Happy Halloween folks, can you guess who I am? If you guessed press conference Ryan Fitzpatrick you are absolutely correct. If you guessed low level Italian mobster who is a fan of lunch meats and cheeses that is also a good guess. It looks like a bunch of Jaguars players got arrested 12 hours before kickoff so start your Eagles! DeSean Jackson has also requested a trade so that is something to think about. He could see some extra love today from Jameis to boost his trade value. He has the option to get out of his contract at the end of the season so why not get as much as they can for him?
Weather
Light rain in Chicago and Cincinnati
Injuries
Peyton Barber- Questionable
Quincy Enunwa – Out
Paul Richardson -Out
Chris Thompson – Playing
Theo Riddick- Out
Ryan Grant- Out
Cooper Kupp – Doubtful
Randall Cobb- Questionable
Marlon Mack – Probable
Thanks as always for gameday lineup crunch!
Who starts out of Baldwin, Howard, Chris Thompson, Godwin, Josh Gordon, and Richard in full PPR? I need RB, WR, and flex out of those. I’m leaning Baldwin, Howard, and Gordon.
I’m right there with ya!
I’m in a half point ppr 12 man league . I need a second wr to start if Allen Robinson doesn’t play . Would you drop him or Andy Dalton ? THANKS
Qb cam Newton (leaning towards starting Dalton today )
Rb Gurley
RB Kamara
WR A.J. Green
WR A Robinson
TE Howard
D New England
Bench – Cohen, Dion Lewis, Engram, Minnesota, Dalton
Great album. Yeah, Robinson is a safe drop. Starting Dalton May be getting a little cute but Tampa is atrocious so I get it
So I’m 2-4. 10 tean ppr. Was offered this trade:
Brees, Allen, Njoku or Engram for my Peterson & Ertz
My team
Wilson, Stafford
DJ, Peterson, Breida, Miller, Chubb, Martin
Schuster, Baldwin, Edelman, Cobb, Gabriel
Ertz
I oroginally offered him Martin, Edeman, Stafford for Brees & Allen…thinking those 2 could help but hate to give up Ertz.
Thoughts? Counter? Njoku over Engram?
Njoku > Engram but I’m holding
@MB: hmm, I was thinking of pulling the trigger!
Do it if you need a shake up. Brees is actually a really nice boost. Just hate to give up Ertz
Also, I originally didn’t know which Allen you were talking about. If it’s Keenan. Yes.
Jeffrey or Burton in flex .5 ppr
Jeffrey
Have Ito Smith as bench stash, 0.5 PPR. Drop for Ronald Jones or Derrick Henry, or hold? Don’t need anyone this week, but would have to start one of them wk 11 (Smith vDal, Jones @NYG, Henry vNE).
Hold
Snead, Anthony Miller, or Hogan ppr?
Tough call, leaning Hogan
Hey man – would you make a last minute swap of the Colts defense for Arizona? I’m in two 10 team standard leagues and have Colts in both leagues…thinking of diversifying and grabbing Arizona in one of those leagues who is at home against SF (& AZ put up 21 pts in SF previously)…
Yeah diversifying is never a bad idea. It should be a solid play
@Nick: FWIW I decided to go ARI for their success v SF at SF and in a hope the coaching shakeup directly or indirectly impacts the D too. Indy did great last week and has a hot mess opponent, but being in the road and a bad D in the real world has me feeling shy for fantasy.
My healthiest RB2 option (Carson) plays before Mack today (MCCOY is my emergemcy play but has to clear the protocol.
Would you go with Carson to be safe or count on Mack?
Thanks
I’d hate to sit Mack after what he’s been doing. Sounds like he’s playing
Hey please pick 2 out of these (one must be RB and it’s PPR) – Doug Martin, Crowell, Greg Olsen, Marvin Jones, Sammy Watkins?
Also, Cobb or Larry Fitz(PPR) ?
Thanks!
Crowell and Watkins. Fitz.
Morning MB, PPR flex spot – do I take out Chubb and replace with one of Mostert, Gabriel or Allison? Thanks!
I wouldn’t. Did I miss something?
No, I just wonder about Pittsburgh going up big and Chubb being fazed out. Shouldn’t overthink it, right?
That hasn’t happened between these two lately. Some pretty close games. Of course now that I say something they will get blown out haha. Yeah I’m playing Chubb. I believe that you are overthinking it.
Chubb, kerryon, Mack, breida
Not a terrible matchup in the bunch. Breida the most dangerous with the injury.
Pick two in a standard league.
Chubb and Kerryon
Djoku or J Cook at TE?
Jalen Richard or Taylor Gabriel at flex?
10 team std
Njoku and Gabriel. Close calls though.
Hey bud
Crowell,Carson or K Johnson
I need 2 in a ppr thanks
Whaddddup. Crowell and Kerryon
@MB:
Really even against Chicago D
Dolphins and Pats picked them apart so let’s not pretend they are world beaters. Frank Gore is 57 years old and ran for 100 yards on them
Morning man!
.5 ppr league am I over thinking things to bench OJ Howard to start ben Watson who faces vikes D who are weaker to opposing TEs- last week Jets TE got a TD & week prior seals jones had a solid game 69 receiving yards , ertz had a big game too, or go with Charles clay? I feel bills will be down & will be playing catch-up a ton on Monday & Derek Anderson May need to rely on clay.
