Week 06 2022 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Half PPR, awkward Tee Higgins decision. Start 2WR league, Kupp is one for sure, Higgins is currently the other, only others on roster are ARSB (bye), Nuk (suspended) and Jameson (IR). If Higgins is inactive I can swap him into IR instead of BRob, cut Mattison for Boyd and be fine, but if Higgins is active, what do I do? I cannot make any roster changes until I move BRob out of IR, so would need to cut someone else on top of Mattison if we think Higgins is not worth a start. That would likely be Hockenson, and the best waiver options are the likes of Boyd, MVS, Cobb, Corey Davis, Slayton etc.

I am somewhat favoured this week but it becomes a flip if I just start Higgins regardless and get a zero, so I have some insulation against standing pat and it going wrong
 
1pt PPR need 1

Hunt
Deon Jackson
Dillon
I would love to say Jackson but I can't. He has a great opportunity here but we still don't know, for sure if the split between him and Lindsay will hold. And even if it does are 17 touches from Jackson good enough to beat 14 touches from Hunt? I think we agree Hunt is probably still the better talent. Although he is 27 with 1,000+ touches in his career, he probably isn't what he was.

The Jaguars run defense still appears better than the Patriots. They give up 97 yards/game at 3.7 ypa. The Patriots are 129 at 4.8 ypa.

Both teams have good offensive lines but I think Cleveland's is better.

I'm not considering Dillon because, despite believing a correction is still coming, last week showed his floor is very low.

It's coin toss close but:

Hunt>Jackson>Dillon

Do you have Cook? If you do than I would stand pat. I personally would not have had Nuk, Jameson and Robinson on my team but would not get rid of any since you have held onto them this long. I assume you can't cut Robinson since he has already played this week. If you don't have Cook than you might have to get rid of Mattison at some point since you structured your roster this way.
 
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.
Geno pretty strongly. Home game, great supporting talent on offense with a bad defense. It's a perfect mix.

Kirk is good for 265 & 1.5 but it's a road game and it's hot and humid in Miami today. Not as bad as the Bills game but still not good. Plus the Vikings may actually be able to control this game if Skylar Thompson isn't up to the task.

Geno>Cousins

I have no idea what Cook (James?) has to do with anything, and I have all those on my team as I have two IR slots

This is a little out of my pay grade as there are so many league considerations that I cannot know.

On the surface Mattison and Hockensen both seem like difficult drops. I imagine both would get picked up off waivers. Then again maybe not.

I think, if Higgins plays you role the dice with him. Lattimore.is out and the Saints D hasn't been as strong as expected.

If you do decide to pick up someone off the wire I kinda like Valdes-Scantling. I think that game is going to live up to the hype and there will be a buncha TDs. So why not try to capture a piece?

Having Dalvin or not is definitely a consideration for dropping Mattison or not.

Mattison is Delvin Cook's handcuff :doh:. If I had Cook I would not even consider dropping him.

It won't help you this week but I would try to trade him to the Cook owner with another player if he is strong at a position where you can improve your team.
 
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.
Pickett is still looking for his first passing TD. At least he has unlocked Pickens.

IDK how you can trust Russ, though the Chargers don’t have Joey Bosa.

At least with Jones he might get some rushing yards & a TD.

I already did and he's not interested. He's only on my roster as I picked him off waivers when it looked like Cook had injured his shoulder again

Okay fine:

I can see this is a difficult decision as the Ravens have, one of the worst pass D in the league. But the Giants have one of the lowest volume and least efficient passing offenses in the league. What's Jones' upside? He hasn't thrown a TD in the last three games. He can run for sure but he isn't Lamar or Allen or Murray he doesn't find the open guy streaking down field when he scrambles and if he does he rarely hits that guy. I like Jones as a player and think he may become a solid player for Daboll but starting him in fantasy is banking on a lot that hasn't happened for him yet.

Russ throws more often and has better talent to throw to. Despite his struggles I think he is the better call here.

Pickett may be a solid play. The Steelers secondary is decimated. I think they are down for corners and Minkah Fitzpatrick too. Pickett may have to throw 50+ times again. And he has great talent at WR. Certainly better than Jones and maybe better than Wilson. I am hesitant to recommend him with such a small body of work but, yeah I could see it.

I do think there is some coin toss going on here and if you're gut says go with Jones, or Pickett then you should. I think

Wilson>Pickett>Jones
 
TE Otton or Shultz?
Obviously Schultz has been a colossal disappointment this season but he's off the injury report and so is Cameron Brate, which makes Otton far more speculative as far as his role.

Tampa should roll the Steelers so this could be another Fournette game. But the Steelers secondary is decimated so there should be plenty of pass TD opportunities. I just don't know if Otton can expect any of them.

Beyond that, TEs not named Kelce or Andrews are random number generators.

