What's the consensus on position hoarding? Finals opponent has Hunter Henry and still hasn't picked up a replacement TE. Real tempted to drop my whole bench for TEs...

Andy Dalton has been benched the last 2 games. They’ve been dreadful all year. They’ve got nothing to play for. AJ Green draws Darius Slay.

...do i bench AJ Green?

Pick 3:

Julio Jones
AJ Green
Josh Gordon
Nelson Agholor

Agholor has been on a tear. Julio is in Vegas’s highest projected scoring game but draws Lattimore. Gordon will get 20 targets but 10% are catchable.

What the hell do I do with Jordan Howard? I'm terrified of starting him in the championship.

My only other choice would be to start Evan Engram in the flex, or grab someone off free agency.

Best available look to be:

Mike Davis
Theo Riddick
Sterling Shepard
Dede Westbrook
Marquise Goodwin
Bilal Powell
Kerwyn Williams
Keelan Cole


Thoughts?

Definitely play Dede over Howard.

That sounds like solid advice after last week.

Sorry you are stuck with Howard as I am with Evans this week.

He has a higher ceiling and higher floor than any of those listed. You just have to hope he does something.

Welp, well I guess I'm going to start either Bortles or Foles. Likely Foles since it's a home game and the eagles throw far more often. Was going to start Keenum but I feel like it's a trap game and the weather is going to be a factor.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

I'm predicting a good Howard week. It's a game the Bears could/should be leading and there's snow in the forecast. Give that man the ball 30 times.

God dammit, that is the most convincing argument I've seen yet for starting Bortles. :saddowns:

D/ST, Tucker, Collins, and Watson. My TE was Henry until he got hurt.

Half PPR.

Starting:
QB: Matthew Stafford (@Cin)
RB: Todd Gurley (@Ten), Mark Ingram (Atl)
WR: Julio Jones (@NO), Stefon Diggs (@GB), Keenan Allen (@NYJ)
FLX: Duke Johnson (@Chi)

Sitting:
Kirk Cousins (Den)
Amari Cooper (@Phi), Josh Doctson (Den)
Samaje Perine (Den), Tarik Cohen (Cle)

Thoughts? The flex is really the only question. Chicago is supposedly a top 10 defense against running backs, but 19th against wide receivers (and probably even worse given the historical scoring differential). I don't really see any better options since Cooper is facing Philadelphia, is coming off an injury, and WTF Oakland. Doctson might be interesting if Crowder is out but Denver is not an easy defense (and Perine faces the same problem). Cohen might be interesting but I think Johnson is a more proven option.

Any drive that ends in a Tucker FG or a Collins TD is one that Ben Watson doesn't score. I'd diversify.
