NFT: FFT 10/17 Start/Sit

superspynyg : 10/17/2024 9:39 am
pick 2 wrs to start this week (NONPPR):

Davante Adams, Stephon Diggs, Tank Dell.

ALSO

If Jordan Mason is out would you start Guerendo over Kareem Hunt?

I am 2-4 and need a win this week.

TIA
I hate starting two WRs from the same team...

but with this being the first game back for Adams and with a new team, I'm not sure how effective he'll be.

I would go Diggs and Dell.

As far as the RB goes, I do like Hunt as a volume guy based on his previous game.
Hard to not play Adams

you’ve stashed him for weeks, can’t not play him now especially when, I suspect, Rodgers will feed him. Toss up on the Texans WRs, seems like a game to game thing on who does better, Diggs is probably safer though.

I would agree if they didn't have Wilson. While Adams will get his targets, it's not like he's the only one Rodgers will look to, especially since Rodgers is also not playing so hot either. And they're playing against the Steelers.

I would see how Adams does before relying on him, especially when Dell and Diggs will both get targets.
I'm in a pickle...

Currently I have:
RB1: K.Walker
WR1: M.Nabers

I need:
RB2, WR2, Flex

RB: D.Achane, J.Taylor (T.Sermon/T.Goodson as sub), K.Hunt, T.Tracy, Z.Charbonnet

WR: J.Smith-Schuster, R.Odunze, W.Robinson

I'm thinking I'll go with:
RB2: D.Achane
WR2: J.Smith-Schuster
Flex: J.Taylor

Sure, I get it. I think Adams is rearing to go and the Jets will look to get payoff on that transaction asap. He’s also immediately their best RZ target.

Dell/Diggs is fine too, can’t really go wrong at this point with all the injuries across the league.
You play Achane and Taylor is they are active  
UConn4523 : 10/17/2024 10:06 am : link
so it’s really just 1 decision IMO and it’ll come down to inactives.
Too Many WRs, not enough RBs  
Eli Wilson : 10/17/2024 11:47 am : link
Going to try to pull off a trade, but in the meantime

I need to pick from 3 of the following for WR:
J Jefferson
D Adams
C Kupp
B Aiyuk
J Reed

And from 2 of the following RBs:
N Harris
T Etienne (Not likely to play)
T Tracy
A Mattison
Diggs and Dell

You can't start Adams after only a few days with the Jets and their offense. I get his familiarity with Rodgers but it's very unlikely he'll even see the snaps to allow him much fantasy utility this week.

And Info think there's enough meat on the bone for both Diggs and Dell to perform with Collins out.

As far as your 2nd question. I would start any starting RB in a Shanahan coached offense over Kareem Hunt and over most fantasy RBs. ANY KYLE SHANAHAN STARTING RB, YOU SHOULD ALSO START.

Sorry for "yelling", but it needs to be yelled from the rooftops if anyone has a question about it.
I have a couple …  
Leg of Theismann : 10/17/2024 4:58 pm : link
Mahomes or Purdy?

Metcalf or McLaurin (non-ppr)?

The way I feel about starting 2 WRs from the same team (obviously assuming they are each good options in their own right)…

If you are favored to win your FF matchup for the week, do it. If you’re not favored to win, different story.

Why? Because starting 2 WRs from the same team lowers the variance of outcomes, because one guy will eat up the other guy’s stats if either one under-performs (i.e. you have lower likelihood of 2 booms or 2 busts, you’re more likely to get something in the range of the projected point total for the 2 players). If you are favored to win, you want to tend toward lower variance of outcomes.
