Hey everyone just want to excuse myself because I simply have too many things going on with family from out of town that I'm not going to be able to manage the thread like I normally do
I hope to find some more time before Saturday's games.
Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas etc etc.

Atlanta, Baltimore or Pitt D. Jets and Jags are on FA list. Points for and against for both yards and points. All other stats (TD, FR, INT, Sack, KR or PR TD) included.

No to Balt ot PItt IMO
Atl hasn’t been terrible against bad teams. I don’t hate them. Sort of a tossup with Jets D who also has done ok against bad offenses
PPR.
Need to start one of Foreman, AJB, Ekeler, or Carter... but Thursday night and COVID make it tricky.
- AJB: plays tonight, but just coming off IR today. Looks like Julio is trending towards being out but AJB has only done walkthroughs and hasn't participated in a full practice since being injured. Playing SFO who is flying across country and on a short week. ***Julio is now playing with no nijury designation and the Titans are missing 3 on the OL***
- Foreman: plays tonight and looked pretty good last week, had the most carries, but his ceiling seems limited and Hilliard/McNichols both got significant timeshare last week. He would be third in line for targets out of these RB's most likely.
- Ekeler: on the COVID list and unlikely, though still possible to clear by the game this weekend. Easily the best start of all of these guys playing HOU this week.
- Carter: dumpster fire team and did not do well in his first game back last week, though he was looking pretty good prior to the injury. Jets are playing the Jags so the Jets could actually be in this one and the running game be more viable.
Carter is my only backup option if I roll the dice and don't start AJB or Foreman tonight.
What would you do?

Alexander Mattison is Top 3 this week if he is starting and I will gently remind folks the Rams are on 3-4 days rest MAX?! They played Tuesday, this is going to feel like a Thursday Night Football game and the Rams are on the road in Minnesota, they're likely going to get run out of the building, did you not watch the Arizona-Detroit game last week?
Top 10 all day, Must start

OK, I now have an uphill battle down 42.10-0 after going against Deebo and Aiyuk tonight. To make matters worse I just lost Godwin, Hill, and likely Fields in SF.
Do I try and stack and shoot for upside or stay the course and just simply enter what I think is my best lineup, 1pt PPR league.
QB- need 2 SF
Rodgers & Tua
Wentz- starting Pittman anyway, pair Wentz with him instead of Tua
Fields- starting Mooney anyway, pair Fields with him instead of Tua
RB need 2 or 3
A. Jones & Montgomery
Darrel Williams- "IF" both Hill and Kelce are out I think D. Will will be getting plenty of work leaning on the run game, will be asked to pick up slack in the receiving game, and also seems to be the goal line back
Dillon- already have the 2 Packer Aarons starting, enter a 3 man GB stack and hope Adams does not get multiple TD's
WR need 3 or 4
Diontae Johnson, Pittman, Mooney or Gabe Davis
Gabe Davis- is he a must start if Sanders is out, Beasley already out and the hoodie will be expected to plan on taking Diggs out
Comes down to:
QB- Tua, Wentz, or Fields
Flex- Gabe Davis, Darrel Williams, or Dillon

Apologies for not getting to this yesterday. If you didn't start Wilson I think you need to wait on Goff's status updates.JoeJoe88 said:
If you don't have clarity before the Cards play tomorrow then you probably have to play Kirk IMO. If Goff plays how can you bench a guy getting a dozen targets/game over his last three?
Chaka
Footballguy
Defenses are so difficult, particularly with Covid running wild.
The Broncos feel like your best D but the Raiders can do just enough to limit their upside.
I agree with Yoman and think you need to wait on Goff news, if he's out the Falcons are probably the choice. But really it is a gut call, defenses are random number generators.
Chaka
Footballguy
Of your remaining options I think Penny and Gallup are the choices. I could see Buffalo trying to feed Singletary, they did say that they have committed to him as a lead back. It's a terrible matchup but a lot of us have been holding a Buff RB (Singletary, Moss & Breida) hoping for exactly that type of commitment. Too bad it happened in week 16 so you would have to ride in blind but if you need a bold play I like Singletary over Gallup. DPJ has really come on and this could be a game where the Browns need his explosiveness, but with Baker & Landry back I am not sure how to slot him.
Penny>Gallup>Singletary*>DPJ

Man that's tough. If there are any kind of yardage bonuses I think you risk it on RoJo. He may be on a short leash, then again maybe not, but there are yards aplenty to be had as the lead back in that offense.
RoJo>Conner
Chaka
Footballguy
Too late now, it was a risk to not start Foreman but I do like your logic and the upside of Jackson.
Chaka
Footballguy
Obviously AJ would have been a great call. Of the remaining I like AB because Brady loves that guy and he may be the passing game this week.
AB>Lamb>Higgins

