What about Chubb for D Cook and Ro Moore/Jeudy (not sure I like this anyway)
Chaka
Footballguy
So many variables. Is it PPR? I wouldn't throw in Jeudy but maybe R.Moore. Just not sure if I would give Cook for Chubb in a PPR.

So with Wednesday practice reports out here is what I know.
David Montgomery was limited in his return to practice
DeAndre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown were DNP both yesterday and today
Starting RBs: Jamaal Williams & James Robinson
Starting WRs: Justin Jefferson & Courtland Sutton
I need a flex player FULL PPR:
Khalil Herbert @ MIN
Romeo Doubs v NYG (London)
Curtis Samuel v TEN

Similar backs facing similar rush defenses. Edge to Gordon tonight because of less competition for touches and he will be more involved in the passing game.

Niners simply because they are one of the 2-3 truly elite defenses in the league.
1st in scoring, 2nd in sacks, passing, rushing & total yardage.

SF all day every day. Carolina is a dumpster fire and that scoring system seems kinda perfect for a Mayfield-led offense

I was running Waller as TE and Ertz on Bench and was about to switch it up when someone offered a Trade and I sent Ertz to that team for Josh Jacobs.
I haveTravis Derrick Henry, A. Gibson, Miles Sanders, and JK Dobbins... And Now Jacobs
1. How did I do on that trade?
2. Would you start Sanders over Jacobs? Then whoever sits, Would you start them over Marquis Brown at flex.
If it helps I start Evans and Deebo Samuel at WR.

First off I am glad to hear Travis Henry has finally turned his life around and made it back to the NFL.
Solid trade IMO.
Sanders & Jacobs are a coin toss IMO but, if last week is any indication of things to come I think Jacobs is the right call.
Historically McDaniels offenses like to pound the ball into the end zone when near the goal line. They also throw a bunch to their backs. Jacobs is providing to be one of the true lead backs in the NFL. He simply doesn't split time.
Jacobs>Sanders
Brown v Sanders is very close too. But I think I lean Brown. He's getting crazy volume and the Cardinals are the highest volume passing game in the league. I figure they won't be able to get much going on the ground, other than what Murray does.
Sanders is also a strong start and you should strongly consider him, but there are more options in the Eagles offense and he has a greater chance to be underutilized, relatively, than Brown.
Brown>Sanders

Your team does get better, their team might get better. And it's only a discount if DJ turns it around.
I have no reason to think DJ is going to turn it around anytime soon. He will have some good games, maybe, probably on your bench and if he's regular in your lineup he's hurting you more often trying to capture those food games than he helps you when those games occur.
Back for more sage advice from The Sages. FFPC scoring on both:
Query #1: Need One of the following:
T.Etienne vs Hou
H.Renfro @ KC (Monday night with no backup if he doesn't play but let's say he's playing for purposes of this query)
Query #2: Need One of the following:
B.Cooks vs Jax
D.Smith @ AZ
R.Stevenson vs Det

Etienne and Smith imo
Chaka
Footballguy
I can't disassociate the risk from the player. Gotta go with Etienne and it only becomes a question if we get a report before kickoff Sunday that Renfrow is playing.
Even if Renfrow plays, it is supremely difficult to figure out what he brings to the table. 8 targets/game is awesome but, ATM, Carr has his lowest completion % since his rookie year. Growing pains in a new, and exceedingly complicated offense.
With Etienne the consideration is if you think the Jags will control the game. If you do then I would be hopeful for Etienne to have a nice day, maybe 13-15 opportunities. If you think it's going to remain a close score for most of the game then Etienne's floor is more of a concern but he should still see 8-10 opportunities.
Etienne>Renfrow but it's close enough to consider Renfrow.
It may be foolishly optimistic, especially considering you have a solid floor guy in Cooks and a big ceiling guy in DaVonta but, how can you not roll the dice on almost anyone going against Detroit?

Wilson only because I expect Tua to return soon. The Dolphins are trying to create the appearance they care but I doubt they sit Tua for long.
Sorry that was a joke! I was trying to find a replacement for Wilson. Not cutting him yet in my 2 QB league but I might start playing matchups.
I have a "who should I drop" question. 12 team PPR league.
I have to drop one of the following for a d*mn kicker.
* D. Prescott -- Currently have D. Carr (who will have a bye week next week), and had drafted T. Lance. Picked up Prescott to help fill the gap.
* A. Robinson -- Talk about selling low, but he's been useless. My other WRs: J. Chase, M. Pittman, B. Aiyuk.
* R. White -- Love his upside.
* I. Pacheco -- Ditto.
Note: My team is 0-4 so there's a decent change that I could have the #1 waiver next week lol so I could be in a position to pick any of the above back up.
Thanks!

