Win and I’m in the playoffs and lose and I’m out. 3rd highest point total but highest points against (by over a 100 points) so find myself 7-7. Simple decision- Baker or Darnold?
This is one, where I'd go with Mayfield. Its easier to see a scenario where the Seahawks are just running out the clock in the 2nd half.
Both questions are for the same team.
4pts passing TD
Nix vs GB or Mariota @ NYG?
.5 PPR
Already starting Nico + AJB. WDIS as my WR3?
Diggs vs Buff
Sutton vs GB
M. Wilson @ Hou (assuming MHJ is out)
I'd actually go Mariota against the only pass D worse than the one he faces in practice.
I think if Marv is out (sounds like he will be) Wilson is the clear call there, even in his toughest matchup.
TE : T.Warren with no Daniel JOnes but good Matchup or Fanning?
leaning torwards Fannin right now. This week's match should be neck and neck.
I'm rooting for Rivers, but I'm not betting on him. Especially given the matchup, I'd roll with Fannin, though I do think the hype train is maybe a little ahead of the tracks. He's still got Sanders at QB.
Dak vs MIN
or
Dart vs WAS
Pretty standard scoring other than only 3 pts per passing TD.
Scoring system makes it closer, but I still trust Dak more. Dart has said the coaches have told him to run less.
I’m going to need a few home runs if I have any shot of winning this week. First order of business is 2 RBs. PPR with bonus points of TDs longer than 40 and 50.
Monangai vs. CLE
Hampton @ KC
Jeanty @ Philly
Then I’ll need a flex option I don’t choose at RB vs.
Vele vs. Carolina
Warren @ Seattle (Starting Kittle at TE)
I think you go with the 3 RBs. Best TD chances with Hampton and Monangai, and Jeanty has a lot of PPR scam appeal with Pickett.
1 PPR for WR/RB, 1.5 PPR for TE
Debating if I should keep my current lineup, which is:
RB2 Javonte Williams vs MIN
WR3 Christian Watson @ DEN
TE Jake Ferguson vs MIN
FLEX TreVeyon Henderson vs BUF
I have some tempting TEP bench options though that maybe should replace Ferguson and/or move into the flex over one of the RBs?
Harold Fannin @ CHI
Kyle Pitts @ TB
Isaiah Likely @ CIN (dream TE matchup)
I also have two very tempting WR kick returners since return yards count the same as rushing/receiving yards, making them absolutely elite options if they're returning kicks and recording even modest production in the receiving game, perhaps creating additional flex competition:
Chimere Dike @ SF
Rashid Shaheed vs IND
However, TEN was stuck taking touchbacks on all but one kickoff last week, and it's hard to get a read on SEA's return game
But I'm also scared of Surtain covering Watson
Even with the return yards caveat, I can't see starting either of them, for the same reason you said, touchback potential. I think Watson moves around enough that he won't see 100% Surtain, and Love is on fire, I'd stick with Watson, expecting WR2 level numbers. I'd actually sit both Ferguson and Henderson and start Pitts and Fannin given the 1.5 PPR for TEs, and Lamb likely being in for Dallas.
PPR League. A Mike Evans question.
Activated off of IR and looks like he'll be playing tmrw night. Who knows how much, but Baker has been struggling and I'd think he'd be welcomed back with some targets, maybe in the endzone.
Understanding the options below, do you sit Evans for any of them?
* D. Vele vs CAR -- CAR not bad on pass D. Vele been getting some targets. Game indoors.
* A. Pierce @SEA -- Terrible matchup, in Seattle, looks like some weather, and it's possible P. Rivers starts. Ooof.
* RBs C. Rodriguez/K. Monangai/B. Corum -- A bunch of TD dependent RBs although each of them have been finding the endzone and success.
Start or sit Evans?
Thanks
I'd start Monangai over Evans. Bears are super run heavy, Browns aren't gonna make them get out of that (and got crushed by Pollard last week) and its supposed to be awful weather for that one, leading to likely even more runs.
Dak vs Minnesota or Dart vs Washington? 6 points per passing TD.
I like Dak by quite a bit in this scoring system.
Team Defense thoughts ...
Dallas v MIN (SNF)
KC v LAC
PIT v MIA (MNF)
I like KC in an absolute must-win against a really banged up offense.
