Purdy @ Sea or Lawrence vs Car 4pt passing TD/-1 int
I know I should start Purdy but on the road against the Seahawks is a concern as is the WR injuries. But it feels hard to trust Lawrence and the Jags. I can never pull the trigger on an early QB...so here I am. Again.
I think Purdy is your guy. The WRs don't bother me much, when you figure 10-12 catches for Kittle and CMC. Like Lawrence for the season, but wanna see it first before starting him over Purdy.
If you had the following options, who are you starting at QB in Week 1?
- Kyler Murray
- Justin Fields
- Caleb Williams
Gotta be Kyler. Best matchup and possibly just best player, at least for now.
Flex AJ Brown vs Dallas or DK Metcalf vs Jets?
Also I am Starting Rookie Loveland TE vs Minn. Jake Fergusen and Zach Ertz are currently available, Possibly Goedert too, soon. How comfortable would you be running the bears rookie TE? I'd have to drop Loveland to pick one of the other guys though. Can't carry both right now
Never sitting AJ Brown.
Considering you'd have to drop him, I'd just take my chances with Loveland.
PPR league looking for a #2 RB and a two flex
RB need 1:
Swift v Min
Montgomery @ GB
Tracy @ Was
Flex need 2:
One of the RBs above
Jameson @ GB
Worthy v LAC (Brazil)
Currently have Swift in at RB because I think he is poised to see true #1 RB usage in, what i hope is a very good scheme with a revamped OL. Was talked (badgered) into starting Worthy by his Truthers in the SP. And I have Jameson in my other flex because I'm a J-Stan and I think he is poised to build off a good season last year in a big way. He is also one of those players who has a great chance to salvage a mediocre day with one catch.
Swift would be my RB pick for the reason you state. Usage.
I'd go Worthy and Monty at flex. Wanna see Jameson with the new OC, and trust Monty more. Worthy is an easy call to me. He'd be my top pick of this group every week until Rice is back.
Pick 1
Sutton vs Denver
Egbuka @ Atlanta
Tet McM @ Jax
0.5 ppr
I'd go with the vet in a great matchup. Sutton is a good enough player that I want to see a rookie prove he's on his level before I start them over him. Great situation to be in that 2 of these guys are on your bench.
0.5 PPR, pick your favorite two, need at least one WR.
C Sutton DEN WR vs TEN
J Ford CLE RB vs CIN
J Warren PIT RB vs NYJ
D Smith PHI WR vs DAL
J Williams DET WR vs GB
Sutton is the best player and has a great matchup. I think he's one guy for sure. The 2nd one is the toughest call I've seen so far. I ever so slightly lean Warren. He's finally getting his chance as the starter, and he just got extended. I think he'll never have a bigger stranglehold on the job than he does now. Could make a case for Smith, but there are some blowout concerns there.
Two different leagues, same format (.5ppr start 2 wr 2 rb 1 flex)
League 1: Need a RB2 and a flex.
RB2: Pacheco vs LAC or Henderson vs LV
Flex: Egbuka @ ATL, Jamo Williams @ GB, Pacheco vs LAC or Henderson vs LV
League 2: Need a WR2 and a flex.
WR2 : Sutton vs TEN, Adams vs HOU, Tet @ JAX, Pearsall @ SF
Flex: James Cook vs BAL, Sutton vs TEN, Adams vs HOU, Tet @ JAX, Pearsall @ SF
I'd roll with Henderson here. Just think he's a much bigger talent than Pacheco and could do more with less. I like Egbuka at the flex spot, in what could be a sneaky shootout.
I'd go Sutton for sure. Flex call is close, but even in a bad matchup, I think Cook is probably the call.
Dak Prescott @ PHI
or
Justin Herbert vs KC
I would go with Dak but the complication is that I also have CeeDee Lamb, so his performance is tied to Dak's anyway. Is it advisable to start a QB/WR pair like that or generally better to split them up?
The matchup makes it close, but I think you should roll with Dak, and hope for catchup mode.
Trying to decide between Jameson Williams & the rookie Mathew Golden
I checked out their player props for the week, and they are pretty close
Jameson +200 to score a TD / Under over 3.5 receptions and 51.5 yards
Golden +187 to score a TD / Under over 3.5 receptions and 48.5 yards
I'd actually roll with Golden here. I think GB will really need him this week, as I expect nothing from Reed (if he even plays) and the Lions are one of the few teams GB may have to chase.
1ppr
Tyreek (@ INDY)
-or-
DeVonta (vs DAL)
Tyreek sounds like he'll be just about 100%, but not really had much time practicing this preseason.
Tyreek by quite a lot for me. Colts are a slow defense, and Hill on the fast track could be a nightmare for them. I think Hill is a top-10 WR this week.
oh, I got a good one. It's a flex where I don't have a bunch of elite players.1/4 pt ppr (.25) pick 1.
Cade Otton
Tre Tucker
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
Elic Ayomanor
Jermaine Burton
Sean Tucker
Oh god. Assuming he's even playing, I guess Otton, and hope he gets a TD. Otherwise, I hold my nose and start Ayomanor.
Have Daniels and Dak at qb, and the choice should be easy.
Except I expect the boys to get blown out, which means garbage time production. So... Am I simply second guessing?
I this might be some overthinking. Daniels every week, probably regardless of opponent, but especially with Dak playing Philly.
Dynasty league Flex spot. WRs are 1 pt PPR, RBs are .75 PPR.
Breece Hall vs PIT
or DK Metcalf @ NYJ
I'd go Hall. Has the feel of a grind it out game.
Always love this thread
@Chaka - thanks for getting it going again.
My dilemmas:
QB:
Herbert vs. KC
McCarthy @ CHI
Leaning slightly towards McCarthy here because the Chargers will probably want to do their ground and pound thing to keep the Chiefs off the field. Although also concerned O'Connell may take it easy on JJM his first week and just manage the game. Tiebreaker to me is not having to sit on a potential low Friday score with Herbert.
WR:
Odunze vs. MIN
Downs vs. MIA
Tossup to me, although I also have Warren in this same league so may be too leveraged to Colts' pass catchers.
TIA
I'd lean Herbert here. If Addison were playing, I'd lean McCarthy, but I think Herbert feels safer in JJ's 1st start.
I'd go Downs at WR. Just feel he's in the game more likely to become a shootout.
0.5 PPR:
- WR2 do I go Devonta Smith vs. Cowboys, Jaylen Waddle vs. Colts or Ricky Pearsall vs. Seahawks?
- TE do I go Dallas Goedert vs. Cowboys or Jake Ferguson vs. Eagles?
I'd roll out your Eagles. Between Smith and Goedert, one of them should pan out at least.
so that’s gonna have to wait.
