I think it has to be Henderson. Singletary has played all season and it isn't like he has been lighting it up or anything. The Texans are just a poor running team.
Hoping for a TD? In that case I begrudgingly say McKinnon because, occasionally he has that kind of game.
Thanks…yeah feel the same 100% if McKinnon is active as CEH is all ready ruled out.
I think Njigba is probably the choice here. He has really come on the past two games and seems to be a more consistent part of the offense than the others.
I'm risking it with Ford ATM. He was a full go in practice today in a plus matchup and he's simply a better back than Henderson ever was.
Seattle has a good run defense and they got stronger with the addition of Williams. However it really seems like the Ravens have committed to Gus and despite the changes to the offensive scheme the Ravens are still a run first team.
Man, I like all three tbh.
I'm going with Zay here with Stafford either very hindered in his throwing hand or on the bench entirely.
I think I have to go with Mostert here. He has a TD in six of eight games, three multi TD games, three 100+ yard games, three games with three or more receptions, five games over 5 ypc etc. He brings a lot of scoring consistency regardless of the matchup.
I'm benching Douglas. I get it, he's the last man standing in New England. I guess I could see him outperform Puka if Stafford is out but I just have trouble relying on that to the point of benching a guy who has seen so much consistent volume and has one of the best offensive schemers in football behind him.
I'm starting Swift and not regretting it. He's having a very good season, is used in the passing game a lot and plays for the highest scoring offense, by a wide margin, of all your options.
In full PPR I might be tempted by Moore but he's not seeing the target share from Bagent that I had hoped so it comes down to hoping for a TD. In that situation I'll put more faith in Geno than Bagent.
I started Diontae.Well, Pickett allegedly is a full go tonight and Stafford has missed two straight practices, I think Rypien is now a likely start. That puts Diontae and Kupp on a similar level as they both are probably in line for double digit targets. I guess have more faith in Pickett to give Diontae slightly better targets than Rypien can for Kupp.Does your answer change at all with Rypien? Could also start Metcalf over Kupp or Diontae.I don't start Diontae. Probably under any circumstance with your options but particularly not with Pickett having a rib injury that makes it difficult to torque his throws.I want to start Diontae against the titans on Thursday but who do you bench?
Kupp vs Green Bay
G Wilson vs chargers MNF
Evans vs Houston
Or use him as flex over K Walker (bal), Henry (pit), ekeler (NYJ) or Barkley? (LV)?
Why are you eager to start him?
Diontae>Kupp
ETA: Sorry, forgot Metcalf was also an option. I think DK is just a good play most weeks even if he is having a down year so far. He's tough to figure out, as is the entire Seattle offense at this point. If you want to wait on Stafford's status DK is a great fallback option as I would definitely start him over Kupp if Rypien is playing.
Between Diontae tonight & DK, I am a little nervous about Diontae but...with very little confidence I think I stick with Diontae.
Picking between DK & Lockett is almost impossible but I like both more than Kupp if Stafford is out even in a PPR format. Between the two my gut call is Lockett but that is said with zero confidence or true logic behind it.I started Diontae.Well, Pickett allegedly is a full go tonight and Stafford has missed two straight practices, I think Rypien is now a likely start.

So now I get to decide whether to bench kupp for Metcalf, Lockett (just traded for him), or K Walker all against Baltimore (obviously). I’m starting Garrett Wilson.
I’m favored but playing the #2 team in the league who I expect to be better than sleeper projects.
Gotta be Geno IMO, he's just the better player and has the best supporting cast. I wish that offense were performing better and it wasn't a seemingly tough roadie in Baltimore but I can't make a reasonable argument for any of your other options over him.
I want to believe in Jones this week but I simply do not have confidence in his health. If he is healthy he is the clear choice but I think we saw last week that the downside is pretty significant.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Even though I'm the #1 seed I go against the #2 seed who has great matchups vs my team with bad matchups and players dealing with horrible QB's this week. May lean Jones for the upside "if" it seems like all systems go vs not knowing which Brown RB will be the one this week.
Personally, I'd go all-in on Indy with Pittman and Moss.
I'd go Lazard.
