Week 04 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

[Chaka]

Start qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, flex, te
Ppr

Daniels
Barkley, jacobs
Evans, jameson williams
mason
Gesicki

Bench
A. Jones, devonta smith, shakir, waddle, dobbins, shaheed

Sitting smith and his concussion for williams but debating putting shakir in over him. Also wondering if a. Jones should be in over mason or jacobs. Revenge game and all. Waddle, dobbins, shaheed, and smith seem like easy sits

I'm as big of a Jameson believer outside of @jon_mx but I think I go with Shakir. Shakir is quietly WR17 in PPR formats and the Bills have yet to play a full four quarters.

Jones & Jacobs is a big push but I do put some stock in Jones return to GB. Then again I could see Jacobs being motivated to prove GB made the right choice.

Yes, I might put both in over Mason.

It's a coin toss.

 

[Chaka]

PPR Need two RB:

Kamara vs Atl
James Cook vs Balt
Montgomery vs Sea
Zack Moss vs Car?

Not Moss.

Probably Kamara & Cook but you can't go wrong with any of those three.

Well, you can go wrong but the decision wouldn't be wrong.

 

[Chaka]

NON PPR Standard Need two RB:

B. Robinson vs NO
Barkley vs TB
Kamara vs ATL ?

Again, it's a coin toss.

I don't bench Barkley for anyone.

I probably go with Kamara simply because he's getting four more touches per game.

Again, no wrong answers.

 

[Chaka]

PPR Need one Flex:

Singletary vs Dallas
Pickens vs INDY
Cooper vs LV?

Pickens & Amari have bigger upside IMO but I don't trust either QB to consistently unlock them.

I like the way Singletary is playing and the consistent volume he gets as one of the few every down RBs in the league.

Singletary>Flip a coin

thanks ,just feels like a get right game for dallas D

As someone with both Nabers & Singletary (separate leagues) I absolutely agree.

I'm still starting them both.

 

[Chaka]

6 point passing TD

Justin Fields at Colts
Caleb Williams home vs Rams
Geno Smith at Lions

I think it has to be Geno but I'm tempted to say Fields. But I can't recommend either him or Caleb over a proven commodity like Geno.

The Lions seem to have a great run defense and this game has been ridiculously high scoring each of the last two years (both times in Detroit).

Fields is going to have a breakout game, Williams kind of did last week in a way. But I like Geno here.

Geno>Fields>Caleb

 

[anguskahn]

Half ppr
Amari Cooper vs vegas
Jk dobbins vs kc

 

[Chaka]

6 points per passing TD:

Fields at Indy
Dalton at home against the Bengals

Benching Richardson against the Steelers

I am high on Fields this week but I recognize Dalton looked amazing last week. Can Dalton keep up the momentum? I wish I knew.

I think I like Fields because he's been getting better he really seems like he is buying into everything going on in Pittsburgh. It's not a high octane offense but I think he has a safe floor even if he doesn't have a big game.

Dalton is probably a fine choice too, maybe a smarter one but I like Fields.

Fields>Dalton

 

[Chaka]

PPR League.

Goal is to determine if R. Dowdle should start or sit tmrw night understanding other options available on Sunday/Monday:

* R. Dowdle @NYG - Great matchup. Dallas in a big rebound spot here. Gamescript could be in his favor. Dowdle clearly the better back vs. Zeke. Is this the game Dowdle is given the keys?

Now, Dowdle better than any of these options:

* C. Hubbard Vs Cinci -- Hard to bench him after what he did against LV. Matchup is there against a horrible Cinci D at home.

* J. Ford @LV - Hubbard just ran all over LV. Trust factor a little iffy here with CLE offense in general and does Foreman get in mix again?

* B. Thomas @HOU - JAX offense a trainwreck, but he seems like a 10 pt floor buy with upside especially as each day passes and he grows. If HOU's Stingley on him...no good.

Does Dowdle start tmrw night over these guys?

Thanks

I wouldn't start Dowdle. I just can't make an argument for him other than it's a good matchup.

 

[Chaka]

Half ppr
Amari Cooper vs vegas
Jk dobbins vs kc

Dobbins is looking like an every down back in San Diego. I would like him more if I knew Herbert was playing and losing Alt definitely hurts but he's definitely the volume play.

