My little engine of a team finished 8-6 and is going against the leagues juggernaut who lead in H2H and Total points +200 over the second place team.
So far he got 26.7 from his Defense, Kicker and McConkey.
I have them in my order of ranking.
Start 1:
Goff (@ chi)
Darnald (@ Sea)
Penix (NYG)
Leaning Goff but Ive struggled with him and Darnald all year long. Super high on Penix but lets not over think it........unless.....it might just be crazy enough to work!
Start 3:
K Walker III (Min)
J.Cook (NE)
R. Stevenson (@Buff)
Kendre Miller (@GB)
J. Ford (@ Cin)
D. Hopkins
C. Tillman (A Cin)
Leaning Walker, Cook and either Stevenson or Miller. Will Wentz get the ball to Hopkins?
Start 1:
Freiermuth
Strange
I picked up Friereremoooouth a few weeks ago and hes been
but Baltimore. Still leaning Freiermoooth. I only picked up Strange because his TE is dinged.
K. Butlker
Bates (Det), Moody (SF), and Reichard (Min) are all available. I had Bates all year and got cute last week and only got 5 points IIRC. Thinking about getting my ol baby, Bates back.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD DAY!

That's super tough.
I think I'm playing Hill regardless, especially with Waddle doubtful. He's been good 3/4 games. Puka had 7/97 vs SF.
The other 2: If Pollard misses, I think it's about a coin flip. We're kind of guessing what each team will do with the RB touches.
Just logic-ing: New York is eliminated from the playoffs. They have 2 other competent backs. Breece has been dinged up, and I'm not sure he's 100% at this point. Why give him a huge workload in a lost season??
Now you're gonna say: TN is also eliminated from the playoffs. They sure are. But A. Spears isn't the same thing to TN that Breece is to NYJ. And B. Who else is TN going to give the ball to?
Colts give up the 6th most FPPG to RB's. I think if Pollard misses--I'm going go to lean into Spears.

I think Love at QB. I just don't trust Richardson not to go back to being a pumpkin.
RB: Mixon, Hubbard. Mixon the best RB of the bunch, on a good offense. Hubbard: Has the backfield to himself, Cardinals give up the 7th most FPPG to RB
WR: Evans easily, best of the bunch. Brian Thomas next. 2nd best of the bunch, has still been good with Jones at QB. If your team is going to die this weekend, do it with your best players starting.
Flex: I think I want Jakobi. Jags give up the 3rd most FPPG to WR. He should see a ton of volume. You kind of get a nice correlation with Thomas starting. If Thomas or Jakobi goes nuts, then the other team is also having to pass to keep up. Between the Jaguars secondary being awful, and Crosby out for the Raiders--this feels like the classic end of season bad teams that put up a millioin points game.

If you need upside, I'm agree with going McMillan.
You can't rely on TD's, but if you NEED to, I think that's the move--hope he continues this hot TD streak from the past few games.
Ford: I agree, you couldn't trust with Watson at QB. I'm not trusting hi with DTR. Not that Watson was anything. But even less hope for DTR.
Watson: I suspect GB dominates that game from beginning to end. I don't think Love will have to throw it a ton in the 2nd half/4th quarter. Watson could break one early. But so could Reed, wicks, Doubs, Kraft, etc.
McMillan should be the 2nd option. DAllas gives up the 10th most FPPG to WR's. Dallas offense has shown some signs of life. Could be a ball game.
Agree on Tyreek. With Waddle out he should get a larger piece of the pie (although I'm sure it will continue to be annoying to see Jonnu Smith get 10 catches...when are Ds going to catch up to this)?
Was hoping I. Davis and B. Allen would be ruled out with injuries, but now it looks like both are playing. Only thing that I could see taking place...and frustrating all fantasy owners of Jets...is that this team rolls now on offense...after they've eliminated most in the fantasy playoffs lol.
As for Spears, yeah...I have no idea who the #3 RB is on this team. Would think he's a safe bet for 15 touches and probably 5+ receptions.
All that said, if Pollard is active, decision made for me.
Thanks!

With Walker back, who knows how they'll use Charbonnet.
Just as importantly, Vikings give up the 30TH!!! most FPPG to RB's.
Raiders give up the 13th most. Feel better about Bigsby's touches. Bigsby for me. Fantasypros and FBG have Charbs ranked higher. Do with that what you will.

Footballguy
I'm a little concerned about how SF uses the RB's in this game. Will they for sure give Taylor a full workload? I'm not sure.
Pacheco: Hunt took a lot of touches last week. Houston very tough against RB's fantasy wise.
So I'm down to Smith and Jakobi.
AOC is back. Jax gives up the 3rd most FPPG to WR.
WAshington gives up the 18th most. The last game vs the Eagles: Hurts had zero passing TD's. Saquon smashed on the ground.
Jakobi has Bowers.
Smith has AJ Brown, Saquon.
It's very very very close, but for the above reasons, give me Jakobi.

