If Davante Adams also ends up sitting out this week I’d consider going with Minnesota. He seems to be by far Hundley’s favorite pass target.

My question: I need to sit one of these guys, who should it be? 1 PPR league, week 1 of a 2 week finals.

J Jones @NO
T Hill vs Mia
R Woods @Ten
K Drake @KC

Am I crazy to even consider benching Julio?

Good point. Will keep that in mind about Davante.

And I don’t think you can go wrong - all those options are high-floor. It’s a tough choice for sure, but I would waffle between sitting Julio or Hill because I like the volume of Drake and Woods. I sat Evans last week (for Marquise Goodwin) and it didn’t affect my winning: that’s the kind of flex position you want to be in.

I would lean Foles, though apparently there is a chance he would not play a full game if the packers win since they will have cinched the #1 seed? He plays on Monday, so there might not be anyone to replace him with if nothing is announced before Sunday morning.

Also, two questions for my BML finals matchup that I snuck into with a mediocre team:
DET @ CIN
KC vs MIA

KC is at home and are projected to be better, but it is hard to trust them after how bad they were the first 2/3rds of the year. Both teams have scored equal points with our scoring the last 2 weeks.

Pick 2 (standard scoring):
Perine vs DEN
Fitzgerald vs NYG
Gore vs BAL
Mixon vs DET
D Murray or Henry vs LAR

Leaning Fitz as one of the two, but not sure which under-performing RB to use. I thought Perine would solve my problems but he has not done much lately.

I don't think Flacco is a huge downgrade from Foles. But MIN is favored by 9 to win that game so Foles SHOULD play.

Currently going between either Bortles or Foles (Also have Keenum on my bench).

If Minnesota wins handedly, Foles gets the start, but if that game ends up becoming a spoiler (highly doubtful), Bortles is up.

Kizer or Stanton?

Foles is likely to play regardless of playoff status; they need him to get game reps.

Rams. Even though the Pats will win this game, I feel like McCoy is going to run all over that defense.

If the Vikings lose to GB, Philly is the #1 seed and the MNF game is meaningless. You could see a scenario where Foles only plays a half or something and they put in this third stringer.

But all that's moot if Minn hammers GB as expected.

As others have said, Philly will almost certainly play Foles most of the game just to get him reps so he can be ready for the playoffs.

How is that "almost certain?" They saw what happened to the Raiders at the end of last year. If Foles were to get hurt they'd be relying on a practice squad guy who has never played a down in the NFL. It's anyone's guess how much Foles would play if the game was meaningless. We have no information other than Doug Pederson's vague comments.

God I continue to have doubts.

Does anyone think Keelan Cole is worth starting over Gordon @ CHI, or Mike Wallace vs. IND? Cole has had three really good games in a row, and SF is not great on D, has me thinking about starting him over Gordon.

Yes, obviously we are both guessing, as neither of us is the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Common sense would say get the QB you need to rely on for the playoffs up to speed. That's all I'm saying. At some point you have to get over the fear of a player being injured.

No PPR

MacheteZombie
Feb 4, 2007

Hmm. If you had ppr I'd say Gordon for sure, but I'm not sure without ppr.

I'd definitely play him over Wallace, but probably a toss up between him and Gordon. Gordon does have 13 more targets over the last 3 weeks than Cole, so I'd say he's got a safer floor even in 0 ppr.

Jimmy G has been good but he's also faced Chicago, Houston, and Tennessee. Not exactly an imposing schedule.

Minnesota is a great play this weekend, but I'm confidently starting the Jags this week and can't imagine benching them if I owned them. They fuckin' rule.

Suave Fedora
Jun 10, 2004
I can’t post a counter-argument. I can only add that Garappolo has managed to turn no-name receivers into WR2/flex-worthy assets, where Hundley couldn’t do the same with Jordy and Cobb. And now he is down his one guy that he was target-locked on.

Maybe the better question is this: looking at the teams empirically as “bad offense vs good defense”, which of the two games presents the wider gulf?

In the championship match and have lost Rodgers and Legatron. Should I stay with Rudolph, who got me here, or swing for the fences with Olsen?

Seconding the Evans suggestion. I was torn between Diggs and Evans and I'm going with Evans. No DJax, no OJ Howard means more targets for Evans.

Got an interesting dilemma of terrible qbs in the Championship.

Superflex league, pick 2:
SF Jimmy Garoppolo vs JAX
IND Jacoby Brissett @ BAL
ARI Drew Stanton vs NYG

Obviously Garoppolo and Brissett are better qbs, but Jacksonville and Baltimore are the top 2 defenses in the league. Meanwhile, the Giants are ranked last but Stanton is Stanton. Help.

Comedy option: CJ Anderson or Samaje Perrine instead of a qb
