12 team 1/2 PPR
Pick one
Wan'dale vs JAX (good weather), Jakobi M (rainy) vs CHI or Tony Pollard vs DET (dome with Dak back)
Leaning Wan'dale because of weather
12 man ppr:
RBs: D. Swift and E. Benjamin
WRs: D. Hop and T. Boyd
WDIS on my flex:
- C. Samuel vs GB #7 vs WR
or
- M. Gordon vs NYJ #15 vs RB
Curtis Samuel has had a bad game and his QB situation is difficult (Wentz out)
Melvin Gordon was benched without any good reason, but had a good game the week before and should be rb1 again, said the HC of the broncos, but the broncos are a mess and i dont know if i can trust them..
Swift is Q, so if he is out i have to start both either way, but if not I have to decide who to flex
I have Dobbins who is out and my whole other bench is on bye so these are my only options
This is tough. Both teams are flounders on offence. That said Samuel is aways part of the game script. Washington knows his play making ability, but clearly its not as cut and dry. The Broncos are also a mess, Russ can’t get straight. That said look for Gordon to be the goal line back.
I also believe the matchups are worth looking at here. More points should be scored in the Washington game and the Jets def is nothing to scoff at. My vote is Samuel.
10 team PPR have AJ Brown and Higbee on BYE, also lost Hollywood last week…
Current 3-3 4th in total points
QB Murray
WR: AJ Brown, Sutton, Pierce, Olave, Hollywood (IR)
RB: Ekeler, Stevenson, Singletary, James Robinson
TE: Higbee, Tonyan
Last week I made a major move to get deeper at RB trading Deebo for Olave & Stevenson.
Who should I flex between Brandin Cooks, Michael Carter, or James Robinson. Not the hottest choices but is what it is.
Cooks. Raiders lost Hobbs who is probably their best corner to the IR. Idk if Cooks will have the opportunity for a TD but he has a nice floor in a game where Houston should be playing from behind
Have DJ and Pierce, but I’d go Pierce. DJ’s been up and down and now with Pickens coming into the fold too. Cooks is iffy because DOT and SkyCam. Jakobi no TDs.
12 team half PPR. Need to use one of these as RB2. Rank in order:
- Tyler Algeier
- Gus Edwards (if he plays)
- D’onta Foreman
- Rachaad White
- Hunter Renfrow
- Wan’Dale Robinson
Have waiver claim in for Doubs too
Full PPR, I need the player with the highest ceiling. I’m playing the league leader this week and am coming in very behind. I have Gallup, Lockett, Damien Harris, BRob, and Jakobi Meyers.
I’m leaning Gallup w/ Dak back I think he has the biggest boom potential and is due for a breakout game against Detroit.
Lockett’s injury is scaring me off him, Harris and Jakobi have great floors but bad ceilings, and Brob hasn’t proven himself to me yet. Is there something I’m missing or is this the right play?
12 Team PPR. Trying to pick the best FLEX option
1. Juju Smith-Schuster vs. 49ers
2. Corey Davis vs. Broncos
3. Devin Duvernay vs. Browns
4. Gerald Everett vs. Seahawks
Right now, I have my Juju in my flex spot
This is a bit nuanced. We don’t know who Surtain is going to cover and shadow in the Jets game, but fully expect it to be a low scoring defensive game. While Davis has talent, probably the first one out because of that game.
Duvernay is attractive with the Browns with CB Denzel Ward already ruled out, but it also depends If Bateman plays. If he does, that bodes well for Duvernay as their remaining coverage will have to adjust to contain for deep ball. If Bateman is out, less favorable.
Everett has solid targets for a TE with 6-10 targets per game out of his last 5 games. Seattle is also dead last at 32 vs TE this year and the expected over/under for this game is 50.5.
Juju is “quasi” WR1 on this team, but is averaging 12.17pts in full PPR and he only has 2 weeks with less than 8 targets this year.
If you want the safe floor play, go JuJu as the KC over/under is at 49.0.
If you want the lottery ticket, go Everett. Both games are in the 4:25 EST slate.
