Week 10 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Chaka
- Start date
Can't disagree on any of your comments
Detroit's offense should have their way with The Commies defense and score many points..so Williams I would play
Swift looks like he's going to play but even with that I see at least a 50/50 split and The Giants run defense is horrible...so I would play Monangai
That leaves Chuba and Watson
IF Watson is healthy I would play him over Chuba
Nothing analytical but just a gut feeling Watson is due for a multiple touchdown game
Your reasoning on Chuba is solid but I'm usually a swing for the fences guy
Chaka

Thanks, as always.
I generally prefer the upside guys too, which is why Jamo has been on my roster every year since late 2022.
Everything I see says Watson has more of a precautionary Q designation and will play. My concern Golden & Wicks, they haven't been much on the field but, if they're there they potentially take away targets. I like Watson with 7-8 targets a lot more than Watson with 4-5 targets.
I think that will be the deciding factor for me. No Golden & Wicks, Watson starts. Yes Golden & Wicks, Chuba starts.

Because it's PPR, I lean Gainwell. The Chargers are actually not that strong against the run, despite being 3rd in rush attempts against. They are 17th in rush yards against, 22nd in rush TDs against (10) and 27th in y/a against (4.9) so, there are opportunities for the Steeler RBs if the game is reasonably close.
Jennings had nice usage, and got the score but wasn't involved in the passing game and only saw a 25% snap share. On 17 snaps he touched the ball 12 times. If he's in, teams know he's probably getting the ball which, limits his upside IMO.
Gainwell>Jennings
===================================
Jones has been pretty impressive in his seven starts but, he's kinda all over the map for fantasy production. Rodgers has been a lot more consistent with a TD in every game and multiple TDs in 5 of 8. Jones has multiple TDs in 4 of 7 but has two games with 0 TDs.
Rodgers>Jones

Got Chase and Rice on a BYE and now Tet is ailing, need 2 of the following
P.Washington @ Texans - (bad matchup, good volume)
R.Shaheed vs Cards - better matchup, low familiarity with new team
KW3 vs Cards - a total dice roll
Z.Flowers @ Vikings
Leaning Flowers and KW3 but not anywhere close to sure

Non-PPR, standard scoring league:
Vidal vs PIT
or
Etienne vs HOU
Johnston vs PIT
or
Olave vs CAR
Etienne’s matchup is brutal but Vidal did nothing last week in a plus matchup.
Olave has been consistently catching balls, but only 2 games with a TD; Johnston was back in the mix last week and caught another TD
Thank you!

Id bench Chuba. Hard to justify playing what is essentially a backup RB just based on potential game script.

Since it's non-ppr:
I agree on Flowers for sure. It's been a disappointing run so far but, I still think he's going to lead the Ravens in targets RoS and, he is more likely to find the endzone than a guy like Washington who should also see a solid target share this week.
Agree on KWIII. He's the lead back and the Seahawks should win against the scrappy Cards. I'd give Shaheed a week to acclimate before throwing him out there. Although with the way Darnold is playing a couple go routes may be all he needs to be relevant.
Flowers>KWIII>Shaheed>Washington
Chaka
Footballguy
I'm going with the Chargers in both cases. The Houston defense is for real and, I am not at all sure that Shough is. Since it's non ppr even if Olave sees 10+ targets I don't expect him to do much with them.
Vidal>Etienne
Johnston>Olave

I like Loveland & Monangai but, I think Mason is in line for a bigger role than either. Aaron Jones has an AC joint sprain and, even if he plays I see him having a bit role in the passing game and most everything else going to Mason. Monangai does have good upside for opportunities, he would easily be my next choice but I still lean.
Mason>Monangai>Loveland
=========================================
I think I ride with Brissett this week. He's put up at least 260 and 2 every game including @ IND and v GB. He seems to be the best combo of stability and upside. Probably the Niner QB next but,
Brissett>QB SF
Chaka
Footballguy
Marks and Monangai are probably in line for similar workloads. Maybe 10-14 opportunities. I see that Swift was just given a Q designation so, there may be more opportunity for Monangai in a plus matchup.
I'm a Jamo guy and I think the Lions may put up 40+ on the Commanders but, while he's on the field 88% of the time his usage can range from 0 to 8 targets. If you need the BOOM start him otherwise
Monangai>Marks>Jamo

