I just don't see how anyone can trust Purdy right now. He's scored less than 4 fantasy points in two out of the last three games and Miami's pass defense is pretty good. Actually I'm starting Rush over him, who plays a leaky Bucs pass defense. He is starting to fiind some footing. But I would rank Rodgers over both of them this week.
Tough one. I might lean Baker. Points against for the year is Philly 241, Dallas 374. And Philly’s healthy whereas Dallas has some injuries. Dome, Baker back in Texas, they need the game, might lean him.
Are you an underdog or favorite? Upside, I lean Williams—he could have lots of stats against that injured D. I think the other three are pretty comparable but based on matchups might have lower ceilings and gun to head, I’d actually start Rodgers over the other two.
Jeez…I think I’d play Williams unless you’re a serious underdog, then I’d roll Abdullah and hope he cashes in a receiving TD.
I'm so Williams adverse I'm leaning Abdullah if Charbs doesn't play. Not to wish Hall out because I have him in another league, but if that happens I would play Isaiah Davis in both. But that isn't going to happen.
Well, even though I said I don't see how anyone can trust Purdy, I also don't see how anyone can realisticaslly start Rush either. So I will just hold my nose and start Purdy. Might as well go down with the guy I played most of the year for a not so strong QB team I have.
Rewind to August and somebody tells you you're starting Ameer Abdullah in the fantasy semifinals
Depending on RB receiving stats is tough. Baltimore has a great run stopping team, so it's a little more than risky to play Warren. I'm probably out on him.Rewind to August and somebody tells you you're starting Ameer Abdullah in the fantasy semifinals
But I'd probably start him over Javonte too. Would lean Warren of the three though, especially if Pickens sits. Might be more passing downs than normal if they're chasing points.
I hate benching Daniels and I generally lean in favor of a QB/WR stack. But, that matchup is brutal. The Eagles are giving up 13 points/game over their last 10 (since the bye). They have only given up 20+ points twice. Daniels and Mayfield have been neck and neck on the whole season, although over their last five games Daniels is outperforming baker by about 3 ppg. So, it's very close here. Personally I might go with Baker but, that isn't based on much and Daniels could easily be the much better option.
I'd go with Rodgers pretty comfortably here. He's playing well, it's a good matchup and I think he's motivated to make his Jets narrative about team disfunction that had nothing to do with him.
Personally I think it's close enough to flip a coin. And I imagine I would change my mind multiple times before Sunday.
I have a hunch about Caleb this week but I don't think I can recommend him to anyone based on that. Still, if I were the gambling sort he would be my play.
Well, I think you need to wait on the status of the Seattle RBs and I would pick Walker if both play and Charbs if Walker is out.
I agree about Abdullah. He's the safest option and he still has a bit of burst. Not much but... some.
I like the Penix & Mattison calls. After that I may risk it with Tim Patrick and hope for a TD. It's the #1 scoring offense in the league and their defense is decimated.
Nix has 10 TD passes over his last four games (12 over the last five). He isn't running as much but he's still productive.
I just realized that the Ravens give up a top 5 in receiving for RBs. With a strong pass rush from the Ravens, I can see a lot of dump offs to Warren. He may be a safe 9 to 10 point floor.
Stevenson is probably your safest play, but the ceiling is limited. Miller is intriguing if Kamara is out, but if that's not clear it's tough to go with him when you have other options. I think McMillan is a decent option this week though you run the risk of his volume disappearing if they get an early lead.
Thanks - much appreciated.
I feel like Darnold has shown himself to be a level above Tua (or more accurately Minnesota is a level above Miami)
I'd go a little bold and roll with Kmet. PPR is pushing toward that direction, as Gus doesn't catch in addition to being TD or bust.
Jets/Rams feels like a sneaky shootout to me. I like Stafford just a hair more than Rodgers.
Darnold is a level above these guys I think.
Really tempted to say Nabers given the PPR aspect, but I think Taylor probably has a higher ceiling.
I'd go Nix and Stafford. Nix's sometime rushing pushes him slightly ahead of a somewhat banged up Herbert.
Jennings would be my pick with DTR starting in Cleveland.
Agree with what you have in. Hubbard v Higgins is a coin flip, but since its not full PPR, I'll lean toward the guy with higher TD odds, and that's Hubbard.
