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

Carr unlikely to play this week with that groin, right? He’s going to try and play but that’s a situation to monitor closely. If he cannot go, don’t even consider Agholor.

To me the second WR spot is between Cooks or Kupp


Edit; Carr got a limited practice in today which is an encouraging sign. I would, however, recommend to not play Agholor.

Yeah Agholor was a distant 4th for me as well

Same dumb question I have asked about 5 times this year, but now it is for the finals:

Stafford (Q) vs TB
Lock @ LAC

I think TBs defense is better, but Lock is pretty bad. Leaning Stafford but I think Lock has a higher ceiling and lower floor.

The last six weeks TB has given up the most points to wide receivers. They’re giving up 50pts a game on average in PPR to the position during that time. TB defense is not playing as well of late as they were to start the season.

Id monitor Stafford’s practice ahaha what am I saying. Stafford will start this week, and he’s got a decent matchup. I would personally not trust a rookie over Stafford in a decent matchup.

Edit:

All my words yet you already summed it up well:

The Cowboys are really interesting on defense. They actually score pretty well fantasy points wise but notoriously cannot stop the run in real life. Hurts can get it done through the air and on the ground, and although it feels like he has a safe floor, can't forget he's still a rookie with limited experience and could also be completely horrible. I like his chances of having good production, though, especially on the ground.

The Bengals are a dog poo poo, god awful team and won't be able to stop Watson. Ignore last game. Every season some random poo poo team beats a super great team having a bad time. Steelers are dog poo poo right now too and the Bengals took advantage. The Texans are going to have their way with the Bengals. It's going to be a massacre, and Watson will be the reason why. Watson is due for some positive touchdown regression as well. Perfect timing.



As for the running backs, hmm. I am in a similar boat. I have Gibson and Zeke, and am mulling over Zeke. I think Zeke's volume will be safe regardless of what we saw with Pollard recently, and I'm hoping Zeke "makes a statement." I'm totally going on a hunch. If Gibson is out, I think I'd start Bell over Zeke, especially in PPR.

I am praying for a healthy Gibson so he can win us a championship. I want to start him so badly, but I don't know if I can.

Would usually roll with Thielen and Kupp but Kupp has taken a back seat to Woods lately and hasn't been a top-25 WR since week 11. Seattle's defence hasn't been terrible for a few weeks and there's always the Jared Goof factor. I'm leaning to Thielen and Cooks.

Oh also should I start the Bills D (@ NE) or trust the Texans D against CIN?

I would go with Kupp and Cooks

Yeah the Seattle D has improved but tend to get carved up by WRs. Thielen has NO’s defense which is spooky

I’m rolling with the Bills this week. I wouldn’t trust Houston

I say Mayfield, but that's because I'm going against Allen in my championship game.

I'd sit Aiyuk. SF has the 3rd string QB starting this week. I imagine more screen passes and a focus on the running game in this one.

I feel like I need home runs here because I'm facing a team who has averaged 140 points per week compared to my 120 points. I stole most of the possible RBs on the waiver wire to keep him from them (he is starting Dobbins and Giovani Bernard.).

I can always drop someone for the waiver wire for WRs.

Kamara vs MIN
J Taylor vs. PIT

Woods vs. SEA
Lamb vs. PHI

I'd stick with allen. He got you this far most likely and the jets are acting a bit better lately.
Your other options are really ty or aiyuk. I'd lean towards sitting TY because they'll manufacture touches for Aiyuk. But you could go either way and feel okay about it.

DTaeKim: I'd probably go Wilson over lamb or coutee if you want to swing for a possible 2 TD game. Assuming you have a flex.

They have both had many previous "good" opportunities where they do nothing, so it is hard to feel confident playing either of them. I have the same decision and I am going to go with David Johnson assuming Duke Johnson is out, I think he is less likely to get <5 than Bernard.

David Johnson’s floor has been rather consistent this year! Duke still hasn’t practiced, so David looks like he’ll get the “full workload.”

Bernard has a decent matchup as well, however as mentioned before is on a dog poo poo team. You’d be lucky to not be forced to start Bernard.

Both backs are involved in the passing game as well. All things considers at this point, give me the back on the better offense.

I have the worst question, a kicker question:

I have an underperforming kicker (Prater). A waiver move will cost me $5 and it did not seem like my team was play-off bound so I never replaced him. Now I am in the finals where the difference between winning and losing is about $250. Is it worth replacing Prater with a better kicker? Normally kickers feel like they are fairly random, but he has only made 3 field goals in the last 5 weeks and has been on the injury report with back issues. There are a bunch of kickers with high projections available. I am leaning on replacing him since winning is more fun than not winning, and I don't want him to tweak his back mid-game and get nothing.

Top Options (no penalty for missed kicks, any field goal under 50 yards is 3 points, 50 and higher is 4):

Prater vs TB - not a top option, but there is no guarantee he does worse and it saves $5
Succop @ DET - most sites have ranked in the top 5 this week
Fairbairn vs CIN - most sites have ranked in the top 5 this week
Blankenship @ PIT - worse matchup, but he has been solid all year
Bass @ NE - he has done well with how prolific the offense has been, is weather a concern?

I am leaning one of Succop or Fairbairn, but they are kickers and I already wasted too much time thinking about this.

When we’re talking about kicker projections, it’s usually only a matter of a field goal, at most. Switching to a better kicker is really about squeezing out every single point you can from your allotted roster spots, even if it’s three points.

If you feel like you’d like a better chance at a few minutes extra points this week, yeah, I’d pay the five bucks, and I’d go with Fairbairn.

All Kittle questions basically boil down to does he get a TD. If he's on a snap count he'll probably be playing in the red zone but won't get his normal volume.

Trubisky @ JAX
Goff @ SEA
Matt Ryan @ KC

My dynasty league I ended up with three qb's and it's a weird situation. All three have good matchups. Trubisky has somehow looked more consistent lately though even though he's probably the worst of the 3.
