Week 6 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (3 Viewers)

[KevDog&Twins]

Standard PPR League - played Wan'Dale Thursday night but need to pick 5 of these (D. Henry, K. Walker, R. Dowdle, C. Olave, T. McMillan, D. Samuel) on the outside looking in Golden & Ridley. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

 

[kyoun1e]

QB Question. 4 points per passing TD. Need a L. Jackson fill in.

* M. Stafford @BALT -- BALT decimated by injuries, lousy on D all around. Allowing explosive plays. One thing: Weather could be iffy...breezy and rainy...could lead to more Kyren.

or

* J. Love vs CINCI -- Another great matchup. GB is slooooow moving though. Could see GB grinding it if up big.

Which?

Thanks

4th overall at QB -Stafford has the safer floor right now and is coming off 37 and 35 point production in my leagues
Love had a big game right before the Bye week. I don't see a monster yardage game but 2-3 TDs are well within his range against the Bengals
Packers are 14 pt favorites last i checked, Love likely to see some short fields.
Still like the consistency and weapons for Stafford, this is a big game for the Rams and their possible post season if they can pull off the win

Depends on Chuba's status. If Chuba misses this week then your choice comes down to Henry v KWIII IMO.

Right now it looks like Chuba is going to miss this week, apparently he is not practicing this AM.

The Jags are a pass funnel defense (fewest rush attempts against) but they're closer to middle of the pack in yards (12th) & TDs (11th). They're also 22nd in yards/att.

The Rams otoh are 21st in attempts against but 10th in yards, 1st in TDs and 3rd in yards/att.

Since his week one monster game Henry is averaging 11.5 att for 37 yards & 0.5 TD. He still has the potential to put a monster at any time.

Not sure how to handicap rain with running.

Surprised I'm saying this but

KWIII>Henry

Barring severe wind I think Stafford is the better bet. The Rams offense runs through Stafford more than the Packers O runs through Love IMO. Love also has a lower floor.

They do both have good matchups but, I can more easily see Josh Jacobs being the focus of the Packers offense on Sunday than Kyren for the Rams.

Pay attention to wind but, ATM

Stafford>Love

Full PPR. Opponent just had Skat run for 30 points last night so in a but of a hole (although he did get a Zero from his PHI defense).

RB - Kyren @bal
RB - Breece Hall DEN
WR - Chase @GB
WR - Pickens @CAR
FLEX - Judkins @PIT

Have Justin Fields at QB so thinking about not playing Breece and hoping that any offense Jets get is via Fields. Would toss Judkins into RB2 and would need a flex from

Ladd @MIA
Quentin @MIA
McMillan DAL

Some would remove Judkins and slide Tet McMilan in that flex spot
Hall is about equal in terms of upside as Chase right now so I wouldn't take him off your starting roster
It's your team, do as you like

-I do wonder what the impact of both starting RBs OUT for the Bolts, how that shapes the offense. Can they ride Herbert and if so doesn't that produce more targets for the WRs?
Judkins/Tet is really your choice here for that Flex spot, my .02

K.Miller vs Patriots - only if Kamara is out, decent flex probably
BTJ vs Seahawks - benched him recently but this could be a pass fest?

Hello all. I have to choose between Rhamondre Stevenson, Njoku and Doubs for a flex spot. Thoughts? Thank you. 12 team PPR.

Need 2 more from following

McMillan vs Cowboys - even in non-ppr, good matchup right?
KW3 @ Jaguars - not feeling it but he's been mostly good
K.Miller vs Patriots - only if Kamara is out, decent flex probably
BTJ vs Seahawks - benched him recently but this could be a pass fest?

Since it's not PPR and, I am generally more inclined to make upside plays.

I am probably out on Tet because that offense doesn't score a lot and, when it does it looks like Tet is not a RZ target.

If Kamara is out you have to remember that the Patriots are generally a pass funnel defense. They are stout against the run (4th in yards, 1st in TDs, 4th in Y/A). I start him depending on how you feel about BTJ.

Speaking of BTJ, dude still plays 90% of the offensive snaps and has 14 more targets than the next guy on the Jaguars, Hunter and Strange, and one of those guys is not on IR. The Seahawks are definitely a pass funnel defense (they are very strong against the run) and that D is still very banged up. Dexter Lawrence and Jaran Reed are back, but their best DB Devon Witherspoon was DNP on W & Th as was starting safety Julian Love. Another starting DB, Riq Woolen is in the concussion protocol was limited in practice yesterday. Things are aligning pretty well for the Jags passing game.

But BTJ still only gets 7.6 targets/game, not true WR1 volume, but with Strange out and a tough D, I expect him to see more looks this week.

