Week 13 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Full PPR;

DJ Moore @ Det
vs
Garrett Wilson vs Sea

*Bonus Round*

David Njoku @ Den
vs
Hunter Henry vs Ind , Sam LaPorta vs Chi , Zach Ertz vs Ten (LaPorta on bench, others on wire)
Wilson because I traded him for Tracy last week.

I probably roll the dice with Henry. His volume is great with Maye. Njoku is my next choice. LaPorta is last place for me.
 
News just dropped that Dobbins is out this week @ ATL

PPR, looking at a flex play:
Gus Edwards @ ATL #12 v RBs
Quentin Johnston @ ATL #29 v WRs
 
PPR league.

Was planning on starting B. Thomas in the flex and benching T. Tracy. However, the Breece Hall situation has messed things up a bit.

I do have B. Allen as Hall's handcuff so I could just sub him right in if Hall is out. However, if the thinking is that Allen will be significantly less effective than Hall, I could roll with Tracy tmrw. And if Hall is active, I could bench B. Thomas.

Probably over thinking this and should just bench Tracy, start B. Thomas and then let the chips fall where they may with either Hall or Allen.

Thoughts?

Thanks

If I understand correctly Breece Hall's status is questionable and, before that news you were benching Tracy in favor of Hall & BTJ?

Now you're wondering if you should risk Hall's status by starting Tracy, limiting to an either or of Hall/BTJ/Allen vs the status quo of keeping Tracy on the bench and just going with whichever Jets RB starts alongside BTJ. Is that right?

I do like Tracy but, I believe Allen will see similar usage to Hall if Hall is out so, if you already have Tracy on the bench I probably stick with that.
 
Just one -

Hockenson at home vs Cards. This game might be close, and his target share is improving each week. Oliver out last week might have bumped that, but his talent and re-emergence is hard to ignore.

Njoku @ Denver. I can't say much on this, Denver is playing well - might be Winston airing it out in 2nd half. He gets volume, but not in a "make me warm and fuzzy" way.

OK one more -

Tyreek tomorrow in GB +/- 45 ish....he's been a low end WR2 at best this far. But this is Thanksgiving....
or wait until Sunday and play Higgins vs Pittsburgh.....

I'm going to go with Hock in a plus matchup after his big game last week.

And, Tyreek. But I say that because it's always Tyreek.

Frankly, I'm hoping Tyreek continues to underperform because I would love to get him at a big draft value after an off-season of him reading about how he's "lost a step."

Yeah you got that right.

I know I'm overcomplicating this.
 
OK thanks as always. PPR league. Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex.
Jacobs vs Miami Thursday
Tracy at Dallas Thursday
Stevenson vs Indy Sunday
Pacheco vs Las Vegas Friday
Chubb vs Denver Monday
Nabers at Dallas Thursday
Tyreek Hill at Green Bay Thursday
JSN at NY Jets Sunday
Reed vs Miami Thursday
Jameson Williams vs Chicago Thursday

As of now I have Jacobs, Stevenson, Nabers, Hill and JSN. I keep flip flopping between Stevenson and Tracy.

I would roll with your picks.
 
Start 2 WR...Non PPR:
DK Metcalf @ NYJ,
M. Nabers @ DAL
DJ Moore @ DET in a NON-ppr league.

I could really use a TD out of my WR's in this Non-ppr league and Metcalf nor Nabers have delivered in 2 months it seems. Really disappointing

Full PPR. Start 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 Flex
WR and TE are the same position - we don't distinguish

RB Jonathan Taylor at Patriots (Pats 21 vs RB)
RB Chase Brown vs Steelers (Steelers 12 vs RB)
RB Bucky Irving at Panthers (Panthers 32 vs RB)
RB James Conner at Vikings (Vikings 3 vs RB)
WR/TE Ja/Marr Chase vs Steelers (Steelers 6 vs WR)
WR/TE Cooper Kupp at Saints (Saints 29 vs WR)
WR/TE Terry McLaurin vs Titans (Titans 3 vs WR)
WR/TE TJ Hockenson vs Cardinals (Cardinals 7 vs TE)
WR/TE Rome Odunze at Lions (Lions 27 vs WR)
Okay meister, are you really asking if benching Ja'marr is an option? Kupp? Nah, those guys are smash starts.

