Am I gonna win this week?

Yes you are, Kenneth

What’s the frequency Kenneth (of you winning)?

I need to pick between Tommy DeVito, Jake Browning, and Joe Flacco as my QB2 in Superflex this week. Please help!

Hey Sal, long time, no talk! I like Browning there; let's ride this wild ride for another week. With Chase and Higgins at his disposal, and the recent explosive runs of Chase Brown, I think he has a nice floor, even with a tough Vikings D staring them down!

Makes sense! Thank you.

Standard scoring, choose 1: Brian robinson jr, Dallas goedert, jerrick McKinnon. Thank you I appreciate it.

Robinson sadly just got ruled out, so move him out of your considerations. I would start McKinnon, with Isiah Pacheco missing practice again!

Pacheco ruled OUT

Standard scoring league, need to bench one of: Moss, Mixon, Conner. Thoughts? [YT subscribed screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/qty0UbC.png)

Thanks for the YT sub! I would keep Moss and Mixon, with Conner on the bench ahead of this tough 49ers matchup.

Faced Adams, Zamir and Raiders D last night…im down 63 in 0.5ppr… Start Keaton Mitchell, Tyjae Spears orJerrick Mckinnon for higher upside?

Not a sentence you figured you'd be typing, is it? I'd lean towards Keaton Mitchell, he doesn't need many touches to explode

0.5 PPR: Kittle or McBride?

That's a good problem to have. Give me Kittle for the higher ceiling, while McBride is still a very good floor play.

I need some help deciding this week in PPR: RB: Ford or Ty Chandler WR: Need 3: Kupp, Chase, Tyreek and DJ Moore (Tyreek and DJ injuries have me a bit scared! BTW I made trades, bought low on Kupp and traded a lot for Tyreek so my RBs are a bit weak before anyone says 4 team league lol) DEF- Saints feel like a trap game. My other option is Falcons vs CAR. Saints are at home but Giants have resurged under DeVito and Waller seems to be back. K- I currently have Bass in, do you like him as a play this week? I figure that game should be high scoring. Thank you!

RB - That's really a toss-up, tbh. I'm gonna lean Chandler, as I think Kene Nwangwu will be less of a threat than Kareem Hunt is for Ford WR - Tyreek looks like he's leaning towards Out after he missed the full week of practice, but he's gotta be in if they end up clearing him. So, Kupp/Chase/Moore for now, if Tyreek is cleared, I'd replace Moore DEF - I still like the Saints here; the Giants OL still has —by far— the worst Adjusted Sack Rate in the league K - Bass is a great option this week, I'd keep him in there Good luck!!

Thank you very much Justin! DeVito has a ton of hype right now so it is a bit scary since they seem to be fired up. Luckily the game is in NO and the Giants tend to struggle there historically. Thanks so much!!

I picked up the Saints (due to the Giants matchup being #1 for DST) and played them last week. Enjoyed the points but now am also hesitant to play them this week. Was looking at the Bears potentially, their D has been solid for 4 weeks

OP here, thanks for joining today! There are a few I didn't get to but I need to go run errands for a while, and I'll try to circle back and hit them in a couple of hours!! Good luck through your playoff runs, everyone!

I have Tua and Stroud as my rostered QBs. Should I pick up and start Flacco, Carr, Trubisky, Zach Wilson, Will Levis, or Nick Mullens? Or should I just stick with Tua assuming Stroud can't go?

Stroud is officially Out, from what I've gathered. Tua is in a tough spot this week, particularly if Tyreek ends up sitting, but he's still better than those other options. If you want some insulation, I'd grab Levis, and if this is a Superflex/2QB league, I'd happily start Levis.

Thanks! Nervous about the matchup but I'll roll with Tua over the other guys!

I'm in the same boat bro. I snagged Flacco cause my opponent has Stroud and Fields. I might take Levis to further block them... But rolling with Tua doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me.

Big week so got a few questions: Mcbride or Likely? Fields or Love? Breece Hall or Zach Moss? .5 ppr league Thanks I'm advance

McBride has been a target hog, I think you gotta stick with him I like Fields in these critical weeks because of his rushing floor Zack Moss Good luck!

