Watkins is not good enough to perform against shadow coverage from Patrick Peterson. Do not start Sammy Watkins.

Coleman is the most decent play of the three, but obviously this sucks for you.

Yes it's really quite bad. Currently leading my league in scoring yet out of the playoffs, I need wins!

Thanks for your help

Tennessee is my best bet, right?

I'm also starting Cooper Kupp over Nelson/Diggs, but neither has been reliable for like, two months.

Dunno, this seems like the perfect week to roll the dice on Hunt if you need the points. With West out and Akeem Hunt not really an issue to take touches against a softer Jets run D, and on the other side Aaron Jones is back to remake the dreaded Green Bay RB Committee against a surprisingly effective TB run D.

Tennessee yes. Diggs has a good matchup today, but so does Kupp so both are good plays.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I snuck into my playoffs, and managed to pick up Josh Gordon last week, so now I have what I guess would be a good quandary on who to sit/start. I'm trying to debate who to put in my RB2, WR2, and Flex spot. Here's who I've got:

RB - Crowell, Gore
WR - Gordon, Kearse, TY Hilton, Paul Richardson

My lineup right now is

RB2 - Gore
WR2 - Gordon
Flex - Crowell

Kearse and Hilton are playing against pretty good WR defenses, while Cleveland is up against GB, and Gore is up against Buffalo, who is apparently last against the run. Kearse has had two really good games in a row though, and I'm wondering if that will continue.

Best out of 71?
I managed somehow to scrape my way into the playoffs. 1 PPR

Choose 1 for QB

Jared Goff vs Phi
Ben Roethlisberger vs Bal

This is a toss-up for me.

Choose 3 for WR

Doug Baldwin @ Jax
Robby Anderson @ Den
Stefon Diggs @ Car
Amari Cooper @ KC
Corey Davis @ Ari
Josh Gordon vs GB

Leaning Gordon, Cooper and Robby, but I hate sitting Baldwin, even though hes up against Jacksonville. Davis has been pretty eh lately, and Diggs hasn't been the same since his groin injury.

Anyone else nervous about Russ against the Eagles this week? I’m in a win-and-in situation and can’t really afford a dud week. Was thinking of picking up Rivers to go against Cleveland as a one-week sub.

Quoting myself from a week ago regarding Russ against the Eagles. I did in fact pick up Rivers, but started Russ and ended up making the playoffs (the QB choice didn't play a role in me winning, really). Now I'm nervous about going up against Jacksonville. Thoughts? This one's a little tougher, as he's on the road. Rivers at home against Washington seems attractive.

Whoever wins this makes the last playoff seed and kicks the other out.

Question my judgement:

1) QB: I’m sitting Goff vs PHI for Garoppolo @ HOU

Reasons:

Against passing TDs: PHI is middle-third against passing TDs with 17. HOU is bottom-third with 23.

Against passing yards: PHI is middle-third with 2701 and HOU bottom-third with 2829.

Ugh. I may have talked myself out of this one. PHI has second-most passing attempts against them with 459 while HOU has third-least with 384. I believe that would be because opposing QBs have to throw more just to keep pace with the PHI offense.

Vegas lines: PHI vs LAR is the second-highest line with 50.5. SF @ HOU is 43.

2) I am sitting PHI @ LAR for CIN vs CHI

Less heartburn with this one. CIN vs CHI has the lowest line at 37.5 .

I swallowed a bug

Fitz vs TEN or Gordon vs GB? 0PPR, standard rules. Half tempted to put both in and bench Julio because apparently they are never going to throw to him despite the fact that he scores when they do.

I might be a little bitter, but you bet your rear end I've got Rodgers waiting to take Ryan's place once he's back in it.

I vote for benching Julio. He'll have to contend with Marshon Lattimore for most of the game, who is playing very well for a rookie CB and has the speed to match Julio. I don't think it's a big game week for him whereas Fitz and Gordon could see 20+ targets combined.

I need a home run this week to advance to the championship game. 2 week playoff rounds and I'm down 27.4 going into this week so I'm probably dead but I've got to try.

Here's my current starting set up and my bench:

.5 PPR

QB: Jared Goff v PHI
RB: Kareem Hunt v OAK
RB: Alex Collins @ PIT
WR: Josh Gordon v GB
WR: Sterling Shepard v DAL
TE: Cameron Brate v DET
FLEX: DeMarco Murray @ ARI
DST: Bengals v CHI
K: Greg Zuerlein v PHI

Bench:
Derrick Henry @ ARI
Danny Woodhead @ PIT
Jordy Nelson @ CLE
Austin Seferian-Jenkins @ DEN
Ben Roethlisberger v BAL
Emmanuel Sanders v NYJ
JuJu Smith-Schuster v BAL

Is there anything I can/should do? This team was a lot better before Andy Reid forgot how to use Hunt and all of the Denver QBs forgot how to play football.

Made the playoffs barely through AB's efforts last week!

First week of playoffs, in a full PPR league and am having trouble with the following:

TE
Austin Seferian-Jenkins or Charles Clay? Brate is available to pick up right now if he's better than both options.

Flex
T.Y. Hilton, Tevin Coleman, or I could pick up Sanu or Sammy Watkins instead.

Thoughts anyone?

MacheteZombie

If you're rostering both tes already I'd drop clay for brate. For who to start, leaning Brate. Winston loves him for some reason.

ASJ ain't bad and Denver has been bad against tes iirc. He's just gotten super unlucky with tds.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

first game of the playoffs, 1 PPR, allocating my 2RB/2WR/1FLEX thusly:

Kamara @ ATL
Gordon vWSH
Demarco @ARI
Woodhead @PIT

Hill vOAK
Fitz vTEN
Robby Anderson @DEN
Marquise Lee vSEA
Rishard Matthews @ARI

flex is Josh Gordon vGB

Broncos got wrecked by Cutler and the fins. The Denver offense looks so bad and it's basically ruining that defense.

It could be a bounce back game where the dst holds up, but it seems unlikely to me, Trevor, Brock, n Paxton are still there qbing so I'm guessing a lot of 3 n outs.

e:
Kinda waffling on my DST pick this week (Bal @ Pit)

I have the Lions @TBB I can swap in or I can go pick up Bills vs IND or Jets @Den.

I think Bills vs IND might not be too bad, but not sure if it's better than the Ravens DST.

I think the QB one is a tossup, but I would lean Goff. Garoppolo is still an unknown at this point, and Phi has still had games where they gave up a lot of points to QBs. Houston is pretty bad though, tough decision.

I think you're definitely right on picking CIN against CHI. CHI doesn't turn the ball over much, but they don't score at all. It's at least a way less risky option.

I'd say the opposite -- NO has had a decent season on defense, but they've been allowing top WRs to put up points against them fairly consistently. I think the WR1 on the last 3 teams they've played -- none of whom are nearly as good as julio -- has put up 14+ points. (funchess 14, watkins + kupp over 14, 3 redskins WRs at 10+...). Before that they did well vs buffalo, tampa with a backup QB, chicago, and a rodgersless GB, but both DET WRs 18+ points.

I feel like their defense is currently overrated because they had a long string of bad offenses.
