Week 17 2024 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL** CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION! (1 Viewer)

standard (no PPR)

Tyjae Spears vs. Jax
Brian Robinson vs. Atl
Breece Hall vs. Buf

Jameson Williams vs. SF
Garrett Wilson vs. Buf
Tyreek Hill vs. Cle

Thanks!
I think I go with Brian Robinson personally. He gets much more utilization in games that are not track meets. I think there's an opportunity for him to play the clock killing role today.

Can't play Tyreek without Tua. In my opinion. Your other option is really all about risk aversion. Personally I'm going to go with Jameson's upside.
 
Tyreek Hill or Isaac Guerendo

PPR, also half point per rush.

I hate both matchups. Also have zero confidence in how Guerendo is used on Monday night coming off injuries.
You have to check on Guerendo's status and ask yourself how much confidence you have in that. I have a lot of trouble rolling Tyreek out with Tua not playing.
 
PPR FLEx

KENDRE vs LV
Or
WICKS @ MIN

Having a hard time trusting wicks’ volume even with Watson out but miller was pretty bad last week and raiders should be able to pack the box

I'm thinking of starting Wicks as well (Waddle and Tua out) Wicks had 5 rec 78 yds and 2 TD's against Minny earlier in year and I'm the underdog by a little). Need to decide between Wicks and Coker but presently leaning Wicks (Should have to throw a ton) If your favored maybe Kendre but if your the underdog like me Wicks is the play.

PPR need one:

Wicks vs MIN (Watson Out) Leaning this way. Just feel like alot of passing in this one
Coker vs TB
Scantling vs LV
Cooks vs Eagles
Zachaeus vs Atl (Weather could be issue)
Nick Westbrook Ikhine vs Jax
Waddle vs Clev (Probably not playing Tua out)

Thanks

The latest Looks like waddle will be out too. He was also in the mix for me in this decision until I saw that

I lean Kendre because of volume. It's a good matchup and apparently the Raiders flight was delayed and they landed at 11 pm last night.
 
Nabers slotted for my last WR but he is questionable. Have Wicks on the bench but Coleman, Pierce, Lazzard, and Slayton all available on ww. Think Slayton is playable if Nabers is inactive?
Stick with Nabers. Pivot to Slayton if he's out.
1 PPR..10 point underdog

Pick 1

Drake London at Washington
Malik Nabers vs Indy
Jameson Williams at SF
Jameson. Total gut call.
Super Flex:
With Hurts out, my options are Flacco (@NYG) or Rudolph (@Jax). Which is the least worst option?

Edit: looks like bad weather in Jacksonville.
Flacco for me.
 
Goff without hesitation.

Been trying to figure out why CBS Sportsline Fantasy has been consistently rating Baker Mayfield way ahead of Goff in recent weeks.

I've got both available in my title game. Mayfield hosting Carolina Sunday at noon, Goff traveling to SF on Monday night. Standard scoring for passers except 5-pt passing TDs and no deduction for interceptions.

I know fantasy-site scoring predictions are thought to be garbage. But why does CBS have Goff at 17.7 and Mayfield at 23.3? That's a big spread, not a pick-em. CBS has predicted them at a similar split the last two weeks, and Goff bested Mayfield's score both times (by a ton Week 15). And Mayfield, last week, started slow and had to have a furious second half to put up a decent FF score in our league.

Is starting Goff an easy no-brainer here, with him being so hot lately? Or is there a good argument for starting Mayfield? Will the "Detroit wants revenge" factor matter more than Monday night weather in the Bay (or is it not as big a thing for football in Santa Clara as it once was for baseball in Candlestick? @Eephus )?
I would start Mayfield because of the Carolina D.
Spot on :moneybag:

Weird. The quote above was in reference to steadymobbin's post about Goff, Darnold or Penix.

Pretty sure I said Goff over Mayfield too at some point but not that post.

Mayfield has been great this year. It's a plus matchup too. I just think, with all the injuries in defense and losing Monty, the Lions are going to have to score a lot (something they're good at) and the offense is going to run through Goff more than when the D was healthy and Monty was killing clock.

I have zero concerns Campbell starts resting players in week 17.
Found it.
 
I was just high-fiving Fair Warning. No comment intended regarding your conversation with Mr Soup.

EDIT: I did see your take on Goff vs Mayfield, and appreciate that you took the time to respond. Upshot was there were defensible reasons to choose either QB - it wasn’t clear-cut. Mayfield just had a huge game … which in no way precludes Goff from going off tomorrow night.

I didn't feel called out at all. No worries. I gave Goff the edge over Mayfield. I just didn't realize when you posted that comment/question that it was steadymobbin's OP.

And, to be fair, Goff hasn't played yet. I'm thinking four hundred yards and six TD passes, all to Jahmyr Gibbs of course (which I say has nothing to do with my fantasy team in the Championship game) is a pretty likely outcome for Goff.

J Jennings
Or
Deebo

Down 9 with the bad guys having Det kicker to go.

Deebo had 8-80something in this matchup last year and he did well last week. Wondering if SF will be using as a pass catcher out of the backfield like Buffalo did vs Det a few weeks ago. Also looking for who works out of the slot more ( looking for a Keenan Allen type game vs Det last week)

TIA

I think they're both good options who can overcome an 8 point +kicker deficit. I would personally start Deebo because of his versatility.
