Week 06 2022 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (2 Viewers)

[Chaka]

TE question - I see Everett's donut last week as an aberration, rather than a trend. However, it did give me pause for thought and his production tends to depend on Allen being out. Would you roll him out again or look to the FA pool? I could pick up Dissly or Hurts instead?

Hurst is a decent option for sure but, realistically even if Keenan does play it really seems like he will be limited.

Ultimately decisions between players of this tier it's all just a wild guess. One good argument for Hurst is that New Orleans receiving defense seems to be notably worse than Denver's. It's still a good D but they have given up 6 receiving TDs to 3 for Denver, 12.3 vs 9.6 yards per completion and about 21 more yards per game. Other than that they are relatively similar players. You could make the same argument for Dissley but he is definitely a little more TD dependent than the other two.

Too close for me to call. Really about where you want to plant your flag.

 

[Chaka]

Defense question.

* GB vs NYJ -- They failed me last week as a NYG's team with zero weapons other than Barkley managed to move the ball. This D is universally ranked top 5...which is surprising. NYJs aren't your father's NYJs. They have weapons. Could see them moving the ball. And, the data says that teams coming back from London don't do so well the next week.

or

* BALT vs NYG -- The data says the BALT D isn't so hot, but I think that may be a bit deceptive. Looked pretty solid keeping a BUF offense off track a bit. Think Barkley will have a tougher time running on this D and it looks like D. Jones is minus weapons again this week.

Which?

Thanks

I think we may have reached a point where we need to stop underestimating both New Jersey teams (if you play your games in New Jersey you're from Jersey).

What I like about Baltimore is their defense is terrible against the pass but that seems to lead to a lot of INTs. They lead the league with 8, so maybe from a big play perspective they aren't a bad call.

90%+ of all defenses are random number generators. I have no problem with the idea of starting Baltimore over Green Bay.

That being said, if it was my lienup:
GB>Balt

They're just a better defense from a scoring and yardage perspective.

 

[notoriousbill]

Flex (PPR):
Pollard
Etienne
Ju-Ju SS

Have Pollard in there now.

 

[Demian]

Same as last week:

Pick 1 in PPR

Pickens vs TB
or
Duvernay @NYG

 

[kyoun1e]

TE question. PPR league. One of many Pitts questions I'm sure.

*K. Pitts vs SF -- Questionable. Assume he plays. He could be a decoy. Could be blocking. Gotta think ATL tries to run, run, run. Is this really a game where Pitts could hit that ceiling and you regret sitting him?

* H. Hurst @NO -- Higgins may play. However, NO is tough against TEs. Has been getting the targets. No Lattimore either so maybe Burrow has a breakout game.

* T. Hill vs CINC -- Yeah, chasing points. But, Dalton under center, M. Thomas and Landry out. Should get packages/touches.

Which?

Thanks

Hill by far.

 

[Chaka]

Flex (PPR):
Pollard
Etienne
Ju-Ju SS

Have Pollard in there now.

You are facing a tough decision. I agree about Pollard. I think his breakaway speed and ability to make something happen in space is going to be important if the Cowboys are going to have any shot in this game.

JuJu is intriguing if you think KC v BUF is going to be similar to the playoffs last year. It probably will come close so there is an argument to start all your Chiefs & Bills.

Etienne is still a hold for me. I like what seems to be happening but I don't know that a ton of opportunities are really in store or not. I also don't like the matchup.

Pollard>JuJu>Etienne

 

[Chaka]

Same as last week:

Pick 1 in PPR

Pickens vs TB
or
Duvernay @NYG

I'm gong to say Pickens because I think most of us are hoping to be right about him. He has a tough matchup and still may not even be the #2 option in the passing game (yet) but you have to figure Pittsburgh is going to be playing from behind most of the day so there should be some opportunities.

Duvernay is playing well but he simply isn't in line for even 8 targets, let alone double digits (something we can all see happening for Pickens probably sooner than later). He isn't a big yardage guy and seems dependent on TDs.

ETA: I still stand by this even with Bateman officially out.

Pickens>Duvernay

Tyreek all day every day and then the next day too.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

10-team PPR. Deciding on RB2 and flex. Which two of these three would you play?

