[djjosee]

Caleb William @ WAS
Purdy vs Dallas

Both should be high scoring.

Thx

PPR league. Redraft. Trade question. Kinda pinged you on this Chaka before.

* I GET: R. Stevenson
* I GIVE: C. Hubbard

Rationale for Stevenson: Maye providing a spark, schedule opens up after NYJ and TN.

Rationale against Hubbard: While he has a couple good matchups on tap the next two weeks if CAR completely craps the bed against DEN he'll be unsellable. There's also a chance Dalton's sprain is more severe so B. Young would continue to start taking the offense (not to mention Dionte gets traded?). After the bye week they have KC, TB, @PHI. And of course, while it's possible J. Brooks doesn't see the field, well, he could.

In short, I see more value with Stevenson the rest of the year vs. Hubbard.

Thoughts?

My thought is I think you really want to trade Hubbard. So you probably should.

Between Dowdle & Rhamondre I might risk it with Dowdle. Just based on the notion he is on a significantly better offense.

Yeah just realized I play the Dowdle owner next week and with Chubba facing NO I think I'll pass.

Rhamandre owner is interested. On the fence now. Just realizing Stevenson not getting cheap passes out of backfield. Was all Hasty last week.

Ugh.

Caleb has a little more around him right now, plus he’s from the DC area. Slight lean to him. I think the SF game may be set up more for Mason.

WR/FLEX question, .5PPR

Need two WR's at minimum, and 2 open FLEX spots RB or WR

In order that I have them now -
Diggs
DJ Moore
Brian Robinson Jr
Monty
Cooper

For me it's Cooper in Seattle - crappy wet weather but good spot to get some targers
OR Monty vs TENN which have shown they are stingy on D

Look, you have a lot of nice options. I am more of a Monty fan boy than most so if you think he is the odd man out, I support that.

I might bench Robinson or Amari, personally. But there is a lot of back and forth here.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

RB : Achane versus Arizona or Taylor versus Houston (half PPR, 5 bonus for 100 rushing)
TE Kraft versus Jax or Ferguson versus SF (half PPR)

TE Kraft versus Jax or Njoku versus Baltimore (half PPR, 5 bonus for 100 receiving)

TIA!

Achane IMO. Just a hunch the Miami offense is going to have a big day.

Kraft over Ferguson because of the matchup.

Njoku over Kraft because he may get 50 targets.

PPR

Terry McLaurin v Chi
Jayden Reed @ Jax

Mariota may start but Mclaurin has thrived with substandard QB play his whole career. Chicago may be down two starting DBs.

Reed is facing one of the worst pass Ds in the league.

Have Reed in right now.

Personally, I’d like Reed no matter the QB. Not by a huge margin but with any doubt on Daniels finishing the game, I’d go with Reed 100%.

Still going back and forth on

Jordan Mason v Dal

Taylor first game back against a tough matchup.

I think I'd go Mason. Could be his last game starting if CMC back week 10. Bet he goes out with a bang against a DAL run D that has been wretched. Could lean even more on the run with Aiyuk gone, Jennings out, Deebo iffy.

JAX secondary terrible.

4pt/PaTD league am I starting Goff, Tua (with my Waddle and maybe even Achane stack) or Bo Nix for the rushing upside vs a horrendous panthers defense. Vegas is telling me that Bo is has the highest point total.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league.

In the case where T. Hill (questionable) pulls a fast one, I'll need a flex:

* C. Hubbard @Den - Bad matchup. Bryce. No Dionte. Blah Blah Blah.

* T. Tracy @PIT -- Bad Matchup. D. Jones. Singletary not dead.

* S. Sheppard vs ATL - On the wire. Everyone talking McMillan. Could be be the play?

Need upside. Projections show a high scoring opponent.

Which?

Thanks

Depends on your risk tolerance. Tua probably has the upside. Goff and the Lions should be in a similar situation as Nix with, on paper a seemingly easy win.

I think Goff is the middle ground here. He may only throw 18 times but, if that's the case I'd bet he'll break 200 yards with two TDs.

Tua could throw five, or get knocked out after a minute.

Goff>Nix>Tua

Unless you're targeting ceiling.

Hubbard and I don't think twice. He's a lock for the touches, weak as they may turn out to be.

Going Reed.

Final answer.

No wrong answers to this one. I just like the matchup more.

 

[BassNBrew]

QB - Williams or Goff (scoring is 4 per pass TD and 1/25 pass yards)

Pick 3 in ppr - Hubbard, Swift, Bateman, LaPorta, Ferguson, Pitts (one must be a TE).
Should I drop McPherson for Dicker, Bass, or Lutz this week? If it's close I assume Dicker because he's past his bye?

 

[shadrap]

I am an underdog this week. PPR league who would you start at flex?

