What's everybody doing with any Bills and Titans players this week? Broncos/Patriots doesn't appear to be in much danger of not happening but the Bills/Titans game seems in legit jeopardy.


I've got both Allen and Henry. My opponent starts Tannehill so he's in a similar problem spot.

I've got Stafford as backup but he's on bye. I picked up Bridgewater who goes against Atlanta at 1pm Sunday. If the game gets postponed before 1pm Sunday then the choice is obvious, but my concern is what if it gets postponed late? Bridgewater has a great matchup, but Allen has been the #1 or #2 QB this year, just killing it every week so far.

Henry is in my flex spot. So I am weighing playing him and hoping the game gets played or going with Hollywood or Davante Parker.

Do I go all-in and leave both Allen and Henry in my lineup? Do I hedge and start one but not the other? Go conservative and start neither since I have pretty palatable backup options?

Had this last week when Chiefs Pats was in Jeopardy. You have to start a backup plan until come Sunday at 12:50pm it’s almost set in stone that the guys you’re worried about will play. They scheduled KC/NE for Monday and it seemed locked in so I stuck with Mahomes. But I put him back in my lineup right before the lock and noticed my opponent with Kelce and Burkhead was starting those guys.

Our league basically said treat Covid related issues like this as like having an injured played be a game time decision on Monday Night football. Its a tricky spot to be in.

I set the rules for my league that teams are designated two COVID-IR slots on their bench (we usually don't have IR spots). For any covid-potential game (i.e. KC-NE last week or TEN-BUF this week), you can designate a "backup" starter from your bench prior to the 1 pm games. If for some reason the TEN-BUF game is further postponed, your designated backup starter will be manually inputted in and his stats will count for the week. No additional bench spots will be added for teams. For games like PIT-TEN last week (where they just made it their bye week), you just have to make do.

 

It isn't perfect, but it's worked so far: no issues amongst league members or any issues with games but we'll see.

I also have Allen, but have Brees too. Tough call here, really not sure what to do other than hold out until a few minutes before kickoff Sunday. I hate this shit. It's complete garbage and why I considered not even doing fantasy this year. I'm 4-0 though, in 1st by a wide margin. But the pressure is on as my opponent overachieved last night both with Jones from TB and Graham from Chicago... down a cool 22-0 with the status of my starting QB uncertain. 

[You Play to Win the Game]

The guy i'm playing has DeAndre Hopkins, verse the Jets with that game in jeopardy. He doesn't have a WR on his bench currently. So I'm thinking I'll stick with Allen and hope for the best. We'll see what Sunday brings though.

Hollywood, Jefferson or Parker for WR2? Non-PPR.

Jefferson is my lean. I keep thinking Hollywood is due for a big game though. Parker very reliable for 6-8 points but low upside.

I am choosing between Parker and Hollywood myself but I would definitely go with Jefferson. Rotoworld really likes the matchup Jefferson has vs SEA.

 

I just don't think Brown is consistent enough to be trusted and Parker is MIA's bonafide #1 WR. He'll get his targets.

 

Now with Mostert back who do you go with, him or McKinnon?

[Mackus]

Broncos vs Patriots moved to next week. Gordon and Fant are probably the only playable guys on those teams, but a heads up for everyone.

[Mackus]

I'd go Mostert over McKinnon

[DuffMan]

Flex Spot  in a .5 ppr league

 

Greg Ward  for the Eagles against Pitt or a returning  Bell on a crappy Jets team?

[Mackus]

Bell. Joe checks down a lot plus hell definitely get carries.

[NewMarketSean]

Sounds like Mostert is playing but he'll definitely split time with McKinnon. It's really about who has the hotter hand. I guess I'll decide once inactives are released.

I did forget about the checkdown!

Hollywood, Jefferson or Parker for WR2? Non-PPR.

Jefferson is my lean. I keep thinking Hollywood is due for a big game though. Parker very reliable for 6-8 points but low upside.

Thats such a tough call. Hollywood has just been just missed on some deep balls. So he's due to connect for a big game like you said. But a low floor. Jefferson and Thelin are the only guys Cousins targets, but he only attempts like 25 passes a game. Parker is high floor low ceiling like you said. 

 

Weather looks to be a factor in Baltimore and Seattle, so maybe Parker is safe play. 

[NewMarketSean]

Marquise Brown or Chase Claypool?

 

Bridgewater or Minshew?

[Mackus]

Hollywood and reluctantly Minshew for me.

[DuffMan]

Cam Newton or Matt Stafford?

[NewMarketSean]

Cam Newton or Matt Stafford?

Newton but it's a toss up.

[DuffMan]

Wound up going with Stafford. We'll see how it shakes out.

[NewMarketSean]

It was the right decision.

I’m dropping Marquis Brown. He’s fantasy irrelevant.