At RB I honestly think I go with Chase Brown &... am I really going to say Bucky Irving? I'm very tempted but, push/shove I would probably chicken out and go with Taylor. Even if I think Irving is probably the better call at this point.

For WR3 I'm ride-or-die with McLaurin at this point. I wish he got more volume but even with what he gets he's had one down week since week 3.

At flex, I go with whichever RB you didn't choose above. Yes, I leave Conner on the bench for Irving...(And yes, I could chicken out on that too).
Yeah, I'm also leaning Irving over Conner. To me it was almost a no-brainer after both of their performances last week. And Irving against the 32nd best run defense is also appealing.

McLaurin concerns me. Kingsbury is back to nailing him to the left side of the formation, just like he did with Hopkins in Arizona. Dumb, dumb, dumb. But you would think that a guy that can score an 86 yard TD against a prevent defense would get more respect from his own OC.

Hockenson

I have more confidence in Burrow than Tua, go Higgins.
 
Happy Thanksgiving All!

Standard Scoring/PPR

Tua (@ GB) vs Goff (Decker out/Amaon RA hurt)

Nabers (Drew Lock/groin) vs LaDD (did not aggravate shoulder to my knowledge)

Njoku(Denver tough D) vs Freirmuth (Cinci gives up PTS to TE)

Need a W in order to even sniff a chance at the playoffs.

Thanks!
 
I need one flex player in a PPR:

Jonathan Taylor @ NEP (#18 v RBs)
Chase Brown v PIT (#14 v RBs)
Terry McLaurin v Ten (#6 v WRs)
Malik Nabers @ Dal (#18)
DeAndre Hopkins v LVR (#9)
Courtland Sutton v Cle (#27)

At this point, how do I not go with Courtland Sutton?
I'd argue against Sutton. I think Chase Brown is just too hard to sit right now, given his workload, even in a bad matchup.

I am really torn this week in a big matchup: I have a bunch of talented guys-- some not in great situations & I need to sit 1 of them. I really feel like it could go one of about 6 ways

Need 2 RB/3WR/1flex

Achane @ GB
Mccaffrey @ BUF
B Irving @ Car
J Jefferson vs AZ
CD Lamb vs NYG
M Nabors @ DAL
G Wilson vs SEA

Pre-season/early season Data would say Bucky is the sit---> but he is making plays where a bunch of the others, although super highly viewed-- have been insanely inconsistent due to bad qb play, crappy teams, whatever.....

Would love your help
Even though I do like his matchup a lot this week, I think Nabers is the sit.

As always ... thanks for running the thread.

Win and I am in the playoffs ...

STANDARD SCORING ... Pick 2 (Barkley and Collins a lock in the lineup)

ARSB vs Chi (Questionable with knee ATM)
JJacobs vs Miami
CMC @ Buffalo
I'd sit Jacobs. I couldn't bring myself to sit CMC, and the Bills have struggled a lot against RBs. ARSB is an elite WR start regardless of matchups. He's also likely to avoid Jaylon Johnson for the most part.

Need a QB:

Tua @ GB
Darnold v Ari
I'd go with Darnold. Indoors vs outdoors in the cold.

I absolutely hate my WR2. 0.5PPR, do I start:
  • Adams vs. Seahawks Sunday afternoon
  • Reed vs. Dolphins Thursday night
This could be a Reed week with Doubs out, but we know Adams will see 10-ish targets. I lean ever so slightly toward Adams.

0.5 PPR:

WR2 slot:
  • DeVonta Smith vs. Ravens (If healthy)
  • Meyers vs. Chiefs
  • Cooper vs. 49ers
And at flex:
  • Any of the other two listed above
  • Hubbard vs. Bucs
  • Pacheco vs. Raiders (If activated)
I think Meyers is your WR, as he's really the only fully one.

At flex, I think Hubbard is the clear call. TB isn't some rough matchup by any means, and Pacheco could be a little limited his 1st week back.

