Week 8 who should I start thread **OFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

[Chaka]

Lost Adams. Need a WR in half PPR. 

Kirk, Shenault, Meyers or AJ Green. Thanks!

Okay. AJ seems pretty TD dependent. Maxes out at six targets apparently.

Kirk is similar but has had 4 of 7 plus games. He and AJ vulture each other though so gun to my head Kirk between those two.

Can't recommend Meyers ATM. Before week 5 he would have been my call but, not only have his targets declined but he apparently is allergic to the end zone.

Pretty much the same read for Shenault as Meyers.

By a hair Kirk>AJ but really it's a coin toss.

 

[Chaka]

I have seen him most places 35-42 range but think most didn't update, another place had him Solid WR 3 this week, he would become my Flex by Sunday most likely with guys in my front line like AJB, Kupp, etc...just gauging how big a night you think he is set for. I still think 5/65 would be a decent night for him but someone has to catch TDs, Rodgers is not going to go quietly into the night when he has a chance to wear the Superman cape tonight, this game is almost tailor made for him, nothing will surprise me. 

I have trouble projecting him but I absolutely agree that he is a high floor guy this week.

My guess is Rodgers intends to feed him all night long (double digit targets are very possible) and, despite seeing WR1 coverage and defensive schemes he will catch enough of them to have value.

I think he can still be slippery enough to be useful in the red zone but it would take a lot going right (or wrong if you're Arizona) for him to hit something from 40+

5 for 65 is easily I'm his grasp. He is absolutely in the conversation for a flex play or even a WR2 depending on your roster. Hell, after the campaigning Rodgers did to get him I wouldn't be surprised to see him finish top 12 this week.

 

[ffmail4me]

PPR scoring, who would you start at flex between: Sutton vs Washington, Gibson @ Broncos, or Claypool @ Browns  

and same league at TE start Gesicki @ Bills  OR Schultz @ Vikings

 

[Chaka]

I think 1 catch for 7 yards on 2 targets in the first half is what we had in mind, right @Ministry of Pain?

 

[jobarules]

So with Dak possibly being out I have to pickup a QB. Choices aren't great:

Ryan vs CAR

Darnold VS ATL

Winston vs TB

Lawrence vs SEA

Bridgewater vs WAS

Darnold, Winston, and Bridge all have great matchups but hard to trust them. Probably trust Bridge with all his WR weapons back in a sneaky shootout.

Ryan is solid but not crazy about the matchup and I'm already starting CPat and Ridley. Too many eggs.

Lawrence has great matchup and playing better lately.

So I think I've settled between Lawrence and Bridgewater. Leaning Lawrence at the moment.

4pts per pass TD

If it helps, I'm playing the highest scoring team so I need upside more than safety.

Pretty much excellent options across the board.

As much as I don't like benching a RB of Gibson's caliber you have to seriously consider Sutton. WFT has been getting torched by opposing passing games all year.

Jeudy coming back is a concern because Den really hasn't been a prolific offense and the pie just got smaller. But maybe a guy like Jeudy opens up the offense a bit.

Sutton (with some reservations)>Gibson>Claypool

Both Minnesota and Buffalo have been pretty stingy vs TEs. Geisiki gets slightly more volume on Shultz too. It's an easy call if Dak is out but if Dak plays it's a different story.

With Dak Shultz>Geisiki

No Dak Geisiki>>>>>Shultz

I think I like Bridgewater here. Seattle has given up a lot of fantasy points to QBs but a surprisingly large amount of that came on a very fluky play by Trey Lance.

Washington has simply been torched by every QB they have faced except, surprisingly Herbert.

Getting Jeudy back should help too and the Denver D is hurting a bit too.

Bridgewater>Lawrence

ETA: @jobarules You may want to follow Bridgewater's status, I think he was limited yesterday. He's a tough guy and will clearly gut it out but he's also pretty clearly hurting.  I still like him over Lawrence but if Bridgewater is out I probably pivot to Ryan over Lawrence too. I do like Lawrence but I get the gut feeling that the Atl passing game is starting to come together.

 

[heckmanm]

0.5 PPR for WR, 1.0 PPR for TE: Robinson, K Raymond or Tyler Conklin?

(How far has Robinson fallen that it's even a question? )

 

[greedygoat]

0.5 PPR for WR, 1.0 PPR for TE: Robinson, K Raymond or Tyler Conklin?

I'm about to drop Robinson altogether for Raymond and start Raymond in my flex over Elijah Mitchell.

