Week 4 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

[Goooals]

Standard scoring Non-PPR league.

I need to start 2 of these players in the flex:

Chase Brown vs Den - Denver can be run on, but is the OL really that bad that he can't find a single hole to run through?
Travis Etienne vs SF - SF if good against the run; Has been surprisingly solid but numbers have gone down since wk 1
Jaylen Warren vs Min - Game is being played abroad; Min shut down Brown last week
Higgins vs Den - Surtain will probably shadow Chase which would open up Higgins; but he couldn't even get garbage time throws last week
Deebo Samuel - I thought he would have been better last week with Eckler out; has yet to make my lineup; most likely a bye week filler

Again, need to start two of these.



Second question is:

Kraft vs Dal - Didn't do much last week after injuring his knee late in the week
Hockenson vs Pit - Finally involved last week but of course he was on my bench

Thanks in advance for all of the replies!

 

[Chaka]

PPR league. 12 teams. Desperate to upgrade at RB even if slightly. Need upside.

Rate this trade offer:

* I GIVE: I. Pacheco & H. Fannin

* I GET: T. Henderson

Note: I have T. McBride at TE and the other manager is desperate for TE help.

Local beat NE writers saying Henderson is getting first reps today at practice.

No brainer to offer?

Thanks

That is interesting news. I wonder if @Anarchy99 would be willing to chime in on what people are feeling about Henderson this week and RoS (NBD if you don't).

I am somewhat high on Henderson but, I cannot say he is an upgrade over Pacheco this week or even RoS. I think he is. I want him to be. Hell, I need him to be. I just traded Ladd & Swift for Zay and Henderson (Zay was my target but I held out for Henderson as a "throw in".

I assume this is a redraft. I am not convinced think Fannin is anything yet. He is trending down and is still in a deeply crowded group of pass catchers in Cleveland with the prospect of a rookie QB starting likely sooner than later.

On it's surface I like it and I would most likely do it. But, I don't have my ear to the ground on this one.

I can't recommend any Bengals ATM. Of course you start Ja'Marr but, that's it. They need to right the ship first and, if that means missing out on a game of production, so be it IMO.

Jaylen is trending in the right direction for usage but, man his efficiency is poor. Gainwell vultured a short TD too. Warren had seven carries on that scoring drive, including rushes from the 14, 8, 4 & GL. But after the first GL attempt and an incomplete from Rodgers, Gainwell came in to finish the job. I suspect that isn't entirely sticky but, it still sucks. My bigger concern is if the Steelers can consistently move the ball on anyone. The defense forced five turnovers and the best the Steelers could do is 203 total yards and 21 points. I think Minnesota has a great defense and, they won't reproduce two pick 6s this week (probably not at least) this unit is not to be taken lightly.

Deebo seems like a good option with McLaurin trending out. It's a neutral road matchup and, in a blowout last week he still got three carries. In a close game I think he will see more than six opportunities.

I am surprised Etienne isn't getting a little more volume. He's the only thing going right for the Jags offense. But he seems stuck in the 16 opportunity range which, is good but, I would like to see him in the 20 range.

It comes down to Etienne v Warren for me. Warren is getting the volume, Etienne is finding the end zone. Tough call.

I probably lean to the volume but, could easily be persuaded otherwise.

Warren>Etienne
===================================

Hock feels a bit like chasing points this week and Kraft has a matchup that makes QBs sing so far. If you feel good about his knee (I haven't heard anything negative yet)

Kraft>Hock

Do I start Deebo if McLaurin is out? OR:
Brian Thomas Jr as my other option at WR

I haven't heard a ton or seen much to indicate Henderson is getting actual first team reps. I can't say I have looked that hard or been that absorbed this week. Last I heard were comments from Vrabel, who sounded line Stevenson was a big piece of what they do and would remain so (paraphrasing).

Mike Reiss tweeted that Henderson got the first touch in a drill today. IMO, that doesn't say much of anything. That's far different from being the guy in the backfield for actual live snaps with Stephenson on the sideline for plays at a time in practice. Maybe Henderson gets some more snaps in this week's game. Maybe they cut back on some of Stephenson's touches. Maybe they give Rhamondre a shot across the bow as a warning this week. But in Stevenson's time in NE, they have never actually ceded anything to anyone else other than him "losing" his starting role for the first series of a game.

