Fantasy Football discussion 2020

Took a risk and started Wentz last night in place of Big Ben. The game probably plays Wednesday, but I couldn't take the risk of getting a 0 from Ben as I was down 5 points. Ended up with 19 from Wentz, so hopefully that's enough. He has JuJu left in 1/2 PPR.

That worthless hail mary really made your day...

[WHChampion]

Needed Metcalf to get less than 20 in half ppr, rip. Now I need to win next week by like 23 to take the last spot. Doing well in my other leagues but it always stings when you miss playoffs in your longest league.

Take the points any way I can get them lol

I never even saw you put wentz in. Damnit.

That hail mary ****ed me in 2 leagues.

Couldn't risk Ben not playing. If I was ahead at all even the slightest point I wouldn't have played Wentz :-)

The way that game started I thought for sure I made the wrong decision and probably really did if that hail mary didn't work.

It turned Blake Bortles into a fantasy star for a year...

Well I only need Wentz this week and he came through, so hopefully I don't need him again cause anyone and everyone can smell a benching coming. Even though there seems to be tons of other issues with that team, Hurts is coming soon.

Yes, there are tons of issues with that team, starting with Roseman and Peterson all the way down the roster. Wentz is merely one, but I think Hurts will get a chance. It might help because Hurts will be more aware of the rush and will look to run more, and one of the other big issues is the Swiss cheese line. Wentz is somewhat decent as a runner, but he needs a solid O-line because when he's dropping back, a lot of the time, he just looks around until he gets sacked and doesn't even try to feel the rush.

This team may actually sneak into the playoffs after Wednesday assuming Pitt D doesn't put up like 35pts.

QB - Herbert
WR - Jefferson
WR - Kupp
RB - McKissic
RB - Gallman Jr
TE - Goedert
Flex - throw a dart at the names below:

Lamb, Fournette, Golladay(injured), Singletary, Patrick(Den), Gaskin(IR-R), J. Williams

K - Succop
D - Stream desperately.

This league my top picks were Barkley, Adams and Drake. Barkley went down, traded Adams when he was injured, later traded Drake for Kupp.

I would basically be the NFC East winner of FF Playoffs.

[MURedHawk235]

This whole year has been brutal for streaming for me in that league. Hit 20 only twice all year. Taking Chark in the 5th instead of a good QB probably fked my season.

I took him in the 5th too, but I also have tyreek (2nd) and calvin (4th) in a 12 team ppr league.

I waited and go dak in the 7th, since the injury I've just been using tannehill.

[sfgiants13]

I might win this week after all. This would clinch a playoff spot. He had Landry but we have some weird covid rules in our league so before the games the guy I’m playing had Claypool if he plays over Landry. With the game going if Claypool gets under 11 points I’ll win this week.

locked in at 1-2 seed.

carroll said carson was sore after the game and limited on wednesday. this game gonna get out of hand and we wont see carson in the second half I bet. Hines full go in my flex


anyone got some sleepers for the playoffs? i have plenty of bench room

[Murph0408]

i'd grab a couple handcuffs to big RBs. guys who usually get drafted by the person who has the RB1 on the team, yet by week 13 they've had to make moves and leave him behind.

example. Tony Pollard is one Zeke coronavirus test away from being a 3-down player. might only be one week but you never know. if he's out there i'd grab him.

Mattison as well. Cook has been a little dinged lately.

[WHChampion]

If your league has DST you could grab a couple that have good matchups week 15-16. Either for yourself or to block leaguemates. If any of the playoff teams are streaming QBs you can maybe do the same there and pickup whoever has a favorable matchup those weeks.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Are the Saints D/ST weekly starter at this point? They have scored 15+ the last 4 weeks. My playoffs started in one of my leagues

I want to say yes to that, but the issue is that they play the Chiefs week 15 (in a track meet game @NO where weather won't be an issue...). Their next two games are the Falcons and the Eagles, which they are locked in starters, but the Chiefs in the playoff semis week is a big red flag. I have the Saints in one league, and I'm rolling with them, but I stashed the Cards to have an option to cover that week, too.