Zeke @ PHI
Henderson vs. CAR
Kittle @ ATL

 

[Neal Cassady]

.5 PPR…Need 2 of these 4 guys:

Chris Godwin at PITT
Diontae Johnson vs Tampa
Michael Pittman vs Jax
Miles Sanders vs Dallas

Godwin has best matchup but isn’t 100% healthy (52% snaps last week). Johnson has worst matchup of the 3, but Pickett had 52 attempts last week. Pittman has decent matchup, but their offense is abysmal. Sanders could be decent if they play from ahead and he gets 18-25 carries. I start Hurts and Goedert though, so 3 guys against Dallas feels wrong.

TIA

 

[Chaka]

10-team PPR. Deciding on RB2 and flex. Which two of these three would you play?

Zeke @ PHI
Henderson vs. CAR
Kittle @ ATL

Is Akers out? If not:

Not Henderson, easy decision. As a guy who drafted Henderson, he was my first drop for a reason. He is so non-startable I feel it is more informative to write about how it's not worth doing a write up about why not to to start him, or to start the other guys because the answer is always "Start the other guys."

ETA: Okay, never mind. Let me think about it.

 

[Chaka]

10-team PPR. Deciding on RB2 and flex. Which two of these three would you play?

Zeke @ PHI
Henderson vs. CAR
Kittle @ ATL

Okay, take 2:

I think you definitely need to start Henderson. It's crazy but Akers had nothing to do with the likelihood of the Rams beating the PJ Walker led Panthers. Obviously no promises but how can we not anticipate a bunch of running out the clock? Also bad offensive lines are typically better at trying to run pick than pass protect because it's more mano-a-mani. Besides Malcolm "0 opportunities" Brown is the only other RB to siphon off touches this late in the week.

It's a huge gamble but, personally, I have always seen Henderson as a better back than Akers so I would roll with him.

Kittle v Zeke is tougher.

IMO Kittle is a better football player at this point than Zeke. I also think he is getting healthier every week. But, I think he is also a good blocker and, with Trent Williams out, and the possibility the Niners control most of this game h may not get much more than six targets. He can probably do a lot with that but, still...

Zeke is a volume play here, with maybe 15-18 opportunities. But I'm not convinced his skill set has much upside against Phili in Philly. He may win the real game by grinding for 3.4 yards per carry and shortening the game, but does he have any yardage or PPR upside? IDK, he feels massively TD dependent in magic football this week.

It's very close between Kittle and Zeke so flip a coin but I think, very tentatively:
Henderson>Kittle>Zeke

Have Pollard in there now.

Keep it going with Pollard. Don't really trust the Jags right now and not sure I'd even keep juju on my roster depending on what's on the waiver.

Same as last week:

Pick 1 in PPR

Pickens vs TB
or
Duvernay @NYG

Pickens for floor, duvernay for ceiling.

TE question. PPR league. One of many Pitts questions I'm sure.

If I were a Pitts owner I would be trying to move him for a first next year. He's not happening on this team. But I'm not a Pitts owner. Hurst is the third piece in that offense and sometimes he's the fifth. If Burrow breaks out it's chase he breaks out with, not Hurst. I'm not sure he's your guy. Which leaves Hill. He could see no touches. He could throw for three tds. After last week I'm chasing points.

10-team PPR. Deciding on RB2 and flex. Which two of these three would you play?

Zeke @ PHI
Henderson vs. CAR
Kittle @ ATL

Henderson is starting for me. He's guaranteed to be targeted in the passing game at least. Zeke will get touches but you need him in the redzone for them to matter. Does Dallas get in the redzone this week? Kittle I have no faith in, but I don't think he's actually healthy yet.

.5 PPR…Need 2 of these 4 guys:

Chris Godwin at PITT
Diontae Johnson vs Tampa
Michael Pittman vs Jax
Miles Sanders vs Dallas

Godwin has best matchup but isn’t 100% healthy (52% snaps last week). Johnson has worst matchup of the 3, but Pickett had 52 attempts last week. Pittman has decent matchup, but their offense is abysmal. Sanders could be decent if they play from ahead and he gets 18-25 carries. I start Hurts and Goedert though, so 3 guys against Dallas feels wrong.

TIA

Godwin is an auto start in any ppr until Brady finds someone else who he wants to move the chains. Even on one leg. He's the new Edelman. I don't have a read on what to make of Pittsburgh and their passing game right now. Pittman has been nowhere while Matt Ryan craters. Do we feel comfortable with him actually seeing more of the ball than the rookie at this point? Which means I say your best other choice is Sanders, have to feel like either the eagles dominate the game and your whole team explodes or you go zeros across the board.