I like KWIII for sure because, despite having the fewest rush attempts against the Jags are closer to average in rush yardage given up (11th) and TDs (12th) and they are below average in yards/attempt (22nd).

KWIII>BTJ>Kendre*>Tet

ETA: You should know that I roster BTJ in both of my leagues so, I may be wishcasting him a bit.

Hello all. I have to choose between Rhamondre Stevenson, Njoku and Doubs for a flex spot. Thoughts? Thank you. 12 team PPR.

Matchups please.

It's not much to go on but, I pay attention when I see a rookie QB lock in on a target and, last week Dillon looked at Njoku more than anyone (Isiah Bond 2nd... go figure). It's only one start but, if Gabriel views Njoku as his safety net he could be in for a nice boost.

The Saints are a pretty mid run defense and it looks like Rhamondre is still a big part of the Patriots offense, including at the goal line but, that offense seems to run through Maye first and a RB committee next. I don't know if Rhamondre has 15 opportunity upside even with Gibson out.

Doubs is just as likely to get two targets as he is to get eight targets. You can just never tell with the GB passing game who is going to be featured in any give week.

Njoku>Rhamondre>Doubs

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. Need 2 of these guys:

* J. Jennings @TB -- Practicing Friday. So is Mac Jones. No idea how healthy he is, but with Pearsall out, should get his share against this secondary. TB a pass funnel D and may have to keep up with Mayfield and Egbuka.

* K. Bourne @TB -- See above. Does he take a backseat to Jennings?

* D. Waller vs LAC -- Snaps should increase again. Statistically, LAC tough against TEs, but they've played nobody really at that position that's noteworthy.

* T. Franklin @NYJ (London) -- Sutton should be tied up with Sauce Gardner. NYJs have allowed the #2 WR to blow up opposite Sauce. Last week, R. Flournoy, C. Austin previously, even S. Sheppard went 4-80.

Which two?

Thanks

 

[kyoun1e]

I'll start.

PPR and I need a flex

Kendre Miller @ NE
Hollywood Brown v Det

I think I need to start Hollywood because it's PPR and Miller may not consistently see 10-12 opportunities. But, Miller has looked very good in his opportunities.

I'd go Miller. Could see Brown giving you a big fat zero while Miller, albeit in a tough matchup, could get touches with Kamara questionable.

Game is in NO too, Rattler's been spunky, and NE may be feeling a bit full of themselves after the big BUF win. Also, Gonzo is questionable suddenly and him in/out of the lineup is huge.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league and I need two flex players

Jakobi Meyers v Ten
Zay Flowers v LAR
JCM v Chi
Etienne v Sea

I keep going back and forth on these guys.

I don't think JCM is a mirage and he looks amazing (but everyone should keep Woody Marks in mind when thinking about JCM).

Etienne has a tough matchup (Seattle is 12 in rush attempts against but 3rd in yards yielded, 1st in rush TDs against and 2nd in Y/A against) but I know he's going to see at least 16 opportunities which, cannot be ignored and, he's a plus in the passing game who gets GL touches too (although they don't use him in the 2 minute offense).

Zay caught 5 of 5 targets for 72 yards from rush last week...

Hard to rely on any Raider at this point and, it's a good matchup on paper although Tennessee is a run funnel defense.

ATM I have JCM and Etienne in my lineup.

JCM has to be a lock. Ridiculous matchup.

I know Etienne is going to get the touches and he's probably the safer floor, but for some reason I feel like Meyers is going to wake up this week. Feels like a get right game for LV/Geno/offense. And Bowers is out.

Could also play it, if you're a significant favorite, go Etienne. If need upside, go Meyers.

 

[kyoun1e]

Jones vs. Arizona

Stafford @ Baltimore

Watch the weather in this one.

N'oreaster coming up the coast. Could see a big Kyren game.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. Need two:

* C. Brown @GB -- Terrible matchup, but could be a PPR scam with Flacco checking down. Stats back that up with Flacco.

* M. Carter @Indy -- Murray in question. Not sure that matters. Terribly inefficient, but should get touches.

* T. Higgins @GB -- Gulp. Start two Bengals against GB D? Yuck. That said, Flacco may be able to prop up Higgins a tad more.

* J. Jennings @TB -- Good matchup. He's practiced on a limited basis. Seems on track to play. If the guy can avoid injury, probably will get his share of touches.

Which two?

Thanks.

I bench Zay without hesitation until Lamar gets back. The weather also may be ugly in Baltimore.

AJ>QJ>Zay

AJ did alright last night. No trip to the EZ, but a decent number of targets — that he actually did something with.