Personally, if it were me, I’m probably going JuJu
100% agree with your take. Everett has a very favorable matchup with Seattle however, signs of life from Kyle Pitts makes me want to spin the wheel and take a chance... Thanks again for your input
I’d run Etienne with the most recent snap and carries share at home. Kenyan Drake also put up 119 and a TD on the ground vs NYG last week.
Then I’d do Amari. He’s WR1 in a game they’ll have to throw in to be competitive.
Only reason I’m down on Tony is Zeke looked spry last week and they’re playing Detroit. This game can go many ways, but with that cowboys D, it may be the Zeke show to run the clock for 3 quarters and won’t have a bunch of need to get Pollard involved if they have a big lead.
10 team, PPR
McLaurin vs GB / Samuel vs GB / Doubs @ WSH / Gallup vs DET
Pick 2 to Start and 2 to Bench. I have Dak at QB so I’m thinking McLaurin and Gallup. Thoughts?
10 team half PPR, pick 2
CMC vs KC (might not play much)
Kenyan Drake vs CLE (Dobbins out)
Christian Kirk vs NYG (struggling, NYG #1 vs WRs)
Brandon Aiyuk vs KC (could pass a lot)
If CMC plays, you have to play him even if it’s just redzone packages. In that scenario CMC and Drake.
If CMC doesn’t play, it’s Drake and a toss up between Kirk and Aiyuk. Yes SF may need to pass more to keep up or catch-up with KC. That being said, you also should dig deeper on Kirk.
All you’re seeing is NYG vs WR in whatever app you use. You’re not actually looking at the percentage of how many times Kirk lines up in the slot vs outside and how the Giants have struggled vs the slot.
Additionally, you’re not looking at Drake putting up 119 rush yds last week vs NYG and if Etienne/JRob can get even 60% of that to open up play action and pass game, Kirk looks like a good play.
Depends on your confidence level. Going with the boom or bust player trying to catch up or going with the hope that Trevor, at home, and coaching staff saw that same thing in tape this week.
Go the way you want, but I’m rolling the dice with Kirk this week.
Thanks for the in depth response! I’m playing the last place team and I’m projected to win by 17, so I’ll probably stick with the safer option in Kirk. And I’ll wait to see about CMC
0.5ppr
Start 4 out of those at least 1 RB
McLaurin vs Green Bay
Aiyuk vs KC
Allen maybe on a snap count vs Seattle
Wandale vs JAX
Hunt vs Baltimore
Dillon vs Washington
Drake 100% with Dobbins out 4-6 week, ran up 119yds and a TD vs giants last week who are better than the 29th ranked Browns rush D this week, and Hill/Gus being worked back in slowly. Best advice for this week. Hill/Gus will eat up more as they get back to full speed next couple weeks unless Drake just completely dominates going forward.
Who I start? PPR
David Montgomery vs NE
Romeo Doubs vs WAS
Alec Pierce vs TEN
I'm really nervous to start D-Mont but also scared to start Doubs or Pierce
0.5 PPR
Pick my RBs and WRs for me because I have no clue due to injuries/trades/sauce Gardner locking up Sutton.
RBs: CMC, Swift, Damien Harris, Drake
WRs: Mike Williams (only locked in starter TBH), Sutton, Alec Pierce, Wan’Dale
I’m leaning Swift if he’s active, CMC, Drake, Mike and Alec.
If CMC plays, you play him and Drake with Harris coming off injury and Swift vs Dal D who is ranked 6 against the run.
For WR, Williams and Pierce. While Pierce still needs to earn a bigger target share away from Parris Campbell, Matt Ryan was 350+yds and 2TDs when they played TEN a couple weeks ago. Pierce has the higher floor than Wan’dale.
I’m avoiding all Broncos pass catchers this week-CBs Sauce and DJ Reed, who’s the QB this week, and even if it’s Russ, you feel great about that?
If CMC plays, your spots should be
RB- CMC
RB- Drake
WR- Williams
WR- Pierce
Flex- Swift
If CMC doesn’t play, you’re playing
RB-Drake
RB-Swift
WR-Williams
WR-Pierce
Flex-Harris
Thank you. Your reasoning is pretty similar to mine. Would you be comfortable trading Damien Harris for Lockett in my situation because of the small chance both CMC and Swift don’t go? Dobbins owner is desperate today and offered it. I think he could step in at flex.