Here's One:
FFPC scoring:
Need a tight end:

J.Ferguson if playing,or,/L.Schoonmaker if Ferguson out vs NYG
E.Engram vs HOU
I'd go Engram. Safer bet for targets, and probably just a better player.

pick tree
  • Harrison at MIN
  • Reed v MIA
  • Jennings at BUF
  • Dell at JAC
  • Warren at CIN
Reed, Harrison, and Jennings would be my picks. 2 of them likely have trail scripts, and Reed should see more work with Doubs out.

Goff v Bears
Stafford at Saints
Close to a coin flip, but I lean Stafford, just because I think its an easier matchup.

Full PPR

RBs are currently Hall and Monty (said he will play and could have gone back in last game but they were cautious because of short week)
WRs are London and Lamb

Need a Flex
Pacheco vs LV (people say he is back this week, do I roll the dice or wait?)
Hunt vs LV (only if Pacheco is still out)
MHJ @ MIN
Smith (if he is healthy) @ BAL
If Pacheco is surprisingly out, I think Hunt is probably the call, but I think that is highly unlikely, so I lean Harrison.

FFPC scoring:
Need TWO of the following:

D.Swift @ DET
M.Evans @ CAR
D. Mooney vs LAC
Evans is a lock here. The 2nd spot I can see cases both ways, but I lean Swift, maybe a revenge game?

PPR league. Redraft. Need to bench one of these guys...maybe one of my harder decisions of the year.

* J. Conner @MN -- One of the hardest matchups for RBs. The AZ offense and Conner didn't inspire much confidence last week against SEA. Only backs doing damage against MN this year are Kyren Williams (23-97), J. Gibbs (15-116-2), and J. Mason (20-100-1). Conner could be involved in the passing game though.

* T. Tracy @DAL -- Devito is banged up but could still play. Lock may actually be an upgrade. Another fumble. Not good. Could mean more Singletary mixed in. Dallas is getting healthier on D. Could prove spunky at home after a big win too.

* B. Thomas vs HOU -- This may hinge on if T. Lawrence starts. HOU D is surprisingly getting passed on. If he and Lawrence are healthy, he'd be tough to sit.

Note: I'm a large favorite.

Thanks!
I'd feel fine sitting Thomas here. Even if Lawrence is back, how healthy is he?

I've got to win out to have a shot at the 6th playoff spot. Need some help.
Full ppr

Baker at Car or Nix v Cle

Pick two from these three. 6pt rushing & receiving td's
Rhamondre v Indy or Tracy at Dall or Dowdle v Giants

Pick one for my last wr spot
Deebo at Buff or Mooney v LAC

Who at TE
Hockenson v AZ or Otton at Car

Pick one for my flex spot
Tracy, Deebo, Mooney, Dowdle, Hockenson, Otton

TIA!
QB-Mayfield, I just think his matchup is better, and he's probably better too.
RB-Dowdle and Tracy, I think Stevenson is a lot riskier than he looks in a TD or bust way.
WR-Mooney, just can't feel good about Deebo right now, until he shows it.
TE-Both, I like Hockenson a little more due to potential TB beats down Carolina, but no reason to sit either.

Big, tough call. Playoff life at risk! 1/2 PPR

Pick 2:
CMC @ Buffalo
Joe Mixon @ Jax
Bucky Irving @ Carolina

If Purdy doesn't play I may bench CMC :mellow:

Pick 1:
Davante Adams vs Seattle
Deandre Hopkins vs LV
I'm not ready to sit CMC for Irving yet.

I like Adams quite a bit more than Hopkins. Hopkins is TD or nothing, while Adams sees 10 targets weekly.

1/2 ppr need a flex

Warren at CIN
Tracy at DAL
I'd go with Tracy. He's just shown more, and even if his fumbles lose him some work, its not as much as Warren cedes to Najee.

Standard scoring non-ppr league. I need a flex:

Hunt vs LV - Pacheco may be back although I think they slowly work him in.
or
Stevenson vs Ind - Has been a disappointment lately but still getting the bulk of the carries on a losing team.

As always, thanks in advance for the advice.
I'd go Stevenson here. Just a higher ceiling with a bigger workload.

1/2 PPR.

flex RB: Stevenson or McNichols?

Thanks!
I'd go Stevenson here. McNichols could cede a fair amount of work, and I'm also not sure Robinson is out, or if McNichols is just taking the Ekeler work.