Amari just had a great game and he may have some extra juice playing his old team. But Deshaun has been objectively terrible so he's hard to trust.

Tentatively

Amari>Dobbins

But I can easily see switching.

 

[poye]

PPR
Zack Moss vs Car
Or
D. Hopkins vs Miami

 

[Chaka]

PPR
Zack Moss vs Car
Or
D. Hopkins vs Miami

I'm leaning Moss here. Moss is the lead back in Cinci and it isn't nearly as close as Chase Brown apologists would have us believe.

And I just don't trust Levis yet.

Moss>Hopkins

 

[Sir Psycho]

Pick 3 non-ppr
Godwins vs PHI
DJ Moore vs LAR
McLaurin vs Ari
Jauan Jennings vs NE
Pickens vs Indy

 

[Chaka]

Pick 3 non-ppr
Godwins vs PHI
DJ Moore vs LAR
McLaurin vs Ari
Jauan Jennings vs NE
Pickens vs Indy

If Debo and Kittle are out again I think you have to ride the hot hand. I don't expect another 175-3 but he should still have a good game against NE.

Godwin seems like an obvious choice as well.

Between Moore, McLaurin & Pickens I probably favor McLaurin just a bit. Daniels has been crazy accurate and it's not like he's dumping off balls to RBs, he has an 8.7 y/a. I like to think last week was a sign of things to come for McLaurin.

Moore probably next. Caleb definitely has the arm but the offense has been plagued by terrible o-line play. The Rams, even severely depleted can be a tough out. I think this week could be a let down for them but I never count a McVay coached team out.

Pickens will probably have several monster games but I don't want to get into the whack-a-mole effort of trying to predict which ones that will be. At least not until (if) Fields is trusted to open up the offense.

McLaurin>DJ>Pickens

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

PPR
B.Cooks or Doubs?

 

[travdogg]

I'll start. PPR, Super-Flex

I Need Two RBs:
Jonathan Taylor v PIT
Jahmyr Gibbs v SEA
David Montgomery v SEA
Jordan Mason v NEP

I Need Two WRs:
CeeDee Lamb @ NYG (THU)
Rashee Rice @ LAC
Malik Nabers v DAL (THU)

Finally I need one flex from the above players who you don't think should start.

Right now I think Rashee is the only lock in my lineup...probably.

Taylor and Mason would be my RB picks. I just think they both have such safe workloads right now. Hard to sit either Lions RB, but even harder to justify starting either.

I'd start all 3 WRs. Lamb>Rice>Nabers. Lamb against a NYG D missing 2 of their top-3 CBs.

A question I did not expect to ask.

Richardson vs Pittsburgh
Or
Darnold at Green Bay

Honestly, given the matchup, I'd go Darnold. Richardson against the Steelers feels like it could go really bad in a lot of ways.

Standard scoring

Please pick 1 QB:

Goff vs Seahawks - I like Goff at home with those weapons

G.Smith @ Lions - Lions stop the run pretty good so decent option in a shootout?

A.Rich vs Steelers - ugh, no thanks


Flex, please pick 2

Metcalf @Lions - should be pretty involved

Achane vs Titans - Phins offensive woes appeared to affect him for the first time last week

Monty vs Seahawks - So reliable this year but this game feels like it might be a pass fest

J.Ford @ Vegas - usually gets the most work but rarely does a ton with it

B.Allen vs Broncos - already starting Hall so probably not considering him but Broncos can be run on

I'd go Geno at QB, he's looked the best of the 3 so far, and I'm not sure the Lions aren't the easiest matchup of the bunch.

I'd go Achane and DK. Monty might be slightly safer than Achane, but I think his ceiling is so much lower, even in standard.

QB: Murray or Daniels - playing each other. I've picked the wrong guy each week. I feel like Daniels does more with less...I dunno. I'm also considering BRobinson and maybe Ertz while I wait for Njoku.

WR need 2
Flex need 2

Locked WR: Evans

WR2 Options:
Cooper @LV- Watson going to get time to pass? LV just got lit up by Dalton, doubt that Antonio lets them take 2 in a row off
DJ Moore vs Rams - shoot out? Getting 8-10 targets, due for a TD
Diggs vs Jags - targets yes, run the clock out sure...maybe after he gets 60 1TD
Diontae J vs Cincy - targets check, good QB check, suspect secondary check, play from behind yep
Shaheed - pass

Flex:
Monty vs Seattle. Minus center, not feeling this.
BRobinson vs Arz. Not sure I want to start if I have Daniels + Ertz

The 2 flex can be any combo of WR/RB.

