I need as much upside (ceiling) as possible as my opponent had Denver D and E Sanders.

I'd take Prescott, Smith or Darnold over Eli. He has two great skill players and is otherwise utterly out of ideas.

e. oh yeah I forgot Eli has the Falcons D, please disregard.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Out of all those guys, Eli is your best bet for a big game.

I just noticed that Brock Osweiler looks kinda like the sociopath FBI agent in Ozark.

Sympathies as my opponent had the same. I think Manning is probably your best bet despite himself. Falcons D can't stop anything and the Giants will probably have to throw it a ton. Dallas decided to let Dak run a bunch last week and it worked out for him, so there's some upside there? I think it's between which of those you'd trust more.

0.5 PPR, otherwise regular scoring. Help me pick two WRs!

TY Hilton v BUF
Michael Crabtree v NO
Sterling Shepard @ ATL
Sammy Watkins v CIN

TY has the worst matchup but is the best receiver and likely to be the most targeted

All the other receivers have excellent matchups but with Shepard I worry about Eli in general and Engram stealing targets.

Watkins could have a great game but he’s competing against Hill, Kelce, and Hunt.

Njoku for sure and then I'd probably go Shepard until we see how Engram looks.

Full PPR, need an RB2 and Flex.


Tevin Coleman vs NYG
Sammy Watkins vs CIN

Marvin Jones @ MIA
Duke Johnson @ TB
Ito Smith vs NYG

Leaning bold. Feels like a potential blowup spot for Watkins, although so did last week. Tempted by Duke because of the Tampa matchup and maybe he gets a little extra run and they ease Chubb in a little.

alright, I should be sitting Hyde because he probably won't play this week because of the trade, right?

in that case, I need an RB2 and a Flex. 0.5 PPR.

Tarik Cohen vs. NE
Kerryon Johnson @ Mia
Alex Collins vs. NO
John Brown vs. NO
DeSean Jackson vs. Cle
Sammy Watkins vs. Cin

right now, I'm leaning Cohen in RB2 and John Brown for Flex.

But maybe I put Kerryon in flex instead?

i put my trust in you football goons.

Definitely don't trust Howard, Cohen seems to be taking over in Chicago. Hilton is just coming off an injury and has a tougher matchup, but is the better player and has a better QB. Brown has an easier matchup, but hasn't done much the last few weeks after a fast start. I'm playing the worst team in the league, but also started David Johnson who put up a big 6 points to start the week.

Golladay is definitely an every week starter.

I think I would go Callaway.

Yeah I'm going with Yeldon there for sure. Callaway was my choice but it's been a bit complicated by Calvin Ridley definitely playing on Monday. I've never started Callaway before, he's a recent addition and I know he's not exactly reliable in terms of scoring. But I guess it's worth a try, especially playing Tampa but I'm still hesitant.

Anyone else got an opinion on Callaway vs. Ridley vs. Albert Wilson in 1PPR?

I would say John Brown. Definitely a bit boom or bust but if he gets a couple big plays it'd be worth it. If there was more competition than Howard (I'm not starting him, don't trust him at all) and an injured T.Y. against an ascendant Bills defense I might feel differently.

I think Cohen is a no-brainer here even in .5 PPR. John Brown is probably the safer play over Johnson, that game could easily end up a shootout and he's been generally putting up some decent points. Kerryon has potential against a poor Miami run defense but the other running backs tend to take away touchdowns, he's only got one on the year and it was receiving. He could easily have a big game but to me John Brown has a better chance of doing so.

Sanu is off the Q status and will play. Still put in Crabtree over Sanu (or Goodwin vs. the Rams)? .5 ppr.

Sanu seems more likely to get you a touchdown imo but he only saw two targets last week, whereas Crabtree’s going to see a lot of looks. Seems like a ceiling vs floor decision on how you feel about your matchup.

If Melvin Gordon can't go, is it worth starting Ekeler (vs TEN in London) over either McCaffrey (@PHI) or Murray (@NYJ)?

Yeah that makes sense. I'm playing from behind so I guess I need a home run.

e. Sanu had 4 receptions for 36 yards, a TD, and a 2-point conversion against the Saints in week 3. Dunno if much has changed in that backfield but I think I'm going to have to lean on those odds.

I would definitely start him over Murray, the Chargers are going to score early and have the ball a lot. Probably not CMC though.

Who should I flex this week? .5ppr

Allen Robinson vs NE (currently sitting in my lineup, but these reports that he’s possibly not at 100% are troubling)
Marlon Mack vs BUF (Hilton is my WR2 so I’m a bit wary of stacking)
Goodwin vs LAR (he looked awesome last Sunday)

I also still have Chester Rogers and Kearse is available on the wire if he’s a better option than any of the above.

Should I drop Matt Breida or Latavius Murray to make room for Nick Chubb in a standard scoring league?

Another league has 0.5 PPR for RBs and 1 PPR for WRs. With that in mind, who should be my flex play out of:

Jarvis Landry @ TB
Tarik Cohen v NE
Tevin Coleman v NYG
Calvin Ridley v NYG
Will Fuller @ JAX

?

Currently have Landry in.

Same question but Ekeler over Alex Collins (vs NO) or Tarik Cohen (vs NE). Cohen is on the waiver wire and I would be dropping Collins for him.

When they say "game-time" is it like one hour before, or what?

Pick 2, standard scoring:
McCoy @ IND
Chubb @ TB
Hopkins @ JAX

I know Hopkins does not belong since DSYS, but I just added him since he will be covered by Ramsey, other receivers are healthy to draw more targets, and both RB have really favorable opponents.

Currently have McCoy and Hopkins in, but right now it is mainly trying to guess game script to figure out which RB will be most productive. I can see any of the 3 getting 25 or 4.

Seems reasonable. Most projections are going to be pushing Howard ahead of all those RBs no matter how many 4 point weeks he gets.
