Agreed but, what was your other option(s)? I haven't looked back in the thread but wasn't it Dissly?

Half-point PPR its desperation RB2 day.

Ameer Abdullah

Or

Roschon Johnson

Abdullah is a tough call this week in the late window.

It's a situation where I would probably play each guy depending on my perceived need. If you think you need a stable floor guy who may get you a TD but only on 10 or so touches, play Roschon.

If you worry that you may need a guy to get a bunch of opportunities and pray he breaks a few big ones but has a very low floor then Abdullah is your guy.

I probably risk it with Roschon and hope last week was a trend and not a blip.

Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines as you in many senses. So appreciate the reinforcement. I’m a slight underdog this week due to byes… but I don’t think this RB2 position is gonna win me the week. So seeking a stable floor of sorts.

I'd go with the 10-year vet getting his rare opportunity but trust yourself over an internet rando.

Good call.

I love Ameer. Got a lot of respect for a guy who went from being the man to being a special teams ace. He's been a great STer with the Vikings and now the Raiders

But Roschon fell into the end zone this week too, so probably worked out either way

PPR league. Need a hail mary for tonight.

I need 25 points. Probably not going to get there, but you never know.

Currently have W. Dissly in my flex. I could see a handful of catches, maybe a TD for Dissly.

I could also pick up J. Palmer. He's had big games in the past but has been a distant fourth behind Q. Johnson, L. McConkey, and Dissly. Hasn't had more than 5 targets all year.

Stand pat with Dissly?

Thanks

Woof.

Prolly not gonna happen, mijo, buuut...to hit that total you are going to need multiple long touchdowns most likely. That doesn't sound like something that Dissly is going to get for you.

I stick with Dissly and hope for a fluky 3 TD game.

Full PPR

TE
Kraft vs 49ers
LaPorta @ IND (FWIW I also own and will be starting Monty)

Flex
Waddle vs Pats
Warren @ CLE
Pierce vs DET

Could also get crazy and flex the TE I don't start in my TE spot.

Well they both have a floor of zero so... I guess I go with LaPorta under the assumption the Lions will score more points so he will have more opps to score a TD.

Waddle will eventually have a big game but how many will he cost you chasing that? I think he has the highest ceiling of the bunch so if that is important you should consider him.

Otherwise I am an unabashed fan of Warren. He just had 13 opportunities (four targets) in a tight game with Baltimore and I expect that share of opportunities to continue on the short week. He also has big play upside.

Pierce is all about the big play and Richardson isn't shy about putting up deep balls but, I can't trust AR at QB and I hate relying on big plays to salvage days. Unlike Waddle I don't think Pierce has 8-10 target upside. Waddle hasn't had that this year either but this offense is starting to roll a little bit and I think we are seeing them start to round into 2023 form.

Warren>Waddle>Pierce

Warren was scooped up off waivers by the guy with priorty right in front of me.

I just traded Shakir for Downs straight up. I actually have never started Shakir once this year with London, Lamb and Smith as my top 3 options. So this is more a fill in this week since Shakir is also on bye. Hell, Downs is outscoring Smith so he could be my WR3 going forward even.

Downs > Waddle no brainer right?

Agree. Bottom line is Downs plays well with AR and that game is far more likely to put pressure on the Colts to keep up that the Pats will on the Dolphins. ON PAPER.

What is funny is if you check Waddles history against the Pats, he has scored a TD every game against them at home going back to 2021. Watch him get one on my bench this week LOL.

Like I said in my first post, you know he is going to have a big game at some point. This certainly could be the week with a lesser opponent and the offense starting to hit it's stride. I do think he has a lot of upside. If you were still dealing with Pierce as your only option I would definitely go with Waddle. But Downs has been pretty darn good this year. Since he came back in week three he has had two down games and one of those was his first game back. He's been good enough that I wouldn't regret starting him over Waddle even if this is Waddle's breakout game.

Smith was a late out last week and I was forced to play Waddle. Boy I'm glad that worked out, he got me the W. Fantasy is wild.
