Fantasy advice in the ST league to help me beat my opponent this week k thanks

[Blake]

Which 3 WRs to start out of these four:

A. Robinson
B. Edelman
C. Kirk
D. Moncrief

[Millennial_Messiah]

1) Pittsburgh's defense sucks and Brady is Brady at home, so Edelman.
2) Green Bay's defense isn't particularly good, so Allen Robinson.

The other 2 are a crapshoot. I wouldn't bet against Bill Belichick on defense, but since it might be a high scoring game I'd probably take Moncrief over the unknown that is Kyler Murray's arm on a bad team that has a decent amount of mouths to feed already. Pittsburgh has JJSS and who else?

[Blake]

Yeah Kirk is the unknown that could either go off for a buck fifty if that offense does what it did in college or he could get 3 catches on 12 targets if Murray gets chased around with that horrible O Line.

[spurraider21]

bench kirk

[DeadlyDynasty]

Jimmy Graham at da Bears or Rudolph vs Falcons?

[Blake]

Jimmy Graham at da Bears or Rudolph vs Falcons?

Hmm 2.7 points or 2.8 points

You kinda know what you'll get with Rudolph. Biggest potential surprise pay off would be Jimmy, imo

[Blake]

bench kirk

I think I'm gonna go with Kirk after all. I'm hoping for sheer volume from the cards

[SpursforSix]

Jimmy Graham at da Bears or Rudolph vs Falcons?

I might go Rudolph here with the Diggs hammy.

[Blake]

Not saying I called it really..... Just saying "surprise!"

Man...no shit...I’m already getting crushed in 3 leagues. In one of those, my opponent doesn’t even have players tonight.

I look at my roster and think, "what da fuck".

At least you're making trades. I'm probably gonna sit here fore a few weeks hoping for my players to come through.

I guess I have my nuclear option of trading Kamara.

Alright negroes, here's muh team (FA/WW pick-ups in red, trades in blue):

Week 1

QB - Russell Wilson
RB1 - David Johnson
RB2 - Leonard Fournette
WR1 - Tyreek Hill
WR2 - Tyler Lockett
TE - Kyle Rudolph
Flex - Mark Ingram
IDP - Bobby Wagner
D/ST - Rams
K - Stephen Gostkowski
--------------
BE - Jimmy Graham
BE - Philip Rivers
BE - DeVante Parker
BE - Peyton Barber
BE - Dante Pettis

Who to start at the Flex? I have Ingram right now, but I think Parker has huge upside because of September Fitz (and Stills being traded).

I’d probably go Parker because I’m still worried about the Pettis injury on top of how average he’s looked.
But this is the kind of decision I make and in hindsight realize I should have stuck with Ingram. It really shouldn’t even be a tough decision.

goddamnit

[spurraider21]

after pulling my AB trade...

12 team, 0.5 ppr league. typical QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, FLEX lineup

QB - Tom Brady, Kyler Murray
WR - Antonio Brown, Brandin Cooks, Josh Gordon, Marquise Goodwin
RB - David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Marlon Mack, LeSean McCoy, Chris Thompson
TE - Travis Kelce
DEF -Baltimore

[SpursforSix]

I chose Parker and I'm blaming you if Ingram outperforms him

Lol. Don’t blame that on me. I pretty much told you I’d be wrong and Ingram was the easy decision.

[spurraider21]

:lmao why would Ingram even be on your radar as somebody to bench. he's a clear RB2 this year and in most drafts was taken in the 3rd/4th rounds

mark ingram or devante parker isn't even a choice tbh, thats all on you DD :lol

[spurraider21]

bench kirk

Right. I made the right guess between the two mediocre receivers here.

Luckily I can send both to the bench with the emergence of John Brown.

