It's all good, I won by 35 after good games from DJ and Melvin. I'm up by 2 points over the next person in the league for the money this week, but not likely to win cause they have Sanders and I have Thomas. All the same, at least I got the dub
ungrateful
and crofl if you lost after having goff, melvin gordon, david johnson, stefon diggs, will fuller, AND jags defense because of one sit-start decision

He certainly proved me wrong today, but that is usually not the norm while he's been in Oakland.
I believe that was his first 100+ yard game he's had in a while.
as long as manny sanders doesnt pop off for ~29 points tonight, i should be in the clear in my main league, despite having to start dalvin cook and derrick henry this week (peterson on bye, ingram suspended)
in my other league, i need mahomes to outscore lindsay/devonte booker by about 20 points, tho that league has some silly scoring settings... qb's get a point for every 20 yards instead of 25, and there are ridiculous bonuses for 300 yards, 350, etc.
Who would you start this week? Brees vs the 5th rank D (?) Redskins or Joe Flacco vs the Browns?
Brees @ home IMO
I need running back suggestions. Need to start 3 RBs out of
Fournette (out)
Yeldon
Mixon
Ajayi
D. Freeman
If Fournette is out, Yeldon is a no brainer. KC's defense is hot garbage.
If Mixon is playing, he's by far the bell cow on a good Cinci offense. Miami's defense is average at best.
Ajayi... minnesota seems to do better against the run than the pass. Also the Eagles are a big time RBBC team and Smallwood has been featured of late. Bench
D. Freeman against Pissburgh's ty defense... no brainer. Only X factor is if Coleman gets hot. You know Quinn will work Coleman this year because he's gone after 2018 while Freeman is signed long term.

Brees.
Redskins are on the road and aren't a good defense, they've only played 3 games so their total numbers are lower than most teams, also they played ass Zona in week 1 who had no offense because they were trotting out the worst QB in the NFL (Bradford) at the time.
Ravens offense is good but the Browns defense has markedly improved, though last week's game wouldn't show it.
updated roster...
QB: Jared Goff
RB1: Melvin Gordon
RB2: David Johnson
WR1: Stefon Diggs
WR2: Calvin Ridley
TE: Jimmy Graham
Flex: Chris Thompson
IDP: Demario Davis
D/ST: Jacksonville Jaguars
K: Mason Crosby
BN: Mark Ingram (SSPD)
BN: Will Fuller V
BN: Demaryius Thomas
BN: Austin Ekeler
BN: Corey Davis
IR:
Will Fuller, Corey Davis, or Calvin Ridley at WR2? I'm pretty set on starting Thompson at the flex this week.
If Fuller was 100%, he’d be the start for me. But he could retweak the hamstring at any time.
Davis should be covered by White all day so I think I’d stay away from that matchup.
Ridley gets the lowest snap % but should be in a shootout.
To me it’s Fuller or Ridley. Just depending on if you want to play Fuller with the risk.
I’d go without Ridley too. All of Atlanta’s injuries on defense have turned them into a pass heavy team that plays from behind a lot in high scoring games. Ridley is also going to see more snaps because of that.
i need AP and Mark Ingram to protect my 20 point lead against Breesus
so i got a little conundrum at RB this week. my current backs are:
Ingram (bye)
Dalvin Cook
Adrian Peterson
Wendell Smallwood
Derrick Henry
report came out today that Cook was a full participant in practice, so looks like he's past his injury and should be fine in a cupcake matchup against the cardinals.
question is what do i do at my RB2 spot. all reports so far indicate peterson wants to play through his injury, and i'm down for that. but there's always the risk he's eventually held out. alternative is to start smallwood tonight, but his role alongside clement is uncertain. what sucks is eagles play tonight, so i have to commit to Smallwood NOW and then wont be able to play peterson if he's active.
my gut is to gamble and bench smallwood, banking on peterson to play. if peterson turns out to be unavailable, my only option would be to start henry
That is tough. I’d also worry that the Viks cupcake matchup might be a chance for them to get Cook some more rest.
And then the Peterson issue. I would probably start Smallwood tonight and then think really hard about Peterson over Cook.
last time the vikes thought that way they got they pushed in by buffalo. if cook had just put in a couple of limited practices (like he did before the Rams dud), i'd be worried. a full practice means they're not even doing maintenance and he's good to go, imo.
so it really comes down to peterson vs smallwood, and everything i've read has said AP is gonna play. i think ima bench smallwood. i already have OBJ and Alshon starting today... dont want to put too many eggs into TNF basket.
Okey dokey. With Sproles out, I’d still start Smallwood over AP.
i started smallwood.
so far no good
Whatever you do, don’t start Smallwood.
updated roster...
QB: Jared Goff
RB1: Melvin Gordon
RB2: David Johnson
WR1: Stefon Diggs
WR2: Calvin Ridley
TE: Jimmy Graham
Flex: Will Fuller V
IDP: Nick Vigil
D/ST: Jacksonville Jaguars
K: Mason Crosby
BN: Mark Ingram (BYE)
BN: Chris Thompson
BN: Demaryius Thomas
BN: Austin Ekeler
BN: Corey Davis
IR:
Will Fuller, Corey Davis, Demaryius Thomas, or Chris Thompson at the Flex?
scratch
Unfortunately, Smallwood was the right call after all.
yeah. only other option would have been derrick henry
Luck @ home vs Bills or Watson @ Jacksonville?
Not great choices but I suppose it's Luck. Watson probably won't have much time to throw. Watson hasn't been great even against worse teams.
Luck is quietly one of the top FF QBs so far this season. He’s on my team and I’m riding with him instead of my other QB (Rivers) this weekend.
