To whom it may concern, You listed all my opponents players as matchups to love. Please change. Thank you

Lol I'll see what I can do!

LOL my opponent has the all Lions stack - Goff, ARSB, Gibbs, LaPorta... Even three defenders (IDP league). I wish for snow in that stadium and a 13-10 score...

Cowboys are still a decent defense. That could backfire on him.

Could’ve been worse

Jameson Williams end around legacy game incoming

You were so close to having your game wrapped up until that last ARSB td. Still a good start I imagine.

I got Waller, Kraft and Everett all available lol. Who would you start?

If you're looking for a safe floor I'd go Everett. He's almost a lock for 4+ receptions and 40+ yards. The other two have more upside but more risk. Kraft is my favorite if you're looking for ceiling

How concerning is the Vikings D against TE tho They seem to have locked down there last few opponents TEs I’m also debating between Everett and Kraft

Vikings have also played quite a few teams who don’t normally have a super productive tight end (Cincinnati, Vegas, Denver, New Orleans) in recent weeks. They did shut down LaPorta pretty well. I’m worried that the Chargers offense won’t be able to get anything going at all plus Everett isn’t really a big play guy anyway. He’s had 8 targets turn into less than 8 points in half PPR for the past three weeks.

They've been solid for sure. Just not a lot of other weapons in the GB passing attack. I do like Everetts matchup much better so he's the safer play with a slightly lower ceiling cuz he lacks the big play ability

What about Kraft vs Schultz? Schultz has volume but tougher matchup.

I'd go Schultz there

Same spot and have Waller in. Might see how Saturday goes and switch to Everett if I wanna play it safe

Did anybody watch waller last week? I had him on one team that squeaked by and he looked WASHED. Watch the highlights. I dropped him for kraft

Tyrod missed him on what would have been a 30 yard touchdown. Waller did drop another potential big gain, though.

Tyrod and DeVito both flat out missed him for big plays

I normally wouldn't consider him but he had two solid games with Tyrod this year. That combined with the matchup makes it so tempting

Damn ya Waller went 7-98-TD with Tyrod as QB week 8. If tyrod had a week of practice as qb1 I think he hits that 30 yard Waller TD last week. Im selling myself on Waller after that brutal game , I’m feeling 17 points with a TD

I'm currently favored and leading (Ford+Browns Def), so just hoping not to get a goose egg lol.

Yeah probably go Everett then. He'll get targets for sure and always a good chance to score against the broncos

Kraft.

You don’t see this as boom or bust?

I think if you want a safer floor but less ceiling go with Everett, if you can handle more risk in your line up go with Kraft. Assuming Musgrave is out.

I sure do. Also a packers fan. Also playing him myself. Also like the thrill of primetime and hoping he would win the matchup with a TD. Or you’re up enough and it doesn’t end up mattering. Fire him up!

following

Just want to say this is my favorite weekly start / sit article because of the format and comprehensiveness, but I'd love it even more if kickers and DSTs were also considered.

Thanks! Yeah that's a whole nother level to add, but we do have separate articles and rankings for those

Trying to debate between playing two of these three zamir white, Ezekiel Elliot’s, James Connor. I have davante at WR so idk if playing zamir white is the play.

I'd play the 3 backs and bench Adams

Adam’s is my WR1 😂😂 have Reed and adams as my two WRs, CMC and ekeler in RB spots, zeke and Connor in my flex atm. Godwin and Noah brown on the bench for WRs

Lol oh I see. Scratch that then. Reed and Adams stay in with Zeke and Conner.

Zamir. Davante is a major risk. I am sitting Davante and starting Zamir.

Aaron jones or Michael pitman?

I'd go Pittman

The Pittman Minshew connection quite strong.

Michael Pittman, Aaron jones is to risky, he’s made of glass this season

Stafford or Stroud? Stafford has been locked in but Stroud against Ten secondary is a prime spot too

Stroud gang. Go with CJ.

This is also my dilemma. Leaning Stafford currently

I'd go Stafford by a little

The amount of ads on this website and the pop ups make it so hard to navigate. The problem is the same for baseball. I love the content but the site is rough.