Two week Def fill-in for Buffalo:
Options available -

Ravens @NYG + CLE
Jags @Indy + NYG
Bengals @NO + Atl


This week have Pierce+Higgins (likely out) and playing a team which headlines Allen - so a slightly higher importance on this week. Can always stream after this weekend.

12 team PPR…Flex question

Rondale Moore against Seattle…Trending up and great matchup.

or

Melvin Gordon against the Chargers…..Revenge game…One fumble away from being benched.

 

[Mongidig]

10-team PPR. Deciding on RB2 and flex. Which two of these three would you play?

Zeke @ PHI
Henderson vs. CAR
Kittle @ ATL

I would think Zeke struggles on the road in Philly.

Henderson should get volume and some points just don’t watch. That run game is ugly.

Kittle could blow up at anytime.

Kittle and Henderson are my starts.

 

[Mongidig]

Horrible QB choice time

Justin Fields vs WAS on Thursday

Russell Wilson @ LAC on Monday

I'm thinking it's still Russ?

I tried to pick up Fields to play ahead of Russ but failed. I now have the choice of Russ vs Zach Wilson. Russ has played one game this year where it was obvious that many points would be scored and put up 33 fantasy points against the Raiders. He’ll have to score against the Chargers. My concern is the shoulder injury and the Monday night game. It sounds like he’s good to go but who knows. I do think that Zach Wilson will be sneaky good the rest of the way.

 

[Wrigley]

Dobbins @ NYG
Etienne @ IND
Henderson va CAR

 

[Chaka]

.5 PPR…Need 2 of these 4 guys:

Chris Godwin at PITT
Diontae Johnson vs Tampa
Michael Pittman vs Jax
Miles Sanders vs Dallas

Godwin has best matchup but isn’t 100% healthy (52% snaps last week). Johnson has worst matchup of the 3, but Pickett had 52 attempts last week. Pittman has decent matchup, but their offense is abysmal. Sanders could be decent if they play from ahead and he gets 18-25 carries. I start Hurts and Goedert though, so 3 guys against Dallas feels wrong.

TIA

Good logic all around.

I think Godwin is probably a good option tomorrow, particularly with the news that Minkah Fitzpatrick AND apparently their top four CBs will be out too. Between them they account for 18 of 30 PDs, 7 of 8 INTs and 86 of of 354 solo tackles or assists. Start your Bucs.

I have been skeptical Pickett will throw another 52 passes this week but, considering how ineffective the run game has been and how banged up the secondary is he may have to. Even if he doesn't throw 50+, which he may, mid 40s seems like a lock and Dionte is still the lead target in Pittsburgh. He's probably in line for 9-11 with a little room for more.

I'm not sure how to read the IND v JAX game but Pittman doesn't seem likely to see more than 8 targets, which is a respectable number and he can put up a big day with it but, to me he seems to have a lowish floor relative to Godwin & Dionte.

I probably sit Sanders too as I think you are stacking a lot against an excellent defense that doesn't give up a lot of points. Sanders also isn't generally useful as a receiver. But it is important to note that Sanders gets volume, he has been very effective and the Eagles are getting starting tackle Jordan Mailata back too. I could definitely see starting him this week but:

Godwin>Dionte>Sanders>Pittman

 

[Chaka]

Dallas d vs the eagles
Or
Pats d vs Cleveland

Ppr
Start
Kirk v indy
Pittman v jags

Also do I flex
Singletary v kc
Kirk or Pittman
Everett v den

And lord help me I'm starting Higbee and Taysom Hill.

Lots of difficult decisions but not terrible ones either.

The bottom line for the defenses is Dallas has been a better defense by every metric. Cleveland is a good enough offense and Brissett is smart enough with the football that the possibility of any yardage or scoring bonus is low. You have to count on turnovers & sacks where Cleveland has been a little bit better than Philly.

Dallas>NEP

Pittman v Kirk is probably a coin toss but, for me I think Pittman is the better talent and the Jags are currently reeling. They have been downright terrible the last two games. I need to see them rally and show they are not last year's Jags before I can trust them again. I think Indy, on 10 days rest, wins so:

Pittman>Kirk

Last call is also tough. To me it probably comes down to Singletary v Kirk. I think Kirk rebounds some, mostly because it can't get much worse than the last two games. But how much? Maybe 7-9 targets, which would be nice but I could also see 5-6 targets.

