So you're still in the playoffs. Congrats on being okay at fake football, nerds! -Don't sit your studs, unless they're Antonio Brown. -Include league scoring settings. -Score the most points to win the game. I'll start: Matt Ryan v. PIT or Tom Brady v. MIA 6 pt TDs. Leaning Ryan, but may start Brady if Julio doesn't play. Nervous about Miami, may rain, and Ryan is coming off a monster week while playing at home.

I realize this is probably over thinking, but am I crazy to sit Lacy this week with his injury + playing the bills defense? I'm looking at RB2 and flex. Murray is my RB1. Yahoo standard. Lacy @ Buf Crowell vs Cin J Bell vs Min

I need a bit of advice. I have Antonio Brown but my opponent this week is starting Shaun Suisham in the kicker spot. I've recently authored the wikipedia article on covariance, and it got me thinking about the strong relationship between these players. I need every bit of competitive edge I can get, so I was thinking of sitting Brown and starting Dwayne Bowe. Let me know what you think. It's 1 ppr if that matters.

Standard scoring, flex one: Jeremy Maclin v Dallas Josh Gordon v Cincinnati Lamar Miller @ NE I hate Mark Sanchez for demoting Maclin from stud status, but it is what it is. Lamar Miller seems good for a solid 7-10, but his ceiling seems really low compared to either of my other options. Josh Gordon will have a rookie QB throwing to him and Cincinnati is second stingiest giving up points to WR, but I want to start him anyway, haha. It feels like a toss up between Maclin and Miller, I guess I'm slightly leaning Maclin?

stupid scoring league .5ppr 20 yards/pt 6 pt/td rush/rec so TDs are worth way more than yards. Doug Baldwin v SF DeAndre Hopkins @ Ind With Brandon Marshall going down going to need one of these guys or a waiver pickup to stay alive. Attempting to pick up Harry Douglas and might go with him if Julio is out. Otherwise leaning Hopkins at the moment, but could go for Baldwin against an imploding 49ers.

Definitely don't need to risk starting Gordon, I think. This is assuming Jimmy Graham starts playing more like Jimmy Graham, though, else I'll be in a pretty big hole. I don't have Antonio Brown, so benching him isn't an option, unfortunately.

I need nothing but home-run balls all day. I am running with Delanie Walker in the TE spot, but is there someone who might see a multi-TD game this weekend randomly? I'm facing a team in the playoffs that mortgaged his future for a WR corps of Calvin, Jordy and Demaryius. Yeah.

Avoid Starting Redskins this week? I have Joique or Morris at RB2. Reed or Miller at TE. Morris will be tempting if RG3 gets the start. Think I'm benching Reed either way.

Parker Lewis posted:Avoid Starting Redskins this week? I'd go with Joique - even with Bush back he seems to be getting a lot of carries and catches. I'd probably agree on sitting Reed. Now for my RB situation - I wonder if anyone will have an opinion this week. Need 2, standard scoring for first week of the playoffs. Lamar Miller @ NE L. Murray @ KC Joique vs Min Crowell vs Cin Stewart vs TB Leaning Murray or Stewart and Joique. And for WR2+3: Denard Robinson @ Bal Torrey Smith vs Jax Moncrief vs Houston Decker @ Ten Colston @ Chi Leaning Torrey Smith as the obvious choice if he's healthy, and undecided on WR3. Denard has an awful matchup and hasn't been doing well the past 3 weeks, so I'm leaning toward Decker if Harvin misses time despite being a Jet. If Torrey is hurt I might gamble on Moncrief, despite his only getting 4 targets on a ridiculous number of passes last week. I really don't want to start Colston, although he has been better than awful on occasion.

I'll have to think about the Denard vs Decker thing - I can't really afford a 3-4 point game from Robinson. For your situation, I think I'd lean Ben over Manning, although both have good matchups and both have very good WR1s. I'd go with Matthews over Sanu - Sanu is very inconsistent and has been playing like poo poo lately.

Miko posted:I need nothing but home-run balls all day. Dark horse TE that would be available that could score multi-TDs randomly, only one I can think of is Tim Wright on NE, who plays a lot more when NE is up against a pass-rush heavy team (Miami), and has occasionally squeaked out a 2 TD game. Also puts up a goose egg every now and again, though. Super high-risk play. If Cook on the Rams is available, I'd go with that. He gets long-ball TDs.

