Browns actually have a decent rush D, but Alex Collins is on fire with his Irish stepdancing smash rushes.

Hogan is a good play.

Hogan out so there's that. Now it's between Tyler Lockett and Powell at Flex, since it doesn't look like Forte will be doing much today. Somehow Lockett's always been flukey with me, in a good way.

Luckily Hunt gave me a nice cushion last night.

Greg the Leg vs @SEA or Robbie Gould vs TEN?

Greg has been my man all year but there's no way the Niners don't kick five field goals today and beat the Titans anyway.

This decision has been eating away at my soul.

The Seahawks game is the only one this week projected to have bad enough weather to knock down kickers a tier. Legatron will likely be declining to take 50+ yarders. Go for Gould this week.

I've actually been debating this exact scenario too. Gould feels like the play but it feels so wrong to bench The Leg and if I lose as a result of that swap I might just die.

Right there with you. This might be the hardest decision I've had to make all year. I've gotten 17 from him in 5 of his last 7 games. But everything is telling me Gould here.

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

Ok, in my finals, but it's two weeks long. My two big questions are QB, RB2, and Flex

QB:
Smith vs. MIA
Bortles @ SF

Flex & RB2
Gore @ BAL
Javorious Allen vs. IND
Crowell @ CHI
P. Richardson @ DAL

Even though Bort had the better week last week, and plays a slightly worse team, I'm leaning Smith. Assuming Fournette comes back, I think Bortles will throw less, and Smith still had a pretty good week.

Leaning Allen because I think Baltimore will pull away from Indy early, and he'll get a lot of garbage time runs. Gore because Baltimore is not great against the run, and his floor is like 6 points, which is better than most of my other options. Chicago is pretty stingy against the run, so I don't trust Crowell. Debating about Richardson, but he is a gamble. Last options are I'm trying to pick up Martavious Bryant and Perine off waivers. If I get either of those, I think I plug them in over Allen.

Does my logic seem bad here? I've actually made the correct choices for the majority of the season, so I usually trust my gut.

You got the right idea. In a meaningless game I’m also going Smith over Bortles.

My turn, pick my D/ST:

JAX @ SF (proj. 9.9)
MIN @ GB (proj. 12.2)

My projection has me ahead by ten points. We all know - JAX is soundly-dominant. The two slight knocks against them are 1) they travel west to play an afternoon game and 2) Handsome James has made the SF offense a thing. I’m not scared off of rostering JAX and prefer not to act cute with a position that has been “set and forget”; I’m just wondering aloud if MIN playing (away) against Brett Hundley is some kind of obvious choice I need to reconsider.

My opponent has his pick between:

CAR vs TB (proj. 10.5)
LAC @ NYJ (proj. 11.2)

JAX is the safe pick, but I am starting MIN since my next best option is CHI. If you're ahead by ten, I'd say don't risk it and keep JAX as your starter.



Ok so Rodgers and Wentz died on me, so I'm torn between,

Foles vs. Oak
Keenum @GB
Bortles @ SF

10 team standard

Guts telling me to go Bortles because I feel like Foles will get benched if the Vikings win Saturday and Keenum got benched towards the end last week against Houston. Yell at me please.

My first year ever playing fantasy football and I’m in the championship game

Got a couple choices to make, 0 PPR:

WR
Thomas @ Was
Bryant @ Hou
Westbrook @ SF (Flex)

Kupp @ Ten
Hilton @ Bal
Cole @ SF

TE
Olsen v TB
Engram @ Ari

Basically wondering if Olsen stays legit and if my mix of WRs will amount to anything (I could also just flex Engram). I don’t have any bench RBs worth anything.

I’m starting Newton so I’m a little worried about throwing a TE with one good game in there if they blow it but the other team is a murderer’s row averaging 140 points a week to my 123 so I feel like I’ve got to gamble.

This is my exact problem too.

Someone in the other thread suggested that Foles wouldn't sit because he needs more playing time. Is that a general consensus?

I dropped Foles and went ahead and picked up Bortles. If you're stuck with Foles, I think you'll be fine, but personally, I hate depending on a QB playing the last game of the week to bring me home.


I think if Fournette plays, I'll start Keenum but if not, Bortles will get the start.

Good idea. I didn't even consider that Fournette could be held out again since they're playing solid pass offense.

If Davante Adams also ends up sitting out this week I’d consider going with Minnesota. He seems to be by far Hundley’s favorite pass target.

My question: I need to sit one of these guys, who should it be? 1 PPR league, week 1 of a 2 week finals.

J Jones @NO
T Hill vs Mia
R Woods @Ten
K Drake @KC

Am I crazy to even consider benching Julio? He’s just been so lackluster this year and the other matchups seem favorable.

Faaaaaaaaast
ESPN 0.5 PPR, need to decide on a WR2 for week 1 of the finals.

Allen @ NYJ
J. Jones @ NO

I'm leaning Allen if healthy. Current Lineup:

RB1: Gurley @ TEN
RB2: Gordon @NYJ
WR1: Hopkins v PIT
WR2: Allen @ NYJ
FLEX: Hunt v MIA

Doccykins
Feb 21, 2006
In the Championship Game, pick 2 of 3

J. Jones @ NO
N. Agholor v OAK
L. Miller v PIT

NFL.com standard scoring (0 ppr)

I've stuck with Julio all season as my WR1 but he's been constantly middling apart from his big game in week 12 vTB, the rest of the season I've been alternating between Agholor and Tyreek Hill who have obviously been great on my bench and trash when I play them. If I ride a 3 receiver loadout I'm benching Miller who's been solid as a Flex all season

Other RBs are Hunt and Gurley so I'm locked in there and thanks to Wentz going down I'm riding the Bortles train for my first ring :regd08:

I have an identical TE question and a similar larger problem so it would be interesting to hear thoughts on it because I haven’t kept up to date on Olsen’s issues this year but picked him up after the GB game.