Yup. I figured he would get the targets.

tryin to figure out what to do with my WR/RB situation. as of now, i have to bench one of gordon/cooks/mack every week. once we start hitting bye week scenarios, that depth could come in handy. but in the meantime feels like wasted value.

plus having both AB and Gordon feels unnecessary. considering packaging gordon with mack for a true RB1. that colts OL looks amazing, but he got no work in the passing game and got half of his fantasy points on one play

I have Gordon too and he's very benchable now. He will get flex points but I have Sammy Watkins too, and some backup RBs that will all be more reliable than Gordon usually is. I'll just miss out on the one game he gets 2TDs

[Blake]

but you don't get fantasy points for targets

Excellent derp take

[spurraider21]

im being offered Julio Jones and John Brown for Marlon Mack and Josh Gordon

my current receivers/running backs:

WR: Antonio Brown, Brandin Cooks, Josh Gordon, Terry McLaurin
RB: David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Marlon Mack, LeSean McCoy, Chris Thompson

my current flex play is typically going to be marlon back, with me having to bench josh gordon or brandin cooks, which does feel like a waste


if i make the trade, it becomes

Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Brandin Cooks, Josh Brown, Terry McLaurin
David Johnson, Mark Ingram, LeSean McCoy, Chris Thompson

my 2 WR/2 RB and flex becomes a lot more simplified with Cooks as the weekly flex, and my best bench player becomes john brown, who i dont feel as bad about benching

[Blake]

Seems like you're getting a steal imo. I think John Brown is legit.

[spurraider21]

Seems like you're getting a steal imo. I think John Brown is legit.
yup, feel the same way

but crofl, after discussing and agreeing in principle over text, dude sends me the trade offer with TY Hilton instead of Julio :lol... i told him to go fuck himself for wasting my time

[Millennial_Messiah]

John Brown is legit, but I don't believe in Josh Allen or that offensive line for that matter to allow for Brown to catch many deep balls. Most teams aren't as shitty at pass rush or corner as the Jets.

He's not in a Desean Jackson like perfect situation where he's flanking the perfect WR1, TE1 with arguably the most accurate deep ball throwing QB in the league and arguably the best pass protecting line in the league. I'm happy I got Djax

[Blake]

What to do with OJ Howard...

[spurraider21]

0.5 ppr, pick 2 of 3

Antonio Brown (lolphins)
Josh Gordon (lolphins)
Brandin Cooks (saints)

[J.T.]

I would go with Gordon and Cooks. AB is AB but real tough to see him having a huge day with only a week of practicing that playbook under his belt. Goff at home plays much better than on the road so Cooks should have more value this week too. It's the safer play, AB could still fuck around and have a good game but it's not like you are starting bums over AB here.

I actually think all the people shitting on Gordon's value since the AB signing are fucking idiots and Gordon is gonna be just fine in fantasy getting single coverage all the time.

100% the guy saw he was about to stack 2 Colts players and wanted off that spot. Still a bitch move what he did but it's fantasy player psychology 101. The hive mind has told everyone to tank Colts player values since Brissett isn't Luck, and he is following suit.

He;s going to get the oportunities dorsett got in week one, and he's better than dorsett in every way

[spurraider21]

Tbh Dorsett might be the faster straight line runner at this point. I love Gordon but he hasn’t shown that elite speed since his return last year

[Trainwreck2100]

Also my team

.5 ppr 12 man 1 qb 2 wrs 2rbs 1 te 1 flex /k/def

QBs Wilson, Carr(Waiver)
RBs Bell, Michel, Sigletary, Miles Sanders, Carlos Hyde
WR's Julio, Watkins, Golladay, Tyrell Williams, Hollywood(waiver)
TE Kittle
Def Min
K Butker



So I'm flexing tyrell williams because the last two years Carr has feasted on the Chiefs in Oak, and that chiefs secondary is trash, hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ass.

[J.T.]

Well hell...JT sighting. How you handling the Luck news breh?

Breh it is what is is. We didn't protect the guy and made him get smashed behind terrible OL's for 5 seasons so we kinda deserve it. The timing of it was just really shitty. I'm not all in on Brissett but there are definitely worse starting QBs in the league. I just don't have a lot of expectations right now. I was very impressed by how they played in Week 1, the team played great and Vinatieri choked.

