Fantasy Football Discussion (Week 11)

I'll get it started.

For my FLEX2 spot:

Michael Gallup @ Kansas City
or
Jarvis Landry vs. Detroit

Some caveats:

Pro Gallup:
- Landry has been very pedestrian since returning from injury: 17 catches 139 yards and 0 TDs in 4 games.
- Landry has a forever-dinged up Mayfield under center.
- Landry is dinged himself with a bad knee. Misses every Wednesday practice but ultimately plays.
- Dallas's offense is firing on all cylinders and likely is in a game that will be close and won't turn into the Zeke/Pollard show.

Pro Landry:
- Landry is now Cleveland's primary pass target. Gallup is Dallas's third receiver option.
- KC has found their groove the last three weeks defensively. Only 38 total points against (compared to 78 over the previous three weeks)
- Yahoo has Landry projected significantly higher. 12.28 vs. 7.92. What am I missing? Landry's best effort has been 7.50 points in the 4 games he's been back. Should be closer, IMO.
- I hate rooting for anything Dallas

I think the only reason you're questioning it is you hate Dallas. If you were a fan of, say, the Chargers, and no opinion of Dallas or Cleveland, then you'd pick Gallup easily.

Can't be a homer in fantasy football.

I'm definitely leaning that way, and you're not wrong about the homerism. But actually, the primary seed of doubt has been planted by the Yahoo projection. I know, I know. They're dogshit. But for it to be that big of a discrepancy makes me think I'm missing something.

Seems to have more upside to break a big game.

How about Cam Newton, Kirk Cousins, or Russell Wilson?

I think it’s a gametime decision. If Wilson is named the starter I think he’s your guy. If not, I’d go Wilson. Green Bay looks to be firing on all cylinders defensively, so I’d probably avoid Cousins.
Sorry

If Newton* is named the starter, I’d go Newton.

Is anyone starting Damien Harris (RB NE) vs. ATL tonight? I have him in now to start along side Ekeler. Thing is I also have Barkley at my flex just in case he doesn't play monday night (will switch in Toney at the last minute if he doesn't).

I'd rather bench Harris tonight (my players always are duds on TNF. Its like a curse) and start Barkley as my other RB. On the flip side Harris has been pretty decent for me.

I am starting Harris because I have to.

Had deepest set of running backs in my league with Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, James Robinson, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Harris.

Now Henry is done, Jones got hurt and is out a few weeks, Robinson is hurt but is playing thru it, Patterson is hurt and not sure if will go tonight. And Harris was out last week with a concussion but will start tonight.

So i am penciling in Harris tonight and hope Robinson can play Sunday.

Cannot have enough RBs in fantasy as the season wears on...
I have Aaron Jones and Harris

Badly need Harris to play with Jones out. Looks like he is.
Harris got only 7.5 points going split duty with the rookie  
Jimmy Googs : 11/19/2021 8:36 am : link
Good news though is Folk put up 15 points as my kicker so I made up a little bit there...

Ooof. Woke up to see my opponent started Pats D
