Screw it and find another RB on waivers. JJSS is probably worth more than Singletary.

I like Tracy if Singletary is out, it's just a great matchup on paper. If Singletary plays then, I agree that Dowdle is probably the right call and you hope for the over.
Wicks is interesting but too high variance for my liking. He feels like the kind of player where you'll lose more games chasing his big games. Then his big games will win you.

I think I told you earlier that I would drop Ford for Warren. Regardless, I don't think you're giving up necessarily too much but, there's always that nagging doubt that what if juju actually lives up to his potential and becomes Mahomes primary target?
I'm not saying don't do it because of that. I'm just saying that's something you're going to have to live with.

I lean towards Jameson as well and a big part of that is He seems to be having a minor breakout + he has as much upside as any player in the league, particularly in non-ppr format. Also, I just find him more entertaining to watch. I know that's a silly way to judge players, but sometimes that's what I do.
Jameson>Tolbert

Bump - may have been missed
Yeah the problem with Tracy is it's a Sunday night game, so unless Singletary is ruled out prior to 1 PM games, the safer play would be Dowdle. I'm a slight underdog so tempted to roll the dice with Tracy because the matchup is so great.
As a NE fan who read reports all summer on JuJu, I just can't see it. Now, the NE environment is surely not the KC environment clearly. I just think JuJu is a 5-50 guy most weeks and this past week will end up being his high water mark for the year.

I think those are good options across the board and I'm having trouble deciding which two would be best. So it's pretty much a gut call for you.
I think I would have the most trouble benching Thomas at this point. Even in a London game against a tough defense, he just seems like the primary Target in Jacksonville and for whatever reason they prefer to pass then run. The Bears are also down a couple of defensive backs.
I probably bench Mooney simply because this game could be a blowout. Obviously we have no way of knowing that but of all the games on the board that one looks to be one of the more likely to be a rout.
I think Gibson is going to get a lot of work this week as a safety valve for May + I think the Patriots want to control the clock. Does that make him a better start than Slayton? I don't know they're both kind of chasing points for you.
Thomas>Slayton>Gibson
But really it's a coin toss between the last two.

I don't see that as a no-brainer at all. What has Bijan done that makes you think he's so much better than Jacob's? If you were touches fewer yards, same amount of touchdowns. He is more active as a receiver and that's about it.
Is this redraft or dynasty?
Personally, In redraft format I keep JJ and Jacobs.
It's redraft.
Very true on Bijan. I do fear that Jacobs could break down at any moment.
Thanks
Another vote for Jamo, especially coming off the bye where they may have something schemed for him

Bit of a double dip but this one is a twister - defense standard scoring
Jets vs Bills
Broncos vs Chargers
Currently have Broncos in but like the prospect of a MNF play. Bills offense obviously depleted but its Allen. Opponent has Allen.

Broncos I'd say. More likely that DEN gets an INT or three and maybe brings one to the house. Since your opponent has Allen, if he goes off and you played the Jets D you're getting hit twice. If the Jets do well against Allen and you don't start them, it's still a win for you.

Full PPR - Need a Flex
RB Tank Bigsby at Bears in London 9:30 AM
WR Rome Udunze vs Jaguars in London 9:30 AM
RB Bucky Irving at Saints 1:00 PM
WR Jameson Williams at Cowboys 4:25 PM
RB Chase Brown at Giants 8:20 PM
I'm leaning Irving because Rachaad White is Doubtful and DNP on Thu and Fri - But he's also a Game Time Decision. Chase Brown was looking like a slam dunk, but he got some kind of Quad thing on Thursday and was LP Thursday and Friday, while Zach Moss went from looking likely Out to Off the Report with a FP on Friday. Bigsby might be the play if I knew Rachaad White was active, but I won't know that early Sunday. I guess Jameson wouldn't be a bad fall-back if everything goes sideways for Irving and Brown.
I'm 2-3 and my opponent is 0-5. What should have been a cake matchup for me now shows him with 61% chance of win, since he started Deebo on Thursday while I started Mason and Aiyuk. So really need to get this one right.

Probably the Broncos at home. Both great IRL defenses, you probably can't go wrong with either.
If your feeling Jets, go Jets for sure.