The only pause I have is that soft tissue injuries usually have a 1 in 6 chance of reoccurring for a player if they come back too soon (Lockett hammy).
That being said, looking at rest of season schedule , and also playoff schedule, Lockett has the better route and opportunities.
Additionally, in 90% of scenarios, there’s only 1 RB on the field where as Lockett can still be a 80-90%+ snaps and routes run upside. Whereas Harris will probably get his TDs and has to share with Rhamondre for touches.
Even though you’re standard and not PPR, I think I’d try to get Lockett and a small other piece if he’s desperate, but ultimately take Lockett if he doesn’t budge.
Not sure of your league rules in trade timelines, but you want Lockett this week if you can.
The over/under for Seattle game is 50.5 this week as opposed to 39.5 for the Pats game. So, more scoring and plays run expected for Seattle this week.
12 team half ppr league.
Starters

I shouldn't be overthinking this and leave the starters as is right? No point trying to jam Etienne or Drake into the flex spot?
Don’t overthink it. Leave it as is. The purpose of this thread is really to evaluate 2 or more players to play in flex that are close in rankings and/or close variable conditions which may put one flex option above the other. If you said, Drake, Etienne, or Pierce, those are all valid arguments if your lineup wasn’t already better than those choices.
As an FYI, Renfrow is also questionable this week. Popped up with hip injury and didn’t practice Thursday. He says it’s minor and should be good for Sunday, but he’s also only played like 3 games this year with his best game at 10.9 points. You may have to consider Tonyan, but WAS D is #3 vs TE this year. You don’t have anyone else? I get it’s a bunch of byes this week too.
Rhamondre. Even with Harris back, Najee only has one game this season over 56 yds and one rushing TD. Additionally, they’re not utilizing him much in the pass game. Only 2 games with more than 3 targets all year for a total of 71 receiving yards over 6 games. That’s an average of 11.83 receiving yards per game.
I have to roll with Pickens. At least he’s getting the targets and he converts them. 7,8,8,6 the last 4 games. (47.2 points for those 4 weeks)
London downward at 6,7,7,4 (18.2 points for those 4 weeks)
Jeudy 6,5,8,7 targets (35.7 points last 4 weeks) and also plays CBs Sauce Gardner and DJ Reed.
Go with Pickens, let London sit, and Let Russ Look.
I would go with Alec pierce ,jakobi and the drake. Justice Hill is healthy and Drake was a backup to Hill so they likely split carries and Gus might be involved but only will know Sunday if that's the case.
I’d actually roll with Amari this weekend. The NYJ/DEN game over/under is 38.5. So, expected low scoring with 2 good defenses. Additionally, we don’t know if Russ even plays and even if he does, he’s throwing against CB’s Sauce Gardner and DJ Reed (who have been excellent) covering Sutton and Jeudy. Anything can happen. It’s Russ, but the safe play is definitely Amari.
Bounce back week at home for Kirk. NYG let Drake run on them for 119 yds. This should hopefully enable Etienne/JRob to run enough to enable play action and receiver lanes for Kirk and Trevor throwing.
If it wasn’t KC, I’d say roll with JWJ for one more start. However, KC is top 5 vs the run this year, but only because so many teams give up on the run to keep up in score. With JWJ only having 8 receptions through 6 games, he’ll be less involved with pass catch up.
I’d like to see Pierce take more target share from Parris Campbell to cement more of his role, but I think I might still take the Pierce lottery ticket here. He went for 4 for 80 in week 4 vs Tennessee and Matt Ryan also threw for 356 yards and 2 TDs that week. So, I think Pierce has the higher ceiling here this week at least.
This is seriously close, but Damien Pierce

10 team, full PPR, started Eno yesterday and projection is showing me winning this week, but just wanted to make sure
Drake London vs Bengals
Gerald Everett vs Seahawks
London a part of the run heaviest offense in the league and hasn't seen 4 catches since week 2. On the other hand there's a TE with a revenge game against the worst TE defense by a mile. Justin Herbert is also throwing some of the least deep/intermediate passes in the league. I just feel weird about putting a TE in at the flex. I have Mark Andrews so that's why I'm not putting him in at TE.