As of now, I'm leaning
Evans + DJ Moore WR
Diggs + Robinson Flex

I'd got Kyler QB1 overall this week. Washington secondary can't cover anyone, and even with McBride looking iffy, I like Kyler over Daniels. Gotta be feeling great about that "problem"

I'd actually go Johnson and Diggs at WR. I wouldn't assume the Texans are running out the clock against almost anyone right now, Dell is out, and Nico is iffy.

At flex, I'd go both RBs. Robinson with no Ekeler in a game that has high scoring upside, and Monty is always a TD candidate. I'm not as high on Evans given a potential knee issue. Liked him a lot more 2 days ago.

Standard scoring Non-PPR league. I need one flex out of these four:

Singletary vs DAL - Dallas D not playing well against the run
Stephenson vs SF - Got bottled up against the Jets and faces another tough D
Diggs vs JAC - A dud in week 2 but catches and yards in week 3
Pickens vs IND - Hard to start him with any confidence

In non-ppr, I'm leaning toward the RB and Singletary. Obviously need to make a decision early since they play on Thursday.

Diggs would be my call here. Bears secondary is really good, that's all that has slowed Diggs this season.

Start 2QB league. 4 point passing tds. Stroud is already locked in as my QB1. Who’s my other QB for the week?

Geno(Lions)
Purdy(Pats)
Carr(Falcons)

Honestly leaning Geno atm because of the matchup. You can’t run against DET but they can be beat through the air. Also have Metcalf on this team fwiw.

I'd go Purdy. Should be getting Kittle back this week, and maybe Deebo (that's less likely though) and I think he's also just the best option in general.

Need 2 of three for multi flex.

PPR and bonus points for long TDs. 40+ = 5, 50+ = 10

Jayden Reed - vs. MN
Jerome Ford - @LV
Bucky Irving - vs. Phi

Irving's health may answer this for you, but if not, I'd still prefer Reed and Ford. Reed could really take off with Love back.

Full PPR need to start 2 WR and 1 Flex

Right now have Metcalf locked in WR1. Leaves one more WR spot and a Flex spot. Pick two from the following:

Jennings (in a good offense that will be down Deebo again (maybe Kittle again too) but play a weak opp so game script may not favor heavy passing?)
London (has had two good weeks in a row, but I am not sure I still trust him/Cousins? If Saints get going on offense though ATL may need to play catchup)
Shakir (keeps prodcucing while practically only playing 2-3 quarters of games since the Bills have been so dominant, but he may have to play a full game against Ravens this week?)

TIA

Entirely depends on Deebo. I think London is a lock, If Deebo is out, I'd go Jennings, if Deebo is playing go Shakir.

Flex Spot, non-ppr

Devin Singletary (short week Thursday game vs DAL)
Terry McLaurin @Ari
Amari Cooper @LV

Would be starting Singletary no question as his consistent volume alone is worth it in the flex, but the Thursday game worries me a bit.

I think Singletary is the safest bet given the Cowboys league worst run D.

Here we goooooooo:
FFPC scoring:

TEAM A:
Need TWO Flexes:

D.Swift vs LAR
Javonte Williams @ NYJ
B.Allen vs DEN
L.McConkey vs KC
Z.Ertz @ AZ

TEAM B:
Need TWO Flexes:

D.Swift vs LAR
C.Akers vs JAX
J.Downs vs PITT
R.Doubbs vs MINN
D.Mooney vs NO
G.Dortch vs WASH

Team A=Feels weird saying I like Ertz the most in 2024. I think I'd give Swift one last shot. I just don't wanna trust Allen to get a score against Denver and want no part of Williams/McConkey right now.

PPR Need one Flex:

Singletary vs Dallas
Pickens vs INDY
Cooper vs LV?

Singletary is the safest play here against the league's worst run D.

Start qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, flex, te
Ppr

Daniels
Barkley, jacobs
Evans, jameson williams
mason
Gesicki

Bench
A. Jones, devonta smith, shakir, waddle, dobbins, shaheed

I think Jones is a better play than Jacobs. Vikings D is a lot better than Packers D.