I would drop ARob. We have now seen 4 games and he doesn't seem to be clicking with Stafford. IMHO the other players have more upside

I definitely should have started Zach Wilson.
I would probably roll with Lawrence but it is tough. I don't like Murray's matchup but i also think he might get some garbage TDs, etc and will probably end up having a decent game.
Tough call on D but I would go with the Rams against the undefeated Cooper Rush
I should have started Taysom Hill over RussI definitely should have started Zach Wilson.
I think lawrence profiles as a 225yd 2 TD guy week to week. The 6pt TD negates some of Kyler's advantage in fantasy but I think AZ has a bigger chance of playing from behind so I would go with Kyler.
I like Rams D to take out Dallas running game so maybe them even though probably not a big TO game. Just a guess But I think Raiders have more ways to hurt a D than Dallas does.

I have no problem bailing on Allen Robinson. At this point it will take weeks of consistent solid performances before you could even begin to consider inserting him into your lineup on a consistent basis.

I like Lawrence but this feels like overthinking. Isn't Jacksonville just as likely to grind Houston into dust as Phili is to shut Murray down? IMO it is more likely that Philly has trouble containing Murray than it is for Lawrence to have to put up more than 230 yards and maybe 2 pass TDs. Murray is just too explosive IMO. He's been a bit of a disappointment in magic football, but in my league he is still QB 8 and has outperformed Lawrence 3 out of 4 times.
Murray>Lawrence
The Rams look lost right now. Maybe they get well against the Cowboys but, in my league they are only the 27th defense and KC is 8th. I like the Chiefs offense to put pressure on any opposing team to keep up and, with the Raiders highly suspect o-line and Carr still clearly learning McDaniels offense.
Chiefs>Rams

Random number generators. I honestly cannot provide any sort of logical analysis that will lead to any other conclusion than pick a name out of a hat.
My money says Hayden Hurst against the terrible Ravens D but, who knows?
Houston turmOiler
Footballguy
Thanks. Was leaning this way but now I feel better. You've steered me right all season... many thanks regardless how it goes.

Isn't Hurst questionable?

Kareem Hunt is so darn frustrating. I am hesitant to recommend him (or AJ Dillon or Tony Pollard) despite the fact that the logic behind starting him is still sound. He gets 15 opportunities per week behind a very good offensive line and is performing well with those touches. But the TDs and big plays simply are not happening. Over his last three he isn't even a RB 3.
I think everyone is going to be chasing points against Detroit and I agree with that until Detroit proves we shouldn't.
Dillon is getting more opportunities than Hunt but doing less with them. How do you bench an 18 opportunity/week guy? Then again, how do you not bench that same 18 touch/week guy? Ugh, IDK
Godwin got 10 looks last week and the Bucs have a plus matchup this week. He is good enough and Brady looks to him enough to justify the start this week.
If you spend time in this thread you know I am a fan of Cooks. But the Texans offense, ATM, looks worse than the one that ended the 2021 season and Jacksonville also looks like a tough defense, particularly at home. We could also be seeing a slight shift in the Texans offense with Pierce becoming a larger factor and taking a bigger piece of the limited offensive pie.
Godwin>Harris>>this is really a coin toss but for me Dillon>Hunt>Cooks
I think I roll the dice on London this week. Tough matchup but, who else are they going to throw to?
London>Dillon>Cooks
No real idea but I think Schultz is a bigger part of the Dallas offense than Tonyan is in GB.

