Nice thing about Tillman is NO is weaker on D since the trade deadline, and Winston is playing vs his old team.

Eckler. Balt/Pitt has a history of low-scoring games, script won’t help Bateman.
I like Herbert by quite a bit, both this week and rest of season. He's been playing at an elite level since getting over his injury. He's even added rushing to the mix.
That's about as tight as it gets. I can see the arguments for all 3, but for me personally, I'm going Lamb. He's the one we know is getting 10 targets, and he's the most talented one.
I can see the case for Herbert, who I like a lot, but Daniels has earned the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he'll need to use his legs more this week?Herbert or Daniels? Daniels vs. Philly scares me a bit...
Much like the above question, I can see the case to not start Daniels, I just would prefer to stick with Daniels.
This may be a bit of a bold take, but I think Higgins is quite a bit ahead of JSN if he's playing. Better matchup, better player, and better QB.
I mostly agree, but I think I'd sit Smith for London. I highly doubt Surtain follows London, and in fact will probably spend more time on Mooney, as London often kicks inside.
I think Shakir is the right play, especially with how banged up the Bills other pass catchers are.
I don't think Lamb is so downgraded that he's grouped in with these guys yet. I'd go Lamb and Tillman. Possible Williams outproduces both, also possible he has 2-3 catches total.
I'm finally gonna argue against Mahomes. I think Daniels is a better start in an equal matchup.
I'd flex Amon-Ra and Nico. Kinda get the feeling Nico is gonna be a monster against a barely there Dallas secondary.
I don't trust Sean Payton near enough to think Estime is suddenly the guy in Denver. I like Harris a good amount more.
I'd go Bo Nix here. Just a more pass heavy offense, and Nix adds with his legs.
Purdy would be my call here. Seattle pass D is really bad, and Purdy had 255-3 against them a month ago, and that was without CMC there to destroy their LBs.
This is an easy call in my opinion. The Ravens pass defense might be the worst in the NFL, and the thing they are specifically bad at is allowing big plays. I think Pickens is closer to Jefferson than these other guys are to Pickens this week. Pickens is a top-10 play this week.
If Mooney sits do you still stand by this? Mooney just added to injury report in limited practice.
I'd go McLaurin. Just fewer options for Washington, and its possible DK is more of a decoy in his 1st game back.
I'd probably sit Meyers, as he's drawing Ramsey, who honestly still concerns me more than Surtain does.
I would 100% start Hill over those other options. Can you start Higgins as well? Really want no part of those RBs, and Cooper hasn't shown any reason to trust him yet.
I'm gonna go a little off book here, and say I'd sit Monty, and start Hall and DK.
No defense I'd start over the Vikings this week.
Do you have a non-QB you could flex? Of those 2, I guess I'd argue Levis, as he at least is willing to throw downfield.
SuperFlex with emphasis on passing yards. I have to start one of these guys and am just thinking who has the most yards passing and limited INTs. (lol)
Levis vs. Minn
M. Jones @ Det.
I feel like this may be overthinking it. London is light years ahead of those guys.
Even with Robinson back, I think Ekeler is the play. I wouldn't be surprised if Ekeler played more than Robinson this week.
I think Dell would be my pick. I think Nico being back might be a plus for him, as he may not be cut out to face top guy coverage.
This is 1 where I can see sitting London. I think Kupp is a lock, and McLaurin just edges out London for me.
Hopkins and Jacobs.
Assuming its Brian and not Bijan, I'd say Cook.
Yeah, that feels like an overreaction to me. No reason Lamb won't be at least a top-20 WR. Hell, in a way getting 8 points (almost 15) when his QB threw for only 60 yards is kind of impressive. That low yardage is an anomaly.

CeeDee is a very tough call this week. He got 10 targets and lost a TD pass in the sun. I assume he will see another 10 targets but... yeah the QBs probably suck and I hate depending on Cooper Rush to find whatever mojo he used to have.
Tillman is a risk too IMO. I don't think Winston going to NO is some kind of revenge game, if it were Tampa Bay I might be on board with that logic.
Ultimately I don't have much problem with anyone starting Tillman over CeeDee.
Chaka
Footballguy
Love because the GB offense runs through him. The Detroit offense runs out of the backfield.
I guess I would go with Goedert in the hope it's a high scoring game but... I don't have much confidence in any of them. I could also see Buf/KC hit the over and be one of those 41-38 affairs. I guess you have to choose whichever you think will be the highest scoring.
I probably go with Shakir & Waddle. You can't rely on anything from Dallas and the Texans are strong against RBs. And the Chargers have a way of holding teams to low scoring affairs.

IDK I think Davante is more likely to be in line for 9+ targets. DeAndre may be a 6-7 target guy.
If you think the BUF/KC game will be a high scoring affair then go with DeAndre. I am not so sure.
They had two track meet games in 2021 but since then:
24-20
20-17
24-27
Probably Davante.

lions should curb stop this week unless the nfl script writers are gonna be like "you know, everyone thinks that the lions are going to dominate, so lets throw a curveball and have mac jones throw 3 tds."

Cleveland is probably throwing 30-3B times, not sure if the Cowboys are, The Texans have a better pass D, Dallas may try to run more. This is really about Cooper Rush.
Yes. Surtain doesn't follow guys inside often, so I think London will often avoid him, and frankly, I don't think Surtain is some elite CB we have to avoid. He's not prime Revis.
I do think Smith has a decent chance at a big game against Washington, but its hard to sit London, who has been a top-10 guy all season.

