If Melvin Gordon is a no go, would you guys start Justin Jackson @ KC over either of Dalvin Cook or Brandin Cooks in 1 PPR?

I think it's hard to say before James Conner's status is clear. i liked what Jaylen Samuels brought last week for my team (although I'm in a PPR league). I think if Conner is out I take him over Damien Williams... Damien's got the role with Ware being doubtful but there isn't really any evidence he can turn in an efficient performance is there?

Has anyone heard anything out of Pittsburgh about how the coaches felt about Jaylen Samuels?

I don't think so. You're talking about a third stringer over some really talented guys in the Cooks. Anything is possible when a guy gets the full reins in a high-powered offense (I guess that applies to both D Williams and J Jackson) but I wouldn't do it

In PPR it's probably Samuels, in standard probably a small lean towards Williams imo.

I'm more worried about Brandin Cooks as he's put up a couple not great scores in back 2 back weeks since his bye and are also playing the Eagles who will probably be without Wentz and likely may be a rout by halftime.

yeah that's a reasonable concern. Otoh Melvin Gordon still hasn't quite been ruled out yet. If you do go with Jackson over Cooks (not outlandish) make sure to keep an eye on that down to the wire

Yea Jackson plays tonight and the Chargers just promoted a practice squad RB, which got me thinking Gordon isn't gonna play. But i will probably check back right before game time to make sure.

Sanity check for me at WR. 0.5 PPR, pick two:

Mike Evans @BAL
Josh Gordon @PIT
Allen Robinson vs GB
Chris Godwin @BAL

I currently have Evans and Gordon in. And what about my flex?

Chris Carson @SF
Tarik Cohen vs GB

I have Mayfield right now but Josh Allen is a free agent. So I could swap them.

Seemed like Denver has given up a lot of yards in the air lately and I'm still wary of Josh Allen looking at some of his early season busts and the fact that no QB has rushed for any yards against Detroit. But most stuff I've read shows I'm going against the stream on this one.

Denver has at least one interception in all but four games this season, and they keep their games pretty low scoring (With a few exception). While I think Mayfield can have a good game, I don't think it will be a great fantasy game.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

What about Jackson over Ingram? Gordon looks almost definitely to be out tonight, and the Panthers have been stodgy against the run lately

I think I may be overthinking this

Assuming Gordon is out, Jackson is set for 20+ touches against one of the most favorable match-ups in the league. He is a bit of an unknown, but Rotoworld has him as a top 15 guy this week. Ingram is in a time-share against a much tougher match-up.

I'm leaning Drake or Anderson (since Enunwa is out) but man, this is just a big wet fart for the semifinals

Dude hosed poo poo up last week but look at almost every week before that. He might put up respectable points but I don't see how you pick him over Williams at the least. Maybe over Samuels if Conner can't go?

Seattle v San Fran

Both are tasty matchups and I'm having a hard time deciding. Seattle is trending up and if breida is out, that's good. Arizona is hot garbage though so I'm at a loss.

Alright, still looking for opinions here. Also, after my opponent's Keenan Allen got 0 points, should I still play Josh Allen over Baker Mayfield? Baker seems like the safe play here, but Allen definitely has the higher ceiling.
