1 ppr, pick 2

Jerome Ford v NYJ
James Conner @Phi
Chris Godwin v NO

Ford plays Thursday in the rain, but I think the jets def is bad against the run? Conner plays Philly which I'm not sure about and Godwin had one of his better games against NO this year since they shut down Mike Evans usually.

Ahhh my last sit/start post of the year. Feels good.

Flacco v NYJ
Stroud v Ten
Goff @ DAL

Leaning either Flacco or Stroud, since I think Detroit is going to run a lot and Micah parsons exists

LV @ IND
IND v LV
CHI v ATL
LAR @ NYG

This one is tough since LV looks so good but ATL will have to run the ball against a good Chicago rush defense. The colts hosed me last week against ATL but I figure I should double check my gut before dropping them

Monty v DAL
Jacobs @ IND

Monty hasn’t been getting as much use, I think someone here or maybe reddit said it feels like they let him get his 60y and maybe a td and then it’s the Jahmyr Gibbs show. otoh, given that Buffalo just showed what a good RB does to the cowboys, could be a good pick. Jacobs is off injury and I’m worried White will get more work instead of Jacobs getting it all like in the past.

Nico v Ten
Flowers v MIA
Monty @ DAL
Jacobs @ IND

Leaning Nico to double dip off Stroud if I go with him, but I have concerns about the brain scrambling and the general injuries we’ve seen. Flowers is inconsistent and I only started him because Jacobs didn’t get marked as out until late. I probably should wait until the shadow report is out before I solidify any of these choices

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

Championship game 6PT throwing TD, pick one starting QB:

Trevor Lawrence v CAR

Baker Mayfield v NO

I'm thinking Baker but if I'm able to get Russ, he's got a great matchup.

Ford's been super disappointing lately. I'd roll the dice on Conner and hope that NO focuses on Evans rather than Godwin

Russ or baker over T-Law for sure, but I think NO’s secondary + QB FPPG are both highly ranked. Otoh, Russ is inconsistent but seems to have a decent floor

0.5PPR, 6PPTD IDP Dynasty Championship. Need to pick 2 WRs:

Jakobi Meyers vs IND
Tyler Lockett vs PIT
Garrett Wilson vs CLE
Terry McLaurin vs SF

I think I have no choice but to pick the first 2, but am I missing anything?

I also have Christian Watson vs MIN, but it's MNF game and there's no guarantee he'll be back from his hamstring injury.

One more question, which defence to start:

Bears v ATL
Rams @ NYG
Ravens @ MIA

Sleeper likes the Rams slightly over the Bears, but Chicago has been very good the last 4 weeks

I think I've talked myself into the Ravens over the other mid-tier defenses such as PHI, Den, and Raiders.

Pros: They are at home. Waddle unlikely to play at all. Tyreek, Achane, Mostert, and Tua all banged up. ( yes, everyone is banged up by this point, but they all are nursing legit injuries)

Cons: Dolphins have an extra day of rest than Bal, Tyreek can blow by anyone even at 80% health.

Still have a few more days to mull it over.

Cross-posting from the main thread: I've reached the finals in a 0.5 ppr league, but am now second-guessing myself about benching decisions.

Am I crazy for planning to bench Amari Cooper? He and DJ Moore are currently on my bench, with Chris Olave, Rashee Rice, D'Andre Swift, and Aaron Jones all slated to play.

IDP: C.J. Mosley, Azeez Al-Shaair, or Jordan Hicks? (I've been running Mosley, but he hasn't scored double-digits since week 12, and it's a Thursday game...)

QB: Flacco > Stick, Taylor, Rudolph, Stidham(?), or Heinicke, right?

Watson is definitely out.

Diontae Johnson and Jakobi Meyers have both had pretty pathetic floors in PPR lately. I’m the CMC owner but I’m against the JJ owner and I’m terrified that our powerhouses will cancel out and the rest of roster is pretty comparable so I’m looking for help.

Should I consider dropping one or both for Demarcus Robinson or KJ Osborn? I’m looking for massive upside, as my current WR2s have pretty abysmal floors and Diontae got me 3 points last week and i can’t do that again!

I mean, it's Thursday and I already am trusting Joe Flacco as a QB, but yeah, it does feel wrong to bench Cooper for Rice. Especially after the last Chiefs game.

But ESPN has Rice +3.5 pts over Cooper, and 24 out of 24 "Experts" (lol) @ FantasyPros are saying to start Rice over Cooper, so I thought that maybe they know something that I don't?

I am thinking of benching Tua for Flacco in my third-place game. Is this a bad idea? They both have bad matchups, but Tua has been really disappointing for weeks and Flacco is on a tear, and now he goes against his former team.

Yahoo still has Flacco’s projection at like 12 even though in the last 4 weeks the lowest score he’s gotten is 17 and obviously last week he went berserk with 26

Like on one hand I know the projections are meaningless and I am going to be big mad when Flacco does better than both Stroud post hotbrains and Goff against Dallas, but on the other hand that Jets defense is scary and he threw at least 1 pick or had one fumble over the same period of time against easier defenses

That's rough. My gut says Tua but I haven't been paying attention to the Dolphins and I guess he's cooled off quite a bit. Philly's secondary is baby soft (:sigh:) and you gotta think this could be a get right game for Kyler. Just pay attention to the injury report since they're both Qs.

Speaking of QBs, I need to start one of

Goff@DAL (gently caress the Cowboys)
Tyrod vs. LAR

Every time I bench Goff he goes off and my replacement QB sucks. On the other hand, Dallas D is scary and Tyrod is the only other real live NFL QB option available unless I want weird backup rookie garbage or *shudder* 2023 Derek Carr.