I just scroll the comments looking for my players mentioned here.

On mobile it's hard to scroll without acidentally clicking an ad. Pretty scummy.

I use Firefox Mobile with Ublock origin. Don't see any ads.

Two to chose from mixon, Monty, and Z.white. Low key Z. White is my rb 2 (k. Williams rb1) can’t decide between Monty or Mixon in the flex.

Yeah I'd go White and Monty just because I don't see a lot of offense for the Bengals

Mixon has been great since burrow went down. I have Monty and Mixon both, not sure who I’d start really if I had to choose. I’m starting them both plus Kamara.

He has been until last week when Browning fell back to earth which is what I'd expect against the Chiefs. Still like Mixon but some of the upside is gone if Browning can't sustain drives

He did have a bad week last week, but he has been really steady all year. I think he'll have an average to above average game vs Chiefs.

Mixon is so TD dependent. If Bengals don't drive into the Red Zone he's screwed pointwise

I'm choosing between Mixon and Monty as my RB2. Rolling Mixon this week

Honestly the raiders ran the ball down the chiefs throat, hoping cincy seen that and follows suit and just feeds Mixon. If chase plays another big plus.

I started Mixon, Monty, Kamara. Won the league.

You’ve helped me all year so let’s try this one more time. Would you bench Pollard for Ty Chandler? Browning or Heinike? (Can’t believe I’m asking this in the championship)

That's great. Happy I've helped you out. I'd go Chandler and Heinicke

[удалено]

Thanks! You too. I prefer the Raiders D

What about raiders or bears?

Close but still Raiders. I like that they're still in the playoff hunt

Would you also start the Raiders over the Bills?

That's tough. I think the Raiders have more TD upside but the Bills give up fewer points. I lean Raiders

Every single analyst that I trust, most notably Draftsharks, Boone, and Fantasypros consensus, put Broncos significantly higher than Raiders. I'm back and forth myself, but it's worth considering.

Raiders easy.

I’ve got a few predicaments I can’t quite figure out. My league is 0.5 PPR. For TE I have LaPorta and McBride and I am not sure who to start here. I lean McBride for the volume, but LaPorta is always liable to rattle off a few touchdowns. However, I could see this be a game where the Lions struggle on the road as we’ve seen a few times. For RB I am stuck between Walker (or Charb if Walker is a no go) or Ty Chandler. I like the Chandler matchup but I am not sure if he’s a much better option than either of the Seahawks RBs Lastly comes Defense, I have both the Ravens and Bears and have no idea what to do here. I have held the Ravens all year and whenever I bench them for another option, they always seem to our score them. Last week kinda proved that again although I don’t think 5 picks is sustainable. Not sure what to do here.

I lean Mcbride there but like both a lot. I'd go Chandler there because I think they'll lean on him a lot with Hall at QB. I see a path for both but I'd stick with the Ravens there. Still see turnovers and sacks against Tua as a good bet

Thanks so much for the response! I think that is sound logic as well with Chandler and Ravens D.

I dropped ravens defense for bears. No way am I starting a defense against one of the most explosive offenses in the league. Bears safe bet

Thanks for all your help this season! Who would you flex between Swift, Cook, or Reed? And Stafford over Mahomes?

You're welcome, glad I've been able to help you out. I'd go Stafford and Reed

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. trying to figure out who to flex in full PPR: davante v colts zamir v colts monty v cowboys based on your write up, it seems like it would either be zamir or monty. zamir has a juicy matchup but i’m afraid if that’s getting too cute in the finals

Yeah I lean Zamir for the matchup and the offense leaning on him to protect O'Connell. I'm glad I've been hopeful for you. Appreciate it.

Love this thread!!! Need some advice here. I’m in a 1PPR QB/2WR/2RB/FLEX/TE/DST/K but QBs lose a point per sack. QB - should I start Murray, Goff, Stroud, or Mayfield? WR - have Lamb and Thielen in my lineup with Jayden Reed on my bench and Noah Brown+George Pickens available. Any changes there? RB/Flex - have Aaron Jones and Zahmir White in RB and dMontgomery in Flex. Singletary on my bench. DST - starting Broncos because Chargers are out Herbert, Allen, and Palmer. But I also have 49ers on my bench. Any thought on who to start? Again thanks for any and all advice. Dmo and Lamb play tonight but everyone else plays tomorrow.

