Those are your options?
Uhhhh... Wright and hope for a blow out??? Allegedly he's pretty dynamic and can break big plays so...
Seriously, there isn't a way to parse this to any sort of logical answer.
Sorry.

struggling with Herbert at home vs Balt MNF, vs Mahomes on the road vs Car. distance TD scoring league
Chaka
Footballguy
Probably Richardson. Stroud has essentially been a disappointment this season, even when he had Nico. We have to assume Detroit will put more pressure on the Colts to score than the Titans will for Houston.

I'll take Herbert, who's playing like an MVP candidate, against the worst pass defense in the league.
PPR league. RB depth question.
Trying to prepare for the playoffs and acquire key handcuffs. Right now, here's my handcuff situation:
1) B. Hall (have B. Allen).
2) J. Conner (don't have T. Benson...owner refuses to trade to me).
3) J. Jacobs (E. Wilson could be acquired via trade)
4) T. Tracy (not going to bother with Singletary
Question is, would you bother trying to acquire E. Wilson? I'm not sure what would happen in the case Jacobs goes down because C. Brooks is in the mix as well and Lloyd will be back in 4 weeks.
Right now, I could offer B. Corum, A. Estime, or C. Akers for E. Wilson. Akers makes the most sense since the E. Wilson owner also owns A. Jones.
Trade Akers for E. Wilson?
Or just stand pat?
Thanks

I don't know what to think about Wilson but, Corum is one of the prime backups in the league IMO. If you could get Wilson for Estime then, yes absolutely. For Akers it's kinda a push because Akers seems to have a little value regardless of Jones. Corum, I would hold onto.
FWIW I just traded Garrett Wilson for T. Tracy (redraft) and a lot of the reason I was willing to do that is because I have Singletary.
Agree on Corum as a hold.
I think the owner would go for Akers that's the thing. He has A. Jones.
I mean, I already have Jacobs/Conner/B. Hall/Tracy as my four horseman and then I'd have Estime and Corum as upside lottery tickets. That's an RB room that's hard to beat.
Don't you think I could afford to give up any Akers upside (vs Estime)?
As an aside, trying to get Singletary cheap is not a bad idea.

1/2 point PPR
Nabers
Pittman
J. Meyers
I rank them in this order…currently starting Nabers but will pivot if he ends up out. Thoughts?

Monitor Nabers injury, he was DNP today I believe.
I put Meyers above Pittman but I understand if the Denver defense makes you hesitant.

I'm still team Otton here. Great matchup and even with Evans back he becomes the #2 on a team that was able to keep Evans and Godwin heavily involved.
Plus it's a great matchup.
Chaka
Footballguy
I might pivot to Dell.
Then again I only remember the times when I made a late lineup change and it failed so...
That is 100 % me. I’d rather stick with the wrong guy than switch and have the original go off but that’s not really rational I mean switching has to be the right call sometime right?!?
Chaka
Footballguy
As I said, I only remember the ones that failed. It's the way the human brain is wired. I am certain I have had it go right plenty, I just never remember it.

Devito probably has the better matchup by a good margin, he can run a little and he's at home.
My week to week debate has been Purdy vs Goff
Picked up Tua. Purdy out now it's.......
Goff v Tua
Opponent has Tyreek so is the counter a valuable consideration + MIA at home? Side note, he also has Jamison Williams who is currently at FLEX (Goff counter) but I am more concerned w/ Tyreek than I am of Willmams
Second one Standard scoring + PPR;
Nabors vs McConkey?
Nanbors has cooled off...new QB...Herbert heating up but McConkey dealing w/ shoulder and Monday night suggests highly that Nabors is the call..

I'm in a similarly-bad 2QB situation with Purdy out. My choices are:
Tommy Devito vs TB
Cooper Rush at Was
Will Levis at Hou
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

One more person playing Crappy Bye-Week Fill-In RB Roulette. 14-team, non-PPR. Here are my options:
Abdullah v Den
Estime @ LV
Akers @ Chi
Laube v Den
Wright v NE
Currently have Estime but leaning towards AA. Both backfields are somewhat ambiguous, but Ameer would seem to have a better path to touches. Meanwhile, Estime has a much better matchup, so conceivably a better chance of falling into the end zone
If it were PPR this would be an easier choice.

Abdullah in full PPR. Should get a lot of dump offs, so 5-6 catches is a good probability

Footballguy
Yikes but I would go Metchie. Singletary won't get many carries unless Tracy fumbles early in the game. Parkinson has 5 catches combined in the last 5 games.
ignatiusjreilly
Footballguy
Right but would you view it any differently in non PPR?

