UConn4523 : 11/14/2018 7:43 am
My only real tossup this week is at QB.

Brees vs Eagles
Goff vs Chiefs on Monday night

Sitting Brees right now and at home likely isn’t wise. I’m trying not to also buy into the big point spread hype for Monday night, I think it could be a let down. Also the loss of Cupp is a factor.

I’ll likely keep Brees in but we’ll see.
Brees  
dep026 : 11/14/2018 7:48 am : link
Eagles secondary is decimated and I think that will be more high scoring than the Monday night game. One thing scary with Goff is gurley can vulture a lot of TDs.
My calls...  
dep026 : 11/14/2018 7:50 am : link
Ben at Jacksonville
Wentz at NO

I have wentz in even though Jax isn’t particularly any good.

And would you start cooper over any of these 4?

Hopkins
Evans
Jeffrey
Cooks
Wentz and no

This is the right answer.

pjcas18 : 11/14/2018 8:53 am : link
which TE would you pick up for this week. Wound up I have two TE's on bye with Kittle and Njoku.

So I need to pick one up for the week, options are:

1. RSJ vs OAK
2. Vance MacDonald @JAX
3. Kyle Rudolph @CHI
4. Nick Vannett vs GB
5. Uzomah @BAL
6. Everett vs KC

Any thoughts?

I was able to pick up Penny, Trubisky, and Washington  
robbieballs2003 : 11/14/2018 8:54 am : link
Should I trade Carson and Penny for Sanders? I like Sanders' playoff schedule. I need a WR.

We start 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 1 RB/WR/TE. It is a 12 team PPR league.

Luck
Gordon
Hunt
Fournette
Boyd
Baldwin
Landry
Njoku
K
Baltimore

Trubisky
Carson
Penny
Kirk
Engram
Washington

Hooper is also available but not sure of which TE to drop for him as Njoku has not been good since they fired Hue and Haley. Is giving up Carson and Penny too much for Sanders?

Ill rank my top 3...

McDonald - him and Ben seem to be on the same page.
Rudolph - Always solid
Everett - No Cupp may mean more targets.

Rudolph has 11 catches for 120 yards in his last 4 games, and wasn't much better before that.

I'd probably say
McDonald
Everett
Uzomah

Jax and Baltimore give up decent production to TEs. Everett could be boom or bust, but in a game that has a 63 O/U definitely has some upside over the other 2.

FYI, it's Kupp not Cupp
Which Def to start?  
superspynyg : 11/14/2018 9:07 am : link
Carolina vs Det
Or
Chargers vs Denver?

Pick a WR3...

Larry Fitzgerald vs. OAK
Courtland Sutton @ LAC
Josh Reynolds vs. KC

I have DJ Moore too but I'm not starting him over any of these 3.

Also, I have to start one of the SEA RB's tomorrow due to bye weeks. I have Carson and Davis. I'm going with Carson for now, but I'm a little worried about him getting banged up and leaving the game early again. Is Davis any safer? Seems like a crapshoot - especially with Penny coming to life against LAR.

dep026 : 11/14/2018 9:30 am : link
and wait on Carson.

arcarsenal : 11/14/2018 9:43 am : link
I'm not sure if there's really anything to wait for - Carroll said Carson is playing. But if he wasn't healthy enough to go 3 days ago and didn't make it through the game before that, I'm a little worried about him starting the game but not finishing it again. I guess I'll see what the word is tomorrow.

I am really struggling with this  
Giants in 07 : 11/14/2018 11:24 am : link
I'm 8-2, clinched 1 seed

Got offered Julio for McCaffrey.

My RB's are Barkley, McCaf, Chubb and Richard.
My WR's are Evans, Sanders and DJax.
MY TE's are Ertz and Kelce, so no need for RB/WR flex.

McCaffrey is just so involved in that offense, but Julio would be a big upgrade for my WRs. Sanders is a #1 receiver in that offense technically though..

You start 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX or just 2 WR?

Yeah, should have mentioned that. It's 2 RB/2 WR/1 TE/1 FLEX.

I've started to pick up defenses for playoff matchups which is why my bench is sort of thin.

Carson isn’t a gamble if he plays  
UConn4523 : 11/14/2018 11:54 am : link
IMO. He’s in an infinitely better scenario than Davis.

In that case then I'd say don't make the trade. There's not much of an upgrade going from CMC/Sanders to Chubb/Julio in your starting lineup. I'd much rather have Chubb on my bench ready to plug in for an injury to Barkley/CMC.

As aside with your bye worries past, I'd dump Richard and pickup Gallman. You aren't ever playing Richard at this point, and Gallman will be more productive than Richard in case Barkley gets injured.

I wouldn't do it in standard or PPR. I think it makes your team worse. You're 8-2 in first place for a reason. Don't screw it up now.
Does anyone think it's worth

holding on to BUF D through the bye?

My D this week is HOU b/c they're on my roster.

I also still have BUF who I used last week.

And after their bye they have JAX, @MIA, NYJ, DET

Worth keeping BUF for that schedule?

HOU has:

@WAS this week while BUF is on a bye and then TEN, CLE, @IND, NYJ

I would. Houston probably won’t give you a great score this week but should be serviceable, and Buffalo’s upcoming schedules is amazing. Avoiding total busts at the position (which is a frustrating one to navigate) will be key down the stretch and in the playoffs. I’m rostering three defenses right now (Carolina for this week + Tennessee and Jacksonville for the rest of the year) because I think looking ahead at favorable DST matchups is more critical than rostering a fifth WR or RB (outside of an obvious handcuff like Malcolm Brown).

What other defenses are available for this week? You’ll be playing Buffalo after this week (until week 16 if you get there when they’re @ NE) so if there’s a better stream this week I’d think about going with them over Houston, and then targeting a strong week 16 matchup on waiver next Tuesday to pair with Buffalo.
RB2 advice, please

Well, Davis is in the same scenario if Carson gets hurt - a couple weeks ago I started Carson and he left the game in the first half @ like 40 rush yards. I got 4 points out of him and Davis turned in an 18+ point day on my bench.

Penny's performance muddies the situation even more.

But any SEA RB getting work has a ton of value right now because of how run-heavy they've become. That line can pave and push. They just can't pass protect.

I do think if Carson is healthy, Carroll is going to keep going to him - he's played well when he's gotten the work. I'm just nervous about another game where he starts but doesn't finish. I don't have much choice, though. Chubb is on a bye and there aren't really any other viable options.

I did scoop Josh Adams and think he might be the guy who starts to eventually separate from that mediocre PHI backfield, but I don't think I can rely on him yet.

I actually traded Julio for CMC earlier this season in the BBI league. When I made the deal, I didn't forsee CMC getting all these TDs. I had 5 WRs (thanks in part to a partial autodraft) and no RBs, so it made total sense. At this point, I'd much rather have CMC than Julio.
How about Ebron vs. OJ Howard for this weekend?
