When you see Bills thump Dolphins, you'd assume Josh Allen had a strong fantasy night. 139 yds passing and 1 TD, woof...that one long bomb where dude was tackled on the 1 yard line stung.

I had a buddy of mine who asked me if he should take Kamara in the third round, I emphatically said no. So he passed, took LaPorta I think. 6 picks later in the 4th, I told him he could. It's a reach but he's likely off the board when you pick again and it's a dead zone for RB's.

Had I told him to pass on Kamara there he'd probably want to burn my house down today.

I have no idea who to start this week. ####
I will start
DJ Moore
B Aiyuk
J Taylor
J Connor

I need 1 WR and 1 Flex out of
Jameson Williams
Rasheed Shaheed
Tank Dell
Zamir White
Chuba Hubbard
Cam Akers (if Mixon is out)

You thoughts are appreciated. I am confident there's a win somewhere in this group, but my track record of picking correctly is no good.

I'd probably go Shaheed for the WR and Hubbard at RB.

Philly secondary is still suspect and the Saints line has been solid.

With Daulton behind center he might get Carolina moving the ball and teams are averaging over 6 yards a carry vs the Raiders thus far.

Traded Henry for Hockenson, Bowers, Ekeler. Not sure it was the right move but seemed like a lot of gain down the line

Higgins (CIN WR) against Commanders pass D (worst in the league)
OR
Z White (LV RB) against the Panthers D?

Trying to decide between these two for my flex spot.

Is it a PPR league? I'd probably go Higgins in any format, and especially in PPR.

Yep, PPR. I also like it’s a MNF game too. In case I’m down prior to the game.

I also have Robinson (since Kupp and Nacua are out), not sure if you think he’s a decent idea?

My stupid RBs screwed me out of two end of game TDs. First Harris and then Singletary. Garbage.

I do swear my answer to that was no...Atwell is likely to get the better targets.

Anyone who played a team who started Juwuan Jennings today...the fantasy gods hate you.

Anyone who picked up Jennings on waivers but didn't start him (me), the fantasy gods also hate you

I would guess that his start rate was under 20%. So you likely hate yourself as do a lot of others today. But it's understandable if you didn’t start him. It's the team battered with injuries who rolled out him and Andy Daulton that seemed crazy yet looks brilliant today.

Classic fantasy football season for me. Come out of the draft with the best roster by far, dominate the first 3 weeks, and then get my #### absolutely wrecked by injuries.

I'm now down Brown, Waddle (putting him on here because of what happened to Tua), Taylor, Richardson, and Rashee Rice.

I need to start 3 of these 4 receivers:

Olave (v TB)
London (v CAR)
Reed (v ARI)
Higgins (v NYG)

My line of thinking so far… Higgins in a PPR makes the most sense, has 30 targets in 3 games, 24 in the last 2. Easy yes for me. London against Carolina is also a no brainer given the season Carolina has had. I think it boils down to Olave or Reed on the flex. I guess it depends who you think is likely to shut down the passing game better, AZ or TB? TB’s defense was decent until the atrocious TNF that just occurred. Would that happen again with NO?

PPR league.

Also need help choosing between Kyler (v GB) or Fields (v LV), this one seems like an easy choice choosing Fields but I’d like to hear second opinions too.

Here's my caution against Fields. The Raiders have a tendency to come back after losses and focus in the next game under Pierce. They can't handle success...but they respond to failure. Pittsburgh just lost a tough late game and play on Sunday night again next week. This game will mean more to the Raiders. I expect the Raiders to show up and play hard on defence. Pittsburgh doesn't vary as much week to week as most teams do. But this is a low spot and I think they'll need to fight for like a 12-10 win.

Arizona too is in a flat spot having just beat the 49'ers. But I think Murray still has a decent floor plus upside. I wouldn't get cute this week. Play Murray.

^ I'd go Olave. He had a brutal game and is expect bounce back. Unless Carr is hurt. If he's hurt, definitely Reed

Scratch that. Reed all the way
