Week 3 who should I start thread **OFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

[Chaka]

I'm thinking of playing Andrews in the TE spot and Gronk in the flex over Damien Williams. NO shut down Aaron Jones in a weird game and slowed down CMAC holding him to just 74 yards rushing on 24 carries. Andrews has a great matchup against Detroit and is due for a big game. The Bucs will be without Antonio Brown and Ramsey will probably guard Evans. It seems Gronk could have a big game as well. 

I think you unquestionably play Gronk & Andrews over Williams. 

Did you mean Damien Harris? That would make it a more interesting decision. Gronk is on fire right now but it's completely understandable to anticipate a regression to the mean. Andrews has an amazing matchup @BobbyLayne had some great commentary about what Detroit is rolling out at DB & LB.

Still, I think Harris is the guy in NE (but there is still room for for White to be productive) and it's hard to bench a guy like Harris.

IMO your choice is between Gronk and Andrews. My logical side says Gronk is the obvious choice but my gut says this is Andrews is the call.

I hate trying to tell someone to bench anyone - if you like the matchup and the player, you do you.

But maybe something to consider about Gronk...he only ran 25 routes last week (TB passed 40 times), and saw 5 targets.

That may not mean anything. Basically, there are two paths to being a top 5 TE. You have to have either  90 + targets OR 10+ touchdowns. In the last 20 years I think all but 1 or 2 TEs have been a Top 5 TE who surpassed either one. I want to say Dennis Pitta (awhile back) was one, and the other might have been Andrews last year (he had like 87 in 14 G so he was certainly on pace.)

The other super common trait is Top 5 TEs are almost always a Top 2 target on their team. Now it's not 98% like the above stats but it's still pretty high, like 85% of the time. Robert Tonyan last year was like 4th on his team in targets. It can def happen.

Gronk stays in to block a lot these days. Generally Top 5 TEs pass pro on less than 15%. Kittle is an exception to that, think last year he was at 15.3% - which makes sense for the 49ers to do, the guy is the absolute best blocking TE in the game. And Gronk.....well, he's an enthusiastic blocker.

So with GRONK you have: doesn't run a ton of routes, may not be targeted as often as we like to see, and he def doesn't look like a Top 2 target with that WR corps. But you know what? It's the GOAT QB and one of the best TEs ever, they have more TDs than any other QB-TE combo. To heck with stats and trends and historical qualifiers. 

Andrews is a bit of n anomaly. Most Top 5 TEs are high snap count, high utilization. Andrews played around 60% of the snaps last year, and maybe less than 60% (58?) the year before. But the Ravens do these massive rotations, their snap count %s are unlike any other team in the league. And it doesn't matter in Andrews case bc 1) he still sees a ton of targets, always topping 90 2) his TD rate is high (we say TDs are variable and they are but then again some guys are heavily targeted in the RZ), 3) he is MOST definitely a Top 2 target in Baltimore, and 4) they don't ask him to block much, the other TEs on the roster handle that role. He is off to a bad start this year but it's a small sample size.

This week the Ravens are going to confidence camp. That's what playing Detroit is like for good teams. GB has a historically bad Week 1. R-E-L-A-X we got our favorite whipping boys coming to town, they can't stop anyone. Ravens are a train wreck right now? (/ their fans here and on Reddit) I would not worry about that this week.

Andrews ticks all the boxes for a Top 5 TE.

GRONK does not, but come on, it's TB12 and his favorite RZ target. Been a winning combo 11 of the last 12 years, no reason to think anything has changed.

My first tough call of the year with Tee Higgins out.  Hope he's back soon because I'm in going to be leaning on Sermon/Carter/Jamaal Williams for my RB2 until CMC gets back. I'm in the "hoping to tread water" phase of my season. Hoping to be Boyd vs my RB3's for this spot 

PPR scoring, pick my 2nd flex:

Rondale Moore at Jax - seems like 4-5 short looks and a good chance of one long broken play bomb have been the pattern. 

Trey Sermon GB- If he's 70% snaps/carries or more, he's probably the play but I don't trust the situation. I'd be pretty peeved if Jacques Patrick and Trenton Cannon end up all getting 35% of the work. And that seems like something that could happen.

Yeah, that’s too much risk this week with Sermon. I think there are some positive signs but have to wait n see.

Moore, regardless of the score or game script, is going to have a bunch of plays called fir him every week, and he’s better at bubble screens then anyone ride on the roster. No doubt he will have weeks where doesn’t break a long one abs it will look pedestrian. But he’s going to get looks every week.

Lance is a gadget guy until next season or Garappolo gets hurt.

I simply don't trust the Indianapolis offense right now so I can't recommend Himes.

Watkins has a super plus matchup and he's getting decent volume and seems to have a high floor. The only downside is this could be a blowout. But I do like Watkins upside.

Brisset is the safe play. You're gonna get 200-250 yards passing, maybe 30 yards rushing and 1-2 TDs. He has some upside to exceed that but I wouldn't count on it.

Brisset to play it safe, Watkins otherwise.

If your RB2 options are Sermon, Carter and J. Williams that's tough. I think Tevin Coleman is out so Carter is probably the best option.