I don't think you can sit a back that is leading the league in opportunities but, if Jackson gets the call, I would consider him over Najee. Mattison not so much because the Rams are playing tough right now and that defense seems to be coming together finally.
Chaka
Footballguy
AB seems like clear choices to me. I think Brady loves that guy and being the passing option is TB ATM he should eat. If Swift plays I think you have to flex him, Campbell beats the heck out of his lead backs and doesn't seem to timeshare.
WR2 is tough, particularly if Goff plays. Marquise seems like the best option IMO. I think he has the talent and gets the opps. Cooks has been balling and Davis loves him but I just always worry about that offense pooping the bed. It is hard to argue against Amon Ra ATM and the Detroit offense has played far better than people realize IMO. Still Marquise seems like the best blend of upside, opportunity & stable floor.
AB>MB>Cooks/St.B
Chaka
Footballguy
Well depending on what you did last night your choices are probably clear. Of the remaining options
Hill>Lockett>Amon Ra>Duke
Chaka
Footballguy
Aaron Jones has the best shot of finding the end zone IMO, after that I think it's really close and I could see any of those guys leading the way. ATM I think RoJo has the best mix of opportunity & upside, Mattison is probably locked into a good amount of touches but that Rams defense is playing very well for the past couple games. With all their talent I worry about Mattison's upside even if he is in line to get a lot of touches. Javonte may be the most talented and the Raiders are a bad rush D.
Aaron Jones>>RoJo>Javonte>Mattison but it's close enough with the last three that I could flip flop them all day.
ETA: @sho nuff After reading @Ministry of Pain 's take I think
Aaron Jones>>Mattison>RoJo>Javonte

Assuming Ekeler is out.
I think it all depends on your risk tolerance. If you're all in
Jackson>RoJo>CEH
If you need a little more stability
RoJo>CEH>Jackson

Depends on Goff (and Swift). If Goff is out I can see Atlanta. If Goff plays Pitt is the most likely to generate a big play.
But defenses are random number generators so I can't really parse them much more than that.
Chaka
Footballguy
Well, if you didn't play Foreman or AJB then Ekeler is the choice until he is officially ruled out.
Chaka
Footballguy
KC has been balling and the Pittsburgh offensive line is still very bad. Assuming Chris Jones is back I think they are the hungriest Defense and playing the best ATM.

I expect more from Tua considering I think he has good receivers, but I feel the same about Wentz. They have been a coin toss all season IMO. Fields's rushing ability and a matchup against a bad Seahawks defense is tempting but if you are already rolling out Mooney & Montgomery do you really want to go that all in on the Bears offense flying to the west coast on a short week (yes the Seahawks week is shorter)?
Tua>Wentz>Fields
I start Jones & Montgomery it may generate a bad outcome but it's the right decision, everything else is overthinking.
I stick with your WR choices. I can't start Davis this week even with Beasley & Sanders possibly out.
Chaka
Footballguy
I feel your pain here but, in my lineup, I am not benching Allen for Huntley. I don't have Dak but I am probably not benching him either.
I want to be open to be talked into it but I can't do it. Allen got me this far, not turning back now.
Chaka
Footballguy
Sanders & Metcalf IMO. Conner may have a reduced workload with injury and Edmonds and that makes them both much harder to predict production.
BillyJoeBob

Haha I think I answered your same question the same way when you started the thread.
The Beasley and Davis to covid list news made me second guess.

Yes...definitely a fun little game right now in my head of what in the world to do. I agree with that final assessment at the moment. I struggle with Mattison and whether he really will get all that work and the Rams D is playing tough. But when Mattison has had to come in...he does so and does so well. I think 20+ carries anytime Cook has missed time...granted, 2 of those games were against Detroit.
Rams D...the past few weeks there has still been success there in the run game. Dillon had a nice game...though, mainly because of the receptions and TD reception. Conner had a big day with receptions and TDs. and the mix of Penny and Dallas had some success if you sort of add up their carries (as Mattison would likely get that bulk as he has in the past).
I guess Im hoping for a pretty high scoring game there (have Jefferson, Kupp, and Mattison)

Cordarelle Patterson or Justin Jackson (if Ekeler is out)
Josh Allen or Tyler Huntley (madness!)

D question.
* TB D @CAR -- Good matchup. Think we may see a combo of Cam and Darnold...which can't be good for that offense. DJ Moore also looks banged up. TB offense may be a bit clunkier than usual so maybe this game stays closer than expected vs. frantic comeback effort.
or
* PHI D vs NYG -- Another good matchup. Not sure if Fromme in at QB or Glennon. Either way, good for PHI D. That said, PHI didn't do much in a smash spot against WASH and don't think they did much in last matchup against NYG either. NYG do have weapons.
Note: I'm projected to lose so looking for ceiling.
Which?
I'm definitely leaning in one direction...
Thanks

10 Team PPR
Due to injuries, I'm looking at having to start three of the following to pair with Chubb and Lamb:
- Jackson vs Hou
- Jones vs Car
- Mattison vs LA
- Claypool vs KC
- Boyd vs Bal
- Gallup vs Was
I'd appreciate some thoughts on how these guys rank. I'm thinking I have to shoot for the high risk/high reward with Claypool, but the RB's are really up in the air. I'd probably lean on Mattison first at this point.
Your thoughts?

Yeah, just saw that. It complicates everything but Allen's game is about more than passing. And, right wrong or otherwise, I just can't bench one of the guys who got me this far.

I've got zero WR depth (Adams/Higgins) then a couple of WR4 types.
I have a lot of RBs and will have to start 4. PPR.
Chubb, CEH, A. Gibson, Ronald Jones, R. Stevenson, J. Jackson (SD,) S Perine
Assuming Ekeler and Mixon both play, the first 4 I listed are pretty easy picks. If either miss, do Jackson or Perine eclipse any of those 4?

I think Mattison is a must, Jones too. I have Claypool as well and I just feel like he is too risky - he could see 3 targets or 10. I think you go Jackson if Ekeler is out. If not, Gallup is probably the safest bet with Claypool having the most upside.

If Hill is out I would probably go with Hardman. Lazard is a fun thing to think about as a blocker but Rodgers spreads the ball around a lot when he isn't throwing it to Adams.
