it's a bad matchup for Najee.

would definitely start Jamaal ahead of him...and the other backs are great starts as well.

this is the week to dust off D.Harris and Stevenson -- Lions defense is really bad

yeah; thanks. I'm feeling Dalvin and Jamaal as RB1&2, but I do really like Khalil and Damien's matchups too- is it enough to bench Olave or London at flex for one of them is the question.

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

Thomas.

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

Agree on the ceiling but I would lean Devonta in all formats assuming good weather in Arizona. Arizona can't run the ball so I expect there to be lots of opportunities for the eagles offense.

in an 8-team league; embarrassment of riches

pick 2 RBs:

Saquon @GB
Dameon Pierce @JAX
Jamaal Williams @NE
Josh Jacobs @KC
Breece Hall vs MIA

Last week, Saquon and Jamaal did ok for me, but on my bench, Pierce did better than both starters, Jacobs finally exploded and demolished all of them, and Breece seemed to taken over NYJ's backfield for good and finished just 1 point under Saquon.

various week 5 rankings and projections suggest I stick with Saquon and Jamaal again, but both Pierce and Jacobs face some weak run defenses with JAX and KC.

KC just gave up 3 rushing yards to Fournette and White combined! That was with Brady airing out pretty well. So I think Jacobs owners could be hit with bench super start, start bust whiplash.

I'd stick with what you already did. Saquon (no brainer) and Williams.

PPR league:

2RBs, 2WRs, and a flex

RB: Dobbins, Conner, Damien Harris
WR: Sutton, Metcalf, Dionte, JuJu, DeVonta, Hollins

*injuries have killed my team*

I hear ya, thanks, but I did want to point out that Fournette and White still scored 18.4 and 16.8 pts in PPR respectively vs KC's defense last week from the dump offs and screens. That's over 30 pts to RB and LV pretty much only uses Jacobs.

I think Sutton and Metcalf for sure and then your flex is a toss up between the third RB or Devonta. ...and it's pretty much a three way toss up for those RBs.

I think Damien Harris might have a slightly lower week 5 ECR than the other two, but I think I'd start him with Dobbins. NE Qb injuries and DET defense should be good for Damien. then it's Conner or DeVonta (floor vs ceiling) at flex. maybe a good ppr floor with JuJu too. I think you stay away from Dionte with kenny pickett possibly the qb going forward and on the road at BUf.

Good point. He certainly isn't a bad play.

I would start Damien Harris in the flex over the WR's

Need a WR2 and Flex

QB: Murray (not excited versus Philly D)
RB1: Saquon Barkley
RB2: Dalvin Cook
WR1: Tee Higgins
TE: Mark Andrews

WR2 Options: Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, or Curtis Samuel
Flex Options: Jamaal Williams, Darren Waller, Damien Harris, Raheem Mostert

Leaning Sutton slightly over Waddle for WR and Jamaal Williams for Flex

I dont like thur games (sutton) so I'd go waddle or Samuel if waddle is still banged up (Dotson is out so I like samuels target opportunities)

Are we thinking the Pats defense holds the Lions in check? If so Damien Harris might be a better start than Jamaal Williams, right?

so you with start all 3 of my RBs? Dobbins, Conner, AND Harris?

if ARSB is back, i'll be starting both he and Jamaal in two leagues.. ...would it be crazy and too much lions if I also grab Goff and start him?

I have Trevor Lawrence at Q right now. vs HOU ...and Geno @NO or Bridgewater @NYJ could be decent options as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Goff and the Lions fail miserably this weekend.

he was responding to me re: Harris, but yes, you could start all three of those RBs, or maybe sit connor if you want to start Devonta or Juju at flex

Jonathan Taylor officially OUT

Waddle DNP

ARSB DNP

Pitts DNP

Montgomery DNP

Help me out at WR3. PPR
DK Metcalf or Godwin

yes, I would go Harris over Diontae and JuJu.

the Lions have given up at least 27 points in every game this year.

NE is going to score touchdowns

Both are good choices but I'd lean Godwin. He led targets last week I believe

Nm

O/U for Thursday night's game is just 42 points.

I have Pittman in 2 leagues. Have to start him in one league, but tempted to take a flyer on Pickens in the other

FLEX Waiver Help:
With Patterson IR, JT out and Montgomery potentially out, I'm in a bad way at RB:

Best available on waiver per FanrastyPros: (Week 5, not rest of season):

If ppr, burkhead/ mckissic might have the better floor.
Id lean toward Pacheco becuase he could easily get a TD and has bigger season upside.

I think IND has to throw the ball with JT out so I like his target volume especially in a ppr. Id be a little worried about Pickens vs a good Bills defense in windy conditions.

Need a WR in a .5 PPR.

JuJu vs LV
C. Davis vs Miami
Boyd vs Balt
Mooney vs Minn
Gallup vs LAR

Normally would start JuJu but he's had a pretty underwhelming start to the season.

edit... changed my mind. I think I'm starting Jamaal Williams over Damien Harris due to QB uncertainty with the Patriots.

Would anyone drop Brandon Aiyuk and/or Elijah Moore for:

Jakobi Meyers
Isaiah McKenzie
Corey Davis

I love Aiyuk and Moore as talents, but man their offenses SUCK.

Pick 1 WR, 1 PPR...

D. Johnson (Pit) @ Buf
B. Cooks (Hou) @ Jac
T. Lockett (Sea) @ NO
G. Wilson (NYJ) vs Mia

Also, pick a WR2, 2 flexes, and a superflex:

Michael Pittman Jr.
Mike Williams
Chris Godwin
Christian Kirk
Teddy Bridgewater
Andy Dalton (if he starts)

Leaning Williams, Godwin, Kirk, and Teddy I think?