Tough injury year but have a chance to make a move this week:
Non ppr:
Have to fill WR 2 slot - pick one pls:
DJ Moore vs NYG
Keenan Allen vs Pitt
Have to fill Flex spot - pick one pls:
Gadsden vs Pitt
Monty @ Wash
Maybe its one of the WRs above
TIA

Flex question.... 0.5 PPR
Marks vs JAC
or
Goedert @ GBP

Really close. Guess maybe Goedert (Eagles passing game coming alive and this game should have fireworks).

I need the boom - Thanks
Here's one from me that may look a little odd. PPR scoring. Start two (and only two) of the following:
Gibbs vs Wash
Cook @ Mia
London vs Indy (in Germany)
Already have Bijan vs Indy, Puka @ SF, ARSB vs Wash in lineup. And if you're wondering "What is this ... a 3 person league?" the answer is yes
! Final 3 of a guillotine league (that started with 12). But despite having a loaded lineup, Bowers' dud on Thursday has me now projected to be cut this week

Caleb Vs NYG
or Mayfield Vs NEP
Right now I’ve got Caleb in - riding the hot hand + defensive ranking vs the pass both seem to favor Caleb. But I figured I’d ask.

I hate to say it since I have a share, but I’d bench Gibbs in this scenario. His production has been all over the map this year.Here's one from me that may look a little odd. PPR scoring. Start two (and only two) of the following:

Jennings for the short yardage opportunities.
Mac has been on a roll. Kinda coin flippy. ARod might have to put up numbers to keep up with LAC though. Rams D is a little better against the pass than LAC too.
Tough call. I’d probably roll the dice with ARod in prime time.
Yeah, you know Caleb is boom bust, but I'd ride the hot hand too.
Think I like Mac a bit more. Those Europe games scare me. Nothing like having your week destroyed before noon.
Chaka
Footballguy
Kinda wish I could say Monty & Gadsden.
I think Monty is a strong flex option this week. Maybe the Commanders rally but, I'm going with the notion the Lions roll.
I like Gadsden a lot, probably going to drop Jakobi or BTJ for him but, I start Monty.
Monty>Gadsden
===================
The WR choice is tougher. I still don't have a ton of faith in Caleb to feed everyone, particularly relative to Herbert but, Keenan has cooled off and, he feels more like a spike game guy.
DJ is coming off two decent games but, again Caleb hasn't been able to sustain multiple options every week yet.
I'm going with the better QB
Keenan>DJ

Marks has been fine but, Goedert has been finding the end zone with amazing regularity.
Both have tough matchups, particularly with CJ out.
Goedert>Marks

Both have tough matchups but the addition of Sauce and the mediocre play of Penix makes me lean
Jones>Penix

Bench London IMO.Here's one from me that may look a little odd. PPR scoring. Start two (and only two) of the following:
Gibbs vs Wash

I just think the Colts are going to be pumped with the addition of Sauce. Cooks and Gibbs have great matchups and should get lots of opportunities.
Gibbs>Cook>London
Giants D is a mess
I love The Baker but I'd go with Caleb this week
Keep an eye on the weather
Chicago may get snow
That could be a plus or a minus
That's a close one
Both could be chasing points
I might lean slightly to Jones
Especially if Sauce plays and locks down London...in Germany
Gibbs and Cook for meHere's one from me that may look a little odd. PPR scoring. Start two (and only two) of the following:
Gibbs vs Wash
Cook @ Mia
London vs Indy (in Germany)
Already have Bijan vs Indy, Puka @ SF, ARSB vs Wash in lineup. And if you're wondering "What is this ... a 3 person league?" the answer is yes
London may be shadowed by Gardner
Goedert
and it's not that close for me

Loveland

Need 2 RB and FLEX from these 4 RB options. Full PPR.
RB1 Kyren Williams vs @SF
RB2 Breece Hall vs CLE
FLEX Quinshon Judkins vs @NYJ
BENCH Kyle Monangai vs NYG
If Swift plays I won't change what I have up above, but if he is out, Monangai is going against the Giants who have the 2nd worst run defense behind Cincinnati. Probably would swap out Hall is against the 2nd best run defense in Cleveland.
Overthinking things and should stick with Hall?

