Sanity check: Tre'Quan Smith is a better play than Adam Humphries if Michael Thomas sits, right?

I went from Walker to Kittle to Eifert (BOY WAS THAT A GOOD MOVE) to Njoku to Brate to Howard to Ebron (then also picked up Brate again when Howard went down.)

I was an insane person who didn't learn, so i drafted Ebron in the last round of all my drafts. Probably could've just picked him up after the draft, but he was my only TE i drafted anywhere.

Thank god he paid off so i didn't have to have a revolving TE door in this years hell.

If you like getting 0 points, Tre is WR1.

This is Humphries easily IMO. Look at his numbers and targets the past 5 or 6 weeks. And they play the Saints in a likely shootout. and Lattimore will be on Evans. I'm high on Humphries this week.

I don't think I'd go that far, but I'm kind of fading Evans this week. He was great vs NO in week 1 but their defense has gotten a lot better. I'm still starting him over Godwin in one league but I think the other Bucs receivers get some love this week.

This doesn’t make sense. I agree Tre has not put up points lately, but when he does it’s a bunch.

As you pointed out, it’s going to be a shootout, touchdowns will abound.

If Thomas doesn’t play for the saints, then there will be more targets for Tre.

I think Thomas plays, and I also think they run the ball and pass to Kamara/Ingram a lot.

I like TreQuan as a player and a prospect but I don't think starting a guy who regularly puts up a literal 0 is a good idea for the fantasy playoffs. He could blow up any week but it's a risky play.

Start Tre'Quan if you are a massive underdog or are in Week 2 of a 2 week matchup and need to make up significant ground.

Otherwise the risk is too high imo.

Thomas is going to play.

Cam Newton says he might get shoulder surgery after the season. So far this week in practice he hasn’t used his arm. I’m a little nervous about him this week, and if they get eliminated from the playoffs I can see him being shut down for the season.

I’m still starting him until I hear anything but I’m dropping Gus Edwards for a backup QB so my opponents can’t get cute and steal them all if they hear some kind of news before I do.

Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield? I’m thinking Mayfield based on I think he’s less likely to lay a total egg and lose a week for me.

Do you have anyone else to drop besides Edwards? I kinda wouldn't drop Gus Bus for either of them.

Post your roster. There has to be someone better to drop than the Gus Bus.

WR Michael Thomas
WR Davante Adams
WR Josh Gordon
RB David Johnson
RB Nick Chubb
RB Dalvin Cook
RB Joe Mixon
RB Marlon Mack
RB Gus Edwards
TE Rob Gronkowski
TE Jaylen Samuels
Def Buffalo
K Greg Zuerlein

Don’t wanna drop Samuels just for fluke fake TE home run potential. Don’t want to drop Gordon because he’s my only backup WR. Gus is a little more expendable because of RB overflow and it’s full PPR which limits his ceiling.

Oh Jameis Winston is available too but the rest of the available QBs are garbage.

Right now I’ve got enough quality starters and am just angling for home run swings and catastrophe insurance.

If you don't start a fantasy WR1 against the Saints, giving up literally the most yardage and fantasy points to WRs over the season (according to fleaflicker and yahoo, anyway), you deserve what you get you're massively overthinking it :)

Would you drop Elijah McGuire, Theo Riddick, Alshon Jeffery, Bears DST, Dak Prescott, or Derrick Henry for Rashad Penny given that Carson was limited in practice?

One of RBs or WRs needs to be my flex.

This is sorta OCD but if you have a bye, put all the players on your bench. Then if one gets injured tonight/Sunday, you can drop him for a free agent. (on Yahoo, at least)

Agreed, if I had to pick one - I'd trust McGuire the least of those options going forward. I think just stick with what you got for now, Carson is likely to play anyway.

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
Thoughts on DSTs to hold through my bye for weeks 15 and 16? I currently have the Broncos but am concerned that the loss of Sanders is going to tank the offense too much even vs CLE and OAK. There are some good options w good schedules on the waiver wire:

Saints - @CAR, PIT
Jaguars - WAS, @MIA
Texans - @NYJ, @PHI
Patriots - @PIT, BUF
