Week 12 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Chaka
- Start date
Russ I guess
JK revenge
Chaka
Footballguy
That's one way of looking at it, I look at as he has two TDs on 34 touches, that's about a 6% rate.
Chaka
Footballguy
I guess Winston since they have the same conditions and the Browns will probably have to pass more to move the ball than the Steelers who can fall back on their defense.
I love JK but Najee has a much better matchup.
Chaka
Footballguy
Normally I would say Moore pretty clearly because Winston has found a way to unlock him. But the conditions make me a bit hesitant. You don't have other great options so, if you don't start Moore I would lean Thielen and cross your fingers.

Warren for me. If the weather is what they predict, I expect a heavy dose of the running game.
Kmet can have massive games but he disappears for long, long, long stretches and will cost you more than you reap.
No interest in WanDale with Frank Reynolds at QB.

non-ppr, pick 2
DK v Ari
Pickens @ Cle
Hill v NEP
Jennings @GB

Hill and either DK or Jennings, probably Jennings
Chaka
Footballguy
Bench Pickens for sure.
After that... I guess I would monitor Kittle, if he is out the Jennings is a smash start IMO. If Kittle plays I may consider benching him.
I hate to bench Tyreek, he's on a bit of a run since Tua came back and... I just can't bring myself to bench him.
So that makes it between DK & Jennings and I think both are good choices. GB has a slightly better pass D and the Seahawks are at home so, if Kittle plays, I probably lean DK.
Also, remember to check the weather. It's getting to that time of the season.

I agree with this generally. Keep Hill, bench Pickens. If Kittle doesn't play, go Jennings.
If he does, I would play Jennings for upside or DK for a higher floor, depending on how your matchup looks otherwise.
D question.
Been hording. Have three decent options for this week:
* WASH vs DAL -- Last two Ds against Dallas have smashed. Dallas with O line issues. Wash pass d legit, run D a little weaker, but not sure Dowdle can take advantage. Quinn revenge game...he knows this team. Wash pressure rate is high.
* KC @CAR -- Should be pissed off after loss to Buffalo. Lock down against the run but average against the pass. CAR offense not great, but have improved some so could show some spunk. KC for whatever reason not getting a pass rush.
* TB D @NYG -- T. Devito at QB. Ridiculous sack rate last year. Classic terrible D against a terrible O. To be honest, feels like a trap.
Which?
Thanks

I go WAS > KC >>> TB. Wash will shut down Dallas in the pass and will likely cause some turnovers in desperation time, and Dowdle won't consistently exploit the Wash front 7
He just turned 80 this week. +1 for Sunny reference.
Side note, life comes at you fast. I posted my original flex question Tuesday. Then traded Shakir for Downs yesterday and Downs was my flex plug. Late last night the MHJ owner hit me up for Downs. I pulled the trigger. AR is inconsistent and their upcoming schedule is against brutal defenses. MHJ in the flex over Waddle it is.

This Purdy **** is not what I needed this week.
Fire up Russ or wait and see on Purdy. They're my only options for QB this week in one league.
Hate Thursday night impact of management.

Warren!
Purdy will be playing SF is fighting for post seaon lives imo. But with a shoulder issue they may feed CMC 30 touches. Everyone is saying weather is gonna suck in CLE tonight otherwise I'd say Russ. This is very tough. Nobody on waivers/spot on your roster?
I'd go Njoku. Think he's more likely to hit that 7-catch threshold, and even in bad weather, I don't expect the Browns to be run heavy.
I'd go Daniels. Murray has had a similar issue with TDs at times, and I could see Washington running it up a bit against Dallas, just like Philly did.
I'd lean Warren slightly. Could see a more run heavy gameplan against the Browns, fresh off putting on a non-tackling clinic.
I think Purdy is light years ahead of those other guys, especially with Kittle coming back.
I'd roll with Tillman and hope for some garbage time. Can't really trust Waddle right now, and Dell is hit/miss.
I think Otton is pretty far ahead of Henry. Don't think Evans return is gonna relegate him to being an afterthought.
I think I'd bet on Njoku's superior volume.
If he's playing, I'd be really hard pressed not to start Pacheco against the Panthers. If he's out one more week, I think Meyers would be my pick. Johnston is a little TD or bust for me.
I'd lean Tillman with Robinson back, and I think Ekeler's heavy pass game involvement last week was more of a matchup thing than something to expect going forward.
I think I'd sit Pickens, and go with McLaurin, Taylor, and DK. Weather being a bit of a tie breaker.
Can't see benching Otton for anyone who isn't an elite guy.
Spears>Estime>Johnson.
Rough matchups across the board, but I think I'd lean Chubb.
Weather tonight is stressing me out, got the following calls all in FFPC, TEP.
Najee vs Tillman (Najee seems like easy call but I'd add I'm in a points race, this is last week, need upside)
Tillman vs Laporta (Just to note if I don't use Tillman I'm out of viable options if Laporta or someone else on my team pulls a Tee Higgins and gets hurt in practice)
Pick 2: Juedy, Warren, Waddle, Thielen
Juedy or Warren

