Maclin coming back makes things tricky for me.

Pick a flex in PPR

Tyreek Hill vs OAK
Jeremy Maclin vs OAK
Willie Snead @ TB
Tyler Boyd @ CLE

Would have definitely started Hill if Maclin was out. Still considering it because Maclin could be limited and I expect a high scoring game. Boyd is tempting but I'm also already starting Eifert.

Pick a flex in standard:

Ajayi vs. AZ
Ingram @ TB
Jordan Matthews vs. Wash
Diggs @ Jax

This is probably a choice between Ajayi and Ingram since it's standard, Diggs will be covered by Jalen Ramsey, and the idea of starting a coming off injury Matthews in a playoff game is very scary.

Can't start Snead on the road in PPR, can't use Maclin, and Boyd is too much of a wild card.

Thanks, I think I agree.

Yours is difficult and none of them feel right. I guess Ajayi based on volume alone would be my choice.

Delanie Walker over Brate right? 1PPR

Feels real close.


Edit: I'm going to start Walker. He's the only real passing threat, and although Bucc's suffered some injuries last week at WR potentially opening up plays for Brate, I'd rather lose with Walker in my lineup than Brate starting and Walker going off on my bench.

I think you go with Luck here. The matchup is tempting but Luck's at home, playing underneath that AFC Finalist banner. He knows whats at stake in this game.

Todd Gurley vs ATL

Also for 4 pt passing TDs

0.5 ppr., filling two flex spots. Playoffs, baby!

Currently starting:
DeSean Jackson @ Phi
Doug Martin vs NO

Considering swapping out one or both for:
Sammy Watkins vs Pitt
Adam Thielen @ Jax

I also have Jamison Crowder @ Phi and Kenny Britt vs ATL starting at WR, but they've been so consistent that I think I should keep them in. Martin I worry about losing snaps with the crowded backfield. I think Watkins is superior to Jackson as a home run threat when healthy, but I don't know if he's worked back into the lineup enough to be better right now. Anybody think I should make either sub?

Good morning!
Cam and Kaep look done this season. If you start Cam you're basically relying on Ted Ginn. I know SD's defense isn't great but that team might be totally checked out. Boywunda I'd stick with Carr.

Sataere, Luck vs Hou is interesting, but I think Carr is still better. It's going to be cold though, so that could throw it. I'd go with one of those two, but certainly not Kaepernick. Indy is just so bad though, last week notwithstanding, and KC may be due for one of those peak Andy Reid games.

The cold weather has me worried, but I think you might be right. Hopefully the Carr to Crabtree (I have both) combo will take me over the top.

This one feels like a coin toss tbh. I'm leaning Gabriel simply due to the opportunity from the injuries (julio banged up and sanu out). It's risky either way though. I would say tyreek has a higher floor, but we're talking like 5 pts compared to 2 pts or something and Gabriel has the upside this week.

Yeah they're both definitely boom/bust options; just trying to maximize my chances of a boom. I'm starting to worry about Hill (only played 50% of the snaps last week and now Maclin is back), plus it's Thursday and it's going to be freezing.

I'd go with your gut and stick it out with Smith. You at least can ballpark what you're going to get from him, somewhere in the teens. Mariota has been awesome but...Denver's D is a scary playoff matchup.

Play Flacco. New England's defense is Not Good, and the Ravens usually play well against them.

E. Also for the people farther up Ladarius Green has been looking really dangerous, and if you have Rawls as an option you should probably play him. He's good, healthy, and will get a ton of touches in the cold Sunday.

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
They're not really "very good" in the most general sense. They are in the bottom half of the NFL in yards allowed and middle of the road at point allowed, although they force turnovers at a higher clip than most units in the league. I dunno, I'm trying to avoid over thinking things in the playoffs but maybe Im swinging too far in the other direction.
