This week off to a good start for me. My opponent had Matt Ryan and Ted Ginn combine for less than 10 points.
Which Qb to start???
Goff vs Phi
or
Winston vs Det?
also Robbie Anderson strained his hamstring yesterday so I picked up SF WR Goodwin
pick my non ppr wr
Goodwin vs Houston
Baldwin at Jax
or roll with Anderson (if he goes and hope he does not leave the game)
As for your QB quandary, matchup dictates Jameis. I would play him, and avoid the Philly 'D' coming off a loss.
That one hurts. First drive of the game, and he already had 25 yards. That one really sucks, I thought he was going to have a big game.
BTW, Bernard looks to be the main back in Cincy this week. If he's available, worth pick up and start.
For the WRs, I'd rank them
Goodwin - safest of the 3 and the best matchup
Anderson - hammy could be an issue even if he plays and has a tough matchup vs Talib/Harris on 60% of the snaps
Baldwin - not as worried about the CB matchup since he mainly plays in the slot, but thinking this is a low scoring game and Jax's pass rush may harass Wilson all day.
Now it comes down to (my team on the left):
Tom Brady vs Dak Prescott
Mike Evans vs Keenan Allen (really need Evans to wake up)
Jordan Howard vs Todd Gurley
Travis Kelce vs Zach Ertz
Gio Bernard (maybe) vs Fitz
Elliot vs Butker
Rams (maybe) vs Seattle
Gronk suspension hurts me.
Questions are do I start:
Rams D or Bengals or Packers.
and assuming Mixon is out:
Bernard or Dede Westbrook or Delanie Walker (if he plays) or Amari Cooper (if he plays)
leaning Bernard and Rams D right now, but if Burfict and Jones play may swap out Rams D for Bengals D.
Relying on Brady, but I agree I should win, but as we all know most of this will be determined by luck.
Am I crazy to play Dede over Hilton? TY has a solid machup but even as the #1WR in that offense he still never seems to see a boatload of targets so if he doesn't hit on a big play or score, he usually winds up with a 5 point day.
Dede seems like a safe bet for 8-10 looks and I think Hurns is still hurt and Lee has a banged up foot.
Trying to maximize the targets/touches in my lineup here.
Should I pick up the Lions (vs Bears) to block him from using them against me or keep Austin Ekeler on my bench (I own Melvin Gordon).
Bengals or Chargers DST this week?

I am actually putting Dede as my flex this week. Tough match-up, but they should be throwing a lot.

Let us know either way, so I can do the opposite of whatever you do with TY :)
I tried to get him, but missed out. I underestimated the FAAB he'd get. People stash their money to the end of the year and then overbid.
I bid $66 on Gio Bernard. My opponent had $65 left, and I had $100. I bid $30 of my remaining pool on Rodgers and someone used their full remaining $130 on Rodgers.
I'd love to have him even as a preemptive move to keep him away from a competitor since I have Brady.
but I also have roster spots blocked with DeShaun Watson and Beckham who I'll probably keep next year (no IR spots), so my options were limited. I was going to have to drop Dede Westbrook to get Rodgers anyway.
I have him stashed in our league and also in my 12 team where I have a bye.
I made a massive mistake and thought he was owned in my 10 team.. he just got scooped this past Sunday. I'm in a win and in, lose and out situation in that league but if I had advanced, I think I would have won the league with that stash.
I think he's definitely playing next week.

I've made my difficult lineup decisions for this week well-documented... off to exactly the start I figured. 20 Sanu points on my bench.

It would honestly be an excellent strategy. If I bench him, he's going to put up one of his 7-151-2 games. If I play him, it'll be 3-45-0.
Jamaal Williams (vs CLE) or Derrick Henry (vs AZ)
~~~~
So Jamaal has been great, but there has been some talk that he will get less carries now that Aaron Williams has been back?
Henry has been slowly getting more carries, but is pretty boom/bust. Really depends if he can get a TD...
Zach Ertz (vs RAMS) or Hunter Henry (vs WAS)
~~~~~
Ertz cleared concussion protocal but I'm not sure how effective he will be. Henry has been on a tear and apparently WAS is awful against TEs
Appreciate the help!!!

I'd go Williams over Derrick Henry for sure.
Ertz vs Hunter Henry is tough, love HH's matchup this week. Really tough to sit Ertz who's been a top target all season though.

Williams and Ertz (if healthy)
As are Burfict and Kirkpatrick. No word on Jones, so I'm backing off CIN D, but still considering GB or sticking with the Rams.
Bernard now solid in my flex over Delanie Walker and Dede Westbrook.
Also, confirming what most already knew, Amari Cooper out.

Not sure those injuries will matter for Cincy D if Peterman is playing. Any word on Tyrod?

No Tyrod announcement and from what I've read sounds like McDermott will milk this into a legit GTD.
How is Baldwin even a question? He should be on your must start list every week especially in comparison to those other two WRs. The other spot Is probably a coin flip.

Baldwin isn’t a must start this week vs the best defense in the league. It’s a legitimate question. Baldwin arguably isn’t even a lock in plus matchups due to usage concerns week to week.
