Fantasy Football discussion 2020

I'm up 1 and have Tampa's D left. Other guy has no one. Anyone bench their D before? I would hate to lose because my D got me negative points. Benching them will guarantee me a win. It might be against Fantasy Ethics? But a win is a win.

Hmm Cook single handedly won me this week. I also started Fulghram, he seems like he maybe a WR2 possibly with my current lineup.

fulgham is the highest scoring fantasy WR in the league in standard, 0.5 PPR and full PPR since he started playing in week 4. he's a must-start every week.

As a non-Eagles fan in the Philly market, I see a lot of Eagles games and also can evaluate them objectively. Fulgham is the real deal in terms of IRL football. He has all the WR skills - route running, hands, winning battles, blocking, etc. He's not just a flash in the pan. As far as fantasy goes, he's going to be limited by Carson Wentz's season, which is pretty bad so far, and by the fact that they will try to get the same type of chain moving mid range targets to Goedert and Ertz when they are 100%, but I think he should maintain WR2 status in fantasy, too, because he is good enough. I have no idea how this guy was just out there floating around practice squads, but the Eagles got really lucky to find him.

Inb4 stat correction. Also points scored may end up determining playoff seeding

no such thing as fantasy ethics

the only thing that would hurt you is a stat correction but if you're up by 1 full point the odds of a stat correction being that high are pretty low. most of the corrections effect defense anyway.

granted the odds of the giants suddenly scoring ~40 points are low as well. you're good either way. you MAY regret it later in life if the bucs score well and you're tied (in record) with another team and scoring determines playoff positions.


edit damn wizard above me.

In my league its full points, not tenths. It is a safe bet the Bucs won't get negative points but fuk, I would hate to lose that way. Maybe I'll play them regardless. Plus I think whoever has the most points in the regular season wins a cash prize. Which I'm in second place at 790 and another guy 815.

in the last 4 weeks kamara hasn't scored a TD and only played 3 games due to a bye and he's still the #3 RB in PPR in that span (behind henry and cook).

[Madvillainy]

kittle out 8 weeks. once again kelce is just going to cruise to being the highest scoring TE again. ****show of a position, waller is good and andrews has potential but is ridiculously inconsistent.

Traded for him weeks back and don't regret it one bit. Traded OBJ, Mixon, Jonnu for Kelce and Allen in 1/2 PPR. OBJ out for the year. Mixon has been hurt and trash since. Jonnu is up and down. I don't normally draft Kelce, so trading for him was the answer I guess.

The drop off really is huge. All the rankings have Hunter Henry as 5-6th best rest of season and he's been garbage. When you get past the first few you're really just praying for TDs.

tough spot here

Cam Newton @ Jets
Drew Lock @ Atlanta
Cousins vs Detroit

all three decent matchups. Newton frankly looks done, even when he's running he doesn't look right to me. Cousins seems like the boring safe one of the three. I liked Lock's swag and confidence last week and he's definitely the most fun of the three. input welcome.

Cousins for floor, Lock for ceiling. Newton's done and the Pats season is swirling down the toilet after the Bills loss.

I have basically the same choice plus Carr and Jones and I'm going with Carr assuming he's there when waivers clear.

Have you been streaming all season or just need someone for this week? If the first then it could be worth trading for a good one since there's gotta be a ton of teams with 2 QBs if those are the best FAs.

Carr is also an option for me. i just worry they run too much.

i have somewhat been streaming all season because i sadly drafted carson wentz and really thought he'd be great. he's had some nice fantasy games despite the ugliness, very jameis winston-ish. but overall he's hurt way more than helped.

[WHChampion]

lol also drafted Wentz in that league. Dropped him after week 2 then picked him up last week for the ROS potential and that Cowboys matchup....

[Madvillainy]

diontae johnson might be the most volatile fantasy option i've ever had. i've started him in every week he's played and you could not get a more boom or bust player. guy is a legitimate stud when he's on the field, but you just can't trust his injury history at this point. reminds me a lot of matt breida when he was starting to break out with the 49ers, where he looked like gold then would just limp off the field with an injury and give you nothing. still, i feel like i can't pass up him vs. the cowboys this week.

ah yes, much like will fuller (before this season i suppose)

i'm not sure what to expect out of johnson vs claypool. hard to project.

[cullenmichael34]

I think I'm rolling with Tua to replace Burrow this week in 14-team. Need AB to go off this week thanks to Jamaal/Ekeler/Dak being gone lol

Couple of questions:
in standard format would you go

Jonnu or Henry in TE?
MGIII or Aiyuk or Hollywood Brown in Flex?

i don't know what happened to Jonnu, i guess the injury might still be bugging him. i keep rolling with him and it's a tough game vs chicago. tannehill will need him.

at your flex i'll go melvin

[cullenmichael34]

Henry in standard sucks, but experts keep throwing him in top 10, but Herbert isn't a big fan of targeting him. I think I'm gonna keep rolling with Jonnu.

Repped, with my poverty reps

[WHChampion]

I'm also rolling AB out this week. Chark is the only other option with Boyd/Kupp/Landry on bye and I feel like Brady is gonna hook AB up with a welcome back TD. I have zero faith in any of the Jags outside of Robinson.

i have two shares of Brown and i'm saying screw it and going with him. times are tough right now. he's a HOF'er and he's healthy. well, i don't know about mentally healthy, but physically he's fine and him and brady have a little history together.

[Berts]

Bye week fuking me hard this week. Good news is I should be good after this week. Usually play 2 QB's but can't this week unless I drop Borrow to waivers which I might do. Not really anyone to pick up. Maybe Drew Lock but wow

As of now

Starting

Kirk Cousins
James Robinson
Damien Harris
Robby Anderson
Will Fuller V
Travis Kelce
Adam Thielen
Justin Jefferson
Bucs D

Bench

Nick Chubb
Amari Cooper
Robert Woods
Kareen Hunt
Joe Burrow

[Madvillainy]

i'd feel comfortable starting brown. brady will absolutely feed him right off the bat, look what happened in new england.

Lock is a hot pick right now and it's hard not to buy the hype. lots of byes going on and he's got atlanta. couldn't have finished any better last week. total sink or swim pick though; he could easily get you 5 points and have you saying 'what the hell was i thinking" while much more reliable guys (like your choice of Cousins) were available.

[cullenmichael34]

Honestly, Arians said he was in great shape, you know he's the healthiest WR on the Bucs right now having not played, and he's literally been staying with Brady. It's gonna be a 12 target, 8/100/1TD kind of week imo. Starting him over Hollywood, Aiyuk and would be over Cupp if not on bye

[cullenmichael34]

Almost picked up Cousins to replace Burrow as well, but I think I'm gonna roll the dice on Tua....

don't do it brah, that's insane. tua at his best is more of a game manager anyways

[Murph0408]

blew a waiver on Marvin Jones and now Stafford has corona. perfect