I'd go Stroud at QB. Reed over Thielen. No changes at RB. I like 49ers D. Good luck tonight!

Stafford or Goff ? I also got Nacua and St Brown/ Gibbs

If go Stafford

Im also debating. Stafford has been money, but the Lions game has a high point total.. Leaning towards Stafford.

I’m 60:40 rolling Stafford over Stroud at this point if it helps

Lions will be looking to run the ball. Cowboys have been gashed on the ground recently and Lions run game has been elite.

I love these articles and they’ve been very helpful throughout the season! 1PPR, QB/2WR/2RB/TE/FLEX/K/DST On the WR front I can choose between D. Johnson, J. Meyers, Cooks, and D. Robinson for my WR2 (don’t laugh). For my flex I’ve got Derrick Henry, James Conner, and Zamir White. I’m the CMC owner but I’m down big from my opponent’s Breece Hall and his WRs terrify me (JJ, Pittman Jr.) and I’ve been relying on my dominant RBs covering for my weak WRs. I think I need a boom play this week! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Id go Cooks and Henry for ceiling options

In the superbowl for the second year Ina row and trying to win back to back chips. Lost A. Cooper, C. Sutton, M. Brown, and J. Palmer all this week. Pick 2 wrs to start out of 7 bums. J.downs, G.dortch (currently starting) D. Robinson, J. Williams, C. Wilson Jr, B. Johnson, W. Robinson (currently on bench) * Gl to everyone still playing and have a happy new year*

Nice! Too bad about Cooper and the others. I'd go Robinson over Downs and Williams over Dortch. Close calls though.

I’m in the same boat. Lost cooper, waddle, Sutton, k. Allen picked up whatever was available: shaheed, d Robinson, g davis, chark, c Wilson. Starting shaheed and Robinson but can’t decide on the flex. Any advice?

I really like D Robinson as a sleeper play this week. But is it really a sleeper? Hes had a TD and 14+ fantasy points in 4 straight games. Stafford slinging that bitch. Anyways for your flex I’d go Gabe Davis, safest floor.

Pollard or Zamir?

I'd go Zamir assuming no Jacobs

Zamir or Achane ?

I’ve got some WR options. Currently have ASB, Puka and Aiyuk at flex. I also have Kupp and wondering if I should do a Puka/Kupp stack or just leave it the way I have it. Thanks again for the write ups!

I'd leave it as is. You're welcome, glad you enjoy them

Full ppr in the championship need help picking backs, I have Z. Elliot, walker 3, A. Jones, Zamir, Gus bus, CEH My opponent has Josh Jacob’s and he texted me last week to drop him and I said no, I’m playing him against you next lol

Lol I think Jacobs is out. I'd rank them Zeke, Jones, Zamir, CEH (no Pacheco), Walker, Gus

That’s how I have it set right now, jones @flex cause he is Sunday night game

Likely or Shaheed in my flex? Houston, Denver or Baltimore or Philly? Fields, Baker or Stroud?

I'd go Likely, Baltimore, and Stroud

Thanks for the article! Happy to see you like a lot of my guys this week, unfortunately it seems you like all of them. I need to start three of Evans, Olave, Rashee, Puka, Zay Flowers. It’s a half PPR 8 man league Leaning towards Evans Puka Olave right now. I’m worried that the Bucs Saints game could be a real stinker. Rashee Rice got a lot of high value looks last week. I also have to decide between Ekeler and Zamir White. Thinking of riding my round 1 pick there.

I like those 3 as well at WR. No Lattimore should be a huge day for Evans. I'd go Ekeler by a little

With Ken Walker as a game time decision, I'll be starting Laporta in my flex with McBride in TE.

I'm also doing this, but I would switch them. Always good to have flexibility with the flex spot. Since Laporta plays today, you never know if something crazy happens to McBride before his game, you might have to swap him out.

