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

4pt passing TD

2 leagues, Purdy involved in both:

Purdy v Rams
Caleb @ Vikings
—————
Purdy v Rams
Jameis v KC

I’m leaning Purdy in both, but you know how this week goes - second guess everything.

Thanks
 
My team is in shambles with injuries. I have to start Sincere at RB2 with Bucky injury. If Bucky plays I will flex Sincere. But if Bucky doesnt play which one of these scrubs do I play at flex:

Patrick Taylor vs Rams
Jaylen Warren vs Eagles
TJ Hockenson vs Bears
Tank Dell vs MIA
I'd roll the dice with Taylor. You know the limitations of the others, There's hope with Taylor.
What about if Guerrendo plays (he practiced today limited)
 
Richardson at denver
Goff v bills

All tds are 6 points

Goff at home in the dome.

Need 1 RB in a PPR league, and with 1 pt per 10 return yards

Najee @ PHI
Warren @ PHI
McCormick vs ATL

Also I'm an underdog, so could use some upside

Is it crazy to think McCormick is my best choice? He might even have both a higher floor and higher ceiling than Najee

Warren might have the highest floor, especially if he returns a kick or two, but his ceiling seems limited

Is McCormick getting any passing Work? If so I lean him.
 
PPR- 6 per all TDs. Bonus for 40+ yard TDs

Kyler Murray vs NE
Anthony Richardson at Denver

Kelce at Browns
Laporta vs Buffalo

Pick 1- DJ Moore at Vikings, Laporta vs Buffalo, Hopkins at Cleveland, B. Allen at Jacksonville

Get cute at kicker or just stick with Aubrey who FBG hates this week. Tucker, Moody, Reichard, McManus, Lutz
 
Is McCormick getting any passing Work? If so I lean him.
2 receptions each of the last two games, while Najee is averaging just a little over 2/game this year

Plus I can't shake the feeling that even though Najee has been pretty good at avoiding disaster weeks this year, I keep thinking he's due for one as he had multiple disaster games last year
 
Richardson at denver
Goff v bills

All tds are 6 points
Goff for me. I hate predicting game scripts but I'm not seeing a lot of defense in that game.

Richardson has been a lot more consistent since the Failed Flacco Experience (TM) but I still see him as a high variance option.

It's not crazy at all. He's been money. Personally, I think McCormick is getting a long look for next season.

Mattison's status clouds his situation. If Mattison plays he may cap McCormick.

If Mattison is out, I'm good with McCormick. If Mattison plays I probably lean Najee.

Kyler
LaPorta (hope I am wrong as I am playing against him

I have Tucker and Moody and going with Moody, but still lean Aubrey ever so slightly over them both
 
Squeezed into the playoffs...

Standard scoring + PPR

Starting Justin Jefferson at WR but need to select another WR and FLEX so need to pick two from the following three:

Nabers - beat up + Devito + BAL D
McConkey - beat up + late game (I do have Palmer on reserve if I gamble and "hope" he plays then does not)
Kupp - Thursday night game

**leaning Kupp/McConkey (assuming he practices Thurs and/or Friday)

Also,
Warren or Bigsby?
 
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?

I am sitting Nabors myself.

If you’re favored to win, I would take the safe play here - if it’s easier to get to 20 points with Love, then start the qb. I’m probably sitting McLarin because of the lower volume for Evans or Lamb - lean Evans because of the QB. If you are not using Love in the flex, then use Evans/lamb.

Nabors, Kupp

Very small lean to Warren, tough call.
 
Standard scoring, already starting Collins and Monty, so I need TWO from the following options

J.Jennings vs Rams - great matchup, playing well with Ayiuk out
C.Brown @ Titans - almost un-benchable
D.Achane @ Texans - ditto
J.Meyers vs Falcons - soft matchup and 36 targets through 3 weeks makes him viable
A.Thielen vs Cowboys - similar to Jennings, lots of targets lately

I guess I have to lean Brown and Achane but Jennings is making me pause. Anyone start Jennings over those two is what it comes down to?

Brown and a small lean to Jennings over Achane. You have some great choices there.

I'd roll the dice with Taylor. You know the limitations of the others, There's hope with Taylor.
What about if Guerrendo plays (he practiced today limited)
I probably pivot to Jaylen and hope the RBs are heavily involved in the run game with Pickens out.
 