The current snap breakdown is in alignment to what I suggested to start the season. I had RS at 55%, TH at 30%, and AG at 15%. They are currently at RS 55%, TH at 38%, and AG at 17%. The math doesn't add up as they have been playing some two back sets. Henderson has been getting about the number of touches I expected. Stephenson has seen fewer touches than in the past. But that's hard to gage as he was coming off an injury at the end of training camp and then got sat down after his two fumbles this past week. But the other thing I thought would happen played out. That if Stephenson was out of the game, they would turn to Gibson and Henderson wouldn't necessarily get a huge workload.

Henderson hasn't exactly lit the world on fire. He only has a 3.4 ypc average, and other than his 2 fumbles, Stephenson had outpaced Henderson in pretty much everything, most importantly in pass protection. Maybe if Henderson was getting chunk play after chunk play and drives were getting extended because of him, then they would give him a much bigger role. But we haven't seen him do much so far.

I still think for fantasy purposes, NE will struggle to have consistent fantasy producers. Someone will have a big week and then disappear for 4-5 weeks. And they will rotate who the flavor of the week was. One week it was Boutte. Last week it was Stevenson. This week it was Henry. IMO, NE players are flex options, bye week fill-ins, or injury replacements. At least for now. Maybe someone will get established more as the season goes, but I haven't seen anyone that screams "this is the guy."

Do I start Deebo if McLaurin is out? OR:
Brian Thomas Jr as my other option at WR

Again Non-PPR league

This week I'd have to start Deebo
Especially if McLaurin is out

 

[Rubi]

PPR lost CeeDee, need a flex

Rashod Bateman @ KC
Dontayvion Wicks @ DAL

I have Bateman in ATM because it's a top 3 offense but Wicks @ Dallas is very tempting.

I have these two side by side this week
If I have a tiebreaker it's that Green Bay is playing one of if not the worst defenses in the league
The Cowboys secondary has been torched in three games
So I'd roll with Wicks

 

[Rubi]

I'm happy to start because my teams suck.

Daniel Jones @ LAR
Bo Nix v CIN

I know Jones is an early MVP candidate (can't believe I said that with a straight face) but It's gotta be Bo, right?

Flex spot, Full PPR:
Jameson Williams v CLE
TreVeyon Henderson v CAR
JCM @ ATL

I'm tempted to believe Henderson will see more opportunities this week. He is in my lineup ATM. He won't be full time yet because, I don't believe he has all his protections on lockdown but, with all the fumbling going on with Rhamondre & Gibson they have to give him more opportunities in more obvious running situations and script a few more passes for him, right? And it should be a plus matchup at home too.

The Indiana Jones storyline is a good one so far
But this week I'd roll with Nix given the matchups

For flex i think I'd go with Williams
Browns D is tough but The Lions offense is rolling,they're at home in the dome and Williams can get you a high number with very few targets

 

[Rubi]

With the Cee Dee Lamb injury, that could lead to him missing up to 3 weeks, I need to fill the ranks.

Both Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston are available in my league. I'm leaning towards Allen. Any thoughts? Chargers play the Giants this week.

Thanks!

Hard to believe BOTH of those receivers are still available
For me it's Allen

 

[Rubi]

flex 0.5 ppr

DK Metcalf vs Minnesota (early sunday game)
or

Editted to add or Michael Pittman @ Rams

Tough one
Probably an ever so slight edge to Pittman for me
But Williams and DK aren't far behind
Good Luck

Tough calls. Obviously if Worthy doesn't play, Thornton is a solid option. If Worthy plays...? Considering your other options I almost think you have to start him. If you think he might be a decoy then Thornton may be a better option than if Worthy doesn't play. Tough call trying to parse this out.

And with Dart starting in NY you can't really know how he is going to lock in so I pass on Wan'Dale. It's also a tough matchup. Mooney got peppered with a bunch of targets last week, I think he is #2 on this list.

Worthy Out
Thornton>Mooney>Wan'Dale

Worthy In
Mooney>Worthy>Thornton>Wan'Dale

Home and Away info is appreciated.

You have them ordered pretty much the way I would. I can see pushing Coleman up but, over who? I just don't trust his target share. Will it be 10? 3? I have no way to figure it out. He got 3 in a blowout of the Jets and 4 in a tight game last week. I think you have better options... More reliable targets at least.

Worthy is interesting and, I love the matchup but, he feels like a big gamble this week.

