd had two targets before and five after that point. So, maybe wait to see Tee's status first and then consider if 100 plays is a realistic expectation. FWIW I found a stat that says the Ravens led the league last season with an average of just under 70 plays/game.

A.Robinson. Allen Robinson. A.Rob. Big Al. Hanging out, not getting targeted. WTF Al? Some teams I fade until they prove it (e.g. all Pats, most Steelers) and some teams I give a mulligan. This week I'm giving the Rams a mulligan. The Bills are going to make a lot of teams look stupid and, while I am buying into the notion (just a little) that A.Rob may not be the player we all kinda thought he was, I am willing to give him one more week, against a vulnerable opponent behind, what I think will be an angry Aaron Donald giving short fields all day.

All your WR options carry significant risk so, as always go with your gut, I go with:

A.Rob>Lamb>Dotson>Boyd*

*If Higgins is out it's a coin toss between him and A.Rob.

For your flex, it comes down to where Edmonds fits in among these options and your personal tolerance for risk.

If you want a safe 10-13 opportunities with a shot at a goal line TD then consider bringing Rhamondre off the scrap heap here. I am super down on the Pats, but at some point they have value. But remember Ty only got 2 rush & 4 targets. Harris and Montgomery also both out snapped Rhamondre (22 & 21 to 14) who was only on the field 25% of the time. There is no guarantee Rhamondre will benefit from Ty's absence. The Pats miss McDaniels, a lot IMO.

Edmonds is probably in the 14-17 opportunity range and will get 4-6 targets in there, but he is unlikely to see a lot of goal line work, if any. But he is the lead back with 38 snaps last week (63%). Mostert was second with 25 (42%). Edmonds had 16 opportunities to Mostert's 6. He seems like a stable choice with some big play upside.

I think your real choice comes down to Edmonds & Lamb (depending on Tee's status of course).

I could see flip-flopping a lot on this choice this week.

Right now I think I land on:
Edmonds>Lamb
Scholarly analysis as always. Thanks!
:grad:

Here's another option to consider - Michael Pittman is Out

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) has been downgraded to Out for tomorrow.

Do I pick up Parris Campbell and start him over one of these guys?

Here's another option to consider - Michael Pittman is Out

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) has been downgraded to Out for tomorrow.

Do I pick up Parris Campbell and start him over one of these guys?
Okay, I'll unpack just a little bit.

Ryan threw the ball 50 times last week. Parris Campbell was out targeted by Pittman, of course, with 13, Nyheim Hines, sure that's okay, with 6, 3rd year UDFA TE Kylen Granson (7) and 4th year UDFA WR Ashton Kutcher (6).

Hard pass
 
Standard scoring, with 1 point per first down. Trying to replace Pittman. Options are Jacobi Meyers, Greg Dortch, Parris Campbell, Russell Gage, or Donovan Peoples-Jones. Pick one,
 
Half-PPR 1QB 2RB 3WR 1TE 1FLEX 1K 1D/ST

Sixteen-team league.

Ashton Dulin or Parris Campbell at flex? Keep in mind I have Michael Gallup on the IR and Kadarius Toney in addition to Kendrick Bourne and Raheem Mostert, all of whom seem unstartable.

Yes, I drafted Kadarius Toney and have to start one of those guys. Already.

Numbers say Campbell on draft pedigree and familiarity, my gut might tell me Dulin based on camp raves and almost touchdown last game.

No sarcasm here, I would flip a coin.

@Chaka probably has a better answer for this one.

I'm off the Pats until further notice. I have spoken about it extensively in these threads. Just shot down Campbell above. Gonna pass on Gage too because it really looks like a committee over there after Evans and my Bucs play this week is Julio (I'm not alone in that one).

That leaves Dortch, I don't know why his name makes me want to laugh but it does, and DPJ. They both had interesting, high volume games and it is difficult to know what to expect from either again this week. DPJ has more of a track record, but that record includes disappearing for long stretches. OTOH Dortch has only been available for 7 games his first two seasons, not sure if that is because of injury or not being good enough to make the game day roster.

It's a coin flip, I honestly can't make a compelling argument for either but I would start either over the rest of them.

Go with your gut. Gun to my head:

DPJ>Dortch and as I typed that I immediately regretted it. Pretty sure the same would happen if I went Dortch>DPJ
 
With Pittman out, JRob or Hines? 0.5 PPR. Already starting JT
This is an interesting call.