Its possible Smith gets cleared, and he's a must start if he does, but if not, I think Evans and Williams are the right calls.

PPR Need two RB:

Kamara vs Atl
James Cook vs Balt
Montgomery vs Sea
Zack Moss vs Car?

Kamara and Cook, and unless Gibbs gets hurt, that's probably gonna be the case every week.

NON PPR Standard Need two RB:

B. Robinson vs NO
Barkley vs TB
Kamara vs ATL ?

Gosh, and embarrassment of riches here. I guess I sit Kamara since its non-PPR.

6 point passing TD

Justin Fields at Colts
Caleb Williams home vs Rams
Geno Smith at Lions

With 6 pt pass TDs, I think Geno just edges out Fields.

6 points per passing TD:

Fields at Indy
Dalton at home against the Bengals

Benching Richardson against the Steelers

I think Dalton is fool's gold, as the Raiders have the worst back 7 in the NFL. Even with it being 6 pt pass TDs, I'd go Fields.

PPR League.

* R. Dowdle @NYG - Great matchup. Dallas in a big rebound spot here. Gamescript could be in his favor. Dowdle clearly the better back vs. Zeke. Is this the game Dowdle is given the keys?

Now, Dowdle better than any of these options:

* C. Hubbard Vs Cinci -- Hard to bench him after what he did against LV. Matchup is there against a horrible Cinci D at home.

* J. Ford @LV - Hubbard just ran all over LV. Trust factor a little iffy here with CLE offense in general and does Foreman get in mix again?

* B. Thomas @HOU - JAX offense a trainwreck, but he seems like a 10 pt floor buy with upside especially as each day passes and he grows. If HOU's Stingley on him...no good.

I'd sit Dowdle.

Hubbard>Ford>Dowdle>Thomas for me.

 

[Chaka]

PPR
B.Cooks or Doubs?

Uhhhhhhhh ... Yes???

I'm going Cooks just because of the uncertainty with Love. Doubs has been nothing with Willis.

 

[travdogg]

Half ppr
Amari Cooper vs vegas
Jk dobbins vs kc

I'd go Dobbins if Herbert plays.

PPR
Zack Moss vs Car
Or
D. Hopkins vs Miami

I like Moss by a pretty wide margin. Not buying Panthers 1 week turnaround at all.

Pick 3 non-ppr
Godwins vs PHI
DJ Moore vs LAR
McLaurin vs Ari
Jauan Jennings vs NE
Pickens vs Indy

Godwin>Moore>McLaurin>Pickens>Jennings

PPR
B.Cooks or Doubs?

I'd take the shot on Doubs with Love back. Cooks might catch a TD against a banged up NYG secondary, but he also might be falling behind Tolbert for the #2 job.

 

[zeke2222]

PPR

Pickens vs Indy

[Chaka]

PPR

Pickens vs Indy

or
Zay Flowers vs Buff?

Hmmm... I have been Bearish on Pickens so far (it is Bearish, right? Not Bullish? The conservative one) but Pickens is a legitimate home run hitter, Fields seems to be gaining confidence (and Tomlin seems to be gaining confidence in Fields), and the matchup is great on paper.

Pickens>Zay

 

[xenon]

Standard Scoring PPR

QB Goff vs Purdy
RB (x2) KWIII, Jerome Ford, Donta Foreman (Ford listed as questionable); Cam Akers (roll the dice w/ Walker on Monday night?
Flex (x1) Jauan Jennings (started him last week) or a RB not selected

Thank You

PPR

Pickens vs Indy

Man this is tough. I think flowers will be used a lot due to matchup yet Pickens is due for positive regression and the matchup is good. Pickens for ceiling, say for floor?

 

[Judge Smails]

Torn between:

Geno @ Lions. He’s had great games against them the last several years. Lions completely shutdown the running game so Geno should throw 40 times. Good receivers and completing 70% of his passes. Only issue is Hutchinson in his face

Fields @ Indy. Indy gives up big running and passing plays. Several injuries including Buckner. RB’s banged up so will Fields finally unleash a monster rushing stat line? Should hit Pickens deep at least once.

Typical floor vs ceiling scenario. Think Genos ceiling is a bit higher than usual with the Lions game so he offers a bit more stability. Fields could get two rushing tds and win you your week.

Who is your opponent qb? Can you win with other positions? That’s what it comes down to.

