Fantasy Football discussion 2020

[Jayarbie]

Do we think Justin Jefferson is going to be a real producer? I missed out on most of the hot FAAB bids earlier and I'm in pathetic shape at WR.

I would guess he is going to be inconsistent, but that this week wasn't just a one and done with him, either. It depends on how well you can stomach the duds along with the big games.

[4Mum69]

I have to think that the Vikings are going to try and move away from the ball control game they dont have the D they need for it, which should translate to more opportunities for Jefferson.

[Berts]

I’m a lifelong Vikings fan but don’t sugar coat much. Jefferson will be good eventually in fantasy. Hit and miss this year but he will slowly become more consistent as his career progresses. You have the play calling that’s inconsistent, they don’t game plan well on offense. Kirk is very inconsistent and the same with the OL. He will be a very hard call every week if you should play him or not. People are going to over buy his play last week. He isn’t Moss and doesn’t have the QB, OL and offensive play caller to make him consistent. I hope I’m wrong and he balls out but Kirk already has his #1 in Theilen.

My prediction is the people who pick him up will bench him for a couple weeks to see how he does, he won’t add much value and will cut him.

He is a risky flex guy at this point. Doesn’t hurt to pick him up for free and see how the next couple weeks go though.

I just think even in a run-first offense, being the #2 option with no other real competition besides Thielen has value. Snap count looks healthy, I'm buying.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

I overpaid for Jefferson, but I was pretty desperate for a WR. We will see how it pays off. Worst case he's still a better option that my other WRs, lol.

[TyGuy505]

My Boyd and James Robinson for Aaron Rodgers and Metcalf redraft standard scoring? Normally I stream qbs but every owner in this league has 2 on their roster so I keep going back and forth between Minshew and Fitzpatrick. The only other QBs available are Cousins Rivers Darnold Jones and Haskins.

My team

Fitzpatrick

CEH, Henry, Robinson, McKinnon, Henderson, Ingram, Lindsay

Brown, Parker, Boyd, Lamb

Graham

I’m leaning toward doing this because I’m sick of playing QB roulette and putting myself in a hole when they score less than 10 points. Just wanted to hear some other’s thoughts

[frutistafreeze]

Anyone else starting the season 0-3? This whole corona nonsense as well as the political aspect in sports made me disinterested in doing any research or mock drafts prior to drafting and now i'm stuck with this chit tier squad:

QBs:
Burrow
Tannehill

RBs:
Dalvin Cook
Kareem Hunt
David Johnson
David Montgomery
JK Dobbins
Nyheim Hines

WRs:
Golladay
AJ Green
Godwin
Diontae Johnson
E. Sanders

TE:
Zach Ertz


Rams D/ST
Gostkowski


Feels bad man

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

So Steelers and Titans game is postponed, all the players are showing on a BYE this week.

I was surprised no one grabbed him off waivers in my league. So I grabbed him for free, just in case he becomes consistent or Theilen gets hurt.

[BeastinFitness]

Fuk..D. Henry and the titans are going on bye this week due to the corono chit..

[bullybreed]

It's possible the game is moved to Monday or Tuesday and will be counted for week 4.

[Devil-spawn]

I believe Schefter already reported that's not happening

[BeastinFitness]

Fuk, Gunna have to roll the dice on James White this week with Henry being out...waiver is a barren wasteland in my 12 man, especially due to having an extra bench spot this year given the circumstances. We can't really trust Devonta Freeman yet either.

[Berts]

Sounds dumb but I’m thinking Jefferson over Thielen this week. Texans are rough against WR’s. Thielen will get double teamed. Also Fuller with a hammy, sucks for me. I’ll be out of cell service tomorrow Morning through Sunday evening. I can’t start a guy with a hammy issue. Those always end bed

Unless this is an 8 teamer, this is a solid squad

Don't overthink it

Thoughts on TE this week in 1/2 PPR? Lost Jonnu and didn't have another rostered. Quickly grabbed Robert Tonyan yesterday after the Lazard news, but Engram was just dropped by someone. So available are Engram, Akins, Thomas, Howard, Sample, Gronk, Eifert, Olsen and Knox. I like Tonyan a lot this week with Adams likely still out and Lazard out, but Engram could just blow up any week.

I would probably scoop up Engram.... Jason Garrett offense have always had a lot of TE involvement and he's the most talented/athletic TE of the group. No Barkley, no real WR1, a TE is going to be a struggling QBs best friend.

It's really hard to judge teams/players through 3 weeks when they had zero preseason reps and a messed up off season.

if somebody dropped engram right now i'd grab him immediately. far too soon to be bailing on talent like that even if you don't really like the guy. the target counts are strong, he'll have his games as long as he's healthy.

[Jayarbie]

I agree with Juggs and Murph. Tonyan might be a slightly better option for this week because of the matchup & Packers injuries, but Engram is a season long starting TE prospect. I'd grab him unless you have a super short bench and can't afford to roster 2 TEs at all.

[Murph0408]

requesting thoughts

offer in a 12 man league came to me:
my Cam Newton and Jonnu Smith for his George Kittle

current starting lineup
QB1 Prescott
WR1 Golladay
WR2 Boyd
RB1 Carson
RB2 Gibson
TE Fant (Jonnu with his "Bye" week)
FLX DJ Chark

noteable bench: Mccaffrey (IR), Newton, Jonnu, Hyde, N'Keal Harry

he's 0-3 and was using Tannehill. really wants Cam for the Chiefs game.

That’s an easy yes for me. Prescott is a top 5 QB that you will never bench for Cam and Kittle >>>>>>>> Smith and Fant.

Put in a claim for him. On spread with all of you.

Fournette is out this week. I'm highly contemplating playing Rojo over Mixon this week.....

i would still go mixon because of the touches he gets but that's the big problem with him. lures you in with the touches and then does jack squat. a lot of it's his team's fault (OL). reminds me of lamar miller a couple years ago

Yeah...last week for Mixon for me. If he doesn't go off I'm done.

[bullybreed]

Is Deebo worth holding onto in a 10 team? I drafted him late. But I need to make room for a claim for Engram and I was planning on dropping Josh Kelley. I don't own Ekeler but if he ever goes down Kelley is in for a ton of work. It's either Kelley or Deebo...We start 3WR in this league my others are A Rob, Chark, OBJ, Jefferson, and Dionte Johnson.

I'd go Burrow. He's getting better every week. If they ever figure out how to block, he's going to be great.

That's what I had been leaning towards. Fitz can just fly off the rails at any point throw 4 picks and they'll put Tua in.

[WHChampion]

Ya I'm going to roll with Burrow now, especially since MT is out for my opponent. The rest of his team is pretty bad (also the Barkley/Bell drafter) so I just want what should be some safe points.
