Week 06 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Need 1 flex pick, standard scoring (already starting Hall, Monty and Metcalf)

C.Brown @ Giants - assuming healthy
T.Tracy vs Bengals - assuming Singletary is out or limited
G.Pickens @ Raiders - good matchup but not liking the vibe there at all
W.Robinson vs Bengals - could be good with Nabers out but also more attention
D.Slayton vs Bengals - can pick up if better option than others, would need to drop B.Allen or Kincaid

Thanks
I mean, if Singletary is out then I would start Tracy or Slayton.

If Singletary plays then I start Slayton.

Wan'Dale is probably a safe play regardless, but he also seems like a small ball kind of guy. Whereas Slayton seems to be the guy that they're using in the Nabers role.
 
I'll start:

Assuming Fields remains the starter:
Jared Goff @ Dal
Justin Fields @ LV
Fields. LV gives up the 12th most FPPG to QB's, Dallas gives up the 15th most. Fields gives you the rushing upside too. Lastly, there's always a chance Detroit dominates with the run and Goff barely has to pass it.

Assuming Fields remains the starter

Justin Fields @ LV
Calbe Williams v Jax

Flip a coin. Jax gives up the most fantasy points per game to QB's. Caleb definitely has the better matchup.
I think I'd just feel a little more confident in Fields with Caleb being kind of up and down so far this year
 
I need a JT replacement in .5PPR:

Ekeler or C.Brown?

I'm currently leaning Ekeler (especially if BRobJr is out), but am already starting three players from the game (J.Daniels, McLaurin and Henry). If the Ravens/Commies isn't a fantasy bonanza I probably don't stand much a chance regardless, though.
 
14-team non-PPR, start 2 WRs + WR/TE flex

Already down Nico/Davante. Picked up Jalen Tolbert, but with the news that Nabers is out again I also added Slayton and now I'm deciding between those two. Other possibility if he's cleared is Taysom at flex; I could see them leaning on him heavily in Rattler's first game. As an added bonus, I would have him available to fill in at TE next week on Ferguson's bye.

So the options are:

Tolbert vs Det
Slayton vs Cinci
Hill vs TB
It's probably equivalent to chasing points but I'm rolling with Slayton here. It really seems like the Giants passing game is designed to run through two guys, tops.

After that IDK, I can see an argument for both but Hill probably has the most upside.
 
Pick ONE TO BENCH: 1 point per first down, otherwise standard scoring:

- Trey Sermon @ TEN (Taylor out)
- Tyrone Tracy vs. CIN (Singletary could be out of hampered)
- Darius Slayton vs. CIN (Nabers out)
- Ray Davis @ NYJ (Cook could be out or hampered)
I think you should bump this question after we have the practice reports from today and, possibly tomorrow. We should have more clarity then.

I think it entirely depends on BRobinson. Ravens have the best run D in the league, you don't want to start a timeshare RB against them. But if you have a shot at RB1 volume then you consider it.
 
Ok fellas, another tough one here. 1/2ppr.

Tolbert v DET
Slayton v CIN

Also, I’m starting BTJ. Would you start any of the 2 above over him? Don’t love the matchup for BTJ (CHI) but I think he’s nearly must start status right now.

Thanks

Slayton IMO. Chase the points. It looks like the Giants passing offense has two reads and they see, by far the most targets.

Bears have some injuries in the secondary, I still think BTJ is the one you sit though.
 
Not loving this proposition w/ Jefferson on a Bye, Kupp injured and Nabers ruled out:

PPR Standard scoring
Tre Tucker vs Darious Slayton

Rostering Tucker but can drop and p/u Slayton or the following

Quenten Johnson also avail as are Adonai Mitchell, Polk, Rashod Batemen. Ray Ray Mcloud

Open to any all suggestions

Thank You

Slayton without hesitation.

I'm all in on him this week.
 
.5 PPR

Pick 3 from this list...can only go 2 RB's max

Go with the expectation that Singletary and Rachaad White aren't playing and Mixon is:

Trey Sermon @ Tenn
Joe Mixon @ NE
Bucky Irving @ Saints
Tyrone Tracy @ Bengals
Jalen Tolbert vs Lions
Diontae Johnson vs ATL

Could also just rank em....but if any are must starts call that out!

With those conditions; Mixon, Tracy & Diontae for me. I would consider swapping Tracy for Irving but I consider TB More of a passing team.
 
PPR flex spot

doubs vs AZ or Allgeier @ CAR?

