Part of me thinks that doubling up on Murray/McKinnon against the trash Bengals could work but Davis is probably still the safer play. He's a good bet for scrimmage yards against the Rams even if he doesn't find the end zone.

2 weeks ago I clinched the #2 seed in my league rolling out pretty much an all purple line-up.

Keenum, Murray, McKinnon, & Rudolph

Same week Smith nearly equals their total points scored by himself (on my bench) lol.

Facing Fournette in both of my semi finals this week. Considering grabbing Ivory or Yeldon to block my opponents from Fournette's potential replacement. Who would you grab? Ivory? One is PPR and the other is 0.5

He said it shouldn't prevent him from playing but he still hasn't practiced this week. Don't really trust a player saying they're fine. I think he'll play but there's a non-zero chance he doesn't.

Hey guys. The fantasy playoffs have begun and I'm just trying to get another opinion on my lineup. Is this the team I should play? I'm mostly just wondering about my flex. Not sure what to think of Gore after a short week and being banged up. Thinking about Rod Smith...what do you guys think?

I'd play Burkhead over R. Smith and probably over Gore this week as well.

I'd also look to play a higher floor guy over Juju since he has a bum hamstring that has been hindering him these last few weeks.

Thanks for this. You'd play Burkhead even with Brady and Cooks rostered?

And Robert Woods is really my only WR option at this point besides Juju, and he is also coming off an injury (may not even play). Roll with woods?

I wouldn't be worried about playing too many Pats against the Steelers. Cooks and Burkhead score in different ways; Cooks' value comes from downfield passing and Burkhead's is from red zone touches. That game ought to have one of the highest point totals of the week and Brady always plays well against the Steelers so I think everyone should fire up their Pats this week.

And the concerns about Juju are legitimate. I would play Woods over him. Pats CBs have the size to match up with Juju and Bryant. Brown will likely see a lot of Malcolm Butler with Stephon Gilmore tasked with eliminating whoever is playing opposite him and we'll probably see a lot of Eric Rowe as the third CB. I think Gilmore will win a lot more than he loses in this one so I'm not optimistic about the secondary WRs in this one. Woods was really coming through for the Rams before his injury and while I would rather play Kupp than Woods this week, the Rams will probably be playing with their foot on the gas against the Seahawks so there's plenty of upside for the Rams skill players.

Berry, who was also auditioning for ESPN at the time, went on the strip club outing where he was photographed pointing at Sterger’s breasts.

The trip to the strip club “was not a smart decision, and I regret going,” Berry told the Globe. He also called the photo embarrassing.


Per Yahoo.

Maybe more details will surface, but this seems pretty tame. Not necessarily above repercussion, but still not as glaring as the many other accusations which have surfaced this week.

Jenn Sterger was the recipient of the Brett Favre dick picks.

Rereading this, it was during his audition for ESPN. Kinda supports the "boys club" mentality if people who aren't even with the company yet have to go to strip clubs.

Well looks like I’m going to be rolling out a mix of volume/trash RB’s in my semi-final matchup.

Why did DJ & Cook have to go and forsake me.

Rolling out:
Hunt
Davis (yes Mike)
Murray (Lactavius)

With K. Williams and Gallman on the bench lol.

Now with AP being on IR I’m tempted to look at Williams.

I’d lean Williams since I predict the Chargers to actually pass in their game script while Jax shouldn’t have to one bit.

It all depends on your scoring. Tackle heavy, passes defensed, interceptions, QB pressures....

If it's MFL just go to Reports->Player->My Top Performers and Free Agents


Then sort by position and then week 10-14 or whatever to see who has been hot lately or sort however you want.

Shoutout to my (I think goon) opponent in one league for sitting CJ Anderson last night with McKinnon and Gio in his starting lineup.

Shoutout to me for not checking the waiver wire after the JuJu news broke yesterday and leaving CJ Anderson as an FA when I could have had his 30 points (RBs/WRs get a hefty bonus if they hit 100 yards in this league) in my flex spot

Anyone think Diggs (or Thielen for that matter) get a slight upgrade with Rudolph out? Feels like Rudolph has been getting a ton of red zone looks lately.