PPR
Need 2 (1 RB and Flex)
Guerendo Vs LAR (Not sure if risk/reward is worth it because of health issues. Started Irving last week)
Dowdle @ Car
Walker or Charbonnet vs GB
Bucky Irving @ LAC (Still worried about health issues)
Garrett Wilson @ JAX
Smith-Njigba Vs GB
TIA for your advice!!
 
.5 PPR
BTJ vs Jets
London @ LV
Evans @ LAC
Rhamondre @ Ari

Need 1 flex
Evans.

Close between Evans and London.
Vegas offense may be a disaster and you'd have to worry about Vegas getting blown out, and Atlanta not having to pass a lot.

Charges offense competent enough to keep it a game, Bucky is banged up, I would expect Baker to throw enough for Evans to get his looks.

Sauce is tough, not sure what Lawrence's status is, but I'm guessing he's not 100% even if he goes.

Rhamondre is always risky with the current iterration of the Pats.

Dowdle and Wilson

Carolina the worst team vs RB's for fantasy purposes
Jacksonville the 4th worst team vs WR's for fantasy purposes.

Guerendo banged up
Bucky banged up.
 
Stafford @ SF
Stroud vs MIA
Mayfield @ LAC
Pick one
Stafford.

Looks like most places have Stroud ranked the highest, but I would go Stafford.

LAC is 24th in FPPG given up to QB's
Miami is 30th
SF gives you the best matchup as the 21st defense vs QB's

Rams/49ers have the highest over/under.

I think I'd hitch my wagon to the Kupp/Puca combo and pray it rains points.

Achane and Brown.

Both top 10-top 15 options this week.

Jennings a great option, hard to bench, but for Achane and Brown, I'd sleep just fine benching him right now.

Agree with your lean

Kupp slam dunk. McConkey as long as he plays.

If it's looking positive after Friday practices/injury reports, I'd hold out for Ladd and pivot to Palmer if you have to.
If it's looking grim, I'd go Bigsby over the other options.

If it's up in the air--I'd probably hold out for McConkey and then you can always pivot to Warren or Palmer if need be.
 
Full PPR league. Dare I risk starting Guerendo tonight? He says he playing, but even if he does, we don't know how many snaps he'll get vs his backup. And he could go out and re-injure himself just like Bucky Irving last week. Here are my current starters. I can swap Guerendo in for anybody:

Brian Robinson @ NO
James Cook @ DET

AJ Brown vs PIT
Jameson Williams vs BUF
Jakobi Meyers vs ATL
Malik Nabers vs BAL

If I start Guerendo, I think Nabers would be the one to sit. Even though he's dinged up, he played almost every snap last week. Tommy DeVito at QB doesn't inspire confidence, but they're going against Baltimore who has a bad pass D and should have the lead all day, keeping NYG passing.

I might consider sitting Cook, as well. As crazy as that sounds, if Buffalo ignores the run game like they did last week, Cook could have another clunker. But I don't think I can risk leaving Cook on the bench, and I have to hope he's involved in the pass game during what should be a high-scoring game.

The simple answer is: don't risk it with Guerendo's injury, and stick with what I have. But I welcome any other opinions! Thank you.
 
This one is almost too disgusting to post, but I gotta ask. 32-team league where we start one RB. Need to pick one, so let's just assume for argument's sake that they are all active this week.

Mattison LVR vs ATL
R Johnson CHI @ MIN
Rodriguez WAS @ NOS
Brooks GB @ SEA

Obviously, if Mattison and/or Johnson are inactive, it makes the decision easier. That said, there is a good chance both play. Mattison has been relegated to backup duty, however. Thinking Johnson if he plays, just based on goal-line opportunities, with Rodriguez a close second (given he did so well in Week 13, and the likelihood that WAS gets out to an early lead again). Or, maybe that's enough of a possibility to make Rodriguez the front-runner regardless (since Ekeler is gone)?
 
This league is the opposite of the one I posted above (too many choices here). Full PPR.

Pick 3 of these RB. If Walker plays, Charbs is the obvious choice to sit. If not?

- Charbs SEA vs GB
- Conner ARI vs NE
- Robinson ATL @ LVR
- Robinson WAS @ NOS

Also, pick 3 of these WR.