I'd go all-in on the Steelers in your situation. Feels like a safer floor to me, as I doubt they are as FG heavy as they were against the Ravens.
I'm gonna go a little bold and say I'd go Benson. He's been starting to see more work, and the coaching staff has said they want him even more involved going forward.
Prefer to avoid Devito if I can. I can see an argument for Kmet given the scoring, but I think I'll say Warren, and hope the Steelers have some of the rushing success the Saints had.
Possibly a bold call given the last couple weeks, but I'd go Hill and DK. I think they are the more talented players and have better matchups.
Even with all those caveats, I still would start the 2 TEs. Hate Jeudy's matchup, and the other 2 aren't really part of the offense right now.
I think ANY defense vs Dallas is a top-5 unit until proven otherwise, so I'd go Washington.
I'd go Warren. Doubs hasn't sustained the role he had initially after his sitout. Steelers could be pretty run heavy tonight.
I've seen nothing to suggest Purdy is in danger of not playing, and he's much better than Russ, so I'd stick with Purdy.
I think Najee is the easy call. Just more reliable, and crucially, not playing the Steelers D.
I'd probably lean LaPorta. Full practice on a Wednesday is pretty much a lock to play Sunday.
Warren>Jeudy>Waddle>Thielen
Standard scoring, Non-PPR league. I need to DROP one of these players for the rest of the year. Please know that either one is only a flex option for me during bye weeks and/or injuries, etc.
Tillman - Has big play ability and Winston is throwing a ton
Downs - Getting a ton of targets in the slot but Richardson is very inconsistent
I need to make the decision today as Tillman plays tonight. As of now, and since this is only a potential flex play, I am thinking of dropping Downs as Tillman may have a higher ceiling (but lower floor).
As always, I really appreciate everyone's input.

I like Otton at TE because of the matchup.
I would normally say Jeudy, and he may be your best option here but monitor the weather closely. If the winds really are in the 25 mph range I would pivot to Mostert and hope for a TD.
Chaka
Footballguy
KC by a good margin. They are objectively the best defense of the bunch.
Chaka
Footballguy
Warren for me. Can't trust Doubs usage IMO and Warren should see 10-15 opportunities.
Chaka
Footballguy
I don't know what is wrong with Purdy so I can't give an informed opinion but, being his throwing shoulder... I think you may have to risk it with Russ.
Chaka
Footballguy
I still go with Najee unless you find credible weather information that suggests the wind gusts wont hit 25+ mph.
You can't drop LaPorta for someone? It's not like he's an auto-start guy. If not I guess you have to go with Tillman even if the reports say LaPorta is expected to play.
I'm going with Warren (I think he gets close to 15 opportunities tonight) and probably Waddle and hope this is his breakout game. Again, if the weather looks like it isn't as bad as feared in Cleveland you can pivot to Jeudy over Waddle but, ATM I think I risk it with Waddle. Not sure how to feel about Thielen. He should be okay but... IDK.
Chaka
Footballguy
Downs without question for me. He's having a great season and doesn't have to contend with weather in Cleveland tonight.
Downs but be warned their upcoming schedule is brutal against pass D (Pats then a bye then Broncos and Titans). Browns schedule against good pass D is bad too. So yeah Downs.
One more...Another Standard scoring non-ppr league:
I need to sit one of these players:
Pickens - Usually a start but bad weather in Pitt
Tillman - Same situation as Pickens
Hunt - Not sure if Pacheco is playing or what the splilt will be
Downs - Good matchup on paper, but has Richardson
Thoughts?

Interesting. Several votes for Wash.
I think KC is the best real NFL D, but fantasy wise, they have only scored double digits once and are mediocre with the pass rush.
Solid floor no doubt, which is maybe something I should consider as a heavy favorite.

I'm sitting Pickens because I think Cleveland will have to pass more.

Answering for a friend... I hope you went with Jacobs.
Chaka
Footballguy
I mean... maybe? I like to think he will continue to see a lot of targets and the schedule is good, for the most part, but it's such an unknown. McBride hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire (average statline 5-61-0) but that's still good enough for TE5 on the season in PPR leagues.
It's really all about your risk tolerance but, yes I think I might do it.
Chaka
Footballguy
Goff. I think Detroit simply scores more points so, hopefully he gets his share.
Chaka
Footballguy
Coin toss. Two offenses that distribute the ball a ton. I guess I go for the home cooking in this one.
Kraft.
-OZ-
Footballguy
I had these two in the FBG contest. Guess how often Goff counted?
Baker gets a worse defense and Evans back. I’d go with Baker.
Chaka
Footballguy
Nix is a fine option with a good matchup and he's mobile.
I still lean Goff because I think Detroit is one of the top two scoring offenses in the league and Denver is middle of the back even with the blowout of ATL.
Chaka
Footballguy
Baker probably. That offense runs through him and he managed six TDs in three games without Godwin & Evans. Evans is back this week against a mid opponent that may be imploding (it's never a good sign when your defensive captain comes out publicly and says he disagrees with the coaches decision to bench the QB). Maybe they rally, maybe they quit.
