I picked up the CLE defense yesterday over Chicago based on who they have left.
After tonight, should I still play CLE versus the Giants?

- Chicago (@ MIN, @ JAX)
- Cleveland (@NYG, @ NYJ)

the Browns did not inspire any confidence on Monday night.

is the NE defense on the waiver wire? Maybe Arizona vs. Hurts' first road start

I use FantasyPros quite a bit to give me a good idea on matchups.
They have CLE 5th, CHI 11th, AZ 20th

Playing against McCaffrey...hoping they sit him out one more week!

I've got my lineup pretty set for the most part except for WR2 and Flex.

QB: Allen
RB1: Aaron Jones
RB2: D'Andre Swift
WR1: Tyreek Hill
WR2: Dionte Johnson/Robby Anderson/McLaurin
TE: Hockenson
Flex: Kareem Hunt/D. Johnson/Anderson/McLaurin

Right now I'm leaning D. Johnson for WR2 and Kareem Hunt for Flex. I think Johnson is gonna bounce back strong after his benching last week. I know I'm not starting McLaurin even vs Seattle. So it's really Anderson vs Hunt. Hunt vs Giants or Anderson vs GB. I also have Conner and Golladay but no one is starting them.

Brady vs Atlanta
or
Goff vs the Jets

I've got Colts this week vs HOU, and if I make the championship, CLE vs Jets. CLE is a hold in my book for that Jets matchup.

I think PHI is playing inspired right now with Hurts. I'm actually worried about starting Murray against them this week because he's fallen off so much and the PHI D is no joke.

Same on Johnson. Even with the yips, that Bengals* matchup is too juicy to ignore.

definitely start Hunt --- after last night...he's almost the #1 WR in Cleveland

and yes, despite the Steelers passing struggles of the late...the Bengals are terrible.

that was a blow-up game for both Big Ben and Diontae a month ago.

I'm starting Big Ben over Watson in one semi-final.

question about the other...Big Ben or Herbert?

Herbert has looked mortal the past 3 weeks

digging into the minutia...any Lutz owners looking elsewhere this week?

the Saints are too efficient in the redzone with Taysom.

Bass and Sanders are on the waiver wire

With Gibson possibly out, I don't really have a strong RB2.
Here are my options (PPR):

- Gus Edwards vs JAX
- DeAndre Washington vs NE
- Duke Johnson @ IND
- David Johnson @ IND
- JD McKissic vs SEA
- Gibson vs SEA (Not sure if playing)
- Jeff Wilson @ DAL
- Jamaal Williams vs CAR

Mostert tweaked his ankle. If he's unable to go, Jeff Wilson would be a pretty solid option.

nice observation...thanks! I picked him up and will watch Mostert status.

@ Flex: Dobbins vs Jax, or Akers vs Jets

@ WR/TE Flex: Diontae vs Cincy, or Cooper vs SF

CEH or Zeke? PPR

Just when I think CMC will be available, he's now doubtful. What a waste of a pick and roster spot all year. Was hoping he'd come in just in time for the playoffs.

Pick 2
Clyde Edwards-Helaire vs NO
Drake vs Philly
Carson vs Wash

Full PPR with 40 yd play bonuses and 100 yd total bonuses.
Carson is probably a lock. so it's down to CEH and Drake(Already starting Ekeler as well).

Have Ridley and Marvin Jones at WR. No other WR options besides waiver(best available are Higgins,Lazard, Pittman, Renfrow.

it's really tough to trust CEH.

he's only had 1 big game in the last 6 weeks.

has a decent floor, but the ceiling is low.

Drake has scored 5 TD's in his last 4 games

one positive...with Raiders-Chargers on Thursday...and 2 games on Saturday (including the Packers)...

everyone will get a better than normal assessment of their matchup going into the Sunday games

Good heads up here. Just put my waiver in. Fournette is another potential plug and play with Jones getting surgery. I prefer Wilson though.

I've heard that Matthew Stafford might be out this week. If so, titans defense could be a good play.

yes, i'm looking at Lutz replacements... saints just don't kick FGs anymore apparently.

I'm intrigued by Lynn Bowden Jr. ...still available. classified as a WR and RB.. could be a good RB2 play in PPR league and Parker could be out again.. also Jeff Wilson is still available.

I'd have to drop two players to add one of them though: 1 to get Golladay out of the IR spot so I can make a roster move, and another one to add a new player.

Maybe Damien Harris and either Coutee or Golladay.. I am doubting that Golladay will play this season, though I'd hate to drop him now and end up facing him in semi-final or championship.

TE: Engram or Logan Thomas?
Flex: Landry or Jeff Wilson Jr? Think this one depends on whether Mostert plays this week.

FWIW I have the same decision at TE. Going with Thomas this week because I trust Alex Smith more than Curt McHurt.

I'm also rolling out Wilson if Mostert is out over Gibson and Gordon who are both banged up.

So I was able to snag TY Hilton and Jeff Wilson Jr and now my sit/start is complicated.

Need RB2, WR2, and Flex out of:

RB's
D'Andre Swift vs Tenn
Kareem Hunt vs NYG
Jeff Wilson vs Dal

WR's
TY Hilton vs HOU
Dionte Johnson vs CIN
Robby Anderson vs GB
Terry McLaurin vs SEA

Right now I'm leaning RB2 (Swift), WR2 (TY HIlton), and Flex (Dionte Johnson)

with T.Y. on the roster, your team has the luxury to eliminate the risk associated with Diontae and his drops.

I would go with Swift and T.Y...and probably play it safe with Kareem.

good thing is that the Browns are the Sunday night game and the Steelers are the Monday night game. Matchup might be decided by then

regarding Jeff Wilson...I picked him up in one league.

however there was a game earlier this year...when Mostert was out...and Wilson was supposed to get all the carries...and Shanahan sat him on the bench for most of the game. Didn't like that

Thanks W....

my opponent has Ronald Jones who is now out, so I just also picked up Fournette to block them. I dropped a backup defense. Don't normally carry two defenses but it was the Saints and the Rams. I doubt I will start Fournette over Hunt or Dionte, but atleast they cant start him against me.

Julio is trending to be our again this week, so need some help on roster:

PPR: (Pick 2 RBs and a FLEX)
- CEH @ NO
- Hines vs HOU (Taylor has been doing well lately)
- Crowder @ LAR (Tough defense)
- Gordon III vs BUF (Tough defense)
- McKissic (Gibson may be out)
- Antonio Brown @ ATL
- Wilson Jr @ DAL (Mostert may be out)

There was also another game where he went for 100+ and 3 TDs... McKinnon, Coleman, and Hasty were getting a lot more work earlier in the season. They haven't been touching the ball at all the past few games. While Mostert and Wilson were at about a 60/40 split last week.

That being said, it has been really hard to figure out what shanahan is going to do week to week with so many injuries and guys rotating in and out.

Keenan Allen is Questionable with a hamstring. I'm thinking about sitting him since he plays Thursday. My plan is to start Aiyuk vs Dallas. My other option would be M. Thomas but the KC defense scares me a little.
Thoughts?

I like aiyuk

Pick 2 (half PPR): Tim Patrick, Tee Higgins, Nelson Agholor

Pick 3 (half PPR): AJ Brown, Robert Woods, Allen Robinson, Justin Jefferson

Pick 2 (half PPR): James Robinson, Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery

Pick 2 (half PPR): Thielen, Cooper, Lockett

TIA

Came here for this reason. What do we do about Allen? Even if he goes, will he get a full load?