Tough call. Seattle is a tougher defense but their strength is against the run. Unfortunately Kyler is not putting up particularly strong passing numbers and the Cardinals seem content playing ball control and not passing a bunch. His running is still great at about 32 yards per game.

The Bears give up a lot of yards and a lot of TDs through the air but the Detroit game skews that a bunch (334 yards, 5 TDs). But the Raiders struggle to run ATM so, if they're going to move the ball, it should be through the air.

Yeah... I'm honestly struggling with this but, ultimately I think I go with the multi tool

Kyler>Geno

[Bang Bang Niner Gang]

Chose 1 WR for 1/2 PPR.
Deebo
Juedy
M. Golden
J. Jennings
K. Coleman

Matchups please, bruh. Off the top of my head I don't know who or where Deebo or Jennings is playing or if Jeudy is at home or on the road.

I like Deebo here in general. He got three carries and three targets in a blowout win, apparently he will return the occasional kickoff which, is great if your league gives any ST TDs to the player, and McLaurin is hobbling. I consider it a neutral road matchup that the Commanders should probably win.

I can see an argument for Coleman but, it's hard to trust what the Bills will do with their WRs in general and it's tough to know what will happen when the Bills blow out an opponent. When they boat raced the Jets, Coleman saw three targets.

It gets iffy after that. Jeudy is the WR1 in Cle but 7 low quality targets doesn't excite anyone even if the opponent will roll up points on them.

The Cowboys D seems to cure all QB ills but, I'm not sure you want to gamble on something so unknown as the Packers passing game. I go with him for the upside but the downside seems huge, just like Coleman.

Not much interest in the Jennings coming off injury, Purdy coming off injury combo

I should sit Brown until he shows something, but I hate to miss the inevitable game where all the usage clicks. I should wait on Godwin until he knocks off the rust/proves health. I'd like to wait on Benson to verify his upgraded role.

But somebody has to fill my flex spot this week...

I have the same decision between Brown or Benson. Right now I have Brown in my line up but it could change. My reasoning is all projections including FBG have Brown over Benson and I hate starting guys on Thursday night as I ALWAYS get burned. Started Worthy and Reed weeks 1 & 2 and got goose eggs from both.

Javonte Williams vs Packers

Thanks!

It's very difficult to bench Javonte ATM. He still had a very good game in Chicago, especially in PPR. It's a tough matchup but, shouldn't even more of the offense run through him now?

Benson is more unknown. He enters an offense that emphasizes the run and gives the RBs opps to score. The strength of the Seattle defense is against the run.

As much as I would want to play with my new toy...

Javonte>Benson

 

[urbanhack]

2QB superflex league - PPR - bonus points for long TDs 40+ 50+

I already have the Williams/Odunze stack which has worked out great.

Mayfield is from another planet IMO. He grinds like no one else and lives for pressure. He's at home, which is a plus but now no Evans and, I'm not sure about Godwin. I think the Bucs can still win but, I'm not loving this as a big stats day.

Jones on the road isn't ideal and the Rams have a strong defense. What I like is his mobility, the run game keeps defenses from getting too cute and his skill players are all healthy.

Coin toss but
Jones>Baker
≠====================

After last week against a different tough defense, IDK how you bench Judkins. The Browns only shot at winning is controlling the clock and playing strong D.

You say "standard scoring" does than mean no PPR? If it's PPR, I'm going with Tet because of the volume he'll get.

If non PPR I think Devonta is the play because he has a better TD probability IMO.

I get not wanting to miss a big game from BTJ but, you have legitimate options.

No Godwin for me this week.

Tet/Devonta>BTJ>Godwin

Thanks for the original replies to my initial question. I'm removing Chase Brown and Higgins as I now need to see some sort of spark before re-inserting them back into my lineup.

So here is my updated WDIS question. Standard scoring non-ppr league. I need to start 3 of these players:

Etienne vs SF - 7th ranked defense against the run; may have trouble finding lanes
Warren vs Min - 18th against the run but shutdown Brown last week to the tune of 3 yards
Deebo vs ATL - On the turf; If Scary Terry is out, this moves him up the rankings
Hill vs NYJ - I'm guessing sauce will follow him around? Jets defense is 25th against the pass this year

As always, thanks in advance!

Etienne vs SF - 7th ranked defense against the run; may have trouble finding lanes
Warren vs Min - 18th against the run but shutdown Brown last week to the tune of 3 yards
Deebo vs ATL - On the turf; If Scary Terry is out, this moves him up the rankings
Hill vs NYJ - I'm guessing sauce will follow him around? Jets defense is 25th against the pass this year

As always, thanks in advance!