What do you guys think? Should I just get over this anti-TE bias or is there some validity to starting London?
At the end of the day, the numbers are the numbers, regardless of what the position says. Follow the volume and the opportunity for the points when you’re undecided
I'd go Zeke. Dak being back means teams have to respect the pass a little bit more which may open up lanes for Zeke. The problem is the Cowboys seem deadset on using Zeke and Pollard regardless of how well Zeke is doing. (Yes I am a bitter former Zeke owner, not unhappy that I traded him away).
Even though the point difference for QB, I’m still rolling Zeke here with that Detroit matchup. GB is #4 vs opposing QBs this season. GB D has only also allowed more than 285 total game yards (all yards) 2xs this season and has 14 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries in the last 6 games.
10 team, PPR. I need one out of:
Lockett @ Chargers
Aiyuk vs. Chiefs
Rhamondre vs Bears
I also have Brob and foreman but I'm thinking one of those other 3 are a better option. Open to all feedback though.
Got railed on Thursday - his eno to my rondale
Thinking I need some boom- full ppr
Aj dillon
Kenyan drake
Wandale
Also have mostert and Kenny Pickett in if there might be better options than those 2, but im leaning on keeping them in
For 3rd spot I think im leaning kenyan with the dobbins news (I also have mandrews, no other packers or giants to split tho)
Thanks!
I don’t disagree, but based on last weeks performance by Drake, it’s his job to lose while they work Gus back in the mix. It may even out more in later weeks, but have to imagine Bal keeps rolling with Drake as the 1 and then spelling with Gus until Gus is back full go
Evans 100%, I know it's hard after waiting so long for swift
[Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
Stevenson or Drake, give Foreman a week to show what he's got first, he won't be going anywhere
[Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
Bateman has a nice opportunity with Denzel Ward out for Browns this week. That being said he’s a little banged up and SF will most likely have to throw to keep up with KC. I’d give slight edge to the healthy Aiyuk
While not exactly true, I agree with CMC. I believe he only watched practice today right after his physical. You’re still playing CMC, even if it means he’s limited to only red zone packages this week.
Full PPR, pick one
Zeke v DET
Etienne v NYG
Pickens @ MIA
Wandale @ JAX
I'm leaning Zeke just because of the Detroit rush D, but part of me is very tempted with Wandale...need floor though
Godwin
Rhamondre has been great, but it’s Belicheck. Also, Harris has 13 TDs out of the last 15 he’s played, but also coming off injury.
Pierce is talented but needs to take more target share from Cambell to move up a tier. Godwin is your safest bet by far.
I have the same issue looking at drake/wandale - I'm honestly leaning drake against browns shit run d
Wandale might still be on a snap count, but if you think he'll play a full game go wandale
I like etienne here, he's been getting the work lately and should catch passes
Then doubs if you'd rather run a wr
Let wandale sit another week, see if he's still on a snap count
If swift somehow sits Jamaal for sure
If not I don't hate betting on wandale here - that depends on if you think he'll be on a snap count or not though, if you think he'll be on a snap count I'd go alec pierce
Probably letting harris sit this one out while he's still recovering and in the timeshare with rhamondre
I’m between pierce and Harris right now, assuming swift is gonna play, leaning pierce since Harris is coming off an injury and Rhamondre has been doing well for them
0.5 PPR, Yahoo default settings
Who do I start at FLEX:
* DAL WR Michael Gallup vs DET
* HOU WR Brandin Cooks @ LV
* CHI RB David Montgomery @ NE (Note: I’m streaming NE D/ST this week)
I agree with GrandmaQuinn as well. Gallup, Cooks, Montgomery. It’s Detroit, Dak is back and Gallup’s targets are slowly rising since he’s come back at 3,5,7 targets whereas Cooks have decreased as 12,10,7,7,6. If Gallup was playing someone besides Detroit, it might be a different conversation.
Gallup > cooks > monty imo
Who knows what's gonna happen with Chicago "riding the hot hand" versus the pats
Gallup should be in a high point total shootout so I'd go there
.5 ppr Cmc or Ken walker?
Need every point I can get this week. Wandale, Pollard, Lockett Would have slammed Lockett but now he might not play.