 

[heckmanm]

I'm about to drop Robinson altogether for Raymond and start Raymond in my flex over Elijah Mitchell.

Mine is a salary cap dynasty, so I'm holding for now, but he was starting to get expensive (salaries increase each year based on positional rank) so I may not bring him back next year unless I see signs of life.

 

[rschroeder1]

My QB options this week are:

Teddy Bridgewater vs. WFT
Tua Tagovailoa at BUF

Currently have Bridgewater slotted in for now, but I'm wondering if I'm parsing too much here.  Obviously the BUF matchup isn't great for TUA.  The reason I'm asking is I am short one roster spot for a move I'd like to make.  I appreciate anyone's insights here.

 

[Chaka]

(How far has Robinson fallen that it's even a question? )

At this point Robinson should be on all benches. He will eventually burn you from that spot but he is burning you regularly whenever he is in your lineup.

Philly has been pretty tough on opposing WRs for the most part. Tyreek embarrassed them and Carr picked them apart but Tyreek>>>Raymond & Carr>>>Goff However you gotta like this kid. He was getting opportunities before Cephus went on IR and he has been reasonably productive.

Look the bottom line is there isn't a logical way to parse between Raymond & Conklin. I don't think Dak's presence changes his role appreciably. The question is really if this is going to be a week where he falls into the endzone? I have no idea.

I probably go Raymond>Conklin mostly because 1) Raymond is performing slightly better & 2) It's more fun to root for Raymond.

If salaries increase by positional rank then A.Rob will be cutting you a check this off-season.

Teddy Bridgewater vs. WFT
Tua Tagovailoa at BUF

Tua has thrown the ball almost 45 times/game over the past two and had solid end of game numbers. No shame in rolling him out in a very tough matchup where he will very likely have to throw a ton to keep up.

Bridgewater is playing hurt, I think the latest is a strain in his side, but he's tough and is probably going to play.  He has thrown the ball 40 times per game over the last three (would have been four but he got hurt against the Ravens), but those were games where Denver was pretty much getting rolled. The Cleveland game was never as close as the final score. I would expect Denver to play a closer game against WFT and try to lean on the running game a lot more.

HOWEVER look at the season long numbers the WFT have given up to opposing passing fantasy QBs Hebert 8 (surprisingly), D.Jones 21, Allen 30, Ryan 24, Winston 25, Mahomes 16, Rodgers 19. They have been a treasure trove of high floor, high ceiling QB performance.  To be fair Bridgewater is not in the class of most of those QBs but he is a good QB and has finally his full compliment of WRs. Tua has Waddle & Geisiki and not much else.

Tough call 1) better game script, tougher opponent, road game, few weapons vs 2) maybe not a great game script, easier opponent, home game, all weapons?

I lean Bridgewater>Tua but it's close.

 

[BobbyLayne]

File this under no need to overthink it:

Starters Najee @ CLE / Swift v PHI / Herbert v SF

Bench Javonte v WFT / Carter v CIN / Pollard @ MIN / McKissic @ DEN

Looks like the chalk play to me. Definitely looks good on volume alone. 

Am I missing anything? Any compelling arguments for the UNC rookies or the backups? FYI Gibson practiced today.

(I KNOW, it's not really a debate, but I'm playing our #1 seed and he had Aaron Jones & Cobb going last night....need the best upside lineup I can put out there.)

I don't think you're missing anything there.  You could maybe, possibly consider Javonte at home vs a vulnerable WFT under the premise that Damien Williams didn't see a lot of action v TB because he missed the entire week of practice.  But I think it's equally possible that Herbert simply seized the Montgomery role until Montgomery comes back.

I think you got it right. Although it wouldnt shock me if Pollard has a good game. I still wouldnt change what you have

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Looking like Toney is going to play Monday night. If he does, would you play him vs KC in a non-PPR over ESanders (vs Miami) or DSmith (vs Detroit)?

I wouldn't. Not after what happened during the Rams game.

I have no idea about the reality on the ground but it feels like he is rushing back again.

 

[Chaka]

Apparently Jeudy did not practice today due to ankle soreness after practicing the past three days.  He is still on IR ATM.

 

[tigerz]

Looking like Toney is going to play Monday night. If he does, would you play him vs KC in a non-PPR over ESanders (vs Miami) or DSmith (vs Detroit)?

