If you've made it through the quarterfinal round, congrats.
After getting knocked out by the final Ertz TD in one league, I'm still in four other leagues. I had a bye in three of them, so this will be my first game in those leagues. I barely squeaked by in my own league in our first round (two weeks long).
So I have several dilemma for my league. It's a .5PPR and the Championship runs two weeks long.
Who should I start at QB?
I have:
A.Rodgers vs. CHI
B.Mayfield @ ARI
E.Manning (or D.Jones) vs. MIA
I can pick up:
M.Trubisky @ GB
K.Cousins @ LAC
Rodgers is the one everyone and their brothers are saying to go with, but he's so inconsistent, especially putting up only 13 against the Skins. And that Bears defense is still not the best matchup. Mayfield has the best matchup against the Cardinals, but he's been inconsistent as well. Then we have Manning/Jones against the Dolphins.
I also have a dilemma on my other positions, mainly because whoever I pick to start does terribly.
What I have:
RBs
D.Cook @ LAC
L.Fournette @ OAK
S.Barkley vs. MIA
P.Laird @ NYG
A.Mattison @ LAC
WRs
D.Hopkins @ TEN
C.Kupp @ DAL
R.Woods @ DAL
A.Thielen @ LAC
TE
G.Kittle vs. ATL
H.Henry vs. MIN
My current lineup:
RB1 - Cook
RB2 - Fournette
WR1 - Hopkins
WR2 - Kupp
TE - Kittle
FLEX - Barkley
I've started Kupp the last two weeks, and he's done less than Woods. Will third times be the charm for him? And Barkley has been underwhelming to say the least, but going against the Dolphins may solve that problem.
I did bc I need Kupp to get less than 15 (thankfully he did) - Kupp doesnt see the field in 2 WR sets.
Woods runs the routes Goff loves most, all the drags on PA, quick outs, and hooks. I would definitely go Woods - Especially bc your team looks stacked, I think you need a floor and Woods will get a guaranteed 7 touches/targets. With Cooks back and Gurley healthy, cant say the same for Kupp.
Dont get cute with your QBs, you have a health Rodgers with Jones and Devante - He will get you 17+ which is what you need with that roster. Baker or the NYG dont guarantee that, they can go boom but youre playing to not bust.

Thanks.
I saw that as well on Kupp being pulled on 2-WR sets. I thought that was strange. And he salvaged his day with that TD. But watch me put Woods in and he goes less than 10 points and Kupp go for two TDs...lol.
And I'm just so down on Rodgers these days because how inconsistent he has been for much of the season. But you are right about the bust potentials of the other QBs.
It doesn't help that my opponent has L.Jackson, D.Henry, N.Chubb, M.Gordon, J.Jones, and J.Edelman. He's put up the most points all season (I was a close second).
No one would fault you if you toggled some of those sitem/startems but for me, I love volume over everything.
Also who would you play out of these 3:PPR
A. Jones
M. Gordon
M. Sanders
D. Washington.

I would only go Washington over Sanders if Jacobs is out. Otherwise, I would go with your top 3. And Manning may not be a bad play against Miami.
QB Lamar Jackson
WR Julio Jones
WR DK Metcalf
WR Mike Williams
RB Derrick Henry
RB Le'Veon Bell
TE George Kittle
W/R/T Josh Jacobs
W/R/T Kareem Hunt
K Joey Slye
DEF Baltimore
I have the Garopps on the bench in case Jackson was out but he looks good. The only switch I'm considering is Mike Williams for Zach Pascal. That was Will Fuller's spot but I don't think it wise to trust him to even play at this point.
