With Hurts likely out who do we like here?

Trevor Lawrence @NYJ (TNF!!)
Daniel Jones @ MIN (Sat morning)
Minshew @ DAL (Sat afternoon)

The weather is supposed to be bad for TNF, plus a toe injury for TLaw which has my head spinning.

I'm projected to win by 2 points. Keeper, 10 team 1PPR

I like Jones. Vikings are giving up a lot of points to QBs and traditionally get stomped after a big win.

I like JAX, you might see a surprise Hurts start on Sunday. You know for sure that JAX gets to feast on Zach Wilson on Thursday.

Full PPR:

Do I roll with G. Wilson vs Jax or C. Watson @ Miami? Leaning towards Wilson, I think the overall offense is better in GB, but Watson isn't necessarily the focal point like Wilson is.

Also torn between Montgomery vs Buf or White @ AZ, leaning towards White because AZ is going with a 3rd stringer.

I've been ignoring it and hoping it would go away, but I have to pick up a Hurts fill in (this league runs waivers Wed night). Which one of these turds do I trust to send me to the finals

Gardner Minshew @ DAL
Derek Carr @ PIT
Zach Wilson vs JAX (Thursday + bad weather + sucks)
Sa... *chokes* Sam Darnold vs DET

God help me I think I am leaning Minshew. I'm interested in Carr but I saw some wild stat that Carr has never in his career won a cold weather game and has scored like 2 total TDs in them or something. Could just be small sample size noise of course.

Mostly I'm afraid my opponent and her wife are gonna add all of them and I will be stuck playing Trace McSorley or something lol. I am very low on FAAB.

I had a similar choice with slightly less favorable options (aka no Carr), and decided to go with Darnold. Maybe your team is better than mine, but without Hurts I am projected to lose by 25, so I need to go for ceiling points rather than floor points. I am always weary of QBs coming in after not starting for a while, and DAL has a decent defense, so that pushed me away from Minshew some, and you already covered Wilson. I figured DET can score points well but their pass defense is bad, so hoping for a shootout where Darnold has to throw all game.

Appreciate the perspective. And no, my team is probably not better than yours. I am projected to be blown out by like 35 points without Hurts lol. Any given Sunday etc but I was an underdog in this matchup even before the Hurts injury. I am walking into a buzzsaw. Gotta put my best face on, though.

Ugg, so it's the championship round in my superflex league, yeah early. It really looks like Lamar is not going to play again this weekend. So I potentially have to make a choice tonight:

Brock Purdy vs WAS
Zach Wilson vs JAX (TNF) (On Waivers)
Dalton @ CLE (Bad weather game) (On Waivers)

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

0.5 PPR need to fill 1 WR slot:

K.J. Osborn v NYG
Tyler Boyd @ NE
Mack Hollins @ PIT
Michael Gallup v PHI

I currently have Osborn in the WR slot as Hollins and Boyd are facing tougher defences, however can Osborn actually have 3 good weeks in a row?

Standard scoring in yahoo

Need a 3rd wr:
Marquise Goodwin vs KC
DJ Chark vs CAR
Zay Jones vs NYJ
Josh Palmer vs IND

And

Rams DST vs DEN
Jags DST vs NYJ

Bold are who i have started right now. Zay is coming off a 3 td game but tonight is poo poo weather and a shutdown defense. My gut likes rams vs russ but rankings and people seem to be in on the jags here. Am i overthinking it?

poo poo, Kenneth Walker hasn't practiced all week and is officially questionable. Assuming he can't go, I need to flex either of these two in half PPR:

Raheem Mostert vs GB
Latavius Murray @ LAR

Mostert has the better matchup, but Jeff Wilson is set to come back from injury. On the other hand, Chase Edmonds is also coming back, but I doubt he'll eat into Murray's ample workload.

This feels like a complete toss-up, but Murray may be the safer option.

Supposedly KW3 is going to play and if he does I'm starting him. If he doesnt play, for your situation I agree it feels like a tossup, if it were me I'd go Murray.

Burrow is QB4 in the formats I'm in. Minny's D might be bad but so is Daniel Jones, so I wouldnt sit Burrow for him.

Ok, its semis, and I have two actually tough choices to make. Full PPR, 5 points for a 100 yard game. Pick 5 of the following pool, 2 rbs, 2 wrs, 1 flex. I'll bold who I have in there right now

Justin Jefferson vs NYG
Stefon Diggs @ CHI
DeAndre Hopkins vs TB

JuJu vs Sea
Nick Chubb vs NO
JK Dobbins vs Atl

Miles Sanders @ Dal

I guess I can throw in that my TE options are Kittle, Waller, and Knox.

I'm really thinking about Juju over Hopkins and Miles over Dobbins. It's drat tough.

Yeah as a Pats fan who unfortunately watches the games I would add that while the defense is good, their stats are boosted by feasting on bad QBs. When they've faced actual good QBs they have mostly gotten loving smoked. Allen, Tua, Fields, Lamar, Cousins, all had good games. And Burrow is right up there. I expect them to lose to the Bengals by double digits. I don't really bet on games but I am very tempted to take the Bengals -3 line.

Daniel Jones is in a tasty matchup but he also has a 4 turnover brain fart game in his range of outcomes at any time. Zach Wilson was just in a great matchup and uh yeah vvv.

Currently:
Singletary @ CHI
Foreman vs. DET

Diontae vs. Raiders

E: Or full dice rolls
Doubs @ MIA
Sutton @ LAR

Figuring Singletary should see a solid work load with the weather, albeit splitting with Cook.

Foreman’s absolute bomb/usage last week is scaring me a bit with the way I see the game going. Start Diontae over him and hope the targets keep coming (maybe a TD finally), or roll Foreman?

Oh yeah. I was killing you.
I have either Mike Evans or DeVonta Smith as my WR2 going into my semifinal. Given the last three weeks I’d start Smith easily, but with Minshew I’m not completely sure. Am I crazy for even thinking about starting Evans (against Arizona) over Smith (potentially with Minshew against the Cowboys with the possibility of AJ Brown eating into his stats that Evans doesn’t quite seem to have)?

Don't sit Smith, Minshew being in might even mean more targets.

If Walker can't go (I'm playing him if he's active) I need a backup RB2 and FLEX, .5PPR

Rachaad White @ARI

Chark @CAR
Aiyuk vWAS
Allgeier vBAL
Akers vDEN
Warren vLV
Deon Jackson vLAC

Chark's been hot the last 4 weeks but understandably cooled off a bit against the Jets last week, that D is legit. I don't trust Aiyuk with Purdy in there at all.