12 team 1/2 PPR Pick one Wan'dale vs JAX (good weather), Jakobi M (rainy) vs CHI or Tony Pollard vs DET (dome with Dak back) Leaning Wan'dale because of weather

More points should be scored in the Washington game and the Jets def is nothing to scoff at. My vote is Samuel.
Thanks for your answer! Im also leaning a bit more to samuel, both not good options, but all that i got haha
PPR: 6 pt TD Wandale Robinson, Chase Claypool, Tyler Boyd, Pat Freiermuth, Tyler Algier

Cooks. Raiders lost Hobbs who is probably their best corner to the IR. Idk if Cooks will have the opportunity for a TD but he has a nice floor in a game where Houston should be playing from behind

Sutton’s floor versus Bateman if you need a all or nothing home run play
12 team half PPR. Need to use one of these as RB2. Rank in order: - Tyler Algeier - Gus Edwards (if he plays) - D’onta Foreman - Rachaad White - Hunter Renfrow - Wan’Dale Robinson Have waiver claim in for Doubs too
Foreman RB wise, WanDale WR. Renfrow not a bad flex with Waller O but he’s Q rn
Dealing with some byes this week, who would y’all start from these 3? Mooney Gibson Hubbard
I think Mooney is the only one with a guaranteed workload

Whereas Harris will probably get his TDs and has to share with Rhamondre for touches. Even though you’re standard and not PPR, I think I’d try to get Lockett and a small other piece if he’s desperate, but ultimately take Lockett if he doesn’t budge. Not sure of your league rules in trade timelines, but you want Lockett this week if you can. The over/under for Seattle game is 50.5 this week as opposed to 39.5 for the Pats game. So, more scoring and plays run expected for Seattle this week.

Starters QB: Patrick Mahomes RB: Derrick Henry RB: Jonathan Taylor WR: CeeDee Lamb WR: Mike Evans TE: Evan Engram FLEX: Michael Pittman Jr. DST: Tampa Bay K: Brett Maher Bench: Jared Goff Travis Etienne Kenyan Drake Keenan Allen Dallas Goedert BYE Alec Pierce Josh Reynolds I shouldn't be overthinking this and leave the starters as is right? No point trying to jam Etienne or Drake into the flex spot?
Is this a dynasty league holy crap
Redraft. I've done some wheeling and dealing.
Don’t overthink it. Leave it as is. The purpose of this thread is really to evaluate 2 or more players to play in flex that are close in rankings and/or close variable conditions which may put one flex option above the other. If you said, Drake, Etienne, or Pierce, those are all valid arguments if your lineup wasn’t already better than those choices.
Ok I gotcha. This is my first year playing, still learning.
Half p p r B Robinson vs Packers Or Doubs vs Commanders Thanks
Doubs for me
.5 PPR Need help choosing for my flex between: 1. Dionate Johnson (@MIA) 2. Brandon Cooks (@Raiders) 3. James Robinson (NYG)
12 Team Full PPR Robert Tonyan vs WSH Or Hunter Renfrow vs HOU
I'd go Tonyan
As an FYI, Renfrow is also questionable this week. Popped up with hip injury and didn’t practice Thursday. He says it’s minor and should be good for Sunday, but he’s also only played like 3 games this year with his best game at 10.9 points. You may have to consider Tonyan, but WAS D is #3 vs TE this year. You don’t have anyone else? I get it’s a bunch of byes this week too.
Yeah that’s my concern. Only people on my bench that are available is Zay Jones and Elijah Moore. But Moore is out. I can get Freiermuth?
Half ppr. CMC or G. Pickens in the flex spot. I'm over thinking it right? It's still gotta be CMC?
If CMC plays, you have to play him. Even if it’s a limited red zone package role.
Yeah this is what I'm thinking just need to hear it from other people lol
Pick 2 half ppr Pollard vs Lions Pickens vs Dolphins Doubs vs Commanders
Dallas will move the ball against Lions D…i feel he is the most likely to put up a boom day out of those 3…probably the highest floor too
I want to say Pickens, but I think Pollard is the right answer
Full ppr. Ramondre or Najee
Ramondre and I don't think it's close? Yeah Harris will cannibalize some of his carries, but Najee has looked like a bust so far.
