Week 03 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

[Timmay]

QB help:

Daniels at Bengals
Darnold vs Texans

 

[zamboni]

WR3 for PPR (WR1/2 are London/Nabers)

Cooper vs. NYG
Odunze @ IND
Diontae Johnson @ LV
Shakir vs. JAX

I'm actually leaning Shakir here, although perhaps Diontae gets a boost with the Red Rifle back there. Can't trust Cooper (really Watson) right now despite the target volume, Rome is a ways away from being viable.

 

[zamboni]

I'll start:

Flex Starter PPR Scoring:
Jordan Mason @ LA Rams
David Montgomery @ ARI
Malik Nabers @ CLE
Jameson Williams @ ARI

Agree on Mason - guaranteed volume in a productive running game.

 

[zamboni]

After losing both Pacheco and AJB this week, I'm having to start a less than stellar option in the flex. 1 PPR. Who you like from this group:

Losivas vs Was
M.Wilson vs Det
Mooney vs KC

I'm leaning Losivas as Was has 32nd ranked def vs WRs. Talk me off the ledge.

I'd go with Mooney. Seems to be targeted quite a bit with Cousins and the passing game may be shaping into form.

 

[zamboni]

Flex - 1/2 point PPR
Losivas vs Was
Pittman vs Chicago
Z Moss vs Was

Currently have Moss in Flex

moss

Agree - guaranteed volume.

 

[urbanhack]

Standard yardage and 6pts TD pass.

Lamar @ Dallas
or
Goff @ Ari

 

[zamboni]

QB help:

Daniels at Bengals
Darnold vs Texans

Daniels - that rushing floor alone is very valuable.

 

[Chaka]

Here one:
FFPC scoring:
Need TWO of these flexes:

D.Singletary @ Cleve
J.Reed @ Tenn
B.Cooks vs Balt
A.Thielen @ LAV

I think Singletary based on potential volume alone, even against a good Brown's d.

After that, who knows. Maybe Thielen based on his big game in Dalton's only start last year.

If CeeDee misses practice again today Cooks looks a little better.

Reed I can't see because his production is messed mostly on gadget plays when Willis is under center. If Love plays then Reed is absolutely the guy.

Singletary>Reed/Thielen>Cooks.

But it's still highly fungible.

 

[shadrap]

QB help:

Daniels at Bengals
Darnold vs Texans

I like Darnold. Teams are starting to limit Daniels rushing lately(last week).

 

[Chaka]

Defense question.

* NYJ vs NE - NE's offensive line has been terrible and now two starters are already ruled out. NYJ's home opener. Thursday night game which is usually low scoring. However, NJY run D has shown some weakness and Brissett has done a good job not turning it over.

or

* SF @LAR - SF D smarting after a loss to MN heads to LAR where Stafford is down O lineman, Kupp and Nucua. Stafford and McVay could find a way to get it done and Kyren still there.

Which?

Thanks

It may be time to give the Patriots a little more respect.

But I would still start the Jets.

Jets>SF

 

[shadrap]

Standard yardage and 6pts TD pass.

Lamar @ Dallas
or
Goff @ Ari

Goff in a shootout.

 

[Chaka]

flex, PPR

Goedert @ NO
Jennings @ Rams
Kirk @ Buffalo MNF

Currently 2-0, favored this week.

Jennings was getting looks before Deebo got hurt and now he's facing a reeling Rams defense. I'd probably roll the dice.

The Jags look terrible and Goedert has always been more potential than production.

Jennings>Goedert>Kirk

 

[LionOfGosforth]

Standard yardage and 6pts TD pass.

Lamar @ Dallas
or
Goff @ Ari

I like Goff to get right this week. Lamar hasn't looked himself.

 

[Chaka]

1 PPR projected 50/50 matchup

Pick 2 WR’s:

Tyreek Hill at Miami
Chris Olave vs Philly
Drake London vs KC
DK Metcalf vs Miami
Malik Nabers at Cleveland

I feel best about Olave due to the matchup and possible shootout. Nabers has a terrible matchup. Hill with a backup, on the road against a couple solid CB’s. Which 2 would you suggest?

Thanks!!

If you like Olave, play Olave. You have great options overall. No arguing against any of them, ultimately.

I hate, hate, hate benching Tyreek but Skyler Thompson didn't target him once in 18 minutes of game time. You have to figure McDaniel will try and scheme to change that.

Personally I probably ride the hot hand with DK.

But I could easily waffle back and forth between him, London & Nabers & Tyreek a dozen times before kickoff.

Olave>DK>Nabers>London>Tyreek

 

[Chaka]

Standard scoring

Hate to have to ask but the way Green Bay took away the deep ball leaving him to struggle in the short game has me pretty concerned about ARich

Please pick 1

ARich vs Bears
or
Geno Smith vs Dolphins

Thank you

I'd be concerned about Richardson too. But you knew when you drafted him he was going to be a high variance guy. What's changed?

