Rodgers- they still are playing for something and the Vikings pass D is horrible. Plus the Vikings will put up points so Rodgers has to keep up.
I like Pickens in that mess...but just over Kmet
It's interesting this time of year
Hard to imagine siting andrews but Knox is somewhat hot, good weather, probably a lot of offense....i'd be tempted too

Need one WR
Whoops missed that...i like Kirk > Lazard

Running Backs -PPR
Ekeler-Start at RB1
Kamara
Aaron Jones
Tyler Algeier
D.Foreman
Need a solid RB2 this week
The remaining bunch would be competing against JuJu in the Flex spot
overall roster
QB-Minshew because Tua is OUT
RB1-Ekeler
RB2-?
WR1-CD Lamb, strong effort the other night
WR2-Higgins, Monday Night Ace up the sleeve
TE-Evan Engram
Flex-?
I lean Kamara but he has been a disaster many weeks and don't trust him or the Saints.
Jones has the tweaked ankle but the packers are desperate today
Like Allgeier quite a bit for Atlanta today mostly because he is a rookie and the Falcons have little to play for otherwise than see what they drafted this year.
Not thinking Foreman vs the Bucs with these other choices but I'm keeping an open mind
Thanks Chaka for any input you have and anyone else who would like to chime in

Tought call but I, like you, lean Kamara for all the reasons you identify there. It's tight but I like what you are saying
Jones if he was not injured would be the number 1 so he is a little more boom bust...

I'm mobile and too lazy to edit down to just mine, but it's the Chark vs Juju. This is not PPR, and Chark has outscored Juju 4 out of the past 5 weeks, Juju is playing Denver which has the least WR points against and Detroit is playing a must win against Chicago which had a mediocre pass d to start and injuries have forced them into using a bunch of inexperienced CBs. If it was PPR, I think it'd be a closer contest, but without, I feel like Chark is the clear choice. I guess we'll know for sure in a couple hours.QB: Goff against the Bears indoors is as good a matchup as it gets for Goff.
TE: I'd go Kmet in the highest point totaled game this week.
RB: Kamara and Robinson would be my calls, maybe a pivot to Walker if we get bad news on Kamara.
Flex: Wilson, love the matchup with White back.
I wouldn't call you crazy, but I go Juju pretty confidently. I don't really see KC taking it easy or pulling starters.
Kirk is a lock in my eyes, the other one is a tough call, but I say dance with who brung ya, and that's Cooper. Arizona is also the rare team of late, that might not force Atlanta into a pass heavy gamescript.
I'd go Chark over Samuel. Samuel gets a bonus from Wentz being back, but its not a huge one.
I'd sit Dotson. He's just the least involved of that group.
Walker and Dobbins are easy calls in my opinion.Ppr. Start 2 RBs
Walker vs NYJ
Dobbins vs PIT
Moss at NYG
Cook at CIN
Walker seems locked in, Dobbins is due for a 2 TD game. So talented..
Pick 1
Njoku at WAS
Waller vs SF (Stidham)
And kicker Myers v NYJ or Succop v CAR. Both home in a dome and probably favored.
Edit, both home but as pointed out, lumen field has an open roof and as I’ve read, 1.5 point dogs from what I saw on ESPN. And Raymond James is also not a dome . Learning things…
I'd lean Njoku with Carr out.
I'd go Myers at K. Just attached to a better offense, but one that may have to settle for FGs against a good defense.
Minshew and Singletary would be my picks.
I'd go Zay Jones. Not really worried about the Jags resting guys at all.
I know it sounds wrong, but I really trust Moss to see 15-20 carries, and have a 50-50 TD shot.
I'd roll with Mike White. He's had the best track record this year, and Jets are playing for their playoff lives.
With Gibson out, I'd start Robinson over Sanders. Still think Adams is a target hog with Stidham.

If you can avoid playing and Colts, I would after last week. Davis is going to be involved, but Buffalo does tend to spread it around pretty well. Upside of making the switch is you get that psychological benefit of having someone going on Monday night.

Since Disley is out, I think Fant looks pretty interesting this weekend.

If it helps i'm sitting Juju today as well
I don't like his potential...chark indoors at home...

Goff or Minshew - lean Goff but Minshew showed something last week
Also, need to pick 2 from following, non-ppr
K.Walker vs Jets
A.Dillon vs Vikes
C.Watson vs Vikes
B.Robinson vs Browns
Thank you!