Seems like Doubs is just going to slot back in like nothing happened, but he’s not super reliable anyway. Still he has more upside than Allgeier, but Allgeier has been getting some decent work and Carolina is horrid against the run
 
Here's some:
FFPC scoring:

TEAM A:
Need ONE Flex:
Javonte Williams vs LAC
B.Allen vs BUFF
A.Mattison vs PITT
L.McConkey @ DEN
A.Lazard vs BUFF
R.R. McCloud @ CAR
TEAM B:
Need TWO flex:
D.Swift vs JAX
T.Sermon @ TENN
J.Downs @ TENN
D.Mooney @ CAR
 
PPR flex spot

doubs vs AZ or Allgeier @ CAR?

Didn't Bijan pull up with a mild hammy in practice this week? I guess he's cleared to play but, still.

The concern with benching Doubs in PPR is the squeaky wheel principle. Watson is Q, but he isn't a target hog regardless.

It's close, I don't feel an internal consensus, all my personalities are evenly split. I encourage you to go with your gut.

ATM mine probably goes with Doubs

TEAM B:

D.Swift vs JAX
T.Sermon @ TENN
J.Downs @ TENN
D.Mooney @ CAR
Team A: Javonte, because he's a 3-down guy and is heating up and Lazard because he's apparently the apple of Favr...er... Rodgers's eye.

Team B:
Swift & Mooney because they're playing very well and Richardson is probably starting for Indy.
 
.5 ppr

Laporte @ Dallas
Kraft v AZ
Very tough call, I think Kraft because he was heating up already two weeks ago and Musgrave went to IR. I think Love trusts him and he's talented.

Love LaPorta but his preseason hype was very TD dependent. The Lions offense is just too variable to count on any one player. Honestly none of the guys we thought would be marquee (ARSB, Gibbs, LaPorta) have turned out that way yet.

Kraft>LaPorta
 
Chargers DST at Broncos
Broncos DST home vs Chargers

O/U is 35.5, Chargers are favored by 3.5

Broncos coming off a curb stomp of the Raiders, while Chargers coming off a Bye.
 
Non-PPR standard scoring league. With injuries and bye weeks, I need to start 2 of these players:

Etienne vs CHI - no injury designation this week but has been losing carries

Bigsby vs CHI - has been more productive than a banged up Etienne

Algier vs CAR - Atlanta should be able to run all day on Carolina

Pickens vs LV - losing snap share

As an FYI, I’m already starting Bijon. I’m not really liking any of these options, but do need to choose two of them.
 
I've got to try to pick 2 safe spots in what looks a real minefield this week:

1 PPR for WRs, 1.5 PPR for TEs

George Pickens @ LV (normally auto-start but now there's the snap count concerns, and is there a chance for even more discipline?)

Josh Downs @ TEN (tough D, plus it seems like Richardson and Pittman are both playing)

Tucjer Kraft vs ARI (new hotness, but can he keep up the hyper efficiency and/or grow targets?)

Jakobi Meyers vs PIT (seems safest in some ways, but assuming he plays, the ankle injury is still a cause for concern, as is the PIT defense)

Kyle Pitts @ CAR (we all know his downside)
 
FFPC/PPR, can't make a good lineup call to save my life so would like to get feedback.

Have about 20 starting lineup calls involving multiple WR's from this group so thoughts on how they'd be ranked might help me make a ton of calls.

Downs (assuming both AR and Pittman play)
Shaheed (Rattler great unknown and missing two days of practice with a hip might might mean he's playing through something)
Odunze (only one really good game but super talented, plays most snaps, great matchup)
Jeudy (Passing games a wreck but CLE should have to pass a ton and Philly has been great matchup for WR's)
 
* TB @NO -- TB D faces rookie S. Rattler. Bowles apparently notoriously good against rookie QBs and blitz a ton. That didn't work out so good against Bo Nix on the road, but maybe TB D healthier.

* TN vs Indy - TN D statistically looks like nails. They'll face A. Richardson who can turn it over and the offense may be without Taylor, Downs and of course Pittman. Could see a coming out party for TN as long as Levi doesn't give the ball away.

* NYJ vs BUF -- Usually I'd avoid the Buffalo offense, but something doesn't seem quite right with Buffalo. Allen's performance is down, Shakir could be out and so could J. Cook. Getting a get right vibe for all things Jets and this game.

