Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Lindsay @ BUF
Jacobs @ NYJ
Scarbrough @ WAS

Pick two.

Normally I go Lindsay/Jacobs, but the Jets are good vs the run, and Bo has the best matchup despite worst personnel situation.

Ballage @ Cleveland
Latavius Murray vs. Carolina
Mostert vs. GB

Standard scoring. With Mack hurt, I need to start one of these three. Ballage has the clearest role but also sucks and is against a decent defense. Murray and Mostert are both the wrong half of a committee (assuming Breida sits) but should still see around 10 carries against bad run D’s.

DK @ PHI
Scarbrough @ WSH

Kind of leaning Scarbrough here due to the match up, but I'm tempted to go DK since I might need a big score to overcome Saquon, Jacobs, & Evans on my opponents side. Really kicking myself for not putting Jonathan Williams in at flex on Thursday. 36pts just laughing at me on my bench...

Id go with Mostert cause he's the only explosive guy there with even a prayer of throwing down a long run. Ballage is a waste. Murray is reasonable, probably the smartest play, I just like mostert.

Don't touch ballage, seriously.

I’m looking at matchups for DST. I have LAR rostered and am considering streaming ATL in their place this week.

ATL has really come around the last two weeks and are playing the turnover machine that is Jameis Winston.

LAR has been OK, but against Baltimore I’m worried that it’s going to be a high scoring affair.

I would roll the dice on Atlanta. Baltimore is terrifying this year. It’s always possible they’ll hit a roadblock but based on what they did to the Pats, I don’t think it’ll be the Rams.

Hunt might get as many targets as Parker and any team has the potential to give double digits carries to the backup RB against Miami. I'd probably run with Hunt here.

DK @ Philly or Hunt vs Miami for a flex in full PPR? I’m starting Lockett also, but I’m also starting Driskel and Scarborough so I’m thinking I need to play DK for a chance of him putting up 18 or so

I don’t see a problem with this because the redskins are horrible. And now josh norman is playing again after reportedly being a healthy scratch so the redskins are making GBS threads themselves already and it’s not even noon

That all sucks. I don't see any home runs in there, a lot of potential for less than 5 points.

My gut says Guice cause Carolina just lost Dontari Poe, but I don't know how his timeshare with ADP is.

David Johnson and Barber are both likely to ride the bench all game with a slight chance of putting up 15 points if they get the hot hand.

Mack is still hurt but Hines seems to be behind Williams so he feels least startable to me.

Honestly you're hosed.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i know this is gonna be "why should i do your homework for you" territory but oh man i am totally just lost here

It's the last week of the regular season and I'm still in the hunt for the last playoff spot, and I'm trending upwards, i even got the highest points for the week the first time in week 12! but now i've got a roster of a bunch of guys whose ranges are all right near each other and I don't know who to start.

It's a two QB league with two RB/WR spots and a TE spots and 4(!) flex spots. 1PPR, with 1.5 for Tight Ends.

RBs: David Johnson was my signature back coming into the season but he's dead now so my one surefire starter is Mark Ingram, and after that it's... rough.

Mark Ingram II vs SF
Ronald Jones @ JAC
Benny Snell vs CLE
Latavius Murray @ ATL

David Johnson vs LAR
Chase Edmonds vs LAR

WRs: My two "best" (highest average PPG) receivers are TY Hilton and Robert Woods, but Hilton has been injured recently and Woods had that random last-minute scratch a couple weeks ago so they're far from sure things.

TY Hilton vs TEN
Robert Woods @ ARI
DeVante Parker vs PHI
DK Metcalf vs MIN

Robby Anderson @ CIN
Cole Beasley @ DAL
Deebo Samuel @ BAL

Are the guys I've bolded the ones I want? I really still feel skittish about starting either of the Cardinals backs but Anderson/Beasley/Deebo are all tempting but I don't know who I would put them over.

Leperflesh

Ches Neckbeard posted:

OK. Well his average in full PPR is still (just eyeballing it from my league's .5ppr) like 7-8 points? Ish? And he has one TD the whole season. His floor is like 4 points and his ceiling (excluding a flukey TD) is like 10.

So I would still call that a desperation play. But Peyton Barber has completely lost the job to RoJo, DJ seems to be in a similar funk/loss of job situation, and Guice has played like three games this season, is reputed to be the starter now, but vs. Carolina is not an exciting matchup to test that theory, and it's the redskins, they're garbage and will wind up way behind and the RB will be game scripted out of the game by the mid third quarter as a result.

I hate your options but if I want a sure 4+ I'm taking Hines, if I want like a 25% chance of a big 10+ points I'm taking Peyton and I honestly just can't even guess what the odds are with Guice, it's a shot in the dark. Watch the news on DJ and unless you see something from the team that says he's going to play, you can't start him, period.

I got no opinion on anderson or beasley, but Deebo feels like a regression this week. Emmanuel Sanders and George Kittle were both basically being eased back in last week, but they should get a lot more snaps and start hogging more targets against the ravens; also, that's the toughest matchup for the niners this year and with the Ravens D, expect Jimmy G's accuracy to plummet. He has not shown to be a good passer when the pass rush is getting to him. Deebo could get you 20 points but he could also get you 4.

Not sure I want to start Montgomery or drake but also not confident in Gurley juju or either Williams at this point anyone have a different opinion?

Drake seems like a tempting play, except that Edmonds is supposed to be back this week. I don't know if he'll take the lion's share of the work load but he's got to at least steal some touches.

And if DJ is active again you'd think they would eventually use him like at least once or twice. So weird how they've dealt with him this season.

Need some RB thoughts, 0.5 PPR:

Carson vMIN
Singletary @DAL

Johnathan Williams vTEN
Rashad Penny vMIN
Damien Williams vOAK

Worried about Carson, Penny got all the touches after he fumbled YET AGAIN Sunday and he's going against the MIN defense. NE gashed the Dallas D so I'm pretty comfortable with Singletary. Johnathan Williams just feasted last Thursday.

I’m in the same boat except with NE and I mean, this time of year you kind of have to don’t you? Knowing what we know about Miami and Cincinnati weighed against the Ravens (gulp) and the Saints? Then again if any team can slow Lamar down it’s gotta be SF..

No top tier options here. Good matchup for Woods but phew, it is hard to trust the Rams offense right now. McLaurin is the WR1 but on a putrid offense. Sanu might not even play and is in a late game and while Conley has the best match he's the 3rd option on that Jaguars team.