No chance over E. Sanders. I haven't been following D. Smith as much since beginning of the year but I'd have to think even with Hurts sucking he has to have a higher floor, especially with Lions being 24th in FP allowed to WRs. Late game makes me want to play safe with DSmith. Then again Toney had like 3 catches for 36 yards in one drive so even if he gets pulled maybe he has a decent floor. Sky is the limit too for him.

PPR  Pick 2

Mike Williams

Emannauel Sanders

Waddle

Higgins

also PPR pick 2

Hubbard

Mitchell

Herbert

I have not heard anything about Mike Williams health so he seems like an obvious must start to me.

I think the other choice is a lot tougher. It's a question of game script vs quality of opponent.

Waddle should be used heavily, even if Devante Parker comes back but Buffalo is #1 pass D in the NFL.

Sanders is facing one of the worst pass Ds and he's the most efficient of these options, which is good because he sees the fewest targets.

Higgins is also facing a terrible defense and, even better he saw 15 targets at Baltimore in a blowout. Unfortunately he didn't do much with all those targets.

Gotta be honest I'm at a loss here. Usually writing these things out I formulate pretty strong opinions. I have gone back and forth on all three and am exactly where I started.

Take a six sided die, assign two numbers to each player, throw the die high in the air, like flipping a coin. When the die is in the air your mind suddenly focus on what number you want it to land on. Choose that guy. And if your mind doesn't tell you while the die is in the air, go with whichever number it lands on.

Sorry, that's the best I can do. BTW I think I like Sanders.

#2

For me definitely Herbert. Home game, decent matchup and I think he has seized the Montgomery role until Montgomery gets back.

While I really have no interest in starting Chubba I can think of three reasons to consider it 1) most important it's PPR and Mitchell doesn't seem to be a huge factor in the passing game, while Hubbard is 2) diversify your team because that's kinda more fun 3) Who doesn't live saying Chuba Hubbard oh and 4) also important, no Shanahanigans 

Hubbard>Mitchell pretty strongly.

Ha this is about where I'm falling

Leaning sanders

and like the idea of not being too much in one game... but the Chubba factor that concerns me is Darnold

Darnold is absolutely a concern but IMO Rule knows the best way to get Darnold rolling is to get Chubba rolling.

If it was a standard league I would probably lean Mitchell but PPR swings it to Chubba IMHO

 

[Judge Smails]

My second tough call is at WR/TE (which are a combined position in my league)

Who do I bench?

Stefon Diggs v Mia

AJ Brown @ Indy

Mike Williams v NE

Kyle Pitts v Car

This is a super-flex league and my QBs are Josh Allen & Justin Herbert, that influences my decisions YMMV.

Right now I have Diggs, AJ & Williams in my lineup. 

Wow. You have first world problems.   Hard to bench any of them but I’d probably have Williams out believe it or not

 

[Judge Smails]

I need three from this list of B rated WR's in a 1ppr league

Jamal Agnew v Sea-- big play potential

Brandon Aiyuk v Chi-- is Deebo a little hurt so Aiyuk might get more attention?

Kalif Raymond v Phi-- looks like Goof's favorite wr target

Marquez Callaway v TB-- can he burn this putrid pass d for any long gains?

Or could pick up St. Brown--GB and put him in tonight

Help

TIA

I’m taking a shot on Callaway.  NO will throw 45 times 

 

[djjosee]

Flex / Standard:

A Collins vs Jax

K Gainswell @ Det

AND

Cousins vs Dal

D Jones @KC

 

[Dark Matter]

Non PPR-pick 2

Kamara v TB

Henderson v HOU

Mixon v NYJ

Never bench your studs and all that...Leaning Kamara & Henderson but have gone back & forth with Mixon/Henderson. 

 

[Chaka]

Flex / Standard:

A Collins vs Jax

K Gainswell @ Det

AND

Cousins vs Dal

D Jones @KC

Since it's a standard league I think Collins may be the right call but let's parse it out.

Collins is getting around 18 opportunities fairly consistently since he became the starter, even though he really isn't part of the passing game.

His upside is TD dependent, as are most players in standard formats. He should get goal line shots but without receiving as part of his game the shot at a longer TD needs a lot more to go right than it would for a more dynamic player.

