Which defense?

I have the Bears and I also picked up the Jets. Mack is back in for the Bears this week and of course the Jets get the Bills.

Side note, I have Kareem Hunt and last week Ware saw a little more action. I wanted to pickup Ware not only as a handcuff but in the event that in the championship week Andy Reed rests Hunt. I would have to drop the Jets to pick him up.

I would go with the Jets. Matt Barkley for Christ sakes.
Jets-Bills may actually  
dep026 : 11/11/2018 8:22 am : link
Be a worse game than ours. Thank god it’s my local game.
The Bears  
BigBlueShock : 11/11/2018 8:26 am : link
For a couple reasons. First of all, they are basically matchup proof. You don’t want to be the guy to bench them for the freakin Jets and end up regretting it. Secondly, and probably more importantly, why the hell would you want to have to keep checking in to the Jets-Bills game? Screw that man. Jets should be out of sight and out of mind, lol.

haha.. too funny. I was prepared to start the Jets but then with Mack coming back, etc

I could also drop david moore of Seattle to grab Ware
Last Flex is a tossup  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 9:08 am : link
Kerryon Johnson at Chicago or Maurice Harris at Tampa. With the Tampa game hopefully a shootout im leaning Harris.

Kerryon. I wanted to go with him.... but I just got a suspicious feeling Kerryon is going to vulture a TD this week.
I’m confused  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 9:16 am : link
wouldn’t Kerryon scoring be ideal? Unless I’m reading your post wrong.

Go with kerryon. I have him on my squad, but I benched him for Ito Smith and I am thinking twice about it.
Usually its been the other way around  
pjcas18 : 11/11/2018 9:22 am : link
Kerryon carries the rock to the red zone and Blount vultures the TD's. I hope that changes, though Kerryon is on my bench, still may keep him for next year.
How's this for a QB conundrum

Stafford easily.

They will throw it a lot. He may get sacked 100 times, but he should get a few TDs.

that's what i thought last week, but he was overwhelmed. Now the Bears?
John Ross or Baldwin?

Standard scoring.
Heads up for those needing QB help  
jgambrosio : 11/11/2018 10:00 am : link
Baltimore may sit flacco after the bye with his injury and start Lamar Jackson here on out. I snagged him this morning as a flyer.
Which TE  
pjcas18 : 11/11/2018 10:05 am : link
in PPR:

Jordan Reed @TB

or

Trey Burton vs DET

Burton  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 10:08 am : link
Reed looks finished. Maybe that means he will prove me wrong this week but I think the injuries have made their mark.
I have similar TE dilemma  
nygfaninorlando : 11/11/2018 10:14 am : link
Reed vs TB or Njoku vs ATL

Also at WR have to choose 2 from TY Hilton, Valdes-Scantling and Tyler Lockett.
Lol  
djm : 11/11/2018 10:41 am : link
Sit the bears for the jets d. Please. Aren’t the bears playing a shitty lions team in Chicago?

Cmon. Even if the jets d turns out to be the right play you don’t bench the bears D in a favorable matchup for the fucking jets. Jets aren’t even that bad, but cmon.

The bears have scored 30 more dst pts this season than the jets and the jets haven’t even had their bye yet. The bears are number 1.

Ridiculous debate.

One has been a FF beast for 3 years running. The other is John Ross. John Ross works at my local deli.

Baldwin.

Baldwin has been trash this year. Ross is healthy with AJ Green out playing in the highest projected game total on the slate.
Interesting dilema for my Flex Option...

Josh Gordon at Tennessee or Sterling Shepard on MNF? I'm in a PPR league...

I am still struggling with this decision..  
EricJ : 11/11/2018 11:25 am : link
as more news has surfaced over the past 24 hrs...

In a standard league, I need TWO of these...

Ingram
Fournette
Michel
Calvin Ridley
Id got Fournette and Ridley  
dep026 : 11/11/2018 11:29 am : link
Michel will play... but will he just be eased backed in?
Thanks EricJ....  
BamaBlue : 11/11/2018 11:36 am : link
I was leaning toward Gordon, but Shepard will have a great opportunity. The only DB worth a crap on the 49ers is Richard Sherman and he'll be on O'Dell all night. Shepard (and Engram) should have a big game -- if Eli gets a little time and they can hang-on to the ball.

Yea I was gonna say Fournette and Ingram. Can’t predict TDs but those two are guaranteed volume today.

Normally, I'd say Johnson but he's battling ankle injuries and hasn't looked himself past few weeks. Not to mention tough Bears D.

