Week 05 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Standard Scoring.. 6pts all TDs

Cousins- tonight vs TB
or roll the dice
Richardson at Jax

If I go Richardson and he winds up sitting out, I have to plug in Huntley (this league not on Sleeper with their sub feature)

Cousins pretty comfortably IMO.

I like Richardson a lot but, at this point he is impossible to trust. I think he's going to be a very high variance player this season.
 
6 points for all TDs

Justin Fields v Dal
Caleb Williams v Car
Sam Darnold v NYJ in London
Give me Fields and the rushing.

I don't trust Caleb even with a nice matchup.
Jets defense is tough and I feel like the overseas travel/time zone/etc leads to some potential ugly games
 
Standard Scoring.. 6 pts all TDs

Mahomes vs NO
or
JDaniels vs Cle

McBride @ SF
or
JSN vs NYG

Thanks!
Give me Daniels. Mahommes missing his go to guy in Rice. He really hasn't been the elite fantasy QB we expect on a weekly basis in a while. Daniels rushing upside and his ridiculous passing so far is too good to pass up.

JSN. SF has apparently only given up 64 yards to tight ends the whole year.
 
Another week, another flex question.

Full PPR

Addison vs NYJ
Jennings vs AZ

I'm leaning Jennings as Jets D is good. Jennings seems to have carved out a roll in the offense this year too. His 3-88 line last week with Kittle and Deebo back still got 11.8 points, not terrible for a flex play.

Jennings led the Niners in targets last week too. With the way Purdy can hit receivers in stride on crossing routes, Jennings seems like a TD waiting to happen.

I understand the concern about the Jets D and the possibility Darnold turns back into a pumpkin.

Jennings>Addison
 
here's a head scratcher. PPR

Freiermuth vs. Dal
Jennings vs. Ari
Pittman vs. Jax
McCloud vs. TB

and just to throw in a monkey wrench

Hill vs. Cin

1st time called, long time listener.

J Jennings vs AZ

C Brown vs BAL
T Sermon vs JAX

I'm really hoping Flacco Plays.

T Kraft @ LAR
E Engram(if healthy) vs IND

Thanks and I'll hang up to listen.

Wan'Dale Robinson @ Seattle
or Tyler Allgeier vs Tampa tonight

other info: I'm starting Bijan. I have Malik Nabers (benched) as he's not practicing today (still in concussion protocol). I can start Nabers over DJ Moore if Nabers is active.
 
PPR

Fill in this week (likely) for Nabers

Worthy vs NO ( he’s currently on my roster)

Or off the FAAB waiver wire….

Downs vs Jax
Wicks vs Rams

And if a WW guy, what’s the bid? (I have $53 left of a $100 budget for the year).

TIA
I realize I'm too late on waivers.

I think I go Wicks over Worthy, but I won't fault you for going Worthy. Both pretty high ceiling, Wicks higher floor IMO.

1. Gross. I'd probably take Jennings, but I don't feel good about it

2. Sermon. Brown still in a time share at best, and Baltimore tougher to run on.

3. Kraft. If Engram is back, I'd have some amount of concern that he aggravates the hamstring injury. Make him show it to you for a game before putting him in there when you have another quality option. I'm also just not sure about his volume in the BTJ era.
 
Pick 1 in 0.5 PPR

Wicks at LAR
Stevenson vs Miami
Jennings vs Arizona
Wicks.

Don't know that you can trust Stevenson at all between the bad offense and the fumbles.
Jennings just has so much competition for targets with Deebo back and Aiyuk.
 
Based on scoring of:
1pt per 10 rush yards (5pt bonus for 151 yards), 1pt for every 5 rushing attempts, 6pt per rushing TD, Fumbles -2pt
5pt per 50 pass yards (5pt bonus for 351 yards), 1pt for every 5 completions, 6pt per passing TD, Interceptions -2pt

Baker Mayfield or Justin Fields?
 
Standard scoring

Pick 1

Fields vs Cowboys - great last week but can he do it against a pretty tough DEF?
G.Smith vs Giants - Geno doing well but this might just be a run fest
A.Rich @ Jags - if he even plays of course

Flex please rank the following (need to start 3)

B.Hall @ Vikings - yuck. Zero last week and now draws about the toughest DEF in the league. In London no less. Yuck.
D.Metcalf vs Giants - my only doubt on him is that Seattle could handle NYG just running all day
D.Achane @ Patriots - so hard to trust with Phins' woes
G.Pickens vs Cowboys - decent yardage most weeks but never scores
J.Ford vs Commanders - low end option but gets decent volume
I'm still going Fields and the rushing upside.

Flex:
Breece>DK>Ford>Pickens>Achane

I'm playing Breece every week unless he's injured.
DK has been on a heater
Achane you can't trust without Tua.
I don't dislike Pickens. Could be a game where Pit has to pass a good bit if Dallas can score early.
I go Ford over Pickens because: Washington Defense is soft. Washington offense is really good. I think the Browns will have to score, and should be able to move the ball in this one.

