Week 15 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY [s]UN[/s]OFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Now with 100% more Official

This is where we ask questions and offer help.

Thank you to all the posters who come here to offer that help.

A couple notes:

I attempt to give well considered responses to all questions posted. I can't get to everything, but I'll try.

1) This only works if people participate. If you ask for help it is good form to offer help to someone else.

2) Please post the matchup. e.g. Cousins vs Den or James Cook @ Mia

3) Please post important league scoring considerations (e.g. PPR, super-flex etc).

4) Please go easy on the nicknames, save that for other threads. We can't help if we don't know who you are talking about.

View this as an exercise to help focus your thoughts about teams in general. Players you own may not be involved in these WDIS questions but certainly you will own players on many of these teams. Analyzing other players will help you identify things you may have otherwise not considered.

(Joe Edit: When you ask, please let us know which way you're leaning. And more importantly, why. What do you see as the pros and cons. Most people will be much more likely to help if they feel like you've put in a little work on this as well.)

Let's move on to week 15

Tough week for me here.

PPR

I need two RBs:
Chase Brown @ TEN (#20 v RBs)
Jahmyr Gibbs v BUF (#30 v RBs)
David Montgomery v BUF (#30)
Jonathan Taylor @ DEN (#14)

I need two WRs:
Mike Evans @ LAC (#16 v WRs)
CeeDee Lamb @ CAR (#28)
Terry McLaurin @ NOS (#24)
Malik Nabers @ BAL (#30)
Courtland Sutton v IND (#11)

I need one Flex from the above options.

It's a Super Flex league and I have been rolling with Jared Goff & Jordan Love but am seriously considering benching Love at this point. Would anyone bench Love for any of the options not selected?

My Logic-ish:
Using week 9 as a cutoff (I don't like to use full season stats at this point in the year as it ignores trends) Montgomery has nearly identical PPG to Jahmyr (13.3 ppg to 13.5 PPG) making them RBs #8 & #9 over that span. Chase Brown is RB#2 at 18.2 PPG. Montgomery seems like a great flex option against the run funnel Bills defense.

At WR both CeeDee and Nabers are going to get 10 targets and has a great matchup but they really feels like all floor and no ceiling. CeeDee is WR #23 (12.2 PPG) since week 9 & Nabers is WR #32 (11 PPG).

Sutton OTOH is WR #4 at 17.6 PPF and hasn't had a down game. McLaurin is relatively low volume but has been incredibly productive as the WR #11 at 14.8 PPG and that includes a week 11 one point dud. That was McLaurin's first dud game since week 2. And can you discount Mike Evans?

RBs are easy in my opinion, I will keep Brown/Gibbs in PPR. WRs more complicated to me, will be hard to start Terry over Lamb or Evans, even Sutton is close call but I am ok to start him.

 

[Drezden]

For PPR, consider Deebo against the Rams, R. White facing the Chargers, or Ladd McConkey going up against Tampa. Ladd is currently injured, White has a challenging matchup, and it's uncertain if Irving will be playing. Deebo hasn't been performing well lately, and I really hope he plays on Sunday instead of Thursday.
I need 1 from those 3.

 

[Game Time]

.5 ppr/ .1 per yard, 6 points per TD. McCormick is hot g he and but he plays Monday night and Abdullah might be back???

Swift
Sincere McCormick
Jaylen Warren
Tank Dell

 

[BobbyLayne]

Per the league lineup rules, I have to start two of these moops in the quarterfinals:

• Jayden Reed at SEA
• Marvin Harrison Jr vs NE
• Tank Dell v MIA
• Jaylen Warren at PHI

Fortunes (and problems of) a 10 team league.

 

[Goooals]

Playoffs, baby! 3 of 4 teams in. The one I didn't make I missed it by 5 total points in the tiebreaker.

Here is a good problem to have. PPR league and I need to start 3 of these players:

T. Hill vs @HOU - He has come on as of late and I won't be sitting him
London vs @LVR - Cousins has been hurting his efficiency lately
McLaurin vs @NO - Has put up points, but has had a decrease in targets
Flowers vs @NYG - He is either in the game script or not; there doesn't seem to be an in between

As always, I appreciate all the feedback from the various Sharks!!