Smith is the easy call for me, the other one is closer, but I think I lean Jeudy. JaMo feels like he's falling behind LaPorta again.
I think you sit Taylor here. Even with a better matchup, he's not on the level of these other two.
I'd say Adams regardless of Kamara's status.Assuming Kamara is out.... and if he's questionable going into the weekend I'll need to make a decision beforehand, obviously...
Adams vs. LAR
Wilson vs. LAR
Flowers vs. PIT
Hockenson at SEA
I don't see how I bench Adams with as hot as he's been. A-Rodg has been feeding him and I can see the Jets trying to keep up with the Rams via the air.
Honestly, even if Kamara was somewhat healthy I think I'd have to consider Adams instead of AK41 on MNF at Lambeau
I'd sit London. Just wanna see who Penix favors first, and I think Hill could have a nice game.
I'll say Smith would be my WR pick. Hopefully Philly sticks with feeding their 55 million dollar WRs.
Brown is a lock. Kamara feels unlikely to play (if you are NO, why?) so Miller would be my other pick.
I think Purdy bounces back this week, not playing in horrible weather.Purdy @MIA
Arod v LAR
Stafford @NYJ
4pt passing. Yardage boosters.
Own Purdy, hoping to get Arod and/or Stafford off waivers
Initially thought I was gonna roll with Jameis @CIN .. but Stefanski is no fun
I'd roll with Henry, in a game that is possibly 50% garbage time.
I think Richardson would be my call as well.
Been following your ranking posts all season. So this opinion comes with great value and for that I thank you.I feel like Darnold has shown himself to be a level above Tua (or more accurately Minnesota is a level above Miami)

I'd pick up Miller and start him and Tracy. Kamara looks likely to sit.

I'd sit London. Just wanna see who Penix favors first, and I think Hill could have a nice game.
I'd go Ferguson at TE, just off the idea of being highest in the pecking order in the highest scoring game.
I'd go with the Colts defense. Titans have been the best fantasy matchup for defenses all year, and I don't think its just a Levis thing.
I'll say Smith would be my WR pick. Hopefully Philly sticks with feeding their 55 million dollar WRs.
I'll also say Smith at TE. Andrews has been getting in the end zone, but in PPR Jonnu is still heavily outpacing him.
Brown is a lock. Kamara feels unlikely to play (if you are NO, why?) so Miller would be my other pick.
Puka and ARSB are locks, I guess I lean Sutton at flex. He and Ladd are close, so I'll take the healthier one.

I think Richardson would be my call as well.
I'd sit Young.
Need QB help I am not starting Mahomes, would you start Nix or Richardson? 6pts for pass TD and rush TD
I think Ford is a better call regardless of Mahomes status. Pacheco has underwhelmed upon his return.
I get it has downside, but I think I'd go Caleb against essentially the Lions backup defense.
I'd sit Penix. I think they are right to be starting him, but there is guarantee he'll be better than Cousins, and they are likely to be run heavy regardless.
I think Freiermuth is your guy as long as Pickens is out.
I'd start Love over Herbert, but that doesn't make me wanna start Reed or sit McConkey.
Very close call, but I lean McConkey. Just more consistent of late.
Have that same QB dilemma in 1 league this week, and I'm going Mayfield.
I think with no Monty and a broken-down defense, Goff will be throwing 40 times. That puts him above Tua.
I'd flex Ford I think. Best matchup, and more proven than Miller.
Other than Mac Jones, I think I like all those guys more than Geno.
I think I'd go Miller. Shakir probably needs an early TD or he could get game scripted out. Patriots aren't gonna keep up like the Rams/Lions did.
As long as Kamara is out (looking likely) I think Miller is your guy. I'd have Thielen>Ridley otherwise.
QB is a tossup, but I lean Nix. He's just kinda been better all year., and Rams are always a threat to be run 1st whenever they hit the redzone.