A lot of weeks it feels like the Lions are content to throw 12 times and run it 50. This may be one of those weeks. Goff may still throw a couple TDs though.
That said, Dallas pass D is tuuurrrrible. Thinking JD gets "right" this week.

I think you're good with either. Tough call because you never know with Goff. I think I lean Tua because of the matchup and I think maybe NE can keep the game a little closer but, really it's a coin toss.

I still go with DeVito here. It's a better matchup, he can run a little and he's at home.
Chaka
Footballguy
Ugh... no idea man. I mean I probably go with Singletary because of the matchup but, really there is no way to unpack this one.
Chaka
Footballguy
If Mattison & Zamir are, in fact, out then I go with Abdullah and hope for a decent touch count. If Mattison plays the I probably go with Akers because he seems to be the bigger part of the offense than the others.
If Mattison is out and Zamir plays... IDK it's close between Abdullah and Akers. Probably Akers but... very close.
Chaka
Footballguy
Wow. I guess Estime and pray, because that Philly defense crushes WRs.
Chaka
Footballguy
I kind of lean with you on Goff here. Because, even if Daniels is healthy I don't think he is going to see touches at the goal line anymore... at least not scripted ones. The Lions are the highest scoring team in the league. They could run for five TDs and give Goff the donut but, I think it's worth the risk here.
Chaka
Footballguy
I'm probably still team Nabers because I hope Devito will lock in on his first read and pepper him with 10+ targets. Not sure if they are good quality targets, but still he seems more locked into his volume. It's also a good matchup.
But, if you're not feeling Nabers I think Ladd is a decent option against a terrible pass defense and a great offense that may put pressure on the Chargers to score.

My current consideration in .5 pt ppr.
Courtland Sutton in a meh matchup vs. LV
or
Jujuan Jennings vs. GB with the valet parking attendant chucking him the rock.
Bye week issues on both sides in this matchup, but I'd still slightly favor my expected starting lineup. Im starting Nix at QB (Burrow on bye), so was leaning JJ to diversify....but the QB gimmick in SF can't be ignored. What say we?

Sutton. He has 38 targets, 28 receptions, 370 yards and a TD over the last four games. He's on a serious roll.
I need a flex starter in the worst way. But my yahoo IR play has made it complicated. Currently in my flex is Thielen vs KC. But my options are him, Pearsall, Trey Benson, Jonathan Brooks or Slayton. Or I would have to drop Elijah Moore and Slayton and probably Benson to pick up and start Laube or Abdullah. I am projected to lose by like 16 already. It’s a 12 team .5ppr/.5ppfd. Sorry for the complicated nature.

Second "conundrum" for me this week...
Wash D/ST vs, Dallas
or
Denver D/ST vs. LV
Both feel "right", but this matchup's basically a must win for me, so I'm trolling for even a couple extra points wherever I can land them. Was leaning Denver, but now I'm waffling.

Not sure I understand. I would start Thielen ove Benson, Pearsall, Brooks & Slayton.
I would consider grabbing Abdullah IF we get confirmation both Mattison & Zamir are out, otherwise I wouldn't.
Not sure why you would have to drop all of Moore, Slayton & Benson to make that pickup but it doesn't seem worth it. At the very least I would definitely keep Moore. Slayton doesn't interest me ATM. Benson is only a lottery ticket.
Chaka
Footballguy
Denver. They're just a better defense and it's a similar matchup.
BobbyLayne

Benson has been getting worked in and ran effectively Weeks 10-11. No reason for them to run Connor into the ground.
Estime cannot be trusted, you have no assurance he will be useful based on volume alone.
Wright had a couple good games but has looked like hot garbage the last couple. The Att/Rec ratio stands at 52:1, and Achane is effectively a bell cow rn.
PPR league. Need a dart throw for flex.
* Will Dissly vs BALT -- Great matchup. Herbert throwing more. Getting 6+ targets the last few games.
* K. Bourne (or Boutte) @MIA -- Maye could be playing catchup. Bourne starting to come around.
* N. Westbrook-Ikine @HOU -- Crazy streak getting TDs and that's about it.
* A. Estimate @ LV -- Great matchup. We were rug pulled last week. He could get some run in a blowout.
* J. Palmer vs BALT -- McKonkey is banged up but expected to play. Still, game could be a shootout and BALT secondary stinks.
Which one?
Thanks