 

[Neal Cassady]

Really only have 1 tough decision this week. 12 point favorite. IDP start 1 QB..6 pt per TD pass

Jalen Hurts vs Pitt
Sam Darnold vs Chicago

Have played Hurts all year, but hesitant this week. Not sure I can pull the trigger and insert Darnold, but my gut says he scores more. Being a heavy favorite, I’d need the guy with the highest floor.

Thanks

 

[-OZ-]

Ppr SF pick one
sincere McCormick vs Atlanta
pollard vs Cincinnati
Breece hall @ Jax - as he’s not 100%
I currently have pollard as the auto sub if hall is out, but is anyone confident in hall if he plays?

PICK two QBs
Caleb MNF @ MIN
purdy vs Rams TNF
Bryce Young vs Dallas
Winston vs chiefs
Leaning Brock and Caleb

I think I’d have to start hurts at home. Darnold could score more, but I’d feel dumber for benching hurts if he had a great game.

[kyoun1e]

Defense question...for next week:

* BUF vs NE -- At home, maybe weather will be involved if lucky. Just got smoked by LAR which is alarming, but then again NE's offense is not the LAR O. Maye is spunky, but that O line is no good so sacks and TOs are possible.

* DET @CHI -- Detroit a bit banged up on D, but somehow getting it done. This could be a letdown game I must say after a big game with Buffalo this week. Maybe they get healthier next week? C. Williams seems like a sack machine.

* INDY vs TN -- Honestly need to look at Indy's stats. My gut tells me they are a mediocre real life and fantasy D, but Levis tends to make stupid decisions.

* ATL vs NYG -- Classic crappy real life D vs. crappy offense. ATL was impressive against the LAC, but have had trouble getting to the QB.

Which?

This is one of the most difficult one's I've seen in a bit. Part of that is because all of the options are great.

I've got Lamb in a bunch of leagues and continue to play him because the other options just aren't as good. I can't fault you for sitting him.
For NYG: Lock isn't a total disaster, but Nabers hasn't been the elite guy you want him to be this time of year.

I think I'd feel the best with Evans or Montgomery.

On the year, the Bills give up the 3rd most FPPG to RB's. Both backs could cerainly eat. It's just always tricky playing 2 backs from the same team. You potentially limit your ceiling. Though it's possible they both blow up.

LAC ranks 20th in WR PPG allowed. Still, Evans is Evans. He's heathy. He's got his starting QB.

I think I'd go Evans but Montgomery also super reasonable.

As far as the SF, I'm still going Love.

14-team non-PPR, start 2RB, 3WR, no flex. I'm a slight favorite in my first-round playoff matchup.

RB
Bijan @ LV
Kamara @ WAS
BRob vs NO
Guerendo vs LAR

Have been starting Bijan and Kamara all season, but given the situation in NO I think I have to double up on BRobinsons this week

WR
Nico vs Mia
Evans @ LAC
Higgins @ Tenn
Jennings vs LAR
Adams @ Jax

I feel like Nico and Evans have to be in every week, even with tougher matchups. That leaves one spot for Higgins, Jennings and Adams. Went with Higgins last week and got burned, plus Tenn is a tougher matchup. But I'm trying not to overreact to recency bias; he's been a stud when healthy all year. Jennings is probably the higher floor, although as we saw last week there's also some upside. Adams has also looked good as of late and has probably the best matchup, but I worry that Jets offense could implode at any moment

 

[jm192]

Defense question...for next week:

* BUF vs NE -- At home, maybe weather will be involved if lucky. Just got smoked by LAR which is alarming, but then again NE's offense is not the LAR O. Maye is spunky, but that O line is no good so sacks and TOs are possible.

* DET @CHI -- Detroit a bit banged up on D, but somehow getting it done. This could be a letdown game I must say after a big game with Buffalo this week. Maybe they get healthier next week? C. Williams seems like a sack machine.

* INDY vs TN -- Honestly need to look at Indy's stats. My gut tells me they are a mediocre real life and fantasy D, but Levis tends to make stupid decisions.

* ATL vs NYG -- Classic crappy real life D vs. crappy offense. ATL was impressive against the LAC, but have had trouble getting to the QB.

Which?

Thanks

I *think* Buffalo.