Huh? I'm not sure I buy that, Castonzo has been there since he was a rookie and he's been consistently among the upper echelon tackles in the NFL.

Luck averaged over 30 sacks a season before they drafted Nelson last year and he only took 18. Two seasons of over 40 sacks. They didn't draft Ryan Kelly until 2016, coincidentally the same year Ryan Grigson got fired for his team giving up 41 sacks and getting Luck injured. Castanzo is good but let's not act like Andrew Luck wasn't thrown to the wolves behind bums like Samson Satele and Mike McGlynn the first half of his career just because one out of five guys grades out as decent. Look, I don't know you. Maybe you spit good takes on this forum. But this wasn't one of them.

Two-part question...

1) Jimmy Graham or Kyle Rudolph?

2) Do you know where I can get any codones?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Marlon Mack ran 17 routes against the LAC. Dont let the stat sheet fool you. Reich has said he wants to get him involved in the passing game. Hes going to be a solid RB1 all year even in PPR formats.

QB- Watson
RB- Chubb
RB- D Freeman
WR- Adams
WR- Bradin Cooks
TE- TJ Hockenson
Defense- Vikings
K- Tucker

Bench
RB- J Jackson
RB- Rashaad Penny
RB- Royce Freeman
WR- Christian Kirk
WR- Michael Gallup
TE- Jared Cook

My RBs are a mess, especially since Freeman didnt look good last week. Someone offered me Kerryon Johnson for Kirk and Gallup. I'd lose my WR depth, but I feel I need to make a move for a RB. What do you guys think?

How many teams? 2-1's are stupid, he's trying to hope you'll sell low on gallup, and do you really want 2 members of the lions offense on your starting roster, they still have to play the bears and vikings twice. Also i wouldn't worry that much yet about freeman, because last week the Falcons played their most difficult opponent of the season.

[J.T.]

Two-part question...

1) Jimmy Graham or Kyle Rudolph?

2) Do you know where I can get any codones?

1) We may have reached peak coin flip probability on this one, Ace. Gun to my head, go with Graham, but you're probably dead either way.

2) You guys aren't going to believe this but I'm down to weed only these days.

Vance McDonald or Eric Ebron?

Yeah I know I need to trade for a TE, probably will depending on what trade scenarios become logical after this weekend. I think the Colts go back to using Ebron exactly like they did last year with Devin Funchess hurt now, but TEN defends TE pretty well. Have McDonald in there now and need to be talked out of thinking last week will happen to him again.

i thought kirk was being drafted way too high, 5th/6th round of drafts. at that value i was avoiding him. there were a few players who i was specifically avoiding based on their draft position.

[spurraider21]

David Johnson, Mark Ingram, and Marlon Mack all shit the bed but i managed to squeak out a slim victory. Would have lost if i chose Gordon over AB

barring suspension, AB is gonna be a monster. He got 50+ yards and a TD despite only playing 20 something snaps

I've also got Conner at RB.

I might have over drafted Mahomes tbh but before Shady showed up I thought I was sitting good at RB with Damien in a ppr league.

I've also got 4 tier 2 wrs but no tier 1. Usually that's not a bad thing when bye weeks roll around

Mixon, Mostert, or Royce Freeman at RB2?

Mixon hasn't done anything yet, but he was my second round draft pick. He has to snap out of it eventually, right?

non-PPR

That’s tough. Wilson looks like he’s the SF goalline back. I really don’t know what to do with Mixon. He might still be dealing with his ankle. Freeman should be the short yardage/goal line back. I’d go Freeman I guess.

