Starting Ingram and Hyde over Hunt. And rolling with Funches over Dem Thomas. Sitting the suspended gronk for Rudolph.Sitting Ingram over Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Rex Burkhead (flex). Debating sitting Funchess over anyone with a pulse on my roster - have a feeling he is going to be shut down this week.
Wow, that is ballsyRight now my starting lineup has Jamaal Williams and Frank Gore in over Jordan Howard and Kareem Hunt. Championship bracket and I'm going for the big prize. Those two have looked like junk for weeks. I'm nervous about it, but that's where I'm at right now.
Wow. I would probably kill myself if fournette went off after starting Gore over him.Sitting Fournette for Gore.
This seems crazy to me. If gore was lighting it up that would be one thing, but what’s gore’s ceiling in PPR, 15? I’ll roll with the vastly better player with the tougher matchup.Sitting Fournette for Gore.
If you don't like Cam this week, is there someone else you can pick up instead? I would have started Stafford over Brees this week but there's no way I trust Stafford with his injury. So, if there's no one else out there, I'd go with Cam.I have Stafford and Cam. If Stafford can’t go, myfbg says I should play Kizer off the waiver wire. That’s crazy, right? Right!?!?
Gabbert, Hundley, Eli, kizer, not exactly a murderer’s row.If you don't like Cam this week, is there someone else you can pick up instead? I would have started Stafford over Brees this week but there's no way I trust Stafford with his injury. So, if there's no one else out there, I'd go with Cam.
I'll check back in a few days to see how that turns out. I am in set it and forget it mode in general. I couldn't possibly do what you are planning on doing.Not sure if Doug Baldwin in still a stud but I'm sitting him against Jax for Mohammad Sanu (or possibly Tedd Ginn).
It surely could backfire, but Baldwin hasn't exactly been lights out week in and week out and is facing the league's top pass defense and will likely be locked up with Ramsey most of the day.I'll check back in a few days to see how that turns out.

I would not start Gore over Hunt. Hunt has a much better chance at having a big game than Gore does.Right now my starting lineup has Jamaal Williams and Frank Gore in over Jordan Howard and Kareem Hunt.

Baldwin actually has the best matchup for SEA this week. Jax has two shutdown corners but they play outside. Baldwin in the slot should draw Aaron Colvin who is very vulnerable (gave up 6 catches on 6 targets last week). Wilson will have to throw it somewhere and Baldwin on paper has the best matchup. Wouldn’t sit him this week.Not sure if Doug Baldwin in still a stud but I'm sitting him against Jax for Mohammad Sanu (or possibly Tedd Ginn).
That seems crazy too. If Cam had a good matchup that would be one thing, but if Jax is the hardest matchup for QBs, the Vikes are ranked 5th. If you are going to have a crappy matchup either way, just play the better player.,I'm considering sitting Wilson for Cam. Kizer is the best option available on the WW this week but this league rewards passing yards more than anything else, so I really can't use Kizer because his passing yardage floor is too low.
Also, sitting Baldwin no matter what I do at QB for M. Goodwin or D. Westbrook
Just going by watching games (so maybe some statistics will prove me wrong) but I think Baldwin lines up outside far more than he does in the slot. I'd also think he would draw the top corner on most teams since he's the most well rounded WR.Baldwin actually has the best matchup for SEA this week.

Why? Diggs is going to get about 5 targets. You think he might blow up on those numbers or is he suddenly going to get a huge number of passes? Do you have some reasons behind this besides a gut feeling?jeaton6 said:I think you are going to regret this.
So this is where we're at now?DocHolliday said:Considering sitting Mike Evans for Goodwin.
I guess it's not too outlandish but still a gutsy call. Both are WR1 on their teams. SF throws more and the QB might actually be better. Both matchups are good. Could be a case of going with the hot hand but, personally, I'd start Evans but can understand starting Goodwin.So this is where we're at now?
You don't really know if it's ballsy or stupid until after the games are played.Some people confuse ballsy for silly.
You make the best decisions based on the information you have. What happens after that is basically beyond your control. There are lots of bad outcomes based on good decisions at the time you made them (injuries, change in game plan, game flow, defensive scheme change, etc).You don't really know if it's ballsy or stupid until after the games are played.
True, but people seem to have reasons behind their decisions in here beyond it just being a gut reaction. Rather than blast the thread worth a generic catch all insult, maybe try calling out specific move or two and question the thinking? That's how we benefit the board!You make the best decisions based on the information you have. What happens after that is basically beyond your control. There are lots of bad outcomes based on good decisions at the time you made them (injuries, change in game plan, game flow, defensive scheme change, etc).
The key is making the best decision. I think in most cases when you try to get cute, it backfires and people have all kinds of regret afterwards. It also backfires when you make the best decisions, so you're right, you never know until it's over. Good luck either way.
Rotoworld could be talking out of their butt, however:dnurk said:Baldwin actually has the best matchup for SEA this week. Jax has two shutdown corners but they play outside.

Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) is expected to practice Thursday.
Ramsey sat out Wednesday's session, but this practice puts him on track to play. The talented corner should see a lot of Doug Baldwin on Sunday.
I thought I read somewhere that Ramsey did shadow someone in the slot recently.Rotoworld could be talking out of their butt, however:

I got cute several years ago and benched Wilson in a playoff game bc of his matchup. Wilson only scored like 12 points that week, but my replacement was even worse (1 point). Would have won with Wilson's points. I quit benching studs after that.Ned Ryerson said:That seems crazy too.
