I wonder if that’s the most points scored by someone basically nobody (outside the deepest of leagues) started in fantasy history.  

I had to start him because my top two RBs are Ekeler and Aaron Jones. He got me 51 points, and I still lost by 30.

I think so too!  Just need to open up 1 more roster spot, which I'll have next week once I drop Chiefs D, and he'll be in consideration for me.

Not sure why anybody would want my advice.  I cut Achane for Zack Moss and then didn't start either of them last week.  I started Breece Hall the last two weeks and not week 1.  I agree on not liking Perine, I have Javonte and I won't even start him.

I kind of like Jayden Reed.  I think I took him in the mock.  He is getting a ton of targets.  Maybe that will drop when Watson comes back, or maybe he will face more lax coverage.  For what it's worth I generally hate Bateman and you already have too much Baltimore in your offense IMO..

My question for you guys is:  I have Fields and Wilson at QB.  Who do I start?  No, not that Wilson, the one that at least didn't suck at some point in his life.  They both have great matchups.  They are playing each other!

Russ has cooked a bit this year.

Fields has been a shell of anything he ever was and is on waivers in my 10 man league.

 

Let Russ cook

I can’t hate the pick.  It’s not really a reach if you know he isn’t coming back to you, and he isn’t lasting to the middle of Rd 2.  

[RoadFan]

I think the best player in that entire group is Jayden Reed, but not necessarily fantasy wise.  Problem is that Christian Watson is going to further muddy the situation.  Green Bay has put together quite a group around Love;  Watson, Doubs, Reed, Musgrave and Wicks…

The Packers have set the model for how to transition from one QB to the next.

[Barry McCockinner]

Browns held both the Bengals and Titans to 3 points at home. The broncos gave up 17 w1, 35 w2 and 70 w3.

I just benched Lamar at Cleveland in favor of Fields vs Denver.

I figure the broncos are due to give up 140 this week.

Is this getting too cute? The matchups are so slanted they almost force my hand.

Ford vs Baltimore or Mattison vs Carolina.

Lamar is so hard, because so much of his value depends on how much he runs that day.  Of course, right now, Fields is in the same boat.

I know ford popped up with a shoulder yesterday. don't know if it's anything serious ... 

I like Ford if he's healthy for the upside. Mattison probably has a higher floor because of his role.

I’m starting Richardson over Lamar this week.

Fields has been running more lately so that’s at least something to hang your hat on.  But I don’t think I’d start Fields over Lamar all the same.

I wish I had Richardson. I was planning on taking him in the 12th but some fugface in my league took him in the friggin 8th.

Yeah gotta go Mattison.  Panthers pass D is better than their Run D so Vikings will still lean pretty heavily on Mattison, I imagine.  

Akers will muddle that situation soon but not yet.  And it’s not like Hunt won’t muddle thinks in Cleveland himself…

Hunt will get some snaps but I'm not too worried about him. There's a reason Ezekiel Elliot and Dalvin Cook found jobs before him.

Quick help needed before Thurday night kickoff.  

One of these RBs needs to sit this week.  Can I trust Aaron Jones tonight?

Jacobs @LAC
Mostert @ Buff
Moss v Rams
A Jones v Lions.

I'll be starting 3 of them.  Who sits this week?

 

[RoadFan]

I trust AaJo tonight.  If he was “iffy,” one would think the medical team would sit him tonight and give him another 10 days to recover.

Great problem to have, all solid options, splitting hairs really.  I'd trust Jones. It would be an odd time to bring him back if they werent confident he can give them a full go of it tonight.

Thoughts on this situation?  I'm rolling Jakobi Myers in the flex this week over all these RB's and DJ Moore.  I think that game is a shoot out and his target rate is ridiculous.  Anywho, I need 2 RB's: 

Henry vs. Cinci

Ford vs. Balt

Bench; Pacheco vs. Jets, J.Williams vs. Bears. 

I'm a fan of riding a hot hand and while Ford didnt go crazy last week, he still got me 20 points and Moss ran all over Balt.  I'm considering Pacheco over Henry because of match up and I'm just not ready to trust JW who hasnt scored 10pts yet.  Too cute and trust my stud RB or do it?

REAL tough to bench Javonte against that Bears D but it’s hard to argue against any of the other options you have starting.  

Henry + Ford/Javonte looks good to me but it’s all very close and a good problem to have.

Gimme Kyren (volume) and Cook (talent + volume) for sure.

Higgins as well.

Maybe hope Boyle/Siemian replaces Wilson midgame so Garrett can get done production?  lol.

Other 2 spots:  Ford and whoever you feel strongest about among the remaining WRs.  Can’t trust Najee at all.

No one sets up my lineup but me.  Just looking for opinions.  In reality, the real issue behind the question at all was that Garrett Wilson should be on the bench and doesn't make the 6 I need.  Ford, Cook, K Williams, Higgins, Hopkins and M Thomas were and are in the lineup for the moment.  Benching WIlson is not very easy.  Not for a team named Garrett Cake, anyway.

So who would you bench in this scenario?  Wilson or one of the other 6 above?

benching M. Thomas before Wilson all day and twice on Sunday night.
