RB
-Mark Ingram @ARI
or
-Todd Gurley @SEA

Flex:
- Whoever I didn't pick at RB above
- Tyler Eifert vs. PIT
- Jordan Reed vs. CAR
- Alshon Jeffrey vs GB


I am thinking Ingram/Reed(if healthy), Ingram/Jeffrey if not?

First round of the playoffs and I am playing the team with mist points scored. Help me on my path to $1000. 1 PPR.

Start 1
Luck @ Min
Carr @ SD

I think Carr has the better matchup by far, but his floor is lower by far than Lucks. Even a bad Luck game seems to get you 200 yards and a TD. Also, I am playing the TY Hilton owner.

Start 3
Stefon Diggs @ IND
Sammy Watkins @ CLE
DeVante Parker @ NYJ

Jordan Matthews @ BAL
Allen Robinson @ HOU

Big thing for me is his lineup is going to be...

Matt Ryan @ SF
Jordan Howard @ GB
Ezekiel Elliot @ TB
TY Hilton @ MIN
Jamison Crowder @ CAR
R. Cobb @ CHI
J. Reed @ WAS

Outside of Cobb, his roster has been crushing it. How would you do this, goons?

I would grudgingly go Gurley at RB. Are there no other options?

The Flex, Reed for sure if healthy. Carolina is giving up 5 catches for 60 yards and a TD in average to the tight end position this season.

Green Bay has improved slightly on their pass defense this season. And as a Bears fan, I find it hard to trust that offense. I still pick Jeffrey over Eifert, but I think Eifert has the higher floor.

Pretty set on this given Stafford's finger

Pick 1:

Do I sit Fat Rob for any of these guys? Kinda set on Rawls against LA but I can see any of those guys starting over Kelley, especially because he doesn't really catch the ball very well.

I think your three receivers are correct out of that lineup (Don't trust Robinson 'cause Bortles gonna Bort). I would probably still say that Luck is the safer bet out of those two QBs and you're not in a position to be risky. OAK v. SD could be a shootout though, so grain of salt if you believe that narrative.

See, I am wondering if I am in the position to play it safe. Receivers, he has the edge. TY and Crowder are producing significantly better than my guys. QB is a wash. But at RB, Howard and Elliot are way better than my Hyde/Miller. (Except for last week)

Also, does Matt Moore hurt Parker's value? That one worries me.

Jamison Crowder vs Car

Alshon Jeffrey vs GB
Michael Crabtree @ SD
Golden Tate @ NYG
Brandin Cooks @ Ari

Pick 1 Flex:

Leftovers from above
Spencer Ware vs Ten
Mark Ingram @ Ari


Also Cooks and Ingram are the first guys I should be dropping for waiver pickups at this point, right? I may need a TE to fill in for Reed, although I think anybody available now is not gonna be much better than a 10% Reed.

I'd take Murray since once they're ahead I'm sure he'll get plenty of work but Kelley will probably have a nice day too. I wouldn't trust Rawls with playoffs on the line and those options, personally.

I think Rawls is the play here. If you just want a safe floor then go with Latavius, but man...the Rams. It is the Thursday game though if you have hold ups about that. By the way the Raiders play the Chargers not the Browns

QB - Ryan

K - Hopkins

Bench - Vikings D/ST, Booker, Cooks, Edelman, Dion Lewis, Crowder, Kenneth Dixon.

Ben @Buf
Carr @SD

Carr put up 27 points against SD earlier this year.

My brain says Ben but my gut says Carr, but I also kinda want to start Ben just because I'm playing AB84 and if he balls out at least I'll get the other end of his points. And if he doesn't ball out, then it won't matter as much if Ben puts up bad points.

But I do kinda think Carr will have a better week.

Trade Eifert.

e: and by that I mean that if you really have two starter caliber TEs, since TE is such a shallow position it means there are teams out there with dogshit at TE, you should be able to trade your second TE plus a RB/WR in order to upgrade at either of those position.

I still don't think I'd start Eifert though. I know he just balled out but that was catching 100% of his 5 targets I think. Cooks is streaky but he usually gets near double the targets. And I know the matchup sucks but Denver is probably gon get beat (and I say that as a huge Denver homer/former colorado resident) and since Gronk went out Edelman has gotten like 15 targets per game.

All three should get points but I narrowly prefer Houston this week, they've got the most to play for.

If you're dropping one, I would dump the Bengals. They look to be the least useful ROS (v. PIT, @ HOU, v. BAL).

You could make a case for MIA, the Jets are terrible and seem to have given up, but I'm not sure how the Dolphins will be with Moore starting for Tannehill.

Doug Martin @ DAL
Matt Bryant v SF
