Derrick Henry . . . but still time to change my mind . . .

Seriously considering J Wilson over him and T. Lockett, to fill my two flex spots.

I would play him and just temper your expectations.
I've never really understood that point of view.
If I'm tempering expectations for a player in my lineup then I'm satisfied with a low ceiling.
Not always acceptable. Especially if you're an underdog. Need all the ceiling you can get.

Gurley, Chubb and Fournette.

I want someone proven in the playoffs who doesn’t have a great matchup over someone with 2 games of production to judge off of.
But I like a strong 10 over a possible 4 and unlikely 16. You are obviously for the 4 or 16and that’s fine. Just offering my opinion since it was asked for.

Starting to lean in your direction.
There's a lot of risk that an A. Reid plays some games here with a Damien Williams, Darrel Williams, and C. West. Not to mention, Damien Williams is...um...not that good.

I’m not a big “name” guy but it does factor in. And like you said, who is D. Williams?

Gordon is officially inactive Justin Jackson.
Just picked up McGuire myself, but don't think I can do it either.
Kicking myself for not starting D. Williams although on the flip side, I am facing Mahommes and I'm trying to think glass half full in that Williams stole two TDs from Mahommes.
So there's that...
K. Dixon available on the wire. Clearly a dice roll, but great matchup in a game BALT should thoroughly control. Splitting with G. Edwards but should have a lot of touches to go around.
Yet again, not sure I'd have the guts to do it.
Seems like anyone who is sitting A. Jones this week has a pretty legit RB2 available with a good matchup on the bench.
My decision may depend on how Chubb does tonight. If he lays an egg, maybe I roll the dice for upside. If he hits or surpasses projections, probably stand pat.

My opponent is benching Jones for Ingram. I hope he is wrong - not that I want Jones to fail, but I want Ingram to fail worse.

I benched Jones for Damian Williams - I just liked that matchup a lot more, and I felt strong that Williams would be the bellcow on Thursday, and he was. I could still put Jones in my lineup, but would be benching either Lindsay or one of these 4 WRs - Julio, Juju, Adams, or Woods. Chicago is hungry and in reach of clinching the division - I just don't like Jones in this matchup. Note I am starting Rodgers and Adams, so am already heavy in this game.

Sure glad I went with the safe choice in Miller

Officially starting him with Conner doubtful/out. Not thrilled about the matchup, but he’s scored at least one TD in 6 of the last 7 games. 75 total yards and a TD would be great.

Considering Carson.
With Penny out, I think that's a no brainer. Also, Baldwin gimpy and rain forecasted with some wind.

Really?
Yes, it's PPR.
I'm also starting the CHI D vs GB (and A. Jones). If things are to roll my way I really need A) CHI D to shutdown GB, and B) this slot at RB to produce.
