NFT: Sunday Sept 24 Fantasy Football

Hall to rebound after a dud last week. He'd be my first choice.

He’s been hot lately. Even with a different QB today, in this offense, he’s going to get targets.

I have a bit of a conundrum myself regarding my superflex position this weekend. Joe Burrow has aggravated his calf injury, so there’s no guarantee he will play on Monday. I have his backup, Browning, on my bench. Would you wait until Monday, and take a chance that Burrow plays? Or, would you pick up a QB off waivers like Dalton or Minshew, and go with them? I’m torn. Burrow hasn’t exactly been playing too well regardless, so benching him temporarily may be wise. Neither Dalton or Minshew have a great matchup, although, I have read that Minshew did play fairly well last week. Right now I am sticking with Burrow. What do you think?

Also, I have a few decent non-QBs I can start at superflex in my non-ppr league. They are:

Z. Moss @ Ravens
C. Watson v. Saints
Gainwell @ Bucs
Kirk v. Texans
J. Warren @ Raiders

Anyone of these guys can out produce my QB options this week.

Any feedback is appreciated. Best of luck to everyone.

I would rather go with Minshew

Thank you. I’m leaning towards Minshew too.

Ah, okay, I’d bench Johnson.

Thanks PJ

in FF and I drafted a D and I did it late but not that late (maybe 12 round). but I drafted the Eagles D. I figured no streaming for me, that D should be match up proof the way people on here were talking about them.

They have been pretty mid so far.

This week for some reason all the sites say they do not have a good match up with TB.

JAX is available and they have a good match up vs HOU.

would you start JAX D over PHI D? Or just ride it out?

I hate D's and K's. So if I sit PHI and they have a bunch of sacks or pick 6's I'll be pissed but if I play them and they give up 28 points with no sacks I'll be more pissed.

was that intentional? Lol

Friermuth, LaPorta or Dalton. And not just today but moving forward. Leaving LaPorta.

It is early in the season. Is your matchup this weekend that close? Also, the bigger question is who would you have to drop to pickup the Jax defense?

I would drop Jalin Hyatt who I was hoping would be a late round keeper. but I can get him back and he'd keep his draft status.

I am projected to win by 10 points, but to me anything 10 points or less is basically a pick 'em.

I would appreciate your feedback about my Burrow conundrum. Do you agree with DefenseWins, my best move would be to pick up Minshew and start him as my Superflex?

Thanks

And, Houston will likely be playing catch-up, so more opportunities for sacks and turnovers. If you can pick them up, I say go for it.

I'd pick up JAX D if you have a slot expendable. Keep the Philly D for sure.

Jax, has a somewhat soft schedule for the rest of the season, so one might be able to sit on those two defenses all season long.

I'm not him, but I would pick up the Cinci backup and play whoever starts at game time. If Burrow gets injured again for whatever reason, you have his backup to plug and play. CInci has studs at WR which also helps.

Hey MP, sorry, I skipped right past it.

tough one, can't wait on MNF games. I sat Cooper last week because he was unlikely to play and then he puts up 16 pts (in ppr). But can't risk it.

I think Minshew is probably a good bet if you don't want to really roll the dice and pick up Jake Browning and if Burrow is ruled out you play Browning. That CIN offense has some great options and a good matchup, but Browning is a 27 year old journeyman probably for a reason.

I think Minshew or Dalton (I view them similarly) is the safe play, maybe Browning/Burrow the gutsy one.

And FWIW both Minshew (#46) and Dalton (#73) are higher in Superflex rankings than your other options: Moss (#76), Kirk (#91), Warren (#106), Gainwell (#164), Watson (#173) per Fantasypros

Moss is the closest, but otherwise they agree. Minshew is the play by a wide margin.

Thank you, Kev. Like minds. I did pick up Burrow’s back up earlier this week. I was thinking the same as you. Depending on who gets the start, they will have great options to throw to.

RB's are on the wire in my league.

Kendre Miller and Tony Jones Jr.

I believe Kamara is back next week, but does anyone see long-term value in Miller? or do you think once Kamara and Jamaal Williams are both back touches will be scarce outside of those two (Kamara and Williams)?

No worries, pj. Thank you. Yeah, it does feel like a toss up. Fortunately, this week, I’m already ahead of my opponent and projected to win by 20. But, nothing is for certain, ever. I need this win, so I think it would be wise to do the safe play and pick up Minshew.

Thanks for the details about flex rankings.

Best of luck to you.

If you have the available space, taking a shot on Miller seems like a good idea. The prognosticators online have been talking him up all summer. He may finally get to show his stuff with Williams out. May still have a decent role when Kamara is back.

looks like I get one more crack at Dillon

.5PPR

Need RB2 and FLEX:

N.Harris @ LV
Z.Moss @ Bal
J.Ford vs Ten
AJ.Dillon vs NO

RB1 is R.Stevenson @ NYJ

I'm currently thinking:
RB2: Z.Moss
Flex: AJ.Dillon (another shot after a mediocre performance last week)


Also, who would you go with for WR1/2?

D.London @ Det
D.Hopkins @ Cle
R.Doubs vs NO
D.Mooney @ KC

Currently thinking:
D.London
D.Hopkins

Watson out...

I agree with your instincts on both. Doubs is interesting with no Watson, but it seems like Reed is the guy there without Watson. I still like Doubs a little. Tough one, but I'd go with your gut

would you risk starting him? Apparently will be active but how much work will he get. Especially if they are beating the Bears soundly in the second half.

if they are up big my guess is the pull him and let CEH kill clock

That is what I am thinking. I am going with Gus Edwards and Breece Hall as my two RB starters

Hopkins or Doubs is a tough one for sure. I think it's pretty much a crap shoot 50/50 on who is going to get close to 10 points. I think I'll go with Hopkins with a hope that he gets a cheap TD against that Browns secondary.

Dillon or M. Thomas

for my flex? .5 ppr league. Thanks.

Toss a coin. probably Herbert.

change my mind!

Dell has more upside. Seems like Herbert is hanging on to a timeshare and they want to use Johnson. When that happens who knows.

that said, Fantasypros it's 98% Herbert over Dell. Not that fantasypros is end all be all, they're not, just providing an aggregate data point.

Herbert is #75 flex (RB32) in their rankings and Dell is #85 (WR46) so not as far apart as it may seem.

I’m going to switch and regret it

go with my gut and don't 2nd guess it.

I do like other people's perspectives but I almost never change my mind. Unless someone chimes in with stuff like "Sauce Gardner will be man on player x" - actual x and o's stuff that could impact targets, carries, etc that I had not known or was not considering.

…

dude is just garbage. I have J.Ford on my bench with 20 points while Dillon can't do shit...ugh.

Same. I played Dillon because Ekeler was out, and I didn't have a player like Ford on my bench, but Dillon is droppable at this point. In a game with no Aaron Jones that you figured would be low scoring and he'd be fed the ball, but it definitely seems like he's an after thought.
