I'm going with Gus. He's had like 20 points almost every week over the last 2 months and yet they keep projecting him at 10 or so.

Yeah Gus seems like a great play I dunno why he always gets buried in rankings. All he does is score touchdowns.

Arthur Smith should be facing criminal charges over the fact that Bijan isn't the obvious answer, but welp

You're finished, pork-o-nazi!

take me you ANIMAL posted:

So if White is out or hurt enough to not get full snaps, should I put in Bijan vs NO (ranking 3rd against RB, 14.6 projected) or Gus Bus vs Chargers (26th vs, but only 11.2 projected).

Projections mean little, especially when it comes to those two players. Maybe Bijan will see 75% of carries and goal line work. Or maybe Allgeier will have the majority of carries. Maybe Gus Bus will have 3 1-yard TD carries. Or maybe regression will hit and he'll have zero.

I'd probably start Bijan, he likely is safest with the highest floor.

Also for what it's worth Schefter tweeted a little bit ago that White is going to play and his Friday limited practice was just precautionary cause he felt sore or something

I'd personally be playing Gus Bus anyways, the Chargers' defensive stats mean nothing with Joey Bosa on IR :killdozer:

Full ppr - would you guys sit Tank Dell vs Jax, DJ Moore vs Minn, or Pittman vs TB? I wish I could start all :( I keep waffling between Pittman and Moore, and maybe sitting Tank is the right but he’s been on such a heater.

If you sit DJ Moore he's gonna pop off for 45 points again you just know it

Yeah it sucks. He might put up 10 or he might put up 40. I hate having this guy on my roster - he's a must start that will lose you games sometimes. Vikings run all kind of weird blitzes though and that's Justin Fields kryptonite - his injury he just came back from was from the last Vikings game where he dislocated his thumb on his like 5th sack of the game (in the 2nd quarter).

I think I'll just play Moore over Pittman anyway. Pittman is such a reliable 15-20. Week in and out he'll get you that, no less, no more. I guess if Moore only puts up 10 it's not that big of a deal.

Both matchups (TB and MIN) are good for receivers, even though I think in the specific case of Chicago MIN is actually a sneaky bad WR matchup, but maybe they got their poo poo together since the last meeting.

I’d be inclined to start the hot hand with Dobbs. He’s also got a match up I like more.

James Conner (va LAR) or Greg Davis (@PHI) at flex? Leaning Conner right now because he’s been more consistent. I could also start Gabe Davis over either (or over Christian Kirk at WR3 even).

I’m in bye week hell

QBs:
Stroud v DEN
Goff @ NO

I’m probably starting Stroud against the hot broncos defense, but I’m not sure what NO’s secondary is like. I’ve basically lost confidence in The Goof, but even though Stroud has shown increased success, a rookie against good defense like Denver or NYJ always makes me have fomo

WR’s/Flex
Puka v CLE
Waddle @ WAS
Brown v DEN (assuming he’s healthy)
Jamo @ NO

I’m leaning Puka/Waddle/Brown. with Kyren back, I’m somewhat worried Puka is going to continue to struggle unless CLE’s secondary sucks and their run defense is good enough to stymie Kyren.

If brown doesn’t play my options are Jamo (which brings me back to my concerns with Goff on top of his other fantasy issues) or the wire has Nico v DEN, B Cooks v SEA, and Raymond @ NO and possibly other suggestions depending on availability

Curtis Samuel v Miami

What are we doing with Kupp at this point? He’s been terrible for weeks.


Also waivers have these two as the best rbs available:
Tyler Allgeier v NYJ
S. Perine v Houston

Drop Tyler Boyd or Rasheed Shaheed to pick up one of the rbs?

Agreed they have both sucked rear end so I'd play Pickett and let Jesus take the wheel vs a horrendous defense. I mean Stafford just destroyed Arizona with a strategy of "dump off the ball to the RB and TE" and what does PIT want to do? Yeah that.

Browns defense is also the literal worst matchup for opposing QBs on the year. If Myles Garrett is healthy Stafford might die in the second quarter

I should note that this is maybe the only situation I would ever endorse playing Pickett. He is garbage

Seriously. I'm so glad I held on to 2 QB's because I had Burrow who sucked, was good for a few weeks, and now is dead. I would've lost so many games if I was trying to run some guy off the scrap pile. Sometimes you need to adjust your strategy to the league. If everyone else is holding 2 QB's, then maybe you should've too so you wouldn't be in this position.

Or you can just pick up CJ Stroud off free agency and have a better team because you didn’t waste a roster spot holding 2 QB’s all year.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

yea I rode Lamar Jackson alone until the week Kyler came back and double picked up Kyler+Stroud to block opponents and to prep for exactly this week's BYE, choosing Stroud. This is a Strategy.

On the flip side, now my opponent with Josh Allen did not prepare and I stole the only playable (Russ Wilson) off waivers, and they are opting for like Stafford or something (hint this is who will go off this week)

14 teams here, I actually picked up Browning last week as the best available in hopes that a mystery QB would emerge. Only remaining QBs with a non-zero projection for this week are Levis, Zappe, Minshew, Young, Riddler, Stafford, DTR and Boyle.

None now. But he was sitting there for a while earlier this season. People are just saying there is a middle ground between “DRAFT 2 QB’s!! or you will literally have to start a high school QB if your starter gets hurt” and “never spend high draft capital, just stream QB always”.

There’s always great QB value on waivers/FA if you watch and pounce at the right time.
