Should I roll with David Njoku (vs BAL, today) or a freshly-returned Dallas Goedert (@CHI, tomorrow) at TE in .5 PPR?

Goedert is not confirmed active yet (that I’ve seen) so it’s a gamble. So if you go that route you’d want to have a backup plan playing on Sunday unless we get an announcement today. Or just dodge it and play Njoku who seems like a good option.

I do like Goedert and am planning to use him myself if active but I’ve got Hunter Henry as a pivot.

TE, 0.5 PPR:

Engram vs DAL (fewest TE points allowed)
Kmet vs PHI (8th fewest TE points allowed)

I trust Fields and Kmet more than TLaw and Engram here. But Engram did just put up 30...

I think I have to sit Higgins even if they say he's good to go.. hamstrings are too unpredictable. Which two you playing out of these? 0.5 PPR

Donovan Peoples-Jones vs Bal
D'Onta Foreman vs Pit
Chris Moore vs KC
Cordarrelle Patterson @ NO
Joshua Palmer vs Ten

I’m seriously thinking about benching Amari Cooper for Chris Moore, which on its face sounds like an insanely terrible idea but god drat the rapist Watson has seemingly ruined him.

Am I insane?

D/ST question

Eagles @CHI

Panthers v.PIT

Have Eagles plugged in but thinking they had a hard time with Kyler, and that was the most mobile QB they faced and worst score they've put up this year.

I think you're fine either way really. But I prefer defenses at home and against bad offenses. So I'd probably run the Panthers out today.

For a Yahoo specific question:

Jeff Driskel (QB, TE) vs KC
Dulcich vs ARI

Driskel is TE eligible for Yahoo, and he played a somewhat Taysom Hillish game last week where he had 6 attempted passes and 7 rushes where he ended up with a passing touchdown and some rushing change to get a decent low double digit score. He was actually on the field for about half of the snaps. I cannot find any ranking site that has him as clearly listed as a TE, so I am not sure if his really low ranking across the board is due to an expectation that his role decreases significantly this week, or if he is just getting ranked vs QBs.

Dulcich is a reasonably safe pick in that he has a favorable matchup and has been getting a decent number of targets every game. I know Denver has Rypien over Wilson this week, but I am not sure if that is a downgrade at this point.

I can see Driskel getting anywhere from 0-20 points, while Dulcich is probably a higher floor 4-10 points without a touchdown.

I don't know how accurate this guys projections are, but this sounds promising if true:

If you need the boom potential, go Driskel. If you need dependable TE points, go Dulchich.

I don't really NEED a boom, our projection is pretty close where I am favored by 5 in the projections, but that is also close enough where I could very likely need every last point. I could definitely see a situation where I play Driskel and he does not get a snap and I lose by single digits, or I play Dulcich and Driskel gets 20 on my bench and I lose by single digits.

Etienne hasn't done poo poo the last few weeks and is against Dallas. Fournette splits touches with White. Patterson is in a bigger committee and has a rookie QB making his first start. Leaning Lenny.

never got a response to this. Leaning Fournette for a safer floor after a strong start from Josh Allen, but my opponent does have Josh Jacobs who has been breaking games so maybe that's too conservative.

It was looking promising during the first series, but he played like such a dipshit such as taking 5 seconds to run out of bounds for a 3 yard loss instead of throwing it away that I think he got benched.

I'm projected to win by 20 points. Do I roll the dice and keep Higgins in or go safe with Watson?

Both feel like risky plays because Watson's production just seems unprecedented, while Higgins could get pulled off the field at any moment for a hamstring injury.

You think I'm joking but

Lawrence @NYJ (Thu)
or
Minshew @DAL

is more of a serious issue than I'd like because the Jags play in two days and Hurts, who is also on my team, hasn't been officially ruled out yet. So the debate is to either throw in Trevor or wait and see if there's a possibility that Hurts plays and just slot in Minshew if not. Guess I've got a couple days to decide.
