Do I drop Cousins for Goff this week? Worried about primetime Qirk and the backup center. But the Vikes will be throwing almost every down...

I think it's a coin flip but Rhamondre vs MIA or Walker III @ DET for my flex spot (0.5 PPR)

I’m in terrible position of having to choose between these two at RB this week (league is standard scoring):

Zeke Elliot v. MIA
Justice Hill @CIN

Please help me

Hill. I'd rather take the chance on the upside than basically needing a TD from Zeke for anything.

0.5ppr league, I have four RBs that could fit the flex slot but having trouble deciding who should take it. I have Raheem Mostert for now but curious if I should go with Brian Robinson instead for next week. Any ideas?



I think I'd keep Mostert in just because Washington is likely to fall behind the Bills and he'll be slightly scripted out.

Worried a bit about Ford since the Titans shut down the Chargers run game last week

And Kelley will probably have an easier go of it against the Vikings

And Nico looks legit

I'm going Nico & Robinson here. Don't want any part of the Browns' offense and Kelley didn't do anything last week. Run with the hot hands imo.

I picked up Hunter Hearst Henry since he was available but I also have Kittle. So,

No PPR
Kittle vs NYG (tonight)
Henry @ NYJ

I'm leaning Henry because Kittle hasn't done anything so far this year and is getting fewer targets. But I still want to believe Kittle is DSYS.

Pick an RB, 1PPR:

Mattison v LAC
White v PHI
Warren @ LV

I figure Mattison has the best combo of matchup and opportunity, but he's been so bad that I'm wondering if I should give either of the others a second look. Rankings have Mattison and White about the same, with Warren as the dark horse who's probably still a little bit away from being relevant.

I'd go Mattison although I consider it a coin flip with White.


Gus Bus & Evans for the first one. I think I'd give Harris another week in your second. Although I think it's a coin flip with Moss.

Defense is basically a toss-up this week. I'm happy with whoever I get out of those options. The bad NFL offenses are really, really bad.

Got one WR and a standard flex slot (.5 PPR) to fill between these three dudes:

A. Mattison (KC)

R. Doubs (@LV)

Mattison has consistently underperformed but is still averaging double digits. Kirk and Doubs have looked good in recent weeks but ESPN projects them to score less than Mattison (I know ESPN sucks but it's all I got to go on besides goon advice, hence the post).

Please and thank you!

Bench Mattison. Don't get hung up on projections - especially compared to weekly scoring trends.

I'm in bye week hell. Do I pick up Tyler Boyd, Jahan Dotson, or Zach Ertz (lol) to flex over Jordan Addison?

I think I keep things as-is, but last week's goose egg cost me a win - I lost by less than half a point - and Qirk is my QB so I'm doubly hosed if KC owns the Vikings.

My $0.02 on Nacua - start him until there's actually a game where Kupp a) plays and b) takes targets from him.

Docjowles posted:

Agree with this but there’s a huge asterisk that he is an insane trade chip until suddenly he isn’t because Kupp is back and got 15 targets for 180 yards and Puka had 1 target for 8 yards

I think I I’ve been talked into Puka being good even once Kupp comes back by the main fantasy thread, but it’s in his range of outcomes that he is unusable too

I wouldn’t blame anyone for trading Puka if you can get serious value for him

Sit/start thread so I was focused solely on that :)

I have Higbee currently, but think his targets will continue to dry up with Kupp back. Pats look like total garbage. Ertz has 2 other TEs to compete with. Conklin is on the Jets. Gray didn't do a whole lot last time Kelce was out.

Ertz and hope for a TD. He's still one of Dobbs' favorite red zone targets.

I have a coin flip at WR.

Olave @ Houston
Josh Reynolds @ TB

Reynolds had a good week last week with Amon-Ra out, but he's back this week so I expect numbers to drop. Olave has underperformed the last couple weeks because Carr is injured and Houston has not been giving up many points to WR. Even when Reynolds was playing with Amon-Ra he still did pretty good, so I'm leaning Reynolds.

My gut was telling me Olave is still DSYS, but after looking at recent targets and matchups, I think this one's a coin flip.

I have Olave as well and this overthinking has me wondering about my flex spot. Do I bench Olave, start KJ Osborn and Christian Kirk at WR and one of Brian Robinson Jr, JWJ, or Roschon Johnson (assuming the latter two are healthy/cleared) at flex?

I think benching Olave is too galaxy-brained and I should only do it if JWJ is playing -- not for the other two because their matchups are real bad.

With Monty out and Pollard on bye, I currently have Bijan RB1 and Rachaad White filling in RB2. Currently my flex options are Gabe Davis and anyone on waivers since Houston is also on a bye. I see Diontae Johnson got taken off IR and is supposed to play this week. Should I put a claim in on him or roll with what I have? Could also pick up Curtis Samuel who has had a productive last few weeks.

Roll with what you have

I'm going up against the #2 team in the league and I'm already down my top two RBs and two of my top three WRs to injury/bye, so I probably need high upside plays over high floor.

Sit Mattison. He'll get like 7 points on 6 receptions.

Last place in my league so it's a must-win week for me. 1 PPR. Do I make any changes here? Specifically looking at WR and flex positions.



I'm not totally sold on Olave and Kirk and them both playing Thursday gives me very bad vibes. I'm thinking about swapping one out for Pickens and moving Evans into the flex. But at the same time, Pickens' matchup sucks.

It sucks having nothing but mediocre dudes (outside of CMC obviously).

Running Andrews at TE too, in case anyone thinks I should play LaPorta over him.

If you have any Vikings, use one and Mason for your flex with CMC questionable.

Safe play is LaPorta assuming that CMC will play (he was a limited participant in practice today). If you want to take a chance then run Mason.

Consensus seems to be if you need a Steelers RB, go with Warren. Najee hasn't been useful this year and there's no reason to think he'll start now.

In the second choice, I think I'd go Rice in case he's Patrick's favorite this week.

I need a FLEX in .5 PPR:

Josh Downs vs. CLE
Tyler Lockett vs ARI
Royce Freeman vs PIT

Agreeing with the advice here as well. Palmer hasn't done poo poo so until he does I refuse to start him.

For your situation, I think I'm going with Lockett here. Basically as the least-bad option.
