Week 13 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (7 Viewers)

Pick a Thanksgiving QB, facing each other. 6 points/pass TD, 1 point/25 yards
Goff vs GB
Love @ DET

I'm leaning Goff even though GB has a better D than DET. Goff is on the better offense, and Love has passed for 0 TDs in 3 of the past 4 games. But DET's secondary really is beatable, and maybe Love will take advantage.

I actually have the two very close
Maybe whichever one has the ball last and needs a touchdown
I'll give a Lion's Mane hair edge to Goff

D question:

* LAR @CAR -- CAR offense came back down to earth last week. Unless the LAR have some kind of letdown, this game really shouldn't be close.

or

* LAC vs LV -- LAC off a bye and rested. Not a great D, but man, Geno and the Raiders are a disaster right now. Just gave up 10 sacks to CLE. Jenty iffy.

Which D?

Thanks
Chargers
Rested off a bye
Sweet matchup
 
PPR League. I need to start 2 of these 4:

* R. Dowdle vs LAR -- Terrible matchup. More Hubbard than expected last week. If LAR get up, could be the same. Rico managed to eek out double digits last week. Don't see a high ceiling here.

* T. MacMillan vs LAR -- Same game. LAR probably easier to throw on vs. run on. Could be playing catchup.

* RJ Harvey @WASH -- Great matchup. S. Payton could play games here and siphon off touches to Jaleel and Badie, but you'd think RJ will get his share of touches in a game DEN is favored.

* C. Watson @DET -- Good for 4 catches usually and chunk yardage. Other WRs (i.e Golden) could be out. DET banged up in the secondary. He's boom bust often, but this could be a boom week.

Note: I'm a favorite.

Which 2?

Thanks
Win with The Panthers
Yes they will be playing catchup so Mac Millan will eat
Rico will get a lot more touches this week
And he still scored double digits last week even though the coaches forgot he was in the game
 
NO PPR. I am fortunate to have Chase and Smith-Njigba as my 1-2 punch. Need to start a 3rd WR between these....

Odunze @ CHI
Doubs @ DET
Franklin @ WAS

Again, no PPR, so just TD's and yardage points. Pretty much looking for the guy most likely to score a TD.

I'm back to rostering 3 TEs, despite my best wishes.

Pick one:

O. Gadsden v LV
H. Henry v NYG
B. Strange @ TEN

I don't even want to roster TWO TEs if I can help it so I'm hoping this week solidifies who the easiest drop candidate is.
 
I'll start.

PPR:

Zay Flowers @ CIN
Troy Franklin @ WAS
Jameson Williams v GB
I'd go Flowers. He's the most consistent of the group, and despite some recent struggles, I think the Bengals defense is a perfect get right spot for the Ravens offense.
PPR TE:

Schultz @ IND
Pitts @ NYJ

Feels like a total guess.
I'd go Pitts with no London. Didn't really pay off last week, but its still more than Schultz has going for him.
Defense:

ATL @ NYJ
LAR @ CAR
SEA @ MIN

Good options IMO
Seattle is my #1 overall defense this week. I think people saying "go with Brosmer, he can't be worse than McCarthy" are gonna realize why he wasn't playing ahead of JJ.
QB:

Caleb @ PHI
Darnold @ MIN

Darnold seems obvious but, I do worry that Brian Flores has the book on Darnold and may be able to shut him down. Still gotta go with Darnold at this point, right?
I'd go Darnold. I think honestly think the Vikes are pretty close to packing it in.
Caleb or Joe Burrow vs BAL?

Half-PPR Flex:
Odunze @ PHI
D Neal @ MIA
Jamo v GB
While I think Burrow will be rusty, I'd prefer to face the Ravens than the Eagles. I'd lean Burrow this week.

I'd take the shot of Jameson this week. He won't goose 2 weeks in a row, and GB will do a much better job against Gibbs than NYG did.
QB hell this week. Purdy has a rotten matchup and Baker is hurt. Looking to pick up either

Winston @ Pats
or
Lawrence @ Titans

Gulp. Yuck and all those things.

Please rank these RBs

Dowdle vs Rams
Judkins vs Niners
KW3 @ Vikes
Benson @ Bucs (if he plays)
I guess I'd go with Lawrence. Its a good matchup, and in theory, getting Thomas back should help, even if its just opening things up for others.

