With the east coast experiencing an early blast of arctic cold, so much so I need to start moisturizing my hands (just like your mom), I’m reminded of the day I left the west coast and wonder how I ended up here. Then I look at how my Chargers and Padres are doing and realize how much lifespan was added to my liver since that time. Kinda like the ebb and flow of life itself. Or Zeke’s suspension status. Hey-ooooh (too soon?)

Thanks Jay!
A couple questions, all for a PPR league —
Brate or Rudolph at TE?
Pick 1 RB: Mixon, Thompson, White, Abdullah
Thank you
@Noam:
Also, would you start Dez Bryant? If not I could start any of the above RBs
@Noam: Going Brate and Thompson there. Good luck!
@Noam: Brate and Mixon
Need a flex and a rb out of (ppr league);
DeMarco Murray
Darkwa
Sterling Shepard
Davante Parker
Ginn
Thanks!
@PaulZone: Darkwa Duck there.
@Jay: Who is Duck?
Rb – Darkwa
Flex – ?
Need one for each
@PaulZone: Darkwing Duck, and then I’d say Shep.
Maybe I’m too old.
@Jay: No, I’m just slow. Haha.
Guess I’m just hesitant to play 2 Giants eeven tho its a good matchup. Aargh!
@PaulZone: Yeah, it has some risk, but just in case, I have Murray close enough to Darkwa that it isn’t crazy.
@PaulZone: Murray and Darkwa
QB dilemma- every start/sit article head Eli as a great start with Cousins as a must sit… Rankings have Cousins much higher… Who to start?
@mH: I’m sticking with Cousins, but Kerry made a great argument.
@mH: Eli. He has to play well against SF or he’s facing the possibility of getting benched. They’ll beat em to death with short passes.
Jay,
I’m on the fence on taking MB’s advice to cut Cousins, pick up McCown, and then roll with Wentz instead of a Wentz/Cousins platoon ROS in 12 team.
I notice you rank Cousins above McCown for this week (and presumably) ROS. Seems like Doctson being active and the Redskins being at home are in Kurt’s favor. However, Minnesota is much stiffer than TB has been and McCown has been at least as good for fantasy purposes the last five weeks.
Anyway, I’d be thankful for your thoughts about:
1) McCown vs. Cousins this week
2) the need for a 2nd QB behind Wentz (barring DeShaun Watson like injuries)
@the imp: Yeah, sticking with Cousins, but I agree that McCown has been providing good value, pretty much a solid QB2 here.
@the imp: I just don’t see the point of holding onto Cousins when Wentz is virtually matchup proof. McCown has the best matchup
@Unbreakable_MB: hear ya MB on the ROS. Just worried that getting Crowder and three OL back helps Cousins stay upright and get right this week at home with a higher floor and ceiling than I anticipated midweek. But you’ve been right several times this season, so I’m doubting my thinking.
Mr, JAY
Are we benching S.Diggs (vs WAS) for M.Sanu (vs DAL) in .5 PPR ?
Can’t decide man… other option would be K.Benjamin (vs NO)
thx my dude!
@Slappy Jack: It’s close, but sticking with Diggs there.
@Slappy Jack: yeah, Diggs
@Slappy Jack: Diggs it is!
#EATaD @J_No24
@Slappy Jack: Well played my prophets
Many fictional virgins wait for you in the after life
Hey jay top of the morning! I’m going to need all of the good vibes sent my way I’m facing a good team he already had Fitzgerald go off Thursday for 20 points. I did have Baldwin on TNF for 11.5 points
.5 PPR league here’s the break down would you make changes or leave as is? Thanks!!
QB Dak
RB1 Gordon @ jax
RB2: McKinnon @ Washington
WR1: Baldwin went TNF , 11.5 pts
WR2: Parker MNF @ Carolina
WR3 now this is sticky: Corey Davis vs bengals
Flex: leaning Mcaffery home vs fins
TE: Doyle vs Pittsburgh
D/st haven’t added one yet but leaning either Broncos D, Giants D, or Miami D
Kicker I added gano for this week
Bench: clay, Keenan Allen, hunt bye, tyreek hill bye, hogan injured, Aaron jones, AP went on TNF
—
My opponent:
QB tyrod
RB1: bell
RB2 doug Martin
WR1: Deandre Hopkins
WR2: demaryius
WR3: Fitzgerald 20 pts
Flex: Jarvis Landry
TE: brate
D: lions
Kicker kai forbath
His bench in case of a last min swap: gio Bernard, witten, decker, DMC, Vikings D
— would you add & play this available guys over the guys in my starting lineup today, Booker, Burkhead, ty Montgomery, Godwin, humphries, martavis Bryant, Kenny Stills, Cole Beasley, Curtis Samuel.
Thanks again jay have a great Sunday funday!!
