So assuming Jalen Hurts is out today, I need to drop somebody to pick up a QB. Full PPR, start 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 Flex.
Here are my options with their Week 14 opponent.
I'm also considering flexing either Sony Michel or Damien Harris over Kyle Pitts, although I might need one of them to cover for CEH if his illness is still an issue. So really I think my possible drops are Kyle Pitts, AJ Dillon, or Jerry Jeudy
Starters this week - showing the opponent next week.
RB Alexander Mattison vs Pittsburgh for week 14
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire vs Las Vegas
WR Justin Jefferson vs Pittsburgh
WR Jaylen Waddle BYE
WR Tyler Lockett at Houston
Flex Kyle Pitts at Carolina
Options to drop
RB A.J. Dillon vs Chicago
RB Sony Michel at Arizona
RB Damien Harris BYE
WR Jerry Jeudy vs Detroit
I also have RB Kareem Hunt in an IR spot so I don't need to touch him this week, but he is available next week.
ETA - Fortunately Hurts is actually Inactive so I could move him to my IR, so no need to drop anybody.

I wouldn't say the Vikings have been shutting down TEs so much lately. They haven't faced but two TEs of Hock's caliber Andrews put up 5 catches and Kittle had one. And Kittle was probably shut down just as much but the game plan (26 passes to 36 rushes) as the Vikings.
If TEs are at such a premium in your league and your gut is telling you to start Hock, then I am not going to try to talk you out of it.
Hop & Barkley are pretty unpredictable ATM.

Footballguy
I absolutely agree with your logic. I love Pittman but after last week I think the Colts are going to run the hell out of Taylor.

Footballguy
Out of that...Id say Michel is a drop. Can't see him playing over most of those guys going forward as it is.
Chaka
Footballguy
I guess Barkley here because he should catch some dump offs and get more usage overall. I worry that Indy is just going to steamroll Houston and limit their passing game.
Barkley>Pittman
Chaka
Footballguy
Jefferson>Parker
I like Parker and how they use him on Miami but I simply can't trust him to stay on the field for four quarters. I have to see him come out of a game unscathed before I will recommend him.
Plus Jefferson is a solid player who pretty consistently gets seven targets/game so, of there is a drop-off it shouldn't be huge.

No -ppr I think you have to go
Ertz>Hines>Jones
I can.see an argument for Hines over Ertz if the Colts roll bit that's a real gut call.
Chaka
Footballguy
If Hurts, the biggest TD vulture in the NFL, is out definitely Sanders.
If Hurts plays I personally still play Sanders because I think he doubles up Jefferson for opportunities (15-7 seems about right to me) and I often choose volume. Plus the Jets are a better matchup for Sanders than the Jags for Jefferson.
Chaka
Footballguy
That's quite the roster dump on Game Day.
The logic on your first choice is understandable.
Robinson>Freeman>... I can see.the argument for Hines getting lots of action in a possible rout of Houston, plus Hines has weekly PPR value. Boyd is all over the map and, IMO, this matchup shapes up to favor Chase & Uzumoh (so?) in the passing game with Mixon running hog wild over the leagues worst rush D.
Hines>Boyd IMO
Choice 2) Bench Crowder I guess. Maybe Shenault. But it's definitely one of those two. IMO Shenault>Crowder but barely.
Choice 3) I would not bench DK this week. Far too much overt talk about getting him the ball after Russ debacled him last week.
Personally I love Moore but don't trust him with Zack throwing yet. His best games, by far, were with Flacco, White & J.Johnson.
I probably go DK>Renfrow>Cooks/Moore

Yaaay, no hurts means I need to go dumpster diving for a QB, my choices
Tua vs NYG
wentz @ HOU
heinicke @ LV
need a W to get into playoffs here

Wentz has the highest upside. There's a chance he does absolutely nothing as the running game dominates and he's pulled at the half, but tua's line is likely to be 200yrd 2td 1int and I wouldn't trust beer man.
Chaka
Footballguy
No on Hasty, Wilson & T.Johnson IMO
In PPR you have to like Meyers in a tough matchup but Buffalo just lost their top DB. I hear weather may be an issue but I haven't looked into it, if it's not heavy wind weather never concerns me. If there is supposed to be truly heavy winds 20+ mph all game, then I pivot.
Shenault also gets decent looks but that team is not very good.
I have a sneaking suspicion CJ will score against the Chargers but not enough for me to suggest risking your fantasy season on it.
Meyers>Shenault>CJ

If he plays, definitely Sanders.
Too much uncertainty in the NE backfield.
M.Sanders>Rhamondre
Non-PPR league flex question:
Damien Harris or Devonte Freeman?
Harris is still splitting carries with RS and looks like snow in BUF tomorrow night.
Not sure what the game plan will be for BAL, but Freeman should benefit. Although I see Lamar outrushing him and probably taking GL.
Note: I also have Andrew's and Brown which makes me lean towards Harris.