League 1: 0.5 PPR:
RB: ETN or Patrick Taylor?
Flex: Jameson Williams, Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Brenton Stange or the other RB from above (hilariously starting Bowers at TE, it's dynasty and no one will trade for a TE).
Currently have Taylor and Jameson in.
---------------------------------
League 2: Full PPR
Need 2 Flex starters from
Pacheco
Addison
Tracy
Spears
K Miller
Currently have Addison and Spears in.

Strange. LV gives up the 5th most FPPG to TE's

Taylor, you know what you're getting with ETN. probably would go with Jamo too.
Addison is a must start. After that I roll Pacheco. Mahomes is going to pivot to more dumpoffs this week.

I just don't think Spears has shown enough with his opportunities to put him in over guys like Tyreek & Hall. I mean he only has 54 carries on the year but he's averaging only 3.5 ypc with a long of 19 yards. The one time he carried significant workload he went 17-39-1. I think the fact that Pollard so clearly dominates the touches, over 3-1, tells me what the Titans think about Spears.
If he gets volume maybe you get a TD but that feels like the same thing you can say about Tyreek & Hall and, given the choice I'll take the guys who I still believe are more likely to break one off on any play.

My pure gut call of your QB choices is Caleb. It's a big risk but I think he has a legit opportunity this week. A safer option is Rodgers IMO who should be good for 250-2 at least and has a lot of upside in this matchup. Love can put up a monster and 200-2 seems a reasonable floor but I don't like the matchup for a lot of reasons.
At RB it's tough to bench Mixon but I think both Hubbard and Ford, in that order, would be interesting options if you go that route. And, make no mistake Mixon's matchup is rough he's a volume play with good TD upside.
WRs seems pretty clear to me. Thomas and Evans and I wouldn't think twice.
For your flex I think Meyers is interesting in full PPR formats but Addison seems like the best ceiling/floor combo IMO. Ford is also in the conversation (assuming you went with Hubbard & Mixon) and Cinci is a defense you want to go against but I do worry about what DTR does for that offense so I probably stick with Addison.
Chaka
Footballguy
Zero opinion. I have never played IDP. I like Thibodeaux as the best talent of your options, that's all I can say.IDP big play scoring. Sacks are super valuable. Tackles help.
Pick 1
Dante Fowler Vs. PHI
Dorence Armstrong Vs. PHI
Kayvon Thibodeaux At ATL
Gross-Matos At MIA
Chaka
Footballguy
I think he has a great opportunity. But, it always depends on your other options.
Zow
Footballguy
Jones and Mixon no-brainers.
If Pollard is out Spears is a must. If Pollard in, I'd probably roll Pollard.
Assuming you're not a major underdog I'm sitting Shakir and rolling RBs.
Chaka
Footballguy
Tough calls. Personally I think McMillan is pretty high variance so I would lean towards the RB. Both have good matchups but I lean Ford because it's a better one and he doesn't have the same potential TD vulture that Tracy does in Singletary. I also think the ATL defense is going to play with a little more energy with Penix at QB.
Zow
Footballguy
Crazy that Brenton freaking Strange is a clear better option than Kincaid.
Sorry to interrupt this thread, but just need to lament how badly on missed on Kincaid this season.
Chaka
Footballguy
Personally I don't see the upside in Dell. I'm a little surprised Warren only saw six opportunities last week with Pickens out. He did have 14 the week before and I might bank on that as the best combo of opportunity/upside.
Personally I like Reynolds being on the highest scoring offense in the league. But, realistically you are counting on a TD if you play him. I think he will get the opportunity but it's difficult to trust it in the first game without Montgomery.
Probably Warren, IMO.
Chaka
Footballguy
I think I go with the two RBs in Dowdle (without question) and Ford (some question but he should see volume against a weak opponent). After that it's kinda a pick your poison. But I do believe McMillian represents a good combo of opportunity/upside.
Chaka

Mixon and Jones and I don't really think twice about it.
If Pollard plays I play him. He's out touching Spears over 3-1 on the season. If he doesn't I probably pivot to Rhamondre because he's a three down back and could still see work in the passing game if things get out of hand.
I may be underselling Spears with Pollard out. The Bengals are a must start against defense, Spears doesn't impress but, if Pollard is out there is a nice opportunity there. It's a coin toss between him and Rhamondre really.
I like Shakir over Rhamondre. He's seeing great volume. He hasn't seen fewer than seven targets in any game since 10/14. He's averaging 8.4 targets and 6.4 receptions for 65 yards per game. The TDs are disappointingly not there but that is a highly variable stat. He would be my fourth after you choose the three RBs.
Chaka
Footballguy
I think I would chase Strange's volume from last week. It's also a better matchup IMO.
Chaka
Footballguy
I'm taking Wilson because I just like him more as a player. He's still heavily involved even if he is a 1b to Davante and I think he has more TD upside.
Mind you Thielen is a fine option and I might go with him if it were full PPR but at 0.5 ppr I lean Wilson pretty strongly.
Thanks Chaka and because im the underdog after losing Kamara and Monty in same week. going with James Cook and Ford
Nice Work Pal

Alright Penn States on at noon and I have Xmas crap planned out the wazooo.
I’m in the semis in 2 leagues…both 12 team .5 ppr, I’ve settled on:
Flex:
Jennings over ETN, Jonnu, Jeudy, Mooney, DHop, Najee
Miller and Tracy as my starting RBs over Najee and ETN
Other league: Going Stafford over Caleb
Flex:
Starting Miller over Shakir, Patrick Taylor, Ridley.
If anyone is in the mood and has any last minute advice I’m all ears. Thank you and Merry Xmas. Go Birds!

