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?
I'll likely be in the minority, but I'd sit Sutton. I know he's been very consistent of late, but I feel like I like Lamb and Evans more. I'd go Brown, Gibbs, Lamb, Evans, McLaurin, and I'd stick with Love in the SF. I think its really hard to not start 2 QBs in SF, unless your 2nd QB is someone bottom of the barrel, like Mac Jones or something.
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.
While I do think Deebo could have a squeaky wheel game, I don't wanna trust him when you have other solid options. I think as long as McConkey is active he's the guy. unless Irving is inactive, and since they pay each other, you'll know when you choose. Basically, I'd say White (if Irving is out)>McConkey>White (if Irving is playing)>Deebo.
.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 think McCormick has earned the start. I think he's a 60+% guy regardless of the other Raiders RBs health.
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
Despite the egg last week, I'd roll with Jayden Reed. He has the highest ceiling of the group. Harrison would be my 2nd pick, as he's got the highest floor as the only one who is at least some part of the gameplan every week.
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!!
I think sitting Flowers is the right call. Ravens are unlikely to be pushed to pass much against the Giants, and unless he hits a big play early, I could see this being another down week. Just feels a lot riskier than the other, who are all either better, more involved, or both.
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
This is a lot tighter than I'd have though even a couple weeks ago, but I still think Hurts eeks it out for me.
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
Heard nothing to suggest Hall plays, if he surprises and does, I think he's your guy. However, in the meantime, I think Pollard is the play.
Purdy is a lock for me, the 2nd spot is closer, but I lean Winston over Caleb. Just feels like a lot higher floor.
Happy playoffs!
A Richardson @ Den
Love @ Sea
Goff vs Buf
Thx
I'd go with Goff here. Could see this being more a pass heavy game for the Lions, especially if it ends up being somewhat of a shootout.
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
Murray>Nix>Goff is how I view it. Rushing value plays a role in that order a bit.
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
QB is the toughest call, as the Chargers pass D is excellent, but I think I'd still lean Mayfield. Otherwise, I think Puka, ARSB, and Sutton are pretty clear-cut calls.
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
Its a little bold probably, but I agree with you on this being the oops all Robinsons week.
Nico is a lock, and I think Evans is too. The last spot is really tough, but I think I lean Higgins. Tough to sit Jennings, but just trust the Bengals pass game a little more.
Goff at home vs Bills
Or
Mahomes on road Cleveland Browns
?????
I'd roll with Mahomes. Better matchup in my opinion, though Goff probably has a higher ceiling. Always some worry that all the Lions TDs are rushing.
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
I think Nix is the guy here. For the reasons you gave.
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.
I just don't trust Rodgers enough to start him over Love or especially Purdy.
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
The matchup is rough, but I think Swift is the only guy I am confident sees 10+ touches, so he's a lock for me. The 2nd spot is close, but I think I lean Warren. I could see more passing involvement with Pickens out.
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)
TIA
I think you could be overthinking this one. I think Najee is the call here. He might not be efficient, but he'll have 15+ touches, and Moore is a complete crapshoot, especially with Tillman likely returning.