Unless you think you absolutely need 237 yards and 1.7 pass TDs guaranteed

Richardson>Geno

 

[Terpman22]

Here one:

D.Singletary @ Cleve
J.Reed @ Tenn
B.Cooks vs Balt
A.Thielen @ LAV

 

[Terpman22]

QB help:

Daniels at Bengals
Darnold vs Texans

Gonna go Darnold here. Feel this one might be a shoutout.

 

[Terpman22]

WR3 for PPR (WR1/2 are London/Nabers)

Cooper vs. NYG
Odunze @ IND
Diontae Johnson @ LV
Shakir vs. JAX

I'm actually leaning Shakir here, although perhaps Diontae gets a boost with the Red Rifle back there. Can't trust Cooper (really Watson) right now despite the target volume, Rome is a ways away from being viable.

Agree Shakir is the play but its close.

In order I'd say
Shakir
Dionte
Odunze (If Allen is out)
Cooper - something is up w him

But I would still start the Jets.

Jets>SF

As a longtime NE fan who watches them with great scrutiny, I will say that they have outperformed everyone's expectations. However, I feel like they got lucky with a Cinci team that just fell flat on its face thinking they could just show up and win. Brissett is somehow escaping tremendous pressure and slipping out of trouble. He's done a great job. A bit of a house of cards that could be ready to fall with these injuries on the O line.

Going Jets. Something tells me at home, McVay and Stafford find a way to give SF a little trouble.

 

[Drake Hater]

0.5 PPR need one

Braelon Allen vs NE
Brian Thomas Jr at Buf
D. Robinson vs SF

Leaning Thomas but open to advice

Edit to add QB start dilemma

Richardson vs Bears or
Fields vs Chargers

 

[Terpman22]

PPR Need 1 WR (Garrett Wilson/Shaheed in at WR1/WR2). Have a lot of WR4-WR7 types trying to get that WR3. Really need to make a trade but everyone is being stubborn ATM. Currently got Coleman penciled in which scares me coming of a bagel

Coleman @ Jax
Jauan Jennings at Rams
Tyler Johnson at SF
Kirk (LOL is he even alive) @ Buf
Nailor @ Hou
Palmer @ Pitt
Demarcus Robinson @ SF
Tolbert at Bal

 

[Chaka]

QB help:

Daniels at Bengals
Darnold vs Texans

Probably Daniels because of his rushing.

I'd like to see JJ & Addison practicing before I'm entirely comfortable going with Darnold.

Daniels>Darnold

 

[Rubi]

Here's a tricky one:
FFPC scoring:
Need FOUR of the following,ONE must be a running back:

Javonte Williams @ TB
C.Hubbard @ LAV
S.Perine @ Atl
L.McConkey @ Pitt
A.Thielen @LAV
Gabe Davis @ Buff
Z.Ertz @ Cinn

 

[Chaka]

WR3 for PPR (WR1/2 are London/Nabers)

Cooper vs. NYG
Odunze @ IND
Diontae Johnson @ LV
Shakir vs. JAX

I'm actually leaning Shakir here, although perhaps Diontae gets a boost with the Red Rifle back there. Can't trust Cooper (really Watson) right now despite the target volume, Rome is a ways away from being viable.

I can see an argument for everyone except Odunze ATM.

I really like Cooper's matchup and he's seeing good volume.

Cooper>Shakir>DJ

 

[Chaka]

Standard yardage and 6pts TD pass.

Lamar @ Dallas
or
Goff @ Ari

Lamar>Goff

Seems pretty clear IMO

 

[lsutigers]

PPR

Struggling at flex options with Singletary, Zamir White, Tank Dell and Khalil Shakir. Need to pick 3.

Feels like White will feast at Carolina (?), Shakir is a safe floor, and Dell is due. Leaning away from Singletary?

 

[Chaka]

0.5 PPR need one

Braelon Allen vs NE
Brian Thomas Jr at Buf
D. Robinson vs SF

Leaning Thomas but open to advice

Edit to add QB start dilemma

Richardson vs Bears or
Fields vs Chargers

No real feel for the first three. I'm good with Thomas but I might start Allen based on not much other than chasing the hot hand.

Richardson>Fields

Both high variance guys but one is playing within the constraints of his offense and the other still plays street ball. I can't see giving up on Richardson just yet.

 

[kyoun1e]

12 team PPR.

I'm a J. Conner owner who we know tends to get banged up for a few games each year. I DON'T own T. Benson and would like to acquire him. I guess the question is, how much would you be willing to give up to get Benson?

Bench players I'd be willing to give up:

* B. Allen (B. Hall backup)
* Q. Johnson (Have T. Hill, JSN, B. Thomas, C. Kupp...only have to start 2).
* D. Foreman
* C. Hubbard

I'm thinking B. Allen. He just scored twice. Value will probably never be higher.

Enough? Not worth it for Benson?

