I think they're both excellent plays but in a full ppr format I'd have trouble sitting a stud receiver like Allen. The Raiders are going to score so this should be a high points game.

Akers has been vastly out-snapping the rest of the backfield in LA the last couple of weeks, it may be that he was always supposed to be the workhorse but his injury as a rookie slowed his learning curve. I'm hoping to ride him to a win, but he may hit the bench in the second half if the game is out of hand.

Thanks for the input!

Terrible way to snype a page, but here we are.

edit: Last question, it would be crazy to put Akers in my second flex spot over Michael Thomas, right? I assume the answer is yes, but last week it would have been the right play, and Thomas' matchup this week is brutal. Is Brees back yet?

Mostly I'm trying to see if there's a way to work my newly acquired Akers into my lineup for a good matchup. The answer is probably no.

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

0.5 PPR (1 PPR TE premium) pick 1 for FLEX

Hunter Henry @ LV
Nelson Agholor vs LAC
Brandin Cooks @ IND (if healthy)

Not that Henry has been great this year but is Agholor actually trustworthy?

I don’t think Gibson plays this week or the next. Turf toe is really tough for a RB. Sucks because he was getting primed to win people championships.

Yeah, I’m trying to not be too depressed about it, and focus on the fact that Gibson got me to the playoffs, and I’m happy about that.

Assuming Gibson is dead, need a flex replacement in half-PPR.

JK Dobbins vs. Jax
Diontae Johnson @ Cin
Tee Higgins vs Pit
Peyton Barber vs Sea

Would normally go Diontae but Dobbins is on the upswing and Diontae can't seem to catch passes lately.

Also, DST chat: assuming 49ers @ Dal is a slam dunk start over Chicago @ Min.

That's a tough one.

I think Thomas has a higher floor / lower ceiling and is a safer start for like, 10-15 points. Jefferson is big playmaker who plays against a decent defense with a quarterback who performs terribly under pressure, but also put up 17 last time they played.

It's hard to not roll out Jefferson at this point, I'd probably go with him.

Crazy-rear end question here....Im looking forward to W16 for me, which will either be the championship gane or 3rd place playoff....

Do I go with:

Russ vs. LAR
Mayfield vs. Jets

Wilson has been garbage the last 6 weeks after his incredible start with the exception of last weeks game where he was on fire but benched.

Am I overthinking it or getting too cute for the final game?

You don't seem to be comparing apples to apples. Wilson has very much been Not Garbage in terms of points. Mayfield has been hot, Russ has been down from his crazy highs but very much startable. Their point totals over the last 6 weeks look like:

Wilson 103.66
Mayfield 97.62

Mayfield is hot right now but there is a very good chance they just run the ball the whole time against the Jets. I don't think Cleveland really throws unless they have to. That being said, the Rams seem to have Wilson's number. I don't love that matchup.

Not crazy, I've been worried about the same thing for weeks. I'm even considering Hurts @Dal.

Just don't know if I have the balls to start Mayfield or Hurts over my every week QB1 though. I probably don't.

Thats a point differential of 1 pt per game (over the last 6) and Mayfield has a way better matchup....still dont know what to do. I guess wait and see how each plays this week?

I am projected to lose by 30, so I will need some upside here, as I post almost every offensive player:
I need at least 2 WR, 1 RB, choose 4, standard scoring:

Corey Davis vs DET
Smith-Schuster @ CIN
Lamb vs SF
DJ Moore @ GB (should be reactivated from COVID-19 this week?)

Gallman vs CLE
Dobbins vs JAX
David Johnson @ IND (should be reactivated from COVID-19 this week?)

Leaning Davis, Moore, Gallman, and Dobbins, though I am wondering if it is worth putting in Smith Schuster over one of the RB with the easy matchup. Dobbins is frustrating to watch when barely breaks double digit touches as Edwards gets the TDs, but it is a favorable matchup. I can see any of the WRs having a terrible game or a decent game, both Smith Schuster and Davis might not need to do much with potentially uncompetitive games (assuming Stafford is out). Davis seems to have the highest ceiling and the lowest floor, since when he busts it is not 5 or whatever, it is 0-1.

i'm here for the gangbang
My questionable team has somehow fluked into the semis. It is a 1ppr league and I’m looking to start a 1 flex. My starters are Lamar, Hunt, Drake, Evans, and DK. The options are:

Agholor v LAC
Hollywood Brown v JAX
Bowden v NE
Higgins v NYG

I also got Gibson (likely out) and Fournette (Jones may be out). Really not sure what to do with Agholor playing on the Thursday Night - so that may hurt me if Gibson can play. Any thoughts are appreciated!

D/ST me, std scoring:

TB @ ATL
TEN vs DET
KC @ NO
BUF @ DEN (Saturday game)

If Stafford sits, that’s an easy one. At least he has a 1pm game. But waiting would take BUF out of the picture, but Drew Lock’s recent explosion would worry me.

I think you would need to go BUF, Denver is bad and generally has a lot of turnovers. One decent game by Lock does not change that.

I'd go with your gut and start Gronk, too, but either way it's quite a dice roll.

.5 PPR, Pick 2 (current starters bolded) - Gallman vs Cle, McLaurin vs Sea, Claypool @ Cin, Gurley vs TB

This also sort of assumes that both Julio and M. Thomas suit up which is questionable (heh) at best

So I've got Kyler Murray and Ryan Tannehill for this weeks playoff game.

Murray has been disappointing since his shoulder injury but he started to look a little more like himself last week.

Tannehill has the better match-up in Detroit but they are somehow even worse against the run so I could see the gameplan being "Run Henry All Day Long".

What say you, Goons?

ATL has been good against the run and TB will probably use McCoy on early downs. Or not! Who knows! Arians is unpredictable, but there's a reason Fournette was a healthy scratch last week.

I'd probably go with DJ too.