D question.

* WASH D vs TN -- Not impressed with their performance against Dallas. However, they face TN now at home. Levis playing better but was sacked 8 times last week.

* Dallas vs NYG -- Dallas getting sneaky healthier on D and face Devito and the NYGs sinking ship. Lock could play, not sure that would make much of a difference.

* BUF vs SF -- Buffalo the best real D of the bunch and probably fantasy wise as well. If Purdy out, no brainer, but need to make a decision by Thursday if Dallas is the choice. Also, it looks like nasty weather is being predicted in Buffalo.

Which?

Thanks
I'd go Washington. Titans have been a goldmine for fantasy defenses because even if they move the ball, they give up sacks and turnovers.
 
Goff vs Chi
Caleb @ Det
Murray @ Minny

thanks
I'd roll with Kyler. Vikings D is a little banged up, and stronger against the run than the pass.

Tua vs GB or Darnold vs Arizona, leaning Darnold.
Take the indoors Darnold over the cold weather Tua.

Andrews vs phi
Or
Jonnu smith @ gb

Pick 1 wr
Jameson williams vs chi
Devonta smith @ bal
Cooper vs sf
Hopkins vs lv

Tampa def @ car
Or
Minnesota def vs arz
I like Jonnu over Andrews. Bigger role and better matchup.

Smith feels unlikely to play to me, or limited if he does. For that reason, I'd go Jameson, even though I think he's either hitting a long TD or going like 2-20.

I'd lean Tampa here. Panthers offense is playing better, but its still not good.

Cousins at home against the Chargers
G.Smith on the road against the Jets

I'm leaning Cousins (at home in dome) but all the rankings I've seen are on Smith...
I'd go with Geno (in the revenge game) here. Just a more pass heavy offense, and who would have guessed before the season, but the Chargers are a much tougher defense than the Jets.

QB... Love has been lackluster this season vs Miami or Russell Wilson vs Cincy? 6pts per passing td
I'd go with Love. Its not like Wilson has been lighting it up and seemingly looks a little worse each week.

RB start 2: McCaffrey (at Buf), Irving (at Car), Kamara (vs LAR), G.Edwards (@Atl)
WR start 3: Smith-Njigba (at NYJ), London (vs LAC), Shakir (vs SF), Jeudy (at Den), J.Williams (vs Chi)
TE start 1: McBride (@Min), T.Hill (vs LAR)
Flex start 1: Any of the above
RB: Kamara, CMC...not ready to sit either of them for Irving yet.
WR: London, JSN, Williams...hate Jeudy's revenge matchup, and think Shakir has a low ceiling.
TE: Both. McBride has a nice matchup, and Hill is simply too involved to sit.

0.5 PPR

Need one:
Smith-Njigba @ the Jets or
Brian Thomas Jr vs Houston

Which TE?
Kraft vs Dolphins or
Gray vs LV
WR: JSN, better offense, better QB play, against a maybe checked out team.
TE: Kraft, both TD dependent guys, so I'll trust the one who is actually a starter.

Love vs Mia
Goff vs Chi

.5ppr Flex
Evans @ Car
Achane @ GB
London v LAC
BTJ v Ari

Need 2
QB is a coinflip, I'll lean toward Goff due to being indoors.

Achane and Evans. Can't see reason not to start either, especially with Tua playing and Godwin not.

Full PPR. Start 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 Flex
WR and TE are the same position - we don't distinguish

RB Jonathan Taylor at Patriots (Pats 21 vs RB)
RB Chase Brown vs Steelers (Steelers 12 vs RB)
RB Bucky Irving at Panthers (Panthers 32 vs RB)
RB James Conner at Vikings (Vikings 3 vs RB)
WR/TE Ja/Marr Chase vs Steelers (Steelers 6 vs WR)
WR/TE Cooper Kupp at Saints (Saints 29 vs WR)
WR/TE Terry McLaurin vs Titans (Titans 3 vs WR)
WR/TE TJ Hockenson vs Cardinals (Cardinals 7 vs TE)
WR/TE Rome Odunze at Lions (Lions 27 vs WR)
I'm apparently (much to my surprise) gonna be the low man on Irving this week, as a I don't think I've recommended him once.

