...I feel like I'm gonna die. Good bye, my Luck good bye.

Welcome to the Week 10 NFL Fantasy Football sit/start thread!

Don't sit your studs unless they aren't really studs in which case maybe sit them.

List your league settings and matchups when you post your sit/start questions.

Remember that the Dallas/Jacksonville game is actually in London this week.

I'd lean Rivera due to targets alone, but Cameron is playing Cin, and Cle vs. Cin games can get crazy. Plus Cameron has to get better eventually, right?

Cameron is by far the more experienced player, and his role is fairly settled. He's also still listed as Questionable on concussion protocol, and didn't practice today.

Rivera is the new kid on a terrible team but it looks like Carr is willing to give him a bunch of targets. And the Raiders will surely be down early against Denver and forced to throw the ball a lot.

And he was able to put up a bunch of points against Seattle, so he must have talent too.

For a one-week fill-in I like Rivera.

Rivera has been starting all season, getting plenty of targets because he's on an offensive with a decent QB and offensive line but no receivers at all, and doing jack loving poo poo with them. He had 101 yards through the first 6 weeks. He's one of the worst starting tight ends in the league in terms of talent. He's benefited over the last two weeks from wideouts being blanketed by Richard Sherman and Joe Haden. He's fine as a fill-in, and I'm picking him up in one league this week as a bye-week starter, but don't delude yourself into thinking he's anything more than that.

So, filling in my backup QB spot after losing foles, who was gonna sit in for rivers, and I'm wondering how much I should consider ROS, given Rivers' tough end of year schedule and recent slips. Options as they stand on the wire right now:
Tannehill, Sanchez, Davis, RG3, Palmer, Orton, Smith
Currently have a claim in on Palmer, do any of those strike you as a better option?

Rivera's targets have seen a significant uptick in the last two games:


...and last game was the first time he was given any red zone targets.

While I agree he's not a great player in terms of raw talent, Oakland has nothing else to throw at and with volume will come production.

I am only endorsing him as a fill-in over a man with a concussion who may not play and if he does play, may be limited. I think that's reasonable, and I think he's also an interesting gamble to grab for the bench just to see what happens in the next couple weeks - whether his target and catch numbers are sustained or if they drop back off.

I want to warn you fellers
And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing
A woman and a gun

I need to pick someone up for Luck this week in my 12 team work league, standard scoring league except that we get 6 pts per passing TD, which caused me to pick Luck in the 4th round in the first place. I've been running with no one on my Bench to try to find a solution at WR (went Lynch, Murray, Gronk, Luck 1-4, been scraping the waiver wire for WRs all season), but now I need to pick someone up for the week.

I've narrowed it down to:

Vick v PIT
Sanchez v CAR
Carr v DEN
Orton v KC

Looking at this I honestly feel like picking up Carr, the Raiders are likely to be playing from behind early, and the Denver defense has looked porous lately.

Additional question, do I put in a waiver wire claim on someone or just try to get them on FA? Leaning towards FA.

I would run to pick up Dallas, any team is a must start vs jax and I would expect Dallas to bounce back in a big way after two losses.

I need some waiver wire advice for a rb and te: best looking rb's are T. West cle, B. Rainey tb, and L. Taliaferro bal.

Best looking tight ends are C. Clay Mia, M. Rivera oak, and A. Quarless gb.

This is a standard nfl league.

Your RBs are hosed no matter what (maybe West, as Tate hasn't been doing poo poo - Rainey will split with Sims, Taliaferro had an awful week last week and will probably get reduced time), for TEs I'd go either Clay or Rivera, as Quarless splits time/catches with R.Rodgers, so you're praying for a TD there. Clay has more talent, but Rivera will probably see more targets. Rivera for the better floor, Clay for the homerun ball.

I'd go Sanchez or Carr. Carr's going to have to throw a ton, but CAR's pass D is really really bad, Sanchez looked good against a beat-up Houston, and the Eagles run a ton of plays. If it were me, with 6pts/PassingTD, I go Carr.

I'd do waiver wire claim, but a lot of it depends on how desperate for QB other people in your league are.

Miami has a better floor, because they will get sacks, but Dallas against JAX has big potential. Bortles has been throwing pick-6's like he's Schaub Jr., and if Dallas gets a lead early, the Jags will be throwing.

Picked up Sanchez to cover Luck's bye, fingers crossed.

RB2: Sims
FLEX: ODB, Decker

JStew and Antone Smith are on waivers as is CJ0K, Riddick and other players like that. Antone Smith against TB at home seems like a good pickup if he actually plays but there hasn't been news on that yet afaik.

Antone is good if Mike Smith pulls his head out of his rear end, which is unlikely. he'll get 4 carries or something dumb while sjax falls forward for 2 ypc all game

You're going to want to sit receivers playing against Dallas and Detroit. Detroit held Jordy Nelson and Julio Jones to under 6 points and had only 4 receivers score more than 10 (Colston 11, Stills 16, Decker 10, Avant 11), Dallas has only allowed 3 receivers to break 10 (Quick 12, Beckham Jr 16, Djax 13).

Flex, non ppr standard NFL.com scoring

Mike Wallace or Martavis Bryant?

I mean Wallace has been decently consistent and gets a good amount of touchdowns, but Bryant should be tasty against the Jets secondary and Wallace is going against the DET secondary.

Bryant also gets all of his points from touchdowns and Ben's 2 week explosion has to die down sometime? I just feel like Brown is going to get such a lions share of the throws and when they do finally regress, Bell is going to get the other half of the workload....