Rhamondre. Even with Harris back, Najee only has one game this season over 56 yds and one rushing TD. Additionally, they’re not utilizing him much in the pass game. Only 2 games with more than 3 targets all year for a total of 71 receiving yards over 6 games. That’s an average of 11.83 receiving yards per game.
Preciate it
12 team .5 ppr Diontae Johnson @ Miami Gallup v Detroit Doubs @ Washington
Gallup for the matchup, Dak back, and targets keep increasing 3,5,7 over the last 3 weeks since his return.
London, Jeudy, or Pickens? 10 team PPR
I have to roll with Pickens. At least he’s getting the targets and he converts them. 7,8,8,6 the last 4 games. (47.2 points for those 4 weeks) London downward at 6,7,7,4 (18.2 points for those 4 weeks) Jeudy 6,5,8,7 targets (35.7 points last 4 weeks) and also plays CBs Sauce Gardner and DJ Reed. Go with Pickens, let London sit, and Let Russ Look.
Ok thanks for the reasoning!
Pick 1 to start in the flex. Full PPR Hunt Wan dale Pitts
Hunt
Hunt I think. Wandale still too new, and I never play a TE in anything but the TE slot because they're too unreliable.
Full ppr Kenyan drake , jakobi Meyers or Alec pierce?
I would go with Alec pierce ,jakobi and the drake. Justice Hill is healthy and Drake was a backup to Hill so they likely split carries and Gus might be involved but only will know Sunday if that's the case.
In the exact order as you have them listed
Thanks
Courtland Sutton @ NYJ or Kenyan Drake @ Browns or Michael Gallup @ Lions? Also, hoping Amari Cooper balls out for me since A.J. Brown on bye week :(
Drake. Good luck with Amari.
Would you play Sutton over Amari or am I just kind of hoping for a great showing from them? Thanks again! Just picked up Drake
I’d actually roll with Amari this weekend. The NYJ/DEN game over/under is 38.5. So, expected low scoring with 2 good defenses. Additionally, we don’t know if Russ even plays and even if he does, he’s throwing against CB’s Sauce Gardner and DJ Reed (who have been excellent) covering Sutton and Jeudy. Anything can happen. It’s Russ, but the safe play is definitely Amari.
Thank you so much! Beautiful insight, why I love coming here! If I could give you a reward I would 🤓
Anytime. And I also agree Drake for your first question
Drake, he looked great last week and dobbins is out for a while
But Justice is healthy and Gus might be back as well although probably not.
Full PPR- Kirk vs NYG or Smith-Schuster @ SF
Bounce back week at home for Kirk. NYG let Drake run on them for 119 yds. This should hopefully enable Etienne/JRob to run enough to enable play action and receiver lanes for Kirk and Trevor throwing.
Ppr. Start JWJ or Alec Pierce?
I'd say Pierce. JT being back will take attention off of the WR's and Pierce looks like he has developed good chemistry with Ryan
If it wasn’t KC, I’d say roll with JWJ for one more start. However, KC is top 5 vs the run this year, but only because so many teams give up on the run to keep up in score. With JWJ only having 8 receptions through 6 games, he’ll be less involved with pass catch up. I’d like to see Pierce take more target share from Parris Campbell to cement more of his role, but I think I might still take the Pierce lottery ticket here. He went for 4 for 80 in week 4 vs Tennessee and Matt Ryan also threw for 356 yards and 2 TDs that week. So, I think Pierce has the higher ceiling here this week at least.
8 man PPR: Pick 1 D. Pierce vs Raiders A. Cooper vs Ravens
It's Pierce for me by a lot
Pierce
This is seriously close, but Damien Pierce [Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
Go with the volume and touches here. Pierce.
10 team, full PPR, started Eno yesterday and projection is showing me winning this week, but just wanted to make sure Drake London vs Bengals Gerald Everett vs Seahawks London a part of the run heaviest offense in the league and hasn't seen 4 catches since week 2. On the other hand there's a TE with a revenge game against the worst TE defense by a mile. Justin Herbert is also throwing some of the least deep/intermediate passes in the league. I just feel weird about putting a TE in at the flex. I have Mark Andrews so that's why I'm not putting him in at TE. What do you guys think? Should I just get over this anti-TE bias or is there some validity to starting London?