I like Brown and Taylor at RB (huge workloads)
Chase, Kupp, McLaurin at WR, and Hockenson as a flex.

Daniels vs the Titans or Nix vs the Browns? 6 points per passing TD
I like Daniels a lot here, could also see a pass boost if Robinson/Ekeler are both out.

Full PPR;

DJ Moore @ Det
vs
Garrett Wilson vs Sea

*Bonus Round*

David Njoku @ Den
vs
Hunter Henry vs Ind , Sam LaPorta vs Chi , Zach Ertz vs Ten (LaPorta on bench, others on wire)
Moore has been solid since the Bears fired their OC, but I feel a lot better about Wilson.

I'd go Njoku at TE. Just a much better player, with a higher ceiling, and an equal floor.
 
News just dropped that Dobbins is out this week @ ATL

PPR, looking at a flex play:
Gus Edwards @ ATL #12 v RBs
Quentin Johnston @ ATL #29 v WRs
I'd feel better starting Gus. Should be a safe workload bet, whereas Johnston is a more boom/bust option.

PPR league.

Was planning on starting B. Thomas in the flex and benching T. Tracy. However, the Breece Hall situation has messed things up a bit.

I do have B. Allen as Hall's handcuff so I could just sub him right in if Hall is out. However, if the thinking is that Allen will be significantly less effective than Hall, I could roll with Tracy tmrw. And if Hall is active, I could bench B. Thomas.

Probably over thinking this and should just bench Tracy, start B. Thomas and then let the chips fall where they may with either Hall or Allen.

Thoughts?

Thanks
I'd start Tracy regardless of Hall's situation. I just like him more than Thomas.

Just one -

Hockenson at home vs Cards. This game might be close, and his target share is improving each week. Oliver out last week might have bumped that, but his talent and re-emergence is hard to ignore.

Njoku @ Denver. I can't say much on this, Denver is playing well - might be Winston airing it out in 2nd half. He gets volume, but not in a "make me warm and fuzzy" way.

OK one more -

Tyreek tomorrow in GB +/- 45 ish....he's been a low end WR2 at best this far. But this is Thanksgiving....
or wait until Sunday and play Higgins vs Pittsburgh.....
I think Hockenson has earned the start, in what is also a better matchup,

How loaded is your WR room that this is a question? I'd start Higgins any week he's healthy. He's playing the best football of his career this season, and the Bengals D is awful, and the Steelers will likely double Chase a lot. I'd like to start Hill too, but given the weather, I'm not as high on him this week.

Stafford at NO
Richardson at NE
I'd go a little bold perhaps and start Richardson. I think NE is pretty awful all around, and its very likely Richardson has success on the ground.

OK thanks as always. PPR league. Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex.
Jacobs vs Miami Thursday
Tracy at Dallas Thursday
Stevenson vs Indy Sunday
Pacheco vs Las Vegas Friday
Chubb vs Denver Monday
Nabers at Dallas Thursday
Tyreek Hill at Green Bay Thursday
JSN at NY Jets Sunday
Reed vs Miami Thursday
Jameson Williams vs Chicago Thursday

As of now I have Jacobs, Stevenson, Nabers, Hill and JSN. I keep flip flopping between Stevenson and Tracy.
Pretty much agree with you. I lean Tracy over Stevenson, but that's by the slimmest of margins. Just more ability to hit a big play.

1/2 PPR .. Pick 1

LaPorta vs. CHI
Wicks vs. MIA
K.Coleman vs. SF
Noah Gray vs. LV

Need 1 .. Thanks in advance!
I'd go LaPorta. Best odds for a TD I think, despite Gray's recent TD run.

Start 2 WR...Non PPR:
DK Metcalf @ NYJ,
M. Nabers @ DAL
DJ Moore @ DET in a NON-ppr league.

I could really use a TD out of my WR's in this Non-ppr league and Metcalf nor Nabers have delivered in 2 months it seems. Really disappointing
I'd sit Moore. Doesn't see Nabers volume or have DK's big play chops. I agree its been disappointing for TDs, but DK and especially Nabers feels due.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Standard Scoring/PPR

Tua (@ GB) vs Goff (Decker out/Amaon RA hurt)

Nabers (Drew Lock/groin) vs LaDD (did not aggravate shoulder to my knowledge)

Njoku(Denver tough D) vs Freirmuth (Cinci gives up PTS to TE)

Need a W in order to even sniff a chance at the playoffs.

