You can't ever sit ARob. DJ has chit matchup but I'd start him too. Of the last 3 I'd start Boyd assuming there's no better options of the wire.

Crennel said DJ is going to be more involved starting this week. The Texans are out of the playoff hunt, but Crennel is coaching for a job, so they are not going to white flag the end of the season and play scrubs. I'd feel better about him if he had a little more left in the tank, but he should have a decent, volume-based floor.

My thought was Robinson and DJ because they've got a solid 13-15 point floor.

I was thinking of rolling Gallup because Dalton seems to like looking for him. Boyd makes sense but he only had 1 catch before getting ejected. Cant reply on a 72 yard TD every time.

I'm rolling Boyd this week. ****ty Cowboys D. He had 3 targets before he got ejected and I believe that was early in the game. It's not like he's getting ejected every game.

I like Boyd this week as well. Higgins in questionable with a hamstring, so whatever dumpster fire is playing QB for the Bengals this week should be looking for Boyd a lot. It would be a problem if Boyd were facing a shut down corner, but Dallas's D is atrocious, so that's not really a concern.

Gallup also has a joocy matchup against Cincy, but he got a lot of looks against Baltimore because Peters was playing Cooper, Humphreys was playing CeeDee, but Jimmy Smith (who would have covered Gallup) was sidelined. Against a D that doesn't have 2 elite shut down corners, Gallup will go back to the third option in the offense.

Week 2/2 in first round matchup, I'm down 17 currently:

QB: Murray
RB: Ekeler
RB: Drake
WR: Lockett
WR: Claypool
TE: Tonyan
FLEX: McKissic
D/ST Saints
K: Myers

I'm not 100% confident rolling Claypool and Drake. I think McKissic is my safest play.

Bench:
Jacobs (likely out)
MGIII
Lamb
D. Harris
B. Cooks (questionable)

Cooks has be ultra consistent, and if he's a go and Coutee is out I think I have to go with Cooks > Claypool just due to the number of options with Pittsburg and Claypool being TD or bust lately.

MGIII coming off a strong game is enticing, but Lindsay is there to steal work. I am reluctant to trust Drake in this matchup though.

Anyone have thoughts or input?

Man Boyd was solid for me all season. Sucked when Burrow went down. I have a bye this week but hopefully he can string together 2 good games after.

If you're down 17, you need to play your upside plays even if they are riskier. To me, that would be Cooks over Claypool and MGIII over Drake. I don't think Coutee is going to miss the game, but Cooks is a big play receiver regardless of whether Coutee is playing and Watson is a downfield thrower (and run first instead of check down if it's not there), so Cooks is a high ceiling play regardless of whether Coutee is in the lineup or not.

[Berts]

Week 2/2, I'm up 13

For now I'm going in with

M Stafford
K Hunt
J Robinson
A Thielen
K Allen
T Kelce
R Woods
K Cousins
Bucs D

Bench

R Anderson
D Harris
B Mayfield
Packers D
C Akers

His matchups are not that great, hoping for the best. Win this week and I'm guaranteed in the money. Sucks J Allen had such a baller game for him last week. Hoping Pitts can shut him down.

On spread with you. Makes sense. Really need Murray to summon his 3-4 week ago form. Appreciate it.

[WHChampion]

Pick 1 half ppr:
Damien Harris @ LAR
Tim Patrick @ CAR
Ty Johnson @ SEA (assuming Gore is out)

Pick 1 ppr:
Cam Akers vs NE
Keke Coutee @ CHI
Chark vs TEN
Shepard vs ARI

Bold is who I have in now but not really confident in either. Both are 2nd flexes.

Top: I'd roll with Johnson. I like his potential, although that's very risky. Not really a great choice here, and I think Harris probably has a safer floor, despite being a NE RB. The problem is that you have to choose today without knowing Gore's status. Tough call.

Bottom: Chark. Glennon actually likes to bomb it and Chark is a downfield receiver. They had a number of chances against the Vikes and just missed. For a second flex spot, I love the upside here.

Ya it sucks not knowing if Gore will be out. Might just run out Harris tonight since he'll likely get his 12-15 carries even if they'll be pretty low quality. Would absolutely take 10 points.