[Holden_Caulfield]

I’ll give you fags one more chance after that Aaron Jones blunder.


ppr. Agholor or Metcalf. Alston and desean are out.

burkhead or duke. White is out.

i have the choice of lesean mccoy and marlon mack tonight... mack is a game time decision. if he's active, do i roll with him? he has higher upside, but if the chiefs take a big lead early and colts abandon the run, his floor is quite low. meanwhile i think mccoy is a lock for his 12-15 touches

the very fact that he's a GDT also scares me... if he's barely healthy enough to play that doesnt bode well for a big performance

Coulda just looked at what marlon Mack did to them last game + Chris Jones was out. I lost cause of josh Gordon’s Thursday. Silver lining is i got Mack/Jacobs byes out of the way and i got tyreek back in full force going forward.

I want to sell high on Mark Ingram. Don’t think his TD production is sustainable.

[DeadlyDynasty]

TE's suck this year. Kinda forced to play oldman graham another week until Herndon is back healthy. Hopefully Njoku is back for playoff run too...otherwise, that's the pne black hole on a great starting lineup

[spurraider21]

cooks has been garbage, but he's playin the Falcons this week in about as good a matchup as you can get. my other option is terry mclaurin who is a beast, but up against the SF defense.

I've had McLaurin sitting on my bench. Unfortunately, I have to play him this week due to byes. Wish it was a better matchup. Also Keenum missing practice with some injuries.
Cooks seems like the right play.

[spurraider21]

cooks has been a huge bust... mostly because their offensive line has fallen apart, so the deeper routes dont have a shot to develop. its why kupp is still eating despite their struggles.

falcons D is exceptionally poor, so i think im probably starting him, though i am trying to trade away some of my WRs

terry has been awesome this year. i actually benched cooks last week against the niners and was rewarded with terry scoring 2 TDs. vindication for benching my 3rd round pick felt good. still lost my matchup though :lol

i also have john brown against the dolphins which seems good, but reports are he got a bit banged up at practice today, and i generally dont trust josh allen

Yeah,...I've had him since week 2. He looks great. But I've been starting Cooper/Godwin/Lockett over him. I was really torn last week between Lockett (who barely gets any targets) and McLaurin. Of course I picked the wrong one.

[Darth_Pelican]

Cousins vs. Skins tomorrow night or Rodgers at Chiefs Sunday? Cousins seemed like the sure play, but with Thielen out, now it seems like a toss up...

I'd also worry about Minnesota just being able to run all over the Redskins. But I guess you could say the same with GB vs. Chiefs. Although that game should be closer I guess.

You're welcome for the definitive advice.

FU Cousins

[spurraider21]

fuck case keenum for constantly getting hurt... mclaurin only produces with case on the field

Yeah...he was on his way to a decent game until Keenum went out. Then nothing. Good news is Keenum is still the starting QB.
Bad news is they've got the Bills and a bye next.

No starting lineup dilemmas, just bumping this thread for FF playoff discussion.

Despite being the highest scorer in my league, I barely squeaked into the playoffs because FF is dumb like that.

I have Zeke, Cooper, and Allen Robinson rolling tonight.

Having two receivers that rely on shit qbs is the reason you barely squeaked in. Not saying they're bad receivers but the variance for those two is all over the place

Baker at home vs Cincy or Goff (potentially rejuvenated) at home vs Seattle

Which turd sandwich do I start?

[The Gemini Method]

Cincy has been playing a ton better on D. Made a red hot Sam Darnold look like well, the spectre seeing Darnold of earlier in the season. This is a tough one. I'd lean Baker because Goff has been so unpredictable, I imagine this is an important week for you, so Mayfield. Are you currently in the playoffs or is this regular season?

Playoffs. QB has been my Achilles most of the year with Goff and Jameis, but Baker got cut recently so I picked him up, mainly just to go insane trying to decide which of these shitty QB’s to roll the dice on. I ruled out Jameis for sure but am torn on the other two.

5 total touchdowns, over 50 points from 3 players. Perfect start.

I ruled out Jameis for sure but am torn on the other two.. I think the reprisal of the Rams' offense has been the usage of Gurley. It's always been his play that fueled the team. I think you'll get 20 points from Goff, just this year it hasn't been a sure week-to-week thing. Here's to you winning the playoff match-up. I had a great season and got the 1st seed.