Maye has been good for an INT a game. 11 sacks in his last 3 games. I can see Buffalo jumping out to a big lead early and forcing NE into passing situations.

Atlanta is my 2nd favorite. NYG offense is overall pretty messy, OL banged up. Lock not completely incompetent.

Levis hasn't thrown an INT (somehow) the last 2 weeks

Caleb the most likely QB of the 4 to go Nuclear and burn you.

Bijan and Brian. Can't imagine Ike goes at all, on the short week, and if he does how effective would he be with a bum wheel?

Probably would lean Jennings slightly over Tee, just because the Rams game is more likely to be a "shootout", IMO, but I think both will likely produce this week.

 

[LionOfGosforth]

First conundrum this week, standard scoring, need one of these QBs

Herbert vs Bucs - had this one penciled in for weeks but his injury plus that of his weapons has me re-thinking
Winston vs Chiefs - yeah could be ugly this one, he'll throw plenty but might break the int record
Nix vs Colts - never used him, just looks a softer matchup than the others

One thing everyone needs to think about are these Ds/teams and if they wrap up a playoff spot and have nothing to gain/lose.

BUF I guess could still get KC for #1 although unlikely, but more important they are tied with PIT at 10-3 right now so no worries for next week anyway.

 

[Zow]

Tough week for me here.

PPR

I need two RBs:
Chase Brown @ TEN (#20 v RBs)
Jahmyr Gibbs v BUF (#30 v RBs)
David Montgomery v BUF (#30)
Jonathan Taylor @ DEN (#14)

I need two WRs:
Mike Evans @ LAC (#16 v WRs)
CeeDee Lamb @ CAR (#28)
Terry McLaurin @ NOS (#24)
Malik Nabers @ BAL (#30)
Courtland Sutton v IND (#11)

I need one Flex from the above options.

It's a Super Flex league and I have been rolling with Jared Goff & Jordan Love but am seriously considering benching Love at this point. Would anyone bench Love for any of the options not selected?

1. Agree with Brown and Gibbs - especially if you're an underdog. If you're a significant favorite I could see a strategy in starting both Detroit RBs.
2. Lamb is a no brainer for me. Volume is still there even with Rush, he has a good matchup, and he's the best WR of your options. I'm surprised you are even considering not starting him. Now, the WR2 is tough. Evans is the next best player (Nabers' post-concussion hasn't looked the same to me) so I also find it hard to sit him, but the McLaurin matchup is a nice one. Nonetheless, Lamb and Evans for me.
3. Flex is a RB. Probably Montgomery but Taylor works too. Both just have too much of a guaranteed floor.
4. I would not bench Love. QBs just have too high of a floor and he's been fine all year.

 

[Zow]

Goff at home vs Bills
Or
Mahomes on road Cleveland Browns

?????

I have this same choice in a very QB heavy scoring league (may also be able to grab Nix off the WW). So, curious as to this answer. I'm a slight underdog.

 

[Zow]

Speaking of QBs, I have this decision in a 4 pt. passing SF league where I'm a slight underdog:

Choose two of:
Purdy v. Rams
Love v. Seattle
Rodgers v. Jacksonville

I'm pretty set on Purdy on Thursday so it's probably more of a Love v. Rodgers question but wanted to give all options since Purdy isn't quite in the same tier as an auto-start like Alle, Hurts, Lamar, or Burrow.

 

[Zow]

First conundrum this week, standard scoring, need one of these QBs

Herbert vs Bucs - had this one penciled in for weeks but his injury plus that of his weapons has me re-thinking
Winston vs Chiefs - yeah could be ugly this one, he'll throw plenty but might break the int record
Nix vs Colts - never used him, just looks a softer matchup than the others

Are you a favorite, neutral, or dog?

Favorite - Nix (highest floor)
Neutral - Herbert (reasonable floor with higher ceiling)
Underdog - Winston (highest ceiling, as always; lowest floor, as always - gotta love Jameis)

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

First conundrum this week, standard scoring, need one of these QBs

Herbert vs Bucs - had this one penciled in for weeks but his injury plus that of his weapons has me re-thinking
Winston vs Chiefs - yeah could be ugly this one, he'll throw plenty but might break the int record
Nix vs Colts - never used him, just looks a softer matchup than the others

Are you projected as a favorite or underdog? I personally feel Nix is the safest middle of the road option. I actually have the exact same three guys and as of now I have nix penciled in. I may change my mind if we get news about McKonkey. I do think Herbert has a potentially higher ceiling in what could be a high scoring affair. Denver on the other hand might not have to throw as much if they’re defense stifles the Colts. I’m stashing Winston for the future if I get that far, but don’t think I would use him this week.

