I know there's a LOT of football left to be played. Has anyone impulsively dropped them yet? I played Seattle over them this past weekend. I'm afraid to play them this week. They've been released in both my leagues. I opted to grab NE over them this week. I'm playing the streaming game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Picked up Njoku in case Gronk can't go Thursday night. Always hate that the Pats are so secretive with their player injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm officially streaming D's at this point too. Dropped Denver for Seattle last week. Dropped Seattle for Tennessee this week. I normally don't like road D's if I can avoid it, but they seem like the best option out of what's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Have GB D against the Lions this week. Go with them or pick up Houston's D against the Boys (and then the Bills next week)? Â Also..just dropped Njoku (didn't realize they were playing the Ravens..doh), picked up Swaim as a backup plan for Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Okay seriously who do I start this week. This is a tough one. Hard to really see a "wrong" option in the bunch but ... RB David Johnson v. #10 best RB matchup defense SF RB Joe Mixon v. #4 best RB matchup MIA RB Mark Ingram v. #27 best RB matchup WAS RB TJ Yeldon v. #2 best RB matchup KC RB Kerryon Johnson v. #22 RB matchup GB RB Dalvin Cook v. #31 RB matchup PHI  WR Davante Adams v. #30 best WR matchup DET WR Amari Cooper v. #4 best WR matchup LAC WR Calvin Ridley v. #2 best WR matchup PIT WR Doug Baldwin v. #21 best WR matchup LAR  Start 2 RB, 2 WR and 2 Flex.  Resting Cook makes sense given his hamstring. I want to see him healthy and prove himself before re-inserting him into the starting lineup. Fortunate to have that luxury. At WR though, IDK what to do. Fantasy Pros also has Baldwin as a "start" now that he's back into the flow, and going into a likely shootout/passing affair against LAR. I'm also not opposed to starting at 3rd WR instead of Ingram. I don't want him to, but I do have a feeling he will blow up against us on MNF. Could see the Saints giving him a ton of touches and Kamara only really being a receiver in the game to give Kamara some fresh legs to come out of their Week 6 Bye.  Oh, and I have to win. As you guys clearly know by now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I prefer DJ, Kerryon, Yeldon/Ingram (flex), Adams, and Cooper. Â I do wonder if Freeman coming back this week cuts into Ridley's/Julio's targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I do wonder if Freeman coming back this week cuts into Ridley's/Julio's targets. Been wondering that as well. But it should be a shootout in Pittsburgh if Atlanta wants to make it a game. I also worry about the TD regression with Ridley getting 6 and Julio with 0. While he has put up yards, it's been on limited (4-6) targets. But he has huge upside and does look really good out there, and because of Julio he's not getting team's top CBs ... and Pittsburgh has the 2nd worst pass defense against fantasy WRs. I'm torn. Â Interesting that you'd bench Mixon. Is that out of fear of him being limited in his return? I could definitely understand being cautious. But I think if he returns which it looks like he will ... he'll be unleashed. I'm also a bit uneasy with Patricia saying he'll continue to use a RBBC with his RBs. I would assume that's coach speak except for the fact that Kerryon and Blount have been splitting touches, despite Kerryon doubling him in yards from those touches to date.

The Evil Genius Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have Mixon on my bench this week because I'm not positive he plays, and if he does how much. The question I have if he does play is will the Bengals split his time with Bernard since Bernard was effective in his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 You guys may be right about the caution with Mixon. I think because he was almost suited up last week, I've been thinking he'll be a full-go. But maybe I sit him and Cook and wait until they're fully back and have my confidence (hopefully by next week). I do have concerns though over my "boom" ability and being in a must-win game. I like DJ, Yeldon, Kerryon and Ingram, but I see Yeldon, Kerryon, Ingram more along the lines of 10 pt. floors and 16 pt. ceilings this week. Where if Mixon were a full-go, he's a 10 pt floor with a huge ceiling. But I definitely see the value in not being burned by the hurt guys and waiting them out. Cook I'm absolutely doing that with, since he burned me last Thursday, and he has a tough matchup against Philly. Â Or more simply put, I'm weighing the risk of starting Mixon with risk of a "pitch count" or Kerryon and Ingram who both have usage concerns (or at least perceived concerns). The "unknown" factor, more or less. I'll monitor the tea leaves this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 My current roster:  QB Patrick Mahomes RB Chris Thompson RB Jay Ajayi WR Golden Tate WR Adam Thielen TE Jared Cook Flex Calvin Ridley DST Panthers K Matt Bryant  Bench:  LeSean McCoy Tyreek Hill Jordan Reed Drew Brees Bears DST  My biggest struggle right now is starting Reed against the Saints or sticking with Cook as he has been playing rather well. My RBs arent strong but I have a lot of WR talent, trying to figure out what to do with all of that. Unfortunately McCoy hasnt done much. Any thoughts?

nonniey Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Well just made two trades not really happy about either.  1) Superflex (2QB Leagues) I traded Trubisky for Lindsay and Kerryon Johnson (I only had Fournette and Howard so this at least helps this weekend - only need to start 1 RB). (My Other QBs are Smith, Roth and Keenum). This trade allowed me to change targets in waivers and save about 100 trade dollars (10% of yearly total - was going to spend about 200 on RBs - Chub being the best - now will spend 50- 100 on WRs for my bench).   2) Dynasty - I Traded Gronk, J Williams, and Wilkins for Carson, Penny and Reed. (This is the one I have most heartburn with).  Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Can't decide on if I should start Hyde vs Baltimore or Collins vs Cleveland as my 3rd RB. My 2nd RB is Michele vs Indy and obviously starting Kamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins is being outplayed big time in Baltimore too (although Chubb did break off a few big ones last week for the Browns). Â I assume you don't have a better TE/WR to flex instead of a RB?

JSSkinz Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The bye week and injuries are killing me.

Fuller is expecting to play, and Westbrook vs. KC and Crowder vs. NO are pretty good matchups. Glad I didn't end up with Fournette this year in seasonal. Hopefully he'll be back strong in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredSkins Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Gronkowski or Jordan Reed? Or both and bench a WR(I have Hopkins, Ridley, Fuller, and Landry) My league has 2 flex positions.

The Evil Genius Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I expect Thompson to have a huge game Monday night. Personally I'd go with Gronk, Hopkins, Ridley, Thompson and then your two RBs (Ingram and Saquon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
