Fantasy FF - 10/20

giantgiantfan : 10/20/2016 12:24 pm
Couldn't find a thread for today, so thought I'd get it started. Point me to existing thread and I'll delete.

My question starts at the TE position in a PPR.

TE Options: Jack Doyle vs Julius Thomas

I have Eifert stashed away, but he is unlikely to play I would think.

At RB I am currently running with Christine Michaels and Melvin Gordon with Todd Gurley, Jacquizz Rodgers, Chris Ivory, and the injured Doug Martin on the bench.

is apparently getting all of the carries and Davis just started practicing. Unless its a ton of misinformation, I wouldn't feel confident starting Davis. Half those other RB's should get you 5-7 points. David could get you as low as 0. I wouldn't take the risk, but that's just me. If Riddick can't go, just plug someone else in.


Yea, you're probably right. My team is actually good cause I went with zero RB strategy but it's not fun picking this sort of crap to start each week.

options would you start this week in a 0.5 ppr league? Davis goes tonight, so I'd need to decide before 8 if I'm going to put him in. I'm leaning toward starting Davis tonight and see picking the other sunday morning.

Matt Forte
Arian Foster - doubt he gets a big workload after Ajayi's performance last week. They gotta stick with the hot hand (at least early) and BUF's D is pretty good
Theo Riddick
Darren Sproles
Bobby Rainey
Knile Davis - only 2 days of practice with the team, but the only healthy RB. I'd probably gamble with him.
Mike Gilisee - if McCoy's out, he'd probably be my top choice from this group, but too early to know
0.5 PPR  
giants#1 : 10/20/2016 1:20 pm : link
Flex - Fitz vs Seattle or Tate vs Washington?
RB - Hill vs CLE or Gillislee @ MIA (assuming McCoy's out)
now reporting  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 1:26 pm : link
Don Jackson to be featured at RB. Haha, what a mess. I'm just going to avoid this situation altogether and try to grab Starks as a FA next week and stash him.
Don Jackson in Gb  
Saos1n : 10/20/2016 1:43 pm : link
Practice squad that was promoted... been getting the 1st team reps
Dropped Powell for Jackson..  
arcarsenal : 10/20/2016 1:50 pm : link
Might as well take a flyer.
In a PPR, Doyle has gone  
YAJ2112 : 10/20/2016 2:02 pm : link
18.5
7.7
12.5
1.6
2.8
15.3

Allen had 6 and 4 targets in Doyle's 2 worst games. If he is out, pretty easy to expect Doyle to get 10+ again.
The game is tonight  
pjcas18 : 10/20/2016 2:03 pm : link
it would take some balls to start Don Jackson in fantasy football from the PS to prime time.

Last time I tried something like that with a Packer RB was starting Rondell Mealey (in place of an injured Ahman Green). That didn't work out all that great.
I'm definitely not starting Jackson..  
arcarsenal : 10/20/2016 2:08 pm : link
But I picked him up just in case he plays well and winds up getting the bulk of the carries for a few weeks.

Also stashed Starks in my other league.
that backfield just sucks  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 2:32 pm : link
and will likely be vultured by WR's that you can't start at RB.
McCoy  
kash94 : 10/20/2016 3:50 pm : link
missed practice again
Of these 6 RB's  
kash94 : 10/20/2016 3:52 pm : link
which two would you start?

1- Yeldon
2- Ivory
3- Don Jackson
4- Sproles
5- Mathews
6- Gillese

Thinking Gillese + Yeldon for now due to the poor defenses they play. One thing about sproles is that minny has given up a ton of receiving yards to RB's
Gilesse  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 3:59 pm : link
is the easy choice if McCoy can't go.
McCoy is now out

and they are saying it could be multiple weeks.

Fish : 10/20/2016 4:03 pm : link
Wilson at AZ Sunday night
Hoyer at GB tonight?
I want no part of a road team

on thu night games(unless they are studs), but that's just me.

26.2 : 10/20/2016 4:06 pm : link
Mccoy out this week and maybe several more. Per rotoworld.
the McCoy news  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 4:06 pm : link
puts my matchup back into me having somewhat of a chance since he was otherwise at full strength. He also has Pryor but I'm guessing he plays.

So you wouldn't start Jeffery this week over a guy like E. Sanders?
I'm prob not going that far,  
Keith : 10/20/2016 4:14 pm : link
but when it's a guy like Hoyer vs Wilson, I'm not going with the guy on the rd thu night.
Jeffery over Sanders is close  
giants#1 : 10/20/2016 4:15 pm : link
I'd go Sanders if it's PPR.

