Which defense should I be starting this week?

Buffalo vs Ind
Tennessee vs Ari

Those seem to be the best of many bad options:


EDIT: jfc this team has a loving bye what is wrong with me

It’s still a perfect time to do a risk-free gut check of your fantasy “skills”. Example: I’m concerned that Golden Tate has a higher risk of underperforming this weekend because of Stafford’s hand. So I’m flexing in Crowell in for Tate and it won’t cost me anything because of the bye.

In your case it’s very even but the Bills playing at home have the edge.

0.5 ppr, Pick 3 RBs:

L Murray @ Car
Freeman vNO
Lynch @KC

Drake vNE

The dilemma: Freeman plays tonight and Drake plays Monday. Damien Williams may or may not play so I can't lock Drake into my line up. I like Murray, Lynch, and Drake as starters better than Freeman. I feel like I pretty much have to play Freeman no matter what..but in that case, who do I bench if Williams is out?

Pick two WRs and a FLEX (Standard):

Marvin Jones @ TB
Stefon Diggs @ Car
Jordan Howard @ Cin
Sammy Watkins vs Phi
Marquise Goodwin @ Hou

Leaning Jones/Diggs and Howard. Will probably sit Jones if Stafford isn't playing. Could see sitting Diggs for either Watkins/Goodwin though honestly. Also Howard has been dudding hard, so maybe I should just play 3 WRs? Ugh.

Our playoffs are two weeks so I'd rather have solid floor plays instead of big upside if that matters.

If Stafford plays:
Jones, Goodwin, Howard

If Stafford sits:
Goodwin, Watkins, Howard

Picking Goodwin over Watkins due to matchup even though Watkins is clearly the better receiver.

Murray is an easy sit for me this week against Carolina. I'd confidently start Freeman, Lynch, and Drake.

Would you still start Drake over Murray even if Williams plays? I am always fairly confident during regular season but playoffs is just pure self-doubt and anxiety. :ohdear:

I suspect Williams isn't going to play, but even if he does, yes, I would. I think Drake has earned that job now and even if Williams is available his usage will be scaled back. Drake is capable in the passing game.

I would swap Williams out for Howard. The Packers need the win too badly to risk anything by forcing a not-amazing guy back from injury into the game plan, even if it's against the Browns.

Lmao. My man.

That's what I was debating: Williams or Howard. Browns give up like 4.7 YPC and I think Williams is going to get the bulk share.

This actually solved my other problem and I'm flexing Josh Gordon over Howard in my other league.

On the other hand...

Cleveland actually has a decent run D and only allow 3.3 YPC, actually the best defense YPC in the league. The Bengals are allowing 4 YPC and allow the 5th most points to RBs..

I’m sitting the Rams this week, both GB and TEN are better options on paper.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Pick two RBs in half-ppr.

Freeman vs NO
Coleman vs. NO
Howard @ CIN
Bernard vs. CHI

Freeman has disappointed all year and I am wondering if its getting too cute playing Coleman over him. My thinking is that NO is going to get a lead and ATL will be forced to throw a lot, meaning Coleman would probably see more work than Freeman? I would go Howard/Bernard if everyone played Sunday since I would know if Mixon was out, but don't have that luxury.

He has a great matchup, isn’t your typical backup QB and already established chemistry with his WR1. I think you’ll/we’ll be fine.

Funchess may be competing w/ Olsen 2.0 for targets this weekend, so I'd go Diggs or Agholor probably leaning toward Diggs due to the number of mouths to feed in Philly. Unless Diggs is having migraines or has a sore toe, in which case play Agholor.

I agree as well. I dropped my backup TE for Bernard, thanks to another goon's earlier tip about him esp. given the Mixon situation. All my QBs suck, and I'm stuck with Big Ben so I really need Bernard to go off :smith:.

Bills get the edge due to the weather conditions, all other numbers (compared to the Jets) being about equal.
