Week 10 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Standard:
Worthy vs DEN
Waddle @ LAC (w no Fri practice for T Hill
Shakir @ IND
Need 1

.5 PPR
Stevenson @Chicago
D Hop vs DEN (after last week)
London @ NO (feeling better)
BTJ vs MIN (no Lawrence)
1 Flex

Thx
Non PPR probably risk it with Waddle. That offense is a lot better with Tua than they have shown. They took the Bills to the wire and are probably ascending (likely, but not definitely, too late). And he is the kind of guy who can salvage a bad game with one play. He's also so much more proven than your other options.

Second choice... I won't do Thomas Jr with Mac Jones at QB. After that... It's complicated. Rhamondre is a little too TD dependent for my taste. Between Hopkins and London I play the matchup and go London... If you are confident with his health. If not, Hopkins.
 
Half PPR. Need a flex and a defense:

Khalil Shakir @ IND
Dowdle v PHIL

Detroit @HOU
Rams v MIA
I've been leaning Dowdle this week. He's been on a solid run for usage and production. I don't know what to expect from Shakir.

I lean Lions for defense, I just think that Miami team is ready to turn it around. But it's really a coin toss.

Thanks. The Cowboys offense seems busted in a way where they aren't going to run a ton, but Dowdle could see a lot of catches.

BUF WR room banged up and Allen loves Shakir. They could get out early on IND though and lean on Cook.

I'm gonna go back and forth like ten times before sunday haha

Yup. Wish I could offer true clarity but, well... y'know.
 
I want to clarify that when I ask for people to answer questions, if they are going to ask questions, I don't mean they should specifically answer my questions.

Given the choice, I would prefer mine not to be answered in favor of others. That's what this thread is about, IMHO.

I make every effort to answer every question asked in this thread but, I can't always make that happen (frankly I put more time into this than I probably should, fortunately, God bless her, my wife is a trooper), so I hope for us all to be there for each other.

IMO that means if your looking for help, please help someone else in return.

TIA and I'll get off my pedestal now.

I think you are a saint for the time you put in here. I do check in occasionally and maybe throw my 2 cents in here and there even if I don't have a question. It's the least I can do.
 
Sutton vs. KC or a potentially gimpy Jujuan Jennings vs. TB is my current conundrum. .5 point ppr, 6 pt TDs

Have Sutton in now.... but I'm waffling hard.

Sutton had a great last two games but those were against two very bad defenses. KC gets other teams to play ugly ball. But who knows? Maybe Nix and Sutton have a connection at this point. I don't think Denver will be able to do anything on the ground, that doesn't make me warm and fuzzy but, what else is Denver going to be able to do other than try to throw it to Sutton?

Probably Sutton. CMC is back so who knows how the offense will spread around The touches. I’d wait a game before I started Jennings.
 
QB quandary - 4 points passing TD/ 1 point 20 yards pass/ 6 points rushing TD

Danny Dimes @ Carolina (Munich) - inept offenses vs shootout

Cousins @ NO - his MU could result in second half running like last week if NO cannot score

Mayfield vs SF - bet here is shootout or at best garbage yards but SF getting back pieces of offense. If anything maybe a piece of home field and good OL keeps TB competitive for a while

TIA
 
I thought injuries were going to answer my WR questions this week, ie someone will be out and the choice would be made for me. Seems like all my WRs plan on playing banged up and I hate starting less than 100% healthy players for the obvious reasons (decreased production and reinjury risk). Do I start them as normal or do these injuries change rankings?

Need 2. Full PPR.

Lamb vs Eagles (playing through sprained AC joint and with a backup QB. I am also playing PHI DST this week).

London @ NO (playing through hip pointer injury. They have other weapons and could rely more on the running game than say Dallas could in their game against PHI).

Smith @ Dallas (he officially doesn’t carry an injury designation but was limited in Practice by a hamstring issue all week. PHI has tons of other weapons so who knows how the touches will be spread around and they likely will not be playing from behind).

I could also start all three by taking Monty out of the flex but I think I want him there.

This is kinda of my reasoning...but if feels flawed. :nerd:

Jennings is playing a suspect pass D, and his per touch efficiency is pretty boss. Yeah, McCaffery is back (who I also get to run out on this team finally. Yay.), yeah Deebo may play...but he may outscore Sutton on half the touches. Because of the per touch efficiency, of the two he's also probably the guy way more likely to drop a "QB score" from my flex spot than Sutton.

I'm mildly favored, which is what's made me put Sutton in for now. It just feels like "settling." If Sutton had a better matchup, it probably wouldn't be a question for me. I'd start him, take the 10-12 targets and let the chips fall.
 
Standard league w/100yd bonus. I need 2 of these 4

Hill (no practice on Friday plus Monday night game)
MHJ (vs Jets dynamic duo CB)
Downs (Pittman out)
Jameson Williams (first game back plus low pass volume)

I think if we get word that Hill is fine then he’s obviously in, but could probably take any two and be right/wrong.

