They would have been the difference between assuredly beating the top team this week vs *maybe* defeating the top team based on Kupp.

All the reasons to not start him were there--his touches were declining, he rushed for 0 yards against an inferior defense the week prior, Tampa Bays run defense is very good, the Mahomes-Brady thing. I really need six points and can still choose between cam Akers and Jeff Wilson. I guess week one means I have to go with Wilson.

I'd go Wilson here too. Not touching the Rams backfield situation.

Lockett @ NO
Mostert @ NYJ

My instinct says Mostert, since Saints in theory can cover well and you know, the Jets.

I'm going Mostert here but I was burned by Lockett being massive boom or total bust 2-3 years ago so I can never trust him again.

TLaw for sure. The Broncos offense is not good. I'll admit I feel like I'm YOLO-ing it with starting TLaw and dropping Rodgers this week.

I was not inclined to draft Sanders but he fell really far so I took a flyer on him and now he's been on my bench for the good weeks and playing in the bad weeks so I'm really torn. CMC is a must start unless i hear compelling reasons not to start him, I like Lenny against Atlanta, and I'm iffy on Hall vs Mia because even with Bridgewater in at QB Miami might race off to a big lead and get away from the run, and Sanders against Ari sounds like a good matchup so I expect him to do jack poo poo but I feel like he should play. Blegh.

I picked Nyheim Hines up off waivers for this week to deny my JT owning opponent and I'm very tempted to start him in my flex slot to rub it in.

My other main options for flex are Chris Olave, AJ Dillon and Tyler Lockett. What's the best option under standard scoring?

The Colts haven't been able to get an effective running game going with JT, don't think Hines is going to do much against Denver. I'd wait and see what's going on with Michael Thomas, if he's out I'd probably go Olave.

If by nightmare you mean "too many good options" then yes I agree :v:

I would consider putting Breece Hall in if Swift plays, but if Swift is out I'd lean keeping Jamaal in.


nollij posted:

I like JRob against the Texans because they're bad and JRob is good and amazing and my friend but Gordon will probably get like 90% of the snaps at RB for Denver so I dont think anyone would blame you for playing him. If it were me and I wasnt being a JRob fanboy I'd still lean JRob because there is uncertainty about if Gordon will fumble a lot or actually get 90% of the snaps or the Broncos offense will implode again.

edit: The Colts are short Darius Shaq Leonard but I think their run D is still decent.

I think Herbert and Hunt. I just don't trust Hines to produce if Taylor hasn't, and his skillet is definitely not a 1-to-1 replacement.

MG3 v IND

Josh Jacobs @ KC

First game with MG3 as the main back again and he loves to fumble so somewhat risky there, Robinson was garbage last week but Houston is a much better matchup, Kamara is questionable and hasn't been great when he has played, Jacobs is coming off a huge game (on my bench of course) but I worry about him being game scripted out.

This. One bad game in a monsoon where his QB fumbled the ball away 4 times. It was an outlier and I'm not benching him unless he shits the bed a few weeks in a row.

I still can't believe they kept letting TLaw dropback after the 2 fumble and int. Like at that point you run 20 run plays and just call it a day lol

To keep you safe

Do we trust Josh Jacobs already? I grabbed him off waivers this week, and planned on sitting him one week to make sure last week wasn't a fluke. But he's been getting a lot of work outside of just last week. And it would be for a flex spot, where I normally play the Sun God, who is looking less likely to play every day.

So, full PPR, flex spot, assuming assuming Sun God doesn't play...

Josh Jacobs @KC
Jeff Wilson, Jr. @Car

I'm going against the top scorer in my league, though I'm projected pretty far ahead already.

I think Gordon could go off because of the injury to the other Bronco rb.

Might be worthwhile to go James this week and see if Gordon goes ham.

But also Denver is playing Indy, who suck. So I would lean towards gambling on Gordon this week. He’s gonna get touches and targets.

I think CMC, Breece, and Fournette.

I’m actually not 100% against considering taking CMC out because SF has a good defense but they have a mediocre offense. Which means the score won’t be run up so much that CAR gets garbage time targets to CMC.

But on the other hand - don’t sit your studs