- Adams NYJ @ JAC
- Brown PHI vs PIT
- Higgins CIN @ TEN
- Reed GB @ SEA
- Shakir BUF @ DET
- Smith PHI vs PIT

I think Adams and Brown are probably obvious starts, especially with all of the talk about Brown wanting more targets this week. Reed is probably a sit after last week's dud (too risky, even though I think he bounces back). And, I can't see myself starting both PHI WR's given their inclination to run first. That leaves Higgins or Shakir for my WR3. Leaning slightly towards Shakir, just because BUF is going to need to put up points to keep up with DET. At least that is what I'm thinking at the moment.
 
I'm projected to win my matchup by a few points but we all know how unreliable the apps' projections are.

Cousins at LVR - love the matchup although he's been absolutely terrible lately

Winston at KC - he throws no matter what and they'll have to keep up with the KC O

AR5 at DEN - matchup isn't the best but he runs and this is an important game for both squads

Maye at ARI - could be higher-scoring?

I *MAY* be without Breece Hall too, so may need a "swing for the fences" option at QB.

And, if Hall *IS* out, I have these options:

Abdullah vs. LVR - gets a few catches, not much else

Homer at MIN - like Abdullah, will probably get a couple catches, meh

Tucker at LAC - would be a good play if Irving's back keeps him out

Miller vs. WAS - If Kamara is out (unlikely) he's definitely the play... he may be the play regardless if Hall is out
 
Full PPR, Superflex 12 Team, No kicker

Trying to decide between Kraft and Jonnu at TE and Rachaad White and QJ in flex. I finally made the playoffs and I want to get this right! lol.

TE: Currently leaning Jonnu because I feel like Kraft has too much variation in target share with the talent in that WR room, but I feel like he might have more upside than Jonnu this week (but a much lower floor). Jonnu also hasn’t let me down yet.

Flex: Leaning White but I am starting to think maybe Quentin is the better play here because Tampas defense is so bad.

Here is my current starting lineup if anyone interested:
QB: J. Allen
RB: C. Hubbard
RB: K. Williams
WR: D. Adams
WR: C. Kupp
TE: J. Smith
Flex: C. Sutton
Flex: R. White
OP: D. Henry
DST: Vikings
 
Apologies, but this is a combo "Who do I start/drop?" question.

14-team non-PPR, start 2 RB/3 WR/no flex. With Njoku's injury I have to pick up a TE. Here are the options:

Schultz vs Mia
JJohnson vs Was
JSanders vs Dal
Calcaterra vs Pit
Smartt vs TB

The correct answer is "Who the hell knows?" since I'm basically just hoping for a TD. But I'm leaning Smartt based on the matchup, LA's use of the TE this year, and the fact that he showed something last week after Dissly went down.

The bigger question is who I drop. There are no obvious candidates, and whoever I drop will very likely get picked up. But it has to be someone.

Starters
QB: Nix
RB: Bijan, BRob
WR: Nico, Evans, Jennings
TE: Njoku
K: Bates
DST: Denver

Bench
QB: Jameis
RB: Kamara, Guerendo
WR: Higgins, Adams

First step is probably to see what happens tonight with Guerendo. Maybe his injury is worse than we've heard, or he reinjures it. Or maybe he stinks and they decide Taylor is the new starter. Point is, I have very little to lose by waiting. Stone Smartt ain't going anywhere, and even if he does, I'll take a flier on someone else.

But let's assume the takeaway coming out of the game is that Guerendo is still the guy to own in SF's backfield. What do I do then? I could still end up dropping him, since it's unlikely he'll end up starting for me in the next two weeks. I could drop Kamara, who I'm benching this week over concerns with NO's offense. But that seems crazy.

I could drop Jameis and just roll with Nix the rest of the way. But he has a dream matchup with Cinci next week (and Nix has the same matchup in Week 17), so I was kind of depending on that platoon.

Even though I have five WRs for three slots, I can't imagine dropping any of them. They're all too good.

I could drop Njoku. I already know he's missing one of the three playoff games, and the nature of hamstring injuries means he could miss more. But I'll be really bummed if he's back next week, on someone else's roster, and I'm stuck with a replacement-level TE
 
Freiermuth, Pat PIT TE @ PHI Sun
Otton, Cade TBB TE @ LAC Sun

PPR

thanks!
I'll jump in here because I have the same choice and I chose Freiermuth because of superior production recently. Otten had a blip earlier but not since Evans returned. I'm also currently starting 'Muth over Engram mostly because I am an underdog and I need something from my TE, more than 3 catches for 27 yds.