@Bobby’s world: Good vibes sent, as always! I think you go Giants with the first team, and Davis is okay there, but I’d rather have Keenan.
And you too!
@Bobby’s world: I agree with Jay, Keenan > Davis
@Unbreakable_MB:
Burkhead or Booker over McKinnon or Mcaffery this week? Is Parker 100% healthy? I know Landry got the TD but Parker got the yards last week cutler loves him some Parker
What’s your guys fave football flick? Rudy? Invincible? The garbage picking FG kicking Philly phenomenon, any given Sunday, longest yard the classic or the one with Sandler , replacements, little Giants, two for the money?
If you haven’t seen two for the money i highlands recommend it I feel it’s a very under rated flick! It’s not 100% football more on the gambling side with Pacino & Matthew magonahey.
Standard, Flex Spot:
Mack or Rod Smith?
Mack ranked higher, but up against steelers..or does mack benefit from garbage time?
I know Dallas loves Smith, so I grabbed just in case (and dmc and Morris were already owned)
Thanks!
@Brent: Mack there, and yeah, that’s a small part maybe.
@Brent: Mack
Great rankings!
Would you drop Derrick Henry or Danny Woodhead for Powell in a PPR?
Thanks!
@Chud: Thanks man. Henry is fine.
@Chud: yes drop Henry for him
Morning my man, simple waiver Q. I own Kareem hunt , I also am cuffing him with chark west. Would you drop west to add rod smith as a speculative add? Or stay w/ the cuff? It’s cuffing season!! Or is it?!
Gracias
@Timber: Yeah, I’m okay going Smith there.
@Timber: I’d grab Smith as well
I have so little confidence in Doug Martin. Who has the higher ceiling today, Martin or Derrick Henry?
@MattyIce: Martin, I suppose. I hear ya.
@MattyIce: Martin, but I’m frustrated too.
Brady or Stafford? And Aaron Jones, Cohen, Drake, or Damien Williams at RB2? Thanks.
@Allan: Brady and none of those are great plays. Drake has the most potential, I suppose
@Allan: I’d say Brady and Jones.
Damien Williams or Burkhead in a full point ppr? Thanks!
@Jerry: Burkhead
@Jerry: Burky.
Who do you think is safest to not be a bust and get like 5 points….Gallman, Cohen, Burkhead, Sammy Watkins.
@Cram It: I’m big on Burkhead today with Hogan being out
@Unbreakable_MB: I like it too. Thanks!
@Cram It: Yeah, I’d say Burkhead. He’ll at least get some red zone attention, hopefully.
Main question is who to start at te. Standard league
Rudolph, Davis, or asj?
Reluctant to start Rudy because I’m also starting thielen and don’t want all my eggs in one Minnesota basket.
Thanks.
@CrusherDoug: Davis with Reed out. I think he’ll have a big day
@CrusherDoug: Davis there.
I added doctson about 3 weeks ago. I got all excited about this #1 wr talk. He hasn’t had more than 5 targets in any game or 3 catches. Martavis Bryant is a FA. Who would you rather own as an upside #5 wr when I start 3 plus a flex. I have only started doctson once because of byes. He did score a td, but he had 1 catch for 1 yd. Bryant had a bye to maybe get his mojo back and he has proven to be very dynamic before. Thx
@Scott: definitely still Doctson for me. Not this week though. Many of us, myself included, see him having a big 2nd half, but I understand your frustration.
I was looking at this ros, not for this week. What do you think?
@Scott: Doctson
@Scott: Doctson for ROS.
Pick 2 of the following:
Stefon diggs/ marqise lee/ dion Lewis/ devontae booker/ Kenyan drake…
Thanks.
@Beastmodenomo: Diggs and Lewis.
@Beastmodenomo: Diggs and Lewis, yes
Burkhead or Booker over McKinnon or mcaffery or too bold??
@Bobby’s world: Too bold, but Burkhead over McKinnon isn’t crazy. I wouldn’t do it, but it’s not crazy.
@Bobby’s world: I agree, too bold
Grr I know it’s early but bracing for the loss. I have a combined 0.5 pts between Melvin Gordon, McKinnon & Keenan allen. Gross!! It’s looking to the lat Murray show today. It’s bad when Gordon ‘a backup has better numbers thus far .
I need it to be close heading into the 4pm games for me to have a shot
dion lewis or Kenyan drake ?
or booker? looking for most likely to score 10 pts…
Chalking up week 10 as a loss!
Currently down by a ton 91.5 to my 34.5 gross!!
Do I have a chance or am I toast??