Singletary is unquestionably the #1 RB in Buffalo and he's more involved in the passing game than last year. During that epic playoff game last season the Bills only ran their RBs 10 times, all Singletary. But he also had 5 targets. He didn't put up much yardage but 4 receptions, 51 total yards and a TD was a solid outcome. I wish his usage wasn't so all over the place every week (10, 9, 20, 16, 8) BUT his low volume games were all blowouts (Rams, Titans, Steelers 110-20). His high usage games (Dolphins & Ravens 42-41) were very close games. This probably won't be a blowout.

Singletary>Kirk>Everett

That's Taysom Hill, not Tyreek. I sure wish I had Tyreek as an option here!

Lol! Thought that was an odd one.

I hate chasing points and I hate ultra-high efficiency performances. ATM Hill is pace to score 26 total TDs on only 94 touches! That's insane. But he's scored a TD in 3 of 4 games which is admirably consistent and a touch more realistic (13 TD pace) and he clearly has stupid upside.

If you want safety without much upside, go with Hurst but me:

Taysom>Hurst>Pitts

Really a WAG but I can't trust Jacksonville ATM.

The Ravens get a lot of picks but not much of anything else.

I like Cincinnati as a balance of good talent + decent matchups.

However, I still start Buffalo this week. They are the best D in the league and have 16 sacks & 8 picks. They always have the potential for a big play. If I am going to lose a wager, I do it with my best players on the field.

 

[kyoun1e]

Defense question.

* GB vs NYJ -- They failed me last week as a NYG's team with zero weapons other than Barkley managed to move the ball. This D is universally ranked top 5...which is surprising. NYJs aren't your father's NYJs. They have weapons. Could see them moving the ball. And, the data says that teams coming back from London don't do so well the next week.

or

* BALT vs NYG -- The data says the BALT D isn't so hot, but I think that may be a bit deceptive. Looked pretty solid keeping a BUF offense off track a bit. Think Barkley will have a tougher time running on this D and it looks like D. Jones is minus weapons again this week.

Which?

I think we may have reached a point where we need to stop underestimating both New Jersey teams (if you play your games in New Jersey you're from Jersey).

What I like about Baltimore is their defense is terrible against the pass but that seems to lead to a lot of INTs. They lead the league with 8, so maybe from a big play perspective they aren't a bad call.

90%+ of all defenses are random number generators. I have no problem with the idea of starting Baltimore over Green Bay.

That being said, if it was my lienup:
GB>Balt

They're just a better defense from a scoring and yardage perspective.

Really struggling with the GB D. I mean...they STUNK against a NYG offense with zero weapons outside of Barkley.

Also, Cinci did next to nothing last week (although their offense is moving along like the LARs these days).

Was just looking at some BALT D box scores. In week 4, they held J. Allen to a measley 213 yards passing and 1 - 1. Diggs held down too. Seems like all the bad PA data for Baltimore was piled up in that fluky Miami game. Wonder if the heat had something to do with it.

I don't know. Leaning BALT, but may hang on to GB with Wash next week minus Wentz.

 

[Chaka]

12 team PPR…Flex question

Rondale Moore against Seattle…Trending up and great matchup.

or

Melvin Gordon against the Chargers…..Revenge game…One fumble away from being benched.

In four games against the Chargers Gordon has 61 touches for 268 total yards and zero TDs. So much for revenge.

I like the way Rondale is trending and love, love, love the matchup.

Rondale>Melvin

 

[Chaka]

Dobbins @ NYG
Etienne @ IND
Henderson va CAR

PPR? Very important for this one.

Why scratch Etienne? Did something happen?

Either way I think Henderson is the call. A lot of us think he is simply better than Akers and he's definitely involved in the passing game. With no competition on the roster other than Malcolm Brown and a plus matchup, I think he is the clear call. Especially in PPR

If it's standard scoring maybe Dobbins factors in a bit but his usage still seems up & down so it's pretty much banking on a TD.

Henderson>Dobbins

A trend I noticed is defenses who dont take their bye after the London games go Over. Each team has the option to take their bye after London. Minn and NO also didn’t take it last week and gave up a lot of yards. I think VSIN has the trend at 7-1 to team overs.

The logic is fine. If you're sold on Balt then absolutely go for it.

The Jets have been surprisingly good so far. They have a lot of skill position talent.

 

[Chaka]

Pick a QB - 6 point passing TD

Russell Wilson at LA Chargers (Monday night)
Jimmy Garoppolo at Atlanta
Trevor Lawrence at Indianapolis

Difficult to really give the edge to anyone here.