Thanks!
QB: Goff, similar players, with an edge this week for weather.
WR: Nabers, would love to start bothl, but leaning toward the more predictable targets.
TE: Njoku, just a much better player, who is much more involved in the offense. Freiermuth is TD or bust.
 
Happy Thanksgiving

Standard
Hunt vs LV - Pacheco back, but should be blowout
Waddle @ GB - cold weather
Dowdle vs NYG - Thursday close game
Shakir vs SF - calling for snow
Tayson Hill @ Min :hophead:

Need 1 - maybe 2

2 more rb questions and Happy Thanksgiving!

Another ppr assuming B Hall out
Braelon Allen vs Sea
Najee Harris at Cin


1/2 ppr
David Montgomery (Q) vs Chi this morning
Isaiah Pacheco vs LV tomorrow first game back
 
OK thanks as always. PPR league. Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex.
Jacobs vs Miami Thursday
Tracy at Dallas Thursday
Stevenson vs Indy Sunday
Pacheco vs Las Vegas Friday
Chubb vs Denver Monday
Nabers at Dallas Thursday
Tyreek Hill at Green Bay Thursday
JSN at NY Jets Sunday
Reed vs Miami Thursday
Jameson Williams vs Chicago Thursday

As of now I have Jacobs, Stevenson, Nabers, Hill and JSN. I keep flip flopping between Stevenson and Tracy.
Jacobs & Pacheco. If Pacheco is a late scratch I pivot to Rhamondre.

Tyreek for sure IMO. I'm tempted to say Jayden Reed with Doubs out but he's hard to trust when you have an 8 target guy like JSN available. Nabers is also tempting, particularly if Drew Lock plays.

So I probably go with Tyreek, JSN & Nabers to fill out the last three spots. If Devito is at QB for the Giants I probably pivot to Jayden Reed and hope for the best. He has similar big play ability to Williams and he may be in line for more targets.
 
1/2 PPR .. Pick 1

LaPorta vs. CHI
Wicks vs. MIA
K.Coleman vs. SF
Noah Gray vs. LV

Need 1 .. Thanks in advance!
Ugh. I guess I chase the points with Noah Gray in a good matchup. Can't really trust any of them so I go with the hot hand in the best matchup.
 
Start 2 WR...Non PPR:
DK Metcalf @ NYJ,
M. Nabers @ DAL
DJ Moore @ DET in a NON-ppr league.

I could really use a TD out of my WR's in this Non-ppr league and Metcalf nor Nabers have delivered in 2 months it seems. Really disappointing
If it's not PPR then I bench Nabers almost certainly because of QB play and the fact the Giants may have quit already.
 
Happy Thanksgiving All!

Standard Scoring/PPR

Tua (@ GB) vs Goff (Decker out/Amaon RA hurt)

Nabers (Drew Lock/groin) vs LaDD (did not aggravate shoulder to my knowledge)

Njoku(Denver tough D) vs Freirmuth (Cinci gives up PTS to TE)

Need a W in order to even sniff a chance at the playoffs.

Thanks!
I like Tua with the hot hand on a surging/desperate Dolphins team.

I think Ladd is a fine option. Nabers is a "better" talent but that team is just scary ATM.

Cincinnati is pretty much a must play against defense so I probably roll the dice with Muth.
 
Happy Thanksgiving

Standard
Hunt vs LV - Pacheco back, but should be blowout
Waddle @ GB - cold weather
Dowdle vs NYG - Thursday close game
Shakir vs SF - calling for snow
Tayson Hill @ Min :hophead:

Need 1 - maybe 2
I would prefer Shakir in a PPR format. In standard I lean Waddle and hope for the best. I am not sure Hunt's role with Pacheco back and I never discount a Raider/Chiefs game (yes this should be a blowout, so should last year in KC).

All that being said, Dowdle has the best combination of matchup + opportunity.

Taysom Hill has the Rams at home, not @ Minnesota. I like Taysom but he's your Hail Mary guy.