I guess I'd sit Warren as I don't have much faith in the Pittsburgh offense or in Warren. SF just lost Bosa and I don't see the game going in the way that favors Jacksonville running game but, Overall I think Etienne has a better chance at a decent game because He's better. Hill Deebo and Etienne is how I would set it.

2QB superflex league - PPR - bonus points for long TDs 40+ 50+

I already have the Williams/Odunze stack which has worked out great.

Mahomie is my other QB so I picked up T. Thornton to run a potential double stack.

So this week...both HR hitters and both at home.

T. Thornton vs. Ravens
or
Jamo vs. Cleveland

I think they are similarly placed and it really depends on how much you value the stack. In a vacuum I start Jameson because he is on the far superior offense and he's at home.

But, it is somewhat close. Thornton is seeing more targets, but only has one more reception and Jameson is seeing a lot more snaps (more opportunity potential). If you value the stack

Thornton>Jameson

In a vacuum
Jameson>Thornton

.5 PPR

White Hot Keenan Allen @ NYG
New Toy Trey Bensen vs Seattle

Pick one

Could also bench Jeanty vs Chicago (that would be difficult out of stubbornness alone).

Being Keenan has been so consistent and has a great matchup and, Benson is a bit of an unknown, in a good situation, with a tough matchup...

Keenan>Benson

As far as Jeanty is concerned, the smart move is to bench him for Benson IMO but, IRL I would probably be stubborn and start him. He has to figure it out at some point, right? Right???

I have Hurts and Mahommes at QB in a start 1 QB league. So far I have followed the experts rankings and started Hurts 1st 2 weeks and Mahommes last week. I am 0 for 3 in choosing the correct 1 costing me 2 wins.

Should I start Mahommes at home versus Baltimore or Hurts at Tampa Bay?

Thanks!

 

[Neal Cassady]

I'm happy to start because my teams suck.

Daniel Jones @ LAR
Bo Nix v CIN

I know Jones is an early MVP candidate (can't believe I said that with a straight face) but It's gotta be Bo, right?

Flex spot, Full PPR:
Jameson Williams v CLE
TreVeyon Henderson v CAR
JCM @ ATL

I'm tempted to believe Henderson will see more opportunities this week. He is in my lineup ATM. He won't be full time yet because, I don't believe he has all his protections on lockdown but, with all the fumbling going on with Rhamondre & Gibson they have to give him more opportunities in more obvious running situations and script a few more passes for him, right? And it should be a plus matchup at home too.

Nix for sure. I’d play Henderson. Cleveland’s DB’s are solid. JCM..not there yet.

Warren's volume has been great over the last two games. I know Gainwell got the TD last week but Warren got 3-4 carries inside the 8, including a GL opportunity (then a Rodgers incompletion then Gainwell came in for the score). As a volume based option I think he has to be in lineups this week.

Deebo as well. He is getting carries, he is seeing targets and he even got a kick return which, he nearly housed. If it's a blowout he may only see 6 opportunities but, I still think he's worth the risk just for his potential usage.

It comes down to Hill v Etienne. The Niners lost Nick Bosa for the season, that cannot be underestimated. I think Etienne will still see his 16 touches and, what he does with them is anyone's guess but I like the volume and the way he has been producing. It's a tough start but it has the earmarks of a decent start.

Hill got great volume last week but, man Tua's arm looks shot to my untrained eye. I just don't know if he can truly unlock Tyreek anymore. Still, it only takes one broken play and, with a downside of 8-10 targets in a game that should be competitive he is as good of a low end bet as any.

It's close for me but
Tyreek>Etienne

Hurts every week until further notice IMO. Mahomes has only been competitive in fantasy because of a few lucky rush TDs, that I don't consider sustainable. He also only has three pass TDs. There will be pressure to score because Baltimore puts up mad points but, I'm not sure these Chiefs can keep up. No one competes with Hurts for rush TDs and the Phili passing game came to life last week. Hurts is on a higher scoring team, he has a better OL, and he has better skill position players across the board.

Hurts>Mahomes

Pick 1 Flex...1 PT PPR:

Q Judkins @ DET
Deebo Samuel @ ATL
Devonta Smith @ TBB

 

[Rubi]

Pretty close for me but I'd give an edge to Smith this week
