Fantasy Football Discussion 12-15

Alfred Morris @ Raiders
Jonathan Stewart vs Packers
Derrick Henry @ 49ers


Marqise Lee vs Texans

a mistake starting Demaryius Thomas?

Now I have to choose Perine or Goodwin half PPR

having a huge first half last night until Siemien went down. Then Brock came in and never looked his way again. Brutal.

TE STREAM: Ebron vs CHI or V. Davis vs ARI?

I don't think his league allows a wishbone.

it's pretty bizarre. DeAndre Hopkins went from a top 5 WR two years ago to bottom feeder last year (thanks to Brock), back to top WR this year.

Damage control , Usually the stud CB covers the stud WR

who I'm cool to roll with, but would you start any of these over him (non-ppr)

Cameron Brate vs ATL
Jared Cook vs DAL
OJ Howard vs ATL
Eric Ebron vs CHI
ASJ @NO

I like Engram more than them, just curious what others think.

I'd probably just roll with Engram, might consider Ebron from that list. The Bears are likely going to be without their best S, Adrian Amos, so that could open Ebron up to some better matchups.

in a PPR. Need upside

AJ Green @ MIN
Marquise Goodwin vs TEN
Marvin Jones vs CHI
Travis Kelce vs LAC
Cooper Kupp @ SEA
Jimmy Graham vs LAR

He's been a real weapon, even though SD DEF has been good against the pass, they've allowed the 8th most PPR fantasy points to tight ends over the past 3 weeks, 14th most over the last 5 weeks, and 26th over the course of the entire season. This suggests they are trending worse in this area recently, and Kelce is the top scoring TE on the season (PPR or standard), and Kelce has been particularly good in 5 of the last 6 weeks. Sure, Kelce had his worst game of the season when the Chiefs faced the Chargers in week 3, but that was a long time ago and I don't think a player of his caliber is going to have another game like that this week. IMO, Kelce has to be in your lineup.

I actually also think that, after being held without a catch on just two targets last week, Jimmy Graham is going to bounce back and be a part of the game plan this week. Speculative on my part. I wouldn't play him over Kelce, not by a long shot, though.

Finally, I'd love to know who is in your regular WR spots that you can't find a spot for Goodwin. I think Goodwin is a very strong play this week (top 12 play this week, IMO).

If I had to pick just one, though, Kelce by a good margin.

Engram, don't overthink it.

You have to pick one to SIT, not start

I'd sit Kupp. Coming off a pretty big week - I doubt he replicates that this week.

If you're really feeling bold, you can sit AJ.

With Seattle's banged up D, I think Kupp is a great play again this week. I have Graham as the sit right now, I think he bounces back from last week's 0 but I think he has the lowest upside of this group. Even if he has a 2 TD game, I'm not sure he's getting more than 5 catches or 50 yards.

If Woods was still out, I'd definitely play Kupp - but I think Woods will put a dent in his production.

That said, the volume has been there in recent weeks and he's doing well with it, so.

You can definitely make a good case to sit Graham.

That might be it, but how's that working out for Brock and his team(s)? Avoiding his best WR because he's covered by the opponents best CB = not very good QB.

standard league - Stafford or Matty Ryan.... I'm leaning Stafford....whaddaya say?

New Orleans at home VS the Jets

Eagles at the Giants

Thanks!!

I'd go with Ryan, nobody gives up as many yards passing as Tampa, and that should lead to TD's

I have the same, I'm going with New Orleans.

No quit in team leatherneck... nothing to play for, still making moves.

That's who I currently am going with, just wanted to see other opinions. Probably a toss up, but like the saints at home vs Petty

I'm starting the Saints in one of my playoff matchups. Pretty confident in that play.

In that case, I would bench A.J. Green. I know it's a really tough sit, but I do think a lot of people are going to be sorry if they play him this week.

If you simply can't do it, bench Graham. Despite me saying I liked him earlier, his risk is a lot higher.

Bears dst vs browns or steelers at texans

Need three of these RBs in a PPR league...

Kamara vs Jets
Melvin Gordon @ KC
McCaffrey vs GB
Drake @ Buff

Full ppr
Hill vs. chargers
Josh Gordon vs ravens

Yeah, it's really Green vs Graham for me. Green has a tough matchup but the Bengals are going to be chasing points the whole game with all of the D players they are missing. Do they shut it down completely early? I'm leaning to yes.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter much as the only thing I'm playing for there is a contest wide prize I likely have no chance to win. I'm probably going to go Graham.

Eli always seems to throw atleast one weird INT to Philly. Even if he does not that Philly D-line is going to get after Eli and I expect some fumbles to go with the sacks. All that being said, every time this year I went for or against the Giants I got burned, if I had another reasonable option I would stay away from the Giants.

I'm way too damn competitive to at least not to try to win my remaining head-to-head matchups.
