In case you didn't watch the game Matthews was injured. Before he got injured he was catching everything thrown his way. That being said, I would still bench him lol.

I did not watch the game, I guess I'm just used to his mediocre performances all year, so a low stat-line is common... lulz.

[TyGuy505]

Clinched playoffs in two leagues. Third league I need to win and two guys to lose to get in. I'm first overall in points against by 250 and ahead of both guys in points scored, def hasn't been my year in this league

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Am I going potato considering starting Colin Kap @ Chicago over these two:

Ryan @ KC
Ben @ NYG

[Jhuth13]

Didnt think I'd ever ask this, but...

Ryan @ KC
Kaep @ Mia

KC's defense scares me and Kaep is somehow racking up the points...

Also, have been running KC's D all year - think I should try to stream this week, and any good streamer options?

Think you mean Kap @ Chicago brah.

But I literally posted the same thing above you. I'm wondering if I'm crazy.

haha, thanks bro - good catch. I didnt see the first line of your post when I was skimming. This is the toughest decision I've had all year.

It's friging hard to bench Ryan, but Kap seems to be using his dual threat ability a lot more. He put up 30+ on a very solid Miami defense. Going against Chicago is real good matchup..... interested to other opinions ITT.

What are you scared of with Ryan vs KC? KC ruined Denver's offense which is nothing spectacular. I wouldn't be worried about Ryan vs KC especially with their offense.

Kaep @ Chicago is intriguing. They are going to have a hard time stopping that read option and containing him in general in the pocket. They are down 2 starting LBs which will not help at all. Mariota got outside of them plenty last week and Kaep is faster/better at running. Last week I played Mariota over Ryan simply based on matchups. It gained me 2 points. This week I'm playing Ryan. I still need to win to get into the playoffs and I'm not counting on Kaep keeping this up over Ryan who really got me here outside of 2 weeks.

My actual issue is I have KC's defense on the same team I have Ryan/Julio. I'm thinking of streaming a different defense. KC is on the road and ATL isn't an easy place to play it. KC's defense has put up big numbers against **** offenses.

NYJ - 35
IND - 11
Jax - 11
Car - 13
Den - 15

Pit and SD they scored a combined 3 points. Oak and NO they were average.

[JMath]

I'm starting Kaep this week. He obviously has a good matchup, but his running ability and that offense makes him a legitimate fantasy option every week. He isn't going to win a lot of games or impress you in real life, but as far as fantasy football is concerned he gets points. In my league his lowest points in a game was 22.5 and he's averaged over 30 per game. He's even played against some decent defenses during this time too.

Not scare of Ryan versus KC, just intrigued at the matchup between Kap and Chicago. Kap using his running ability again is a big bright spot for fantasy. 30+ on Miami's D was a solid performance.

Exact same position - have Julio, Ryan and KC's D. I feel like too many eggs in one basket here. If any go off, its going to hurt at least 1 other player. My big issue is Ryan is the safer play, but Kaep has a lot higher ceiling this week IMO. I could also see Ryan just being mediocre (16-20 pts) against a very solid D.

Tough call

I think your decisions comes down to what other D/ST options you have.

Also keep in mind that every time Julio has had a dud week, he has exploded the week after.

Actually, I just checked this league standings again. I'm currently the 6th seed. I can't get up to 5th even with a win. If I lose I will still stay in 6th because the guy in 7th is 175pts behind me, has 1 more loss and I also hold the tie breaker in head to head against him. My team would literally have to score 0 while his score 175+ for him to beat me. That being said, I'm just going to hold with the lineup I got this week most likely. I'm probably going to grab Cinci def if I can to play against Cleveland next week but I think I'll just stay with what I got.

I think playing Kaep really depends on your playoff situation. If you like his ceiling and want to take the shot go for it. If you need to make sure you get a solid 16-20 points I would stick with Ryan.

[Gymmysmits]

Should I start Dak this week @ Min? Top 5 projected choices on the ww are:

A Smith @ Atl
Palmer vs Was
Dalton vs Phi
Wentz @ Cin
Fitzpatrick vs Ind

Makes sense. I'm #4 seed currently @ 7-5. Two teams behind me at 6-6 ( I play one of them next week) If we all end up 6-6, I currently have a 90pt points lead over the next person (tie breaker is PF)

So unless I get massacred, I should be safe. That being said, I have to really think about it, because Ryan has been a very safe play this season and there is a reason he's been a top fantasy QB.



On a new note..... Brandon Marshall @ Indy as my WR2?? He looked good against NE, and Fitz looks healthy again. Indy can't stop a summer breeze.

[Jhuth13]

I think your decisions comes down to what other D/ST options you have.

Also keep in mind that every time Julio has had a dud week, he has exploded the week after.

Agreed, if I could stream another D, I'd feel much better having options. Not much available, here are what Im seeing (sorted by Yahoo projected points):

NYJ v. Indy
NO v. Det
SD v. TB
Buf @ Oak
Wash @ Ari
Indy @ NYJ
Cincy v. Phil
Car @ Sea

I think I'd rather stick with KC out of those. Hope for a return TD or something that won't hurt Ryan's numbers. I mean hell they had a kick and punt return TD each last week. If Ryan throws 1 pick you are still looking solid if KC has a TD.

Thats what Im thinking too. sucks to have so much riding on one game, but dance with the one that brought ya I suppose...

Where my Rawls hype train brahs at? How we feel about this beast?

Tempering my expectations. I definitely don't see another dud like last week, but not expecting a 100/2TD either. Jordan Howard has earned my RB2 slot, and Rawls needs to earn it back. Seattle's line looked atrocious Sunday.

I still have high expectations for Rawls. Seattle will be re-evaluating their offense after that awful performance Sunday. They aren't going to win the big games if they can't establish the run. They aren't the Patriots

I think this too. That line hadn't been bad for several weeks then they just sucked all of a sudden. I don't see the same thing happening this week even though Carolina isn't the best matchup. My other option is Rob Kelley against AZ and I don't want any part of that.

[dhawkeye1980]

Wallace or cobb at flex? .5 ppr

[GingerBrah84]

Pretty sure I'm rolling Kaep this weekend over Luck.

Also starting to struggle with what RB to start every week. Too many mediocre options minus Shady.

Brb Shady, Kelley, Ware, Riddick, Jennings. Always seem to be starting the wrong ones lol.

[Iceman1800]

4-8 in my std league. Loss of CJA and and glitch in the initial draft really hurt me. Plus being off on medical, I've had way too much time to overthink my roster each week. Several coaching errors on my part cost me at least 3 games.

Absolutely. Luck isn't healthy and that O-line is dismal

I would because that O-line gives him all day to throw. Minn's secondary is getting much better but he'll have time to check off his other options
