Getting an early start on this one! Congratulations to everyone moving on in the playoffs.

I need a WR2, RB2, and FLEX:
Nick Chubb vs. NO
JK Dobbins vs. ATL
D'Andre Swift @CAR
Christian Watson @MIA
Mike Evans @ARI

Leaning Watson, Chubb, Dobbins, I think.

yea, that ones more clear cut that mine:


need to start 2 alongside Henry:

Kamara @Cle
Dobbins vs Atl
Walker @KC
Conner vsTB

leaning towards playing the matchups for Kamara and Dobbins-who's looked healthy enough for increased workload and has been the only pulse on Ravens offense


also been stashing playoff Def's a while though with Murray out could go with either this wk

Titans vsHou
TB @Ari

do we really buy the Texans O resurgence? or does Henry just grind that game away



should be slightly favored in semi's

the first question for this week...is your team playing against Derrick Henry?

I would expect about 200 yards & 2 TD's vs. the Texans. Probably 30 points or so

W

agree with those three.

it's time to part ways with the Lions RB's -- too unpredictable

Ive got a number of tough calls this week. My entrenched starters are elite for a 12 team league (T Hill, AJ Brown, CMC, and Kittle) so I probably need high floor guys here more so than high ceiling guys, but its the semifinals of the playoffs so you need both really.

QB:
Dak (vs Philly) or
Herbert (@ Indy on Monday night)

RB2:
Cordarelle Patterson (@ Bal)
JK Dobbins (vs Atl)
Kenneth Walker (@ KC)
Zonovan Knight (vs Jax)

Flex:
Any of the RB2's I don't use at RB2
Chris Godwin (@ Arizona)
Christian Watson (@ Miami)
Garrett Wilson (vs Jax)

I also have to drop one of these players to get Kenneth Walker out of my IR slot.

Current plan:
QB: Herbert
RB2: Dobbins
Flex: Godwin
Drop: Knight or Wilson; will drop late enough that no one can pick them up for this week (they play Thursday).

I like Dobbins at home vs. the Falcons.

Walker seems healthy now and has a good matchup vs. KC.

let's see if Watson posts another big game tonight.

I would drop Zonovan -- he busted yesterday

O/U for Cowboys-Eagles is 51 points.

this may be the game to sit both defenses

In general the Jets offensive players get a big down grade when Zach Wilson is QB...

Sorry for including a Week 15 question here, but here's a QUESTION FOR MNF (PACKERS/RAMS):

-I need 15 points (PPR) from my Flex position to win my 1st round playoff game, and my options are:

-Christian Watson
-Aaron Jones.

Thoughts?

I'd play Jones personally but hard to sit Watson with the tear he's been on.

I gotta go Watson. Jones has only scored 15 points 5 times out of 13 games. Two other times he has scored ~14. Thats a 50/50 call there. I'll add this, the Rams have only given up 15 points to 5 running backs and 2 of them are named Christian McCaffrey. Another is Josh Jacobs who is a top 3 RB this year. On the other hand I count 12 WR's who have scored 15+ on the Rams and Watson has put up over 15 in every game he has played meaningful snaps in. Now, I think Watson is due for a come back to earth game, the touchdown rate is just not sustainable, but I think I lean towards playing him in this situation.

Tough call man! Always hate going against the grain in the playoffs, but I think you have to strongly consider it here.

My thoughts exactly. I also worry about Jones having being dinged up lately. I bet he'll run for 60, catch 3 for 35, and be right on the line of whether he can get 14-15 points without needing a touchdown. I'm leaning Watson.

whoa, if Hurts is out...that brings the Cowboys D/ST back into play.

it's also a significant boost for Miles Sanders

Yea I have all 3 on my team. Gonna have to figure out who to pick up on waivers at qb. Could work out for the better with the right plug in. Leaning Purdy.

for now penciled in Henry Kamara Dobbins, and Titans unless Cart McCry is out too then may swap in TB..?

Championship game in my non-PPR league. Should be a heavy favorite so looking for most sure points here.

Pick 1:
Sanders vs Dallas
Dobbins vs Atlanta (leaning here)
Walker vs KC

Pick 2:
Hopkins vs TB (leaning here)
Metcalf vs KC (leaning here)
Jeudy vs LAR
Allen vs Indy

Also need to pick up a QB to replace Hurts. Top options below.

Purdy vs Wash (leaning here)
Z Wilson vs Jax
M Ryan vs LAC
Minshew vs Dal
Pickett vs LV

If you're playing someone who has hurts, try to snipe Gardner Minshew off waivers and put him on your bench. He won't put up Jalen #s, but he's using the same weapons.

Semifinals!!!

Kicker: Koo against Baltimore or Jake Elliott against Dallas?
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

My apologies for leading you astray, but I still think it was the right call given the information we had. Rams hadn't been giving up points to RB's all season and all of a sudden give up 3 touchdowns. Packers running backs hadn't been scoring touchdowns all season whereas Watson had 7 in the last 4 games or whatever it was. Tough luck...
Hey...so.. um

Fournette @ ARI
Murray @ LAR


Second league
Conner VS TB
Swift @ Jets

I'm leaning conner and fournette

My playoff opponent has Hurts and no other QB on his bench. So I'm picking up every QB I can
Agzonfire

Forgot my question.

Mark Andrews or Evan Engram? I'm honestly leaning Engram, but if Jackson is back that could make it interesting.

You might try cycling through all the available Thursday QB's first so that they aren't available at all to him. Then if you get to a day later in the week where he still hasn't picked up a QB you can cycle through the Saturday QB's on Thursday and he shouldn't be able to get them unless yall have a 1 day waiver process (then wait until Friday). And then same thing for the Sunday QB's if he still doesn't have a QB by Friday.

Engram in my opinion.

definitely Conner over Swift --- he's been really good and consistent the last 5 weeks

Fournette has the safer floor --- 70 to 80 yards each week but rarely scores.

Latavius has the higher ceiling --- could go for 100 & TD again. Packers ran the ball vs. the Rams last night

Unless actively snowing hard, very little. It doesn't seem to make much a difference overall.

speaking of weather and kickers...

I'm okay with starting Folk and Tucker in cold weather

but unsure about Carlson at Pittsburgh Saturday night with a projected high temp of 13 degrees.

especially when Sanders in Miami and McLaughlin indoors are available on waivers
