Who is the “worst” player you’re forced to start this week? (1 Viewer)

[efactor]

Juju or Jayden Reed depending on who I put in the flex.

 

[rockaction]

Rice was the only guy out there who looked like he knew WTF he was doing.

Yes, and it was noticeable how he looked out there compared to the others. Problem is that it's hard to trust a rookie to beat zones all the time. He's also got a pretty bad college drop rate and has continued that in the preseason.

Don't get me wrong. I just took him at 2.6 of a rookie draft in another league I'm doing so I hope he's outstanding, but those things are cold water on a parade.

Dynasty, I challenge anyone to have a worse WR group. Or total lineup.

Yeah, It’s a rebuild and I’m trying to trade Watt.

 

[-OZ-]

Dynasty where I’m competing - Kupp out, Evans in. If Andrews and Waller are out I’ll start Everett.

 

[Uncle Leo]

OBJ is predicted to net the lowest points on my team. I think he goes off for 100+ and 2 TDs. Not joking either.

 

[rockaction]

I think he goes off for 100+ and 2 TDs

From your lips to God's ears -- make it rain money.

 

[efactor]

Watch him turn it around and stick it in my eye for the next five years or so.

Rice was the only guy out there who looked like he knew WTF he was doing.

That includes Andy Reid who dialed up exactly (checks notes) 1 pass play for McKinnon. WTF Andy.

Yeah, was really surprised about the lack of McKinnon involvement with Kelce out. 2 targets for McKinnon? WTF? I had him in for Taylor this week and while I wasn’t expecting the 30 point type game he put up at the end of last season, I figured a 12-15 point game was in the cards with 5-6 catches. But a big part of why they lost too. Even top coaches have bad games I guess.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

12-team redraft: Rashee Rice. We drafted on Thursday night and are allowed to start people from the Thu game if we declare it before Sunday. There’s no guarantee that anyone else I’d consider for the second flex spot would do better than him so I locked in his numbers.

10-team 4-keeper auction: Okonkwo. Most weeks I will start Muth but not against SF.

14-team redraft: Muth.

Etienne. I suck at this game

If Etienne is your worst player, you’re doing pretty well my friend.

just had to come in and brag. Being dynasty, of course it's more feasible to field a very good lineup when you're in a built up year, as opposed to redraft. And it's a fairly short lineup, only 6 total offensive players. But yes on paper I feel good.

Honestly I think David Kontgomery is my worst player behind ETN in my 12-team full “scorched earth” rebuild.

David ****gomery is a pretty good worst player. Hard to imagine it's a rebuild.

 

[Mojo56]

I picked up Higbee to replace Kelce. Luckily for me it's a 10 team league with only 4 bench spots so the free agent wire is well stocked. I took Higbee over Everett and Okonkwo.

 

[Ilov80s]

Brandin Cooks to replace Cooper Kupp

 

[Gold Fox]

KT… but no one “forced me”. It made sense at the time (to me). If you were to tell me before the game that Toney would be targeted on 45% of routes run, I still would have done it.

 

[BoltNlava]

another vote for "Cement Hands " Toney.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rebuilt.

 

[Weebs210]

Skyy Moore*pulls trigger*

Ok but if I’d asked this before TNF, what would your answer have been?

Darius Slayton or EZ Elliott

16 teamer picking 11.

 

[TripItUp]

12 team dynasty - Pickens

10 team redraft - Pickens or Chig

12 team PPR auction - Gibson or Mostert

 

[Lansdowne]

Forced to start? The answer is always the kicker. In my case, Dicker the Kicker.

Not counting that, I was forced to start Pacheco when Walker was listed as questionable earlier in the day. I didn’t want to risk having no one in the late afternoon session to replace Walker, so I sat him for Pacheco. Got a measly 5 points for my troubles. And now with Stevenson questionable with a stomach bug, and Walker’s questionable tag removed, I got those two swapped now. Not looking like a great start to my season.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Would be Higbee if Waller cannot go. 8-team league so things ain't had a chance to get bad yet. If Waller can go it's I guess Metcalf?

Not exactly in the spirit of the topic, but ok.

Definitely was thinking “anyone but K or D/ST” here, but my bad for not specifying.

 

[Judge Smails]

David Montgomery. 13.6. Not bad

If my Pacheco answer didn’t suffice, I also have Bateman starting. I’m ready to be hurt again.

Ohh that makes more sense! Good going

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

VaJayJay. I don't have much faith in his talent, so it's a pure bet on opportunity with Kupp out. See him as less risky than Addison/JSN in their NFL debuts

Uhh who. ETA: Ohh Van Jefferson.

Just checked. Someone in my league actually started Yung Joka.

I’m trying to make “fetch” happen

 

[Truebluey]

Will have to start one of Edwards, Allegier, or Penny as my RB 2 in a 16-teamer

 

[jobarules]

Marquise brown

 

[BobbyLayne]

Starting Dalton Kincaid over Muth

probably Addison or Likely

 

[Grid71]

OBJ on the waiver wire in my league. He will be the #1 pickup if this happens. Baltimore spent enough on this guy, you’d think people would consider him a lock as the top WR. Everyone wants to chase the new shiny things.

For example, I am starting Zay Flowers over AJ Dillon in the flex this week since Andrews is expected to be out.

 

[3nOut]

Dionte Johnson in for Kupp.

 

[FantasyMC]

Mingo

 

[menobrown]

I answered Skyy Moore earlier but that was kind of cheating as I said that after the fact.

Without any doubt the worst player I feel about putting in a lineup is Rico Dowdle as my RB2.

 

[GrantK]

Probably Gainwell when Doubs can't go.

Doubs is full go.

StopIt.gif

Sunday Update: Romeo Doubs will play on a "snap count", further increasing my skepticism about entering him into fantasy lineups.

 

[zoonation]

James Cook
Herbert
Kincade

Yeah, we’ve been on it in the Doubs topic.

Snap count. I’m out.

 

[kface]

I'm rolling out Michael Thomas and Javonte Williams

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Everett for Kelce or Deshaun Watson, sadly my QB1,

 

[Kuz]

Bateman in the flex for me..