 

[-OZ-]

PPR, game looks to be close

Diontae Johnson vs cincy
Tony pollard vs Miami
Brian Thomas at Houston

I had leaned DJ but rethinking with a groin injury and I think the Titans run a lot against the dolphins.

Should note 6 point TD league. Tough opponent. He had Saquon and others. We are predicted to have the same score. So can’t just go for a high floor.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. Pick one.

* J. Ford @LV -- Chubba just ran all over LV. Could see Pierce getting LV D riled up a bit after that one. CLE OL is hurting bad right now though as is the entire offense. Low O/U.

* R. Johnson vs LAR -- Sneaky play. Reports indicated he will get "an extended look" this week since Swift is a terrible NFL RB. CHI offensive line a mess too, but LAR D is soft.

* B. Thomas @HOU -- Another tough matchup for the rookie. This week, HOU's D. Stingley. He could get loose though.

Which?

Thanks

 

[kyoun1e]

QB question. 4 pts per passing TD.

* J. Hurts @TB -- Hard to think of sitting Hurts, but it looks like D. Smith and AJ will be out. Bowles did a number on Hurts last year with blitzes. That said, DEN's Bo Nix had a nice day last week running and throwing. For some reason, Hurts has the turnover bug to start the year.

or

* G. Smith @DET -- High O/U. Geno's passer metrics are outstanding to start the year. Should be forced to throw since DET's rush D is tough as nails, but the secondary can be had.

Which?

Thanks

 

[Chaka]

Standard Scoring PPR

QB Goff vs Purdy
RB (x2) KWIII, Jerome Ford, Donta Foreman (Ford listed as questionable); Cam Akers (roll the dice w/ Walker on Monday night?
Flex (x1) Jauan Jennings (started him last week) or a RB not selected

Thank You

Purdy>Goff right now Purdy is throwing TDs and the Lions are mixing it up a lot more. That could flip at any moment but the Niners seem to be more reliant on the pass ATM

Any RB v the Raiders, particularly with Maxx Crosby hobbled. I might start both considering Joe Mixon is back at practice today. But, if Mixon is ruled out I think you have to go with Akers and one of the Browns backs. I don't know Walker's status but the Lions have a very strong run defense so I don't think you can go with him unless you are certain he is playing.

As it stands I think I go with

Foreman>Ford>Akers>Walker

But there are too many unknowns ATM. If Mixon is back and Walker is cleared to play then I probably go with Foreman & Walker.

I like Jauan over any of those RBs even with Kittle back at practice.

Geno.

I love Fields but Geno has been dealing. He is one of the most accurate QBs in the league and I think they will need to pass to beat the Lions.

 

[Chaka]

PPR, game looks to be close

Diontae Johnson vs cincy
Tony pollard vs Miami
Brian Thomas at Houston

I had leaned DJ but rethinking with a groin injury and I think the Titans run a lot against the dolphins.

I haven't been following the Titans closely but what happened last week? Pollard went from a 20 touch lead back to a forgotten commodity. Did Tennessee just abandon the run in the second half?

I am going to assume that is the case and also assume that they won't get blown out by Miami. Therefore I'll go with the 20 opportunity guy over the others. Particularly with Dionte nursing an ankle.

Pollard>Dionte>Thomas

Go with your gut, 100%!

IMO Geno has a good ceiling as well. Almost no one outside Josh Allen has Fields's ceiling but until we see the Steelers turn him loose I would expect to see him get anywhere near it.

FTR I am starting Fields over Darnold & Caleb and possibly Jordan Love if he plays.

I have been following the Roschon news a bit as well. I can't be confident that 1) it will happen & 2) the results will be much better than we have already seen from the Bears run game. Although it probably can't be worse than Swift so far.

Maxx Crosby is missing practice at the moment. If he's out I think Ford is the guy here. That Raiders D has been terrible against the run all year (176 yards to the Chargers, 151 to the Ravens & 131 yards to Chuba Hubbard & the Panthers. Even if Maxx plays this defense seems like one you have to start your RBs against until they prove they can stop you.

Ford>Thomas>Roschon The last two are hunches. If you have a different hunch, absolutely go for it.

I hate to bench Hurts as well. But, having gone through last year with him, the last six games were mostly brutal and season killing. The downside is there. Add in Saquon perhaps being a 1a/1b option at the goal line I can see benching Hurts.

