Didn't realize Brown's snap share was so low in the 1st half, so yeah, probably safest to go White after all

I have no problem going with Hill. He's in almost a 50% timeshare for snaps with Henry (53% to 47%) but he is getting less than 50% of the RB touches.
For me I probably roll with Javonte based on the matchup but if you're feeling Hill, go for it.

I don't like Akers matchup but he's the only one in line for starter opportunities.
The matchup plays are Roschon and Bigsby.
Shockingly Allgeier has been objectively better than Bijan but the Falcons seem hesitant to put him in a full split. It's the only reason I am a little hesitant about him.
Yeah, buncha gut calls. I think I would go with
Allgeier>Roschon>Akers>Bigsby
But that's a total guess.

I wouldn't worry about Bigsby as much as I would worry the Jags may have given up on Pederson. Still it's a great matchup on paper 31st in rush attempts against and 32nd in yards. Plus he's at home.
Cooper is getting peppered with targets, eventually some are going to hit. It's also a good matchup.
I think if the Jags are going to get off the schneid it has to be this week.
Etienne>Cooper

IDK, Pitts just had a game after a slow start and no weird offseason situation, who is to say Andrews doesn't come back to form? I would prolly drop Akers before Andrews for Tyrone. Mixon is back and Akers didn't do much while he was gone.
This is why I don’t want to drop him. However, Akers is not back. I don’t believe he’s practiced all week.

Jennings, Sermon, Engram

Najee pretty clearly IMO. He's just a lesser player than your other options right now. Najee has the size, durability and toughness to suit a Steelers offense, but he's never been a particularly inspiring running back.
Also in the future, please include the matchup information.
Chaka
Footballguy
Allgeier was definitely a disappointment last night. It looked like you started off really well but then he just faded.
Tracy is a maybe for me but I recognize that he has a shiny new toy value. The problem is they have to go cross country to Seattle who has a very tough defense and an offense that can put up a lot of points. Throw in the likelihood that Nabers is going to miss the game and I don't see a lot of Hope for the Giants offense.
Roschon looked like he was on his way to something before kickoff on Sunday and then Swift did that. I think the only way Roshan is a factor is if the Bears absolutely destroy the Panthers and I don't think they're good enough to do that.
That leaves America's least favorite running back, Cam Akers. He hasn't done anything special in several years and he has a very difficult matchup on paper. The only thing I can say is that it looks like he's going to be the starting running back for an NFL team. That has value. If the Houston offense can get rolling, maybe he gets a goal line opportunity and even if he doesn't, I still think he has the best shot of your options to see 15 plus meaningful touches. Unlike the Giants and Tracy in Seattle, at least on paper, the Texans look like they can run with the Bills.
Disclaimer: trying to predict game scripts is a fool's errand but I just did.
Cam>Tracy
As far as whether or not you should drop Andrews, yeah, I could see it Tracy's an unknown commodity. Maybe he steals the job. Personally, I believe that Singletary is a Dabol guy and probably has enough leash not to lose his job unless something extraordinary happens. Then again maybe Andrews goes on and scores three touchdowns this week. That decision is all about your risk tolerance.

Is this confirmed? When I went to bed last night? He hadn't practiced all week. Did something change this morning?

He snuck in a practice after you hit the hay

This is a tough choice. Might need to wait and see if Patterson is practiced Friday first and what the weather will be in London. I know they say don't bench your studs but Chuba has been performing like one once they started to give him the ball more. I mean it was against LV and Cin in back to back games still. I am currently lowest on Breece this week.
Chuba has been feasting but going against a tough Chicago defense but they are not great against the run.
Breece against a Vikings defense that really causes chaos for offenses. I am expecting tough sledding for Breece and I don't think A Rod has a great day as their pressure has been really doing damage. Allen may steal some touches as well. Also not sure what type of field they will have in London
Josh Jacobs: I have him as a start against the rams
Najee: Cowboys lost two of their top lineman and have not been great against the run overall. Najee has not been efficient enough to fully trust and this team doesn't score enough points to just start him and forget. If no Patterson then he probably gets 90% of the carries and dump offs.

Murray and Lazard seem the obvious choices.
I do believe the jaguars will get off the schneide this week, but Murray is just too dynamic and he's been just so much better than Lawrence.
Dell seems to be the odd man out at the moment and personally I need to see him do something before he gets back in my lineup.
I like Ertz but Lazard is clearly the apple of Rodgers's eye at the moment.
Yeah I’m not sure why people think he’s back. He practiced less this week than last week. He’s not playing Sunday.
Chaka
Footballguy
ATM I start Higgins & Robinson as Nabers is trending out.
Singletary is trending out, which means even if he plays he's likely limited.
Between Hunt and Worthy it's a coin toss. Hunt will apparently see more volume but the prospect of Worthy seeing more opportunities is tempting.
I probably go with Hunt.
LionOfGosforth