I think I would have to stick with Goff. With the defense in tatters and the fact the Lions never take their foot off the gas he seems to be the best floor/ceiling combo.My little engine of a team finished 8-6 and is going against the leagues juggernaut who lead in H2H and Total points +200 over the second place team.
So far he got 26.7 from his Defense, Kicker and McConkey.

Walker and Cook IMO. They are the best talents with the highest TD upside IMO. After that I grudgingly go with Ford because of expected volume and having a great matchup.
Freiermuth has been a bit of a disappointment with Pickens out but he does have decent TD potential. I lean toward chasing Strange's upside and matchup particularly if this is a full PPR format.
Kickers are random number generators. Pick one from the best offense that you think has the highest chance of winning their game. For me that's Bates.
Chaka
Footballguy
Good choices. Addison for sure but I only go with Spears if Pollard is out. If Pollard plays I probably pivot to Pacheco and hope the Chiefs try to pound the ball with Mahomes ankle issue.
Chaka
Footballguy
I guess I would chase Strange's volume. It's also a solid matchup.
Really it's a gut call.
Chaka
Footballguy
I don't think I would take issue with any of your decisions. I could make a bit of an argument for Ridley or Shakir over Miller but with Kamara out I can understand going with the volume.Alright Penn States on at noon and I have Xmas crap planned out the wazooo.

I personally think Caleb has a great opportunity this week but that's purely a hunch and Stafford is the better floor/ceiling combo.
Otherwise I think I would make the same decisions.

Footballguy
I understand Njoku and, IMO he is physically the best option. I just don't know what to think of DTR who has been well below average thus far. Since it's not PPR I think Freiermuth probably has the best TD upside and Strange should see the most volume. Njoku falls somewhere in the middle but I do believe he has the most upside of the bunch. Particularly if he becomes DTR's safety net. And the matchup is just so good. Cinci is 31st in scoring defense.
Njoku for me.

PPR, TE Premium
Pick 1 (QB2 superflex)
Pick 2
Would have thrown Juwan Johnson into this later mix but he plays Monday and hasn’t practiced. Also might have to start all 3 if Ertz can’t go, but asking assuming Ertz will go and only have 2 noted slots.
Pick 1 (QB2 superflex)
- Cooper Rush vs TB - Scoring more than Geno in recent weeks, can he be trusted?
- Geno Smith vs MIN - Set and forget QB2 but his knee + Minnesota leaves doubt
Pick 2
- Tim Patrick (DET WR) @ CHI - solid 5 weeks since joining Detroit
- Devin Singletary (NYG RB) @ ATL - looks to start again if Tracy can’t go
- Antonio Gibson (NE RB) @ BUF - scoring well the past 3 games but still limited touches

I agree. Issue is Pacheco plays today, and I'm guessing we won't know for sure on Pollard until tomorrow.
Thoughts on leaving Spears in and pivoting to Miller/Tracy if I get burnt? Hunt took a bunch of touches last week. And Houston ranks 29th in FPPG to RB.
Miller playing with whichever Saints backup QB doesn't fire me up.
Tracy with Lock isn't the worst, but Sinletary still takes touches.
Gotta start 1 of these RBs from PIT @ BAL
PPR, and 1 pt per 10 return yards
Najee
Warren
Justice Hill
Or I could pick up the PIT RB who scored the most points last, Patterson
I am leaning Warren, but after last week's horrible showing, I'm also afraid the Pittsburgh offense is just too dysfunctional without Pickens

Didn't realize that. Then I probably stick with Pacheco unless you have a strong belief Pollard is out. He hasn't been efficient but 18 & 14 opportunities the last two weeks bodes well.
Chaka
Footballguy
I'd risk it with Rush because of the matchup and because Geno does not throw a lot of TDs.
Good luck with choice two but I guess I lean to Patrick because he is on the #1 scoring offense in the league. Your other options are on very bad offenses.
Chaka
Footballguy
I can't imagine playing Hill. I think you have to go with Najee because of volume but I guess I could see pivoting to Warren and hope he sees a bunch of screens. Problem is that hasn't been a big part of their game plan as yet.
Geno injury concerns would have me go with Rush
And I don't think you can count on Gibson against Buffalo, so I'd bench him
