Shaheed if he plays
If not probably Washington for me
The Kerminator
Footballguy
PPR league
Christian Watson or Tet McMillan?

Bam has the highest floor
Worthy has the highest ceiling
As much as I hate to say this being a Cowboys fan, I would pick Bam or any other player starting against that Dallas D.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Right now I have Bam in. Feels like a smash start. He’s getting the start and should get GL.
I don’t love BUF pass D.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I don’t mind that call.
Tet for Tet
PPR League. Need two of these three:
* A. Pierce @PIT -- PIT secondary getting torched. Pierce could get deep but targets are few.
* P. Washington @LV -- Good matchup. He's probably #2 behind B. Thomas after Hunter injury.
* T. Horton @WASH -- Another good matchup. C. Kupp is being reported as likely out. Could be Horton's coming out party. That said, zero catches last two games and it seems like it's JSN or bust in that offense.
Which 2?
Thanks

I'd go Jameson.
I don't trust McDaniels with T. Jennings in the mix and D'Earnest Johnson being elevated.
Monangai for sure.
Monangai
Bam could do quite well, but Carter and Demercardo are both in the mix. Monangai has less competition for touches.

If Flacco starts I think I go with the Brown. Denver still has a good defense without Surtain and the Bengals O, and Brown, look worlds better since Flacco got there.
Brown>Nico
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
All solid options. I’d wait to make sure Flacco is playing - if he’s out, London/Adams are the easy call.
Actually with .5 PPR for RB, that’s my call anyway. Much as I like Brown, the WRs in this format are the no-brainers.

In PPR give me Washington because he is already a relevant part of the offense and now he should see a bigger role
Like Shahid too but, hate the matchup and unsure about Shough.
Washington>Shahid>coin toss
WWYD? PPR w/ playoffs Weeks 16-18. We start 3WR and a TE/WR flex. Autodraft was not kind to me re: wide receivers and gave me DJ Moore, Travis Hunter (using in an IDP slot), Deebo, and Cooper Kupp. I dropped Kupp to pick up Ricky Pearsall on WW, and have since added Elic Ayomanor, Jalen Coker, and Tez Johnson.
Garret Wilson is on the waiver wire this week. He's an insta-grab, right? ROS rankings have Coker ranked lowest and I wonder if I'll ever see Pearsall play this season. Who would you give up if any?
Thank you!

JAMO!!!!
It's the upside vs opportunity question. Personally I lean with upside and hope for a high scoring game.
Worthy>Bam

Watson is a tough call because it's still a crowded group of pass catchers and the Pack should roll this week so Jacobs is the likely beneficiary. Watson looked great but, only got 4 targets and played 56% of the snaps.
Since it's PPR, I think Tet will get plenty of targets and has a reasonable floor.

Personally I start KWIII over Tennessee's flavor of the week. I just don't see the upside in the Titans passing game.
Chaka
Footballguy
Full PPR, I probably lean Gadsden, I worry the Chargers offense will pivot to other receivers any given week but, he's been on a roll.
Gadsden>Jamo
Damn, missed my week 9 question. Weak roster requires a choice between Ayomanor vs Chargers and Coker @ GB. Coker's matchup appears better, but am leaning Elic
Chaka
Footballguy
I start Washington because of perceived opportunities.
Between the others... I probably bench Horton
Pierce is the big play option here and I don't trust either for usage.
But, it's a coin toss.
Washington>Pierce>Horton
Chaka
Footballguy
If Flacco starts I bench London pretty easy here. He has a lesser QB, so far, and a much tougher matchup.
Brown>Davante>London
Yes I'd have to sit Horton in this trio as I don't think he'll hear enough Who's to be relevant
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I’m not sure what Kanye sweet would do, but I’d definitely scoop up GW. Coker is probably the drop.
Chaka
Footballguy
I would definitely grab him and drop either Coker or Ayomanor. Probably Coker but,.it's a coin toss for me.
Chaka
Footballguy
I lean Ayomanor too. They're both bad options but Ayomanor has seen decent target share before. That's all I got.
Ayomanor>Coker

0.5 PPR
Flex, pick one:
Dobbins at Texans
Boutte vs Atlanta
Flex, pick one:
Dobbins at Texans
Boutte vs Atlanta
Close
Maybe shake your Boutte in what should be a higher scoring game
Drake Hater
Footballguy
I'm leaning that way. Dobbins is having a good season but lack of TDs these last 5 games has hurt. Regression may hit but not sure it's this week.
Also, I'm starting Maye at QB. Opponent is starting Diggs...not sure statistically if that matters but stack potential may be worth something?
I've never been a "stacker"
If I think another player is going to score 1 more point than a receiver who's quarterback I'm starting,I play the other receiver
It can work for sure,but I don't do it intentionally

Dobbins. Both matchups are awful. Dobbins more sure to get touches. And this could just be a super ugly game with two great defenses--setting the stage for a lot of rushing attempts.
I know Boutte has been getting in the endzone the last 3 weeks, but when that falls off, he may have a disappointing day--and we're due for a Diggs or Hunter Henry day.

Tight matchup so I’d take Kamara’s “normal” floor… but that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

On this episode of "My Terrible Fantasy Team", who to start at RB2:
RJ Harvey v. HOU
Brashard Smith v. BUF
Bhayshul Tuten v. LV
RJ Harvey v. HOU
Brashard Smith v. BUF
Bhayshul Tuten v. LV

I *think* Smith.
I assume with Pacheco out, Smith gets some actual touches.
Harvey had the 3 TD's last week, but at one point he had 3 TD's on 6 touches. He finished with 8 touches. And it's just a brutal matchup this week vs Houston.
Smith gets Buffalo, who gives up the 5th most FPPG to RB.
I'm going to take a chance on Harvey in this group
I can see one big splash play giving him the edge

I'm benching Nix if I have a decent alternative. Flacco gets a plus matchup vs Chicago.
2nd one is very close. In a vacuum, it's probably a coin flip. Flacco has a sore AC joint and a hit could aggravate that to the point of sitting out. It's not a major concern, but we're splitting hairs to choose a winner in a close situation. And then it can be good/wise to diversify. Brissett has the ultimate matchup of Dallas's secondary. I think go Brissett here.
Last one: Rodgers. After the 49ers beat Atlanta 2 weeks ago--the players were saying in the post game presser: "Coach said this was going to be a CMC game." CMC had 31 touches. Mac Jones had 24 pass attempts. I fully expect another CMC game vs an NYG team that has lost it's two best playmakers, and SF likely doesn't have to score a ton. It's entirely possible SF lights it up through the air early, but I would worry they're able to replicate the ATL game and burn you.
We know Indy is going to put up points. I fully expect that game to be more of a higih scoring affair, even though the o/u is only 3 points higher.