JSN with Metcalf likely out against Buffalo
Chubb against Baltimore

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Goff but I am not loving how this game looks on paper. Goff should still be good for 200+ and maybe 2 TDs but I wouldn't be surprised to see 0-1 TDs either.

I like Williams this week against a middling Commanders D.

I like stacking Williams with Swift plus he's playing like the RB Chicago thought they were getting.

If you go with Goff I might stack LaPorta but I think Pitts is the right call. He has warmed up over the last three games and it's probably the best matchup.

For your third, I am a big Hubbard fan. He is definitely the volume play. Seriously, who else is getting the ball? The Broncos know it but Chuba could still have a modest day, and maybe he gets lucky.

If you're not loving that I definitely go with Bateman. I could easily argue him over Chuba. I don't think there is a WR in the league that will see less dedicated coverage than Bateman. Between Henry, Lamar, Zay and the TEs how much time to DCs spend worrying about Bateman?

 

[JoeJoe88]

Soooo…with DK out and now Tee, I’m down to these options for my WR2 for the week: full PPR

Rashod Bateman(Cleveland)
Dontayvion Wicks(Jaguars)

Both pretty good matchups. I guess Bateman has the better floor but Wicks probably the higher ceiling. But Wicks feels way more volatile. I’ve got Bateman in there at the moment.

I really hate that Baltimore pass offense, tho. Are they gonna need to even throw that much vs. Cleveland?

I suppose if you think youre favored Bateman makes mire sense on paper, but....meh.

Javonte Williams vs Car
Kamara vs LAC

Yeahhh I’m not either. And to think, this could all have been avoided if I could’ve just pulled the trigger on Puka Thursday smh

Had I known DK and Tee were going to miss it would have been an easy decision

I agree. Reed ion a bounceback game agianst an awful Jax... defense....ESPECIALY in ppr.

Yuk...can I say yuk? I swear I would rather have Nix this week. I suppose Goff who has better overall weapons.

Waddle

 

[da_budman]

Jake Ferguson at SF

Or

David Njoku Vs. Baltimore

PPR league

Njoku is probably a top 5 te for the foreseeable future....especially against a Balt team who gives up a ton to TEs.

 

[da_budman]

1/2 ppr
Kamara against a tough Lac defense
dobbins in the same game vs NO
mason vs dallas at sf
hubbard vs denver
need 3

qb
dax vs purdy in SF
assuming kittle and debo both play

Im leaning chubba as the rb on the bench but thats tough for me because he has been so consistant and Im leaning Purdy at home but keep flip flopping at qb

I am a solid favorite to win if that matters to anybody

Williams if he plays. not sure the matchups but with the info given I would take Pitts or ferguson as the te along with hubbard and swift.

I dont factor byes into kickers since I stream them anyway plus I dont see 1 or 2 of the non streaming kickers on your list. I like Lutz on a team that doesnt have a great offense but a really good defense against a pure awful carolina team from your choices.

I don't know Wicks has the higher ceiling. Bateman has a much higher ypc, has 7 more receptions on eight fewer targets, with only one less TD. He's just getting much better looks. Love has not been a better passer than Lamar, he just has an insanely high TD% at 8.4% but Lamar is also very efficient at 7.6%.

For me
Bateman>Wicks

 

[Chaka]

PPR need 2

Javonte Williams vs Car
Kamara vs LAC
James cook vs Sea
Monty vs Ten?

Javonte & Monty for me pretty easily. Games their respective teams should control and they are both likely goal line options for their teams.

 

[Chaka]

PPR

Waddle vs Ariz
or
Tank Dell vs Ten?

IDK I've kinda been of the opinion the Dolphins just needed a spark and they have it so I'd probably risk it on Waddle.

 

[Chaka]

PPR

Dak vs SF
or
Goff vs Ten?

Probably Dak. I just think of the Cowboys are going to do anything it runs through him.

 

[Chaka]

Jake Ferguson at SF

Or

David Njoku Vs. Baltimore

PPR league

I just think Njoku is going to see aot of targets this week and it's a very plus matchup, so I'd go with him.

Comes down to Kamara or Chuba for me. Can't believe it feels like a coin toss. The truth is weeks 1 & 2 are forever ago and, on the whole Chuba has been better. It's also a better rushing matchup.

I bench Kamara.

Between Purdy and Dak ... Probably Dak but it's close.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

So do I start Tua or risk putting Jayden in, knowing Tua plays in the early windows and Jayden the later.

I feel like I should play it safe and secure QB with Tua, if Jayden plays then so be it.

Yeah, agreed.

[Schmeabs]

I am in a similar situation. Start Rodgers at QB in early window or wait to see if Daniels plays and start him. If I wait and Daniels does not play I can pick up Herbert or Russell Wilson.

Do you have a backup option if Daniels is a late scratch?

If not, Rodgers.
