Welcome to week 16!

Injury news: Montgomery is done. Mahomes, Kamara and AJ brown have ones to keep an eye on.
Barely was hurt but then came back in.

Defenses seem to have options out there. Atlanta, Jax, Vegas (options maybe not rostered)

Need help picking a defense this week.

Broncos at Chargers (Thursday Night Game)
Bills (Going against Patriots, but have given up 44 and 42 the last two weeks)

or potentially add Colts or Texans defense?

Play the matchups or play the best defense in fantasy this year?

Thursday night defense is the best defense

similar: I've got:

Colts (v TEN - gives up the most FF points to defenses)
Broncos (@ LAC - gives up the 12the fewest FF points to defenses)
Bucs (@ DAL - gives up the 8th most FF points to defenses)

This is my feeling, but are there stats out there to confirm this?

Green Bay Defense a good play with Carr out (and a hurt Kamara)?
I can also pick up IND.

for those that played the Denver D/ST all season -- the #1 defense is most leagues

are you sticking with them in week 16?

I'm leaning yes -- especially on Thursday night against a not-so-scary Chargers offense

also...there is always much discussion preseason about when to draft QB's...

but right now teams entering the semis with Josh Allen or Lamar should be the favorites or heavy favorites to win their championship

A consistent top 3 QB gets you into the playoffs. They don't normally win you the playoffs.

Chase Brown, Jeudy, Bowers, Brian Thomas, Nico, Keenan Allen, Jacobs, Conner and Sutton are the real differentiator in my opinion.

I'm in the semi finals in both of my leagues after waiting on QBs and only taking 1. Rocking with Kyler and Bo Nix in each.

I'm a STRONG proponent for only rostering one QB, one Defense, and one TE unless someone pops up that you have to add. Then filling the remaining spots with RBs and WRs.

Chase brown or bucky irving

I'm a big proponent of riding with the defenses that have shown to be good, rather than gambling on mid or bad defenses with good matchups. I'd rather the consistent 7-9 points than the chance at busting when a mid or bad defense plays like a mid or bad defense.

I don't have the Broncos D, but I have been rolling with the Vikings D and don't plan to bench them next week against GB.

Winston is benched. Cleveland has the worst coaching.

FF 101.

And of course Kamara is the Monday night game and likely will end up game time decision

Just look at the scoring week by week on Thursdays.

We're 16 weeks in and only 4 games have both teams scored more than 20 points.

Both my leagues I'm in need to retake that course then. Guys grabbing two QBs and two defenses all over the place.

That's where I am. If he's out I've got one real RB on my roster…

Been a brutal stretch with CMC. Mason, Hunt

I've got a wavier in for Kendre Miller, but is there anything else out there? Been sitting on lotto tickets R Davis and Corum forever, but other peoples RBs don't seem to get hurt like mine.

1) do you now bench Jeudy
2) do you pick up CIN defense?

2) do you pick up CIN defense? HELL NO

my first place team that is in the semi-finals only drafted one QB - Jayden Daniels - in round 8 - and was the 11th QB taken in a 12 team draft.

who do you have in this semi-final matchup:

Team A / Team B
Q: Lamar / Daniels
W: Puka, AJB / Lamb, London
R: Conner, Mixon / Jacobs, Irving
T: Kittle / McBride
Flx: Guerendo / Nabers
K: Bass / Sanders
D: KC (vHOU) / IND (vTEN)

12 team half per (6pt pass td)
QB: Nix? Maybe Rodgera
WR: Lamb and G Wilson
RB: Cook and Barkley
Flex: Tracy/McMillan/Theilen
TE: Bowers
Def: GB

12 team ppr
QB: Lamar
WRs: Nabers, Juan Jennings, and Jeudy?
RB: Barkley and JT
TE: Bowers
Flex: working on it.
Def: GB

I guess I need educatin'. I never take more than one D, and maybe TE, but I don't understand taking only one QB. I have Burrow and Daniels, and my only issue is who to play week-to-week.

I usually grab a second QB late. Not sure I've ever used him though. This year it was Justin Fields. By the time Allen had his bye, Fields wasn't a starter anymore…

Michael Penix taking over for ATL.

Anyone in semi finals put in waiver claims?

I put in three: for J Ford, Kendre Miller, J McMillan - in that priority order. Would y'all put Miller ahead of Ford?

Cousins TD:INT was 1:9 over the last 5 games. Ouch

Jerome Ford has come full circle in fantasy

I put in multiple waivers for him because of the matchup vs. the Bengals

not 100% sure I'm going to start him though

Cardinals @CAR or Bucs @DAL

Can't decide between Broncos Defense vs the Chargers or the Colts defense vs the Titans

Chargers haven't been great and the Broncos defense is legit. Titans suck but they are going to a new QB and the Cokts defense hasn't been bad. I looked at the implied point total and it's close.

And the jackass I'm playing this week beat me to Kendre Miller just to stash him on the bench.

Stupid wavier priority resets every week so even though I don't make any pickups I still have the lowest priority week after week.

Sounds like Kamara might be ok. But do I wait until Monday night to find out? Is there anyone in the Sunday or Mon night games that should be worth a couple points that I could swap in if my game is close and I don't need much? Clearly if I'm down 20 and Kamara is probable I'll just roll the dice with him. But if I'm down 2 points going into Sunday night?

I picked up Jerome & Tyjae to ride the bench this week just so there wasn't a better option for my opponent to replace Montgomery with.

Funny part is he had priority over me but used it on a kicker instead

I missed out on ford, but snagged Kendre and McMillan for my bench.

Used a waiver on a kicker?????

I had #8 of 10 and still got Ford and Mattison, as well as Breton Strange just in case Njoku doesn't play.