Both Flowers and Johnston are "Q" at the moment. Hoping the latter suits up if any.

 

[My_Bench_Scores_More]

Not so much a "Who should I start?" as it is a, "Should I start?" ....

Am I crazy for starting The Raiders D this week? I am considering of a couple of things...

One, they're coming off a humiliating week against Indy, and I feel like they might be on a redemption tour this weekend. Secondly, they're playing against the team that gives up the 2nd most points to Defenses this season.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

They're coming off two humiliating losses. If it was only one I would feel better about them but, they looks so bad right now.

It's a great matchup for sure, I'm somewhat considering them as a streaming option myself but, I don't have a bunch of confidence in them.

The Chargers did face Bowers, you might have heard of him, and held him to 5-38-0. Even so, I do like Waller's potential in Miami. He already looks to have become Tua's safety net. Especially around the GL. And the chargers kinda look like they have begun their annual implosion early.

I guess there is a concern with the SF WRs and, there is just no way to figure it out. They both put up big games with Mac. I guess we should look at which WR position each was playing in those two games (X, Y, LMNOP etc) and try to figure out which one will occupy that spot tomorrow. Logically that seems like it will be Jennings but, zero confidence in that. Particularly as it sounds like Jones is only marginally healthy. My guy says Bourne but, zero confidence in that either.

Interesting analysis about WR2s v the Jets but, I'm not sure that's a trend. Franklin looks like a reasonable bet for 6 targets any given week but, he seems to be more possession oriented. He's probably a safe floor option but, likely doesn't have the upside of Bourne/Jennings.

Waller>SF WR>Franklin>other SF WR

So maybe the safer play is

Waller>Franklin>SF Uncertainty

I do believe that Flacco will have a positive impact on the Bengals offense but, I am not sure how to measure it without seeing it. My best comp is Baker Mayfield going from Carolina to the Rams in 2022. He put up 230 & 1 in his first game (against the Raiders who make every backup QB look like Kurt Warner) but averaged only 170-0.8 in his five games with the Rams that season. Flacco has better offensive talent in Cinci than Baker did (Kupp was on IR and this was pre-Puka) but Baker>>>Flacco IMO.

Bottom line is, I take a wait and see approach with the Bengals 1) because Carter should see as much, or more volume than Brown and his bad efficiency is still better than Brown's so far and 2) I think Jennings has a better path to relevance this week than Higgins. I assume if Flacco locks in on anyone, it will be chase.

Carter>Jennings>Brown>Higgins

Need a final flex

R. Stevenson @ N.O.

K. Shakir @ Atl

I have no problem with either really. They seem similar. I think Rhamondre will see a few more opportunities with Gibson gone, he probably has a 10 opportunity floor and will likely be the back of choice near the goal line (for whatever reason Vrabel/McDaniels has conjured).

Shakir may be the mini WR1 for the Bills at this point. No one has seized that role so maybe he will see another 7-9 targets but, it is hard to predict with the Bills.

Pretty much a coin toss. I think I lean

Rhamondre>Shakir

Tucker Kraft v CIN

Good options.

Your TE options are great IMO. I can argue for any of them but, I think Njoku has the highest target ceiling by a good margin and, it's a neutral matchup. I like all three for TD opportunity but, that is tough to predict. Kraft has a great matchup but, I can also see that one turn into a Jacobs game and, even if it doesn't I find the GB WR/TE situation to be a whack-a-mole decision, you just don't know which one will pop their head up any given week.

Njoku>Kraft>Waller

The Lions are the #1 scoring team in the league and, tough matchup or not... they're still the #1 scoring offense in the league. I just have a lot of trouble betting against them.

If I were going to take the chance, being TE Premium it isn't crazy, even if it's difficult I probably start Kraft over Montgomery.

Just not sure I would do that in my lineup.

I stick with Dak in a 6pt TD league. It's a fine matchup and he has back to back 4 TD games (rush/pass). I also think his passing ceiling is probably greater than Maye's combined rush/pass ceiling.

Dak>Maye

The Lions do spread the ball around a bunch but, I'm still going to back the guy on the highest scoring offense in the league. Mason had a nice game but, he's strictly dink and dunk and I don't trust Fields for RZ passing. I think the Fannin experiment has been fading since week one.

I love Tucker's matchup but, hate everything else about his situation. After Carroll threw Chip Kelly under the bus this I expect the Raiders to try and run the ball 40 times against the Titans this week and see lots of quick timing throws. Feels more like a Jakobi game to me. But, Tre isn't a terrible option here IMO.

LaPorta>Tre>Taylor>Fannin

TE Question. PPR.