Gainwell appears to have that dynamic dimension to his game that Collins lacks. If this was PPR I would absolutely recommend him. But it's not and we still have no idea how Siriani will deploy him. It is fair to assume Gainwell will get closer to the 13 opportunities he had last week, which is well above the 7ish he was receiving in his previous six games. But will he exceed that? Is there any chance he gets to the 18 opportunities we can expect for Collins? No idea.

Since Collins & Gainwell face similarly weak opponents the question, in my mind, becomes can Gainwell do more with 13 opportunities than Collins will with 18 opportunities?

My lizard brain is, very surprisingly telling me yes. It's a bigger risk as Collins is the high floor play.

Gainwell>Collins

If Dak was playing for sure I would say Cousins all day long. Even if Rush starts the Dallas D will make it tough for Minnesota to try and grind out a run heavy, keep the clock moving game plan.

Cousins has a much higher floor than Jones and this season Jones has not demonstrated he has any bigger upside potential either. 

Choosing right now for me Cousins>>Jones

Since you may have the luxury of a Sunday night decision you will have more information. So if you're down big and Dak isn't playing then you might want to pivot to Jones and cross your fingers that Kadarius plays, Engram hasn't checked out with the trade talk and KC doesn't do to the Giants what Tennessee did to KC.

Otherwise Cousins is clearly the smart play IMO

 

[Chaka]

Non PPR-pick 2

Kamara v TB

Henderson v HOU

Mixon v NYJ

Never bench your studs and all that...Leaning Kamara & Henderson but have gone back & forth with Mixon/Henderson. 

 If this were PPR then unquestionably Kamara and probably Henderson but it's not.

I despise the thought of benching Kamara. He's one of the top 4 RBs in the game (IRL & Magic Football) at home, they seem to play very well against the Brady led Bucs (with Drew Brees) and any hope they have runs through him. Will Jameis show up in a revenge game?

Henderson & Mixon have what appears to be blowouts looming. The Bengals and Rams should grind the Jets & Texans into paste by halftime with Mixon & Henderson leading the way, right? Right?

But they also seem very likely to get some early rest making another 12-60-1 stat line very possible.

The Rams have pretty much crushed three opponents; Bears, Bucs & Giants and in those three games the lead back was heavily utilized with averaging 23 opportunities, the lowest was 17 for 87 yards & a score.

Cincinnati has also had three relatively easy win and Mixon had 55 opportunities among them with his worst line being 12-59-1 so there is a little more variance with Mixon than Henderson.

Kamara otoh has had 24, 14, 28, 26, 24 & 31 opportunities. That Carolina game looks more like a fluke every week. The only very minor concern is that 14 opportunity game was also the only time they were blown out. 

You really need to roll with your gut on this one mine says

Kamara>Henderson>Mixon

Pick 3 WR - Full PPR
Justin Jefferson vs Cowboys
Jaylen Waddle at Bills
Emmanuel Sanders vs Dolphins
Tyler Lockett vs Jaguars
Jerry Jeudy vs Footballs (assuming activated off IR)
Kadarius Toney at Chiefs

I do have Daniel Jones on my bench, so if Toney was inactive I could pick up either Darius Slayton, Evan Engram or Byron Pringle to go in that spot at game time
Thanks in advance

 

[Dacomish]

Half PPR for RB:

Start A.Gibson Vs Denver 

or 

Start D.Booker Vs KC

I really am at a crossroads here, both seem close in most rankings. I'm worried about Gibson's shin but with a Wed practice and no injury designation for the first time in a while, is he closer to full health? 

Booker is facing a defense that seems to struggle to stop most RB's, If Barkley was playing then this would be a no brainer, but Is ruled out and Booker produced last week. Can he strike lightning in a bottle 2 weeks on the bounce?

Jefferson, Waddle & Sanders for me pretty easily.

Can't trust Lockett until Wilson comes back. Jeudy was DNP yesterday because he overdid it the previous few days and he hasn't been activated from IR yet. I love Toney and I saw the video of the one jumping catch he made in his thread but that just isn't going to work for me. I need to see him make it through a game before I consider him in my lineup.  You have very good options, all of whom have demonstrated high floors & ceiling.  

The only Toney scenario I see for you is if your down bit before kickoff on Sunday and Dak is ruled out. Then maybe, possibly, I can see swinging for the fences with Toney but it's such a flyer and I have no reason to believe regardless of who the Cowboys QB is that Toney has more upside than Justin Jefferson.

This strikes me as a go with your gut situation. Booker will probably get you 60 or so yards with maybe 3 catches and some shot at a TD.