Looks like CMC is going to be out in that second league so would you run any of those other 3 guys over Mike Davis?

(on spread)

[sfgiants13]

Looking ahead to after my bye. Who should I pick up at QB? I have Goff but Wentz is benched so I need someone else with 2 decent matchups. Trubisky, Carr, Rivers, and Stafford are available.

Get Akers in! LOL, sorry. I do still like Chark's matchup, though. Coutee should be an OK play, too, although I think I'd probably stick with Davis.

[Berts]

Dammit, Didn't start Akers. And Woods chit the bed for me getting 3 points. Not a good start for me this week.

Haha it's all good, I'm always looking for any excuse to start as few players as possible on Thursdays.

[cullenmichael34]

Really expected Woods to be the guy honestly and Kupp to get locked down. Decided to sit Kupp on that hunch, and still don't feel bad about it. Without that TD his line was trash. I have to say, did not see that game script going the way it did though.

[Jayarbie]

So, I need a WR2 and a flex between AJ Brown, Corey Davis, and Aiyuk. It seems like a good choice all around, but this is an 8 man money league, so all of the playoff teams are stacked. Is it worth it to play both Ten WRs? If not, which one? Normally, I'd say Brown, but he's dinged this week and Davis has been really good this year. Aiyuk has been really good this year, too, but his matchup isn't as good as Ten vs Jax. Full PPR.

I think you gotta start Aiyuk, as he's becoming the prefered #1 option in SF...... other pick is hard. Brown and Davis are both putting up similiar lines, but Brown gets more TDS.

[velociREPtor]

I'm the #1 seed with a first round bye, but we have a payout for most points during playoffs so I still need to optimize lineup. My acquisition of CMC for Melvin Gordon and Ronald Jones 3 weeks ago has no not cashed in yet. Now looking like CMC, Antonio Gibson and Julio Jones all gonna be out for me. Have Dalvin Cook locked in at RB1.

Fill these spots:
RB
RB/WR
WR
WR

With these players:
Kareem Hunt v. BAL
Davontae Booker v. IND
Latavious Murray @ PHI
Carlos Hyde v. NYJ
Amari Cooper @ CIN
Corey Davis @JAX
Antonio Brown v. MIN

FA available:
Adrian Peterson v. GB
Nelson Agholor v. IND
Keke Coute @ CHI
Ty Johnson @ SEA

[Madvillainy]

0.5 PPR, need to start 2 of:

diontae johnson @ buf
corey davis @ jax
deebo samuel vs. wsh

hunt, davis, cooper, AB. all those other RBs are too risky to me, and AB/davis have great match-ups. cooper depends if jackson is going to shadow him, but i feel like you have to start a receiver with his production regardless.

Looking for some thoughts on this. I have a bye this week and have been streaming QB all year. Right now I'm rostering only Tannehill. He's been good, but my worry is next week they may run all over Detroit and it's a Henry game. Taysom Hill is sitting out as a FA. Unsure if Brees will return, do you think it would be wise to grab Taysom for wk15 vs KC as long as Brees is out obviously? Instead of starting Tanny vs DET? I wouldn't drop Tanny and roster both going into next week. I have zero FAAB left and my roster is pretty much set. I'd have to drop either Chark or Pittman as I'm holding Gibson (hurt), Murray (Kamara handcuff) and Edmonds (Drake handcuff). I'm also holding 2 defenses right now as I have Rams for Jets next week and Browns for Jets the championship week.

i think you're over thinking and i would stick with tannehill

[bullybreed]

I think that you thinking that I'm over thinking is probably thinking right.

[TyGuy505]

I think that you thinking that I'm over thinking is probably thinking right.

The right play is tannehill. Don’t get cute this far into the season. He still puts up 18 during Henry’s big games

[GODLE]

DeAndre Washington or AB in flex?

[Devil-spawn]

we made it!

Thanks. I think that is what I'm going to roll with. It's actually not the playoffs yet anyway (8 man league, so 4 team playoffs start next week) and my spot is clinched.

[Murph0408]

DeAndre Washington or AB in flex?

i'm in a similar boat where it's deandre or my WR3 and i think i'm going to go deandre.

miami can run the ball. they made a short-term star out of ahmed. KC is slightly vulnerable to the run.
