Flex in full PPR:

Keep Alan Lazard in there (against the terrible giants)

Or do I get cute in put in Rashaad Penny against the Saints? Leaning Lazard … think Pennys big day was a one and done.

Also - I'm a little irritated as I have the second most points scored but of course at in 5th place.

I think I'd give the slight edge to Lazard in PPR there.

I foolishly started Tua in two leagues last week. His 6 TDs and the Waddle / Hill weapons he has had me excited for ROS which is why I had picked him up (but didn't start him vs BUF) the previous week.. I saw him collapse vs BUF, but he had been cleared by doctors and I expected a shootout on Thursday v CIN... his whopping 3 pts on Thursday cost me a W in one of my leagues and he's already OUT for at least week 5... Is he worth keeping in my IR slot for a couple of weeks to see how he looks once recovered?

...and in one of my leagues, I need a QB replacement. Options are bad.

Trevor Lawrence vs HOU is who I have right now
Geno Smith @ NO
Jameis vs SEA
Russell Wilson vs IND (i already dropped him earlier this year- he has forgotten how to throw - but now lost Javonte - maybe he has to throw more)
Goff @ NE
Teddy B @ NYJ
Zack Wilson vs MIA

I picked up Yoohoo Koo as a K last week and still have Matt Gay on the bench - which should I ride with? Koo seems to be kicking better right now

With D. Swift down, I need to pick an RB from these two, 1 PPR:

A. Gibson (Was) vs Ten
R. Stevenson (NE) vs Det

I have started Gibson a few times this season, but he's losing reps every week (I do have B. Robinson stashed on IR once he comes back). Stevenson gets lots of work in the NE passing game, but not a lot of usage near the goal line.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Start anyone playing Detroit. Stevenson is the play this week, especially with Brian Robinson coming back.

Koo is K #1 through 4 weeks. He missed a few FGs this year already, but he will kick indoors for a lot of his schedule and his offense seems pretty inept at scoring TDs and good at settling for FGAs.
oh no

Tyler Higbee vs. DAL
David Njoku vs. LAC

Feels like a toss-up to me and leaning toward Higbee just so I have someone playing in the afternoon since my entire team is either playing at 8:30 or noon.

Thanks, I was leaning Stevenson as well.

I think either is a push, but I think I'd lean Njoku. The Dallas defense looks pretty salty especially with Trevon Diggs lurking around

Is anyone picking up Latavius Murray? He looked really good in London against the Vikings and who knows, maybe he takes more work on than MelGo since he has looked so bad.

ESPN currently has him projected to score 1.1 points, and it looks like he might not even play this week so he could potentially be an add that flies under the radar that you can get without using FAAB or waiver priority and then stash him in your IR if he is a no-go for TNF.

Hmmm, that is tough then. I like your top-2 RBs and don't really like what you have after Kirk in the WR room, but maybe Doubs pans out.

Jacobs' usage has been pretty nice, but outside of this week, he has been average to below average.

Kirk is seeing nine targets per game and is the clear top pass-catching option in Jacksonville. Outside of this week where there was rain and the Jags were facing a top defense, he has either had 100 yards or 70+ yards and a TD every week.

I think I would lean Kirk, but wouldn't fault you either way.

Brown is solid. Thielen is boom or bust but typically has a floor around 10 points.


Connor is the real let down. He and the cardinals are so inconsistent

Oh yeah, I like Brown too! When I said, "after Kirk" I was ranking AJB over him.

It has been unfortunate he got a bit banged up, but yeah that offense is weird. Gotta think KK is gone this year.
oh no

he's clearly trying to sell Jacobs high after last week's outburst. maybe that outburst is a sign of things to come that could work out well for you, but your wr2 and flex options kinda suck.. you'd be looking at Doubs and Connor as your most likely starters. I'm guessing the guy offering Jacobs has other good RBs options.

Can you package Kirk + one of your flex options not named Doubs for Jacobs and a decent WR?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
No, I don't think so.

Because my team sucks and aren't likely to make the playoffs....

I accepted the trade and then

Offered burrow for Diggs to the team who had Tua and no backup qb.

I've got Goff, who is doing pretty well.

Just mixing it up for funsies

Need an RB2 this week. Leaning Sanders but CBS is projecting Dobbins with more points so it's got me 2nd guessing. It's a non-ppr.

Sanders vs Arz
Dobbins vs Cincy

There is something to be said about Goff and that Detroit offense. He is currently QB5 in 4pt/Pass TD leagues and QB4 in 6pt /Pass TD leagues. Do note that he has a bye in Week 6.

That being said, Trevor and the Jags vs Houston seems like a great matchup. I expect Lawrence to continue to improve over last year.

Both solid plays, but I think I lean towards Miles Sanders.

I benched my #1 (8 overall) draft pick last week and it was the right decision. He got volume and looked fine in London with a brace on his shoulder, but no TDs and only 10 FF points.. Dalvin has a good run D matchup home vs CHI this weekend, so I assume I have to reinsert him in the lineup as RB1?

For RB2:

Najee Harris @ BUF --bad run D matchup, underperforming OL and had two rushing TD swiped by new qb kenny pickett last week.

Jamaal Williams @ NE - not a good run-D matchup on the road, but Swift is still out and the DET offense has been scoring

Khalil Herbert @ MIN- good run-D matchup, should get the volume again in Montgomery's absence in an offense that can't throw the ball, but this play didn't pay off in Montgomery's absence last week- no TDs. Shredded HOU when Monty went down, but didn't get the scoring @NYG last week.

Damien Harris vs DET - good run-D matchup, NE could be playing with qb2 Hoyer or qb3 and relying on the run and ball control vs DET. Still splits with Rhamondre though.

Hard not to play Jamaal if Swift is out. Guy gets great looks in the redzone and the patriots are better at pass defense then run defense.
Patriots rank 5th to last in YPC allowed. 6th in total yards allowed. Gave up 183 yards to Dillion/Jones combo last week.
oh no

thank you.

then for PPR flex, i have those other three RBs - the two Harris's and I still like Herbert's matchup vs MIN's run defense, or I have Olave vs SEA, Drake London @TB, JuJu vs LV, or Bateman vs CIN

I think it's Olave, even if Andy Daulton is still there, but if Michael Thomas is back, not sure.

I think you go olave until proven other wise

Need flex advice.
Zeke or Devonta smith.
oh no

1.0 PPR: Devonta
0.5 PPR: Zeke
0.0 PPR: Zeke

need reliable higher floor: Zeke
need to throw out there for high ceiling: Devonta

If M. Thomas is back, him or Olave as WR2?
