here's a tough one for me

cam newton vs arizona
tannehill vs colts

tannehill was the obvious pick for a long time but the titans have been in such a tough stretch. he's definitely my guy going forward but this week i guess i have to go newton no? newton's actually been fairly consistent in the low 20s or high teens in scoring. just threw for a ton of yards last week so i guess his arm is OK?

Can't remember the exact stat but Arizona has been VERY generous to their opposing QB's. I think you have to go Newton in this matchup for his ceiling, but I think he also has a decent floor. I wonder how many touches Derrick Henry will get this game, which will have a big factor for Tannehill I think

For those wondering about MGIII, I think I'm gonna roll with Kamara, Ekeler and Brian Hill off waivers so I can sit MGIII. I think he benefits best out of this offense, since he can catch, take wildcat snaps and probably have 20+ touches, but is too volatile to touch if you can help it, IMO. I can see the Broncos having 0 TD and about 150 yards total this game, but MGIII may get half of those yards

My team got rekted by injuries and the China Virus this week (L Jax, Conner, Julio) so I may grasping at straws.


Play G. Benard v Giants or pick up Pittman v Titans. Open to any other long shot pick ups.

I like Pittman's outlook, but GIO is Active, so playable as well. May post a nice line with a TD possibility against the 24th ranked run D

as said above. i dig pittman but gio's much safer. i think he'll be on the field all day even if they fall behind with the backup QB

[hardestgainer]

Well, Fuller put up a 40 burger for me in my neighborhood league, so I think you should be OK, right?

my opponent (a guy with 1 fukn win) got 41 from gibson and a solid 17 out of duke tho lol


Flex ppr: Montgomery, Drake, Juju or Boyd (RIP Burrow)

ya know what. montgomery has been bad in real life but he gets it done in fantasy due to opportunity. packers brutal vs RBs. i'll go him just barely over drake.

boyd takes a hit without burrow. juju scares me with the injuries last week and the unreliable nature of that game even happening.

Cincy's offense is going to be worse than Denver's, although Gio and Boyd are the only guys worth considering as a desperation play.

[Dre4]

I'm sitting all my Steelers and Ravens players, full on assuming the game get's cancelled. Also saying fuk it and starting Hinton in two leagues as a flex.

Ouch. For your flex, I'd use Juju for upside, Monty for floor, Boyd as a compromise between the two (Juju being extra risky because the game could be canceled).

I need a WR and a flex between Boyd, D. Harris, and J Meyers. Right now, I have Harris definitely out and Meyers definitely in. Should I use Harris over Boyd? Boyd's offense is going to be terrible, but Pats RB usage is what it is, and with Michel active, I could easily see Belichik giving him 20 carries and 2 TDs and essentially benching Harris for no obvious reason. Full PPR.

harris loses a lot of appeal in a PPR and as you said with michel back it also brings back the unpredictable nature of new england RB usage

to me its more about boyd vs meyers. cam threw what, 360 yards last week? and targeted meyers 3 times. scary. i guess i'd give him another shot and hope that was just a weird game vs a sign of where he's at on the depth chart now

yeah ive got Mont in right now for the floor he has had and he's got a great matchup, Im just worried they'll be playing from behind all day. Juju would allow me to start him and Dj, guaranteeing I start whichever has a big game, but the matchup sucks and the Def has a few extra days to strategize now.

Id probably go boyd, I always hate starting any Pats players though

[WHChampion]

Never starting Derek Carr again for the rest of his career.

Same here. Can't fuking believe that ****. 4 fuking turnovers against one of the worst defenses in the league. Unbelievable.

[sfgiants13]

Tyreek about to save my season

Scratch that. Goff, Fournette, and Slayton have other plans.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

My one team picked a great week to absolutely tank..... Murray,Jacobs,Jonnu,McKissic all combined for barely 30pts. Lucky for me two others teams I needed to lose (if I lost) also lost, so it looks like I sneak into the playoffs. Best part is I lost against my wife

League 2, I have a shot to get the 6th seed if I win tonight and 1 of 2 teams ahead of me lose (5th and 6th place) Both are losing right now. I am down 9, and I have Goedert and Philly D playing tonight, he's done. I'm seriously considering benching my defense tonight and relying on 10pts from Goedert.

in a somewhat similar spot, the insistence of the packers to make this more of a 50/50 committee than an A and B with Aaron Jones and Williams is killing me

Yeah it’s absolutely maddening. Add in the fact that you need Jones to run it in from 5+ out because once you get to the goal line it’s almost a guarantee that the packers will throw it this year.

their whole plan with him changed once jones missed a couple games with the calf injury. heading into that he was a top dog at RB and since, he hasn't done a hell of a lot. he looks fine but they split work almost evenly now and as you stated, rogers really is going to throw it regardless of location on the field.

[bullybreed]

The way Kamara has been used with Taysom is maddening. It's ridiculous they don't incorporate him like they did with Brees. Luckily I've won in that league the last 2 weeks with Kamara putting up a combined 15.

nightmare of a week for QB streaming with carr, newton and goff

lol man newton looks shot doesn't he. he threw for 360 last week and he looked half asleep yesterday. even when he runs he looks out of gas. can't trust the guy going forward

he plays one play then another "package" is brought in.

it makes no sense.

none.

he was the #34 rb this week in points.

I do not want to live on this planet anymore....

Absolutely not. I'm streaming Tannehill ROS.

yeah i had to pick him up after the burrow injury and i'm definitely not going back to him, that was pathetic. i'd rather take my chances on guys like tannehill and cousins in run-heavy offenses. they at least have talent themselves and really good talent out wide that they can put up solid games.

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.

Chark will go down as one of the biggest busts of the year vs expectations. really thought he'd take a step forward because it's such a bad team and minshew and him seemed to connect well last season. i didn't know he'd become a once-a-month guy who pops off and then disappears.

i think i've posted ITT more about chark than any other player because it's never clear on when to start him or when he'll go off. now with their QB situation and his injury i'd say he's droppable.

[cullenmichael34]

Needed 12 out of SEA def, got 11. Lost by .48 to the owner of Latavius and Fuller, with my Kamara. What a slap in the face, considering he also started Samaje Perine and Fuller V popped for PEDs lol