I don't see it as a psychological benefit to have someone going on Monday night, but I do believe the game will be a shootout and Davis has a higher probability of scoring a TD than Pittman does. WR1 vs WR2 be damned. If the Colts were to go back to Ryan it would make it a tougher decision. Pittman hasn't been doing squat after the catch and there is a strong possibility he doesn't reach the end zone. Pittman will have a bout 5 or 6 catches for 50 or 60 yards.
I like Goff there for sure...at home and indoors
Walker and Dillon (i like him for a td over the others)

Man... I'd lose hair making this call, it's a tough one.
Wentz has been slow to release the ball all season, and I don't know what the Commanders line is going to find him more time today. So for Mclaurin to pay off, he'll need to find him on a bunch of mid routes or short RAC routes. That happens sometimes, but not always.
I don't know enough about Montgomery to make my opinion better than yours. I expect this game will have a lot of points though and Detroit's run defense has been leaky lately. I don't think Herbert coming back stole too much work from him either.
Juju is definitely going to get targets. They'll probably be short. Denver's pass D is among the best in the league although the team is currently imploding in spectacular fashion.
Honestly, if you have any confidence in Montgomery, I'd say go there. The two WRs... Maybe they break free for a long touchdown but it's a maybe and both have things working against them this weekend IMO.
Your thinking is where i'm at right now...i had McLaurin in but with Wentz starting i pulled him just a few moments ago to go back to montgomery....ugh

I personally love getting through Sunday without the fat lady having sung. I wouldn't make my lineup choices based on that, but it's nice when it happens organically.
Personally I have Allen, Higgins, and Knox all going Monday night so I'll be in it still no matter how far I'm trailing at the end of today. They're my best options at their positions too, so it wasn't forced, just happenstance.

We play all season in the hopes of getting to torture ourselves like this today. Best of luck.

If Jeudy plays I would go with him over Wilson. He's been getting a lotta love lately in that otherwise horrible offense.1pt PPR (For all the Marbles)
Garrett Wilson vs Jerry Jeudy
Switched out 3 times already this morning...HELP.
Ministry of Pain

Akers has been red hot, stands out
Pacheco? Isn't McKinnon all the rage in KC?
AJ Dillon will see more touches but the Vikings are soft vs the Pass, not truly an easy rush defense.
I would likely play Akers and watch the Rams and Chargers shoot it out at So Fi
Kirk was Top 10 on the season entering this week, easy start IMO despite being well below his avg last week.
Lazard should see an uptick in targets
RB-Akers
WR-Kirk
Flex-Lazard IMHO
1pt PPR (For all the Marbles)
Garrett Wilson vs Jerry Jeudy
Switched out 3 times already this morning...HELP.
I like Jeudy here...finishing the year strong
(HULK)

I'd go Garrett but it's less about him and more about wanting no part of a guy playing through injury on a Denver team that is fully melting down with nothing to play for. Jets are at least going to be trying their best to win.1pt PPR (For all the Marbles)
Garrett Wilson vs Jerry Jeudy

I like Montgomery and wouldn't hesitate to start him. Detroit were frighteningly bad against the run last week, Carolina just destroyed them at the LOS. Plus i'm going against Montgomery today so he's destined to blow up. In all seriousness, i'd go with Monty, the others feel more like dart throws, especially JuJu.

Wilson for the same reasons others have said...I wouldn't trust broncos offense. Disclaimer: I'm a Sutton owner1pt PPR (For all the Marbles)

I would also lean Goff, just due to track record (boy that is weird to say). Also more likely to be in a shootout. But it's close.
Gut tells me Walker and Dillon for RBs
Good luck!

I feel Montgomery is the safest bet here, but it's close. Good luck!

For all the marbles, 2 flex spots one is SF eligible. 12 team PPR TE premium.
R Wilson, M Williams, C Kirk, A Cooper, A Lazard, McKinnon, J Meyers or Njoku.
I have Wilson and McKinnon going as of now.

This is a tough call for me, as I am not a fan of Gabe and his inconsistency. Ugh. But I also hate starting a WR on the floundering Colts, on the road, with a revolving QB door. I'd go Gabe in the Monday night shootout.

Chase Edmonds
Khalil Herbert
Samaje Perine.
Yeah that's right.

Ooof. I don't play superflex, but Russ has to be started here right? The rest...boy, that's a lot of options...but without looking at trends/stats I'd pick Kirk. McKinnon is close though. Good luck!

In a 0.5 PPR Kmet at Det or Goedert vs NOS?
Kmet had a great game against Det earlier.
Would still go Goedert but continuing to read how tough the Saints are on TEs concerns me.

Mercy bump. 29 year dynasty league and I am 1-4 in championship games. Have to get this right!!!
I go wilson in the sf position...espeically if it's 6 pts per passing td
otherwise
williams>Mckinnon>kirk
There is no getting right...just depression and monday morning regrets
That being said this is a real tough pick
I'd lean diontae right now...followed closely by swift

PPR league sit one rb:
Robinson Vs Browns
Walker Vs Jets
McKinnon Vs Broncos
Thanks
Leaning towards sitting mckinnon.

For me it depends on what you are looking for...walker is going to get all the touches, he catches passes and is a threat to score...has a huge ceiling and a pretty good floor - safe pick
Mckinnon has a lower floor but in ppr has some huge potential.
I'd still lean walker > Mckinnon

Std scoring - need 2
Dobbins v. Pitt
Foreman @ Tampa
Pacheco v. Denver
Currently have Pacheco and Foreman because I just don't know what Balt. is doing w their run game. Foreman definitely can get game scripted out, but has a higher upside.

I like Dobbins and Pacheco but that's just me
Foreman just makes me nervous...i know he ran wild last week but the week before he barely did anything