For all of Reich's talk about Hines being heavily involved in the offense, being on the field at the same time as Taylor and how he would draft Hines in magic football Hines was only on the field for 28% of Indy's snaps last week (26 plays). He turned that into a salvageable 6 reception, 50 yard performance (3 rush for 4 yards) but, short of breaking off the entirely unpredictable big play TD, it might represent his expected norm.

Robinson only got four more opportunities but he was on the field 49% of the time (34 snaps). With Pittman and Shaq Leonard out this is a very winnable game for the Jags, on paper it's far more likely than the upset the pulled off to end last season. Although that game proves you can't predict anything in the NFL.

Robinson>Hines

I kinda like DPJ. He delivered on my post-hype sleeper expectations last week. My concern here is the Jets not scoring enough to force the Browns to throw.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofff.

I wish I could help here and I will try but I don't think any of these guys is more startable than any of the others. You're hoping to catch lightning in a bottle in an aluminum can factory on a sunny day...in Death Valley.

I like Toney for draft pedigree, the, all-to-brief, flashes from last year and hopefully for pride after all the talk this week. But...seven snaps can't be ignored.

I did not see any reports this off season from Indy so I have no idea about Dulin, if you think you know something then you are a better resource than me.

Paris Campbell did come up small but he was on the field more than any pass catcher other than Pittman (77%). So he is the best option for potential opportunity.

Sorry man but I can't put my stamp on any of these guys. Forced to choose, I go with the guy I would like to root for most and that's Toney.

Quite fair. Good process, too, and I don't say that sarcastically. I have been shoving Toney in and out of the lineup, but it seems like Daboll only wants to shove him up his own you-know-what, so I think I'll be choosing from one of the others.

Have you considered seppuku?
 
Yeah, he’s on the orphan team I adopted in the 16-team league.

I has disappoint.

It's still wicked early, and nobody said Carter was a bad back. It was a weird 60-45 snap share split last game (Carter at 60) which sounds wrong, but they lined up in the backfield together enough to make it that way.

J. Taylor didn't get his full bearings until Week Eleven or so his rookie year. He outperformed Breece from the jump at first glance, but look at Weeks 9, 10, 11 in this list. That's just awful. These things take time.

Oh yeah - I’ve declined several lowball offers. Everyone negging him while trying to buy low.

I keep responding, “if he’s that terrible, why do you want to acquire him?”

That generally ends negotiations.
 
RB2...

Chase Edmonds on the road @Baltimore
Damien Harris on the road @Pittsburgh
Jeff Wilson home vs Seattle
Khalil Herbert...not ready to roll him out yet but I feel it building

I have hope for Harris this week but understand why I might be alone. Wilson is an easy plug n play this week, Chase would be interesting but tough to start him vs the Ravens although Carter produced 100 yds last week for the Jets. Miami is down a RT and also has a gimpy LT at the moment.
 
M.Pittman now out,need a replacement...FFPC scoring:

D.Singletary vs Tenn
D.Harris @ Pitt
C.Claypool vs NE
R.Anderson @ NYG

I don't like to derail my own thread but you both have me wondering if I should offer James Robinson to the Etienne owner for Hall. Ultimately feels like a push and if someone asked me WDIS: J.Rob or Hall it would probably change every week.

I have been banging the drum for Wilson this week. Not because o think he is going to have a big game, I don't think anyone in his tier (which includes guys like Harris & Edmonds) is going to have a big game. They're all coin flip options, for the most part.

For me it's about assessing risk, not shooting for the high floor, rather which player is in the best position to approach their ceiling. IMO Wilson is that guy. I have talked him to death in here. I believe is Shanahan's guy while Mitchell is out (and while he's healthy) and Shanahan feeds his lead back.

Now I worry that I have been pumping up Wilson so much that I may be missing something. I almost want to hedge my bet against being wrong, but that isn't what this thread is about.

I am down on the Pats, which is well documented, but I like Harris a little more than Rhamondre ATM because, despite the common refrain in the FF community, I think the Patriots like Harris a little more too. It has played out that way in the field when both are healthy too.

I still like Edmonds a little more than Harris though because I think his field time is more guaranteed than either Pats back. He was in the field for 63% on their snaps (38). Harris paced the NE backs with 39% (22). Wilson got 59% (40) and he didn't see the field until 8:43 of the second.

Wilson>Edmonds>Harris
 
Hurts over Tua

Swift (assuming playing), Mixon, and AJ Brown IN as RB1, RB2, WR1.

