point: KWIII averaged over 11 yards a carry in the last game

counterpoint: most of it was a huge run

I'm starting him but also Dobbins

I could see McKenzie going off this week. Diontae probably has the highest floor but I have no faith in a Diontae boom atm.

need a WR2, .5PPR:

Higgins @NO
Pickens vTB
Doubs vNYJ
Meyers @CLE
I'm similarly deciding among three of the same guys (Higgins, Pickens, and Meyers).

My plan is to keep an eye on health reports--if Higgins's ankle is better by Sunday, I think he'd be the clear top choice. But that zero last week really stung. Otherwise I'm rolling with Meyers. He's had a very solid floor and reasonable ceiling in games he actually played.

I don't have Doubs on my roster but right now he seems like the least viable of these four.

Lockett (WR) has a hammy issue which means the weapons for the Seahawks are 1) DK and 2) Walker.

They gonna run a lot unless the game turns into a shoot out.

I think Walker is a great play this week.

Lockett was cleared to play. Walker is a solid start this week, regardless.

I’m personally rolling with Devonta Smith over Curtis Samuel and I would probably do the same if it were Sutton. His ceiling is great and I think AJB will draw a lot of coverage.

Devonta's rise and actually near primacy in the eagles offense is annoying as an AJ Brown/Goedert owner

MacheteZombie posted:

So hard to trust AJB right now

He at least has a solid floor. Feel like he's gonna have another huge game at some point but I doubt it comes against the cowboys

I would go Eno. Even though he's really not a super impressive player impo, he should be up for a lot of action against a terrible defense.

Meanwhile CEH has only had double digit carries once this season, has two other guys behind him that the team still likes using siphoning touches and points away, and this game should favor the passing attack more than the rushing. If he gets a big screen or a touchdown it could make me wrong but that's how I see it.

Now a question of my own:

Assuming JT is out (any word on that btw?), full ppr.

Flex either Drake London VS SF, Tyler Higbee VS CAR, or Brandon Aiyuk VS ATL.

Definitely leaning London but any insight would be great.

As an Eagles fan I absolutely love having him on the team, but yeah I have AJB in one of my leagues and it is frustrating at times. He痴 like Mike Williams, he値l sit there with 3 points for half the game and make you wonder if he痴 even in, then just suddenly pull in some insane power catch for a TD.

Yeah his refusal to do a single God drat thing in the second half of week 4 I think lost me that match. And last week was bizarre where he got three catches in the opening drive and none after that.

It should get better at some point but not optimistic this week. Still starting him of course

James Robinson @ IND
Doubs v NYJ
Keenan Allen v DEN
Darrell Henderson v CAR

Robinson is losing touches. Doubs is inconsistent. Keenan has been injured, might not play, and is the Monday night game. Rams RBs have been bad, but no Akers in the way could help Henderson.

Mostert is a tough one, with the Dolphins starting a 3rd string QB they could go down big early and Mostert gets gamescripted out, or if their defense plays well enough that they go run heavy and Mostert is most of their offense. The Vikings are inconsistent enough that I could easily see either of those scenarios happening.

So I'd say Diontae is a safer floor, while Mostert is more high risk/high reward.

Tough decision in my PPR Superflex redraft league. Do I pick up Skylar Thompson to play in my SF slot, or play Tony Pollard or Alec Pierce? I'm currently benching Tee Higgins after he "played" and put up zero last week and was limited all this week because of the same ankle injury, which means I have Duvernay and Doubs starting as my WRs already.

I agree with this.

Unless you need to drop someone valuable, I would gamble with Thompson. Figure a bad QB week is usually better than a random non-blue chip flex.

That is who I would start as well.

Two questions for my superflex:

Caleb Huntley vs SF
Philip Lindsey vs Jax

Leaning Lindsay for the more favorable matchup. I had Deon Jackson and dropped him for waivers on Tuesday because I assumed Taylor and Hines would be active. Then dropped that player to get Lindsey...

and pick 2 QB:

Trevor Lawrence @ IND
Matt Stafford vs CAR
Russell Wilson vs LAC

I don't want to talk about it.

The Steeler's D is hurt pretty bad last I heard so not only should Tua be a good start for you, but keeping him from other people for even a week has its merits (like if a different QB gets hurt or continues to stink and you could trade Tua).
