Leaning Meyers. Brown could get targeted a lot too with Dell and Schultz out.

Ugly bad weather game, as great as Stroud has been, not sure I trust him in this situation, which is awesome because he's my starter.  lol 

Somewhat tempted to pick up and play Baker Mayfield because of how ugly I think the Jets/Texans game is going to be.

[JustInFudge]

Josh Dobbs over CJ Stroud?  he's available too, some what intrigued.

I'm playing Dobbs over Stroud for the same reason.

[chirorob]

I may make the playoffs, but I'm in trouble.

Herbert out, which also hurts Keenan Allen

Justin Jefferson hurt again

Davante Adams with no QB.

Top 6 make playoffs in my league. 6th place will be decided by tie-breaker as we'll both finish with the same record. I'm 2nd in points scored. The guy I'm tie-breaking with is 1st. He's the guy who picked up Achane when I dropped him like a moronic moron the week before he went off

F this game.

I'm not going to play season long anymore - DFS only for me.

[PS17]

Bruh I’m really missing the playoffs with Herbert, Purdy, AJB, Tyreek, Saquon, Montgomery, Jacobs, Andrews, Taysom, etc. 

**** this sh*t

One as$hole in my league who hasn’t set his lineup three weeks in a row is getting in as the six seed over me, about to be seventh. I’ve scored 340 more points than him over the season. This is so stupid. 

[JustInFudge]

I lost last night by 1 point.  1 point.  So many ways this could have happened in the final moments of last nights game but it is what it is, I missed the first round bye all because I could have picked any other QB off waivers, other then Josh Dobbs and I win.  F'ing Joe Flacco, F'ing Zach Wilson, F'ing anyone!!!!!!!!!!!     Now I've got CJ Stroud in concussion protocol and Keenan Allen w/ some dude named after my middle school baseball bat throwing him the ball.

I'm in the same boat.

Trying to claim a QB on waivers cause Herbert due for surgery, Keenan Allen now worthless, to go with my Davante and Justin Jefferson.

Hobbling into the playoffs with my other team. Have to decide between Garrett Wilson @ MIA or Davante Adams vs. LAC on Thursday Night Football. Leaning Garrett Wilson 51-49. Thoughts?

[PS17]

Went into sell mode yesterday, the trade deadline, as I missed the playoffs. Initially had only a 4th rounder next year. Made two trades yesterday which amounted to the following. This is the SF TE Premium league. cc: @Lurker89

Gave: Jake Browning, Gardner Minshew, Dalton Schultz (all bench players for me) 

Got: 2nd, 3rd, 3rd

Love it. Schultz is a decent TE for TEP but no world beater whose value is likely to decline.

Way to get back some draft cap.

[Lurker89]

10-4 and 1st place in one redraft league

9-5 and 5th place in another.

Dynasty leagues  

7-7 and 9th place

And 

3- 11 and 12th place (tanking)

Both leagues play for the #1 pick I have a decent path to MHJR in both

I have 2 spots to fill with Keenan Allen. DaVante and Breece hall.

I agree. Not feeling Keenan in a road game on a short week with Easton Stick.

Now assuming I play GW over Adams, do I flex Adams over one of Ekeler or Montgomery? I hate these lineup decisions this week, I always pick wrong. lol

I think San Diego is utterly done, so I'm down on Ekeler.

No idea on Montgomery

Alright you degenerates, my turn to get some fantasy therapy. This is my primary home league - must win

 

I dominated all year, but the wheels have come off these past few weeks. 

QB (just lost Herbert)... pretty sure i'm gonna ride Levis hosting HOU, but Mullins might have new pussy excitement about him

• Levis vs HOU
• Mullins @ Cin
• Mayfield @GB

Skill positions -- we run a 2/3/1 with a RWT flex. 

RB: leaning towards Mostert, White and maybe Mitchell. He's due. Achane banged up makes me nervous and I hate Etienne's spot.

• Achane vs Jets
• Mostert vs Jets
• Etienne vs BAL
• R. White @GB
• D. Pierce @TEN
• K. Mitchell @JAX

WR: not much to see here, Aiyuk, Chase and Waddle, unless D. Johnson can't go, then I might pivot to Pickens. Waddle has been a huge bust.

• Aiyuk @ARZ
• Chase vs Min
• Waddle vs Jets
• Dotson @ Rams
• Pickens @IND

TE: Hockenson obviously, but Likely is low key in the mix for the flex. 

• Hockenson @Chase
• Likely @Jax
• Goedert @hurt

 

Like your life dependent on it fellas

I want to barf, 2 pts cost me my bye now my entire team in injured or questionable.  I should have had the bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Levis.  I have Stroud, probably not going to play....I'm going w/ Flacco.  Yep!  dont give AF.  Levis is available though, still like Flacco better.  45 attempts a game since he's come back.  He's going for 300 and 2 again, at least.

