EricJ : 11/19/2020 6:49 am
Good morning everyone... I have a difficult decision to make in a half PPR league.

Tonight, the Cardinals travel to Seattle and I have Chase Edmonds who is clearly getting fewer touches than Drake again.

Meanwhile, I have both Mixon and Gio Bernard and it looks like Mixon is going to miss another week. They are playing at Washington. So, I have the starting RB no matter what happens with Mixon's injury.

The decision needs to be made by these evening obviously.
In this one, I would go G.Benard without hesitation  
RC in MD : 11/19/2020 6:51 am : link
While he didn't score a lot against the Steelers, that was a bad day for that entire offense. He's a volume based starting RB against a WFT def that can be had. Of course, this is all based on the assumption that Mixon is out. If he isn't, then C.Edmunds is the way to go.
Yeah I would go Bernard  
LBH15 : 11/19/2020 7:02 am : link
I have a similar issue with Edmonds and Drake on a team and playing the guessing game between them and another guy for flex each week.

Pain in the ass.

Are you certain Mixon is out still?
...  
26.2 : 11/19/2020 7:14 am : link
It looks likely that Mixon is going to sit another week.

My question is would you start Bernard over Duke Johnson? I'm leaning towards yes on that one.
Need a QB  
Eli Wilson : 11/19/2020 7:27 am : link
Already lost Dak and now Brees.

Choices are crap. I need to pick one of:

A Smith
Flacco
Winston
Luton

I'd go Winston, but I don't know if I trust Payton to play him the whole game.

I have Mixon also... so I get the starting RB in Cinci regardless

Probably. Honestly Duke isn't even on my radar...has he done anything since like week 1?

David Johnson is on IR and he's the starter and will get the bulk of the work. It would be a volume pick really. I'm not going to start him over Bernard if Mixon remains out.
Yep

You're in a great position then. Just make sure to check the status if they make it a game time decision.

I've been making a living off of backup RBs in the past few weeks with relying on W.Gallman, D.Dallas (now C.Hyde), G.Bernard, and J.Williams in one league. My starting RBs are J.Robinson and J.Taylor.

In another league, I benched both of my starting RBs (J.Taylor, L.Fournette) this week while W.Gallman is on a Bye. Picked up K.Ballage, D.Harris, S.Ahmed, and C.Hyde (crazy that I was able to pick them all up off of waiver) and will start three of the four.

RBs have been hit hard this season by injuries...ugh.

I had Duke Johnson in my PPR league...he was a huge disappointment but so were M.Davis and C.Edmunds.
This Chris Carson injury also continues  
LBH15 : 11/19/2020 8:02 am : link
to be a question. Word was he looked good to return this week but now a report has surfaced he will sit.

I still have Deejay Dallas in reserve but would like not to play him. Only other choice is Philip Lindsay or search the waiver wire.

D.Dallas has been surpassed by A.Collins; however, C.Hyde is a go this week, so I assume that it'll be C.Hyde as the primary back and A.Collins and T.Homer splitting time as backups. I'm starting C.Hyde in two .5PPR leagues.

Thanks!
Duke Johnson didn’t practice yesterday  
UConn4523 : 11/19/2020 8:16 am : link
And if Carson doesn’t play Hyde likely gets the carries.

You need to wait until the afternoon reports, too early to make a decision now. But if you have Mixon and Bernard it doesn’t really matter anyway.
QB  
pjcas18 : 11/19/2020 8:23 am : link
I'd go Winston and I'd play whichever CIN RB gets the start.
Need two RB  
pjcas18 : 11/19/2020 8:26 am : link
two WR and a flex in PPR out of:

RB:
Jacobs vs KC
Cook vs DAL
Sanders @CLE
Taylor vs GB

WR:
Allen vs NYJ
Claypool @JAX
Fuller vs NE
Moore vs DET
Pittman vs GB
Mims @LAC

Right now I have
Jacobs, Sanders, and Cook (flex)
and Allen and Claypool

just want a sanity check, I guess it comes down to Claypool vs Fuller or Moore
I like Fuller

except last Sunday when he caught 5 passes for 38 yards.

And I had Claypool on my bench with two TDs and DJ Moore on my bench with a TD and almost 100 yards receiving.

Had I started either Claypool or Moore I would have won. Fuller has good games, but he's inconsistent. I hate him.
My WR decisions...  
EricJ : 11/19/2020 8:39 am : link
M Thomas
Godwin
R Woods
Jakobi Meyers

I need THREE and I am actually considering sitting Thomas until he proves he can produce with Winston behind center. He has also been the least productive of this group since he returned from injury.