Which D?
TB

McLaurin @ Bal

Slayton
Rashid shaheed against the bucs or Darnell Mooney against the panthers?
Upside is Shaheed, Mooney is safer. It depends on your matchup.
this but I'd add that if you are confident in a win then start Shaheed to maybe get extra points. If it close maybe start Mooney since you know you'll get something from him.

PPR League: Need a flex.

* R. Dowdle vs DET -- DET is tough against the run, but Dowdle seems to have taken over the backfield. High O/U here so maybe he gets it done in a high scorer.

* T. Tracy vs CINC -- Singletary banged up. Was trending in the right direction, but has been limited all week. Great matchup here. Sunday night game so would have to roll the dice not knowing Singletary's status.

* D. Wicks vs AZ -- Burned us last week, but here we are again. Doubs back. Watson possibly. Decent matchup although GB could be in rush mode against the AZ run D. Could get deep on play action.

Which?

Thanks

I don't mind playing two backs from the same team... If it's the right team. I am not sure we can call the Jags that, yet. However two weeks ago they combined for 150 yards against Houston and last week they combined for over 180 yards and two scores against Indy. The down side is they it combined for 20 & 27 opportunities in those games so you would likely be relying on high efficiency not high volume. The Bears have a strong D but they have been vulnerable to the run.

All that is to say I would either roll the dice and capture the entire output of the Jacksonville backfield or...

...Pick one of them (personally I would lean Etienne this week because I don't think he likes the talk of losing his job to Bigsby) and start Pickens.

Etienne>Pickens>Bigsby

That's probably where I land but it's complicated.

Kyle Pitts @ CAR (we all know his downside)
Pickens is still your best player IMO. I'm not buying the snap count story and he should see at least seven mediocre quality targets and hopefully one or two big play opportunities against a reeling Raiders team.

I don't like Downs with Richardson under center even if Pittman doesn't play. I need to see more from Richardson as a passer.

Don't like Meyer with an ankle facing a tough D.

I like Pitts but there is concern the Falcons control the game and limit passing. He also still is having trouble being a consistent part of the offense.

That leaves the shiny new toy and chasing points. Who has been objectively more productive than Pitts all year and now Musgrave is on IR

IMO
Pickens>Kraft>Pitts
 
PPR league. Trade question.

Picked up T. Tracy this week and it looks like he has a shot to start again. I'm tinkering with the idea of trying to lock down the NYGs backfield and trading for D. Singletary. Thought process here is, the NYG's offense is better than people think as is the D and either one of these guys could act as a nice flex or more down the stretch. Bonus: Will give me flexibility to start one or the other on Sunday night.

I'd give up: J. Ford. & JuJu

Singletary owner is mulling. I think I'm overpaying, but I'm never playing Ford again and don't think I need JuJu with T. Hill, C. Kupp (hopefully back), B. Thomas, JSN.

Another option: Hope Tracy takes over, and drop Ford for the likes of J. Warren, R. Davis, B. Corum or E. Wilson (I own Jacobs).

Go for Singletary? Or screw it and punt Ford for a RB on waivers?

Thanks

To me it's not so much about the merits of the individual players but what is surrounding and/or facing them.

I don't trust Richardson a passer to unlock Downs, especially if Pittman plays. I also think Tennessee makes opponents play ugly.

I don't trust Watson to do anything.

I don't know what to expect from Rattler.

Odunze is contending with a crowded offense but he's facing perhaps the worst passing defense in the league.

That's how it breaks down for me.

Odunze>Shahid
 
Let me take a deep breath.....
There.

FFPC scoring:

Need a QB:

Ready?

K.Murray @ GB
D.Jones vs CINN...yes,THAT D,Jones
I think I missed this one.

It does look like Jones is showing signs of life but I'm still playing Murray. He hasn't been lightning it up but we all see what he can do as a passer and a runner. Too much upside and a better overall floor than Jones IMO

Murray>Jones
 
I'd be chasing points, but in full PPR should I sit MHjr for Slayton this week?
Wow. I am all in on Slayton this week but... That's a bold move, yo.

The thing is, I can see it. I really can. The Bengals had a bad defense before the Ravens hung 41 on them. The Giants passing game definitely seems to run through only two players. Regardless of whether or not one of them is Nabers. But Are the Giants ready to take a step forward?

The Packers defense is middling and Alexander may not play (He also may). Harrison does seem to have a knack for finding the end zone but the Cardinals passing game is a little more diversified than the Giants.

Tough and bold call here...I don't think I could do it but not doing it also feels like a mistake...

MHJ>Slayton

But you really need to go with your gut on this one.
