I feel like I just saw this question elsewhere, but I have a couple leagues where I have the choice between Lamar Jackson v PIT and Justin Herbert @ DEN. Am I crazy for thinking Herbert over Jackson?

I have this same dilemma and am planning on Herbert depending on the weather. I don't think Jackson is going to get the rushing yards/TDs that have been holding up his fantasy scores lately.

This is a hard one. Half-PPR.

Diontae Johnson in a tough matchup @ Bal
Leonard Fournette in a cake matchup @ NYG
Tee Higgins in a shootout / blowout vs Ten

Pick two. Currently rolling out Diontae and Higgins - not sure if I fully trust Fournette's touches yet.

Allen vs NE
Bridgewater vs. ATL

I am leaning Bridgewater atm.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Am i stupid for wanting to start Tannehill instead of Jackson this week?
Pittsburgh has been tough to score against and Tannehill has a great matchup against the Bengals.

If nothing magically improves with the QB situation in Dallas I’d go Foles

Need 2 flex spots. .5 PPR

Justin Jackson @ Denver
Chase Claypool PIT @ Baltimore
Jonnu Smith TEN @ Cincinnati

Already starting Conner and (hopefully) Diontae Johnson from the Steelers and AJ Brown from Tennessee. If Michael Thomas plays it’ll save me from this mess but that’s doubtful

Ouch. If Allen Robinson plays (he is in concussion protocol) then I agree with Keith about playing Foles, I guess.

I'm a huge Jonnu fan so I would lean him if it were me. Claypool posted negative points vs a worse D last week so he still seems inconsistent to me and I dont trust the Chargers backfield. Its tough though because as a TE Jonnu could also be just mediocre for the third time this year (once so far because of injury, other was vs Steelers I think?), but as the second receiving option on the team I think he's your safest bet.

Non-PPR and need 3 WRs among:
Tyler Lockett vs SF (5th against WRs)
Mike Evans @ NYG (20th)
Kevin Golladay vs IND (13th)
Tee Higgins vs TEN (27th)
Marquise Brown @ PIT (25th)

Basically wondering if I should start Higgins over one of the top three.

I'm not enough of an expert to confidently say what you should do, but if I were in your shoes I would start Higgins over Evans because the Giants are so bad the Bucs might stop throwing halfway through the second.

Well, someone has to get them points to rest their starters, might as well be Evans with Godwin out. I would probably go with the top 3.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
Pick one:

Evans @ NYG
Agholor @ Cleveland

I'm probably overthinking this - don't sit your studs and all - but is Agholor worth consideration here? Evans is still banged up and Brady's hasn't been sending many passes his way - just four targets in the last two games. On the other hand Godwin is out and the Giants suck poo poo.

I'm benching Evans this week. Just can't trust him anymore. Antonio is making his first start for the buccs this week if that influences you at all.

I like that play. Find the most WR-weak guy in your league and make an offer

Couple of quandaries this week:

Josh Allen vs Patriots
Ryan Tannehill @ Bengals
(Strongly leaning Tannehill)

Pick 1 for flex, .5ppr

WR Stephon Diggs vs. Patriots
WR Amari Cooper @ Eagles
WR Brandon Aiyuk @ Seahawks
(Leaning Diggs from a DSYS angle, but Aiyuk is interesting)

As much as I'm comfortable with rolling with the top three, this Anderson matchup tonight is so delectable. Am I at all wrong to keep him benched?

PPR, pick a flex:
Gio Bernard v Titans
Ceedee Lamb @ Eagles
Dobbins v Steelers
Rashard Higgins v Raiders

Henderson joins the flex consideration if Aaron Jones plays. I don’t like sitting Lamb but Dallas is just a mess right now and he does need a QB. Dobbins still feels like wait-and-see. Higgins has half the projection of Gio but I’m open to arguments either way.

Bourne is in the better offense vs the worse defense but who knows if he even get used much. Meanwhile Perine is taking more snaps from Gore but the Jets will almost certainly be down by a billion and have to throw.

Is Perine their pass catching back? I don't think Gore was ever much of a receiver, was he? Bourne scares me so I am trying to look for an excuse to say go with Perine because I feel like he is guaranteed some touches while Bourne might not even see a Target.

Gore could catch and was getting 50+ receptions a year when he was younger, so similar to a RB like Elliot or Cook. I mean, now he is ancient and does not have many receptions, but he was seen as a 3 down back who could catch 10 years ago.

Gio and then Higgins imo. The raiders game could end up with points on both sides and help net Higgins some value.

I have no idea. It doesn't look like they throw to any of their backs much. At the very least Perine only has a couple of targets every week. Might roll with him just because Gore has a Q. :shrug:

Hi, fellow bad choices including Jets RB buddy!

Patrick at least has some time in that offense. Of course he has a bad hammy. Perine probably has the better floor but I'd imagine Higgins could go off for more. Basically Higgins if you're desperate and willing to gamble on him getting a long TD.


I have another question! Need a flex from these sub-optimal choices. Full ppr.

Jared Cook @CHI
Jimmy Graham v. NO
Mooney v.NO
M. Jones v.IND

Feel like it's really a coin flip between Cook and Graham. Of course both of the #1 receivers on those teams are out.

Is the Chiefs backfield just an avoid until everything shakes out a bit more clearly? I'm looking at CEH vs Myles Gaskin in one league, and CEH vs David Montgomery vs Gio Bernard vs Le'Veon Bell in another. The Jets are a really nice matchup, but the range of outcomes for CEH and for Bell seem much greater than any of the others.

McKinnon didnt do anything last week because last minute Shanny decided to let Jeff Wilson get the start and all the carries. Wilson is ruled out, Mostert is still hurt, and Coleman is still on IR so its him or Hasty. I'm starting McKinnon because I dont have anyone else and I'm really hoping he gets the majority of the carries...
