I have some spare time, let those fantasy questions rip...

[balli015]

I have a couple of positions I am not sure who to start, need some advise.  In a 10 team PPR league, have to start 2 RB and 3 WR plus a Flex.

In case you can't see my signature, my RBs are Robinson (Atl), Etienne, Williams (Den), Swift and Gainwell.  Out of Robinson, Etienne, and Swift, which two do you start? Neither of them have stellar match ups.  I wish Williams had been performing better to consider him because he has a great match up, but don't think I can trust that right now over these others.

 

My WR are: Hill, Meyers, Dell, Evans, Jeudy, Thomas (NO), Kupp...obviously Kupp is not an option and Tyree is a given, so which other 3 do you start?  I am leaning towards Meyers, Dell, and Evans (at flex)...but am considering swapping him with Thomas.  Or do I roll the dice with Williams (Denver RB) instead?

 

Just to round it out: my TE this week is Pitts, but I have Henry on the bench too.

8-team PPR

I give: Mark Andrews

I get: Deebo Samuel

I have Sam Laporta on my bench; looking for a way to get him into my lineup.

So Deebo has more value than Andrews and if getting him upgrades your WR core a bunch then the drop-off to LaPorta won't be a bad.

Hey balli,

Let's take a look...

At RB, you without hesitation start Robinson and Etienne.

WRs- Evans, Meyers and Thomas

Flex - Swift

TE- Pitts is right.

Hey @irish,

Need lineup help at QB and TE:

1) Burrow AT Titans OR Love vs Lions

2) Waller vs Seahawks OR LaPorta AT Packers

Thanks!

You need to sell Puka asap, especially with you already having Kupp. Get RB help that way!

Yeah that’s fair. my thought was the inverse, and to try to move Kupp for someone maybe a little more valuable, in the hopes of either a) Puka takes on a Woods-type role and still is startable weekly, or b) Kupp re-injures hammy (not that I ever root for this, that's f*cked up, but just from a fantasy strategic viewpoint). Are there any RBs you’d target with Kupp?

The problem is because of Kupp's current situation, you aren't going to get back his value. I think you can get more than Puka's true value right now, really last week.

I've got Watson in 3 ppr leagues.  Here are the scenarios:

League #1: 

• Start 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 Flex
• RBs: Henry, Sanders, K Williams (Ekeler on bench)
• WRs: C Watson, Lockett, M Thomas, E Moore

I think I'll be playing Watson here.  Will sit either Moore or Thomas on Sunday.  If Ekeler is a solid go, then I'll play all 4 RBs and Watson and Lockett.

What do you think?

League #2:

• Start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex
• RBs: Bijan, Z Moss, Pierce
• WRs: Higgins, Aiyuk, C Watson.

Who sits here?  Pierce? Aiyuk? Watson? Higgins?  I'm thinking to sit Watson on this one.

League #3:

• Start 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 Flex
• RBs: CMC, Mixon, Mostert
• WRs: C Watson, M Thomas, Hopkins, E Moore, Cooks

Starting the 3 RBs and Thomas and Hopkins.  I think I gotta go Watson over either Moore or Cooks.  What do you think?

Hey Don!

1- I'm starting Love

2- can't believe I'm saying it but LaPorta (Top 5)

@irish,

I know!  I have majority of others saying Burrow (like 70% to 30%).  Waller and LaPorta are a coin flip for me.  LaPorta has consistently improved each week but Waller has been almost non existent but is due.  I was leaning LaPorta but I am thinking Waller finally breaks out this week (i mean he gotta right? LOL)

[Dcat]

Hey Irish...  almost forgot this:

Jacobs @LAC
Mostert @ Buff
Moss v Rams
A Jones v Lions.

I'll be starting 3 of them.  Who sits this week?

[FinishTheDrill]

Hello!   

What a great day today.  My spider bite is down and almost gone, no signs of blood poisoning or necrosis.  No more itch or burning.  

SO I am in a deep superflex league and playing the 1st place guy tonight.   His WR and RB are far superior to mine.  

Tua, Kirk, Mahomes.  Starting Mahomes but... Tua or Cousins this weekend?  I have Tua in, since I am looking for upside.  

Right call?

WRs- Thomas and Hopkins

What the Hell?!?  You were bit by a spider?!?

I think I'd start Cousins along side Mahomes. Both should be solid though.

@irish

PPR SuperFlex Starters in bold

QB: Allen, Jones, Winston

RB: Ford, Robinson Jr, Swift, Mitchell, Spears

BONUS:

TWO PART TRADE

I give Robinson Jr/Spears

I get Javonte Williams/Eli Moore

THEN

I give Eli Moore

I get Gainwell

WAIVER

Drop Winston for Dowdle stash?

Other QBs on waivers are Mac, Ridder, Mayfield, Tannehill

Yeah, camping.  I saw it.  Neither a brown recluse nor a black widow.  I wasnt too cncerned but I did have a weird reaction to it.  All good.

Ya like cousins and Mahomes, huh?   Interesting.  Thanks!

If by Hill, you mean Tyreek, hell no!  I must've missed something. Thomas or Swift hit the bench.

Hey TGA,

I like your lineup the way it is. 

In regard to the trade, the Williams/Moore side is slightly better. 

However, I like Moore more than Gainwell. 

Drop Winston and get Mac.

One more Q.

I grabbed Kelley off waivers. Would you Flex him over Nico/Dell?

[Tropic Lunder]

@irish

gahd my team looking rough; final check on lineup for week 4 (PPR)

QB:

Fields or Jones?

RBs:

Jacobs

Kelley or Gainwell?

WRs:

Puka

Higgins

FLEXs:

Reed (already played, 10.5 pts)

Shaheed, Gainwell, Kelley, or Dotson?

Thanks for any and all input!

I'd play both Nico or Dell over Kelley, and probably Dell.  

[Gay4Clay52]

Happy Saturday Irish!

normally I wouldn't have to ask something like this but I blew it with having Aaron Jones in my lineup and Montgomery on my bench, along with the promise of Musgrave...

I need a ceiling play.  I've got Lawrence and Richardson.

Lawrence and the Jags have been lackluster at best.

Richardson is only coming off a concussion, not a physical injury.

 

you think I'm safe making the switch this week?

Hey G4C, happy Saturday is right!

Get Richardson in there for sure!
