Have Mattison in one league and facing Cook in another so of course this happens.

League I have Mattison in, I'm 2nd in PF and still probably out of the playoffs if I lose, though I think there'll be some tiebreakers to sort through. At least in the other one I'm locked into my playoff spot.

I'm a little nervous about Dak's performance of late. Would it be crazy to roll the dice on Taysom Hill as a replacement? I'm out of the playoffs, but would like to win the consolation bracket.

Taysom is a points machine no matter how badly he plays so I’d be fine with it.

With Hurts on his bye do I want Derek Carr vs KC or Teddy Bridgewater vs DET? KC's D has been playing well lately but I think I'd still prefer Carr?

I hate both of these options but Carr. If Denver gets a lead they're going to run the ball as much as they can.

Yeah I hate it too. I'm inordinately annoyed at this league where its 12 team redraft with 1 qb starter and every team except mine has 2 qbs, if not 3, rostered.

I'm also torn about dropping Minshew since him and Hurts are both on a bye and I'm terrified that I'll drop Minshew because Hurts will likely be healthy after the bye, only to find out they named Minshew the starter...

I'm starting Cam (in superflex), since he's playing the Falcons. He got crushed by Miami but they have a strong defense (if it wasn't already evident by them embarrassing Buffalo). As much as I love Carr, I've watched too many Raiders games this season to trust their o-line or playcalling. They simply can't keep drives alive against strong defenses. Just look at their last game against KC a month ago (https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/401326477): only a single drive greater than 5 plays, and it was in garbage time (down 41-14) and they STILL couldn't convert for a TD. Same problem the following week against the Bengals.

Cook is either going to have:

B: 5 yards and a fumble, then leave the game for his shoulder again

The second one. But they will also put him in on 3rd down to block and aggravate his shoulder more too.

Cook looks good. Jefferson looks fantastic!

My opponent in a win and win in the playoffs game only had Hurts/Minshew as his QBs so I swooped up Cam who looked like the best possible option. My opponent picked up Big Ben, which seemed great until the 4th quarter :rubby:

What’ve the Eagles DST or Goedert done for you lately? The former hasn’t been super great, and the latter had a great game with Minshew under center and Hurts will be returning after the bye.

What’s the rest of your roster look like, RB and WR wise?

Ok folks, rules question that has come up in a league.

Team A is playing team B this week. A win/loss for team A could affect the playoffs; team B is out entirely. Team B has completely emptied their entire lineup and isn't responding. Do I, as commissioner:

1. Force team B's lineup same as last week
2. Same thing but with highest projected points players in place of O players (e.g. Eli Mitchell)
3. Force team B to have the highest projected players
4. Do nothing, team A gets the auto win

I'm thinking 2 but I am not sure.

You don't need two defenses and the Packers are solid. Cut the Eagles. You don't want to cut Goedert in case Waller has a setback.

I think the leagues I'm in usually have a clause for this that allows them to set lineups based on FantasyPros consensus rankings for the week. That's what I'd go with, since it is an aggregate and allows for the most unbiased approach.

Pretty specifically called out that was due to Minshew. Are you willing to bet he’ll get that many looks when Hurts is back in after the bye?

I wouldn’t, at least not in the playoffs, when you win or go home.

Edit: And the person I was replying to already has Waller and isn’t starting a TE because they don’t want to drop anyone. When you’re clamoring for a playoff spot, or even better seeding, gotta cut dead weight loose to get a win if needed.