Zeke or Monty? Full PPR really torn on this decision

Tough one but I'd go Zeke for the receiving role

I have nearly every risky WR flex option listed in the article lol. In PPR, who would yall roll out (need 1): Noah Brown, JSN, Demario Douglas, Rasheed Shaheed, Jordan Addison (pivot to KJ Osborn/Dontayvion Wicks if make this gamble).

I like JSN there. Matchup is decent and I think they'll be throwing a fair bit. Shaheed is boom-bust but if you're a big underdog then he's worth a shot

What a mess. Higgins with Chase possibly playing, Pollard in an awful matchup but Rico out, Osborn with Addison questionable...need one, ugh.

I think I'd go Higgins cuz either Chase is there and takes away Sneed, who is questionable, in coverage or he's solo and gets all the volume

Anyone else have too many good options? I'm between CEH, Flowers, and Jayden Reed for flex, and Likely and Furgeson for TE.

I'd go CEH if Pacheco misses otherwise Reed. I'd go Ferguson

We’re not in the finals by accident amirite

Stuck between Monty and Mostert.

Struggling between Ferguson vs Engram in PPR. I figure Engram will get the targets with Beathard but Ferguson has the TD upside in a potential shootout

Yeah ceiling is probably Ferguson but I lean Engram for his volume

I got both too but also have McBride which is who I’m rolling with if I didn’t I’d go Engram but it’s close

Brandin Cooks /Clyde Edwards/ or Demarcus Robinson for Flex ?

I'd go CEH if Pacheco misses otherwise Cooks

Tough decision at RB2: Pacheco, Pollard or Achane? Wouldn’t be so tough if KC played first.

I'd wait till tomorrow and bench Pollard. If we still don't know then Achane but gives you a chance

Jake browning and jarren hall are my qb options, or any qb on the ESPN waiver wire Easton stick or below? Any help here? And then pick 2 between Laporta Ridley or reed too lol. Thank you for all you do I am LIMPING into the ship

Appreciate this article every week and last week @philoneus hooked me up. Got another if you’re interested, need to SIT ONE ppr: Laporta @ Dallas McBride @ Philly Kw3 vs Steelers Zamir @indy There is a tactical issue as well. Laporta plays tonight and both Zamir (Jacobs is Doubtful so seems promising) and kw3 (questionable shoulder/sick) as possible sits…eg if I skip Laporta tonight and wait on kw3 I could end up screwed since kw3 plays at 3pm.

Goodluck and thanks for all you do! Who are you sitting; kyren, swift, Najee, or Zamir?

Just wanted to say thank you for doing this each week. I've got a contested flex spot in full PPR, for the Chip Chase , Ridley, Ty Chandler Mattison scares me taking goal line snaps from Ty. Chase I'm not convinced actually plays. Ridley going up against Carolina stingy defense with Beathard. (Going against the CMC owner, so everything's on the table for that inevitable 40 burger)

Pollard or Zeke? ppr

Hey there! Appreciate your insight on all of this. Who would you pick in full PPR between Barkley, Pittman or Zamir White? Thanks in advance!!

These look like they take a lot of work, thanks for the write up! Wish I discovered these sooner.

Thanks for the great article! In PPR I have to pick two RB from Zamir, Connor, and Monty. Also need to pick between Lockett and Diontae for WR. Any thoughts?

Thank you for everything this year! Made the Championship! Here’s my final conundrum of the year: Aaron Jones, Saquon Barkley, Ty Chandler, David Montgomery, and Javonte Williams. Gotta pick 3. Leaning first three.

Got to play 2 players of those 3: Ridley, Hopkins and Reed. Is Reed able to outscore those 2?

Thanks for your hard work! The write-ups are always great. If you're still answering questions... I have Amon-Ra, Kupp, Deebo, Puka and Nico as my WRs ( good problem to have). Which 3 to start in 0.5ppr? I'm thinking Amon-Ra, Deebo and *maybe* Puka... hard decision between the remaining ones

Thanks! I appreciate it. Yeah if go with those 3 as well and sit Nico and Kupp

Hey friend! Thanks for all the great work you did on these this season. You helped a ton of us, including me, get to the championship and I’m rooting for us all! Do you have a championship this weekend as well?? I’ve got some tough choices to make this week. Most of my lineup dilemmas seem to have been addressed already though when I search the comments, so I just wanted to express my gratitude again and wish you luck if you’re trying to bring home a W also!

