Fantasy Football Discussion/Advice

[PinaMadness]

I feel like my whole lineup this week is a toss up.

 

My RB's are Gibson, Bernard, Henderson, and Justin Jackson. I'm leaning toward Jackson and Bernard. Jackson should hopefully be the feature back against a very beatable defense and Bernard should be getting all the snaps that Mixon was getting plus the ones he was already taking from him. On the other hand, Henderson has shown he can blow up and everything I'm reading says that Gibson should roll through the Cowboys even though he hasn't done that at all this year and essentially in a 50/50 split with McKissic.

 

My WR's are Crowder, AJ Brown, Evans, Higgins, and Diontae Johnson. Probably going with Crowder and Brown and they should have the highest floors. Evans has been all over the place and his season point total only looks good because of all the TD's. Brady seems to be locking onto Gronk and Goodwin and forgetting about him. Higgins is starting to look like he might be the new man for Cincy but hard to trust Burrows. Johnson and the cadre of Steelers WR's are a total guess at this point. I've got Justin Herbert or Teddy Bridgewater as my superflex because I generally go with the safe floor but might put Higgins there.

Crowder listed as doubtful, which basically means out.

I would probably agree on your RB choices. And if Crowder is out, I'd go Brown & Higgins.

Crowder was questionable at the time and I didn't think there was a chance of him not playing but, well, Higgins it is. Of course, this will be the week Evans goes all 2019 and puts up a 10/15/2 line or something.

 

My heart and brain are both telling me the obvious choices are Jackson and Bernard. But all the places I go for fantasy info are telling me that Gibson is going to be huge against Dallas. Not that I put any stock into such things, but both Yahoo and ESPN are projecting big points for him. I can somewhat see their line of thinking but he has just not been getting the volume all year for that to happen.

[docduany]

My go to site has Gibson @ 16.

Jackson @ 20

Gio @ 36

That's pretty significant with Gibson & Gio. I lean towards your choices. But the experts are able to think more clearly than we do usually. I'd probably trust my gut, but be prepared to be angry with my gut later.

I traded DeAndre Swift a few days ago and I'm already having sellers remorse.

[adambr2]

Nevermind what I said last week about the Cowboys still having a good offense. Dalton sucks.

I despise the 49ers offense for fantasy. Last year, can't dial in on any one RB. Now I plug McKinnon in with Mostert on IR so of course they're going to lean on Justin Wilson.

[adambr2]

If Justin Herbert is still available in your league you need to go get him yesterday.

[young guns]

I had a 78 point game going into the night game. I'm now up .14 thanks to murry and Lockett.

I traded DeAndre Swift a few days ago and I'm already having sellers remorse.

picked him up hours before his 25 point game last week and had another solid game yesterday. I think, if the Lions are smart, they will continue to make him the lead ball carrier and move away from AP.

 

I have Mixon and Drake, whom are hurt so getting a decent RB1 on the WW is very helpful.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I had a 47.5 point lead going into last night's game in one of my leagues, and was feeling pretty confident, as my opponent only had three players left to play. Unfortunately one of those players was Tyler Lockett. Now I need to hope that Allen Robinson and Jimmy Graham are held under 9.5 points combined tonight. Not looking good for me unless the Bears offense completely implodes. Hopefully Ramsey locks up Robinson, and Graham has one of his vintage 4-catch, 27 yard performances. Go Rams!

ODB out for the year, a week ago I thought I had some really good depth, but that is being tested.

[homer]

Everyone should pick up Chase Edmonds.

[adambr2]

Everyone should pick up Chase Edmonds.

 

He's available in leagues? Edmonds had standalone value even before Drake got hurt.

He's rostered in 55% of leagues on ESPN.

63% on Yahoo. There must be a lot of 8-team leagues out there.

Lockett was a lot of people's nightmare last night. But also a lot of people's dream girl. Unfortunately he was the former for me.

[PinaMadness]

You want to talk bad luck? I'm 2-5 and am far and away leading the league in points against while being third in points for. All but one of my losses have been to the top point getter of the week, which was also the case two years ago when I was 8-8. My opponent this week had Adams. Talk about bittersweet. He also had Kyler Murray and DJ Moore. 107 points just from those three.

[PinaMadness]

The Cowboys have fallen so far that someone in my league dropped CeeDee Lamb.

[patrickgpe]

This week I am down ODB, Drake and probably Mixon. I have enough depth to overcome and put out a serviceable lineup

 

able to start Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, and AJ Brown at WR and David Montgomery and Swift at RB.

 

to replace them I did pick up Emmanual Sanders for depth once he is back from COVID and JaMycal Hasty. Really not much depth at all on the WW. I wanted to get Fulgram but lost out. I think I am still OK but any more injuries there is trouble.

 

Also was able to get Justin Tucker, who was a bye week cut to replace Prater, who has been OK. but you got to do it.

[PinaMadness]

Someone dropped Fournette on my league's waiver wire and I'm all over that. I need running back help as I am so done with Patriots and 49ers running backs. I almost put in a request for Montgomery but instead hoped he would clear waivers and didn't.

I also lost Drake but I have Edmonds. From a fantasy perspective, I wish Drake would be out longer. I think Edmonds would probably be a top 10 if not top 5 back in PPR if he had starter volume.

Unless you're in an 8 man league, that's silly that someone dropped Fournette but many leagues have guys like that. I scooped up Diggs after he got dropped a month into the 2019 season.

picking up drake last year really helped me win the championship. He had huge weeks in the FF playoffs last year, so i took him in the second round over guys like Ekler and Jones. Probably a mistake, despite Ekler's injury. Edmonds was scooped up pretty quick this year in my league, but you are right, Drake is handcuffing him. He may loose the work outright though being out making Drake almost useless to keep.
