TLockett vs LAR

I'm a Seahawks homer and have 3 other Seahawks starting so leaning towards Lockett.

Lockett for sure

Lockett @DET
Brian Robinson @DEN

Have Lockett in there now. If early results indicate anything then looks like B-Rob is the lead back for WFT and he could be a good volume play, though that Denver D sure didn't seem bothered by Jacobs last week.

Lockett. The Seahawks offence can't possibly be as bad as they were last week and Detroit apparently plays a lot of zone which is what Lockett excels against (per FantasyPros).

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

A. Mattison (KC)
C. Kirk (@BUF)
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!

Kirk personally but I could see picking Doubs as well

Do I play Nacua@PHI or Waddle@GB? Pretty sure GB�s rush defense is like #30, so I�m assuming Achane and Mostert will be the main ball havers, but otoh Coop is back, so I�m not positive I�m going to get 27pts from Nacua again, much less his projected 10.23 (compared to Waddle�s 9.87)

I am reasonably annoyed that auto draft grabbed Waddle @ #2 in the draft before I realised what time it was

Phillys pass defence isn't that great so far this year so Nacua imo

I assume since kupp is playing he's an auto start already, he is going to play right? He'd be replacing c. Kirk or Aaron Jones

Yeah I think you have to put Kupp in the lineup, probably in place of Kirk.

Should I start Goff or Stafford in a 6 pt TD league? Currently have Goff but Sun God and Gibbs are going to be out and Kupp is in so I'm conflicted.

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 as he's still getting a ridiculous number of targets I believe

If you cant decide who to start use these charts. If you still cant decide, ask a magic 8 ball

Enemy Rush% is a proxy for gamescript. RBs score similar against DET and ATL but are much more likely to abandon the run against DET.

Opponent Pass Quality is dropbacks where QB wasnt hurried, hit, or sacked. So WRs score similarly vs. BUF and NO but QBs are running for their lives against BUF while teams are getting to do what they want against NO.

Data from PFR

Gatdang these are great

getting real tired of my WRs, need a WR2 and FLEX, 0.5PPR

McLaurin vPHI
Dameon Pierce @CAR
Olave @IND
Lockett vCLE

Pierce hasn't been great but Carolina's run D is atrocious. Olave and Lockett have been consistently getting 6-9 points, I don't think Olave is a stud at this point.

I'd go Olave and Pierce. Philly's secondary hasn't been great, but I think their pass rush will be way too much for Howell to handle. Plus, none of the Washington WRs really stands out as the #1 guy so far. Though I guess keep an eye on Olave's legal situation.

Also, pick one 0.5 PPR:

Aaron Jones v Min
Joe Mixon @ SF

Deep 0.5 PPR league

Pick one for Flex:
DeMarcus Robinson v WAS
Tyler Boyd v MIN
Darren Waller @ NO

I'm a big underdog in this matchup so my thoughts on starting Robinson are: he's at least shown a bit of juice in the last couple weeks (unlike Boyd) and that Atwell seems very questionable to play. I threw Waller in there, it's not likely that he does much even if he plays, but who knows!

Championship game 6PT throwing TD, pick one starting QB:

Trevor Lawrence v CAR
Russ Wilson v LAC (waiver claim)
Baker Mayfield v NO

I'm thinking Baker but if I'm able to get Russ, he's got a great matchup.

1 ppr, pick 2

Jerome Ford v NYJ
James Conner @Phi
Chris Godwin v NO

Ford plays Thursday in the rain, but I think the jets def is bad against the run? Conner plays Philly which I'm not sure about and Godwin had one of his better games against NO this year since they shut down Mike Evans usually.

Ford's been super disappointing lately. I'd roll the dice on Conner and hope that NO focuses on Evans rather than Godwin

Sleeper likes the Rams slightly over the Bears, but Chicago has been very good the last 4 weeks

Here's a fun one that I need an answer to soon .5 PPR

Njoku v NYJ
Pacheco v CIN
Zamir White @ IND
OBJ v MIA
Keenan Allen @ DEN

Do I play Njoku tonight or hope either Pacheco or Allen can play (seems unlikely) or Jacobs is out again (looking likely) or be stuck with OBJ. Flacco has a good connection with Njoku and no Amari Cooper tonight could mean a big game for him.

I think I go with Njoku, like you said he has a good connection with Flacco and NYJ is middle of the pack against TEs
