Need to make a decision here today since Dallas plays tonight.

My opponent has Zeke. Obviously if it is announced that Zeke is out, I am rolling with Pollard. However, if Zeke is active for the game, who would you go with in the flex?

I have the following options for my flex in a half point PPR..

Pollard @ NO
Devonta Freeman @ Pitt
Kendrick Bourne @ Buffalo
NO

is supposed to be good against the run, so while I normally think Pollard is a decent start regardless of Zeke, not sure he's a great option tonight.

this is a tough call though, these options are all pretty close.

I'd probably go Freeman, but could be convinced to go with Pollard.


Who would you start  
pjcas18 : 12/2/2021 8:44 am : link
(PPR)

Kamara tonight vs DAL or
Josh Jacobs vs WAS
I would definitely go Piollard

Despite NO's defensive matchup.

The offense with Dallas is very effective, and Pollard can hurt a team in a number of ways.

For you need to ask yourself which flex player is more likely to score me as close to 10 points (if they go over its bonus)?

That to me is Pollard if Zeke is out. Even if NO is good against the run he can easily have 30 rush 20+ rec and a td. Dallas loves to handoff or throw to a Rb or TE at the goal line. IF Zeke is in I might pivot to Bourne

PJ:
If Kamara is active you play him. He is your top pick and your top pick should not be a matchup guy. Having said that in the past Hill has shown NOT to check down to Kamara. He just runs with the ball himself. So take that into account.
For me and  
pjcas18 : 12/2/2021 9:45 am : link
Kamara i wouldn't sit him b/c of the matchup.

I'd sit him because he missed the past three weeks with injury, Mark Ingram is completely healthy and I have a decent fallback option with Josh Jacobs.

I obviously like Kamara more than Jacobs, but given the circumstances Jacobs might be a better start. I'm still deciding.

but it has almost nothing to do with Dallas.

This one's a lot closer and a lot tougher. On one hand, Dallas has been pretty good against the run but notably good against the pass to RBs. That's where Kamara does a lot of damage

That said, WFT has been even better in both areas. This comes down to who I feel has the best chance to punch a TD in, and I just have trouble trusting the Saints offense, and then you have a goal line TD vulture like Taysom Hill...I'd have to go Jacobs here.
Still debating

Over needing 3 of these 4.

Mitchell v Seattle
Ekeler V Cincinnati
Henderson v Jacksonville
Gibson vs Raiders


Allstarjim says sit Henderson but with Stamford playing like crap… Henderson can get a lot of mileage Sunday.

Henderson is not a definite to play
who cares if Zeke is active or not  
djm : 12/2/2021 10:13 am : link
go with Pollard no matter what.
Looks like Kamara is out

Alvin Kamara (knee) won't play in Week 13 against the Cowboys.
Starting RT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) and LT Terron Armstead (knee) were also ruled out. Extremely short-handed against a Cowboys team fully healthy for the first time since Week 1, the Saints are fighting an uphill battle in Taysom Hill's first start. Mark Ingram will handle every opportunity, as he did in two previous starts for Kamara, as a touch-based RB2 on Thursday.

Did you read the whole thing?
It clearly says if Zeke is IN I might pivots to Bourne

Kamara, always. I take it he was close last week but just wasn't there. They seem to be careful with him so if he's playing he will be catching lots of passes.
haha, well nevermind  
UConn4523 : 12/2/2021 10:53 am : link
Kamara ruled out tonight.
Hmm  
Straw Hat : 12/2/2021 11:03 am : link
Ingram or melvin gordon? half ppr

Normally id go ingram based on opportunity, but both saint tackles being out scare me. What do you guys think?

Check those Jax defensive numbers against RBs. Especially in recemt weeks. They are not just good right now, but dominant against the run. And Gibson is hot right now.

I missed that... thank you!
So it looks like Zeke is playing..  
EricJ : 12/2/2021 7:04 pm : link
still deciding who to play here... Pollard, Bourne or Freeman
Kinda like Pollard  
UConn4523 : 12/2/2021 7:15 pm : link
especially if a blow out is predicted, which it’s looking like it will be with the NO inactives.

I am leaning that way too. Plus Zeke could tweak his knee again.

Is Jerry Jones the coach tonight?