Murray and Lazard imo
-OZ-

I couldn’t bench worthy unless you really needed to play it safe.
I think I’d bench hunt and singletary as at best he’s dinged up

Has to be Diontae in PPR format.
I understand not benching Achane too.
If I were to pivot from Achane, and I am not saying you should, Thomas seems to be turning into the #1 WR in Jacksonville. But that passing offense may be harder to trust than Miami's.
DJ & Achane for me
Achane, Hunt, Robinson, Wicks, dart throw your last one.
Chaka
Footballguy
Five? Seriously?
With Nabers likely out Wandale is a great option in all PPR formats.
Hunt appears to be the volume play in KC.
Can't bench Achane for any of your other options.
Not Wicks, unless you think the Pack will be down big at any point. That certainly could happen but I doubt it. HOWEVER if Doubs misses the game then Wicks is an interesting option.
Probably not Tucker. I like him but it's a tough road matchup and I don't trust the Raiders passing game.
Probably not Tracy because I believe Sigletary is supposed to be back at practice today. Even if he wasn't it's a tough call with him on a long cross country trip, against a tough Seahawks defense and an Seahawks offense that can put up a lot of points (nullifying the Giants run game) with Nabers likely out leaving less for the Seahawks defense to worry about.
That leaves Shahid & Worthy in the final two spots.

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.Bye week hell: Deshaun Watson @WAS or Daniel Jones @SEA?
6pt TDs, -3pt INTs
But I can see going with Jones too.
Well Nabers is officially out, but, now looking at Watson @WAS or potentially picking up Flacco @ JAX if Richardson is Out... still

0,5 PPR - Pick 2 - I know Achane should be a no brainer but Miami has been a mess and Mostert is probably back. Don’t think Miami runs many plays in a slow defensive game.
Sermon vs Jax
Hunt vs NO
Achane vs NE
Jennings vs Arizona
Sermon vs Jax

Nabers officially out. How high do you push Wan'Dale for Week 5 in non-PPR? with PPR he's at least a WR2 in targets alone, but in non-PPR it's a crapshoot. My entire receiving corp is a bunch of WR3/4s with maybe WR2 upside, so what would you do here. Pick 3 of:
DJMoore v CAR
McLaurin v CLE
X Worthy v NO
Wan'Dale @ SEA
For this context let's assume Wan'Dale's status is healthy, I know he's got some groin thing that I am ignoring until game time news that says i should be concerned. TIA.

Non PPR - Moore and McLaurin for sure as they are #1’s…..other 2 are toss up but I’d give Worthy a chance as more upside.

Footballguy
I start Achane but I get it.
Kittle has been missing practice so monitor that. If Kittle is out definitely Jennings. If Kittle plays I still go with Jennings, he's been a hot hand and led the team in targets last week too.
If you're definitely down on Achane then Sermon & Hunt are probably decent volume plays. Sermon has a better matchup so I guess I would lean that way.
Achane>Jennings>Sermon>Hunt
Chaka
Footballguy
Yeah, probably. He's just the better player.

I need one of these RB's to sit out this week:
Achane @ NE (16th easiest vs RBs)
J Williams vs. LV (8th)
Sermon @ Jax (7th)
Connor @ SF (13th)
I'm actually considering sitting Achane based on the matchups (Achane & Connor have started for me each week so far). My gut tells me Williams based on the performance thus far, but his matchup at home in Denver is arguably the easiest of the four.

I start DJ and McLaurin without question.
Worthy is all about how you view Rice's absence. I like Wan'Dale a lot but that offense can struggle to find the end zone. I might take the die roll with Worthy.
Worthy>Wan'Dale
Chaka
Footballguy
I understand that a lot of people are considering sitting Achane. I can't blame any of them. Personally I probably start him and it would come down to benching Sermon or Javonte. But I am not sure which I would pick. I would probably start Javonte because he's at home and he is more involved in the passing game than Sermon will be.
But benching Achane isn't entirely crazy at this point.
PPR.
This is the question of the week:
* Tyreek or D. Wicks?
It's come to this.
R. Doubs is listed as doubtful for personal reasons. That narrows the target tree a bit more for Wicks.
Every key metric I see about the LAR perimeter pass D is terrible. This is such a good matchup it feels like a trap.
As for Tyreek, we know what's up here. Does seem like the NE D is more banged up in the secondary with J. Peppers and K. Dugger banged up. That said, there's a reason for the O/U on this game at like 35. Yup, Huntley could have hit him for two bombs last week...but he didn't.
Man this is tough.
Which?
Thanks

The Doubs news makes this interesting. I was under the impression that he would be back.
But, if he's out I have no problem starting him over Tyreek. But, you have to understand that Tyreek knows when people bench him and he'll make you pay.
If Doubs is out:
Wicks>Tyreek
Lol. I bet.
I also wonder if Gonzalez will shadow Tyreek. He's held his own vs other #1s all year. However, he's more of a lankier type so maybe NE doesn't shadow.
I think it may come down to Doubs out = Wicks in = Tyreek out.