The Buccaneers offense runs through Mayfield and he has played very well (in fantasy) without Godwin and Evans

Mayfield

I think you keep playing Lamb. Rush targeted him 10x per game during his five starts in 2022. Who else is he going to throw to?

Smith v London is a coin toss but I lean Devonta because I like the matchup and he doesn't have a designation.

If you're feeling Jennings then you should absolutely start.him. I'm a big fan,.myself.
 
PPR League. Curious how would you rank the following RB stashes?

* B. Corum - Obviously a K. Williams injury away from serious volume in a great offense.

* T. Benson - Could split with E. Demarcado for passing downs in the case of Conner injury. Offense less lethal than LAR.

* J. Wright -- Tua relying on RB throws to Achane. If he goes down, serious upside. Plus, Mostert fumbling, may want to give the kid a chance down the stretch if Miami is out of it.

* T. Spears - Now healthy, coach indicating Pollard worn down. Run heavy offense.

Thanks

I start Hill without question.

I guess I could see Downs as a good option but I still roll with Harrison under the assumption he gets better as the season progresses.

No on Jameson. You have better volume options. You don't need a home run guy.

Benson>Wright>Corum>>Spears

The first three are close though.

Spears > Benson > Corum > Wright. If you have any of the relevant starters I think that launches the relevant backup to the top of the list.

Hill (if playing) and Downs for me. If Hill is out I think I go for the home run with Jamo.

Mason vs TB
Guerendo vs TB

I probably go Mason of that crop.

TB run defense is lower tier, and even with CMC back I can see a script where Mason would potentially get GL looks to keep McCaffrey's number of "collisions in a scrum" under control.
 
PPR league. Redraft.

I'm a little spooked by Tyreek's wrist injury. That combined with Achane's emergence and an owner who seems to want Tyreek desperately has me considering the following:

* I GET: D. Adams & T. Higgins
* I GIVE: Tyreek

Would give me the following at WR: C. Kupp, D. Adams, T. Higgins, B. Thomas (vs only 3 WRs previously).

Probably a step down from Hill to Adams, but Higgins would add some good depth assuming he gets healthy.

Good trade?

Thanks
 
Garrett Wilson Vs. Cardinals
Amari Cooper Vs. Colts
George Pickens Vs. Commanders
DeAndre Hopkins Vs. Broncos

Which 1 would you bench in a PPR league?

You're banking on Higgins staying healthy. If you think he'll be healthy then I would do the trade, but otherwise I'd stand pat.

It's more about the offense they would lean than anything. I'm not really looking at their standalone value, it's all about of the guy in front of them goes down.

Miami>>Tennessee (as long as Tua is healthy).

I could easily put Corum over Wright for the same reason but it's closer.

I like Benson most because it's a good offense that runs a lot.
 
Struggling at RB2. Need one of these bad options in PPR:

Braelon Allen vs ARI
Benson vs NYJ
Mason vs TB
Guerendo vs TB
I'm struggling right there with you.

I could see going back and forth a lot.

I will say that Mason>Guerendo confidently. Guerendo won't see any action unless both CMC and Mason goes down.

Choosing between these three is just a dart throws at best.

I guess I would go with Mason first. It's a tough call but my guess/hope is CMC will get a lighter than normal workload and the whole offense is going to be energized by his return.

Didn't you have some better deals on the table? One for ARSB & Higgins IIRC?

I don't love this one as much. We're not even sure Davante is plug and play anymore. He probably is but...

I had a ASTB for both T. Hill and JSN, but I traded away JSN in a separate deal.

Kinda feel the same way.

Panicking a bit, possibly for no good reason.
 
Due to too many shares of guys like CMC, Etienne, and Spears, I've got some variation of this in about 4 leagues.

Pick your top 3 (PPR)....

Etienne vs MIN
Spears @ LAC
Mason @ TBB
McLaughlin vs KCC
Perine @ DEN
McNichols vs PIT

Secondly, would you start ANY of the above over Irving (vs SF) or Allgeier (@ NOS)? Also PPR.
 
Need help in PPR league.

Pick to WR's and one flex
Tyreek Hill at LA Rams Monday (questionable)
Nabers vs Carolina
Wandale Robinson vs Carolina
Jameson Williams vs Houston
Taysom Hill vs Atlanta (picked up to fill McBride Bye next week)

All other roster is either on Bye or injured and I do not want to drop any of them. My concern is if Tyreek doesn't play Monday I would be forced to take a zero or drop JSN. I think I may need to drop Taysom Hill now and pick up Jonnu Smith as a possible replacement for Tyreek on Monday. Beckham and Atwell are also available.

As of now I have Wandale in with Tyreek and Nabers but wondering if Jameson over Wandale makes sense.

I probably go with McNichols with Robinson out but don't be surprised if Rodriguez turns out to be the guy there

Then Spears & Mason because the remaining two are just very uninspiring.
 
My weekly challenge...
Haven't picked right once this season:

Purdy v Goff?

Data I see suggests Purdy @ TB but I think DET/HOU could be a higher scoring game + Will Anderson out for HOU.

Thanks for the feedback