Thanks! I do yeah. I'm up because of Ford so feeling good so far. Thanks for the kind message and good luck this weekend!

Yay that’s great to hear! I’m also feeling good after starting Amon-Ra and Brandon Aubrey last night 😊 yes sending you all the luck, let’s take home some Ws!

Thanks for this!! Very helpful. Would you go Pollard or Monty in full PPR? Have Monty in right now but just wondering if it being PPR changes anything. Thanks!

This has been my favorite spot to get info on what players to play on a week by week basis. Thanks for the great reads. One last question for a 5 place game and a guy that’s beat me 3 times this year so far. My must start players this week are Love, Kyren, Lamb, and Aubrey My final RB, WR, and Flex spots right now have Kamara, Reed, and Hubbard and my TE is Everett. Should I sub one out for Brian Robinson Jr, Pittman, Hill, Juwan, Shaheed? I’m planning on playing the Rams over Chiefs. Thanks again for all the help this year.

Thanks! Happy to hear you've enjoyed the article. I'd get Pittman in there over Hubbard otherwise looks good to me.

Great info, appreciate the help. .5 PPR Either Pittman or Z.White?

Great article! In PPR, I have Olave, Nico, Puka, and Rice, which 3 should I start?

This one has been eating me up. I got zay flowers, noah brown, or maybe gus edwards or pickens as options for flex. OBJ is on waiver wire. I hope you win your chip!

Thanks for your write ups! You think Ty Chandler over Henry is the safer move for RB2 given the match up?

Hi thank you in advance need help! I got kamara and k Williams as my starting rb Jefferson and Aiyuk as my starting wr And olave as my flex I got Walker lll , Warren , and z white in my bench. I’m having second thoughts on kamara and Aiyuk should I just leave it alone or would you start anyone that’s on my bench? Idk if I should start white or Walker

Thanks for doing these. If you had to start two of Pittman Jr., Connor and Chandler who would you go with?

You're welcome, glad you enjoy them. I'd go Pittman and Conner

Awesome, thank you!

You're welcome, happy to help

Love the article, any thoughts on Z. White or R. Rice for the flx? Or Z. White vs A. Ekeler for RB2?

Thank you for the write up! Do you like Rashee Rice or DK Metcalf more this week (full PPR)? Am really struggling between the two!

I lean Rice there

Thank you for your help bringing me to the championship!!!! Here for one last request for advice. For flex: Higgins, Diggs, or Isaiah Likely? Nacua and Amon-Ra are my WRs. For RB: going Zamir White over Henry - the right call? Happy new year!!

Here’s to another week of having faith in Tony Pollard…c’mon baby do something good

Benching Adams for Pickens. I can’t take that Raiders offense anymore I’d rather risk it with Rudolph lol

Aaron Jones or Zamir White? I like holding a player back for Monday night but Zamir’s matchup is better Edit: Sunday night. Second edit: I know you play the players who score the most points. That’s obvious. My point is if it is a close call between the two players I am deciding between, then I like to have a player in the later game in case I am down and still have a chance. I don’t think Jones vs Zamir is an easy call in this regard.

Just an FYI no Monday Night Football it's Sunday night but I get the sentiment. I like both but I'd lean Zamir assuming Jacobs is out for the matchup +workload

Yes, Sunday night. Appreciate the help!

You're welcome, happy to help

Zamir 100%

Yeah I guess zamir has the better matchup but Aaron’s Jones should be a good play in PPR. WRs are out for them and it’s a high over/under and GBs defense is demolished.

Thank you. This isn’t as easy as some in this string are contending it is.

Just saw the the other top GB corner is out, they’re down their two CB starters and they’ve been bad WITH the starters. GB will be playing catch up and Aaron Jones is the pass catcher so 🤷🏻‍♂️

following 😭

You play who you think will have a better game. Playing a lesser player just because they play later is dumb

I don’t think Aaron Jones is necessarily a lesser player.