Yeah that week is a no brainer to sit..... I also have the Dolphins vs. Cincy this coming week as another option, and I have the Rams against NYJ for the KC week. I've been stocking D/STs for my own good and to block others.

I can't imagine carrying 3 DSTs unless you have like 15 bench spots, but if you can keep NO and play Mia vs Cin this week, that's a great matchup, although I think NO is better than Mia in general. LAR vs NYJ is a good team to cover wk 15, although LAR is not available to stash in most leagues (including mine), so stashing ARI vs the Philly trainwreck turnover machine is the best I could do.

[Murph0408]

a couple other defensive options upcoming

Chicago - i like them vs detroit and then in the (fantasy) finals they have the jags. if golladay comes back maybe not vs detroit but that probably won't happen, i think golladay died.
Seattle looks good the next 3 weeks although they don't seem very available
Vikings have Jax now and then have CHI week 15
Chargers aren't bad ROS. kinda depends on which Raiders team shows up vs them week 15. broncos in the finals.

Houston is also widely available. they've had a rough year on defense but i don't mind them week 14 (CHI) or week 16 (CIN)

looking into booker but pollard is a good pickup option

Mattison as well. Cook has been a little dinged lately.

I have cook. tell me about it lol

I have Seahawks and Browns, browns have a good 2 week stretch(hopefully ward comes back quick)



Im probably fuked anyways with cook and kamara trending downwards hard

[Berts]

I need another QB, Tried picking up Mitch but someone higher in the waiver grabbed him. Currently have Mayfield, Cousins and Dalton but will drop Dalton most likely. Somehow I managed 1st place streaming QB's but with all the injuries at QB they are becoming slim pickings.

Available

Stafford
Teddy
Tagovailoa
D Jones
Drew Lock
Alex Smith

ROS, I think your choices are Stafford, Bridgewater, or Smith. The other three will be too volatile and too low floor for a QB. I'd probably go for Bridgewater, although Smith is interesting because it looks like they are most likely to be a playoff team, so they're not going to quit trying. Smith has always put up consistent but unspectacular numbers throughout his whole career. For this week specifically, Bridgewater is off, and Smith and Stafford both have bad matchups (although this is a trap game for the Steelers, so Smith's matchup might not be as bad as it looks on paper), so if you want to really take a chance, consider Lock since they're going to have to chase points from the start.

I'm not too concerned for this week honestly. Baker and Kirk have decent matchups so I'll likely roll with them. I'm thinking the 3 weeks after. 4 weeks of fantasy left for my league.

Stafford CHI, GB, TEN and TB. Thats a pretty tough schedule

Teddy Bye, DEN, GB & WASH, Plus he is questionable with his knee. Is that going to hold up

Lock KC, CAR, BUF and LAC

Smith PIT, SF, SEA, CAR

I'm thinking Smith honestly. Won't play him this week or maybe even against SF but SEA and CAR are decent matchups

Edit: I just picked up Smith for now. I'll look again tomorrow

Thanks for the heads up

[cullenmichael34]

It all comes down to this week. Dead even matchup again. Got Kamara and Ekeler in 1 & 2.

For flex, looking at MGIII or Dobbins, probably not Aiyuk / Jamaal W.

A lot of experts have Dobbins really high ranked and looks like Lindsay will be good to go. Is Dobbins the best flex here?

Smith is a good high floor/low ceiling type pickup to make sure you get at least something every week.

I like Dobbins a lot. In watching the Ravens this year, it's pretty clear he's the most talented of their backs, it's just a matter of when they trust him to get a bigger load with everyone healthy. I feel like this is a great spot for a breakout game for him against a chit tier defense on a national stage (and also against his predecessor Zeke...). That's just my hunch, though.

you go him over Gallman now that jones is out? gallman's been great but he might be screwed without DJ

then again Lamar might not be playing either

Trace McSorley will cut through Dallas's Swiss cheese D like a hot knife through butter, LOL.

I would use Dobbins over Gallman, but it's risky because Dobbins has a much more crowded backfield, especially if Ingram is activated, too. I like Dobbins a lot as a breakout candidate this week, but again, it's more of a hunch on my part, so take it FWIW.