But I think he was referring to benching Wilson in favor of Hoyer. Most leagues have guys on waivers that are likely to outproduce Hoyer any given week so starting him on the road in a Thursday night matchup is gutsy.
Im desperate  
Fish : 10/20/2016 4:25 pm : link
therefore trying to catch lighting in a bottle. Wilson has been brutal and playing on road vs Cards is not what the doc ordered therefore considering Hoyer with x4 300 yds games in a row. (Side note: I have howard going as well)
Who would you start  
pjcas18 : 10/20/2016 4:31 pm : link
in PPR:

Howard @GB
Yeldon vs OAK

Normally I'd start Howard since he won the starting job, but Oakland is giving up almost 7 yards per play and the most yards per game in the league.
Green Bay has like 3 CB's  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 4:37 pm : link
out tonight I think. They are banged up. I'd probably lean towards Hoyer unless you have a better option available in FA.
Is Jaquizz Rodgers worth starting over Travis Benjamin ?  
DennyInDenville : 10/20/2016 4:37 pm : link
This week ?
i think so  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 4:44 pm : link
he's got no one else and its guaranteed volume. SD WR's are very streaky.
I'd start Rodgers over Benjamin  
pjcas18 : 10/20/2016 4:47 pm : link
no thoughts on this dilemna?


Howard @GB
Yeldon vs OAK

I think I'm going to yank Howard from my lineup. Start Yeldon. Yeldon sucked last week, and Ivory vultured the TD, but I think they'll have to pass a lot and that means more Yeldon.
Yeldon  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 5:03 pm : link
Carey is going to steal time, as is Ivory I guess. I'd just go with the better matchup.
Thanks also how about Hunter Henry or Julius Thomas?  
DennyInDenville : 10/20/2016 5:17 pm : link

Ugh this McCoy news is awful for me.

Keith : 10/20/2016 6:12 pm : link
The Associated Press' John Wawrow reports "a person with direct knowledge of LeSean McCoy's hamstring injury" told him that McCoy will be a "game-time decision" week 7 against Miami.
This directly contradicts a report from ESPN's Josina Anderson, who reported McCoy isn't expected to play and could miss multiple weeks. Wawrow isn't a typical Rotoworld source, but it's worth noting nonetheless. At the end of the day, the Bills will likely hold McCoy out to prevent him from further injuring his hamstring in a very winnable game against the Dolphins' bottom-barrel run defense. It's a tough game for McCoy owners to miss out on, but Mike Gillislee is a very capable fill-in.
Graham  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 7:38 pm : link
misses practice for an unknown reason. Hopefully it's a personal matter but I'm guessing this is more awful injury news.
Just made a trade, what do you guys think?  
EricJ : 10/20/2016 9:39 pm : link
I am giving up TY Hilton and Tevin Coleman for Antonio Brown. I am 5-1 in my league and feel comfortable that I will be in my league playoffs. My thoughts are that Ben will be back in a few weeks...well before the playoffs.

Thoughts?
Great trade  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 9:50 pm : link
he produced with Jones last year. He won't have all world numbers but he's going to still have a top 5 season.

I have made three trades in that league so far. Really incredible what I have been able to stockpile. On that team, my WRs are now Brown, AJ Green, Marvin Jones and Travis Benjamin.
Anyone else's league members bitching

about Montgomery not being RB eligible?

Sucks I got outbid for Montgomery by like 2 bucks.

Really could have used him if they're going to deploy him like this until Starks is back.

basically says that they have been getting a lot of inquiries about his position status. For now they are keeping him as a WR but they may change it in the future.

I know they want to be careful here. This could just be a one week thing at RB for him. I remember back when Colston was a rookie. They had him listed as a WR/TE. After his first week of great production, I picked him up on waivers and played him at TE all year. It was really unfair for the rest of the league because I had a TE with WR production.

Cruzin : 10/20/2016 11:27 pm : link
We've had several questions about Ty Montgomery being eligible at RB. He only qualifies as a WR for now. We will update if that changes. Please refer to the Packers' official roster below: http://www.packers.com/team/players.html
Montgomery should be involved until Starks comes back  
Cruzin : 10/20/2016 11:31 pm : link

If he gets RB eligibility he could be worth 5 or 6 catches in PPR plus the yardage, I wouldn't expect too much though.

The smart play here is to grab Starks and put him on IR where available. He should be a solid starting RB for the stretch run and the playoffs.
He had 9 carries  
UConn4523 : 10/20/2016 11:37 pm : link
and I don't think McCarthy changes the depth chart. People bitching about it are nuts.

Agree on Starks, going to put a waiver claim in on him after this week. I'd grab him now but I have my last spot taken by a backup QB with Cam on BYE.
I'm in a crazy league  
Orbeven : 10/21/2016 8:37 am : link
and I need help. There are ten teams, and we can start 3qbs including one at a flex position. I did the math and a lot of teams don't have enough qb's to cover bye weeks. I grabbed 4 good qbs, and don't know who to sit this week. I have Brees, Stafford, Rivers, and Eli. I generally leave 20-50 points on the bench at the QB position and it could hurt me this week. (I'm 6-0)

Also trying to decide on K, Gostkowski or Tucker. I've picked the right K every week and it's giving me monster points for the position. Usually I go with the one that had the bad game last week, but for 2 weeks now they've been very close.

I'd bench Eli, London games are typically slop fests due to the travel/field and OBJ is gimpy.

And being able to start 3 QBs in a 10 team league is just dumb.

Yeah, I joined a ten year old league last year, last second, just to keep it with ten teams. Came in second last year. It was too easy to corner QB's. Thanks for the input!
