jgambrosio : 12/9/2018 7:52 am
Last week's game against Jax and seeing how poorly Jax played has me over thinking playing Lamar jacskon against a soft KC D over Luck playing against a hot Texans team who is out for revenge after he tore them up at home. Am I being stupid?

Also for flex, boom or bust with trequan Smith against a soft Tampa defense (also have kamara) or golladay in a tough matchup against Peterson with a shitty QB?
I don't blame you

Luck had a terrible game last week.  
bradshaw44 : 12/9/2018 8:33 am : link
I don’t think that happens two weeks In a row. I would be excited to have him playing this week.

If KC jumps up on Bal early Jackson is going to be passing a lot which isn’t good for Bal.

That would probably be great for Jackson owners. He'll just take off and run more when nobody is open.
I have two tough choices that I need help with  
EricJ : 12/9/2018 9:14 am : link
in a standard league.

Need TWO of these..
Spencer Ware vs Balt - tough defense but ware gets the load
Sony Michel @ Miami - nice matchup but they have 4 RBs
Ingram @ Tampa - Mark was a dud the past two weeks
Jaylen Samuels @ Oak - He gets his first start vs a bad team

I also need TWO of these...
Tyler Boyd @ Chargers - No AJ Green and he has a shitty QB
Ridley @ Green Bay
Flex advice help please  
davek3698 : 12/9/2018 9:18 am : link

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms T.Y. Hilton (questionable, shoulder) will play Week 14 against the Texans.

I'd go Michel and Samuels. Your second grouping only has two. But I'd go Boyd if it's just 1.

pjcas18 : 12/9/2018 10:25 am : link
Coutee out. I am holding a roster spot for McKinnon (keeper league).

I need to pick up a WR.

Jordy Nelson (OAK)
Dante Pettis (SF)
or
Zay Jones (BUF)
Curtis Samuel (CAR)
Antonio Callaway (CLE)

Not starting them (as of now), but if I win this week and Beckham misses next week I could need them.

dropping Coutee, love him for next year, but at this point I don't have the space for him.
Any of you guys do daily fantasy

Just started doing it and Samuels (on Pitt) is only $3,700. Has the market just not adjusted to him starting or am I missing something?

Samuels and Justin Jackson good bargains this week.

Takes a while for the market to catch up when players begin to get more reps and have success.

Sterling Shepard another good play this week. I think they set the values and don't adjust them for injuries.

Ware was a good buy last week (in theory).

It takes those sites a couple of weeks to adjust. They cannot change the value of Samuels now as they already opened up the games to the fans. Therd is no changing once the prices are out for that week. The price could change n3xt week but doubt it'll change much with Conner possibly coming back.

Ya, my roster this week is:

Watson
Saquon
Samuels
Hopkins
Cooper
Humphries
Herndon
Ertz
Giants D.

Without obj I think saquon has a huge game both running and receiving. If the D Cant force any turnovers vs Sanchez....

That would probably be great for Jackson owners. He'll just take off and run more when nobody is open.


Not if they fall too far behind. If he’s throwing a lot he could throw a lot of picks.

Sounds like Flacco will be stealing snaps.
Shepard @ Washington...  
BamaBlue : 12/9/2018 11:25 am : link

I'd go Gordon

Saints Defense...

would ordinarily be a better pick (vs. Tampa). The Giants defense is unpredictable, but with the Redskins QB crapshow and injuries on the OL, the Giants seem like a better option.
Need three  
pjcas18 : 12/9/2018 12:25 pm : link
of these 4 for RB and flex (PPR)

Mixon @LAC
Chubb vs CAR
D. Cook @SEA
Jeff Wilson vs DEN

I have the first three in but I'm debating Wilson over Cook.

Cook looked great vs NE practically every time he touched the ball, but Wilson was a focal point of the offense once Breida went out. Just DEN D vs SEA D, and I'm leaning leaving Cook in.

I am leaning to remove Cook vs Seattle since it is on the road
ok final decision here in a standard league...  
EricJ : 12/9/2018 12:32 pm : link
I decided to start Samuels

So, I need to sit Ingram at Tampa or Michel at Miami

really tough because Ingram has not been good but Michel is splitting so many carries and some asshole poached 2 TDs at the goal line last week
.  
arcarsenal : 12/9/2018 12:33 pm : link
Alright, so I can't wait on Doug Baldwin as a GTD on MNF.

I can go with an option on my own team...

Josh Reynolds @ CHI
Tre'Quan Smith @ TB

(I don't like either of these options... )

or I could take a flier on a guy who is a FA...

Chris Conley vs BAL
DaeSean Hamilton @ SF
Zay Jones vs NYJ

Also.. I swapped out Luck for Winston. I feel like I should just go with Luck, though. Any opinions?

I still go with Michel. Develin has 3 TD's in 3 weeks, but I think that's circumstantial and not a fad.

I'd go with Smith or maybe Zay Jones.

Also I think I'd go Luck, he torched HOU last time. 464 yards and 4 passing TD's. HOU is playing better now, but Winston is just too unpredictable for me, he could be benched any game.

Which QB  
pjcas18 : 12/9/2018 12:44 pm : link
Ben @OAK
Brees @TB
Rivers vs CIN

Have Ben right now, but Ben on the road is not the same but he put up big numbers at TB, CIN, and even DEN

Brees outside the dome isn't quite as good and Rivers to me has the best matchup, and is at home, but his weapons are less.

Decided on Zay - he's had 2 really good games in his last 3. Too nervous about another egg for TreQuan.

Agree on Luck - if the TB/NO game was in the dome I think I'd have gone w Winston but I gotta go with Luck. Especially after a 0 TD game for him last week - basic odds say he's got to throw ~2 today. Hopefully 3-4...

I actually like Rivers in that group. Brees in the wind and Ben on the road are both a little spooky. Keenan Allen was unstoppable last week. I don't expect the Bengals to be able to do much with the football today so LAC should have good FP and put up a healthy amount of points today.

Ben would be a close second though.

I'm going to call this day  
pjcas18 : 12/9/2018 5:29 pm : link
black Sunday.

It really started earlier this week losing Gordon in both my playoff matchups, then losing Beckham, then losing Jordan Reed in two leagues, and relying on Brees/M. Thomas.

It wasn't close. the team I played in one league hit on every single player & they still have Trubisky and Gurley. Julio Jones, TY Hilton, Mark Ingram, Gurley, Austin Ekelar, Gronk....I was favored to win by 10, I'll lose by 60.
Giants D helped me out in one league  
PetesHereNow : 12/9/2018 5:36 pm : link
Down 10 in that one. Opponent has Detroit defense left. I have Rivers, Cooks (LAR), and Diggs (MIN).

Other league, it was supposed to be an even matchup, but I lost my waiver claim with the Giants defense, and ended up having to start the Seahawks defense. And my opponent has George Freaking Kittle! Down by 40 in that one.
I have Kittle...  
EricJ : 12/9/2018 5:36 pm : link
that's all I have to say
I have Kittle  
pjcas18 : 12/9/2018 5:43 pm : link
but my team with Kittle is on a bye.

That team would have set records this week.

Barkley, McCaffrey, Hilton, Luck, Kittle, etc....
Kittle and Barkley  
kelsto811 : 12/9/2018 5:52 pm : link