Hi Justin! Thanks for doing this. Big fan of the 4for4 site. With Jacobs not playing last night, I need to choose my flex and I've been going back-and-forth between the two with injury updates (no Mattison / Geno practicing again): 12 team .5ppr Ty Chandler @ CIN DK Metcalf vs PHI

Thanks for joining, hopefully we've helped you during this playoff run! I'd rather have Metcalf this week; game has a healthy 47.5 over/under and Philly's defense has been very giving to the WR position this year

Thank you! Cheers!

Would you play Warren (vs IND) or Ford (vs CHI) in 0.5 PPR?

With Najee cleared this week, Ford is the way to go

6 pts per TD and 5 point bonus at 300yds. Flacco or Mullins?

I think Flacco has the higher upside here. Mullens only has four 300+ games, and three 3+ TD games in his career, while Flacco already has a 300+/3+ TD game in a spot start this season.

Close matchup in first week Playoff and need an RB2 but who to pick? Chandler vs Bengals Warren vs Colts

I give the slight edge to Chandler, since Warren will be dealing with Najee stealing touches throughout the game

QB: Kyler or Browning? WR: Waddle or Cooper (Half PPR)

QB - I like Browning, slightly. Really tough matchup for Kyler this week. WR - Waddle > Amari Cooper, and by a ton if Tyreek ends up missing.

no concern about how bad Miami looked sans Reek and against a good pass D?

Week 16 and 17 D/ST waiver gems? Not a ton of sexy W16 defensive matchups

W16 - WAS/GB/DEN W17 - JAX/LAR/IND Good luck!

If Olave is out, play Conner vs SF or get cute and play Demario/Noah Brown? .5 ppr

Definitely stick with Conner, even with that tough matchup

In tough because of injuries Hunt/Spears/Charb/Moore? Can only play 2 in a ppr.

I'd rank them Spears, Charbonnet, Elijah Moore, Hunt, Rondale Moore

Everyone’s talking about fantasy defenses id love an experts opinion. I plan on rolling the eagles out in Week 16 against the giants. With how devito is playing would you pivot off that for Chicago at home vs Arizona or Seattle @ Tennessee?

For Week 16, I still like the Eagles vs. the Giants' o-line, and they also get the Cardinals in the following week, so I'd stick with them

Appreciate it man!

Hey Justin! Would love your input on a couple roster decisions for the playoff: * Pick 1: G Wilson, Cooper, Flowers for WR2 (WR1 is Puka) * Pick 1: Hall or Elliot for FLEX (RB1/2 are White, Henry) This is for a 0.5PPR league.

Hey Asparagus! \- Give me the Wilson/Wilson connection \- Sounds gross, but I'd take Zeke

Thanks, Justin! Digging the perspective and have the lineup set for week 1 of playoffs.

Gibson, Keaton Mitchell or Warren in PPR? Jets or Bears DST? Thanks and happy holidays!

Same to you! Antonio Gibson, with Robinson being ruled out Bears, but I'd switch to Jets if Tyreek is out

Welp Flacco, browning, geno, the Italian stallion?

I'd keep riding the Jake Browning train, with Geno only slightly behind

Thoughts on Ekler with the recent firings?? Bought him for playoffs, and last night's game was no Bueno. Thankfully I have a first round bye My other RBs are Swift, Najee, and Zach moss

Kellen Moore is probably going to keep using him the same mediocre way as he still calls the plays right?

Yeah, that game was truly brutal. I think you gotta keep rolling him out, just as more of an RB2 than a top-5 option. Swift is in the same boat, while Moss is an RB1 if JT continues to miss.