Tucker at LAC - would be a good play if Irving's back keeps him out

Miller vs. WAS - If Kamara is out (unlikely) he's definitely the play... he may be the play regardless if Hall is out
Tucker is the swing for the fence guy. No confidence in Irving playing a full game. If Kamala is out, play Miller instead.

About the qbs, I would go Winston, then Cousins, Winston is playing at home, not KC. AR5 is awful and couldn’t rely on him with your season on the line.
 
Full PPR league. Dare I risk starting Guerendo tonight? He says he playing, but even if he does, we don't know how many snaps he'll get vs his backup. And he could go out and re-injure himself just like Bucky Irving last week. Here are my current starters. I can swap Guerendo in for anybody:

I wouldn’t play Guerendo and I would play Cook.
 
Freakin' Guerendo...

Need to decide between rolling the dice with him tonight vs. waiting to see if Pollard is a full go Sunday...and if he isnt, then having to go with Tracy vs. Baltimore. :sick:
 
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.
 
Full PPR need a TE and FLEX

TE Options

Muth @ PHI (PIT may not have GP again, but PHI pass D is nuts)
Henry @ AZ (Solid PPR TE)
LaPorta vs BUF (FWIW I have and always start Monty from DET too)

Flex Pick 1

MHJ vs NE (spotty but could go off, might be shadowed by Gonzalez)
Smith vs PIT (same as MHJ, spotty, playing against good defense too)
I like LaPorta quite a bit more than the other 2, much more upside, and probably a better matchup, also not a bad pairing with Monty.

I guess Harrison, though I can't say I love him this week. If this is the same league, I'd consider flexing Henry, just to get that safer floor.
Standard non ppr, 3 of these 5.... Harrison vs NE, Garrett Wilson vs Jax, Kupp vs SF, Thielen vs Dallas, Addison vs Chicago.
Kupp is a lock as he's a TD threat weekly. I think Wilson against the Jags is also a lock. I'm hesitant to fully trust Thielen, and don't love Harrison's matchup (could see a run heavy Cards gameplan) so I lean Addison for that 3rd spot.

Do or die week

0.5 PPR

Pick 3:
Brian Thomas Jr vs Jets
Drake London at Raiders
JSN vs Packers
AJ Brown vs Steelers
Odunze at Vikes
100% on board with squeaky wheel AJ Brown vs weak CBs. I think London against the Raiders is too good of a matchup to sit, especially given his targets. 3rd spot is tough, I don't see Odunze as a real option among these guys, so its between JSN and Thomas, and I give a slight lean toward JSN, as the Packers aren't great against slot WRs, and that game feels more likely to be a shootout than Jags/Jets.

2pt per Rec / 1pt per 10yd rec / 6pt TD

Njoku vs KC
Henry vs AZ

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?
Njoku if he's playing.

My team is in shambles with injuries. I have to start Sincere at RB2 with Bucky injury. If Bucky plays I will flex Sincere. But if Bucky doesnt play which one of these scrubs do I play at flex:

Patrick Taylor vs Rams
Jaylen Warren vs Eagles
TJ Hockenson vs Bears
Tank Dell vs MIA
I think TJ Hockenson is my pick here, and to be honest, I like him more than Bucky too.

0.5 PPR, 6 pts all TD's

QB - Need 1 - turned into a lot harder decision of late
Daniels at Saints
Darnold vs Bears
Nix vs Colts

Flex - Need 1
Downs at Broncos
McLaughlin vs Colts
McCormick vs Falcons
ETN vs Jets
I don't sit Daniels. I think he's in that always start category already.

I like McCormick the most of that group. Most involved, and its not like ATL is a bad matchup.

Richardson at denver
Goff v bills

All tds are 6 points
Especially with 6 pts for all TDs, I think Goff is the call here.

Need 1 RB in a PPR league, and with 1 pt per 10 return yards

Najee @ PHI
Warren @ PHI
McCormick vs ATL

Also I'm an underdog, so could use some upside

Is it crazy to think McCormick is my best choice? He might even have both a higher floor and higher ceiling than Najee

Warren might have the highest floor, especially if he returns a kick or two, but his ceiling seems limited
I get the temptation to sit Najee, but I think he's still you best option.
 
4pt passing TD

2 leagues, Purdy involved in both:

Purdy v Rams
Caleb @ Vikings
—————
Purdy v Rams
Jameis v KC

I’m leaning Purdy in both, but you know how this week goes - second guess everything.

Thanks
Purdy is your guy.

