I’m sitting Goff this week because I think they’re going to do James Cook pt 2 between Monty and Gibbs

Chill, whale, chill
Im really struggling with having to start Flacco. We have really short benches and all these assholes in my league have like 2-3 QBs each. Its a single QB League!

Also he plays tonight so my schedule is pushed up

Ahhh my last sit/start post of the year. Feels good.

Flacco v NYJ
Stroud v Ten
Goff @ DAL

Leaning either Flacco or Stroud, since I think Detroit is going to run a lot and Micah parsons exists

LV @ IND
IND v LV
CHI v ATL
LAR @ NYG

This one is tough since LV looks so good but ATL will have to run the ball against a good Chicago rush defense. The colts hosed me last week against ATL but I figure I should double check my gut before dropping them

Monty v DAL
Jacobs @ IND

Monty hasn’t been getting as much use, I think someone here or maybe reddit said it feels like they let him get his 60y and maybe a td and then it’s the Jahmyr Gibbs show. otoh, given that Buffalo just showed what a good RB does to the cowboys, could be a good pick. Jacobs is off injury and I’m worried White will get more work instead of Jacobs getting it all like in the past.

Nico v Ten
Flowers v MIA
Monty @ DAL
Jacobs @ IND

Leaning Nico to double dip off Stroud if I go with him, but I have concerns about the brain scrambling and the general injuries we’ve seen. Flowers is inconsistent and I only started him because Jacobs didn’t get marked as out until late. I probably should wait until the shadow report is out before I solidify any of these choices

Btw, according to the shadow report, Nico is going to likely have a great game, especially if Stroud is back

Gonna go
Stroud, Goff if not back (if tonight isn’t a planetary re-entry for Flacco then they’re winning the Super Bowl)

JJ
Puka

Kamara
Jacobs if healthy, Monty if not

Nico

LV

Def sit start (special scoring: .5 point for 3 n outs, 1.5 pt for 4th down stops)

LV @Ind
Cle v NYJ

I'm currently leaning Vegas because the last few weeks their defense has been amazing scoring wise (13, 29, 25.5 respectively) but Cleveland has a good matchup and has been steady most the season, rams were their worst performance at .5 but nothing else has been lower than 7 pts.

That's rough. My gut says Tua but I haven't been paying attention to the Dolphins and I guess he's cooled off quite a bit. Philly's secondary is baby soft (:sigh:) and you gotta think this could be a get right game for Kyler. Just pay attention to the injury report since they're both Qs.

Speaking of QBs, I need to start one of

Goff@DAL (gently caress the Cowboys)
Tyrod vs. LAR

Every time I bench Goff he goes off and my replacement QB sucks. On the other hand, Dallas D is scary and Tyrod is the only other real live NFL QB option available unless I want weird backup rookie garbage or *shudder* 2023 Derek Carr.

I’m also struggling between Goff, Flacco, or Carr lol. This is… not the place I wanted to be. I think I am still rolling with Goff but I agree it feels awful and he could EASILY have like a 2 point game. But so could any of these idiots and at least the Lions are good?

Goff at least has the best o-line in football to keep him safe, and Ragnow will be in barring a tragic practice injury. My bigger concern is they’re going to run run run run run and he’ll have like 10 passes to ARSB, LaPorta, or Gibbs

Flacco has massive upside and hasn’t thrown less than what, 300y since becoming the starter? I wish we had one more week to see if the hype is real and see how he does against the Jets before feeling comfortable putting him in

I have the additional monkey paw of Stroud and it’s just made the decision annoying.

I'm comin' for you, colonel.



Champ game ppr, got a gaggle of middle RBs to choose from:

Pick 2:

Monty vs. DAL
Zeke vs. BUF
Achane vs. BAL
Z. White vs IND (Assuming Jacobs stays out)
J. Ford vs NYJ

I'm thinking Monty and Zeke. Big question mark I have is Z. White. If Jacobs doesn't start he's probably gonna have the backfield to himself against a terrible run D, he's performed well the last 2 weeks, and I'd really strongly consider starting him over either Monty or Zeke.

Don't like Achane or Ford but listing them as options. Ford is meh, NYJ gives up a lot of points to RBs but Ford is just mediocre every week. Achane is too risky, esp vs. BAL.

Maybe Josh Jacobs gets healthy and just makes it an easy decision.

e: Also for context - me and my opponent are about even in points projections. 131 vs 131 with Zeke and Monty in (the quality of players I have outside of RB is much better), but he has CMC and Tyreek, and CMC is vs. WAS so I feel like I'm behind and probably need a couple guys to go off.

I too am a Monty + Jacobs owner, and I think even if Jacobs comes back he isn’t going to have the workload. JJ was out for like 6 or 8 weeks with a quad injury, and his job doesn’t involve blasting through walls of 300lb dudes.

I have Monty slotted in expecting a lot of running between him and Gibbs, and if Jacobs manages to be in the game + do better than Monty then great, but all the rankings I’ve seen so far have Monty ranked higher (#20) than Jacobs (#23) anyways

I don't have Jacobs though - I have Z. White who's been starting in his place. So I'm wondering mainly if I should start him (assuming Jacobs is still out, which looks like he will be) over Monty or Zeke.

Reading is hard :saddowns:

I’d start him over Zeke, looks like he has a Q tag and Buffalo is a tough opponent. Don’t start White if Jacobs is in, imo

E: the q tag is because he’s sick apparently

Championship match, need to decide...

Fields vs ATL
Love vs MIN
Stafford vs NYG (waiver wire)

Pick one, leaning Fields

1 PPR, WRs, pick 3 of 4...

Olave vs TB
Aiyuk vs WAS (probably the lock)
Rice vs CIN
Higgins vs KC

I'm thinking of playing Higgins over Rice, then for my FLEX...

Rice vs CIN
Osborn vs GB
Zamir White vs IND (leaning if Jacobs is out again)

I also have Brian Robinson on my bench but he's going against SF so i figure he's a safe drop. Also have Noah Brown who is questionable against against TEN.

Has mostert's punching above his weight all season been enough to value him over henry this late?


e: with amari cooper out i dropped him and taysom hill, picked up evan engram since they're playing a lame duck Carolina team, might run engram over ferguson with dallas facing a tough detroit D.

Pollard has been disappointing all season, Pickens is coming off a huge game, Thielen has his first big game in a while last week, OBJ has been quiet but the Ravens might have to score more to keep up with the Dolphins, KJ could have a big game with no Hock and possibly no Addison, but also he has Jaren Hall throwing to him.