I think your thinking is correct.
Breece vs Cleveland is a brutal matchup. If Swift is out, play Monangi. If Swift plays, Breece should see more work than Monangi.

Matchup suggests Caleb but, it's difficult to have confidence in that.
Still, I have Caleb in my lineup over Darnold and that feels like a good comp for Baker so
Caleb>Baker
PPR league. I'm in RB hell due to bye weeks. Pick one:
* Bam Knight at SEA -- Got more snaps than Demercardo last week, but Demercardo outperformed him.
* E. Demercardo at SEA -- See above. Bam universally projected to perform better.
* C. Rodriguez vs DET -- Named captain. Bill looked like crap last week. WASH could fall behind quickly and make him worthless. Mariota could steal goal looks as well.
* J. Mchnicols vs DET -- If DET blows them out, he could be a sneaky start.
For the love of god, if I can get 10 points out of any options I'm happy.
Which junk is best?
Thanks

PPR league. Need two of these:
* D. Schultz vs JAX -- D. Mills at QB, but JAX is 2nd worst against TEs in the league. Mills did pretty well last week out of nowhere and JAX can be thrown on. Schultz has had 5+ receptions in five of the last six games.
* T. Johnson vs NE -- Tez is probably going to be needed in a potential shootout. Godwin, Evans out. Egbuka could draw Gonzo.
* P. Washington @HOU -- Tough matchup, but in the slot, he could avoid Stingley. Will get targets, not sure what he'll do with them. Meyers probably not up to speed yet.
* C. Watson vs PHI -- Golden and Wicks look to be out. He's boom or bust usually, but GB may have to keep up with PHI and I don't see this as a game where Jacobs can just churn.
Which 2?
Thanks

Maybe, start no one and hope for a scoring error?
DET and SEA are not ideal matchups. Rodriguez may be super special extra motivated with his Captaincy but, the Titanic had a Captain too. McNichols seems to be the clear receiving back but, even in a trail script will it be enough to generate 10 points? I'm not optimistic about either back, because 1) JCM isn't going away entirely and 2) Kingsbury can't be trusted to use his RBs. Or, I should say he can be trusted to use his RBs in a haphazard fashion. The best hope is a Rodriguez TD IMO.
Arizona may not be much better but, I think they are more likely to break 20+ total RB touches than the Commanders. I also think they're a scrappier team who will keep the game closer.
I don't watch a lot of Cards games but, IMO Demarcado passed the eyeball test last week and Zonovan (why would people call him Bam when his first name is so freaking awesome?) did not.
Demarcado>Rodriguez>Zonovan>McNichols

I have Schultz on my team and I looked at the numbers last week earlier in the thread. I think Schultz went 5-23 with Mills. Mills looked to Nico more often and more efficiently.
I like Washington in PPR. He may not get a lot of yardage but, who else has a chance to see 10 targets for the Jags this week?
I definitely like Watson if Golden & Wicks are out. Even if they play Watson has that big play ability to salvage a meh day (see: Jamo last week) that most others lack. I think they're both iffy for sure but, Wicks seems to have a chance to play after two LPs.
I don't watch a lot of Bucs games but, Tez does seem to have decent upside and he has a better QB than Washington and, probably Watson too.
Tough one.
Watson>Washington>Tez>Schultz

I think you're correct here. I would also go with Henderson, tough defense sure, but Tampa can be beat on outside runs and passes to the RB. I'm starting him, and facing him - so i fully expect this to be the week Hendo finally "breaks out"

Michael Pittman has been great this year, hard to bench, especially as your WR2-3 but... ATL is a tough matchup here, and i tend to shy away from starting "non-sure" players in the over-seas games.
DJ Moore seem to finally realize his role in Ben Johnson's offense last week. Giants WILL give up points to pass catchers in what should be a fantasy freindly gaem.
Thoughts?
Michael Pittman v ATL (in Berlin)
or
DJ Moore v NYG