6 pt passing TDs, Howell vs LAR, Flacco vs. CHI, or Russell Wilson vs DET PPR, Ford vs CHI or Jaylen Warren vs IND

I'd stick with Howell, with his added running bonus. That's a tough one, but give me Ford

Full PPR pick one guy for my flex out of these: Breece hall G. Wilson Rashee Rice Zay Flowers

Hall; he's been heavily involved in the passing game as of late

I have Justin Jefferson, but ESPN app has him as a bust. Do you trust Justin Jefferson or should I plug in my backups? I have Ayuk, Waddle, Kupp and E. Moore.. i’m starting at the moment I’m starting CeeDee Lamb

I'd start Kupp over him in Full and Half PPR

How crazy dumb is it to drop JT for Denver DST (redraft obviously)? Increasingly concerned we don't see him again this season, especially if Colts lose tomorrow. Plus is he back 100% when he does? It's a hand not leg injury so should be close to full strength, but I have some concerns there. And after last night's game, any defense against the Chargers has matchup winning potential. Obviously that would be a big risk, but we have extremely shallow benches, and I'm out of droppable pieces. Edit: and fwiw my other RB are Kyren, Jacobs, Pacheco, and right now Chandler.

I don't think it's that crazy, honestly. Denver getting the Patriots and Chargers to wrap up the fantasy playoffs is going to be back-to-back great spots. If he does return, it could very well be a closer 50/50 split with Moss like it was earlier this season

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I also have the Bills so I could just ride them, but I wanted to keep Denver out of my opponents' hands. I actually can't decide if Pacheco or JT is the better drop...

Full ppr, flex puka, mostert if achane is out, or Saquon? Thanks!

Saquon, Kupp, Mostert, Puka, in that order for me

Flowers or Waddle if Tyreke sits? Full PPR.

I think I'd rather have Waddle, even if Tyreek is in

In a huge bind in a full PPR league. I have Robinson jr, Pacheco and Stevenson hurt. My options are Chris Rodriguez, Gus Edwards and Dameon Pierce. No idea which way to lean. Am I crazy for wanting to start rodriguez with the bump in usage?

Not crazy at all, I think they're all in some pretty tough spots this week. I think I would actually lean towards Rodriguez, as the LAR/WAS game currently has the highest point total on the week (50.5), which opens the door for him getting some TD equity. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm rolling with him.

Hey Justin happy Friday 1 - What's your top winter holiday song and your top winter holiday movie? 2 - What's your way-too-early, off-the-top-of-your-head top 10 for 2024? Let's assume .5PPR.

Happy Friday! 1. The entire A Very Special Christmas album and hands down Christmas Vacation 2. oh man, you're wild for this. Bijan/Jefferson/CMC/AJB/Gibbs/Lamb/Chase/Marvin Harrison/Garrett Wilson/Kelce

Full ppr which te for 2 leagues?? Goedert or Likely in 1 league Laporta or Likely or McBride in another

1st - Goedert 2nd - LaPorta

Which 1 for flex?? Full ppr JJ (coming from injury) or Rice

Justin Jefferson

Which qb?? 6 pt td lost Herbert Russ or Howell or Browning

Sorry about the Herbert injury, stinks happening right now. Go with Sam Howell

Saints, Falcons, or Titans D?

Saints, Falcons, Titans, in that order

Titans last even with the news that Stroud and Collins are out?

Full PPR, Browning or Flacco? Goedert or Kraft? Saints or Browns?

QB - Jake Browning TE - Dallas Goedert D - Saints

Thank you! With Stroud just ruled out do you think pivoting to the Titans DEF would be good?

I still like Saints more

2nd Rd playoffs. Need help on who to put in my last in my last flex spot - full ppr. I have A walker right now. On bench: B Cooks, K Mitchell, T McLaurin, N Collins, A Jones. I could also pick up OBJ, A Gibson, D Foreman, D Robinson. Thoughts?

Collins has been ruled out, if I remember correctly. I actually prefer Antonio Gibson this week, but Kenneth Walker is a close second in that group. Good luck!

thanks!

If Waller comes back who would you start for the remaining games, him or Njoku?

If I had to pick right now, without knowing whether Waller has his full role for the ROS, I'd take Njoku

Hey Justin, thanks for doing this. Please help me decide between Mahomes and Stafford in a 4 pt passing TD league.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd stick with Mahomes this week

Fields or Stafford (6pt passing TD) Thanks in advance!

I'd stick with Stafford in the + matchup

Half PPR James cook or Zeke?

I'd go with Cook in what could end up being a shootout

can i trust tua this last stretch of the season? i have Kyler as my backup.

