Godwin, Pittman or Waddle? No PPR.

I’d go Godwin. Can’t play Waddle until Teddy or Tua are back.


.5 PPR: McKenzie at KC, Boyd at NO, Pickens vs TB
Leaning Pickens.

Pittman or Toney?  No-PPR.

Pittman not close

Pittman not close

 

Eagles have been tough on WR, Pittman has been disappointing most of the year, and Hardman & Smith-Schuster are both out for KC.  I've also got Taylor so a part of this is about diversification, don't wanna be too reliant on the Indy offense against Philly.  On the other hand, I'm the favorite so usually I go for the safer play in that scenario when I've gotta make a decision and that's definitely Pittman.

Made the playoffs!  This is a  .5 ppr league

 

Kittle on Thursday night or Hill Sunday against the Falcons.  Leaning towards Hill as Kittle has been quiet most of the season and I hate the Thursday night games.

 

Peoples Jones playing against the Ravens or DJ Chark against the Jets.  Putting my Raven fandom aside I'm leaning towards Peoples Jones.   I could play both and bench a slumping Mike Evans but I'm not sure I want to do that as my opponent is currently planning to start Brady.

Are you the favorite or the dog?

 

I'd probably go Hill anyways, but if you're the underdog then I'd take on more risk for a higher reward, and that's also Hill.

Purdy and Thursday night are both negative factors for Kittle. Hill is boom or bust. Hill did have one of his better games this year against Atlanta.

I’d lean Chark TBH, but that’s a tough call. With Jameson Williams finally on the field for the Lions, and ARSB their #1, it’s not like Chark will be going up against Sauce. Peoples-Jones will see more targets and had a good game against Baltimore earlier in the year. Tough call.

Congrats on the playoffs. Should be fun.

Just curious, who won the league last year Duff?

[Old Man]

So I had to park Lamar when he got hurt, picked up White and he was doing well for me, and now he is hurt.

 

I picked up Flacco and will role with him for now.

Who else is available in your league?

Nobody much, its a full league, which really hurts on available players and as the season has worn on, QBs are going down, right and left.

Blind Squirrels.  He actually missed the playoffs this year which is a rarity for him.  I used to work with him before he retired.  Good guy, he's been playing fantasy sports forever.  He was playing even before the internet was around.

Went with Hill hence the early td from Kittle tonight

[You Play to Win the Game]

Jesus Duff. I’m sorry man. Let’s hope for a big game from Hill.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Thursday road game. But what we didn’t realize was Purdy was the new Tom Brady. Dudes rocking a 142.1 passer rating.

[DuffMan]

It's all good. I start him and Kittle probably has 20 yards total for the night. Such is Fantasy Football. I still like my chances this weekend so we'll see what happens

[Mackus]

Would anyone start either Evan Engram (@NYJ) or Dawson Knox (@Chi) over Darren Waller (@Pit)?  No-PPR.  I have Josh Allen so potential for double-dip.

 

Think I'm just gonna roll with Waller.  He only had 50% of the snaps last week but I think they were easing him in.

[NewMarketSean]

I went 13-1 and had the bye. My WR have been mediocre all year. Still, they have put up solid numbers more than not.

 

I'm rolling with Jeudy, JuJu and need a 3rd out of Chark, Aiyuk or Zay Jones.

 

Leaning toward Chark since the Lions offense is on fire and he has been good up until he was covered by Sauce last week and had just 2 targets and 1 catch. I'd start Zay Jones since the Jags offense is also red hot but he is facing Sauce this week.

 

Aiyuk has also been a solid guy all year until Garapolo got hurt. Now he just gets like 3-4 looks a game.

 

Any thoughts?

[You Play to Win the Game]

Tossup between Chark and Jones. In addition to the Sauce factor, it's also Thursday Night on the road for Jacksonville in cold weather. JAX is 2-5 on the road, with a notably less efficient offense to go with their already bad defense.

 

Chark will be in an offense with lots of options but facing a Carolina defense that is middle of the pack.

 

Aiyuk is in a TE/RB dependent offense right now, and going against a top 5 defense/top 8 passing defense in the Commanders this week. I think that'll likely be a low scoring affair. 

 

I don't want to pick. Tossup between Chark and Jones though, for me. Jones production seems real, but this is a tough week due to those factors. If it wasn't, I'd start Jones.