Probably drop Meyers or maybe Woods. I have Woods and while he is consistent he just doesn't get the high number of targets he should in that offense. Goff is killing me on one of my teams.
Critical question for tonight  
superspynyg : 11/19/2020 10:35 am : link
Non ppr

Lockett has a "slight knee injury" If he is playing should I play him or bench him for either Boyd vs Wash or Woods vs Tampa? Tonight's game vs AZ could be a shoot out and I bet Peterson will cover Metcalf most of the time.
Non ppr - pick 1 for WR2  
pjcas18 : 11/19/2020 10:55 am : link
AJ Brown @BAL
Justin Jefferson vs DAL
Brandin Cooks vs NE
Travis Fulgham @CLE
Cooper Kupp @TB

and then after selecting on of them for WR2

would you start anyone of them not selected at Flex over

RoJo vs LAR

Right now I have Jefferson and RoJo

If Lockett plays I'd play him. Boyd is a good choice otherwise (better in PPR, but still a good backup plan).

Just go Winston. Come on man. You want those other guys in those offenses? Fortune favors the bold. Don't be scared, just play Winston. They'll be plenty of meat on the bone for him even if Taysom Hill has a robust package.

Like last time these two teams matched up back in week 7, Peterson was on Metcalf most of the game, and Metcalf had a 2.30 fantasy points while Lockett only had 200 yards and 3 TDs. So yeah, uh, Lockett's a pretty good play tonight.

I'm always playing A.J. Brown if he's playing. I think he's an automatic start. As for the 2nd question, I'll split the baby here and play Jefferson in PPR formats and RoJo in standard.
I agree  
pjcas18 : 11/19/2020 11:21 am : link
AJ Brown is usually a must start, but I'm starting to consider Jefferson a must start as well. So i'm torn.

My other WR is Hopkins, so I can't sit him.

I can play both Jefferson and Brown if I sit RoJo - which I may do. He was on my bench this past Sunday and I survived his huge day.

Jefferson and Rojo were on my bench Sunday in favor of Brown and Cupp and despite my poor decision making i still won.
I have started using Jefferson every week now  
LBH15 : 11/19/2020 11:27 am : link
because he is simply productive. The couple of weeks that Cook went off his targets went down but he has been very good as a rookie.

I actually think the change to Winston is good for Thomas. Winston loves those big-bodied, boundary receivers. Last year, Godwin was WR2 overall in fantasy, and in 2018, Evans was WR6. While Brees will spread the ball all over the field, Winston we know will force the ball to his #1 a lot, unafraid of taking chances, for better or for worse.

Godwin and Meyers for the other two. For Meyers, it's about the volume he's getting in recent weeks, he's definitely established a rapport with Newton, and this is a fantastic matchup upcoming against Houston. The only way I take some pause here and consider Woods is in the unlikely event Julian Edelman returns for week 11.

The Cowboys have been very leaky to WRs, CB is the weakness of that defense, so there is justification to Jefferson. I like Cook more in this matchup...as game script may be a factor here. Brown doesn't have a good matchup against the Ravens, but as for me I'm unafraid to play him, as he's done some of his best work against top competition, notching big games against Chicago, Pittsburgh and Buffalo so far this year.

Fine to sit RoJo if you have a conviction on Jefferson. You never know when Fournette is going to eat back into RoJo's volume.
I'm going to  
BigBluesman : 11/19/2020 11:47 am : link
play J. Taylor and N. Hines instead of having to play Duke Johnson. Taylor was disappointing last week, but Johnson was a starting RB and was even worse. I'd rather go duel-Colt RBs this week than hold my breath waiting for Duke not to suck. And then if he performs well he's on my roster already.
How about you guys help me with a decision?  
allstarjim : 11/19/2020 11:51 am : link
Pick 2 for standard scoring:

Melvin Gordon vs Dolphins
Darrell Henderson @ Buccaneers
Salvon Ahmed @ Broncos
Nyheim Hines vs Packers
J.K. Dobbins vs Titans

7-3 but still think this is a must-win as the closing sched is difficult. I do have Nuk Hopkins and D.K. Metcalf tonight, so hopefully they both can go off and give me some cushion.

RB1: K.Ballage
RB2: C.Hyde
WR1: D.Adams
WR2: J.Meyers
TE: T.Kelce
FLEX: D.Harris
Def: Vikings
K: R.Bullock

My bench:
J.Taylor vs GB
C.Hyde vs Arz
L.Fournette vs LAR
S.Ahmed @ Den
D.Harris @ Hou
J.Meyers @ Hou
T.Fulgham @ Cle


There are also a few players available in FA as well that are interesting:

FA RB:
M.Brieda @ Den
J.Wilkins vs GB
D.Henderson @ LAR
M.Ingram vs Ten

FA WR:
J.Reynolds @ TB
M.Pittman vs GB
S.Watkins @ LV
KJ.Hamler vs Mia

Ahmed is the hot hand, I'd put him in
then it gets dicey.

It seems like LAR are really going with a RBBC. I don't trust any of them.

Same with IND expect Hines has the pass catching back locked I think but probably would be TD dependent.

So then it's Gordon or Dobbins. I like both as RB3/flexes, but for one game I think I'd rather rely on Gordon.

Of course, but I have literally lost two weeks because I played Fuller over another player. I tried all year to trade him and no interest. I can't cut him, but I don't ever want to play him again if I have a similar option or unless someone convinces me I'm being irrational - lol.