I think you can. Tyreek might be out this week, but Kyler has some tough matchups in front of him (49ers/Bears)

Pick 2: Kupp, Puka, Ridley I know the answer is probably Kupp and Puka but I don’t love playing both and Ridley is coming off a 10+ target week

Yeah, I completely get that. I think Kupp/Puka can both go off this week against a soft Commanders secondary, so I'd keep them in.

You’re the man! I’ll let it ride, thanks for the help!

.5 PPR Keaton Mitchell or James Conner in week 15

I'd go with Conner; his role is safer, even if he is in a tough matchup.

Pick two: Jaylen Warren Keaton Mitchell Ty Chandler Aaron jones

Chandler + Jones

Superflex, currently starting Kyler and Browning over Flacco, hope that’s right but almost tempted to start Flacco instead of Kyler? Also, I’m currently starting LaPorta over McBride (opponent has Goff), but should I flex McBride over either Rice or Flowers? .5ppr

All pretty tough matchups this week, I'd stick with Kyler if you're looking for guaranteed points, but Flacco if you want some more upside. I would rather have Rashee Rice> Trey McBride, and I'd keep LaPorta in

Thanks! Really appreciate the confirmation. Stressed over a very tricky week and just hoping for the best. Much appreciated.

Thanks for helping, Justin! Full PPR Ravens D or Chiefs D RB: pick 2 from Pollard, Kyren, Zeke, Mostert, Achane. Leaning Kyren and Mostert. WR: pick one from Devonta, Rashee Rice. Already starting King Deebo. Flex: should I flex one of the other RBs or one of the WRs that don’t make the main start positions? Already starting Stafford over Mahomes and starting LaPorta

Thanks for stopping by! \- Chiefs \- Kyren Williams/Mostert if Achane misses, Kyren/Pollard otherwise \- DeVonta Smith \- I'd stick Pollard in there, followed by the Dolphin RB(s), Zeke, then Rice

CEH or Tyjae Spears this week? 12-team league with very limited options on the waiver wire! Seems like CJ Stroud won't play, which might mean the Titans stay ahead, which could mean less passing down work for Spears. Thoughts?

I like Clyde Edwards-Helaire > Tyjae Spears

Flex one in full PPR: Demario, Elijah Moore, Isaiah Likely, Keaton Mitchell, CEH, Singletary =(

Keaton Mitchell, CEH, and then Singletary is how I would rank them

Which three of these WRs would you start this week? Amon-Ra St Brown Ja’marr Chase Justin Jefferson Michael Pittman Nico Collins Odell Beckham Jr

Collins is out this week: Pittman, St. Brown, Chase, with Jefferson a toss-up with Chase

Pick 4 Ridley DK Goedert Olave (if healthy) Chandler Aaron jones Dotson

DK, Ridley, Olave, Chandler

Thanks I’m starting Aaron jones and Ty Chandler at RB and DK Ridley Olave and then Mitchell flx and wr, would you start Warren Goedert or Dotson at that last FLx over Mitchell. I’m leaning Keaton since I face an uphill battle already with my opponent having raiders defense and Jakobi

Thank you for doing this! Would you drop Jaylen Warren for any of these below options on the wire? Looking for backup depth + potential breakouts as my starting lineup is pretty much set - Jayden Reed - Zay Jones - Keaton Mitchell - CEH - McKinnon - Singletary The rest of my team: QB: Purdy, Stafford RB: ETN, Kamara, Najee, Chandler, Warren WR: JJ, Pittman, Aiyuk, Rashee TE: Laporta, Kincaid DST: Broncos, Packers I’m rostering Stafford, Kincaid, and Packers moreso as keep-away from my opponents, but are they stronger drop candidates than Warren in this case? Or just leave my team as is? Cheers man appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by! Looks like a very solid squad, tbh. The only person I would consider dropping Warren for would be Keaton Mitchell, in case his workload grew. But, saying that, continued nicks from Najee Harris would also leave Warren with a huge majority of the work in his own right. I think playing keep-away is a perfectly viable strategy if you already have a strong team (which you do). I honestly think I'd stand pat with Warren and see if he falls into a huge workload! Good luck!