Yeah, I think I go with Dowdle.
 
battle of the qbs

Caleb vs Detroit
B Young vs TB

Thanks
Bryce Young is starting to look a little bit like an NFL QB and he has a nice matchup. He's low ceiling but he should be good for a 200+ & 1TD floor.

Caleb has more upside and is playing well over the last two games. I think, despite the tough matchup he's probably the guy I would roll with.
 
PPR
If Breece Hall is out -
Gus Edwards at Atl (Dobbins out)
Jalen Warren at Cin
I like Jaylen and love his matchup although I think Edwards has a better shot at finding the endzone. Since it's PPR I think I risk it with Warren because he's more dynamic, and is involved in the passing game. I would anticipate Gus to be closer to 50 total yards (0 receptions) and a TD.
 
2 more rb questions and Happy Thanksgiving!

Another ppr assuming B Hall out
Braelon Allen vs Sea
Najee Harris at Cin


1/2 ppr
David Montgomery (Q) vs Chi this morning
Isaiah Pacheco vs LV tomorrow first game back
It might be fun to go with Allen IMO. But, even though I don't think he has much of a ceiling, Najee is in line for 18 touches in a plus matchup. I probably go with him.

I'm team Monty against his old team. But, obviously wait until the gameday update to see if he's active.
 
12 team PPR

Juan Jennings at Bills or
Jakobi Myers at Chiefs

Thanks.
In PPR I'm leaning Jakobi.

However if you know before tomorrow if both Purdy & Trent Williams are set to be active then I pivot back to Jauann. I'm just not sure I would risk it if I wasn't certain about those two.
 
ROS for my 3 QB (not counting this week)

Goff - GB, BUF, at CHI, at SF
Stafford - BUF, at SF, at NYJ, ARI
AR - BYE, at DEN, TEN, at NYG

Which games would you anticipate starting Goff?
 
News just dropped that Dobbins is out this week @ ATL

PPR, looking at a flex play:
Gus Edwards @ ATL #12 v RBs
Quentin Johnston @ ATL #29 v WRs
I'd feel better starting Gus. Should be a safe workload bet, whereas Johnston is a more boom/bust option.

PPR league.

Was planning on starting B. Thomas in the flex and benching T. Tracy. However, the Breece Hall situation has messed things up a bit.

I do have B. Allen as Hall's handcuff so I could just sub him right in if Hall is out. However, if the thinking is that Allen will be significantly less effective than Hall, I could roll with Tracy tmrw. And if Hall is active, I could bench B. Thomas.

Probably over thinking this and should just bench Tracy, start B. Thomas and then let the chips fall where they may with either Hall or Allen.

Thoughts?

Thanks
I'd start Tracy regardless of Hall's situation. I just like him more than Thomas.

Just one -

Hockenson at home vs Cards. This game might be close, and his target share is improving each week. Oliver out last week might have bumped that, but his talent and re-emergence is hard to ignore.

Njoku @ Denver. I can't say much on this, Denver is playing well - might be Winston airing it out in 2nd half. He gets volume, but not in a "make me warm and fuzzy" way.

OK one more -

Tyreek tomorrow in GB +/- 45 ish....he's been a low end WR2 at best this far. But this is Thanksgiving....
or wait until Sunday and play Higgins vs Pittsburgh.....
I think Hockenson has earned the start, in what is also a better matchup,

How loaded is your WR room that this is a question? I'd start Higgins any week he's healthy. He's playing the best football of his career this season, and the Bengals D is awful, and the Steelers will likely double Chase a lot. I'd like to start Hill too, but given the weather, I'm not as high on him this week.

Stafford at NO
Richardson at NE
I'd go a little bold perhaps and start Richardson. I think NE is pretty awful all around, and its very likely Richardson has success on the ground.

OK thanks as always. PPR league. Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex.
Jacobs vs Miami Thursday
Tracy at Dallas Thursday
Stevenson vs Indy Sunday
Pacheco vs Las Vegas Friday
Chubb vs Denver Monday
Nabers at Dallas Thursday
Tyreek Hill at Green Bay Thursday
JSN at NY Jets Sunday
Reed vs Miami Thursday
Jameson Williams vs Chicago Thursday

As of now I have Jacobs, Stevenson, Nabers, Hill and JSN. I keep flip flopping between Stevenson and Tracy.
Pretty much agree with you. I lean Tracy over Stevenson, but that's by the slimmest of margins. Just more ability to hit a big play.