Complete WAG:
Schultz>Otton
 
Ugly SF - Zappe or Dalton? Leaning Dalton. But with so many injuries that’s plain ugly.

Ppr - starting dalvin cook but who at the 2 - zeke, Kareem Hunt, mostert? Right now Mostert is in.
 
A week 7 D question:

* GB @WASH -- No Wentz. That may be an improvement for the Wash offense though.
* BALT vs CLE -- BALT run D better than the pass D.
* MIA vs PIT -- At home, rookie Pickett starting. Not sure if MIA gets it's top secondary guys back.
* TN vs INDY -- Indy offense horrible but I'd think J. Taylor back.
* LV vs HOU -- At home, coming off a bye.

Which?

Thanks

I would sit Dalton this week because he has a tough matchup, no WRs and you might see more Hill. I don't know if Zappe is better but at least he has his WRs and will get all the snaps.

If Mostert doesn't play I would go Hunt over Zeke because of the matchup.

Week 7 QB question -- Allen on bye (as is Kupp, so I'll be hurting)

Wentz vs GB
Brisset @ Bmore
Jones @ Jax
Fields @ NE
Mariota vs SF
Ryan @ Tenn
Winston@ AZ
Wilson @ Den

Ugh --I'm tempted to just take an "L" and not give up a position player for one of these guys. :cautious:

In a full PPR, pick 1:

CeeDee vs Eagles - Slay has consistently locked Cows #1 WR down over the past 2 seasons, and Ceedee showed up on Friday's injury report
Etienne vs Colts - snap share advantage over JRob
Doubs vs Jets - targets steadily decreasing
London vs 49ers - shadow coverage by Mooney Ward

Also,
Kirk Cousins vs Phins depleted secondary
or
Justin Herbert vs Donks

With Olave likely out I need a replacement, bye week has me pretty thin, 1 ppr:

Aiyuk vs Atl
JuJu vs Buf

With Samuel scoring a big 2.6 on TNF I need to pick the highest ceiling to have a prayer at winning this week. Neither has scored 14+ points yet, JuJu has maintained his 8 targets over the last 4 games while Aiyuk has dropped to 4 targets each of the last 2. Aiyuk is facing a weaker defense but that could just mean SF gets up early and runs heavy while JuJu at least should be in a shoot out.

Which of these turds has the most potential to put up 15+ points today?

(my gut says JuJu because of the probable game script and law of averages with his targets)

PPR and tiered TD scoring dependent on length of TD (Gabe Davis 98 yarder last week worth 25pts alone)

Pick 4:

Full PPR...might get cute and start Taysom over Higbee at TE. Good idea or no?

I'm playing Taysom and I'm playing against Higbee. Go Taysom! Seriously though your decision is pretty straight forward. Higbee has the higher floor, Taysom the higher ceiling. Which do you value more? If you are the favorite and can be conservative then go with Higbee. If you need a big game from your TE to win then go with Taysom.

1 pt PPR...Need 1 for my flex...Jakobi Meyers, London or Pickens? Currently leaning Meyers. I'm a slight favorite to win.

I can see the Broncos and Chargers primarily running the ball and limiting opportunities for Herbert. Not saying Cousins is in a smash spot, but he Phins secondary is decimated Broncos secondary is their strength. I think Cousins has the safer floor.

Are you thinking Etienne has a big game, or simply has a safer floor than CeeDee?

I just dropped JuJu so you know he'll go off. Seriously though I would take him based on the shootout potential you mentioned.
 
Here's a final last minute one of you get to it.
FFPC scoring,
Have M.Gordon Monday Night as questionable,take a chance and leave him in or start the only other healthy/non bye player I have left...T.Coleman

I just generally lean towards the running back in flex decisions where I think there's a safe floor and the WR in question isn't automatic. Lamb is a fine alternative, but with Slay on him and Dak not back yet, I'm inclined to go Etienne

I am having the exact same issue

I think I'm going with Gordon because it's theoretically a good matchup, it doesn't sound like the neck is a major issue, and it's not like we have a ton of confidence in Coleman's touches anyway

But curious to see what others say

I like Zappe here. Cleveland should score enough to keep the Patriots throwing a bit and I imagine the defensive game plan will center on stopping Rhamondre.

Dalton is nice but he's a 220 & 1.33 guy IMO, particularly with his top 3 WRs out.

Zappe>Dalton
 
Full PPR...might get cute and start Taysom over Higbee at TE. Good idea or no?
You never can tell. Taysom's efficiency metrics are off the charts and I hate that. But he's scored in 3 of 4 games and clearly has much more upside than Higbee. Also with all three top WRs out for NO this week the game plan will likely call for lots of Hill & Kamara.

Higbee is nice and will get plenty of targets but, for whatever reason those looks don't come near the end zone. In full PPR he is a much safer play though. If you need the floor definitely start him.

I like being aggressive here so:
Taysom>Higbee
