Guess I should have played Jonnu in hindsight. Good to see the increase in targets this week.

What do y'all think about Aiyuk vs. Gio (vs. AB hype train) this week?

FWIW Burrow is my QB. Potentially could play both Gio/Aiyuk and sit MGIII but he has a good matchup.

Bernard seems to produce every time this happens and he is the starter. I'd roll him confidently.

what did Jonnu finish with, 7-8 points? 6 of which came from a fluky trick play rushing TD. i wouldn't really regret sitting him. who did you sit him for

[Malfa]

Crap luck with RB's all year and suddenly I have a surplus of RB's this week lol

(PPR)
James Conner
Antonio Gibson
Mike Davis

Benching - Giovani Bernard

That's all I needed thanks brah... "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Murph0408 again."

but uh..Hunter Henry... king of floor in standard

Not the brightest guy in here but.. you know Conner and Davis are gonna get close to all of the field time and that's something. I can't say the same about Gibson. I know Conner and Davis have had bad games. If you're looking for floor, they're the guys.

That said, I wouldn't hate rolling out Conner/GIbson. I think Conner has to be in your lineup, and Gibson is subject to game script

in a full PPR it is hard to sit bernard. i swear he's a sure thing every chance he gets as a starter. but your options are better than usual.

Conner is pretty much a top 10 back regardless; that offense is too good. he's your RB1 and that's that. one would think Davis is the safer choice for RB2. However i will go out on a limb and say it's Gibson you should start alongside Conner. gibson has a tremendous matchup and was not featured on the last injury report.

not for nothing; Davis actually has not been all that productive since week 5. i don't know enough about carolina to tell you why but he blew up his first 3 weeks without christian mccaff and kinda chilled after that.

[cullenmichael34]

Oh boys, looks like Ekeler is slated for a week 12 return and I'll need an RB2 that week. If I can just make it through these next 2 weeks..

[WHChampion]

David Johnson suddenly on IR

Josh Norman and apparently other CBs out due to covid so Kyler/Kirk/Hopkins gonna eat.

[Murph0408]

Dallas G or Rob Gronkowski. Both of these guys have absolutely sucked their last game each.

i'm leaning Goedert

[Madvillainy]

i'd go goedert. i'd give it another game to see how the tampa passing offense shakes out

Gronk had that one massive play (and it was really nice, great catch and broke the tackle), but it really looks like there are just too many mouths to feed now. Top 3 receivers all looked impressive

Edit: Fukin lol then he gets a TD

[WHChampion]

Another week where my team disappears except Rodgers. Need Dalvin to save the day again and combine with Thielen for 35.

well that aged well, except for gibson with 2 td's lol

[cullenmichael34]

well, looks like I'm gonna lose to Josh Allen and the most scrub team around unless Viks score 20 tomorrow. Question is, who should I drop Dobbins and Hollywood for? They get no usage on this offense

dobbins is droppable for sure. ravens are hell bent on stopping any of these guys from being productive out of the backfield. JK's nice game vs the colts looks more and more like a fluke as we go along, especially now that ingram is back and they're all just doing 8 touches for 30 yards a piece.

frankly i would look at defense 2 weeks out of you're streaming and carry two of them going forward. get ahead of that.

the confusing thing to me is how little he's used in the passing game. dobbins, ingram and edwards have combined for:

35 targets, 23 catches, 179 yards, 0 TDs

that's on pace for just over 40 receptions over 16 games. we all know lamar doesn't use his WRs, so it's shocking to see this little production from his backs. jets (21) and titans (17) are the only teams with fewer receptions from the RBs

Lamar just takes off instead of checking down.

Yeah, I mean how can you pass for less than 200 yards every game, 50 of them being TE, it's wild. Titans would kill for a guy like Hollywood on their team and I'm getting hard thinking about Dobbins in the MIA backfield, lol.

Bears D is good, but there is a good chance of this happening my guy. Better than my Viks D getting 20, lol

[Murph0408]

lots going on with waivers this week.

Ballage is a hot name right now. but man, he spent the last 2 years as one of the worst backs in the league
Ahmed everyone loves already. just wonder how long Gaskin is out.
Hines feels like i'm point-chasing.

i feel like the league has many guys like this. moss in buffalo, dobbins/gus edwards, ballage, ahmed etc etc. bunch of guys who pop off once in a while and otherwise are sharing carries constantly. i started moss in 2 leagues and almost lost both of them because he did fuk all after being solid for the last 3/4 games

Gaskin is still on IR and Miami is suddenly not a laughingstock, so Ahmed is a good choice if you need to cover a bye or something this week, but it seems likely his shelf life as a starter is limited to the next week or two. I don't trust Ballage at all.

[cullenmichael34]

For what it's worth, needing a Def and RB this week (or suffer through MGIII again)

- Drop Dobbins for Winston
- Drop Vikings D for Browns D (good ROS schedule)
- Drop Hollywood for Jakobi Meyers
- Drop Wilkins for Ahmed

I NEED a win this week and am a little wary of starting Burrow again. If Winston plays, he's probably my guy. If I get Ahmed (probably won't) he will be my RB2

[Murph0408]

vikings D ain't bad next 3 weeks either just sayin

Burrow playing @Pitt in a windstorm as a rookie was never going to go well. Three of Cincy's next 4 games are against the NFC Least, starting with Wash this week. I wouldn't give up on him. Just have a backup ready for the tough games (@Mia and Pitt rematch). I wouldn't really trust Winston. They went into a shell and won with running game and defense under Bridgewater last year, and I suspect T Hill will have an expanded role at QB regardless of whether Winston starts.

[Berts]

Last week dropped Jefferson and Cooper, both still free agents. Might pick up Cooper again. Really hoping someone drops QB.

Yeah, really wanted to believe, but would have been better off with Cousins, that's my biggest mistake of the year so far. You think I should roll w/ Burrow? I thought about throwing in Taysom over Jonnu and H. Henry, as much as I hate watching him play. What do you think about that?

I'm also praying for a QB drop. Lol currently FA are:

- Cousins
- Alex Smith
- Winston
- Luton
- Rivers
- Flacco
- Dalton

with the exception of maybe Rivers & Cousins, it's a wasteland out here

cousins is safe and won't hurt you this week vs dallas

i love jameis but i can't trust him in another new offense. granted its a prime matchup with atlanta.

I put in a claim for Taysom in leagues where he has TE eligibility. If I get him, I'll have to decide whether to play him over Jonnu and Engram. He has potential to be a boon as a TE if he's getting 8-10 rushes and a couple throws from QB and red zone usage, which all seems likely.

AB cut in 3 ... 2 ... 1

Never would've seen that one coming.

Would you roll Cousins over Burrow this week?

Was thinking about rolling Burrow and picking up Rivers, who has a double Houston matchup (weeks 13,15 and who besides last week have been giving up mad points) on the weeks that Burrow has bad matchups.

Buuuut Winston is enticing because it looks like Brees is out more than 1 week, and a stack with Kamara would be nice