[spurraider21]

so.. the fuck do i do here?

- marlon mack first game back against the bucs elite run D?
- josh jacobs is questionable, legitimately might not play, and i have nobody else who plays in the afternoon slot or any of the night games
- do i flex fuller?
- certainly dont feel like i can trust ronald jones

i really needed a fucking bye but lost last week to lose that spot

https://i.gyazo.com/d4d7d15ef693cce055bc66f82b13b370.png

[The Gemini Method]

Thank goodness I had a bye this week. I mean I scored 90 with Wentz still slated to go, but I would need him to have score quite a bit to beat my potential 2nd round opponent.

[Arcadian]

New England or Baltimore defense for week 15? I have both. This is the semi-finals in my league.

[spurraider21]

my whole team (posted above) shit the bed outside of tannehill and kelce. knocked out. advanced in my office league which i care much less about. i really needed to secure that bye...

nm...I misread

[spurraider21]

secure a bye??? are you saying that your playoffs start Week 16 with the finals in Week 17?
no, i got eliminated in the first round because i failed to secure a bye. i lost the last week of the regular season (week 13). had i won i would have gotten the bye and escaped this past week where my team sucked

[Robz4000]

:lol I got lucky myself losing a week ago since the opponent I would've faced as the #1 seed put up 190 points this past weekend.

[SpursforSix]

New England or Baltimore defense for week 15? I have both. This is the semi-finals in my league.

And embarrassment of riches. I'm probably go with New England coming off a loss. But I don't think you can go wrong. Probably a coin flip.

[Darth_Pelican]

Made the Semifinal money round! And even better news, my opponent has Mike Evans who is out and also Josh Jacobs who might be out.

:lol Jacobs' tweet: https://twitter.com/iAM_JoshJacobs/status/1204479785646186502?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcam p%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

[The Gemini Method]

New England or Baltimore defense for week 15? I have both. This is the semi-finals in my league. One is going against the Daltons the other is going up against the Darnolds.

I'm in the semifinals...I am either starting Carson Wentz or Kirk Cousins. QB hasn't been my workhorse position, but it should help to get a strong outing from one of those two.

[Darth_Pelican]

I need Tucker to kick about 5 FGs tonight k thanks.

[SpursforSix]

I need Tucker to kick about 5 FGs tonight k thanks.

Good luck. 5 PATs is more likely.

[monosylab1k]

Raheem Mostert (solid matchup, but one fumble could get him permabenched) or Devin Singletary (awful matchup, and Frank Gore still steals goal line carries for no good reason, but also getting pretty close to RB1 level touches)?

Raheem Mostert (solid matchup, but one fumble could get him permabenched) or Devin Singletary (awful matchup, and Frank Gore still steals goal line carries for no good reason, but also getting pretty close to RB1 level touches)? How does Breida's return hamper into Mostert's cut of the carries?

[monosylab1k]

How does Breida's return hamper into Mostert's cut of the carries?

Yeah that’s the concerning part. Every last “expert” acts like Breida is irrelevant and that Mostert is an RB2 lock. I’d bet one 40 yd run from Breida would change that dynamic quickly.

But then Singletary could get 15-20 touches of just running into a brick wall.

[Robz4000]

Mostert will prolly get a TD or two imo, so he's a good bet.

[The Gemini Method]

But then Singletary could get 15-20 touches of just running into a brick wall. I have both Singletary and Breida. Not sure if I'll start either one. I had Mark Andrews and Justin Tucker. Got a solid game from Andrews. Though that one incomplete pass from Jackson when Andrews was streaking would've been nice. That would've covered up the Justin Tucker lack of usage.

[SpursforSix]

How does Breida's return hamper into Mostert's cut of the carries?

Maybe a little but not enough to not play Mostert with some confidence. There was some comment by Shanny recently praising Mostert and talking about him earning the #1 spot.
And I don't think he's one to go RBBC crazy like Pederson or LeFleur.

