Ooh, that's a tough one. They both have big upside and good matchups. I'd probably lean Akers just because the team seems to be forming around him, as opposed to Davis just being the fill in, and the Jets being the better matchup, but I'm not sure there's a wrong answer there.

Can’t believe I’m asking this but

Herbert @ LV tonight without Williams and a limited Allen

or

Rivers vs HOU and their lovely defense Sunday

Right now I’ve got Herbert but as the clock winds down I’m getting antsy about it. If I played Rivers I’d be going all in on Indy vs Houston because I’ll have Taylor going too.

Nelson Agholor vs LAC
James Conner @ CIN

Salvon Ahmed and Gus Edwards are both on the Waiver Wire, too.

Herbert's been disappointing lately and I'm worried about him missing some weapons.

I like Nelson better than the other options but.... Thursday game.

Any thoughts on this before game time?

Pick one, .5 PPR Yahoo

T Lockett @ Washington
N Agholor vs Chargers
JK Dobbins vs Jax

Leaning towards Agholor. Lockett has really only had one double digit game since October and Washington will be tough.

Herbert but the reason it’s a hard pick is because Rivers and TY have gotten it together. Both are good options.

But go Herbert. He’s going to dink and dunk to Ekeler.

K. Allen is a go but will be on a rep count.

My only alternative are Tyler Boyd and Tyron Johnson. Allen is still the better option, right?

Thanks, that’s who I’m going to stick with I guess. I asked here and two other people and all three said Big Herbs.

What do you think about Rivers vs Watson? I guess DeShaun is always a threat to get it done but the matchup for Rivers and the resurrection of TY is tempting

Watson. Guys like Rivers and Big Ben don’t offer the same upside.

Just wanted to say thank you for this advice (Akers over Allen). Don't know what Akers will do, but it will likely be better than the almost nothing Allen did last night.

Thomas seems to have taken a turn for the worse on that ankle if it isn't gamesmanship. I went to go put him back in my lineup and then read the recent report and I'm still gonna wait until the last second.

Also people love to hate on the Chiefs defense but somehow they're number 2 against receivers.


quote:

Thomas (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Spin: With another absence under his belt this week, Thomas may be trending in the wrong direction as the Saints prepare for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. In the end, his listing on Friday's injury report will be telling with regard to his Week 15 availability. If Thomas is able to gut out the ankle injury that's followed him throughout the campaign, he could be working with Taysom Hill or Drew Brees (ribs), who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday.

Oh I'm with you. gently caress Michael Thomas. But at this point for my WR2 spot, after sitting Keenan Allen, it's either him or Robert Woods, and while it's a good matchup, I just can't trust Woods in a semifinal game, so come on down Michael Thomas.

I have to keep hope alive.

edit: Welp, gently caress me, right? Thomas is out.

Makes sense that Thomas is a bust until the end. I'm weak at WR and strong at RB, but no one trades in my league.

Pick two WR please. Half PPR.

Good morning!
Just can't make up my mind on D/ST. Holding WAS for next week and they may be a strong play this week...but my qb is Wilson.

Current start is TEN because of DET with Chase Daniels. But I could also snag SEA to go against Haskins. Feel like whatever decision I make will be the wrong one here.

Is Jalen Hurts worth starting over Tannehill? The matchup against Detroit is nice, but that game probably won't be competitive at all and I can see Tennessee just giving Henry the ball 30 times.

Also, I have Seattle in my DST slot, but Buffalo, Miami, and Tennessee are all available and have great matchups.

I'm going with Buffalo but who knows which Denver offense shows up.

I'm having trouble with these last 3 spots in my lineup. Non-PPR.

Fournette vs Gordon as my RB2 I'm leaning Fournette based purely on Melvin's injury. But then in the flex I sort of want to start Gesicki who I also want to start in the TE spot. Any advice would be great

I have the same dilemma and I'm starting Tannehill (6 pa TD). He has a safer floor and he's had big games against crappy defenses. Do you really want to depend on a rookie in his second ever start?

Julio is out and Ryan is usually no good without him. I agree that Cousins is the better play here.

I agree with this. Ryan has been top 3 in passing attempts all year but has put up garbage scores without Julio.

On that note, 6-pt passing tds.

No PPR, need a TE.

Irv Smith v Chi
Goedert @ Ari

Goedert didn't do a lot last week with Hurts, Irv has a plus matchup and no Rudolph. Last time the Vikings played the Bears they couldn't get anything going with Cooks until Hicks got hurt, so should have to throw it. Am I overthinking it to put Smith in? Vikings homer so I might be overly high on Smith.

I regret trading Jefferson and Hunt for CMC, though I'm still favored to win by 13pts against Mahomes & scrubs.

I see those as very close, but I would nudge toward TEN since I would rank them them fairly even with Stafford playing normally, but if he is not playing well due to injury or out at some point in the game I think it would tip the potential points to favor TEN.

I am leaning Lock because of Stafford's health, and I will not have a replacement since Lock plays first. Reports are saying Stafford is likely to play though.