Gibson may be a dud on the road possibly still recovering. But I think Gibson is simply the better player, the Denver defense is hurting and the team is reeling.  Gibson seems like as good a play as any.

My pure gut call is Gibson>Booker

That's literally what I'm thinking, so much has been made of the last 3 Denver games and teams running on them, maybe WFT can do the same this week. Everyone seems down on Gibson and I just have this feeling he has a little breakout type performance, maybe a long TD run. Cheers Chaka!

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. Need a one week TE rental with M. Andrews out.

* R. Seals-Jones @DEN -- Full time TE in on all the snaps. Universally ranked as the highest flyer of the week (top 12ish). However, the DEN matchup isn't good. Held decent TEs in check including Andrews. Not many receiving options for Heinecke to throw to though.

* P. Freiermuth @CLE -- Ebron out. Looks to be coming on. Getting JuJu touches.

Note: I'm favored to win by apprx. 20 points.

Which TE?

Thanks

 

[RenegadeRoy]

My QB options this week are:

Teddy Bridgewater vs. WFT
Tua Tagovailoa at BUF

Currently have Bridgewater slotted in for now, but I'm wondering if I'm parsing too much here.  Obviously the BUF matchup isn't great for TUA.  The reason I'm asking is I am short one roster spot for a move I'd like to make.  I appreciate anyone's insights here.

Chaka had the solid breakdown and I agree with his analysis. 

Teddy is the play here. I think the Bills blowout MIA, so there might be some garbagio time for Tua but that's tough to bank on.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Flex / Standard:

A Collins vs Jax

K Gainswell @ Det

AND

Cousins vs Dal

D Jones @KC

Since it's standard I'm leaning Gainwell for the first one. I don't trust the Seattle offense at this point... even if it's against JAX.

The QB one is tough. Dal D is pretty hot right now, and Diggs is gonna Diggs. I like Cousins over Jones in a vacuum but the KC D is putrid, and NYG is starting to get their weapons back (Toney and Shepard both looking good to go). So I'd go Jones against KC.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Half PPR for RB:

or

Lol I'm running both of these guys this weekend (Gibson in rb/Booker in flex).

Gibson has been incredibly frustrating to own this year. I do not believe he is as healthy as the injury report says (that's just not how stress fractures work...). If I had to pick one, I think I'd roll with Booker, honestly.

RSJ for me. Just feels like more a part of the offense with WFT.

.5ppr/.5 pp first down

Need a WR2 from this mix:

Lockett v JAX
Jakobi v Chargers
Shenault v SEA
Shepard v KC

Shepard is a target sponge for Jones, in any type of PPR format he is a must start from this list.

The next one is tougher safe floor call is probably Shenault or Meyer (although he's cooled off) or you hope that Lockett breaks one off.

I almost always side with talent, Lockett IMO, but I think Shenault...maybe?

PPR league. Need a one week TE rental with M. Andrews out.

* R. Seals-Jones @DEN -- Full time TE in on all the snaps. Universally ranked as the highest flyer of the week (top 12ish). However, the DEN matchup isn't good. Held decent TEs in check including Andrews. Not many receiving options for Heinecke to throw to though.

* P. Freiermuth @CLE -- Ebron out. Looks to be coming on. Getting JuJu touches.

Note: I'm favored to win by apprx. 20 points.

Which TE?

Thanks

In a PPR Seals is probably the play because his targets are marginally more consistent.

Freirmuth has definitely been more efficient, 18 catches on 20 targets so under the theory that no Ebron + no JuJu = bump Freirmuth...then maybe?

Gut call is Seals>Freirmuth but it's absolutely a pick 'em.

Jones vs KC or Wentz vs TEN as a potential Dak replacement?

Dak is looking like a GTD so Jones is nice cause he plays Monday. Or I could just go with Wentz and forget about it

I am playing Wentz over Jones fwiw.

In PPR I like both Gainwell & Johnson over Collins.

Between the two DJ is very interesting. Lindsay has out carried DJ but DJ is better with his carries and is unquestionably the receiving back. With Ingram gone you have to imagine he starts and sees an increase in carries.

I have no idea how to predict Gainwell. He has a better chance of finding the end zone and should see an increase in touches. But I simply don't trust Siriani.

DJ>Gainwell

Allen Robinson stays on the bench until he proves he deserves to be off the bench. He will eventually burn you from there but he's been burning you in the lineup all season.

Slayton>ARob
