Week 9 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (2 Viewers)

Qb conundrums


6 pt TDs
Rodgers vs Indy
Mac Jones at NYG

Mac Jones is a strong start this week IMO.

Giants are without both starting Cb's, one of their backups and a starting S so they'll be starting a backup CB and S and a third string CB.

 

[urbanhack]

I need to bench one of these: - PPR - bonus for long TDs. (Starting C. Williams at QB2 in super flex)

Jamo vs. Vikings
Kittle @ NYG
Warren @ Pitt
Odunze @ Cinncy

 

[Barksdale]

0.5 PPR: T.McMillan or J. Addison?

 

[Chaka]

0.5 PPR

Flex, pick one:

Dobbins at Texans
Boutte vs Atlanta

I'm with Dobbins here. Boutte is on fire finding the end zone and, he is a fine start over Dobbins.

But, Dobbins is going to see 15 touches and, he's been playing lights out all year.

I don't believe Payton is intentionally keeping him away from the end zone, he just loves to over scheme near the GL. Always has.

My expectation is regression to the TD mean for both players.

Again, Boutte is a fine start but, for me

Dobbins>Boutte

 

[Chaka]

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

I like Harvey's combo of likely usage, team quality and upside more than the others.

Harvey>Smith>Tuten

Qb conundrums

4 pt TDs
Flacco vs Chi
Nix at Hou

6 pt TDs
Flacco vs Chi
Brissett at Dal

6 pt TDs
Rodgers vs Indy
Mac Jones at NYG

Nix>Flacco>Rodgers>Jones>Brissett

 

[Chaka]

Ok, Sunday morning last calls now that we know active/inactives and what has happened during the week:

Non-PPR Scoring:

Pick 1
Chase Brown, Jalen Warren or Etienne?

Pick 1
Tee Higgins, Deebo or Olave

With Flacco starting

Brown>ETN>Warren
===================

I like Tee because of the matchup but, Deebo is a fine choice if your leaning that way
Need to see Shough more and,.it's a brutal matchup so, not Olave for me.

Tee>Deebo>Olave

 

[Chaka]

I need to bench one of these: - PPR - bonus for long TDs. (Starting C. Williams at QB2 in super flex)

Jamo vs. Vikings
Kittle @ NYG
Warren @ Pitt
Odunze @ Cinncy

I worry that, until Pearsall and Purdy are back, Kittle may be more of a blocker. So that's probably who I would bench.

 

[Rubi]

0.5 PPR: T.McMillan or J. Addison?

McMillan

 

[Chaka]

0.5 PPR: T.McMillan or J. Addison?

I think Addison is on the better team and the Vikes should score more than the Panthers.

Addison>Tet

I also have Monongai - So that’s three bears in my line up and big risk if they **** the bed today. Otherwise…agreed

Yeah, that always makes me nervous but, I believe if you think player A>player B then start player A regardless.

I suggest not watching the Bears/Bengals game today.

 

[Chaka]

I really like Dowdle but, I have been fading him this week because of the matchup.

I always worry when I fade a given player a lot any given week. It usually indicates I am overcompensating.

Dowdle making me pay learn that lesson, again.

Apologies to everyone who listened to me

 

[zeke2222]

need Flex PPR

Deebo vs Sea
Ferguson vs Ariz
Tory Horton @ Wash

 

[Chaka]

need Flex PPR

Deebo vs Sea
Ferguson vs Ariz
Tory Horton @ Wash

I would go with Deebo because he's the only #1 option. I might consider Ferguson because when the Cowboys are on they end up running a lot of plays and putting up lots of points. He's a good option but, his floor is low now that CeeDee is back and Pickens has emerged.

Horton is a spec play. He could be good but, I wouldn't want to rely on that.

Deebo>Ferguson>Horton

Might want to wait until the outcome before thanking me.

Couple big misses today.

0.5 PPR

Flex, pick one:

Dobbins at Texans
Boutte vs Atlanta

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.

Thank y'all. Played Dobbins and that was the right call. Going to take a miracle to dig out from under what Bowers did today though.