Playoffs time! TE Question (Full PPR)
B. Strange (Jax) v NYJ
or
H. Henry (NE) v BUF
I'd go Strange. More consistent in my opinion, and better weather.
Baker at home tomorrow night against the Falcons or Dak at home against the Vikings? 4 points per passing TD
Dak easily. Fully expecting Lamb to play.
Playoffs baby!
Do I bench Caleb vs the browns and start Bryce vs the saints and nix vs the packers? I think so but really not convinced.
Do I dare start Evans (falcons) over Rome (Cle) or Ricky pearsall (titans)?
Different league, I think I start Evans over Alec Pierce vs sea and Teslaa (rams). ETA - just added flourney in waivers. Start him against Minnesota if Lamb is out?
Caleb>Nix>>Young for me. Could see Carolina just running 40 times with their 2 RBs. I guess the Bears could too, but Caleb has shown a lot more than Young to me.
I'd go Evans with those alternatives. Who knows how healthy Odunze is? Even if Evans is limited, I like him more than Pearsall, who mostly runs clear outs.
0.5 ppr
TE- Warren vs Sea or Likely vs Cin
Flex- TE loser from above, Monangai vs CLE, CRod vs NYG, Pierce vs Sea, Odunze vs CLE
Ugh that Jones injury killed me
I think you have to go Likely. Best TE matchup, and Indy offense has zero floor. I'd flex Monangai, as I expect a run heavy gameplan with good TD odds.
PPR need 2 RB
Jonathan Taylor @ Sea (Presently in lineup obviously)
Harvey vs GB
Hunt vs LAC
Swift vs Cle
Feels gross to say, but I think I sit Taylor and go with Harvey and Swift. Taylor has been a low-end RB2 over the last month, and this is the toughest matchup yet.
PPR Need 2 WR:
Wandale Robinson vs Wash
Michael Wilson @ Hou
MConkey @ KC
Pitmann @ Sea
Assuming Marv is out (which its looking like) I think Wilson and Robinson are your guys here. Can't trust Chargers pass game right now, and REALLY can't trust Indy's.
PPR need one RB:
Gainwell vs Mia
Tracy vs Wash
Singletary vs Wash
Hunt vs LAC
I'll argue Singletary. He's been the GL back of choice since Skat went down, and they are all in RRBC setups. NYG have the best matchup.
PPR need two WR:
Diggs vs Buff
Deebo
@NYG
Pittman @ Sea
Reed @ Den
Mike Evans vs Atl
I'd go with Deebo and Diggs. Those feel like the highest scoring games, and Evans may be limited this week.
Which Defense:
Dallas vs Minn
SF vs Ten
Den vs GB
NO vs Car
While it didn't work out last week, I'd prefer to keep betting against Cam Ward. SF is also probably the 2nd best defense in that group.
PPR which Flex
Swift vs Cle
Neal vs Car
Swift. Don't trust Neal at all, where Swift has been a solid RB2 all year.
PPR Need 1 WR & 1 Flex
Diggs vs Buf
Pittman @ Sea
Reed @ Den
Pitts @ TB
Tracy Vs Wash
Hunt vs LAC
Singletary vs Wash
Thanks
I'd flex Pitts as the default #1 in the Falcons pass game at the moment, against a pass funnel Bucs D. At WR, even though he's been quiet of late, I'd go Diggs, as he's likely still extra motivated against the Bills.
Receivers only .5 PPR
Flex
Jenty or Addison???
Thanks
I'd go Jeanty. As disappointing as he's been, he just gets the ball WAY more than Addison.
0.5 PPR, who should I flex:
- J Jennings vs. Titans
- McLaurin vs. Giants (Sounds like it's going to snow)
- Neal vs. Panthers (Assuming Kamara doesn't play)
I like McLaurin here. Not too worried about snow, that may actually favor the offenses, as they know where they are running vs reacting.
With Lamb questionable and probably not playing - I need a
Evans tonight vs falcons
Jake Ferguson vs Vikings
Coker vs saints
Shaheed vs Colts
If I start Evans and Lamb plays, Lamb is benched.
PPR, TEP.
Lamb is almost certainly playing, but even if he weren't you have Ferguson as a pivot who is a better option than any of these other guys.