I'd go with Ito, whose scored a TD in 4 of past 5 games and should be in a shootout.
Since I doubt Carson plays

Gordon has a much better shot at scoring a TD vs Shepard. I think the Giants WRs only have 3 TDs on the season. Just looking at who plays on a better offense is enough for me to select Gordon. Then, factor in that Gronk is out and more targets possibly for Gordon.
I am an idiot..  
EricJ : 11/11/2018 1:39 pm : link
I sat Ingram for Ridley

That’s what I’d do too.
I did start Ingram today in one league but I had little choice  
djm : 11/11/2018 1:53 pm : link
I would have started fournette over Ingram if I had that choice.

Side note I really prefer to ride the same lineup all year even if there are some 50-50 calls and matchups that scream otherwise. I hate flip flopping as it always seems to come back to bite you. The only exceptions are when one of your guys is facing THE best defense, and your other body is as good an option, statistically. Other than those complete no brainer decisions I stay the course. Matchup decisions are largely a fool’s errand. Great players produce no matter what and you will be rewarded in the end, usually, lol. Sometimes FF hates you no matter what.
Oh  
djm : 11/11/2018 1:55 pm : link
And fuck Eric ebron.
I think Fournette is in for a rough season  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 2:10 pm : link
and since he doesn’t catch passes he’s going to have bleak weeks in fantasy. The OLine isn’t playing at nearly the level and Bortles regressed.
I'm getting my ass kicked early  
jgambrosio : 11/11/2018 3:32 pm : link
Playing against fournette, Chubb, Ingram, Julio, even bortles has 19 points. Golladay with another shitty fantasy game
Golladay  
pjcas18 : 11/11/2018 3:46 pm : link
TD, I need that.

I have Brees, M. Thomas, Chubb, Golladay

TD salvages a little from Golladay.

I am gonna lose because I didn’t use him. I hope you did.
Nope  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 4:17 pm : link
used Harris but I’m going to win going away most likely due to Brees, Hill and DJ. Glad he finally had a big game, gives me confidence in him moving forward.

He really can do it all. I don’t know why they even have Blount on the roster.

They tried to have Blount vulture his rushing TD, they had 1st and goal at the 1 and Blount ran it on 1st and 2nd down for no-gain either time. Finally they put in KJ and he scored over the pile on 3rd and 1.

Yeah that will happen and I’m fine with vultured TDs  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 5:18 pm : link
I was getting made earlier in the season when they’d give a whole series to Blount. When that happens it decreases touches which decrease the odds of a long TD that a guy like Johnson has a shot at. Touching it 20 times especially when trailing is a huge tick up in his value. If that stays consistent then his weekly floor could be 10 points.
I'd rather they  
pjcas18 : 11/11/2018 5:20 pm : link
didn't vulture the TD's for KJ with Blount who stinks. No idea how a KJ owner would be "fine" with the vultured TD's.

That’s taken out of context and not what I meant  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 5:24 pm : link
what I meant was that his volume is more important because that means the TDS will come. Vulturing TDS when the guy only gets 10 touches is frustrating but if hes going to get 20 touches the TDS will come like they did today (the 2nd one). Also not worthy is then passing to him over Riddick.
Makes more sense that  
pjcas18 : 11/11/2018 5:31 pm : link
when you rephrase it, but I still prefer under either circumstance, 1st and goal, my RB being the one in the backfield.

Of course  
UConn4523 : 11/11/2018 5:36 pm : link
I’m not happy about it, it’s just more tolerable if he’s going to get a bulk of the carries and some of the passing down work.
Talk about bad beats  
jgambrosio : 11/11/2018 7:23 pm : link
On pace to score 126 points, second best in my league. Who am I playing? Guy who's on pace to score 140... Need huge games from breida and engram tomorrow...
OJ Howard  
nygnyy274 : 11/12/2018 6:06 am : link
1 catch for 15 yards. I lose cooper kupp after just trading for him. Valdes Scantlen Maurice Harris Adam humphries we’re hyped all week and we’re all duds. I’m sick of fantasy it’s all about luck
Those 3 players are flex options  
UConn4523 : 11/12/2018 7:33 am : link
nothing more. Can’t get mad when players like that don’t have big games. Harris has just under 9 points for me, which is exactly what I expected.
I don't like speculating on injuries  
pjcas18 : 11/12/2018 8:47 am : link
but I wouldn't be surprised if Cooper Kupp is done for the year. In fact I'd be more surprised if he wasn't.
Gonna lose both leagues  
dep026 : 11/12/2018 8:50 am : link
Will be 2nd in points in both leagues and sit at 5-5 with little chance of winning anything.

Ertz and fucking Dak .