I would have been with you on Guerendo, but he looks unlikely to play now, so I think Ford is my flex choice (unless Walker is out again) and Addison is my WR2 choice.Obviously big game - non ppr standard. Its the whack a mole WR2 again w a twist in the flex spot. I currently have Guerndo @ Miami at flex so if you pls see anyone in the list below that is a better play at flex let me know:
Need a WR2 plus if a better play over Guerendo:
DJ Moore vs Lions - has scored a TD vs Lions in 3 straight
Keenan Allen vs Lions - has a total of 248 yards 16 rec and 4 TDs last 2 games vs Detroit (last yr w Chargers and this year w Bears)
Shakir vs NE
Addison @ Seattle
I do have Charbs and Ford as options at flex but like Guerendo more
TU for a fun yr hopefully another question nxt week
I think Bucky is a must-start. If Walker is out again, I think the guy I'd bench for Charbonnet would be Wilson.
Feels weird to recommend Cooper Rush in a playoff game, but here we are.
Nix for sure at QB. Russ is hard to start without Pickens in my opinion.
I think Goff will be forced to have 40-ish passes, so that makes him the better option to me, especially given 6pt pass TDs.
Brown and Conner are locks. 3rd spot is tougher, but I lean toward Taylor's touches over Bucky's efficiency.
I think I'd sit Kupp here. Seahawks have had worlds of trouble against good TEs, and whiel the matchup sucks, I couldn't bring myself to sit McLaurin.
Evans, Nabers, Higgins, Jones and flip a coin. Probably Addison for me, even if Walker doesn't play the Vikings have a top defense against RBs.
I probably go with Jameson too but I think Jennings is in for more volume. I just think the Niners are struggling too much to trust.
Oh, McConkey is starting. I should have been more clear.
I'm okay with that logic but Buffalo has been giving up a lot to opposing RBs over the last month. I think Stevenson is a better player than Miller, the matchup for both is very similar and Stevenson has a bit more help from the QB position.
I'm not going to rely on McMillan personally.
I don't love these options but Mattison is probably the "right" call. If you want more ceiling, however I think the Bears have an opportunity against the Lions defense.
I think they are similar options. Nix is running less but passing pretty well lately, Richardson is the opposite. Considering your pass TDs are 6 points I probably lean towards Nix.
Taylor doesn't really move the needle for me.
Darnold would be my call at QB.
I'd shoot for Richardson's ceiling.
Pretty much agree with you. Feel better about Ford than Tracy
I think Meyers is the play, as it sounds like Ridder won't be starting.
Thomas, Hill, and Sutton are my picks. Guerendo seems unlikely to play, and I wanna see who Penix favors if I can.
I would not sit Love for Penix.
I'd sit London for sure. The other spot is tougher, but I can't bring myself to sit Henry, so I'd sit Thomas.
I think I'd take the shot on Mooney here, and hope Penix can hit some deep shots.
If Pollard is out Spears is your guy, haven't heard anything to suggest he's not just being rested as he has been in previous weeks though. Kamara seems likely to be out, so Miller is your most likely play. Pacheco is probably your worst case scenario.0.5ppr, bonus for long TDs (1-9yd = 6, 10-39yd = 9, 40+yd = 12)
Need ONE to replace Monty
Four scenarios:
- Pacheco
- Spears
- Kendre
- Pollard and Kamara are both OUT
- Kamara only OUT
- Pollard only OUT
- Both play
I'd diversify and go with Baker. I've got the same dilemma in a non-sack penalty league, and am going Mayfield, and I imagine that scoring system doesn't help Daniels.
Might be a minority opinion, but I like Purdy by a lot over the other 2. Shouldn't be playing in a rainstorm this week.
I think JSN is a must start if Geno is playing, probably even if he is out. He's taken the #1 job.
True but NiX is probably safer floor.
underdog if Kamara doesnt play. even if he does
I think you have the right 3 guys in. They all have some semblance of floors.
I'd go Daniels here. Important to note Daniels was still nursing that rib injury in the 1st Eagles meeting.
I think Pickens, Addison and Charbonnet (regardless of Walker's status) are your sits.
I'd go with Jennings. I'm pretty willing to throw out last week's game as a weather game.
I'd go Stevenson, probably even if Kamara is out. Saints offense could struggle to hit 10 points this week.
Kupp and Wilson would be my picks. That game has shootout potential, even if both guys have become the clear #2 WRs.
I'd take the shot on Kincaid. Best offense and should have some PA chances.
With the 6pt for pass TDs, that edges Nix ahead of Richardson for me.
NIX had 24 vs LAC several weeks ago I think in that game he did quite a bit with his legs . I think even though LAC def works against most NIX seemed to have an answer to them last time. also safer floor correct?