PPR- 6 per all TDs. Bonus for 40+ yard TDs

Kyler Murray vs NE
Anthony Richardson at Denver

Kelce at Browns
Laporta vs Buffalo

Pick 1- DJ Moore at Vikings, Laporta vs Buffalo, Hopkins at Cleveland, B. Allen at Jacksonville

Get cute at kicker or just stick with Aubrey who FBG hates this week. Tucker, Moody, Reichard, McManus, Lutz
Kyler is my pick at QB, way better matchup, and probably just player in general.

He's been a little down this year, but I'm still starting Kelce. I do like LaPorta though, and would be willing to flex him.

I like Reichard at K. Vikings move the ball, and don't usually score 5 TDs like last week.

Mahomes or Bo Nix? 6 pt passing TDs

JSN or James Cook in flex? Non-PPR but bonus of +3 for over 100 yards.
Feels weird to say, but I think I prefer Nix to Mahomes.

Really tough flex call, but I think even in non-PPR, I still slightly prefer JSN.
Squeezed into the playoffs...

Standard scoring + PPR

Starting Justin Jefferson at WR but need to select another WR and FLEX so need to pick two from the following three:

Nabers - beat up + Devito + BAL D
McConkey - beat up + late game (I do have Palmer on reserve if I gamble and "hope" he plays then does not)
Kupp - Thursday night game

**leaning Kupp/McConkey (assuming he practices Thurs and/or Friday)

Also,
Warren or Bigsby?
Kupp is a lock. I think I'd go Nabers over McConkey, just because we don't know how healthy McConkey is, and he's not on the level of players to wait for.

I like Bigsby over Warren. He's been better whenever healthy this year, and neither matchup is good.

Standard scoring, already starting Collins and Monty, so I need TWO from the following options

J.Jennings vs Rams - great matchup, playing well with Ayiuk out
C.Brown @ Titans - almost un-benchable
D.Achane @ Texans - ditto
J.Meyers vs Falcons - soft matchup and 36 targets through 3 weeks makes him viable
A.Thielen vs Cowboys - similar to Jennings, lots of targets lately

I guess I have to lean Brown and Achane but Jennings is making me pause. Anyone start Jennings over those two is what it comes down to?
I understand the temptation to start Jennings, but I'm not moving off Brown and Achane. Just too consistent since Moss injury/Tua return.

Defense !

Phi vs Pitts
Minny vs Chicago

Which team will allow the least points ?
I'd go with the Vikings, and I say that as a Bears fan.

PPR
Need 2 (1 RB and Flex)
Guerendo Vs LAR (Not sure if risk/reward is worth it because of health issues. Started Irving last week)
Dowdle @ Car
Walker or Charbonnet vs GB
Bucky Irving @ LAC (Still worried about health issues)
Garrett Wilson @ JAX
Smith-Njigba Vs GB
TIA for your advice!!
I'd go with Rico Dowdle and Garrett Wilson, with the caveat that if Walker gets ruled out before Sunday, I'd go Charbonnet over Wilson.

.5 PPR
BTJ vs Jets
London @ LV
Evans @ LAC
Rhamondre @ Ari

Need 1 flex
I'm not sitting Evans for any of those other guys, matchup be damned.

Freiermuth, Pat PIT TE @ PHI Sun
Otton, Cade TBB TE @ LAC Sun

PPR

thanks!
I think Otton is the higher floor and ceiling play.

Stafford @ SF
Stroud vs MIA
Mayfield @ LAC
Pick one
I know Stafford blew up last week, but I think SF's D is a lot better than Buffalo's. I go Mayfield.

Quick one.

Nix vs IND
Purdy vs LAR
Love Purdy tonight, and think he's the play.

Full PPR league. Dare I risk starting Guerendo tonight? He says he playing, but even if he does, we don't know how many snaps he'll get vs his backup. And he could go out and re-injure himself just like Bucky Irving last week. Here are my current starters. I can swap Guerendo in for anybody:

Brian Robinson @ NO
James Cook @ DET

AJ Brown vs PIT
Jameson Williams vs BUF
Jakobi Meyers vs ATL
Malik Nabers vs BAL

If I start Guerendo, I think Nabers would be the one to sit. Even though he's dinged up, he played almost every snap last week. Tommy DeVito at QB doesn't inspire confidence, but they're going against Baltimore who has a bad pass D and should have the lead all day, keeping NYG passing.