So with Wednesday and Thursday practice reports out here is what I know.
David Montgomery was limited on both Thursday & Friday and is questionable
DeAndre Swift is officially out
Amon-Ra St. Brown practiced today (limited) and is questionable

PPR League. Need one of these guys in my flex spot:
* B. Aiyuk @CAR -- Carolina seems a bit stingy on D. Not the greatest matchup. Deebo getting all the love as usual, but the target tree is pretty narrow especially if Kittle is doing more blocking than usual. He's getting targets. Could have a breakout game.
* D. Henderson vs DAL -- Not a great matchup. LAR offense seems clunky and O line has issues. And who knows if it's Akers or Hendu.
* T. Pollard @LAR -- Not a great matchup. And he burned me last week with 1 lousy point.
* C. Edmunds @NYJ -- Seems to fall into the endzone (on my bench) every week. With T. Hill and Waddle banged up maybe he gets more love? Or not.
* A. Robinson vs DAL -- lol. Probably drop him.
Which?
Thanks

- Herbert if Monty is out.
- ARSB if he's 100%. Hoodie can't take away him and Hock.
- Samuel in a giving WR matchup
- Doubs (might not be needed much).

With MThomas out, my flex options are Hunt vs. LAC or GWilson vs Miami.
0.5 PPR. After Pittman's so-so performance last night, I'm an underdog, which would suggest going for upside, though I'm not sure which of the two would be considered the upside play

Hard to say until the injury reports come out. Obviously St. Brown is a must start if he plays. After that Herbert if Monty doesn't play. Then Doubs.

Can't reliably start D.Henderson or A.Robinson IMO. Trying to capture any big games they might have will hurt you more often than help (although I'm certain the memory that sticks will be the one when they blow up on your bench).
Yeah, Edmonds is a PITA but don't over look the fact that Edmonds put up 8 yards on 8 opportunities to get that last TD. Still a bad day. The week before it was 27 yards on 7 opportunities to get to a decent day even with two scores.
Pollard and Aiyuk are definitely frustrating but they are your most talented options and are getting the best opportunities. Not 100% which one I like more yet but I like them both over the others.
The Rams rush defense has been solid and I think most of us believe the Cooper Rush train has to come to grinding halt at some point, don't we? But does it really? Pollard should get 12 or so opportunities and he is very explosive so he certainly has a punchers chance at relevancy, or even a big game.
Pretty much the same holds for Aiyuk. Maybe 8 targets and he does get the occasional look near the goal line so...why not?
Yeah, there is no easy call here. It's a coin flip between Pollard and Aiyuk and I guess I will favor the guy, without much confidence, who is effectively playing as the home team.
Pollard>Aiyuk>Edmonds>Robinson>Henderson

They're both the upside play, that's the problem.
Really it's a gut call. The Miami secondary is banged up and they have to respond to some off field distractions ATM.
The Chargers aren't so fearsome on defense, judging by what D. Pierce did to them last week.
Ultimately I think you have a pretty decent problem here.

I have been skeptical as anyone of Goff, despite starting him myself the last two weeks (super-flex league and Jameis is my other option) but he's been as impressive as he ever was in Los Angeles. Go back and look at 2017 & 2018, he was very good. Last week he put the team on his shoulders and demonstrated tremendous poise in the face of adversity. The clock beat them, not the Seattle defense. The only real problem is his floor is a little lower than many QBs. 220 & 1 is a possibility, unlikely but possible, if the run game is clicking.
Rodgers has been as average as we have ever seen him, but the Pack is winning so I doubt he cares. And even average Aaron is still good for 250 & 2 every week (almost). And I think they get better as the year progresses.
The Giants have a slightly better pass defense on paper but the quality of opponent is important when factoring that in (Tannehill, Mayfield, Rush & Fields vs Tua, Trubisky, Lamar & Rodgers).
I think either is a good decision but Rodgers probably has a slightly safer floor and maybe higher ceiling (although not this season yet).
I think I want to see Goff on the road against the Hoodie before I am all in on him.
Rodgers>Goff but without much confidence

Is this PPR? That info is important.
I want to believe in Pickens, I really do. However Pickett's first start is in Buffalo The team giving up the fewest passing yards, they have seven interceptions and 13 sacks. It just seems brutal and hoping for garbage time stats, or spectacular OBJ one-handed grabs, is really all you have to look forward to, isn't it?
Duvernay seems like a decent receiver and should have an increased opportunity share this week. The downside is it's a low volume passing offense the upside is it's an extremely high efficiency passing offense. Baltimore seems to be able to move the ball at will and should have a lot of scoring opportunities. The fact that Duvernay may not see more than five or six targets is definitely a concern, but I don't know that it's a bigger concern than what Pittsburgh is facing in Buffalo this weekend.
It would certainly be more fun to bet on the rookie, and that is as good of a reason as any to go with him in such a highly speculative position as this one. But I think the safe play is:
Duvernay>Pickens