Thanks

Coleman @ Jax
Jauan Jennings at Rams
Tyler Johnson at SF
Kirk (LOL is he even alive) @ Buf
Nailor @ Hou
Palmer @ Pitt
Demarcus Robinson @ SF

My hunch play is probably Jennings at the Rams. I also like Nailor if Addison misses the game.

Jennings>Nailor>???

I mean, I probably go with the three running backs and hope that one of them does something. I don't like any of them particularly, but given the choice I probably bench Williams...no Hubbard...no Perine.

You get the point.

I think Thielen and Ertz are the other options, in that order if you decide to bench one of the running backs..

Ultimately, there isn't a lot to distinguish these guys.

 

[Chaka]

I bench white, personally. The Raiders are last in the league in rushing and there's a lot of talk in the Raider thread that it's because they changed the blocking scheme and it no longer suits Zamir's running style. The early returns suggests that might be accurate.

Beauty is in the eye... Personally I hold onto Allen as the best lottery ticket or at least to extract value from the Hall owner.

YMMV

 

[FairWarning]

I'll start:

Flex Starter PPR Scoring:
Jordan Mason @ LA Rams
David Montgomery @ ARI
Malik Nabers @ CLE
Jameson Williams @ ARI

Mason (cant bench any viable option vs the Rams right now)
Williams
Monty (Det/AZ has shootout potential)
Nabors - only because its Cle and I dont trust D Jones

I don't think you would be getting enough in the Allen- Sell High scenario. I would jump at that if I was Benson owner. You have depth at WR but Johnson coming off of a big game and he could be the guy in LA. Foreman also has a potential/likely pathway to being the lead back in Clev. The guy I don't think will do much but may have some value to others is Hubbard. Is he even a starter after week 4? I'd offer Hubbard for Benson with the understanding that this is a long play and Hubbard is worth more than Benson right now. I think you could sell that to the other owner.

Losivas vs Was

I'm leaning Losivas as Was has 32nd ranked def vs WRs. Talk me off the ledge.

Mooney is probably the safest play, Losivas is a gamble.

I hear you.

I doubt Hubbard will fly.

I just think the AZ offense is a goldmine. Maybe this year's equivalent to the DET offense. I want that AZ rushing attack locked down and don't mind overpaying.

 

[FairWarning]

Freiermuth, Pat PIT TE vs LAC
or
Kelce, Travis KCC TE @ATL

I can't see Kelse being very fantasy relevant anymore. You're probably looking at 600 yards, 6-8 TD's. Basically who do you think will score between Kelce or Freiermuth? I would bet on Kelce.

 

[FairWarning]

Standard scoring, RB/WR + 2 flex of either so can go RB/WR/WR/WR or RB/RB/RB/WR or two of each

Starting Hall, Achane and Collins - all have given me no reason to bench any of them, so need 1:

Metcalf vs Dolphins - strong candidate, good matchup
Monty @ Cards - been good but Gibbs clearly better?
Pickens vs Chargers - softer matchup this week possibly
Ford vs Giants - thought I had a cheap RB1 for a few weeks but Foreman picking away at his workload

Sit ford. I like Monty's chances to score over Ford in a higher scoring game.

 

[FairWarning]

With Deebo set to miss time I need one of these two.
TIA
Mooney v KC
Dionte Johnson v LV

Mooney until we get a feel for the new Panther offense.

 

[Absolutely Nothing]

My running back room is a disaster.

Full point PPR, choosing one between:

Steele (KC)
Singletary (NYG)
B. Allen (NYJ)
J. Williams (DEN)

Leaning Singletary for the floor.

That's where I lean as well. Maybe a shot at a short TD of you're lucky.

 

[FairWarning]

.5 PPR I’m favored by 10

Pick 2
D’Andre Swift at Colts
Zamir White vs Panthers
Brian Thomas at Bills

Leaning White and Thomas. Swift looks terrible.

Pick 1
CJ Stroud at Vikings
Dak Prescott vs Baltimore

Thanks!

This may be the Get Well week for Swift vs that Colts D. They have been a sieve. Swift, White for me

Stroud narrowly over a good bounceback spot for Dak.

 

[bcat01]

QB - 6pt TD

Agree unless you think Diggs has a big game vs his old team.

 

[zoonation]

Need one of (PPR):

BRob
Dell
Cooper
Reed (only if Love plays)

 

[zoonation]

WR3 for PPR (WR1/2 are London/Nabers)

Cooper vs. NYG
Odunze @ IND

Shakir vs. JAX

I'm actually leaning Shakir here, although perhaps Diontae gets a boost with the Red Rifle back there. Can't trust Cooper (really Watson) right now despite the target volume, Rome is a ways away from being viable.

Rome is droppable.

Yoshi if Higgins is out.
I'd probably go Mooney if Higgins plays. Would imagine KC scores and Atlanta is playing catch up late.

Javonte Williams @ TB
C.Hubbard @ LAV

I hate to recommend 2 Panthers, but they may get a jolt from Dalton. If you are a big underdog, play Hubbard, Thielen, McConkey, G Davis.