I might consider sitting Cook, as well. As crazy as that sounds, if Buffalo ignores the run game like they did last week, Cook could have another clunker. But I don't think I can risk leaving Cook on the bench, and I have to hope he's involved in the pass game during what should be a high-scoring game.

The simple answer is: don't risk it with Guerendo's injury, and stick with what I have. But I welcome any other opinions! Thank you.
I'd just sit Guerendo. Too risky.

This one is almost too disgusting to post, but I gotta ask. 32-team league where we start one RB. Need to pick one, so let's just assume for argument's sake that they are all active this week.

Mattison LVR vs ATL
R Johnson CHI @ MIN
Rodriguez WAS @ NOS
Brooks GB @ SEA
Man, a 32-team league sounds miserable. Like 1-2 injuries and the season is over...which I guess accurately describes the NFL too.

I guess Mattison would be my pick. He's the only one I feel good saying he'll see 5+ touches.

This league is the opposite of the one I posted above (too many choices here). Full PPR.

Pick 3 of these RB. If Walker plays, Charbs is the obvious choice to sit. If not?

- Charbs SEA vs GB
- Conner ARI vs NE
- Robinson ATL @ LVR
- Robinson WAS @ NOS

Also, pick 3 of these WR.

- Adams NYJ @ JAC
- Brown PHI vs PIT
- Higgins CIN @ TEN
- Reed GB @ SEA
- Shakir BUF @ DET
- Smith PHI vs PIT
Honestly, I love Conner and the Robinsons matchups so much this week, I'd probably sit Charbonnet even if Walker sits.

I think Brown and Higgins are locks. The 3rd spot is close for me, but I think Adams matchup really pushes him to the top.

I'm projected to win my matchup by a few points but we all know how unreliable the apps' projections are.

Cousins at LVR - love the matchup although he's been absolutely terrible lately

Winston at KC - he throws no matter what and they'll have to keep up with the KC O

AR5 at DEN - matchup isn't the best but he runs and this is an important game for both squads

Maye at ARI - could be higher-scoring?

I *MAY* be without Breece Hall too, so may need a "swing for the fences" option at QB.

And, if Hall *IS* out, I have these options:

Abdullah vs. LVR - gets a few catches, not much else

Homer at MIN - like Abdullah, will probably get a couple catches, meh

Tucker at LAC - would be a good play if Irving's back keeps him out

Miller vs. WAS - If Kamara is out (unlikely) he's definitely the play... he may be the play regardless if Hall is out
Winston>Richardson>Maye>Cousins

I'd say Miller unless Irving is out, then I'd say Tucker.

Full PPR, Superflex 12 Team, No kicker

Here is my current starting lineup if anyone interested:
QB: J. Allen
RB: C. Hubbard
RB: K. Williams
WR: D. Adams
WR: C. Kupp
TE: J. Smith
Flex: C. Sutton
Flex: R. White
OP: D. Henry
DST: Vikings
I think you have it right probably. I could see maybe flexing Kraft over White if Irving is playing, but that's about it.

Apologies, but this is a combo "Who do I start/drop?" question.

14-team non-PPR, start 2 RB/3 WR/no flex. With Njoku's injury I have to pick up a TE. Here are the options:

Schultz vs Mia
JJohnson vs Was
JSanders vs Dal
Calcaterra vs Pit
Smartt vs TB

The correct answer is "Who the hell knows?" since I'm basically just hoping for a TD. But I'm leaning Smartt based on the matchup, LA's use of the TE this year, and the fact that he showed something last week after Dissly went down.

The bigger question is who I drop. There are no obvious candidates, and whoever I drop will very likely get picked up. But it has to be someone.

Starters
QB: Nix
RB: Bijan, BRob
WR: Nico, Evans, Jennings
TE: Njoku
K: Bates
DST: Denver

Bench
QB: Jameis
RB: Kamara, Guerendo
WR: Higgins, Adams
I think Smart is the right play, and as long as Guerendo doesn't get hurt worse tonight, I think Winston is the drop.

I'd also start Higgins over Jennings, but that's just me, and they are close.

Last minute Thursday Night opinion:
FFPC scoring:

Start Guerendo
Or plug in Jayden Reed?
This is one of the spots, where I'll take my chances with Guerendo.

Freakin' Guerendo...

Need to decide between rolling the dice with him tonight vs. waiting to see if Pollard is a full go Sunday...and if he isnt, then having to go with Tracy vs. Baltimore. :sick:
Pollard>Tracy>Guerendo in my opinion.
