Might check that there's no stat corrections at game time and bench his ass...

I’d personally play him because of the rule “never bench your stars in the playoffs”

But I guess you might be safer not playing him haha

I have a similar issue in that due to injury I have no WR depth and I'm in a PPR league. I have Pittman (horrible offence) Waddle, and Amon Ra St.Brown and no viable backups. The Jets are a brutal matchup as Sauce has already established himself as elite, and I don't know if I can trust Tua throwing in the cold to Waddle who's disappeared the past two weeks...especially since Tyreek will cry if he doesn't get 10 targets a game.

I’d start waddle every week. The upside is too high

Ended up being okay even with Aiyuks dud. Put up 110 in .5 ppr and my opponent lost Kupp and Breece so he snuck into the playoffs from his early season record.

Not sure I will start aiyuk over diontae or dj moore next week, if Trubisky plays I feel like I go Diontae and if not probably just stick with Aiyuk, gonna be a tough decision though

It’s PPR, and now I have to get a little over 25 points to win. So, I’m thinking Lazard too. Hopefully gets a 1/2 of TDs and 100 yards. Slight chance though.

In 1 point PPR Lazard is your best chance to close that gap. 7 catches for 120 and a TD is what you need. Akers would need multiple TD's and the Rams projected team total is like 16 points.

So I'm tripling down on an unfortunate situation for my semi-final opponent. He has Hurts at QB with no backup, and has used up all of his FAAB. I am using all 3 waiver pickups this week on 'top' available QB's, with $1 bid on each. Obviously he could still get a good QB performance, but I'm going to try to make it as difficult as possible, assuming Hurts doesn't play Saturday

Sylvanfan · 12-21-2022, 05:57 PM

I'm debating if I should roll with the Eagles DST this week in Dallas or go with Cleveland against the Saints in what projects to be a bad weather game with an over under of 31.5 points. Eagles have been good and Dak has been turnover prone of late.

EldrickOnIce · 12-21-2022, 06:50 PM

Cleveland weather looks brutal. 25+ mph winds and wind chill temps of - 25c

No clue if game script in Cowboys/Eagles with Hurts out plays a part, or even how.

I have similar dilemma, have Cowboys and Titans D. Not sure which is a better play. Probably Ten

Honestly though, unless you have lots of dome guys, it's going to be a brutal fantasy weekend

I saw that and took the Cleveland D off the wire. I feel like the offences will struggle in that?

The thing is that sacks and interceptions are how you rack up points. So if both teams run the ball all day in a 14-13 game and don't fumble...there isn't too many points to be had. The Saints haven't been turning the ball over that much, and Andy Daulton has played more bad weather games in Cleveland than Deshaun Watson has. So that's what gives me pause.

So then back to my example. By Texas standards it will be cold for the eagles/cowboys game, but temps around freezing and no wind is great football weather. So will Minshew have to be slinging the ball to keep up with Dallas, and be therefore subject to sacks/picks? Maybe
Compared to Titans/Houston where we might see 65 rushing attempts in the windy deep freeze.

Who knows. Game scripts may be everything this weekend

DoubleK · 12-23-2022, 09:29 AM

Who do you guys like for team defence this week?

I have Denver and Tampa on my roster, but that's what's left on the wire. Wanted Tennessee, but the dude I'm playing outbid me.

Dallas is an indoor stadium. So weather will have no impact on that game. But all these Saturday games could be tough as San Francisco is the one where it's not looking to be freezing. The cold itself is not as bad, but add wind to abnormal cold and throwing becomes tricky.

I have Brady and Rogers as backups to Fields. I'm almost tempted to go to Brady this week because Buffalo might stack 8 in the box all day on Fields. Even if he goes for 100 yards and a rushing TD...he might only get me 18 points because those 42 yards passing dont add up to much..... Whereas if Brady throws for 250 and two tuds...against a bad beaten up defence...that's 22 in my league.

But Fields turned my season around and was good last week against a tough D.

EldrickOnIce · 12-23-2022, 12:56 PM

Ahh gotcha. I guess it shows weather (and not dome) at nflweather because roof is retractable, and therefore could be outdoor. Thanks!

Sylvanfan · 12-24-2022, 02:42 PM

I played Fields today. Such failure....

DoubleK · 12-24-2022, 03:09 PM

I went with Denver D.

EldrickOnIce · 12-24-2022, 10:17 PM

I got destroyed in semi final.
At least it was a total team sucky effort lol

Dalton Schultz has 5 TD on the year. 4 of them have come when I play his owner in fantasy. Having Schultz put up 24 points against me is gonna be tough to battle back from. Hopefully a couple of his other guys dud.

DropIt · 01-01-2023, 09:59 AM

Burrow or Fields today?

Sylvanfan · 01-01-2023, 10:32 AM

Wow you couldn't trade either of them pre deadline? It's a coin flip, but Burrow is the better player on a better team with all his weapons healthy. He's better st real football than fantasy, but I'd probably pick him.

Bears see that top pick in site and with Herbert and Montgomery will probably run Fields less.
