I’m flexing Allgeier over Mattison this week. Vikings C is out, Mattison is going to have a tough time punching it through the middle.

This is the way I was going, but I kind of needed someone else to say it and confirm what I was thinking. He's so good, but the Eagles D is also so good, I feel like he's gonna get halted quite a bit.

Someone in my league bid $1870 of his budget of $1000 for the season. He got two guys

Puka Nacua LAR, WR $565
Justice Hill Bal, RB $375


He has 60 bucks for the remainder of the season

At least when an NBA team constructs their roster that way they get at least three guys at the max.

The Vikings O-line is atrocious and always gets the poo poo kicked out of them by fletcher cox. Our under sized center will be replaced by Schlottman which is a guaranteed 2-3 plays where there’s a fumbled snap or mistimed something.

Our guards are terrible and will be steamrolled constantly, so when we try to run it up the middle Mattison will encounter the first tackler like 3 yards behind the LOS.

Mattison will get like 11 carries for 21 yards, with one of those being a 15 yard run. Fletcher Cox will carry him backwards a cumulatively further distance by the end of the game.

And Vikes will likely be two touchdowns back after the Eagles first two drives, so we will start running a lot of slow developing pass plays and screens that get blown up.

That my experience watching this Vikings Oline against the eagles the last few years. But maybe it will be different tomorrow nigth?

Someone in one league I'm in sent $200 for Justice Hilll, of a total of $250 FAAB.

That guy will be sad when the key turns on the Gus Bus and starts that ol' faithful engine.

Agreed, primetime Kirk is legendarily bad. One of the few football stats I care to remember, mostly to rub it in my friends' face (Vikes fan).

Lineup flexibility. In case someone playing Sunday gets injured, you have the most options to replace.

RB wise, I have currently Bijan, Tony Pollard, and Allgeier who I just picked up in my flex.

I have Dameon Pierce, Rachaad White, and David Montgomery on my bench. Any thoughts on starting any of those over anyone?

Eh. Given how bad Deon Jackson was, I have to imagine that the Colts try to get Moss involved in some capacity. But i wouldnt start him this week. Maybe pick him up to see how he does if you really need a week 3 & 4 starter. Because he seems useless once Taylor returns. Well unless you think something else will go wrong there

Just finished watching the Atlanta game. I'm not going to panic with London or Pitts yet. That pass rush was destroying the Falcons line. I think London struggles this week with Jaire Alexander, and then I try to buy low in leagues I don't have him.

I have Drake London in three leagues now that people are dropping him, I guess I'm really putting my money where my mouth is on this one

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Had Diontae Johnson, dropped him to pick up Puka Nacua who was just sitting there. Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne are also available. Does anyone have strong feelings one way or another on any of these guys? I'm really just stashing these guys on the bench for now so it's not a huge deal for me, but Johnson is out for like 5-6 weeks, so I need someone to fill that spot.

I kind of like Bourne about the same as Puka. The Patriots aren't amazing on offense but they're at least competent this year and he's a good player. I like Meyers a little less than either of those two, but he's a reasonable flier, just the situation seems less favorable (he's WR2 behind Davante, Josh McDaniels seems mediocre, Jimmy G injury risk.)

I like the Bijan Robinson / Tyler Allgeier stack there. I'm doing that in one league, over Kenneth Walker, Raheem Mostert, or Breece Hall this week. It might not be the optimal play but it's the most fun to me.

It's pretty bold to project Jeudy to be in double figures when as far as I know he still can't fully practice and as far as I know still has Russell throwing to him

Yeah def. I think the only reason he wasn’t right there with Puka on everyone’s waiver lists is because he was too high owned to make the cut. If he’s available for some reason run to add him

Although if he wants to skip this week to get healthy my Davante Adams shares would thank him

Alright, I'll switch out Puka for Jakobi. I was a little worried about Jakobi's concussion, but I can afford to wait a week or two if he's out short-term.

E: I have the benefit of a 10 team league and I think only half the league really pays attention. There always seems to be a decent guy available because people just don't bother dumping their terrible guys on the bench.

Someone in my league is still running Kupp. That type of league can be frustrating. There are 3 players in my league that actually try and make smart pickups, which makes it tough sometimes.

I’m still pretty confident Mattison is gonna be at least a high Flex to low RB 2 this week. At least in 0.5 ppr or ppr.

In a bit of a pickle with my RBs this week and I am terrible at managing risk so I need someone sane to talk me off the edge..

I have Ekeler, Jones, Swift, and Kelley. Obviously Ekeler and Jones are questionable. Swift plays tonight so I need to make a decision by then, otherwise I risk only having one available RB on Sunday. The least risk-averse option would be to sit both Ekeler and Jones and take my chances for at least some points out of the other two, right? I'm in first by ~30 points but my opponent tonight is pretty stacked with Hurts, McCaffrey, and Miles Sanders. Supposedly the Chargers will make a decision after practice today so maybe I'll know for sure about Ekeler in time...

Tyler Allgeier is available in my casual friend 8 team league with 1 ppr. We run only 5 bench slots though so Im not sure who to drop for him. Options are

Cam Akers
David Montgomery

I was thinking of just dropping Akers here? The rest of my RBs are CMC/Breece/Najee and with the Steelers offense looking the way it is out the gate I was looking for a better upside option here.
