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.
Yeah it might get them a couple extra targets. McKinnon probably sees the biggest upgrade as a checkdown option.

Rudolph out again today, for those rostering him. Looking doubtful for Sunday so make moves as appropriate.

Real glad I picked up Henry earlier this week for reasons that I can't recall right now.

Welp...

Davis, Witten, Olsen, Brate, Kroft, or Howard?

Any suggestions?

I’m leaning Ebron in my league (I know you didn’t mention him but figured he might be available in yours). Lions o-line is banged up so maybe he’ll get some quick checkdowns? Sucks because as previously mentioned, I only have $1 left for waiver pickups (no FA in my league, need $1 minimum to pickup anyone) and I wanted to pick up Saints DST. Oh well, rolling with Chargers.

I have questions!

If Fournette doesn't play... I roll Yeldon right? My other choice would be Derrick Henry. Full disclosure: I am starting Murray currently.

EDIT: THERE'S A THREAD FOR THIS, DUMBASS!


Yesterday was the all-time high for our goon project traffic. One might think this was largely due to our popular NFL Rules and Franchises quiz, but everyone ITT knows the real reason: CMike Davis. Thus, we are instituting a policy of all-CMike Davis, all the time. Which must've made it hard for Spoeank to do his writeup on what was hilarious about Thursday Night Farceball and also his Start or sit Jordy Nelson and WR Sleepers. But I'm sure he worked him in there somewhere, we are, after all, FootMike Absurdity Football AbsurDavisity ... we're still workshopping this.

Matt Forte is a game time call as well. Add Bilal Powell if you need a flex, or simply to block a RB-needy opponent.

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

My opponent has Rudolph and Fournette. They have almost no one on their bench anywhere decent enough to fill in and the waiver wire kind of sucks too. If neither play, I might have the finals wrapped up before games even start.

He's 59% owned, and if both Forte and McGuire are out then he's at least a flex regardless of who is at QB. Especially in PPR.

I am having an odd year where things are constantly falling my way, so right now I expect to lose this matchup by 0.2 points so the universe rights itself. I completely lucked into the playoffs while being 11/14 total points scored for the season. I'm in a two week playoff round, and last week I ended up being 26 points ahead, partially because my opponent has Kamara, and she got like 2.6 points before he got knocked out. I also had Gore and McCoy last week, so those two rushed like crazy because of the snow. I am really trying hard to not get my hopes up though.

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

Hey. Hey! HEY!!

Gio wasn't in my lineup. I had put Mixon back in. (I still would not have played CJ Anderson. He's been utter poo poo for most of the year. I need several huge days to win, and McKinnon has the higher ceiling to me.)

Also, I am incredibly amused that I'm even in the semis, let alone the playoffs with this garbage team. Yahoo is giving me a 27% chance to win, and I actually felt better seeing that high a number. :lol:

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
Are we trusting Rodgers to be Rodgers? In both leagues I was ablr to snatch him off waivers a couple weeks ago so I feel like despite coming back from being out for a while on the road against Carolina that he is a must start, yea?

I have Rivers and Cam I am starting him over.

I also stashed Greg Olsen but he has been awful :(

If it appears that Leonard Fournette will not play on Sunday, should I swap in Chris Ivory (which worked for me earlier in the season) or move Rex bulkhead from Flex and place Josh Gordon in there?

In PPR leagues though, Gio should be a pretty safe floor play. The more lopsided the game gets, the more dumpoffs he'll see. He had 6/68 receiving last game and all of it came in the second half; 4/66 came after the score was 33-7.

The Vikings are good at stopping passes to RBs though, ranked 3 in DVOA on Football Outsiders. Gio is playable only in 1PPR, but upside is limited.

It's 1PPR and I would have to either bench Collins, Mike Davis, or Mike Evans.

I think it'll be more about the game script than the Vikings defense. If I thought the Bengals could contend in this one, the Vikings would force them to fight for every yard and it would be a tougher draw for Gio. But if the Vikings control this one easily from the beginning, they'll likely play softer zone coverages as the game goes along and we'll start seeing more nonthreatening plays on short options to eat up time.

I don't think he finds the end zone but I think he's good for 10+ in PPR. Won't hit 20 but 10+ will work depending on the lineup.

What does everyone think about Jamaal Williams? I know he should theoretically have a better outlook with Rodgers back but it's a bad matchup and I feel like it's going to be more of a timeshare with Jones that it seems. In 0.5 PPR I'm sort of leaning Dion Lewis (with 1/20 return yard scoring) or even Mike Davis.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
He's the workhorse. He's clearly outplaying Jones. He takes a small hit with the matchup, but A-Aron coming back is only good news for him.