Benson isn't even a consideration in my eyes. For me its Walker>Judkins>Dowdle this week.
Defense:

HOU @ IND
or
CLE vs SF

Both great DEFs this year, slight lean to CLE being they're home.
I guess I'd go Cleveland, but I think both defenses could have down weeks.
Here we gooooo:
FFPC scoring:
Stuck again:
Need THREE of the following:

A. Jones @ Sea (tough defense)

X. Worthy @ Dall (a little life last week,but another Turkey coming?)

D. Samuel vs Den (nice game before the bye but tough defense this week)

W. Robinson @ N.E. (monster game last week,can he get half of that this week?)

C. Watson @ Det ( boom or bust,can he boom against The Lions secondary?)

O. Gadsen vs LAV ( off a bye after getting crushed by The Jags,rebound?)
I like Gadsden against the Raiders a lot. I think Robinson and Deebo would be my other 2 picks. Jones has a horrible matchup, and Worthy/Watson are too boom/bust, with pretty low booms.
1 Pt PPR...pick 2:

Aaron Jones @ SEA
Judkins v SF
R White v ARIZ
Deebo Samuel v DEN
Judkins and Deebo. I'm not sure White is even the #2 RB in TB.
1 PPR
PICK 2 to start

Josh Jacobs @ Detroit
Chase Brown @ Baltimore
Rico Dowdle vs Rams
Javonte Williams vs KC

Leaning Jacobs and Brown, but Rico could get a lot carries after last weeks abysmal play calling. I like Williams the least.

Thanks
I think as long as Jacobs is playing, he's a lock. I actually like Javonte at the 2nd spot. He's got the biggest role, and he's long overdue for a TD (maybe multiple TD) game. Sounds like Perine will be back for the Bengals, and I think given the matchup, Dowdle is well behind the other 3 this week.
Guillotine - PPR

Pick 2 to BENCH, but both CAN NOT be WRs

Barkley vs Chi
Cook @ Pit
Kyren @ Car
McConkey vs LV
Collins @ Indi
Olave @ Mia

Bijan, Achane, Rice, McBride locked in.
I'd sit Collins and Kyren. Kyren could be looking at another lower workload blowout win, and Collins has a tough matchup against probably the best CB room in the NFL.
Here's another:
FFPC scoring:
Which QB to start:

J. Herbert vs LAV

J. Dart/J. Winston @ N.E.
I'd roll with Herbert in an excellent matchup. Raiders can't cover anything.
Superflex league -

Love at DET
Ward vs JAX

I suspect Love will need to pass more in this game but Love has been pretty bad since Kraft went down and is a little banged up.
I'd go with Love. He's been frustrating, but Ward is a guy to target defensively, not start.
PPR League. I need to start 2 of these 4:

* R. Dowdle vs LAR -- Terrible matchup. More Hubbard than expected last week. If LAR get up, could be the same. Rico managed to eek out double digits last week. Don't see a high ceiling here.

* T. MacMillan vs LAR -- Same game. LAR probably easier to throw on vs. run on. Could be playing catchup.

* RJ Harvey @WASH -- Great matchup. S. Payton could play games here and siphon off touches to Jaleel and Badie, but you'd think RJ will get his share of touches in a game DEN is favored.

* C. Watson @DET -- Good for 4 catches usually and chunk yardage. Other WRs (i.e Golden) could be out. DET banged up in the secondary. He's boom bust often, but this could be a boom week.

Note: I'm a favorite.

Which 2?

Thanks
I don't love it, because I think they'll get blown out, but I'd start both Panthers. Just don't like the touches the other 2 get.
D question:

* LAR @CAR -- CAR offense came back down to earth last week. Unless the LAR have some kind of letdown, this game really shouldn't be close.

or

* LAC vs LV -- LAC off a bye and rested. Not a great D, but man, Geno and the Raiders are a disaster right now. Just gave up 10 sacks to CLE. Jenty iffy.

Which D?

Thanks
I'd go with the Chargers. Raiders are the worst team in the NFL and are firing coaches left and right.
PPR 2RB 1TE

Brown @ BAL
Warren vs BUF
Rico vs LAR
Monangai @ PHI
Neal @ MIA

Ferguson vs KC
Warren vs HOU

1/2 PPR 1QB 1RB 2WR 1FLX

Goff vs GB
Purdy @ CLV

Gainwell vs BUF
Tucker vs ARZ
Pollard vs JAC

Pickens vs KC
Adam’s @ CAR
Olave @ MIA
M Wilson vs TB
Brown and Dowdle at RB, Warren at TE.

Goff, just a better matchup
Gainwell
Adams and Pickens are autostarts
Flex depends on Marvin Harrison. If he's out, go Wilson, if he's playing go Olave.
 
4 points per TD pass. Superflex league with two QBs.

* J. Burrow @BALT -- Could be rusty. No Higgins. May have trouble moving it on the ground. Odds are he's airing it out. In two games last year against BALT Burrow went 30-39-392-5-1 and 34-56-4-0. I'd say that's pretty good.

or

* S. Darnold vs MN -- Stable floor and a serious revenge game after getting booted out of MN last year. A long TD to JSN seems to be a lock every week. With MN giving another QB a look this week, SEA may not need to keep their foot on the gas.