Ryan Tannehill vs. NE or Johnny Manziel vs. CIN This should be obvious...right?  To be fair, CIN's defense against QBs is overrated. Who are the only QBs to not hit 20 points on the Bengals? -Matt Ryan -Jake Locker -Joe Flacco -Ryan Mallett -Brian Hoyer -Josh McCown Otherwise, there's been a few games they've been absolutely torched. Like Big Ben's game last week. 18 point average. Patriots average giving 19 points to QBs. I mean, the idea is to leave Tannehill in there, hope I win, and see how Manziel does. If Manziel goes off, I use him in the championship game. But, I have to get there first. 89 fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Dec 10, 2014 |

Not sure about who to fill in my flex spot (0.5 PPR). I'm leaning towards Larry Fitzgerald but worried about it being a Thursday game. Larry Fitzgerald vs STL Gio Bernard vs CLE Doug Baldwin vs SF Knile Davis vs Oak (I've already got Charles at RB, just stashing Davis for now but figured I'd throw his name out there if anyone feels real good about him this week)

I feel like I used to have very few questions about who to start, but I can't make up my mind on a bunch of stuff this week. ESPN standard scoring. RB2 L Murray@KC Lamar Miller @ NE Flex Kelvin Benjamin TB Jordan Matthews Dal B Lafell MIA or Murray/Miller depending on who I start there. Bold is my current picks. Miller is more consistent, but Murray put up good numbers against KC a few weeks ago. Cam's car crash has me worried, but Benjamin also put up 15 points on TB in week 1, and that was without Cam.

10 team, 0.2 PPR, Yahoo league. I'm the number 1 seed and facing a pretty weak opponent, so I'm mostly just looking for the highest floor with my RB2. Pick WR1, WR2, and Flex Demaryius Thomas @ San Diego Odell Beckham vs Washington TY Hilton vs Houston Randall Cobb @ Buffalo Pick an RB2 Mark Ingram @ Chicago Jonathan Stewart vs Tampa Bay Jeremy Hill @ Cleveland Lamar Miller @ New England Bold is what I'm currently thinking, but I'm really tempted to start Stewart against TB. If DeAngelo Williams is out, I think that's what I'll do. But what should I do if he plays?

I think in general you're right though, the chance that he'll score substantially fewer points than boring safe Miller is pretty low, and he does have a higher upside.

He'll only be really disappointing if NO is playing from behind the whole game. Despite last week, I still think NO's offense will sputter a little less than the Bears' offense. It's close, though, Stewart isn't a bad decision either.

It is only one data point, but his only touchdowns did come against the Chiefs, and their defense isn't good. I think he has as good a chance as Miller does at finding the endzone personally. As for who I'd start, I'm not so sure (hence why I asked a similar question about my RBs earlier).

In a non-PPR, standard Yahoo league, I need to choose between: WR #2 Mike Wallace @ NE Jordan Matthews VS DAL Martavis Bryant @ ATL RB #2 & Flex Giovani Bernard @ CLE Ryan Mathews VS DEN Latavius Murray @KC Daniel Herron vs. HOU Bernard has mostly been a disappointment post-injury, and Mathews has a bad match-up so I'm not sure. In all cases I'm pretty up in the air.

Just because those are the only two rushing TDs KC has given up  I don't think I have watched any KC games, but it seems like too many games for it to be a fluke that they don't allow rushing touchdowns, even though they give up so many rushing yards. And yeah, I don't think Miller has a great shot at a touchdown either.

Yea, my biggest concern with L Murray is that KC was somehow caught by surprise last time since it was his first start. Now they will have a better game plan and shut him down. I was thinking that Murray and Miller's floors were probably both around 5 points, but Miller hasn't really had a big game all year. I'm going Murray, although it's practically a coin flip.

EDIT:^^ Oh poo poo, just in time for L.Murray chat, perfect. I have that same fear too  Despite having a revolving door of QBs all season I've made it to the playoffs, and I need to go for big points this week to make it to the championship game. Which of these guys gives me the highest ceiling? Matt Ryan vs. Pit Tannehill @ NE Mark Sanchez vs. Dal Johnny loving Football vs. Cin Derek Anderson (Cam's backup) vs. TB It's JFF isn't it. In this same league (ESPN, 0 ppr) Ellington has left me with a hole in the RB2 spot. Who's the best play? Latavius Murray @KC Rashad Jennings vs. Wsh Andre Williams vs. Wsh Alfred Blue @Ind Right now I'm leaning L.Murray in hopes that he'll have a day like the one he had last time the Raiders played KC, plus he put up decent RB2 numbers last week. Seems like an easier choice than trying to figure out what the Giants backfield is going to look like...
