I lean Wentz, he's been playing well and has a higher floor than Jones. It's a big home game and the Titans just came off two big home wins but I still see the Titans as a bipolar team. Either way I think this is a good game for Wentz.
Defense are ultimately random number generators.
Seals looks like the safer play and he has a bit of upside too. More targets and in on the injury report.
Note the injury report for the SF Defense
I don't like McKissic with your other options. Too much downside and you already have Gibson rolling.
I love Javonte, he looks like a hammer when I see him run and he can catch.
The easiest path here is to say I see Jamaal Williams as the odd man out. Zero impact since week 3, barely sees any action in the passing game. It may be a plus matchup but he doesn't appear to be a plus player.
Its very sad, especially since Robinson probably isn't the answer. I'd go Raymond, and hope Det/Phi gets high scoring.heckmanm said: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?)
I'd go Tua here. Teddy hasn't looked good for weeks, and I'm not sure getting Jeudy back is a cure all for that, or just muddles what little production there already is. Tua on the other hand, is coming off a 4 TD game, and will likely be chasing points. He also should get Parker back.rschroeder1 said:
This is probably a bold call, but I really like Smith against Detroit this week. He's been soooo close to some big weeks, and the Lions have a way of getting struggling players going.ignatiusjreilly said:
Williams/Higgins at WR. Just think they are better players in general, so the matchup doesn't sway me much for either. Nobody is more due for a nice game than Tee Higgins.Smack Tripper said:
I'd roll with Gainwell here. Collins is pretty banged up, and I could see Penny getting some more run as he gets healthier. I think Gainwell gets a crack at running away with the job in Sanders absence, but will be in danger of someone getting the hot hand if he starts slow. Ultimately, I think Philly scores more points, so I'll use that as a tiebreaker.
Man, I hate the idea of sitting Mixon against the NYJ, but I can't really argue him over Henderson or Kamara.
Jefferson is obviously a lock, and I think Waddle kind of is too. I'll go a little bold here, and say Lockett against a Jags defense that constantly gets beat deep. Jags got eaten alive their last game by a very similar WR in Waddle.
I just don't trust Gibson right now. I think Booker is a better play, and its mostly due to matchup.
Tough to argue against RSJ. He's too involved in the offense to sit for me. Freiermuth may have more upside, but its hard to see him higher than 4th in the pecking order behind Harris, Johnson, and Claypool. The latter of whom was in and out before the bye with a since healed hamstring injury.
I'd go Lockett and Shepard. I think NE tries to run it down the Chargers throat and shorten the game like the Ravens did, and Sheanult just seems so randomly used that he's tough to count on. I know Lockett hasn't really done anythijg with Geno, but the matchup couldn't be better.
Gainwell
I'd go Daniel Jones over Wentz. I his matchup more, and he also gives you the option of going Dak if he plays, which you should if does.
I think we all see the blowout looming for Cincinnati but they had three pretty easy wins against Pit, Det & Bal and Burrow threw three TDs in each game.
This is maybe the trickiest one yet. I think SF is the safe play, but I like the Steelers as an upside play. I think Mayfield 100% should not be playing, and will likely hurt the team by doing so. Steelers are coming off a bye week, and smell blood in the water. I could be crazy here, but I think this could be a real statement game for Pittsburgh.
I'd go Hilton as long as he's active. He seemed to be a featured part of the offense his last time on the field.
I think Toney is playing, and he's your best option. If you are dropping Hilton anyway, no reason not to grab Slayton as insurance.
I'd probably go Collins here. Similar timeshare issues, but a better matchup for Collins.
Miami with Brissett, and Miami with Tua are very different. I think Waddle is a must start among this group.
This is probably the easiest call of all these for me. Burrow, and its not close. Burrow is a legit QB1, and is has top-5 potential any given week. Winston is a low-end QB2, with no real weapons other than Kamara. Even if Burrow gets pulled early due to a blowout(no sure thing by the way) its likely he gets 2-3 TD's before that point.
Yes he does, start Daniel Jones. I like what DJ adds with his legs plus the match up is great.
I'm in the same situation with streaming defenses this week. For better or worse I'm going with Seattle. The injuries on that SF defense scared me off, as did road dog Steelers facing Chubb in the slop. Nagy missing the game is likely the best thing to happen to the Bears.
Thank you. Yeah, I think I'll go Burrow. He's the safer play. I could honestly see the NOS-TB game playing out a number of different ways, at least a couple of which involve Winston not having a great game. On the flipside, I think it's hard to imagine, even if it's a complete blowout, Burrow not throwing for at least 200 yards and a score or two. If that's his floor, I'll take it.
Thank you for basically reaffirming what my gut was telling me (while my head kept screaming "shootout between TB/NO"). Burrow has been solid, and there's no reason to think differently now.
We have a thing about nicknames in this thread, not a big deal as these are clear but still...you're doing it wrong.
Cooks and Shepard seem like obvious choices to me. They are both target sponges on their teams while Beasley is third fiddle at best in a game that will probably feature plenty of running by Buffalo.
Gaskin can catch a little, and he will probably need to if he is going to be relevant this week. Claypool is simply the better talent.
Jones. Teddy has been struggling of late, and Jeudy isn't going to fix everything. Jones should have Shepard and Toney back, and has a a better matchup in my opinion.
I'd actually sit Beasley. I think Knox being out could lead to Buffalo running more, and see Cooks getting 10 targets. Beasley may see 7+ targets, but unless he scores, he likely tops out at about 75-80 yards.
Even with Brown out, I still can't fully get on board with Gaskin over a guy like Claypool. I would bet the Steelers spent much of the bye week getting Ben and Claypool on the same page.
Toney and Jefferson would be my picks in the top one. Jefferson has soundly beaten D-Jax for the #3 job, and is heavily involved. I think he's got a good floor against Houston, with a good chance he gets a few deep shots.
I'd lean Sanders here. His role as the #2 has been solidified in Knox's absence, especially in the redzone.
Cooks and Carter would be my picks here. Carter was much more involved after the bye week, and should see plenty of garbage time work. Cooks targets keep him a decent start regardless of matchup.
Mooney for sure. Until I see something to suggest otherwise, beyond some glowing praise from Meyer, I don't see Agnew as any higher than 5th in the Jags pecking order. Mooney has become the Bears #1 WR, and while that isn't an even decent passing game, he's the much safer play.
Yeah, I'd start any QB over a committee RB. Go Mills and Darrell.
Yeah, I can support Gaskin here. He has a high ceiling if Buffalo gets an early lead. I like Carter as well, but Gaskin probably has a higher ceiling.
#1
This one is easy to go back and forth on.
Cooks for sure, without hesitation.
Mooney based on volume.
Unfortunately 100 yards and a TD are hardly a lock for Davis Mills. But in a super-flex I can see it.
I lean Collins then Gaskin.
I like your choices. Jefferson is obviously a wild card but Boyd has done very little so far to justify being in your lineup.