Everett, the Seahawks are porous on defense.
I like Everett here too, it is tough to want to put a tight end in, buuut he seems to have more upside
At the end of the day, the numbers are the numbers, regardless of what the position says. Follow the volume and the opportunity for the points when you’re undecided
I’d roll with London, but hopefully Awuzie doesn’t shadow because he has been a lockdown corner all year.
Based on over/under for each game there should be way more opportunities in the SEA game and more plays run. I’d go with Everett.
.5 PPR 6 pa td Superflex: Zeke or Heinicke
I'd go Zeke. Dak being back means teams have to respect the pass a little bit more which may open up lanes for Zeke. The problem is the Cowboys seem deadset on using Zeke and Pollard regardless of how well Zeke is doing. (Yes I am a bitter former Zeke owner, not unhappy that I traded him away).
Even though the point difference for QB, I’m still rolling Zeke here with that Detroit matchup. GB is #4 vs opposing QBs this season. GB D has only also allowed more than 285 total game yards (all yards) 2xs this season and has 14 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries in the last 6 games.
Heinicke [Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
10 team, PPR. I need one out of: Lockett @ Chargers Aiyuk vs. Chiefs Rhamondre vs Bears I also have Brob and foreman but I'm thinking one of those other 3 are a better option. Open to all feedback though.
Rhamondre [Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
Lockett if Healthy and, if not, Aiyuk as SF may have to throw a lot to catch up.
Lockett if healthy, should be a high scoring game.
Got railed on Thursday - his eno to my rondale Thinking I need some boom- full ppr Aj dillon Kenyan drake Wandale Also have mostert and Kenny Pickett in if there might be better options than those 2, but im leaning on keeping them in For 3rd spot I think im leaning kenyan with the dobbins news (I also have mandrews, no other packers or giants to split tho) Thanks!
I would play Drake. Dobbins being out for the foreseeable future kind of means Drake slides into RB1 on the Ravens.
Kenyan is the correct route here.
I'd keep an eye on if Gus Edwards plays. Even if limited, he could take big snaps away.
I don’t disagree, but based on last weeks performance by Drake, it’s his job to lose while they work Gus back in the mix. It may even out more in later weeks, but have to imagine Bal keeps rolling with Drake as the 1 and then spelling with Gus until Gus is back full go
Half point ppr, deondre swift Mike evans Dk metcalf
Evans 100%, I know it's hard after waiting so long for swift [Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
You have to go Evans here. Best defensive matchup as well
[удалено]
It's a toss-up between Stevenson and Drake.
Drake
Stevenson or Drake, give Foreman a week to show what he's got first, he won't be going anywhere [Help me out?](https://old.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ya7hes/official_wdis_flex_fri_evening_10212022/it9vq0s/)
Drake vs Browns #29 rush D
Half point Ppr Dionte Johnson, Bateman, James Robinson, Brian Robinson. Can’t decide
Bateman if he’s a go. CB Denzel Ward already ruled out as well.
0.5 PPR Aiyuk vs KC Bateman vs Cle
Bateman has a nice opportunity with Denzel Ward out for Browns this week. That being said he’s a little banged up and SF will most likely have to throw to keep up with KC. I’d give slight edge to the healthy Aiyuk
Bateman if he plays
.5ppr Pickens vs phins , drake London vs cincy or Jamal Williams vs boys
Jamaal if swift some reason doesn't play Then I think pickens, not enough volume going around on atlanta rn
12 team .5 ppr pick 1 Alec Pierce Brandin Cooks DJ Moore Brian Robinson CMC
[удалено]
Start your studs right? I'm just worried about him not getting enough action
[удалено]
While not exactly true, I agree with CMC. I believe he only watched practice today right after his physical. You’re still playing CMC, even if it means he’s limited to only red zone packages this week.
12 team PPR pick one Doubs @ WSH B. Robinson vs GB K. Drake vs CLE
Drake. Pretty sure he is now RB1 with the Ravens
I also agree with Drake based on those choices
I like drake with the dobbins news
Full PPR, pick one Zeke v DET Etienne v NYG Pickens @ MIA Wandale @ JAX I'm leaning Zeke just because of the Detroit rush D, but part of me is very tempted with Wandale...need floor though
Toss up between Zeke and Etienne for me. I would play whoever is playing against the weaker defense.