A couple of quarterback opinions please:
FFPC scoring:

Team A: K.Murray vs NE
B.Nix vs IND

Team B: J.Goff vs BUFF
B.Nix vs IND

Team C: K.Murray vs NE
J.Goffr vs BUFF

Flip a coin.

Fantasypros has them:

Nix
Murray
Goff

FBG Has them:

Murray
Nix
Goff

Buffalo gives up the 29th most FPPG to QB's. In part because everyone runs on them.
New England ranks 11th
Indy ranks 12th.

Kyler has done more with his legs on the year. I can see the Denver/Indy game being one where the Denver defense forces Richardson into multiple turnovers, and Nix never has to throw that much. Not saying that will happen, but we're at the point of nitpicking 2 super close options where the difference is razor thin.

I think I'd go Kyler, Nix, Kyler

Speaking of QBs, I have this decision in a 4 pt. passing SF league where I'm a slight underdog:

Choose two of:
Purdy v. Rams
Love v. Seattle
Rodgers v. Jacksonville

I'm pretty set on Purdy on Thursday so it's probably more of a Love v. Rodgers question but wanted to give all options since Purdy isn't quite in the same tier as an auto-start like Alle, Hurts, Lamar, or Burrow.

Rodgers has the chance for the higher upside if that’s what you need. Love just doesn’t seem to throw more than a TD a game.

Hard to answer as my opponent hasn't set their lineup yet but likely pretty even. Going against Lamar though, never fun.

14-team non-PPR, start 2RB, 3WR, no flex. I'm a slight favorite in my first-round playoff matchup.

RB
Bijan @ LV
Kamara @ WAS
BRob vs NO
Guerendo vs LAR

Have been starting Bijan and Kamara all season, but given the situation in NO I think I have to double up on BRobinsons this week

WR
Nico vs Mia
Evans @ LAC
Higgins @ Tenn
Jennings vs LAR
Adams @ Jax

I feel like Nico and Evans have to be in every week, even with tougher matchups. That leaves one spot for Higgins, Jennings and Adams. Went with Higgins last week and got burned, plus Tenn is a tougher matchup. But I'm trying not to overreact to recency bias; he's been a stud when healthy all year. Jennings is probably the higher floor, although as we saw last week there's also some upside. Adams has also looked good as of late and has probably the best matchup, but I worry that Jets offense could implode at any moment

Bijan (duh) and Kamara (too many guaranteed touches)

Nico, Evans, and Higgins. I get the thought for Jennings, but Higgins is just too good.

 

[Neal Cassady]

Ppr SF pick one
sincere McCormick vs Atlanta
pollard vs Cincinnati
Breece hall @ Jax - as he’s not 100%
I currently have pollard as the auto sub if hall is out, but is anyone confident in hall if he plays?

PICK two QBs
Caleb MNF @ MIN
purdy vs Rams TNF
Bryce Young vs Dallas
Winston vs chiefs
Leaning Brock and Caleb

Pollard

Purdy
Winston

Ok so somehow, someway, I’m controlling my destiny with a team that drafted CMC and Nakua first two rounds. 0-3 to 3-6 to 8-5. Win and I’m in the playoffs. Half PPR. Need an RB 2 and it’s rough.
Swift versus Minnesota
Warren versus Philadelphia
Vidal versus TB
Chubb versus KC

Swift will be the highest ranked but man way at a rough patch and matchup.
I’m wondering if Warren could get some opportunity if they fall behind? Vidal is a dart throw and I don’t think I can use Chubb. Ford and Algiers are in the WW.

TIA

Yeah I have the benefit of Purdy and Puka going Thursday night so I likely will know whether I can be more conservative with Love or need to be more risky with Rodgers heading into Sunday.

Eesh.