I am having a difficult time slotting Sermon on my roster this week as well. All signs are trending up for his opportunities, but I agree that Shanahan is capable of disappointing magic football owners.

The thing that I can't ignore is the Niners have a top O-line, they don't shy away from running even in negative game scripts, Shanahan feeds his top RB and literally all of the evidence says Sermon is that guy (of course they signed guys this week, they literally lost four RBs in two games).

Still, Moore does seem like both the safer play and an upside play.

 

[Chaka]

Nicknames can be fun but they can also be frustrating.

Danny Dimes? Okay I've heard that is apparently a thing and context made it obvious.

Uncle Lenny? I honestly have no idea who that is. Fournette? Len Dawson? My dentist?

Seeing as how this thread is all about asking for advice maybe we limit their use in this thread? Would that be okay?

 

[Chaka]

1/2 PPR 

Pittman, Uncle Lenny, KJ Osborn, or Gabe Davis at my 2nd flex

Pittman seems like the obvious choice to me. Indianapolis may be off to a deeply concerning start but he does seem to be the clear lead WR.

Then again I have no idea who Uncle Lenny is so, sure start that guy.

 

[Chaka]

Jonu vs the standard waiver wire TE fodder. Non PPR. I’m taking a liking t D Knox or G. Everett

I do like Everett as a player but he is getting very few opps so far. I think you have to go with Jonnu just for the seeming consistency of opportunity.

Need help with a flex. PPR league.

* L. Fournette @LAR -- TB has been pass happy especially around the goal line. Don't see a ton of upside, but could have a 8-10 point floor in PPR. Gio a non-factor. Could see 50 yards rushing, a couple receptions, maybe luck out with a rushing TD (finally).

OR

* M. Pittman @TN -- Pittman had a great week 2 and would appear to be a clear #1 WR now. The TN secondary is horrendous. Normally I'd go with Pittman here, but the Wentz situation makes this iffy. Latest reports indicate Wentz is starting, but I question if he'll be effective and/or will they focus on the run.

Note: I'm projected to win by 18 (after my opponent got screwed with CMC injury).

Which one?

Thanks in advance!

This is a surprisingly tough call. They spread the ball all over the field in Tampa so you can't know who will have a big game.

However Fournette is the clear lead back on the best offense in the league. He is only getting 10 carries/game but he is getting a surprising 5 targets/game as well. That helps make him less TD dependent in your PPR.

You hit the nail in the head with Pittman. #1 guy but confusion at QB.

Gotta be honest this feels like a coin toss. I think I lean Fournette but barely.

 

[Adso]

Here's a fun one... Trey Sermon vs Ty'son Williams. (PPR)

Sermon, barring an extreme showing of Shanhanagins, will be the unquestioned lead back against GB's 4th worst run Def in a potentially high scoring game. Yet we have seen only one real game carry (a nice run fwiw) for the rookie and he is coming off a short recovery week from a brutal hit and concussion. The 49ers are averaging 24 RB rushes and 4 targets per game after the first two weeks. 

Williams, who is in an inexplicable 50% timeshare split with Murray, has done nothing but ball out the last two weeks (22/142/1 run and 5/45 on 6 targets) and ranks 3rd in the league behind Henry and Chubb in yards after contact per attempt (min 20 carries). The Ravens are on the road against the leagues worst Def in the Lions. Muddying the waters is a slew of COVID listed players on Def (less opportunity for a run based salt it away win, but maybe more work in the receiving game for TW?), Lamar Jackson with an illness (more RB carries?), and their starting left tackle out with injury (less effective run game?). The Ravens are averaging 22.5 RB rushes and 3 targets per game after the first two weeks; Williams is the only RB on the roster with a target so far this year. 

I'm starting one of these guys over ARob (want to see the Fields connection before plugging him in), but for the life of me, can't figure out which one. I'm leaning Williams given the matchup and seemingly higher floor, but I think Sermon has the higher upside in terms of ability, scheme, and shootout potential in this game.

I'm 2-0 going up against one of the top ship contending teams and an early win here would be huge.

What would you do?

Ty'son first, last and always (this week). Guaranteed volume, very good production, double plus good matchup.

[The Kerminator]

Kudos to this thread. Should be a great resource to bounce ideas off of others and get various opinions on those tough calls.

So not a WDIS question but a who do I roster question.

Limited roster spots in a PPR league. My WRs are AJ Brown, Shepherd, Mooney and Elijah Moore.

I just picked up Mooney this week. But now the more I read I'm strongly considering dropping him and adding Pittman. Do it?

We can keep 3 players from year to year and I got Elijah Moore super cheap at the auction. So I'm hoping to hang on to him as a potential keeper, although not married to him.

Do I pick up Pittman and if so, who do I drop? Mooney or E. Moore?

I could see a scenario where if Mooney pans out he'd be a decent keeper as well.

 

[kyoun1e]

Thanks much for the reply. Coin toss is right.

Wish I could make this decision in a late game and see where I am at that point. Think Fournette is the "safer" play and considering I'm favored that may be the right way to go vs. risking a lower floor with Pittman.