Geno is dealing and the last two meetings in Detroit have been track meets. This is a different Seattle team, a better one, but I think they will have trouble running the ball and Geno will have to throw a lot.

I am not sure I would have the stones to do it at 9:59 am PDT on Sunday but at 10:48 am PDT on Friday I think I would go

Geno>Hurts

One thing: Ford missed practice Wednesday with a knee issue. He's practiced both Thursday and Friday, but CLE writers seem to be making it a thing. Monitoring...

Although on the flip side Max Crosby was just ruled OUT. That's huge.

[Chaka]

1/2 PPR, WR
Jennings or Higgins

Full PPR, WR, Pick 2
G WIlson, London, Aiyuk, Cooper

Full PPR, RB
R White or Z White

I'm sticking with Jauan for at least one more week, even with Kittle back at practice. If Deebo actually plays this week I may pivot but, even then I don't think so.

Jennings>Higgins

I'm not giving up on Garrett Wilson yet. He's getting 9 targets per game, they are going to start to connect more frequently. You play Cooper if your gut tells you he will have a big game against his old team. You play Aiyuk if you feel he has shaken the rust off. Personally I stick with Drake London, he's seeing a lot of high quality targets now.

Wilson>London>Cooper>Aiyuk

I guess Raachad over Zamir because the Raiders run game is that bad and it's also a time share and Zamir isn't involved in the passing game.

Raachad>Zamir

QB question. 4 pts per passing TD.

* J. Hurts @TB -- Hard to think of sitting Hurts, but it looks like D. Smith and AJ will be out. Bowles did a number on Hurts last year with blitzes. That said, DEN's Bo Nix had a nice day last week running and throwing. For some reason, Hurts has the turnover bug to start the year.

or

* G. Smith @DET -- High O/U. Geno's passer metrics are outstanding to start the year. Should be forced to throw since DET's rush D is tough as nails, but the secondary can be had.

Which?

Thanks

I thought AJ was back at practice today?

I hate to bench Hurts as well. But, having gone through last year with him, the last six games were mostly brutal and season killing. The downside is there. Add in Saquon perhaps being a 1a/1b option at the goal line I can see benching Hurts.

Geno is dealing and the last two meetings in Detroit have been track meets. This is a different Seattle team, a better one, but I think they will have trouble running the ball and Geno will have to throw a lot.

I am not sure I would have the stones to do it at 9:59 am PDT on Sunday but at 10:48 am PDT on Friday I think I would go

Geno>Hurts

Wow. Surprised.

AJ was at practice but not sure he's really practicing.

Are you saying bench Hurts even with AJ looking like he's starting??

If AJ plays I would probably pivot to Hurts but even then I think it might be the wrong decision this week.

PPR
Zack Moss vs Car
Or
D. Hopkins vs Miami

I'd go Moss here. Feel like Carolina can be run on and I just don't trust Levis

Need to pick 2 of these 3 WRs:

Dionte vs CIN
Jakobi Meyers vs CLE (Davante out)
Shakir @ BAL

 

[1320kid]

Entirely depends on Deebo. I think London is a lock, If Deebo is out, I'd go Jennings, if Deebo is playing go Shakir.

So London > Jennings (no deebo) > Shakir? You are comfortable trusting London now?

Thats where I'm at too. Thanks!

Torn between:

Geno @ Lions. He’s had great games against them the last several years. Lions completely shutdown the running game so Geno should throw 40 times. Good receivers and completing 70% of his passes. Only issue is Hutchinson in his face

Fields @ Indy. Indy gives up big running and passing plays. Several injuries including Buckner. RB’s banged up so will Fields finally unleash a monster rushing stat line? Should hit Pickens deep at least once.

Fields

Shakir @ BAL

Probably Dionte & Shakir.

Jakobi is probably a good choice of your gut wants to go in that direction. But, as a battered Raiders fan I am not sure I can properly project him.

 

[shadrap]

PPR, game looks to be close

Diontae Johnson vs cincy
Tony pollard vs Miami
Brian Thomas at Houston

I had leaned DJ but rethinking with a groin injury and I think the Titans run a lot against the dolphins.

Is Trey Tucker ready for more???? I added the "y" to Tre because I think he is. LOL

I do too, but where I have him I don’t need him.