I'd sit Rice. I think he is the least locked into targets, and even though those targets are from the best QB, I think he's the sit.
I trust Howell more than Carr.
Herbert over Stroud regardless of opponent.
I'll say Stroud here. I think he's due for a solid game.
I'd take a flier on Douglas
I'd go Moss and Henderson. I think GB's defense is going to struggle even without Stafford.
I'd go with Freeman over Wilson.
With Pierce and Woods out, I think Schultz is probably the play.
100% starting Pollard over those guys.
I'd stick with those 3.
I'd go Stevenson and Moss
I think I'd stick with White. In theory Pitts should be more involved, but I feel like he's more in an I'll believe it when I see it category.
I wouldn't bench Keenan Allen if he were facing prime Revis, and Sauce isn't THAT good.
I'd go Davis and Douglas.
I'd roll Meyers and hope the offense rebounds in a solid matchup.
Its close, but I think Ford would be my call here.
I think Singletary is the call here. This is his shot to make a run at the starting job in my opinion.
McKinnon
I think I'd stick with JSN.
Yeah, Godwin does seem like the better option overall. Plenty of talent, far more consistent team, he's improving on his season averages over the last four games (trending up) and has a similar matchup.
Thanks Chaka. Reality check
PPR?
Thanks. On JSH, just read this on the matchup. In short, not good:
| Arthur Maulet | Kyle Hamilton | |
| PFF Coverage Grade | 55.9 (No. 18) | 62.6 (No. 12) |
| Catch % Allowed | 66.7% (T-No. 11) | 66.7% (T-No. 11) |
| Yards Allowed Per Coverage Snap | 1.19 (No. 10) | 0.69 (No. 1) |
| 15-Plus-Yard Allowed % | 1.8% (No. 4) | 0.0% (No. 1) |
Appreciate the response. It's non-PPR fwiw. And I'm with you on KJ with a rookie backup QB. At least I know Kupp will get targets.
I'd go with Flowers. He's been a consistent target who is coming off his 1st bad week of the season.
I'd lean toward Henderson. Just think he's a safer bet workload wise.
I think you keep riding the Gus Bus.
I'd go with Zay. Wouldn't be shocked if Seattle/Baltimore were a sneaky shootout.
Mostert is a must start while Achane is out in my opinion.
Puka and Thomas
Swift and Kupp would be my choices. I'd prefer if Stafford played, but Kupp is still facing an awful secondary.
I think DJ Moore is the option I'd roll with.
I'd go with Daniel Jones. OL is getting healthy, and Raiders are a great matchup.
Don't trust him at all, but I think Jones is worth the risk.
Yeah, no reason not to go Godwin.
Its not ideal, but I'd go with both Rams WRs. Packers D is awful.
Stevenson and Pacheco.
Thanks.
I’m starting Hopkins over bass. So you’d want To do the opposite. Grupe is on the waivers so I guess I have the same options and going with DH.
The Commanders defense is definitely not good and they got worse. I wonder what the mood is in the locker room after dealing Sweat & Young. Who knows, they may have been locker room cancers. Still it does present an opportunity for Stevenson. The problem is, how can you trust that guy at this point? He has had an objectively bad year. Over his last four games he's averaging barely 14 opportunities (rush+targets) for 57 yards and 0.25 TD/game. It's hardly inspiring. We can make the argument with the loss of Bourne & Parker the Patriots will lean on the running game more. Sure, that makes sense and if we know it then the Commanders know it too. The best thing going for the Patriots is the Commanders have the 31st scoring defense so maybe they can put up some points. Maybe this is Rhamondre's return to form and maybe, maybe, maybe. We just have no clue.
You seem very concerned with this play. I hope you make the right call.
I don't have much problem swapping Kincaid for either of those guys. Again, they are all very close and Doubs could easily have a better day than Downs. I just like that Downs seems to be getting consistent usage and production over his last four games. But Doubs is a fine substitute for him.
LOL! I love your posts because they really strain my ability to find logical conclusions.
In the future please include matchup information. I couldn't tell you who Grupe or Dustin play for ATM. Honestly never heard of Grupe before your post.
Gotcha, sorry about that.