QB Dak going in the 4pm slate
RB1: Gordon 8 pts he was useless
RB2: McKinnon 7 points, he was a bust it was a Murray
WR1: Baldwin 11.5 on Thursday
WR2 Keenan 6 points gross
WR3 Parker going MNF
TE Doyle 2 measly points
Flex Mcaffery MNF
Defensive player going Rashad jones on MNF or kiko Alonso
D: leaning Miami D on MNF
Kicker I have gano going
—-
My opponent
His QB tyrod , 3 points
RB1: bell, 18.5 points
RB2: Martin, 9 points
WR1: Hopkins 4pm slate
WR2: Demaryius SNF
WR3: Fitzgerald TNF , 20 points
TE:, 1.5 points
Flex: Landry MNF
Defensive player:, demaro Davis 9.5 pts
Kicker: forbath 11 points
Looking ahead to week 11 & beyond are you dealing for a WR or RB for the final stretch?
RBs Gordon, hunt, mcaffery, Aaron jones (I’m dropping), AP, McKinnon, ekeler.
My WRs: Keenan, Baldwin, tyreek hill, hogan, Parker, Corey Davis,
My TE Doyle/ clay. Is Doyle droppable?
Thanks!!!
@Bobby’s world: yeah, he is for sure.
super flex standard dynasty where the points are schewered even more towards throwing yards.
QB goff/fitz/yates/
RB (2) gurley/booker/hyde/breida/coleman/woodhead
WR (2) green/dez/cooks/parker/m.williams
TE (1) oj howard/walker
1 regular flex
1 super flex
IR palmer/dixon
yates or gabbert with the stanton knee thing news (i saw him get hurt early in the game was thinking he might come out of it)
@Mordacious Levator: with more data in place (this week) HOU might be getting tired of being savaged.
@Mordacious Levator: Gabbert I think.
16 team league std
Which side?
Tyrod Diggs Morris
A Smith Amendola Gore
I have the first group. Obviously Tyrod killed my week, I also have Rod Smith.
@Nightpandas: Diggs side.
finally am about to post a bottom 2 score (i have no clue how i’m in a near 3 way tie for 1st in points this late with these injuries), 16 team PPR/IDP dynasty. fantrax so infinite IR slots for anybody that can’t play for any reason
QB (start 1, max 2 active, unless more than 1 is from ARI), palmer/trubisky/flacco/mccown
RB (2, 6) j.allen/drake/stewart/hyde/kelley/breida/d.johnson/c.johnson/hightower
WR (3, 7) doctson/evans/t.will (LAC)/m.will/mart bryant/garcon/john brown
TE (1, 3) ertz/burton/green julius
1 flex
K (1, 2) nugent/dawson
TEAM D ARI
good IDP’s though of course
better waiver priority: j.will (GB) or perine? longer term i likely have room for neither of course.
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: Williams.
@Jay: different league, a 12 team dynasty half PPR i have these RB’s (which were a huge weakness coming into year, got lucky to draft kamara at pick 2.12 (it’s a 2 QB league) after getting mahomes at 1.12): ingram/kamara/rawls/darkwa/kelley (start 2 RB 2 flexes, have good WR depth and VD for the flexes now that byes are near over). kelley dropped for this order: burkhead/j.allen/j.will (some news t-mont might be playing soon)/perine, or would j.allen be lower with woodheadyness looming?
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: holy crap, looked back at the 3 round draft, and for some reason i went mahomes over trubisky did you guys have mahomes higher for dynasty purposes back in august, i’ve since seen their draft grades and trubisky is the 2017 draft highest QB. trubisky almost fell to me at 2.12.
is there something in the swamp water down there (or the coke more likely), as now like the last 2 or 3 MIA organizations have made all sorts of stupid RB decisions, and continue to
1. l.miller getting jerked around for what 3 years (maybe 2)
2. pro bowlers on near league min contracts with 1.5 years left dumped so the coach can make some kinda point while really telling his fanbase he’s a giant ass
3. d.will continuing to get carries over drake when coffee cake kicked serious ass last week
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: clearly, the pro bowl RB was MIA’s problem. not coaching or something else.
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: MORE coffee cake you stupid basterds
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: haha
@Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo: yeah, it’s awful when you contextualize it like that.
@Jay: i’m not even a MIA fan, i’m sure those guys could get more nitty gritty with these complaints. love how the announcers just refer to it in the strongest terms as a ” surprising shake up” not completely bat shit stupid behavior (assuming a team actually is trying to win football games on purpose, i might be wrong on that one)
Jay,
I need to pick up a TE to stream this week, so I have to drop either Dede Westbrook, Forte, or Amendola. I’ve held Westbrook for 2 weeks and want to see what he’s got, Forte has the knee injury but was coming back to life before then, and Amendola has been pretty bleh. Who is the drop? Thanks.
Hey Jay, long time no post…rough season starting 0-7 but I managed to rattle off 3 straight wins. Would you hold Rams in 10-team league and grab Az to play this week against Houston & no Watson? In order to do that, I’d need to drop Fuller (who seems to be useless now) or Blount/Darkwa are expendable on the bench…
Regardless of above, would you be OK with dumping Fuller &/or Blount to make space for other opportunities?