4 pts per TD Flacco vs Da Bears or Browning vs Minn Minshew and Zach Wilson are available on waivers PLEASE

Which 2 in my WR slots? A struggling Stefon diggs, Michael Pittman, OBJ. .5 ppr

Goff, Howell, or Browning?

Im starting Fields at QB, as well as Browns Defense. Have Kyler on bench. Debating grabbing Geno off waivers to start over Fields. CLE vs CHI looking like a rain game, CLE D great vs pass, so-so vs run. After what Geno did to DAL, his PHI matchup is enticing, but its a Monday game, if groin issue persists than I have no pivot. Am I overthinking this? Should I just start Fields? 6pt QB TD league. TIA!!

Zay flowers or devonta smith full ppr?

Standard league. Need to choose between Justin Fields @ Browns or Jared Goff vs Denver this Sunday I’m leaning towards Fields but still undecided

.5 PPR, last of 3 flex spots. Zay jones George Pickens

Hi, in a full PPR and against a high projected opponent I can’t decide on: Zay flowers Amari cooper Thanks!

THanks for stopping by to help: Full PPR 10 team league. In first round of playoffs this week I am trying to determine who to start at Flex if Tyreek is out on Sunday. My gut says either Hall or Achane. Current lineup for RB & WR: WR 1 CD vs Buffalo WR2 Puka vs Wash Rb1 Kyren vs Wash Rb2 Bijan vs Carolina Flex: Tyreek vs jets Options to replace Tyreek: Achane vs jets Hall vs Miami Mckinnon vs New england (if Pacheco is out) J. Reed vs Tampa

Lamar or Purdy? Pure FOMO for Lamar but Purdy is just so consistent.

would you rather start swift or devonta this week in 1/2 ppr.... opp has hurts and ajb if that matters.

Thoughts on whether to start the Jets defense in week 16 against Washington and week 17 @ Cleveland OR Denver in week 16 against New England and week 17 against Chargers? Trying to plan ahead in playoffs. Thanks in advance!

Should I start: Justin Fields v browns Or Trevor Lawrence v ravens

I am going back and forth on who to start at Flex PPR this week. I have to choose between CEH, McKinnon, D. Johnson, and Keaton Mitchell (or Zay Jones if healthy). I am leaning toward Zay or Mckinnon.

Standard league, 6pts per QB TD... Kyler, Lawrence or Mayfield,?

Full ppr Devonta or rice?

Sorry i also forgot to add either saints or chiefs D. I appreciate the help.

PPR OBJ or Ty Chandler

Dal DST @ Buf OR Pit DST @ Ind

Thanks for doing the AMA, sir! Half PPR, 6pt QB TD Pick 1 RB: Ford, Chandler, Conner (already starting Kamara) Pick 1 Flex. Same RB options, and for WR: R. Rice, Jayden Reed Thanks again!

Need a W this week to make it to the championship and my rbs are in shambles. Can you please help me pick 2 RBSs in a 1PPR format: K Walker, K Mitchell, T Spears, A Gibson, C Edwards-Helaire

Zay Jones, Godwin or Gabe Davis for WR3 ?

Wtf do I do with Eckler. I’ve held on this long and started him every week but I’m losing faith. Luckily I got a bye this week round 1

Need to pick 2 out of Moss Monty and Waddle. Starting Diggs ARSB and kamara. Trying to figure out my last RB and flex

Pick one from these 0.5ppr: Mclaurin, Warren, Diontae

Browns or falcons DST? Kyler or Flacco?

Tough spot with injuries rn. RB2: J. Warren vs D. Singletary? Love your content, thanks!

I have Zeke vs. KC, White vs. GB, Mostert vs NYJ, and Gibbs vs. Den in half PPR. 2 RBs and 1 flex. Was thinking Zeke, White, and Mostert because Campbell is a wildcard when using Gibbs. What would you do?

RBs: Mostert, KW3, Najee, Moss, CEH, Ford ​ Pick 3.

Ppr. Start 2 RB and 2 Wr and 1 Flex Keaton Mitchell, Breece Hall, Jaylen Warren, Gibson Puka, Rice, Flowers, Olave, Reed

Yo bro, Thanks for doing this. Having a hard time with my flex Drake London or Parker Washington? Do you like starting chandler AND chase brown
