second to last week (for most) until FF playoffs

most leagues past their trade deadline

not a lot of great priority waiver adds out there, but a HUGE bye week in the NFL: Ravens, Bills, Vikings, Giants, Raiders, Bears

JJ activated off IR, but on bye


For what decisions do you seek Texags advice?

News out of Indy is that Taylor is questionable. Zach moss would be the priority add of the week.

Jaylin Hyatt seems to be hot name out on the WW

got 5 players + my D/st on bye on top of two players highly questionable (Olave and Achane).

I have to drop two or three players. One to get JJ out of IR so that I can place any waiver claims today/tonight. Two to stream a defense (JAX or LAR or IND?) with BAL on bye, and possibly three to grab a crappy RB (Zeke? Allgiere? Perine? Spears?) in case Achane is not back since I have two other RBs on bye and Achane is Q with MCL sprain.


potential to drop:

Kyler Murray - Hurts is my starter, Kyler is on bye next week, but it's nice to have assurance if Hurts goes down- Kyler has some good playoff matchups too- @CHI and @PHI in wks 16 & 17

Dalton Kincaid - Evan Engram is my starter this week with Kincaid on bye, but Kincaid has been my starter and the better TE play for several weeks, but on bye now and I think Knox might return in wk 14 (?)

Rashee Rice or DHop - WRs are JJ (on bye), Olave (Q with concussion), Tank Dell, DHop, and Rice

Alex Mattison - on bye, other RBs are Kamara, James Cook (also on bye), Achane (Questionable)

Baltimore - BAL has been solid all season, but playoff week schedule in wks 15-16-17 are @JAX, @SF, and v MIA

I'm thinking: drop Kyler now to get JJ out of IR. place waiver to drop Kincaid and grab a D/ST- JAX or IND for this week. Wait a few days for updates on Achane and drop BAL to grab a free agent RB later in the week if Achane remains limited all week. Can't afford to drop a WR in case Olave doesn't clear protocol. Can't really afford to drop a RB since I have so few of them right now. Thoughts?

Have a true coin flip this week in my main league for RB2. Mixon or Warren. They are neck and neck in rankings wherever I look.

The way I look at it, Mixon is a safer bet for me to get at least 6 or so points, but Warren currently has more upside. Matchup wise, Warren looks to have a good one in Arizona. I am leaning Warren. Any thoughts?

FWIW, I am playing the other best team in the league through 12 weeks and wouldn't mind the upside.

What's your record? Without knowing more, I would not do much yet and wait. I would not drop the Baltimore defense if possible.

6-6, 5th place of 10, but 2nd in total points

In this case, your line of thinking is sound:

"I'm thinking: drop Kyler now to get JJ out of IR. place waiver to drop Kincaid and grab a D/ST- JAX or IND for this week. Wait a few days for updates on Achane and drop BAL to grab a free agent RB later in the week if Achane remains limited all week."

Taylor out a few weeks. Fire up Moss.

Damn it, my opponent this week has moss of course

the Steelers offense and associated skill players have suddenly gotten fantasy interesting.

Pittsburgh rolled up 421 yards on Sunday with a new O.C.

and the schedule looks good ---> Arizona, New England, Indy, and Seattle the next 4 weeks

definitely some flex plays in week 13 and beyond

I dropped Mattison in one league last week

and dropped Aaron Jones in another

to get my rosters lined up for the playoffs.

the Baltimore D/ST is creating some difficulty as mentioned above

don't like week 16 at the 49ers for the semi-finals

just for fun...

top 5 RB's in season scoring in non-PPR:

1. CMC
2. Mostert
3. Etienne
4. Brian Robinson
5. Jacobs

the CMC vs. Jefferson decision at #1 has proven to be critical in leagues this year

hard to believe Mostert at age 31 is still holding up

Jacobs has come on strong in the last month

in my 12-team league with Josh Allen on the bye...

looks like I'll be rolling out Kenny Pickett on Sunday

Well playoffs start next week and there's 4 teams fighting for the 4th spot in our playoffs. Other 3 all have clinched. 2 of the 4 are me and my wife.

Problem is she has the good team and she's 5-7 with the other 3 of us 6-6. She leads all 4 in points so would have the tiebreaker but obviously needs us 3 to all lose. If I win I will not have a tiebreaker with the other 2 guys so I need them both to lose. So all in all the odds are not good because we need both of the others to lose and they're not necessarily playing the best teams this week.

Other problem being injuries and bye weeks. Wife has Josh Allen, saquon, Hockenson, and kicker on bye and Achane and Olave questionable. She can still field a strong enough team to win even with all of this so not worried about that.

Me on the other hand I've lost Justin Jefferson, mark andrews, joe burrow, Kenneth walker, and now Jonathan Taylor to injury and I have QB and Kmet on bye. If you want to know who's gonna get injured each week just ask me who's on my team.

Wife is claiming Russell Wilson and falcons d

I am claiming Pat Freiermuth and Jordan love.

TLDR: this is the worst and unluckiest fantasy season we have both ever had in the 8+ years playing fantasy and we are both likely to miss the playoffs this week because of it.

Thanks!

Houston defense hasn't been that great but widely available and a decent week 14 and playoff schedule full of backup and rookie QBs:

New Orleans d/st is available - only 46% owned in yahoo leagues - great week 14 and 15 schedule for final week and first week of ff playoffs:

Green Bay - only 16% owned

and Atlanta - only 30% owned

Pit RB time share scares me despite the match up. ( I'm on the other side with Harris). That said I think both are plays this week.

I randomly looked at ESPN analysis and they show Mixon with further upside. Sure, if you want to bank on some random multi-TD game. It just looks highly highly unlikely now.

Picked them up for 14 and 15. May not need them in 15 if I lock up a bye, but if I don't, that is a lucrative matchup.

Have NYJ for 16 and 17 that will probably be best option out there. They are playing Washington then Cleveland.

Tank Dell just popped questionable (calf)

Anyone seen or heard anything on Achane coming back this week?

At practice today per Twitter.

6 teams on a bye in week 13 with the trade deadline in the rearview is bull*****

This one is driving me insane. Half PPR.

Tony Pollard against Seattle or Rachaad White against Carolina

I lean pollard

Breece Hall popped up on the injury report with a hamstring issue.
De'Von Achane is still limited in practice with the knee.
Keenan Allen is dealing with a quad issue.
Tank Dell missed practice with a calf issue.

Would anyone start Zach Charbonnet tonight in the event that some of those guys are held out this week?
Other option would be Jerome Ford with Joe Flacco at QB...

without knowing more about your team and situation, i think i'd lean not jumping the gun and starting charbo on thursday night. Dell should play. I really hope Achane is going to play. but either way, Ford is solid and Charbo vs DAL feels like a lower floor than Ford.

Jordan Palmer is eligible to come off IR and is available as a FA.

Wonder if he's worth a grab and stash.

Charbonnet will get 15+ touches with Walker out

I would start him ahead of Breece (with an injury concern)

Interesting. I am 9-3 and should win this week.

Flacco makes me nervous, but maybe he is an upgrade over DTR and PJ Walker...anyone recall if he checks down often?

A guy in my league dropped 70% of his FAAB on him when MikeWill went down and has had him stashed in his IR ever since he got hurt.