Which?

Thanks

I'm leaning Goff even though GB has a better D than DET. Goff is on the better offense, and Love has passed for 0 TDs in 3 of the past 4 games. But DET's secondary really is beatable, and maybe Love will take advantage.
I ever so slightly lean Love. Just feels like they'll need to pass this week.
NO PPR. I am fortunate to have Chase and Smith-Njigba as my 1-2 punch. Need to start a 3rd WR between these....

Odunze @ CHI
Doubs @ DET
Franklin @ WAS

Again, no PPR, so just TD's and yardage points. Pretty much looking for the guy most likely to score a TD.
I'd go Franklin, against as Washington secondary that is basically down to the backup's backups.
QB (6pt passing TD, -1 sacks):

Dak against KC or Lamar against CIN?
I'll probably be in the minority, but I'm going with Lamar. This is bit of a make-or-break week for me with Lamar though. If it doesn't happen against the NFL's worst defense, its not gonna happen.
I'm back to rostering 3 TEs, despite my best wishes.

Pick one:

O. Gadsden v LV
H. Henry v NYG
B. Strange @ TEN

I don't even want to roster TWO TEs if I can help it so I'm hoping this week solidifies who the easiest drop candidate is.
I'd go Gadsden in an excellent matchup.

Thanks
Burrow may need to shake off some rust
Does it take a game or two or a half?
If the Ravens commit to a ground game it could limit Burrows snaps
Or they may score so much Burrow will need to play catch up
Revenge game for Darnold for sure
How much do The Hawks coaches let him rub it in?
Interesting choices
Probably give Burrow the edge if you think he's "feelin' good"
 
Dynasty, 32 teams need a Qb and WR, and then to drop one of the WR because stroud is no longer IR eligible. Unless he is, in which case I just don’t move anyone.

Stroud in Indy
Ward vs jags

Godwin vs cardinals
Downs vs Texans
Doubs vs lions

Leaning Ward as I’m not confident in Stroud in his first game back. Assuming he is that is.

Doubs is currently in, and unless I drop someone he has to stay in. I think I can just leave Ward and doubs in, and have the illegal roster but I’m not inclined to do that.

Fwiw, I’m tied for 1st and this matchup shouldn’t be close.
 
Having problems filling my last flex spot in .5 PPR

1) Q Johnson @LV. Might be Chargers playing with their food and getting the passing game right. (Allen on WW and could flip him instead)
2) Pierce vs Houston. Not a great match-up.
3) Higgins @ Indy. Rounding into a nice weapon, Mills still in.
4) Pollard vs JAX. Titans looked better last week, and Jags divisional game I tend to throw out the trends.
5) All this doesn't matter if Trey Benson is back

Thanks!
 
Standard scoring, non-PPR league:

Start one of these players:

Chase Brown vs BAL; has been hot
Warren vs BUF; need to catch him on his good weeks
Vidal vs LV; not sure he is even starting yet, but let’s assume he is.

Thanks as always and Happy Turkey day to all!
 
My first WDIS in this thread.

On the fringe at #7, need to be #6 in a 14 team ppr with 1.25 ppr fo TE.

Choose one

Devin Neal @ MIA —- (ranks 22nd against RBs)
Brian Thomas if he plays / or Parker Washington @TEN —- (ranks 30th against WRs)
Alec Pierce vs HOU —- (ranks 2nd against WRs)
Orande Gadsden vs LVR —- (ranks 4th against TEs)

QB- edge to Herbert

TE- very close,slight edge to Kittle

Flex- Warren and Williams,but if you're a gambler you could go Warren and Johnston who I think has a HUGE upside this week. Of course he could lay an egg too.

Boom or bust with Johnston
Allen would be a "safe" play
Floor-Allen

Goff vs GB
Love @ DET

I'm leaning Goff even though GB has a better D than DET. Goff is on the better offense, and Love has passed for 0 TDs in 3 of the past 4 games. But DET's secondary really is beatable, and maybe Love will take advantage.
Goff for the reasons you stated. Home game, better offense.

Goff>Love

Odunze @ CHI
Doubs @ DET
Franklin @ WAS

Again, no PPR, so just TD's and yardage points. Pretty much looking for the guy most likely to score a TD.
Tough call. Odunze has been cold on TDs for 7 weeks and has a brutal matchup. Doubs has been cold on TDs all year.

Franklin is inconsistent catching the ball but, he sees volume, has a TD in 3 of 5 and has the best matchup.

Franklin>Odunze>Doubs
 
QB (6pt passing TD, -1 sacks):

Dak against KC or Lamar against CIN?
It's a risk to bench Lamar but, he has been off since he came back from injury. That being said, the matchup literally could not be better and that's where I lean.

Lamar>Dak