I'd go White and Mostert.  

Isnt Hill still banged up?  I think I'd play Waddle, he went bonkers on the Jets last game.

I'd go Hock because I can see Mullins checking down a lot but Likely is intriguing as well.

Condolences on QB choices.  That's really unfortunate b/c the rest of the team is excellent and championship worthy.

Go with Levis at home to a beaten down Houston team.  The Jets (mostly MetLife turf and Quinnen Williams) ended the 2023 season for Houston.  They are the equivalent to the Walking Dead.  I don't like it.  But I'd do it over Mullins and certainly over Baker.

RB: White, Mostert
WR: Chase, Waddle, Aiyuk
TE: Hock
Lock in those 6 ^

Flex:  Absolutely NOT Pickens or anything steelers.   For me it comes to Etienne, Achane or Likely.  I would ride Etienne.  He is still dominating in touches and attempts. He is still their bell cow.  They are hurting at WR and I think will lean heavily on him.   Good luck.

Sound advice. I do feel like i'm higher on Pickens than you, before Johnson came back, GP was averaging better than Waddle's abysmal ceiling... that was not with MT though.

@JagsFanJif has planted the Flacco Flag now... Not the worst option vs Levis... I hate that Jalopy Henry vacuums up any TDs inside the 10.

Here's  how I'm looking at it.  That was Levis first 300 yard game and he has as many games held out of the endzone as often as he does getting in.  Flacco in 2 games has throw the ball 45+ times, 250+ yards, 2 TDs, whereas Levis has games where attempted in the teens and 2 games over 250.  Chicago is good vs. the run, bad vs. the pass whereas, Houston is the opposite.  I could see Flacco attempting 50 passes and getting 2 scores whereas I could see that divisional game be an ugly slug fest. 

Which means, Levis will have a career day.

I like your logic. Putting aside that whatever I do, the opposite will happen -- If you stack up the likelihood of Flacco getting a couple layups inside the 20 to Njoku & Cooper vs Levis throwing TDs before TEN gets inside the 10 (when Henry takes over)....  Probably favors Flacco. TEN might be able to just run the ball 35-40 times and win with little pressure on Levis vs that busted up Texans team

I highly recommend you don't play anyone on the field with Mitch Trubisky....  except Friermouth maybe.  Pickens is no Garrett Wilson. You expect a miracle?  Best floor of the 3 is Etienne.  Likely has a high floor as well, IMO.

Letting a little steam out before asking for help with two flex positions. You can skip to bottom and ignore the rest.

My team battled its way into the playoffs.  Sadly, it's a Ma-Homes led team.  First time I ever drafted a QB that early and likely the last. I drafted Kyren Williams and Ford in rounds 20 and 21 and they are the big reason why this team is a wild card.  I'm the #6 seed facing the 3 seed, against whom I was 1-1 in the reg season, with that win being last week and by 26 points.  So I face the dreaded 'difficult to win 2 in a row against the same opponent' scenario.  Aside from injuries, as we all face, having Najee Harris and Warren on the roster has been chronic pain-in-the-butt.  Najee had a full practice yesterday, so again it will be a 50/50 between him and Warren situation with the combined points probably not even fit for one RB alone. I've played one over the other...  each way... I've also started them both and I've benched them both as well. The Steelers offense is anathema to fantasy success.  

On the WR front, I'm getting fewer points from Garrett Wilson and Hopkins than I had hoped for and Higgins was a disaster. I'm just glad that Zach is throwing to Garrett a lot right now, that Levis-to-Hopkins is light years better than Tannehill-to-nobody, and that Tee Higgins is actually playing.  I have Kittle and a consistent solid group of IDPs.

So here is the week 15, playoff scenario:  My opponent feasted on Zamir White and Kendricks and another IDP and leads 37-0.  Originally projected to be a 50/50, Garrett Cakes is now a 37% underdog.  (I actually picked up the Vegas defense, but elected to stick with Indy.  22 points wasted.)  

Garrett Cakes' roster/lineup:

QB: Mahomes
RB1: K Williams
RB2: J Cook
WR1: G Wilson
WR2: Hopkins
TE: Kittle
Flex 1 + Flex2: (pick two) J Ford, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, OBJ, Tee Higgins

I too drafted Higgins, w/ my 3rd pick and he's now on my bench and he drives me crazy every week. 

I'm starting Ford in the flex over him and in your scenario, I'd probably go w/ OBJ.  SNF for Lamar and OBJ and Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco havent been able to practice and the Jags D has been a swish cheese since I became a fan.

Davante showed up for me last night, but I am going against a team with the Raiders defense, and they threw up 25 points

Question

My Flex:   Breece, T Higgins, Justin Jefferson, or OBJ.

Right now I'm leaning Breece