[Mongidig]

Assuming you mean Damien Harris and not Wiliams. If its Williams, start the 2 TEs for sure. If its Harris, I might be being a bit overreactive, but I'd probably sit Andrews. Its close, but so far, it seems like Hollywood is the clear #1 in that passing game, and while the Lions pass defense is really bad, its not like they are going to have any answer for the Ravens running game either. 

I'd say Gronk>Harris>Andrews, but non are bad starts. 

I get the logic, but I don't think I'd sit Sutton until we know he won't be seeing 10+ targets a game without Jeudy. 

I meant Damien Harris. sorry!

I would play Tyson Williams. Sermon may be in the lineup only because they have no one else. We've seen Williams run well. Go with what you know. I think the only thing keeping Williams from more playing time is some poor blocking.

I’m wondering if Gronk will be the number 2 receiver this week. AB is out and Ramsey will shadow Evans most likely. That being said, I have heard that Ramsey isn’t necessarily shadowing people these day’s. When Gronk was on with the Mannings he talked about how much he loves blocking. I feel like a back to earth game is coming for Gronk.
 

I do feel like a big week is coming for Andrews.

That feels like a lateral move tbh.  But, I think Cephus is the probably the #1 WR in Detroit, not the #1 target mind you that is Hockensen followed by both RBs.  Still Cephus is getting play in the red zone and has a well defined role.

Not a strong recommendation but I lean Cephus.

Cephus is somebody you could use now if needed. Marshall is still more of a long term hold. Marshall may start to get more targets with CMAC out. I’d like to hold Marshall if I could. He could break out this weak against Dallas.

Ty'son (surprised so many people are asking about him in here, he's the lead back on the best running team in football.  He's getting touches and producing with them, his role should only increase).

Of the others I lean Moore, he is explosive and seems to be getting consistent high % opportunities.  Ruggs is also explosive but his opportunities have, to date, been lower % (deep routes).  However re: Ruggs it does look like the Raiders are involving him more in higher % routes so he may be starting the breakout season his owners are hoping for.  Still until we know more I lean Moore.

 

[Chaka]

1/2 pt. PPR

RB/WR/TE Flex: Javonte Williams vs. Cordarrelle Patterson 

WR/TE Flex: Rondale Moore vs. Kyle Pitts (or play both and bench both above)

Javonte his star is trending up, if you watch his limited pro file he looks so strong and he is getting consistent usage in a very plus matchup. I just can't see Cordarrelle continuing with this high TD efficiency.

Moore v Pitts is a tough one (I am struggling with a Pitts flex decision myself this week).  This is almost a coin toss for me but I like how much usage Pitts is getting, he is running a lot of routes and getting decent targets.  Russell Gage is out and I think this may be Pitts breakout game.  You could make a similar argument for Moore though.

I really like T Williams against Detroit. I feel like Mooney has a floor and could catch a deep pass or two although he was limited in practice this week. Kirk is boom or bust. Moore is earning more and more playing time. I don’t quite trust Ruggs yet.
 

I’d play Williams and  ride the wave with Moore.

• Gronk @ LAR (Kelce is my TE1 & already starting Godwin at my WR2)

Interesting.

I want to say Robinson but he has not been getting the opportunities that most of us anticipated.  Still I think he has the clearest path to touches.

I actually like Drake, he has a decent floor with his pass catching ability and maybe, just maybe, he has a little extra juice facing a Miami that probably would like to have him back on the roster.

Gronk has been a TD efficiency machine but he doesn't offer much in a PPR.  I think he has the lowest floor, but still it's Brady to Gronk and that cannot be dismissed outright.

Robinson, Drake, Gronk  but I could see me changing my mind multiple times on this one.

Dionte Johnson and Tee Higgens both out this weekend.  My only choices now are:

Tony Pollard or Darnell Mooney at my FLEX position.

What you guys got?

Have Marvin Jones in over JRob in my flex in one league and Marvin Jones in over Rondale Moore in another. Would you guys sit Marvin for either of those guys?

I wouldn't.

Still think Marvin in a contest Jacksonville should be playing catch up in...

Sammy all day every day. This is not an ugly choice at all.

He is in a 1a/1b situation at WR with Brown, Andrews is absolutely a factor but he is the third option in the passing game right now. The Ravens don't throw a lot to their RBs either. Lamar is completing 66% of his passes and he is pushing the ball down field. Finally he had a double plus good matchup.

Of course there is a chance that Baltimore blows Detroit away and runs out of he clock, but no matter how big the lead that game plan doesn't happen until under 10 minutes in the 4th.

Chark is the only one I would even consider buy his usage has been wildly inconsistent. They throw more but Lawrence is only completing 50% right now. They have 18 more attempts than Baltimore but only 4 more completions, that amounts to one more target for Chark than Watkins.

I think you have to go Pollard. Dude has been flashing big time and you don't want to miss out on it if this isn't a mirage.

Mooney has a rookie QB and doesn't really seem to be a factor in the red zone.

No. Marvin has been the one true bright spot for the Jags. IMO you have to ride that and hope it lasts.
