Welcome to the 2022 start sit advice thread. To get the best suggestions please include your leagues scoring/settings and what opposing teams they face. Your thoughts on who you'd pick is also helpful.

Here's mine:

1 ppr, need a flex.
Chase Edmonds vs NE
Darnell Mooney vs NYG
Michael Thomas @ATL

Leaning edmonds for likely run volume, but the other two are facing terrible teams (I know they're on bad teams too) and could feast on targets.
I like Mooney because he is Money but with one more 'o' and because I think he is the most known quantity of the three. Yeah Edmonds is technically the starter but to me its RBBC until we see otherwise, we have no idea how that offense will look overall, and NE has the best D of the the three options. Also I think MT is cooked so I am biased. Mooney is the only WR and only one of two pass-catchers on the roster (Kmet being the other) and NYG's D is not good.

0.5 ppr
AJ Dillon or Tony Pollard

Hard to guess Dillons share this early so I feel Pollard is the safer bet.
I think its a tossup because the WRs on both teams are huge questionmarks but I would lean Pollard because Zeke is more cooked than Jones and the Cowboys are more likely to be throwing, and dumping off, to Pollard.


Quiet Feet posted:

I think Juju has the highest upside of the three.
I agree with this because Juju is definitely a starter with a history of being able to produce better than Lazard could, who has the aforemented injury anyway, and Javonte is now the A#1 RB in Denver so Gordon might not see a ton of touches (we dont know what the usage ration is going to be with the new coaching staff).

I'm assuming Akers is the play but idk if Henderson is expected to take a bunch of the workload from him, which would put the WRs or Stevenson in play maybe
I really like your team and agree with your assessment. I could see an argument to play Jeudy until we see how Akers and Henderson split touches but I dont think anyone would fault you for just going ahead and starting Akers.

That would be my inclination if I had to deal with that choice. I'd want to see Cordarrelle used less or Wilson getting the majority of the touches before I switch. For all we know it'll be that undrafted rookie RB SF kept that inexplicably gets all the touches.

I like it. I was surprised to see Scary Terry on your bench but when I looked back through it I agree with Jeudy being ahead him for the WR spot and Henderson being ahead of him for the Flex spot.

Oof, thats tough. I think thats a coinflip. Conklin has one more target through 2 weeks but Cincy has the better D of the two so he might be more limited, but but the Jets DL is pretty decent and may kill Burrow on the field. I think if it were me I'd lean Conklin by a hair because the WRs on his team are less proven and Flacco seems to like targeting him.

Not inclined to trust JuJu at this point... but do I have to? Other three have tough matchups.
This is tough because yeah, Juju is hard to trust at this point but I just dont trust him. Samuel has been targeted a lot; Washington is likely to be throwing a lot and Slay will likely be on Terry so I could see an argument for him. Hunt has been seeing a decent % of the looks and the Browns D may keep Titty Kisser And The Canada Offense in check. Dillon vs TB just seems like a bad idea to me because their run D and overall D has been so drat good.

If it were me because I'm a JJSS hater I'd play Samuel or maybe Hunt if I were feeling spicy.

Need 2 WRs, 0 PPR.

Thinking Metcalf and Cooper. Could be a get right game for Metcalf against a bad Falcons team.
Like Spermy Smurf said, Cooper for sure. Like Samuel above, Dotson may see more looks if Terry is covered by Slay a lot but he has been scoring so high because he has caught 3 touchdowns in 2 games so I could see doubting him. Metcalf has been seeing a lot of short looks but Pete has been talking about opening up the passing game so maybe he may see more targets, but with zero PPR he might not be good anyway especially because Atlanta's D has been decent. Chark worries me a little because Goff has been spreading the ball around; he did have 4 targets last week but some were errant and he had at least one drop. I'd lean, uh, Dotson and hope he scores another TD and/or gets some garbage time yards, I guess? Or maybe Chark and hope he gets look if people start trying really hard to take ARSB away?

Yeah its a tough call. I end up typing up my thoughts like that when I'm bored at work/procrastinating, I hope the rambling helps because yeah Dotson continuing to catch TDs at this rate is improbable, but I'm a big believer in him so I guess I'm a little biased :v:

Both at home against stout run D's. Wilson will have the volume but I don't know if game script will favour Dillon? I can see Green Bay just hammering NE up and down the field with the run game, especially if and when they go up early.
NE is going to be terrible with Hoyer at the helm so I'm playing Dillon where I have him and I think I like him over Jeff Wilson but I dont think anyone would blame you for playing Jeff.

Jeff Wilson Jr or Antonio Gibson full PPR
After seeing what the Eagles D, that does not have a Micah Parsons level guy on it, did to the WFT OL, I think the Cowboys D will obliterate the WFT OL even harder. McKissic is the passing down specialist so I think I'd lean Jeff here because AGib might not see many looks once WFT is in "always pass" mode midway through the first quarter.

Samuel without a doubt if it were me. Gibson has only had reasonable fantasy production the past two weeks due to scoring TDs, otherwise he would be... not great (6 points week 2 and 5 week 3 in full PPR without the TDs). Wentz will probably be running for his life again but he did that last week and Samuel still managed 13 PPR points without a TD.