I think Wilson is still the best option. The Chargers are 30th in the league in points against and 9th in points scored. Wilson has good skill position talent around him, not great without Javonte but still good. And I am not sure Gordon, Latavius & Boone will be able to control the game enough to take the pressure off Wilson.

Atlanta can also score and they give up points but, you just kind of feel the Niners have a good opportunity to control this game. Jimmy could put up 250 & 2, but 220 & 1 seems a little more likely.

Indy has played most of the season without Shaq Leonard so his absence does not account for how solid the Colts have been on defense. This also feels like the lowest scoring game out of the three plus Lawrence and the Jags have really regressed.

PPR league, I need two of these guys:

Romeo Doubs v NYJ
Deon Jackson v Jax
Tevin Coleman @ ATL

Doubs=Jackson right now in PPR, and both over Coleman. As I said above, I’m considering Jackson over Doubs in Standard…..I’m sure I’ll pick the wrong one

 

[JIslander]

Just picked up Colts Deon Jackson before my opponent whom had J. Taylor --thoughts on Jackson vs Pollard or London in flex standard? Not that it matters too much, but I'll be playing JAGS defense.

You are not getting consistent advice here but put me in the doubs/jackson camp. Rookie is back for the 49ers so that backup rb position is a little more muddled

Jackson and Doubs for me. Coleman has some junk time potential, but prefer the two others

 

[Wrigley]

Dobbins @ NYG
Etienne @ IND
Henderson va CAR

PPR? Very important for this one.

Why scratch Etienne? Did something happen?

Either way I think Henderson is the call. A lot of us think he is simply better than Akers and he's definitely involved in the passing game. With no competition on the roster other than Malcolm Brown and a plus matchup, I think he is the clear call. Especially in PPR

If it's standard scoring maybe Dobbins factors in a bit but his usage still seems up & down so it's pretty much banking on a TD.

Henderson>Dobbins

.5 ppr


I crossed Eiienne because you’d told me to play Dobbins earlier, Akers threw a wrench into things

 

[Neal Cassady]

I would play Doubs and Jackson.

Just picked up Colts Deon Jackson before my opponent whom had J. Taylor --thoughts on Jackson vs Pollard or London in flex standard? Not that it matters too much, but I'll be playing JAGS defense.

Jackson looked pretty good last week against a very tough defense on the road. The downside is he only out opportunitied Lindsay 17-15. The upside is he outsnapped Lindsay 46-30 (58%-38%). So, there is likely more of the playbook open when Jackson is on the field than Lindsay.

That being said both Pollard & London are better players than Jackson. The question is does opportunity trump talent? Unfortunately there is no easy answer, particularly when Pollard & London are facing two excellent defenses.

I am of the opinion that the Eagles game shapes up more for Pollard and his speed/suddenness combo more than for Zeke IF it turns into a game where Dallas needs to catch up or keep pace with the Eagles offense. If it's a low scoring, defensive game I imagine the Cowboys will lean heavily on Zeke to grind yards and clock.

The Falcons passing game runs through London and, allegedly, Pitts. London should see maybe 8 targets or so and the Niners are down at least Arik Armstead & Javon Kinlaw on the defensive line and possibly Bosa (check the early inactives). So, maybe Atlanta can make a game of this.

Personally I have Deon Jackson in my lineup HOWEVER, I lost Javonte, Elijah Mitchell and Swift/Williams are on the bye so it's not as if I'm doing it because I love Jackson. My other option is Tevin Coleman and I am still seriously considering him. There is no reason a 2nd year RB cannot have a breakout, particularly a 6'0", 220 lb guy who ran a 4.41 at the combine. The Jags appear to be reeling but I think Pederson has the ability to calm this team down and get them to show up and play hard again.

All of this is taking a lot of words to say, I honestly have no earthly idea so I think I would go with the guy I think will get the most opportunities. But, seriously I have no strong opinion here.

Jackson>Pollard>London

Thanks for this Chaka!

NP.

Wish I could be more helpful.

 

[dmac37]

1pt PPR need 1

Hunt
Deon Jackson
Dillon

 

[Moonlight]

Both of these are good starts but need to choose between

Geno Smith at home vs Arizona or
Kirk Cousins on road vs Dolphins

Right now I have Geno in.

 

[hamsterdam]

Danny Dimes @ BAL

Russ @ LAC

orrr...

Pickett vs TB @ home - bad matchup but I think this could be a sneaky start tbh, but the most risky.