Wan'Dale Robinson @ Seattle
or Tyler Allgeier vs Tampa tonight

other info: I'm starting Bijan. I have Malik Nabers (benched) as he's not practicing today (still in concussion protocol). I can start Nabers over DJ Moore if Nabers is active.
Wandale if Nabers is out for sure, probably Wandale regardless.

If Nabers sits, he's likely to have 25 catches for 83 yards.

Freiermuth vs. Dal
Jennings vs. Ari
Pittman vs. Jax
McCloud vs. TB

and just to throw in a monkey wrench

Hill vs. Cin

need 2 flex and a WR
Jennings seems like a no brainer here, he led the team in targets and is playing lights out lately. I ride that train until if derails.

If Flacco gets the start this week, definitely Pittman. Probably should start him regardless as he is getting decent volume, even if Richardson hasn't figured out how to unlock him.

The last option is a coin toss but I really like how Hill is being used in the passing game and he is producing every time he gets an opportunity.

Jauan, Pittman & Hill in my book.
 
I'll start.

PPR

Terry McLaurin v CLE
Jayden Reed @ LAR
I'd say Reed by a wide margin. He's been lights out with Love, Rams secondary is bad, and Watson is out. Honestly, I think Reed might be a top-5 WR play this week.
6 points for all TDs

Justin Fields v Dal
Caleb Williams v Car
Sam Darnold v NYJ in London
I think Fields is my call, even with all TD worth 6. Dallas might be the worst defense in the NFL with no Lawrence, and likely no Parsons. Fields is playing the best ball of his career so far, and I'd prefer to avoid Darnold vs Jets, if anyone knows how to stop him its them, they spent years doing it.
Standard Scoring.. 6 pts all TDs

Mahomes vs NO
or
JDaniels vs Cle

McBride @ SF
or
JSN vs NYG

Thanks!
I think its almost impossible to sit Daniels right now, and don't see the Browns as a bad matchup.

I'd go McBride. Feels like Seattle won't be throwing a ton this week, and the Cards might be chasing a lot.
.5 PPR
Pick my Flex:
London vs TB
Stevenson vs Mia
Thomas Jr vs Ind
Wicks @ LAC

Thx
I'd go London. I get the appeal of Wicks, but London has been very consistent since the week 1 dud.
Try this one:
FFPC scoring:

How about TWO of the following flexors:

R.Doubbs @ LAR
J.Downs @ JAX
D.Mooney vs TB(Thursday)
T.Allgeier vs TB (Thursday)
T.Sermon @ JAX(if Taylor is out)
I'm expecting Taylor to miss at least this week. I'd go Sermon and Mooney. If Taylor does surprise and play, I'd pivot to Doubs.
PPR

Fill in this week (likely) for Nabers

Worthy vs NO ( he’s currently on my roster)

Or off the FAAB waiver wire….

Downs vs Jax
Wicks vs Rams

And if a WW guy, what’s the bid? (I have $53 left of a $100 budget for the year).

TIA
I get the appeal of Wicks, but I think you'll be fine going with Worthy. I think he'll be a lot bigger part of the gameplan this week, whereas last week I think they pivoted to Kelce just because it was easier.
Pick 1 in 0.5 PPR

Wicks at LAR
Stevenson vs Miami
Jennings vs Arizona
I'd go Stevenson here. Dolphins are a dumpster fire right now, so NE should be behind much if at all. I think the "benching threats" are more of a motivator than an actual plan. I'd be surprised if Stevenson didn't have at least a 60-40 edge on Gibson.

I wouldn't call Dallas a tough D at all. They are one of the worst in the NFL right now, with no Lawrence, and likely no Parsons. I'd go with Fields.

DK and Hall feel like locks, despite Hall's dud last week. 3rd spot is a toss up, I lean ever so slightly toward Achane. Dude's gotten tackled at the 1 like 4 times the last 2 weeks, they shouldn't get blown out by NE.
Pick 3 half ppr

G Wilson @MN
Wicks. @LAR
A Cooper @Wash
Mclaurin. v Cle
JSN v NYG
I'd go Cooper, Wilson, and McLaurin. Don't quite trust Wicks yet, and think JSN could fall victim to Seattle being run heavy, especially if Nabers is out, which it looks like.
PPR Need 1:

Jennings vs Ariz
Wicks vs Rams
Sutton vs LV
Downs vs Jax?
This is a scenario where I'd go Wicks.
PPR League.

The Question: Bench T. Hill this week?

I have four WR options for two slots:

* T. Hill @NE -- WIth one more week under his belt, maybe Huntley can hit on one of those 70 yarders he missed last week.

* B. Thomas vs INDY -- Honestly, there's no way I'm NOT starting him here. Great matchup. He's slowly growing into the #1WR role here.

* JSN vs NYG -- Was disappointed in his output against DET in a great matchup. Geno on fire though.

* D. Wicks @LAR -- Great matchup. Has talent. Lacks consistency. He ceiling/low floor play possibly.

Which 2?

Does Tyreek make the lineup?