Calling me the best will definitely get you places in life.
I like both Moreau and Gage and would consider ditching Burkhead personally. If dude couldn't stat better than 54 yards on 14 touches at home against the Jets how can you possibly start him?
I have said many times in these threads that I like Gage by default. He's the #1 WR in ATL and defenses can't key on him because of Cordarrelle & Pitts. In PPR he's good for 8 targets, what he does with them is anyone's guess but he gets opportunities.
Moreau is a very good one week play against a bery vulnerable pass defense (Landon Collins out too). Carr spreads out the ball for sure, so there is more risk but the Raiders pass game>>ATL pass game. We don't have a lot of Moreau data to go on but he and Waller combined for 10 targets against Dallas, I see him in line for around 8 against WFT.
It's a tough call between those two for me.
Moreau>Gage
Chaka
Footballguy
Looks like WR&TE are combined in your league.
Either way I think you drop Jeudy. He hasn't done anything yet (and if he did this week would you really start him next week?), his opportunities are very sporadic and there are simply too many mouths to feed in Denver to rely on any of their pass catchers consistently.
Pitts is a disappointment but he gets more consistent opportunities and there are far fewer mouths to feed in ATL.
You don't drop Dillon because his value if Jones gets hurt again and he has a little stand alone flex value.
Chaka
Footballguy
Tough call and you should go with your gut.
Tua>Heinicke>Wentz IMO but really it's a coin flip
ETA Because: Tua has the worst run game, Gaskin has more value as a receiver out of the backfield. Indy could/should roll. And it is just as likely to be the Gibson show in LV as anything else.

In standard it's a little closer because Gaskin increases his value with receptions and Ertz seems more likely to find the end zone than Geisiki.
I may pivot to Ertz>Geisiki in this situation.
Gaskin v CEH is closer too. But I think I still lean Gaskin

Jackson doesn't vulture TDs so much in Baltimore.
Freeman is boring but he has 16, 14, 22 & 17 opportunities over the last four games. He is the #1 RB in Baltimore.
Snow doesn't concern me (wind is the only weather factor to watch) but Rhamondre and New England's unpredictable game plans do.
In a vacuum Freeman>Harris
Your high ownership of Baltimore makes it tougher but IMO if Freeman>Harris then...yeah
Chaka
Footballguy
Uhhhh...
No one throws it up deep more, or better than Carr so...why not?
DJax
But really, good luck with all that.
ETA: FTR Shenault is probably the safe/smart play BTW but if the league is really "bad" like you say, then I imagine you are.oit of the playoff hunt and maybe playing for a weekly payout. DJax, calf spasm.or not, is the most fun to watch and, as we saw on Thanksgiving can still blow the doors off of defenses.

I agree.I've been riding Williams all season for that reason as I have a lot of safe floor guys in my week starting lineups.
Chaka
Footballguy
Champagne problems indeed.
I lean a titsch towards Thomas because we know more about him as a player in that offense and what we know is good.
Moreau looks potentially very good and is in the right offense, he could easily outperform Thomas but I think Thomas has plenty of floor and ceiling to make him the right call.
Thomas>Moreau
dmac37
Footballguy
I think Thomas starts to establish himself as a top half starting TE 1 beginning this week

Yeah if it wasn't for my other two good teams this season would have been depressing lol. Some way I'm still in the playoff hunt in this one if I win the next two but I need the upside for sure. For you I'd go Williams and Mooney.Uhhhh...

DST question, points for sacks and turnovers and defensive TDS. Lose points for yards and points allowed…
Colts @ HOU
Vikings @ DET
Patriots @ BUF?
Colts are currently starting but have been reading about bad weather in Buffalo tomorrow night so wonder if that isn’t a good opportunity to keep riding the Pats DST?

PPR. Jones on bye, Henderson out. Boston Scott or Matt Breida at RB2?

Pick 3 between:
Sanders vs Jets
Higgins vs LAC
M Williams vs. CIN
Jefferson vs Jax
Higgins out right now, but tough call

With now Darrel Henderson active I've got a lineup dilema and looking for last minute help
PPR league, flex spot
Sony Michel or Van Jefferson
Opponent has Stafford going at QB if that matters

OK here's a kicker question. I know.
Down by a little over 2 points. I've got both Bass and Folk rostered on MNF.
Who do I start?
3 pts for a FG under 40
40-49 4 pts
50+ 5 points
1 pt. XP
-1 missed FG or XP

Folk has been better across the board all season and he's increased his edge on Bass as the season has progressed.
You're probably fine with either but Folk is probably the choice.

Locked in a tight one virtually even against Josh Allen, I have NE Defense and have to choose either Beasley or Stevenson for my flex. It will be hard to outscore Allen but want to give it a shot. Beasley or Stevenson?

This such a tough game to try and get a handle on. I honestly have no inkling, of a shadow of a hint about the game flow.
Buffalo riding emotions to a blowout? Absolutely.
New England methodically pounding Buffalo into the dirt on the way to a blowout? Absolutely too.
My lone and exclusively gut feeling is this shapes up as a Beasley game more than a Rhamondre game. I think it will be hard fought enough that Buff will need Beasley's sneakiness to convert third downs and Buff will score enough to make Mac Jones and the passing game work just enough to limit the NE RBs.
Beasley>Rhamondre but really no idea.

Minshew had a nice game versus the Jets. Ceriani has already come out and said that the job is Hurts's when he gets back. Philly has a bye this week followed by three division games.
Tua has been playing well over his last three games completing 78% I think, he also has a bye this week but exits the by with a nice home matchup against the Jets followed by two tougher Roadies, on paper, against the Saints and Titans.
I think you're far more likely to get value rest of season with Tua then with Minshew.
Thanks. I am torn on my QBs. I NEED a win this week and loss by an opponent to make the playoffs so I am looking at this week as the end of the world. I have Hurts, Tua and Hill. Only Hill is potentially playing this week.Chaka said:
I think I can roster all 3 another week since there is garbage on the waiver wire. If Hill looks like a no go I will have to pray I choose a good choice to replace him.