If James Cook plays, I think you have to play him. If we know he's going to be out before the Jags kickoff tomorrow, I probably pivot to Bigsby. If not stick with Cook and be ready to plug Davis in if Cook is a late scratch.
Chaka
Footballguy
I agree with you. Doubtful typically means out, even if White plays you have to imagine he'll be limited. Plus Irving looks like a legit player.
Irving>Jameson>Brown>Bigsby>Odunze
But they're all pretty close in my estimation.

In a 0.5 PPR league need one of the following WR and one of the RBs:
WR
McLaurin at Ravens or Godwin at Saints - Since Lattimore usually shuts down Evans I would typically pick Godwin here (slightly) but my opponent has Daniels as his QB. So I am leaning towards McLaurin to hedge against him and Daniels having a big game.
RB
Conner at Packers
Jacobs vs. Cardinals
I think both could do well but leaning Conner as still unsure on how much workload Jacobs might give away to others.

Bigsby. Honestly, mostly because he has less chance of giving you a goose egg.
RenegadeRoy
Footballguy
I see what you're saying RE your wide receivers but Daniels could spread the ball around and then you're in even more trouble. I think Godwin is a safe play, but TB could get up big early due to Rattler starting in NO and just go more towards a run game. I think I lean Scary Terry.
I like Conner better than Jacobs, but it's a coin toss

yes
*bark bark*
Mooney/Slayton
tracy
I haven't checked but I assume a limited all week means he will be active so Dowdle
if you at strong at WR then sure
jamo has more upside but Tolbert has the floor so I'm starting Tolbert

that's giving up a lot, if you are strong at wr I say go for it
chargers
cook or davis
brown
Slayton
McLaurin/Conner. Thank me later.

Monty. I mean, why would you risk it? The Seahawks defense may be objectively terrible against the run.
I get the notion but Monty is the #8 overall RB in PPG.
I wouldn't bench him for a shiny spec play.
Tracy may outproduce him, the Bengals D is bad, but, even if he does IMO Monty is still the right decision.
Umm Seahawks?

I'm just scared that Gibbs is gonna be the lead ff scorer... I don't know
BLOCKED_PUNT
Footballguy
it's a time share in DET and they alternate drives. Certianly the possibility exists that Gibbs out scores Monty but it's not like Monty won't get his carries. I could see where one would think that Tracy is a better play since he has the backfield to himself and you could envision the scenario where Giants just want to run it all night to keep it out of Burrows hands but I also would not be surprised if the game script is similar.
Very good analysis... In ppr,.. Im just scared of another big game out of Tracy with Devin out... Interesting situation I m in

Gut call alone but I think this is an Etienne week and I'm all in on chasing points with Slayton. But it's non PPR which changes the calculus a little but I still think I gow with
Slayton>Bigsby

I kinda like McLaurin here. Godwin see higher quality opportunities in general on the season but Mclaurin has a better matchup and Baltimore is more likely to keep offensive pressure on the Commanders.
Conner v Jacobs is mostly a push. Jacobs has the better matchup so
Jacobs>Conner

Tracy. The opportunity is too strong.
Chaka
Footballguy
Well, I do ask that people include important information like matchups and scoring system when people ask questions in here. It's in the OP. But that isn't why I referenced the Seahawks.
I referenced the Seahawks because Tracy had a big game against them and a lot of people are hoping for more of the same and I think it is important context to consider the Seahawks may have a poor rush defense when considering Tracy in their lineups, particularly when they have a top 10 RB as an option.
Monty>Tracy

I always tell people to go with their gut. If your feeling Tracy you should absolutely start him.
Ok I'm sorry brotha.. it's 1ppr and I was just trying to get a consensus from not only from you, but others like I have for many years on this beloved forum... I love you guys, I learned how to play this silly game from all of you. I like to sit back and read everybody's take on things and make my own decisions. I joined this forum in 2006 and haven't posted much ehh I'm older now... Please continue to educate me... I love interacting

I bench Zay or Pickens. Zay has a higher target ceiling and a better QB.
Pickens, is a bigger play option and you'll have to rely on that because I don't know that the Steelers are going to have to throw a ton to beat the Raiders either.
I bench Pickens.
Chaka
Footballguy
I wouldn't go with Cook IMO too much uncertainty and a tough matchup.
I really want to say Irving is a good start. But Kamara and Montgomery are top 8 backs. That's who I go with.
