Our #2 has him locked week to week with no 3qb in a superflex, and now he;'ll be searchign the waivers for a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have the worst back up QBs in the league? Hurts everything both offensively and defensively. Drives won't be as sustained, lowering rushing yardage and putting the defense on the field more and possibly exposing that side of the ball. The passing game also steps down, however, with the Vikings likely winning, the 4th quarter catchup game could help the receivers and Pollard. Shultz/Jarwin could be leaned on as safety valves.

It smells like a Pollard play to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That was the feeling I was getting yesterday, while many seemed pretty certain he'd play it was sounding more questionable. Oh well, I'm not benching Amari Cooper this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Being the Sunday night game it's definitely too risky to start him. Besides the RBs I'd be pretty cautious. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32510909/dallas-cowboys-qb-dak-prescott-game-decision-snf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If you're sitting Zeke, Lamb, Cooper or somebody else you'd normally start that better be a pretty good player you're subbing in, especially for Zeke. Especially with it being a GTD on Sunday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I'm starting Jones over Dak in the guillotine league, not worth the risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Either way, I see a benefit to the TE. If a gimpy Dak plays, then he'll need to get rid of that ball sooner than later and I would expect his favorite check down options will benefit. If not, then the TE couold be the scattered QB's best friend. No hesitation to play Schlutzy. Pollard should be a very good play as well.

I put Jones in the lineup in case I forget to change the lineup. Its also guillotine, so of I see I'm good for the week of not being eliminated, I'm going with Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Dak had PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections yesterday, and this story says sources within the team say they are hopeful he can play tonight. It also points out that "hopeful" is not an official NFL injury designation https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dak-prescott-prp-injections-dallas-cowboys-hopeful-vikings-injury-calf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Is it messed up if I say I picked up Daniel Jones yesterday and dropped him today as my opponent has Dak and no one else at QB on his roster? Mahomes and Cousins are owned elsewhere. A Cowboys fan picked up Rush this morning, and Jones is now locked until Wednesday. He's now stuck with a 0 in the QB spot. He does have Elliott and Lamb going tonight. I still have Darrel Williams and G Joseph along with a 47 point lead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I just added rush in a 4 copy best ball league, figured why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