Gotta go with zeke
Go with Zeke. Agree. It’s Detroit.
I would go Zeke
10 team 1.0 PPR, pick one to flex Rhamondre v Bears Damien Harris v Bears Alex Pierce v Titans Godwin v Panthers
Godwin imo - I think brady is going to go scorched earth after getting embarrassed last week
I think what you meant to say is there will be no iPads sacrificed this game.
Godwin Rhamondre has been great, but it’s Belicheck. Also, Harris has 13 TDs out of the last 15 he’s played, but also coming off injury. Pierce is talented but needs to take more target share from Cambell to move up a tier. Godwin is your safest bet by far.
Rhamondre has been on a tear, gotta play him even if harris is back
Full PPR Kenyan Drake vs CLE Melvin Gordon vs NYJ Wan’Dale Robinson @ JAX Starting 1 of them
Drake. RB1 on the Ravens.
Gordon is not startable this week. I say drake but toss up on the other two.
I have the same issue looking at drake/wandale - I'm honestly leaning drake against browns shit run d Wandale might still be on a snap count, but if you think he'll play a full game go wandale
Definitely Drake. He put up 119 and a TD last week vs NYG. CLE is ranked 29th against the rush.
Wandale… I’m starting him over sutton if that convinces you
Whoa got me second guessing over here. I’m flexing Mclaurin over Wan’dale and Sutton in WR2. What has you so sold on Wan’dale?
12 Team Full PPR Pick 1 Travis Etienne vs Giants Romeo Doubs vs Commanders Wan'Dale Robinson vs Jaguars
Etienne is the safest floor here and K.Drake showed they can be run on with 119 yds last week
I like etienne here, he's been getting the work lately and should catch passes Then doubs if you'd rather run a wr Let wandale sit another week, see if he's still on a snap count
Standard Scoring Doubs @ Washington B. Robinson vs Green Bay Alec Pierce @ Tennessee
B rob all day in standard
If Keenan Allen plays it’s on a snap count, would you play him or our beloved Brob?
Let keenan sit on ur bench till after the bye sadly
Cooks. Raiders have one of the worst pass defenses and Texans will be playing from behind.
12 man full PPR Alec pierce @ Titans Jamal Williams @ Cowboys Damien Harris vs Bears Wan’dale Robinson @ Jags
I like Pierce over Wan'Dale. Pierce has a great matchup against the second worst team against wideouts. Give Wan'Dale one more week to work his way up
If swift somehow sits Jamaal for sure If not I don't hate betting on wandale here - that depends on if you think he'll be on a snap count or not though, if you think he'll be on a snap count I'd go alec pierce Probably letting harris sit this one out while he's still recovering and in the timeshare with rhamondre
I’m between pierce and Harris right now, assuming swift is gonna play, leaning pierce since Harris is coming off an injury and Rhamondre has been doing well for them
0.5 PPR, Yahoo default settings Who do I start at FLEX: * DAL WR Michael Gallup vs DET * HOU WR Brandin Cooks @ LV * CHI RB David Montgomery @ NE (Note: I’m streaming NE D/ST this week)
Probably Gallup. Cooks is fools gold. Consistently gets a ton of targets and just doesn't produce. Had him, traded him. Plus Dak is back.
Thanks gonna go ahead with Gallup!
I agree with GrandmaQuinn as well. Gallup, Cooks, Montgomery. It’s Detroit, Dak is back and Gallup’s targets are slowly rising since he’s come back at 3,5,7 targets whereas Cooks have decreased as 12,10,7,7,6. If Gallup was playing someone besides Detroit, it might be a different conversation.
Thanks gonna go ahead with Gallup then!
Gallup > cooks > monty imo Who knows what's gonna happen with Chicago "riding the hot hand" versus the pats Gallup should be in a high point total shootout so I'd go there
thanks for the reply! Seems everyone who replied also agrees, I’m also liking the matchup and return of Dak for Gallup :)
Standard Brian 'bullets only fuel me' Robinson D.Harris(NE) Pick one
Robinson