1/2 PPR .. Pick 1

LaPorta vs. CHI
Wicks vs. MIA
K.Coleman vs. SF
Noah Gray vs. LV

Need 1 .. Thanks in advance!
I'd go LaPorta. Best odds for a TD I think, despite Gray's recent TD run.

Start 2 WR...Non PPR:
DK Metcalf @ NYJ,
M. Nabers @ DAL
DJ Moore @ DET in a NON-ppr league.

I could really use a TD out of my WR's in this Non-ppr league and Metcalf nor Nabers have delivered in 2 months it seems. Really disappointing
I'd sit Moore. Doesn't see Nabers volume or have DK's big play chops. I agree its been disappointing for TDs, but DK and especially Nabers feels due.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Standard Scoring/PPR

Tua (@ GB) vs Goff (Decker out/Amaon RA hurt)

Nabers (Drew Lock/groin) vs LaDD (did not aggravate shoulder to my knowledge)

Njoku(Denver tough D) vs Freirmuth (Cinci gives up PTS to TE)

Need a W in order to even sniff a chance at the playoffs.

Thanks!
QB: Goff, similar players, with an edge this week for weather.
WR: Nabers, would love to start bothl, but leaning toward the more predictable targets.
TE: Njoku, just a much better player, who is much more involved in the offense. Freiermuth is TD or bust.
Curious - why are you lower on Irving this week? A lot of rankings guys do have him slightly below Conner, which really surprised me considering how each of them did last week, and each of their matchups this week. Hockenson isn't a bad call at flex - I'm even considering him over McLaurin for a better floor, but probably lower ceiling.
 
Full PPR. Start 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 Flex
WR and TE are the same position - we don't distinguish

RB Jonathan Taylor at Patriots (Pats 21 vs RB)
RB Chase Brown vs Steelers (Steelers 12 vs RB)
RB Bucky Irving at Panthers (Panthers 32 vs RB)
RB James Conner at Vikings (Vikings 3 vs RB)
WR/TE Ja/Marr Chase vs Steelers (Steelers 6 vs WR)
WR/TE Cooper Kupp at Saints (Saints 29 vs WR)
WR/TE Terry McLaurin vs Titans (Titans 3 vs WR)
WR/TE TJ Hockenson vs Cardinals (Cardinals 7 vs TE)
WR/TE Rome Odunze at Lions (Lions 27 vs WR)
Okay meister, are you really asking if benching Ja'marr is an option? Kupp? Nah, those guys are smash starts.

At RB I honestly think I go with Chase Brown &... am I really going to say Bucky Irving? I'm very tempted but, push/shove I would probably chicken out and go with Taylor. Even if I think Irving is probably the better call at this point.

For WR3 I'm ride-or-die with McLaurin at this point. I wish he got more volume but even with what he gets he's had one down week since week 3.

At flex, I go with whichever RB you didn't choose above. Yes, I leave Conner on the bench for Irving...(And yes, I could chicken out on that too).
Yeah, I'm also leaning Irving over Conner. To me it was almost a no-brainer after both of their performances last week. And Irving against the 32nd best run defense is also appealing.

McLaurin concerns me. Kingsbury is back to nailing him to the left side of the formation, just like he did with Hopkins in Arizona. Dumb, dumb, dumb. But you would think that a guy that can score an 86 yard TD against a prevent defense would get more respect from his own OC.
About that point about McLaurin on the left side. I looked at PFF's stats regarding lining up. McLaurin is by far the guy lined up the most on the LHS.
Terry McLaurin - 78% LHS
Quentin Johnston - 66% LHS
Rashod Bateman - 53% LHS

I just think that is really, really, really stupid.
 
Two separate leagues (.5 PPR) - Need 2 Flex for each league

League 1 - Lamb vs NYG, Tyrone Tracy @ Dal, Evans @ Car, Higgins @ Pit

League 2 - Dowdle vs Giants, London vs LAC, Hill @ GB, Harris vs Cinc