— just worried on the rain cincy for the bucs / bengals game 41% chance of rain with 11 mph winds ,
Also wondering Tyler Boyd vs Doug Baldwin both at 1. Boyd has a chance of rain either way field will be wet, or Baldwin in the dome in Detroit who most likely gets teez tabor slay doesn’t get too much in slot
Lol the rams are killing me I need them to officially list kupp as inactive, kupp is in my IR but listed as doubtful now I can’t make any add drops until he’s “out” since and I don’t want to activate him my dropping a player
I’m going to luck on my side this week I’m already down 43-0 I faced the Watson owner
Thanks man
Yeah I’m not benching Howard. Also I’d roll with Baldwin!
@MB:
Ever have one of those weeks and it looks like a complete dumpster fire? Yeah that’s me!
Winston not bad / not great, it’s half time so I need him to throw more yards & TDs after the half & minimize mistakes
Kerryon Johnson dr jekel & mr Hyde last week great this week he’s done nothing & May cost me this week – the lions may abandon the run considering they are down by a lot
Doug Baldwin, what did Baldwin do to Russell Wilson? Seriously this is insane Ed Dickson, Tyler Lockett, Moore all have TDs except for Baldwin . As of now he only has 2 rec for 26 yards in the 3rd. Gross
Oj Howard has been invisible as well- at the half only 2 rec for 30 yards
What’s frustrating I benched ty Boyd for Baldwin & Boyd is going off on my bench.
So I’m 100% toast this week currently down 66-27. Opponent still has Diggs, brandin cooks, Jared cook, shady McCoy, rams D, will lutz. His d Watson already played & 43 pts
I have left: DJ, Hilton, Chris Hogan , Doug Martin, Pats D, mason Crosby.
Well Howard was good! Jameis might not even board the team jet
@MB:
Yes indeed – Howard was good so going forward I hope TB sticks with Fitzpatrick him & Howard seem to have a great connection
Going forward hold my Hogan or drop him for either Corey Davis , tajae sharpe, or Cole Beasley?
I’m 100% dropping Winston this upcoming waiver wire , who do you like best for week 9:
Stafford @ Minnesota
Dak Prescott home with his new toy amari Cooper vs titans
Or if Winston isn’t the starter going forward thoughts on adding Fitzpatrick who’s at Carolina.
I was 6-1 now falling to 6-2
Stafford against the beat up Vikings and yeah I guess Corey Davis
@MB: Khalil Mack is inactive for the Bears – do I play ARI DEF over CHI D?
Absolutely
16 team dynasty ppr.
Been offered trey burton, cordarrelle, 4th and 5th pick for my allison, LAC, 2nd and 3rd rd pick. My WRs are Julio, tyreek, Alshon, Baldwin, DT, curtis samuel. TEs are gronk, o’shaughnessy, ian Anderson, Mike Roberts. I’m worried about gronks back this year and him retiring in off season. Other def is WAS. There is no other DEF on the wire.
I like swapping wr depth for burton but think the rest of that deal is not in my favor.
Whatcha think mb?
I agree with you. I’m trying to get Burton, but the deal needs shifted around a bit
@MB: thanks mb.
Lineup question. .5 ppr. Fitz or cobb. Chubb or jalen?
Fitz and Chubb
12 team std:
Need one of
Gabriel Allison Godwin CThompson McCoy
16 team std
Need one of Barner Hines Duke
Gabriel
.5 PPR
Godwin @ Bengals or Geronimo at Rams at WR?
Richard, Chris Thompson or Josh Gordon in my FLEX?
Godwin
Is it time to drop Hyde? I have J. Doyle in FA and my TE position is switched every week.
for 2 QB 6 pt TD throws league, 12 teamer dynasty. i have rodgers, mahomes, rosen, brock lobster, drop brock for fitzmagic? daily FAAB WW so i can grab him tonight (and should if i’m going to).
@Eric the Waiter with Hands for Hands: ended up costing 45, i wasn’t willing to put that much up, the team who did clearly needed a QB bad (having only kessler/dak/hill, with tannehill on IR)
half PPR 12 teamer redraft.
QB RW3
RB (2) gurley, mixon, michel, barner, martin, barber
WR (2) jeffery, landry, hilton (about to lose for the 2nd time, mostly due to the weeks these 3 had), allison
TE (1) rudolph, doyle (well we saw doyle look good, sucks in about half the spots i have doyle i was able to keep him benched till he looked good, was one whole drive by himself, rudolph dropped after doyle’s week 9 bye)
1 flex
IR (1) kupp
might just be he wasn’t in shape all the way yet, but drop allison for any of: crowder, c.davis (he seems quite yuck though), dj moore, d.moore (SEA), parker. when michel’s back i can drop barner for somebody else, but should probably hold till then (or even after that maybe if barner is used a lot as insurance, will have an extra WR slot when i dump TE 2 in week 10). due to byes if kupp isn’t back in week 9 i’ll have to play allison.
Corey Davis and Parker are decent high ceiling adds.
12 team dynasty half PPR where receiving yards are 15 per point and rushing 10 per.
QB (1) wentz (grabbing carr or somebody for week 9)
RB (1) howard, drake, mack, barber, breida
WR (2) hopkins, thielen, jeffery, hilton, m.thomas, allison
TE (1) cook
1 RB/WR flex
1 WR/TE flex
IR (5) michel
guessing barber is the drop for this QB i need, also AAron jones is in FA.
I’d drop Barber for Aaron and Allison for a QB