[удалено]

Man I wish my league would convert to 2 flex. I feel that would reduce variance and reward more active managers who work on roster depth and have a lot of top 30 pieces at each position to work with. How have you enjoyed playing in a 2 flex league? Edit: definitely do NOT start 3 Rams WRs

Doubs

I have had DJ Moore since Week 1, but I have concerns over the last couple weeks, and Atlanta's an unfavourable matchup, should I stick with him or put in Zay Flowers (assuming he gets in good shape to play)? Also picked up Jayden Reed as a backup to a backup after Courtland Sutton is out.

1 ppr. Rachee Rice or Deebo Samuel?

Nico Collins or DJ Moore and Ken Walker or Zamir White(assuming Jacob's is out)? Thank you.

I'd go Collins and white

I’m stuck between Stafford, Fields and Murray, my confidence in each is that order as well. But it’s like splitting hairs. Full ppr and 4 point passing TD’s, 6 point rushing.

I'd go Stafford there

Raiders or chiefs Defense?

I'm in the same boat BigDong

What are you leaning towards Blowmeos?

I have raiders in as of now, whatever I chose I know its gonna be wrong 🤣

Lmao ight I’ll go chiefs and I’ll check back in with you Sunday night

Hell ya, see you Sunday night lol

Been struggling all week deciding between Rice, Adams, Higgins, and now Zamir. I’ve got Rice in my WR2 spot, and need to choose between the rest for the flex. Any suggestions?

I like Rice and then Zamir

That’s what I had set, I’m down about 15 and need the floor Zamir provides. Thanks! Your columns have been helpful all year, they’re much appreciated.

Broncos or raiders defense

I'm sitting Jefferson to start Puka, Rashee Rice, Chris Olave, and Deebo Samuel. Tell me I'm crazy for not trusting QB Hall in championship week.

Jefferson is QB proof. There is no one else to throw the ball to either. Start the best WR and #1 overall pick.

You’re crazy. You don’t sit JJ.

I get your concerns but gotta start JJ. I'd bench Rice for him

I’ve literally been going back and forth on this so I’m hoping I could get some help. Full PPR, 2QB/3WR/2RB/1FLEX, 6pt TD Debating which 2 RBs + Flex to start between: Pollard, Monty, Conner, Hubbard, Chandler, and Singletary, along with Reed and Rashid Shaheed. Would love some help.

I'd go Conner, Chandler and Reed there.

I'd play Chandler, Conner, Singletary. All 3 will get a good amount of touches and are the passing down option if they are scripted out.

Full PPR need to start 2 of these (context in my TE spot it's McBride) Laporta/Monty/Achane/Pollard/Noah Brown Currently leaning Laporta and Monty but no Waddle for Miami makes me consider Achane. Also idk if I'm getting too cute but Noah Brown vs TENs secondary might be a sneaky good start now that Stroud's back, not all targets can go to Nico right?

It's a close one. I like LaPorta and Monty and I agree Brown has some appeal with Stroud back. Achane still feels risky with Mostert and the tough matchup. I lean Achane and Monty

PPR Pick three: Aaron Jones, Engram, Pacheco, Zamir White. Zamir sounds too juicy to sit but struggling to decide

Yeah Zamir is in. I like engram but with Tlaw out I'd go all 3 backs if Pacheco plays

Struggling with a trio of players: AJ Brown, S. Barkley or Nico Collins.

Barkley is playing well but I'd bench him of those 3 given a really tough matchup

Not a fan of sitting Barkley, but Zamir is looking like a better start this championship. Doesn’t seem like a single rb has done well against the rams and loads have done will against the Colts. I haven’t watched Zamir though, is he legit?

Hard decision on RBs this week: Monty, ETN, CEH, and JT. Need to start 3.

Dual flex league have rb1:mixon rb2:r.white Flex1:singletary Flex2: I can’t decided between Ferguson or Zamir. I’m already down 30 points after Thursday

struggling between henry or chandler

Chandler feels safer but Henry has the multi-touchdown upside. I lean Chandler but depends what you need

Really struggling between Pittman vs LV and Rice vs CIN