Have to trust Lamb as WR2, we know he's gotta do way better than week 1 if he gets anywhere remotely close to 11 targets again.

The only question is Flex:
I'm assuming Aaron Jones.
But Etienne or J Robinson are options, or I could easily see Bateman, Elijah Moore, Garrett Wilson, Woods, or even Kyle Philips having big games. But I feel like Aaron Jones has to be the play, right?
 
I think the Patriots like Harris a little more too.

I fully agree with this, and I have nothing in the fight other than having traded Harris away, somewhat mistakenly, for second and third round rookie picks. Not enough. Confirmation bias should have me saying he's not that good and that Belichick wants Stevenson. I don't see that.
 
I don't like to derail my own thread but you both have me wondering if I should offer James Robinson to the Etienne owner for Hall.

If I were him I'd take the two lotto tickets and hold Etienne and Breece Hall, betting on talent rising to the top in the second half of the year. That would be my response to your offer.

Yeah, I'm not going to talk you off that ledge.

When you bet against the field, the field usually wins and there are some guys I could probably make a compelling argument for (Jags backs, Bateman, maybe Moore) but I think the GB offense runs through the backfield for the foreseeable future.

Jones>>>the field

Just offered him Robinson for Gabe Davis, who is on his bench this week in favor of Hall.

ETA: I wouldn't accept that trade if I were him, but I'm not him.
 
Ok @Chaka (and anyone else)

Assuming we have no update on Gabe Davis tomorrow before the early games, should I:

1. Start Davis, and throw caution to the wind (heavy favorite, opponent already had 4 players go, QB, WR, Kelce & Bosa, all underachieved)

2. Wait until MNF, and pick up Phillips or Crowder

3. Play it safe and start R. Stevenson at flex over Davis.

I bow to your omnipresent omniscience. :tebow:

I have Robinson and Etienne and I am actually shopping Robinson just because I'm hoping he looks more appealing than he should right now. But I would not trade him for Gabe Davis. However, we are QRRWWFKD. So RB >>> WR.
 
Think Wilson here at home as a huge favorite...Edmonds second, especially in a PPR format- dolphins will need him. Harris is just ok- Herbert is not recommended any given week yet.

You have some time, I would wait on info about Davis ATM, and if it remains the same I would roll with him. If he's a late scratch, Crowder is a fine, probably safe option, Phillips is very intriguing, particularly in PPR. Is KJ Osborn available?

Point being, you have some options.
 
I don't like to derail my own thread but you both have me wondering if I should offer James Robinson to the Etienne owner for Hall.

If I were him I'd take the two lotto tickets and hold Etienne and Breece Hall, betting on talent rising to the top in the second half of the year. That would be my response to your offer.
Just offered him Robinson for Gabe Davis, who is on his bench this week in favor of Hall.

ETA: I wouldn't accept that trade if I were him, but I'm not him.
I have Robinson and Etienne and I am actually shopping Robinson just because I'm hoping he looks more appealing than he should right now. But I would not trade him for Gabe Davis. However, we are QRRWWFKD. So RB >>> WR.
I did trade Robinson for Gabe Davis.

Felt pretty solid week 1. Today it’s not as awesome a feeling.
 
Ok @Chaka (and anyone else)

Assuming we have no update on Gabe Davis tomorrow before the early games, should I:

1. Start Davis, and throw caution to the wind (heavy favorite, opponent already had 4 players go, QB, WR, Kelce & Bosa, all underachieved)

2. Wait until MNF, and pick up Phillips or Crowder

3. Play it safe and start R. Stevenson at flex over Davis.

I bow to your omnipresent omniscience.

Osborn is not.

So you have Phillips / Crowder > Stevenson?

@Chaka - I also have:
• Pollard
• Logan Thomas
• Jamaal Williams

Start any of those over risking Davis with Phillips/Crowder as plans B?

Logan Thomas is definitely intriguing. Third in targets (6), 62% snaps (48), what looks like a ++ matchup and I think at least some of the 19 targets that went to Samuel & Gibson saw last week could easily pivot to Thomas. And again, it feels like Detroit may see a lot of track meets this season.

I'm not sure how to slot Jamaal Williams ATM. He certainly got some opportunities even if he didn't do much with them, which makes him a TD dependent option. But Detroit looks like they can score regularly so, why not?

Can't say a darn thing about Pollard other than, until we Dallas do something, anything with him this season he feels entirely big play dependent.

Absent other news the only option I may consider is Thomas.