Thanks
I think I'd stick with Tyreek here. Thomas is the clear other option.
Vikings defense against the jets or bears defense against the panthers?
I'd go with the Bears. Its possible I'm putting too much weight into priors, but Dalton feels likely to fizz out, and the Jets feel likely to get going a little. Pretty much a 51-49 though.
 
all TD's 6 pts, I keep flip flopping between Kyler Murray @ SF or Baker tonight @ ATL. I lean Baker with the injuries to ATL defense, but it's TNF and those have a tendency to become a doodoofest. Every metric and ratings I looked at say they are very close so possibly the same either way. Opinions appreciated.

Thanks and I'll hang up to listen.
Downs if Flacco plays, Jennings if he doesn't. You could make an argument for Jennings over Downs even if Flacco plays.

Assuming Taylor is out I don't see how you can't roll the dice on Sermon. Obviously if Taylor plays, Brown is probably the right call.

I like Kraft personally, particularly as the Jags may already have quit on Pederson.

or Tyler Allgeier vs Tampa tonight

In PPR 100% Wan'Dale. I would probably say the same even if Nabers was playing. Personally I think Nabers will miss the game.
 
Based on scoring of:
1pt per 10 rush yards (5pt bonus for 151 yards), 1pt for every 5 rushing attempts, 6pt per rushing TD, Fumbles -2pt
5pt per 50 pass yards (5pt bonus for 351 yards), 1pt for every 5 completions, 6pt per passing TD, Interceptions -2pt

Baker Mayfield or Justin Fields?
I like Baker a lot but I think you have to go with Fields facing a Dallas D that is already missing Lawrence and very likely missing Micah Parsons.
 
0.5 point PPR - pick 2

Achane (**** show team) and maybe Mostert back
Jennings (3rd wr but involved)
Zack Moss
Kareem Hunt

I don't think there is any evidence that Thursday night games have less scoring or yardage than any other games. So if you like Baker, you should start him IMO. Considering how depleted the Bucs defense is this could be a high scoring affair but don't use that as a reason to start anyone. Predicting game scripts is a fools errand.

Freiermuth vs. Dal

I'm for sure sitting McCloud.

I think Jennings and Pittman start for sure.

I think I'd go Hill. He's gotten 50 yards or more in 3/4 games.
 
Need one. 4 pt's passing TD's 6 pt's rushing TD's
Mayfield v ATL
Fields v DAL
TIA
Tough one, but I give Fields a slight edge. Dallas beat up on D and Fields is throwing the ball really well right now. With Patterson and Warren probably out, he should run a bit more too.

Bye week hell: Deshaun Watson @WAS or Daniel Jones @SEA? :x

6pt TDs, -3pt INTs
Even though I think it looks like Jones is improving weekly and looks like a guy who wants to keep his job. And I think Deshaun looks like he's just collecting a paycheck, I think I play the matchups and go with Deshaun.

But I can see going with Jones too.

Also leaning toward Watson but waiting for info on Nabers before locking it in

I doubt Nabers plays which is a big part of why I say Deshaun. Even if Nabers does play, Seattle has a better defense than Washington and the Giants have a long cross country trip.

Again, Jones is playing okay, he looks energized and he has the physical tools to have the occasional big game by accident.

lol, excellent question. I'd like to think yes.
 
R White
Javonte W
B Allen

Need to pick 1 in aPPR league.
White for sure

Then, as a Javonte owner myself, I'm feeling pretty negative about him, but I you still have to go with him over Allen

The Raiders run D has given up a solid amount of points, while the Vikings have been pretty stingy and could easily put the Jets in a negative game script that favors Breece
 
R White
Javonte W
B Allen

Need to pick 1 in aPPR league.
I think I lean towards Javonte. He's leading the backfield in snaps (56%) and touches, most importantly he seems to be the guy Payton trusts to protect Nix so I don't think he's losing his job. Flavor of the week Tyler Badie is trending out and it's a solid matchup against a vulnerable Raiders run defense. There is zero concern that McLaughlin will take over for him either.

A lot of the same can be said for White, he's seeing 67% of the snaps but that only amounts to about 15 more than Javonte and he only has three more opportunities. He is also one of the few lead backs who has been running worse than Javonte to this point. And I worry that in any given game Bucky Irving could out touch him.

Allen is a fine player but I don't like the matchup in London. I still might play him over Rachaad though.

Javonte>Rachaad>Allen
 
It's come to this in PPR

Javonte vs LV
Justice Hill @ CIN

Hill has a 15-point edge over Javonte in scoring thus far this year, but as discussed above, it does seem like a good matchup for Javonte after he finally had some rushing success on Sunday
 
Rashad White tonight against Atlanta or Chase Brown against the Ravens? Full PPR
As electric as Brown was last week it's important to note that, while he received a 40% snap share he had only three opportunities in the first half. The rest of his opportunities came when the Bengals had the lead. There is still some uncertainty to his utilization, particularly in what may be a close game or where the Bengals could be trailing.

I like Brown, he's a better talent than White but I think

White>Brown