D. Kincaid has been my Kittle replacement, but he's questionable, plays on Monday Night, and is looking like a gametime decision per recent reports. That leaves me in a tough spot. So....

...do I pull the plug tmrw on Kincaid and go with:

* D. Njoku @PIT -- Statistically a good matchup, but PIT coming off bye and Tomlin facing a rookie QB...not great. Went 6-67-1 last week and finally awakened. Fannin also available.

* J. Tonges @TB -- Mac starting. Could be a shootout. Has scored a TD in consecutive games and went for 7-41-1 last week on 11 targets from Mac. TB D has given up 2 TDs to AJ Barner and Goedert in consecutive weeks. Jeesh. Note: This is a super flex league and I'm already starting M. Jones as my QB2.

Or, do I wait until Monday night and go with one of these options if Kincaid is ruled out:

* D. Knox @ ATL -- Would think his snaps increase if Kincaid is out, but probably a TD dependent option.

* C. Loveland @WASH -- He's questionable himself. May not even be active.

* C. Kmet @ WASH -- If Loveland out.

Thanks

You need two of these guys??? I'm sorry.

You understand there is really no way to parse between them. Usually, in this situation I defer to the matchups. The good news is that Flournoy has the hot hand and a great matchup. Whether that amounts to something... no idea. McCaffrey also has a great matchup and it looks like McLaurin has been ruled out.

But McCaffrey seems very low volume and TD dependent... I might consider Bond over him just because he had such a surprising week last week.

Bottom line is you this is a total coin toss.

Flournoy>Bond>McCaffrey>T.Johnson

 

[higgins]

TD-heavy-(dinosaur)-scoring system:

Stafford vs. BAL (Sunday) in a possibly rain-heavy game
-or-
Caleb W vs. WAS (MNF) in a possibly rain-heavy game

Gut feel is that, even without the rain, LAR will easily beat a defenseless BAL, and that it’s gonna be the Kyren/Corum show once LA is up.

CHI (off a bye) vs. WAS will likely be closer (shootout?) and Caleb will be tested (for better or for worse).

I’m heavily leaning Caleb but am open to dissenting opinions.

Or, do I wait until Monday night and go with one of these options if Kincaid is ruled out:

* D. Knox @ ATL -- Would think his snaps increase if Kincaid is out, but probably a TD dependent option.

* C. Loveland @WASH -- He's questionable himself. May not even be active.

* C. Kmet @ WASH -- If Loveland out.

Thanks

Njoku seems like a pretty clear safe floor with nice ceiling option. Frankly there is a question about if Kincaid or Njoku is the better option RoS. Make it a poll and I bet it'll be very close.

Tomlin wins against rookie QBs but, my guess is that is a bit of a misleading stat. Most veteran coaches probably have strong records against rookie QBs. And, winning games and shutting guys down entirely are different animals.

Tonges is interesting but, he flashed with Purdy and with Jones when both Pearsall & Jennings were out. With all the changeover in SF it's really hard to predict what will happen. Is Tonges with 5 targets a worthwhile start?

Njoku>Kincaid>MNF contingency

TD-heavy-(dinosaur)-scoring system:

Stafford vs. BAL (Sunday) in a possibly rain-heavy game
-or-
Caleb W vs. WAS (MNF) in a possibly rain-heavy game

Gut feel is that, even without the rain, LAR will easily beat a defenseless BAL, and that it’s gonna be the Kyren/Corum show once LA is up.

CHI (off a bye) vs. WAS will likely be closer (shootout?) and Caleb will be tested (for better or for worse).

I’m heavily leaning Caleb but am open to dissenting opinions.

I won't argue against Caleb. Ultimately, I think the Bears have a lesser run game and, a lesser defense so, more of the offense will likely run through Caleb than Stafford this week.

Caleb>Stafford

Right now Kincaid in lineup. Could change out to Breece Hall with his tougher matchup this morning or go with the risk. If Kincaid out, would have to switch to Luther Burden. The injury bug has really hurt this teams choices plus poor start for Barkley.

I'll start.

PPR and I need a flex

Kendre Miller @ NE
Hollywood Brown v Det

I think I need to start Hollywood because it's PPR and Miller may not consistently see 10-12 opportunities. But, Miller has looked very good in his opportunities.

I think Brown is right call in what looks like a massive shootout!

Agree, Brown all the way,

 

[djjosee]

.5 ppr

Swift @ Was
Sutton @ NYJ
Henry v LA
Allen @ Mia (assuming Q is out)
Dobbins @ NYJ

Need 2 ... leaning Dobbins and Allen and sitting Henry.

Thx
