Jordan Reed is Out. So is Trevor Siemian.

With Reed out, Vernon Davis is upgraded and the entire Broncos offense is downgraded. Unless you are a Paxton Lynch True Believer?

Flip a coin. Kaep has been generous with targets to McDonald, but Davis is now the TE1 in a hot Redskins offense.

I think in both floor and ceiling that Ebron is the choice here.

Okay, winner gets in, standard scoring. For a flex:

Marvin Jones @ NO
Todd Gurley vs NE
Mike Wallace vs MIA

Also, what defense of the poo poo pools available?

WSH @ ARI
NYJ vs IND
CHI vs SF (!)
SF @ CHI (!?!?)
JAX vs DEN (idk)

Or do I roll the dice and stay steady with the Chiefs at the Falcons? Justin Houston killin it. Not IDP but just saying.

Ugh. I... dunno. Yeah. Sorry, now I don't have a strong opinion either way. I'm fighting a personal bias (Raiders homer) so maybe I'm too down on Hill, and you should start Hill? :shrug:

4 pptd. It's a 2 QB league and my other starter is Matt Ryan, if that matters.

Not only is it solidly Rivers this week (Cam is vs. the Seahawks, #5 vs. QBs, while Rivers is vs. the Bucs, #20 vs. QBs), but Cam should be permanently benched for Rivers/Ryan combo rest of season, unless the Panthers suddenly wake up and start being not terrible again. In the last five games (since coming off bye), Cam is averaging 227.2 yards and one passing touchdown per game (plus two rushing TDs, for 7 TDs total). He's completing less than 50% of his passes and his rushing yardage is way down, too.

Meanwhile, Rivers faces TB, Car, Oak, Cle, (KC week 17). I like all of those matchups except the week 17 one, but hopefully your league is done by then, right?


Chernabog posted:

Watkins @ OAK
or
Gore @ NJY

Standard

In standard, Gore should get like ten points against the Jets, who are #16th vs. RBs, and he's got a solid floor of around that normally. Without Luck, he only got 2 points against Pittsburgh, but Luck is off the injury report so I think it's safe to say he's back at his normal ~10 to 15 point range.

Sammy Watkins has a broken bone in his foot. He's supposedly playing for sure this weekend, but I don't think you can rely on him at all. He had three catches and 8 points in standard last week and maybe he'll do better than that this week, or maybe not. Oakland is only 22nd against WRs, but the Bills are a run-first offense and despite the Q designation, Shady is going to play. Marquise Goodwin is also practicing and will likely play, so Watkins is not Tyrod's only viable target. On the other hand, there's not much after Goodwin: Robert Woods and Percy Harvin are both ruled out, Walter Powell just went on IR, and Brandon Tate is questionable with a concussion. That leaves Watkins, Goodwin, and Justin Taylor as their only "healthy" wideouts going into the weekend and honestly I'm wondering how in the gently caress that even works? Charles Clay might not even play because he just had a baby and didn't travel to Oakland and was Questionable anyway, so the Bills just promoted another TE (Gerald Christian) up from the practice squad.

Soooo. I think the Bills are doomed this week, they're going to run the gently caress out of the ball, Watkins and Goodwin are the only guys that the Raiders need to really cover downfield, and I'd be really hesitant to start Sammy. I mean, maybe he's the one good point of passing offense and will get a billion targets? It's possible! But a big gamble.

I'd go Gore for the sure points, or Watkins for the upside lottery ticket with a potential floor of 0.


RCarr posted:

DeAndre Hopkins will do exactly what he's been doing for the last like ten games: five catches for 35-70 yards, and no touchdowns. His last TD was in week 5!

Willie Snead will do exactly what he's been doing for this season: 3-6 catches for 35-70 yards, and no touchdowns. He had two TDs against the Broncos in week 10, but he's only got 4 TDs on the season.

You can confidently roll out with either of these guys for approximately the same disappointing results. Hopkins theoretically has more upside, but not as long as the 72 Million Dollar Man is behind center. Snead is a competent WR3 on a pass-heavy offense led by Drew Fuckin' Brees, but the Saints have plenty of targets to distribute the ball to, and you really can't hope for a Snead to Hightower TD pass again, although in theory that upside is there too.

Flip a coin, guys, if these are the two players you're picking from, there's just nothing solid to push one over the other.

Win and I am in, lose and I need a lot of poo poo to break my way. Would you play this any different?

QB: Cousins
RB: Ware
RB: Forte
WR: AB84
WR: Evans
TE: Kelce
Flex: Booker
DST: MIN
K: Sturgis

Bench: Marvin Jones, Hightower, Starks, B. Powell, K. Dixon, S. Watkins

I am thinking Hightower over Booker if, and only if, Ingram is declared out. I am tempted by Jones' matchup (NO), but he has become such a dud and is now questionable, so I'm thinking "no."

Edit: .5 ppr.

Edit 2: reports about Jones Jr. and DET activating a practice squad WR have removed Jones from contention for me, despite the sweet match-up.

I like your choices overall, but might lean Rivers over the other two this week. He and Cousins look pretty comparable after that, both a bit ahead of Carr ROS (I really don't like Carr @ KC on a Thursday). Personally I would feel OK dropping Carr for Rivers unless you want to keep him for next season.

My turn! 0.5 PPR, pick a flex:
Ty Williams v. TB (I like him a lot but that shoulder injury...)
Devontae Booker @ JAX (hasn't shown anything this year)
Thomas Rawls v. CAR (good run D?)

May 26, 2012

AND MY SONG IS...
.5 PPR and yes this is an 8 team league

I can start 4 of these WRs (if i flex one):
Jordy Nelson vHou, DeAndre Hopkins @GB, Jarvis Landry @Bal, Tyrell Williams vTB, Jamison Crowder @Ari , Emanuel Sanders @Jax

Nelson is I think the only obvious start of that bunch. I've had Hopkins and Landry plugged in every week and they've been disappointments more often than not lately. I've watched Williams lighting things up on my bench but is the week after a hurt shoulder really the time to start him?

I'm leaning Nelson, Williams, Crowder and Hopkins on the flex. What say you?

Farchanter posted:

I think that's an easy Nelson start. You can't get both of them in there?

Man that's a tough decision

If it were me I'd choose Cooks. Brady has too many targets for me to trust any single one

OK - I have Sammy Watkins as my WR2 and Tyrell Williams as my FLEX2 and I am thinking of switching in Marquess Wilson or Taylor Gabriel for one or both. Standard scoring.

I am scared that Watkins and Williams are not 100%. Feels like a giant gamble regardless of what I do

I'd go Jordy, Tyreek, and Davante for sure. To me all three are on a little higher tier than your other guys. As for Gabriel, the talent is there but the targets haven't been so far, so I'm not sure his production is sustainable. If you really want to stash him, I think Jones or Wilson are fine to drop.

Is it overthinking things to consider starting Matt Ryan instead of Aaron Rodgers? I see that he's expected to play and I haven't read anything indicating they expect him to be limited aside from dealing with an injury all week, but part of me thinks it might be safer to go with Ryan.
