you'll feel dumber starting Lockett with Hopkins going off than vice versa

At TE should I go Taysom Hill vs Arizona, or Darren Waller (if healthy) vs Houston this week?

---

I'd go Waller because Thursday night games are usually brutal on FFL. Last two games have been 12-9 (in overtime!) and 12-7.

odds that Damien Harris will be Q until Sunday and then OUT again? I'd really like to use my IR spot and not have to drop a player and a defense in order to stream a defense.

your best case is he is put as OUT on Thur or Fri. Patriots play monday so you will likely be forced to drop a player Sunday morning for a defense.

Oh crap. Forgot they play MNF. In that case, I can't wait until Monday for D Harris to be declared OUT and use my IR spot. Need to decide to drop or start Taysom Hill Thursday @AZ or Freiermuth Sunday @MIA.

Taysom obviously is bust bust bust with occasional boom. Freiermuth got 10, 7, 4, 9 targets before injury and had a solid floor- but all that was before concussion and before PIT changed QBs.

I suppose I could also just not start a defense this week.

I'd play Hill tonight, drop Friermuth (on friday/Saturday). Also gives a chance Harris is declared out later today or tomorrow.

For Defense: AZ or Jax? I did see the post on the previous page but some of those aren't available.

Anybody plugging in Taysom Hill tonight?

I don't want to. but I might have to.. since NE probably won't declare Damien Harris OUT until Monday, I'll need to drop someone so I can get someone out of the IR spot, so that I can drop a defense on bye and pick up a defense this week..

I either need to drop Taysom before the game starts this evening, or start him tonight and drop Freiermuth before his game starts on Sunday.

from Derek Brown on fantasy pros today:

Freiermuth is quietly having a breakout season as the TE9 in fantasy points per game. He's ninth in target share, seventh in target per route run rate, and fifth in air yard share. He leads all tight ends with seven deep targets while sitting at 15th in red zone looks. Freiermuth ranks sixth in PFF receiving grade and yards per route run (minimum ten targets). He gets a solid matchup against Miami, who is 25th in DVOA while ranking 13th in receiving yards and first in catch rate allowed. Freiermuth is a top-ten tight end.

Hill is slowly on his way to debunking my disdain for his positional eligibility, as he's up to 31 snaps as a receiver (35 at QB). Hill remains stalled at 3.6 routes per game with only one reception for the year. Hill is the TE5 for the year, thanks to two massive outings. In the other three games, he finished as the TE50, TE16, and TE28. He's averaging 5.3 rushes and 53.2 rushing yards per game which is skewed by his 112-yard performance. Hill has three games with 35 or more rushing yards. He's tied with Kamara with five red zone rushing opportunities. He is a weekly home run swing or whiff at the tight end position.

I think I'll start Taysom (also starting Olave at flex), with the hopes that NE declares D. Harris OUT on Sat or Sun.. if they don't, i'll be dropping Freiermuth on Sunday morning and grabbing a mediocre defense..

then again, if Taysom rips off another 3 TD performance and Olave has 7-8+ rec and a TD, I might just not play a defense this week

Probably need to put the Top 10 TE into perspective.

On fantasy pros the top 2 TEs have 130 points ROS. Kelce & Andrews
Next tranche of guys 3-6 roughly 100 points ROS for Ertz, Goedert, Waller & Kittle
Then guys 7-9 in the 85 points ROS for Hockenson, Higbee Pits.

Then guys 10-18 in the 69.3-77 point range. Or roughly .5 point difference per week for ROS between number 18 and number 10. Njoku, Freiermuth (76.3), ... Taysom HIll (70.4), ... Robert Tonyan (69.3).

That is with a guy like Dalton Schultz who could come back from injury with Dak at QB and become a top 10 guy ROS. Or rookies like Daniel Bellenger growing into a TE role. Other thing I don't like about Freiermuth is that he might be a Mitch target guy and not Kenny Picket who seemed to favor the deep ball with Pickens.

agreed. I'm starting the prayer in Hill tonight and likely dropping Freier on Sunday morning to stream a defense.

...just wish the Pats would have just declared Harris out earlier so I wouldn't have to drop anyone. It was reported he'd miss multiple weeks, but they will list him as limited and questionable all week and rule him out on game day every week. I had four guys OUT on my roster last week in addition to some byes. Three return this week and Harris is probably still going to be out, but i can't grab drop a defense and add a defense until i move Bateman out of IR since he's no longer eligible... just poor roster management on my part.

Need flex help in a .5 PPR. Pick one

T Hill vs Arz
M Gallup vs Det
K Hunt vs Balt
R Bateman vs Cle
K Pitts vs Cin

---

Anyone have thoughts on this? Leaning Gallup with Dak coming back.

Gallup would be my play. Bateman you probably want to give a week to see if healthy.

Pick 2 for 0.5 ppr

Olave vs Arizona tonight
Lazard vs Washington
Sutton vs NYJ

Leaning Lazard and Olave.

I was thinking Olave and Lazard

Connor is OUT!

Pick 2:
- Benjamin
- Montgomery
- Lockett

Lockett didn't practice today, so I would throw Eno in there and figure out the others on Sunday.

Got DHop going in one league and Olave & Taysom in the other. Hoping for an entertaining Thursday game (finally) although I'll probably have the 'Stros on more.

PPR

Eno Benjamin vs NO
Zeke vs DET (wouldn't consider if it wasn't the lowly lions defense)

Zeke

Is y'all's ESPN effing up? It says Arizona is on a bye now.

Interesting stat from the Amazon broadcast: New Orleans averaging 4.2 points per drive when Taysom Hill gets at least 1 touch on the drive, 0.9 points per drive when he doesn't.

Who fired up their Taysom?

woo hoo!

TD for Taysom

here x 2

Here x3!

Yup, I assume that will be fixed sometime in the next couple of days.

Thank you Taysom

Kyler is such a little b i a t ch man.

That was NOT a conversion. Ball was loose before crossing goal line.

2 min warning and zero punts so far for either team. What a refreshing change from the last couple of Thursdays.

Looks like maybe i should've gone with AZ D after that

As someone who started Eno in multiple spots and is annoyed he got vultured, I will take it.

pick 6 for the Arizona defense

and another pick 6

Cardinals D/ST winning matchups...tonight
