Fantasy FF - 10/20

nice matchup for Thomas, but with Allen banged up I'd go with Doyle

too, are you sure Eifert isn't going to play? I thought I read he's practicing. Not sure even if he does play they don't ease him back into things, but I'd check on it.

the Giants generally have a good run D, but nothing like what Gurley has faced most weeks this season.

I don't think I'd start Michael @ARI over Gurley vs NYG.

He's starting to look like he may play and has a great matchup if he does.

True and I have him stashed away in one league too. However, I would not chance using him in his first game back. Would rather go with a guy who has been giving consistent production at or near double digits.

If your choice is between Eifert who is "starting" in his first week back vs a guy who has no track record at all... then sure go with Eifert.

and I would still start Gurley. They'll give him carries regardless and Giants have given up 3-4 rushing TD's I think past three weeks

I think a 20 carry, 80 yard, 1 TD game for Gurley could be realistic. Not game-breaking in a real-life scenario but enough for fantasy

with Riddick questionable. Need to pick up a QB which I'm not doing until Sunday when I know inactives. Probably go with Alex Smith at home vs the Saints if no one else picks him up.

I wish I knew what was going on with Riddick. Picked up Washington in case he can't go, but I need that roster spot for a QB as I don't want to drop one of Smallwood/DeAngelo/Dixon. Too much potential value for a 1 week QB rental.

Christine Michael, Diggs, and Cameron Meredith for Antonio Brown and McKinnon in non-PPR.

Thoughts? My team is pretty good and has a good chance to make the playoffs, so I'm willing to put up with a few down weeks for Brown while Roethlisberger is out. (I have Cooks, Allen Robinson, and Marvin Jones, so I don't even need to play Brown if he falls off a cliff for these few weeks.)

I had him and gave up on him.

West just looks too good. I don't see any reason for them to even ease Dixon into the rotation with West running like that.

And you can always pick him back up can't you? My league is FAAB so I can drop and re-get anyone if I want them enough.

owners such as myself, is there any updated news on his ankle situation? I read that he was going to get a second opinion.

In other news though apparently he gained back all of the weight he lost in the offseason sigh - back up from 235 to 265

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
Theo Riddick
Darren Sproles
Bobby Rainey
Knile Davis
Mike Gilisee

I'm a fan. I know Brown's production may go down a bit but he's still their top guy - even on bad teams top receivers put up ok numbers.

It's funny those I have literally those exact same receivers minus Robinson (incl Brown)

I just know as soon as I do that West will suck or get hurt, and Dixon will find himself as a bellcow. Not sure if its worth dropping for a 1 week rental. I'm inclined to start Anderson and Booker Monday night and take the L.

I wouldn't touch starting Davis tonight. I'd start Riddick and Gilisee and revise as needed this weekend.

might be the last of the three I would go with. Eifert and Thomas are coming off injuries, but I don't know what scoring you use where he is "at or near double digits." In my non-PPR ESPN league he put up 11 last week and had a big week one, but he had less than a full point weeks 4 and 5. More than half the time he put up under 4 points. I would probably go with Thomas against the Raiders.

Oh, and I'd start Gurley too.

It's a hard spot because Riddick was out last week and didn't practice yesterday. You're right that Davis isn't a good option because he's only had a few days with the team, but he is their only healthy RB right? Bears run defense isn't good either?

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.

or Fitzgerald vs Seattle?

but I don't like Doyle much.

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.

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

Flex - Fitz vs Seattle or Tate vs Washington?
RB - Hill vs CLE or Gillislee @ MIA (assuming McCoy's out)

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.

Practice squad that was promoted... been getting the 1st team reps

Might as well take a flyer.

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.

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.

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.

and will likely be vultured by WR's that you can't start at RB.

missed practice again

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

is the easy choice if McCoy can't go.

and they are saying it could be multiple weeks.

Wilson at AZ Sunday night
Hoyer at GB tonight?

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

Mccoy out this week and maybe several more. Per rotoworld.

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?

but when it's a guy like Hoyer vs Wilson, I'm not going with the guy on the rd thu night.

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.

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)

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.

out tonight I think. They are banged up. I'd probably lean towards Hoyer unless you have a better option available in FA.

This week ?

he's got no one else and its guaranteed volume. SD WR's are very streaky.

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.

Carey is going to steal time, as is Ivory I guess. I'd just go with the better matchup.

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.

misses practice for an unknown reason. Hopefully it's a personal matter but I'm guessing this is more awful injury news.

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?

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.

about Montgomery not being RB eligible?

about his eligibility on the front page lol

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
