Leaning Dillon for sure one with Jones out, it’s McLaurin/Mostert I’m flipping back and forth on.

I'm in a similar boat I need to start 2 in a PPR league

Mclaurin - okay matchup not the best QB
G.Wilson - Waiting to see what new QB can do
Doubs - No Watson so he'll get targets but might get focused
Z.Jones - good matchup
J.Williams - not the best offense but will put up consistent numbers

Also Njoku or Hunter Henry...

Probably going with
Mclaurin
Jones
Henry

Currently have listed to start Aiyuk, Adams, Flowers, Chubb and Montgomery. These are players I am considering in flex in a standard scoring league. You thoughts would be appreciated

Damian Pierce
Chris Godwin
Romeo Doubs
Puka Nacua

I'd be happy to be convinced that Flowers and Montgomery shouldn't be penciled in already. I think I have a very average team with a really good bench. Which isn't ideal

Weitz · 09-16-2023, 11:49 PM

Not sure I’d replace any of them with any of those 4. Real low floors.

EldrickOnIce · 09-17-2023, 12:06 AM

I have to play one in Flex. I'm leaning toward Pierce

Nacua should be a starter if you feel like he can pop again with Kupp still out. As a BYU fan he makes plays happen.

But your starting lineup looks solid already

Gibbs and Walker for sure.

Than it's scoring format dependent. Pacheco really does not get ant passing game usage and the Chiefs are not a very good running team in short yardage. They're more likely to play MacKinnon or CEH and try a pass down there. So it limits Pacheco to like 12 touches a game max with low TD upside. Whereas Harris can still get some work in the pass game.

Of those 4 I think Pacheco is a distant 4th as his ADP should have been between 80-95 and those other guys were within the top 50 or higher depending on format.

Being a Chicago guy I would have thought you to like Godwins upside vs a young secondary that struggled against Green Bays B group of receivers last week. Baker is Bakrr but that duo of vets could exploit that group.

Doubs is still TD dependent and limited in terms of snap count in a game that might have 85 total plays run by both teams combined.

Pierce it's tough to say as he'll get volume, but the Colts D-Line is the strength of their team and their game plan should center on making CJ Stroud and that pass game beat them.

If Nacua is healthy he will see targets. But I don't feel good starting anyone against the 49'ers defence.

I think Godwin offers you the most upside, and Pierce is the safer ceiling.

Watson is out again against the Falcons, so Dobbs will likely see a lot of targets.

So Aaron Jones is out as is Bahktiari their LG.

Pack are gonna be hard pressed to do much of anything on offense.

For once I'm the guy who wins the shootout. 155.8 to 154.8 because Olave missed the TD by inches. Two weeks in and my team and my opponenthave put up the two highest scores each week.

I had a high scoring game too. 134.6 - 111.84. And that was even with me not putting in Mostert or McLaurin over Zay Jones and Dillon. Just dumb substitutions on my end, but K Allen, J Allen, and Hockenson really pulled through for me. Happy with Pollard too.

ForeverFlameFan · 09-19-2023, 05:46 AM

With Chubb out, if you’re higher up in the waiver order I would say Jerome Ford is going to be a good pickup.

Slava · 09-19-2023, 06:28 AM

Thoughts on trading for Akers? Obviously, it's a risk. He's gotta be traded though, and if he is, he's a good RB? I'm in pretty dire need. I have White (TB), and now Jerome Ford. After that it's not good!

Well with Chubb’s season-ending injury, I would just ride White and Ford

Yeah that's what I would do. I'd expect Akers to end up on waivers here pretty soon. Maybe keep an eye on Kareem Hunt possibly getting signed by Cleveland.

Knut · 09-19-2023, 09:42 AM

Now i have Kupp, Barkley and maybe Waddle out next week.

MillerTime GFG · 09-19-2023, 10:49 AM

Week one:
- I'm up by one point heading into the Monday nighter, with Josh Allen still to play. Opponent has only Tyler Bass (buffalo kicker)

Week two:
- I'm up by 7 points heading into the Monday nighter(s), with Nick Chubb and Miles Sanders still to play. Opponent has only Pittsburgh defense.

I am 0-2. How. Is. That. POSSIBLE?!?

ForeverFlameFan · 09-19-2023, 09:31 PM

Should I pick up Ford (CLE RB) or Collins (HOU WR)? I have a high WW slot because I haven’t used it yet.

Sounds like a pretty normal Fantasy Football weekend to me...

Am I making a mistake in putting Josh Jacobs on the bench this week and instead playing two Detroit WRs?

WR: Amon-ra St Brown
WR: George Pickens
RB: Isiah Pacheco
RB: Kyren Williams
Flex: Gabe Davis
Flex: Josh Reynolds
Bench: Josh Jacobs

Yes. Jacob's should play in front of Davis, Pacheco, or Reynolds.