Yeah, I put Swift in without much thinking about it. The others are total dart throws and seem similarly ranked this week (including your WW options) - except I probably wouldn't consider Vidal. Gun to my head I think I'd actually go Chubb because he has the highest odds for a TD probably, but I understand why you say you don't think you can play him.

Warren probably has highest ceiling but I actually think Pittsburgh plays Philly close so I don't think the game script will be a bunch of second half Warren check downs.

 

[Chaka]

For PPR, consider Deebo against the Rams, R. White facing the Chargers, or Ladd McConkey going up against Tampa. Ladd is currently injured, White has a challenging matchup, and it's uncertain if Irving will be playing. Deebo hasn't been performing well lately, and I really hope he plays on Sunday instead of Thursday.
I need 1 from those 3.

He's definitely playing on Thursday.

This is one of those situations where everything seems to be pointing to Deebo. Guerrendo looks likely to be out, Deebo has been chirping on social media and the team is responding and it's a good matchup in a must win game. I would probably risk it with him as I believe the team is going to work hard to get him involved. But he probably has the lowest floor of your options, assuming Ladd plays, so it comes down to your risk aversion. I have no problem keeping him on the bench and rolling with Ladd if he plays or Rachaad if Ladd is out. If Ladd plays and Irving is out I probably go with Rachaad over Ladd.

 

[Zow]

Here we Gooooo

.5 PPR

1QB, 2WR, 1FLX

Mayfield @ LAC
Stroud vs MIA

St Brown vs BUF
Puka @ SF
Sutton vs IND
Theilen vs DAL
McConkey vs TB
P Taylor vs LAR

Guess I really need a QB and FLX

I can't tell if it's superflex. Further, I'm not sure why you're asking about 2 WRs are ARSB and Puka are the obvious choices. Assuming you just need one QB and a flex I like Stroud and Sutton. Though, if McConkey gets a clean bill of health, I'd go McConkey.

If Irving is out, I actually disagree with the bold as White probably catches 5 passes out of the backfield. I'd go White if we get confirmation Irving is out.

.5 ppr/ .1 per yard, 6 points per TD. McCormick is hot g he and but he plays Monday night and Abdullah might be back???

Swift
Sincere McCormick
Jaylen Warren
Tank Dell

I want to say Swift because he has the best path to 15+ touches. He hasn't done much in three weeks and it's a tough matchup but he has the best path to opportunities and, in this situation I think that should be a strong driver.

If you hate Swift this week, and there is reason to do that, then I go with McCormick because it's a good matchup and, IMO he is being given a full audition for his role next year even if Mattison is back this week.

 

[Zow]

Per the league lineup rules, I have to start two of these moops in the quarterfinals:

• Jayden Reed at SEA
• Marvin Harrison Jr vs NE
• Tank Dell v MIA
• Jaylen Warren at PHI

Reed for sure. The rest probably depends on whether you're a dog or favorite. If you're neutral or a favorite, I probably like MHJ because he has the highest floor.

 

[Chaka]

Per the league lineup rules, I have to start two of these moops in the quarterfinals:

• Marvin Harrison Jr vs NE
• Tank Dell v MIA
• Jaylen Warren at PHI

Harrison & Warren pretty easily IMO. Dell has to be viewed as a non factor at this point and you only start Reed, IMO, if you need some kind of home-run game (and can withstand a goose egg if that does not happen).

 

[Chaka]

Playoffs, baby! 3 of 4 teams in. The one I didn't make I missed it by 5 total points in the tiebreaker.

Here is a good problem to have. PPR league and I need to start 3 of these players:

T. Hill vs @HOU - He has come on as of late and I won't be sitting him
London vs @LVR - Cousins has been hurting his efficiency lately
McLaurin vs @NO - Has put up points, but has had a decrease in targets
Flowers vs @NYG - He is either in the game script or not; there doesn't seem to be an in between

As always, I appreciate all the feedback from the various Sharks!!

Despite the solid matchup I am benching London. Your other options have good matchups too and, are on teams that don't look like they're imploding. Not saying the Falcons are imploding but they sure seem to be trending that way.

 

[higgins]

Standard scoring w/ 1 ppr — my flex spot:

Najee Harris (at Philly),
Elijah Moore (vs KC)

Looking at Moore’s ppr upside vs Najee plodding against Philly (w/o Pickens)