[Arcadian]

So, I'm winning my game 141-139. My opponent is done, and I have Jared Cook tonight.

With Cook in the lineup, my "chance of winning" (according to Yahoo) is 93%. If I remove him from the lineup, of course that changes to 100% because the game would be over.

So, should I bench Cook just in case he fumbles and gets negative yards? Or is that considered unsportsmanlike to intentionally play an empty slot?

[The Gemini Method]

For the first time this whole season, my team did not produce. I'm winning by 7 with my opponent having Brees and Kamara vs my Michael Thomas. Lost Cook and got nothing from Cooper. The 49er D was a no-show. A sputtering effort again. a 12-1 season gone to waste unless somehow Thomas outscores the two teammates. At least I won my buy-in back.

[Darth_Pelican]

My opponent had Perriman (3 tds), Aaron Jones (2 tds), and Barkley (2 tds). Needless to say, I lost. Fml.

[SpursforSix]

You'll need to ask SFS. He's the expert on fantasy football sportsmanship.

Otherwise, it's your team, do whatever the hell you want

[spurraider21]

bench cook and dont think twice. ive never heard of that strat being unsportsmanlike.

i ended up 5th/12 in my main league... frustrating because my team went off this week (tyreek/kelce/ingram) after duds last week, when i got knocked out of the first round.

that said, i'm in the finals in my 14 man office league, which i generally care less about, so i'm still guaranteed a net positive season.

Here...let's ask spurraider...he's unbiased.

So if you've been eliminated from the playoffs, do you quit setting your lineup even if you've got multiple inactive players starting? And fuck it up for the rest of the teams still in contention?
Or do you just take the couple of minutes and set your roster?

you should still set lineups. you cant act as a de-facto bye week for other players towards the end of the season.

thats different than arcadian's example, where he's competing to win. benching cook isn't "tanking" to give somebody else a free win, its competing.

general rule of thumb is you should always play to win. i think the only grey area is where you are locked into a playoff spot and consider tanking the last week to determine who does or doesnt make playoffs if you think that gives you an advantage

Done. I guess it's sort of like fouling up 3 in basketball. I'm not gonna pull a Popovich and do something that increases my chances of losing just for "honor" or some shit.

In other news, thanks to the dumbass who dropped Kenyan Drake in week 13, which made this whole playoff run possible for me :lol 39 points yesterday

Agree.

[SpursforSix]

Dude...what is your problem. I made a pretty innocuous comment about you not setting your lineup. Even added an "lol" to it.
Then you got defensive about it. Most fantasy players would agree with me and think you're kind of an asshole for pussing out just because there wasn't any money on the line.

You're the one that brought it up again.

[Blake]

I brought you up for shits and giggles, fantasy cop. I don't really care who agrees with you. If you're gonna whine about it then change the rules to make everyone participate every game. If not, tough shit, you'll have to live with your panties way up all in there, dude.

[Arcadian]

In the final, the main choices I have to make are:

Will Fuller or Robert Woods at WR2? (Fuller has better matchup, but Sherman might not play for SF. Another factor is I have Deshaun Watson, so there's a possibility for tandem points with Fuller.)

New England or Baltimore defense?

I think I'd go with Fuller against TB. Goff looked awful the other day and may have some issues with his hand. It's also hard to predict who he'll throw to in any given game.
I don't think you can go wrong with either D. NE/Buffalo should be low scoring. But Ravens vs. Mayfield could result in some ints.

I'm going to go ahead and drop this because you're too ignorant to have a civil discussion with.

[Blake]

Lol "civil discussion"

You're an idiot

[Arcadian]

Won my league!

Thanks to those who gave advice :toast

I mainly won this week because of Barkley with 40. The #1 overall draft pick came through when it mattered most.

[Trainwreck2100]

I won too, miles sanders really came through

[spurraider21]

5/12 in my main

2/14 in my office league. Lost by less than 3 points. Thank you fuller and Lockett