And I think I agree that Higgins is likely the better talent and situation.
I had Barkley going last night, so I also probably start thinking about safe floor. And Higgins does have some history of being a decoy or being pulled when coming back from injury. So there’s that to think about too. Albeit in my original ask I stated 100% healthy and full go theoretically.

One day you will have to teach me how to do this cool multi quote thing.

- Do I start Jordan Love vs. the Bears, pick up Wilson vs. the Ravens or pick up Darnold vs. the Titans?
- If Cooper is healthy, do I start him over Jakobi Meyers vs. Dolphins?
LionOfGosforth
Footballguy
I like Wilson out of the 3 QB options. I would never trust Darnold again after the pathetic showing against a garbage Jags. How does that even happen?
I probably go with Meyers over Cooper (assume you mean Amari) but it all depends on your risk tolerance. Cooper certainly could and should be the better start but he doesn't seem fully integrated in that offense yet while Meyers has a big role, for what that's worth.
Close between Love and Wilson, but I think I gotta go with Russ due to the matchup and the roll he seems to be on.
Chaka
Footballguy
Not Darnold.
Personally I probably lean Love because I think he has higher upside and a reasonable floor.
Is this PPR? Jakobi is a safeish, middling output guy who may score the occasional TD. Coop can blow up a defense, and usually does 2-3x/year. But he's hurt and can disappear. Really it depends on your risk aversion. Personally I lean Cooper.
Chaka
Footballguy
I think I might go with Pearsall here and hope last week was a sign of things to come. And I may start him over Bateman, not Dobbins but, as with your other options, you are counting on the big play and that is simply impossible to predict. I don't like Samuel but the others are very similar. I would hope that Pearsall gets a consistent 6-7 targets and the Seahawks keep the game close.
Chaka
Footballguy
A: I like Dell as a hedge against Nico. If you think Nico is full strength I probably lean Doubs.
B: Probably Jauann because he seems more consistently involved and he has big play ability. If you are worried about McCaffrey vulturing TD opportunities go with Reed.
C: Again Dell and I probably stick with him even if Nico is 100%. Mattison would be plan B because I think he may be locked into some volume but, with the OC change Zamir could make a reappearance.
RaidersAreOne

It sounds like Adams is going to play this weekend. Would you start him or Jayden Reed at WR? Or would you start them both and move Chase Brown to the bench?
PPR league. Need two of these 4:
* T. Spears vs MN -- Looks like Pollard is healthy and ready to go. Horrible matchup, could get some touches.
* A. Estime vs ATL -- He may be the lead dog although Jaleel and J. Williams will be involved (although they had few touches last week). ATL can be run on. So far, no involvement in the passing game, but maybe that changes. Payton seems to like him.
* B. Thomas @DET -- Hate it that I have to consider benching him, but Mac Jones is terrible and can't hit him deep. JAX could be in catchup mode against DET though
* Taysom Hill vs CLE -- Thought has week was a Taysom week against a worse D. CLE tougher up front vs. the backend so could be tougher to run on. Of course, could get a couple catches and fall into the end zone. Boom bust.
Which 2?
Thanks

- Gesicki at LAC (15th)
- Knox v KCC (1st)

Adams is more likely to see 9+ targets than Reed and he has a decent chance at a TD. Reed seems to be a "wait for a big play" guy at this point. He can blow the roof off of a game but I don't like relying on that.
Probably lean Brown over Reed because of volume.
Chaka
Footballguy
I personally would go with Estime because all signs are pointing to continued volume and Thomas because the Jaguars might have to pass 100 times.
Chaka
Footballguy
I would hope for a "get right" game by the Dolphins against the Raiders.
Doubs may have a safer floor but I like swinging big on this one.
Chaka
Footballguy
Stroud. Nico is trending towards playing and the Texans offense still runs through Stroud more than the Lions offense runs through Goff.
Chaka
Footballguy
LOL (don't tell JB I did that).
Since I really have no idea about TEs, the way I see it is CIN seems like a must play against defense. If you don't like that the Ravens also have a poor pass defense.
Don't really like Geisicki or Knox ATM.

Probably Knox for one week but I like Freiermuth generally

I don't think any of the other 2 represents a significant upgrade over Love. I'd ride or die with Love.
Reading through these and having Drake London on my team; I think if I am the Denver DC, my primary concern from Atlanta's passing game is Mooney, assuming both are healthy.
I rec'd an offer in my league (0.5 PPR redraft) to Trade Lamb and Evan Engram away for Mooney and TJ Hockenson I turned it down because I wasn't ready to throw in the towel on Lamb and I already had London. But I considered it because I like Mooney's upside and thought Hockenson was an upgrade over Engram who I have to start because I don't have anyone better.
Feel free to let me know if did the right thing

Mooney is having a fine season and Hock should be an upgrade over Engram. Mooney has played one more game than CeeDee and Lamb will still be getting 10 targets per game. The question is will Cooper Rush recapture his 2022 mojo? Not great odds of that IMO. RoS it probably isn't a terrible trade and may be quite a good one for you.

I am still team Hill. I view this as a "get right" week against the Raiders. I am a little concerned about a bump from the Raiders coming off the bye but I think Miami is only going to improve as the rest of the season unfolds.
If you hate that Dobbins is getting good volume and should have a semi reasonable floor. Still prefer Tyreek though.
