Man do I have some predicaments today and pretty much need to win out.
Jonathan Taylor or JD McKissic?
My worries here are that WFT controls the football game and in that situation JD barely plays, althought Rivera said he wants him to be a part of the offense moving forward. On the flip side of that Taylor has struggled of late and had carries cut back, but I could easily see him getting a couple red zone TDs against this weak run D.
Is DJ Moore playable with no Teddy?
Michael Thomas - super excited for him with Jameis and that got ripped out from under me. What is his production going to look like with Hill?
Have Boyd on my bench, but he's a tough start this week considering the matchup.
Choose one. Being burned by Devante Parker before I don’t want to go to that well even if Denver’s D sucks.

I'd go with Thomas, close but Thomas
Claypool @JAX
DJ Moore vs DET
Will Fuller vs NE
Pittman vs GB
I have Claypool in now, but Fuller is the highest projected. Then Moore, then Claypool.
Also, after you decide WR2 would you start any of them at flex over either
Jacobs vs KC
Sanders @CLE
Cook vs DAL
My lineup right now has those three RB's (two at RB, one at flex), Keenan Allen, Claypool at WR, Mahomes at QB and Andrews at TE.

I think you shouldn’t second guess yourself especially if Bridgewater doesn’t play
T Hill or A Smith
WR
Fulgham, AJ Brown or J Jefferson
Flex
Same as WR, plus A Peterson (no Swift)
Struggling to bench Thomas against this matchup, but would Fulgham be the better play, even with the weather?
Melvin Gordon vs Dolphins
Salvon Ahmed @ Broncos
Flex: A.J. Brown @ Ravens
Bench:
Adrian Peterson @ Panthers (Swift Out)
Darrell Henderson @ Buccaneers
Nyhiem Hines vs Packers
Feels like no matter what I do it's going to be wrong.
I would bench Burkhead. Don't chase last week's fantasy points.

That's how I was leaning,especially with Michel activated!

Yes I am. I'm benching Thomas for AP in my flex, have A.J. Brown and Metcalf in WR slots. But I would bench him for guys like Smith Schuster, Antonio Brown, and Cooper Kupp as well.
He is a TD dependent dart throw, IMO.

I think the Harris-Michel dynamic is interesting. I think Michel doesn't get a lot of work this week, and could see Bill Belichick falling in love with Harris. Only problem is Cam pilfering goal line TDs.

Flex: A.J. Brown @ Ravens
Bench:
Adrian Peterson @ Panthers (Swift Out)
Darrell Henderson @ Buccaneers
Nyhiem Hines vs Packers

I'd figure out a way to get Hines off the bench. Potential for a big one there. I'd probably bench Ahmed.
Damien Harris vs. Houston
Nyheim Hines vs. GB
Both coming off big games, but both offenses are a pain in the ass for RB owners. I am leaning Hines because 1 PPR.

Jim - I have a similar issue with Swift out. I am starting Hines, hoping that he either gets enough touches in normal game or they have to play catch up to the Packers and they throw him a lot of passes in second half to him.

a genius he is? After a very dissappoining season I thought he was poised to be a top 5 guy with Jameis at QB. Now what?

You're benching Michael Thomas for Adrian Peterson in your flex spot? I want to make sure there is no other AP. I know Swift is out, but man that's ballsy. Even with Hill/Winston I'd be hesitant to do that, but it's probably the right call.
I'm like Coughlin, I have a tendency to go down with the ship running my "stars" out there.
Because the way I look at it is if I lose with Thomas in there, I won't second guess myself, if I lose with AP in there it will piss me off for days.
Again though, probably the right call.

I have Thomas and he has not given me anything at all since he came back. Single digits each week. Now, nobody knows if he will even see targets.
At least AP is going to get volume.

I know that's the shitty thing about having a player like Thomas coming off injury and in his situation.
He's 3 weeks back now, and I think the QB change may be better for him. We'll see.
I don't own Thomas in any league.
Thats my thinking. Not benching Thomas unless he lays an egg this week. Really his last chance here, but hard to imagine Payton won't come up with something that won't take advantage of that secondary. Hill can sling the rock and scramble, I expect them to get him on the move. Going to be tough for Falcons with minimal film out there. I think that's some of the logic in this move. Go with Hill untill someone figures it out and then you can put in Jameis. Feel like Payton been drawing shit up all summer for this guy.
Actually on the flip side of that. I think it's a defensive battle. Donald is going to dominate the middle and that's the way you beat Brady. Flip side of that Goff is awful under pressure. Hill may crush fantasy this week, can easily see him having 100 yards rushing. Tannehill is a tough one because I don't think they throw the ball that much.

Yes AP. I agree there's some limited upside there but I think the floor is much higher this week for him in a good matchup against the Panthers than Thomas is with Hill starting.
Marvin Hall? You mean Marvin Jones? I think Marvin Jones would be the easy call here, especially with Golladay out.

Marvin Hall is also on DET, but Hall is a blazing stretch the field guy. 4.2 something 40. Bounced around the league a little until finding a home in DET (it seems).
Stafford is becoming more and more confident in Hall.
Ballage vs NYJ
Duke Johnson vs NE
Marvin Jones vs Carolina
Any help is appreciated
It’s funny how it sneaks up on you. Weather has been relatively mild this football season (other than that Pats game a couple weeks back). I usually check for wind for kickers but I need remind myself it’s basically winter now for half the NFL and I need to check weather more often.

look at that weather in CLE. I don't pay enough attention to weather.

true, definitely more of a factor to pay attention to the rest of the way, especially obviously in the northern non-domes.

Real fantasy guru right here. FUCK. It's not like this was a must-win game or anything? Just watched Cam shit the bed so it's not like I'm going to get anymore out of Harris in overtime. Fuck Cam, fuck fantasy football.
The Panthers defense isn’t bad. Plus it wasn’t hard to imagine Staffiord being ineffective today with that hand and no one to throw to
