Drop Mack, but I'd all but guarantee you have better drop somewhere on your roster unless you play in an incredibly short bench league (like, 1-3 bench spots total) or you are in a 2QB/Superflex league and are rostering extra QB to prevent others from picking them up
Era.. help me.. I have the (very) unenviable privilege of having to start Derek Carr or Josh Rosen this week. They play each other, and I think Rosen would be the preferred start since the Raiders are below trash tier.. but I am afeared. HALP.
This is for a Superflex spot, so I could start Chris Godwin or some FA instead I suppose.
RGIII is still there too, in case he starts I guess. All other QBs are taken.

I would lean towards Rosen, as he has a higher ceiling (the Raiders defense is a tire fire), but Carr has a higher floor- He's going to get you 8ish points at minimum, where as Rosen could go Supernova and end up scoring negative points.
Nope, I'm in a 2 RB Max league.
This is PPR league so Mack does project out a bit better for the rest of the year
Yeah, I think I feel the same. I benched Carr when he played Indy, and of course he was great, then played him the last two weeks and has been a joke. Is this the week I bench him again and he suddenly has a good game? Fuck I hate my picks this year. I thought Carr would be a very safe QB2 all year.
depends on your team needs. generally rb is more valuable than wr, but thomas is having a career year and I don't see any sign of it slowing down (barring injury to brees). since barkley is getting so many dump offs, he definatley gets a plus in half ppr
if you have decent rb options, i'd rather have thomas since there's only a handful of truly elite receivers and then everyone else

hmmmm... completely ignoring matchups, I would lean Saquon, but you also run the risk of RB being a much risker position health-wise than WR, and Saquon could hit a rookie wall towards the end of the season, as he's never played a 16 game schedule before
I'd study the matchups first, but I would probably do the trade
Gonna rely on Russell Wilson and MVS to get me a decent start tomorrow.
My opponent has Melvin Gordon and Julio Jones and this game really is a make or break week for my 5-5 team.

could be worse
i'm actually contemplating on starting reynolds (over larry fitz) since I need a ceiling play
I have a feeling this will massively backfire, but yolo
Haha I also went deep on my waiver wire RB add this week and grabbed Josh Adams since Michel and Drake are on byes. If that works out somehow I'm gonna be ecstatic.
i was looking at the wire a few weeks ago and i figured if i'm going to gamble, I might as well gamble on rb's on good offenses and grabbed but ware and malcolm brown
obviously banking on an injury is a total crapshoot but I figured might as well go for the upside (although ware's been barely reaching possible flex value since he's been scoring ~8-9 points the past few weeks)
FML
Diggs loses his questionable tag, and Thielen gets one. I shouldn't complain about achy top-20 WR, but it's annoying AF.
Questioning whether to play Mack instead of Aaron Jones, but those are fleeting thoughts, and I know better

I have to start Marlon Mack and I'm not super confident.
I do have Mike Davis but I'm not messing with Carroll shenanigans.

Ryan and Cooper are going to be in a shootout, like ~48pts. I would take that bet, both Ds are un-well.
While time will tell come Sunday, think Mack bounces back. Seems Jags sold out to stop the run. Colts OL is super good and Mack will get touches to produce. If Carson is back as planned, think making the right call as who knows what will happen with the Seahawks RB rotation.
Someone dropped Luck in my league.. Snatched him up. Thinking of starting him this week over Rodgers. Rodgers has been ho-hum lately and this seems like a Thursday night trap game.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
If you are in PPR MVS, John Brown for standard. also factor in how worried you are about Thursday Night Fuckball
In standard but I'm still leaning MVS since Godgers. Also, no idea who is starting for the Ravens this week and Fuckball tends to lead to more offense
I lost Kupp, because of course I did.
I have Gordon and Edelman but they are on byes this week so I need to rely on John Brown... which might not be a bad thing. I do need help with my TE and DEF situation at the moment.
TE: Tre Burton or Austin Hooper
DEF: BAL or WAS
I'm leaning with Hooper/Washington right now. Also Doug Baldwin is on the wire and I think he might be worth a flier, only because he has a soft schedule starting now. Any thoughts?

Hooper for me. Ertz was ballin vs Dal.
BAL because of Lewis and Jackson coaching combo.
If the game was tonight, RG3 would be the starting QB for the Ravens cause Flacco is injured and Lamar is sick.
Baltimore defense will be facing a lot of short fields if that happens
PSA: Joe Mixon and Adams Thielen are on injury reports this week. Vikings aren't talking about Thielen and Mixon was an odd addition after full participation yesterday. Adjust accordingly, and if you have bench space, snipe Gio if you can. He was an RB1 in the two weeks he was out.
Luck has a fantastic floor of 200-300 yards passing, 3 TDs, and 0-1 picks with no fumbles lost. I see why people dropped him when they saw that upcoming schedule, but if your choice is between Luck at home facing an opponent he's never lost to, or Rodgers on a short week in Seattle of all places...I know what my choice would be.

Yeah I'm with you. My only concern is I plan on starting Mack and Ebron too, but if they all feast then it'll work out.
Aaron Jones vs Julio Jones this week?
PPR, .2points per carry (so for quick reference every five carries is a point).
For those thinking start both, this is a dynasty league where pretty loaded at flex and have no interest in benching any of the other starters.

Julio would be my choice.
I think the DAL secondary is going to get abused.
Had a feeling on Aaron. Guess could've benched Davante but he's been so consistently good didn't want to bench him
Let Aaron eat!!
I feel a little bad because the guy I'm playing this week traded Jones to me for Gio as a handcuff in a last ditch attempt to save his season. But not that bad

Playing against Wilson. Just waiting for a long TD to reverse his situation right now.
Edit: basically just did that. Bunch of passes then a TD.

Darn.
Not complaining about 40 from Jones and Baldwin, but with the way the game was looking in the first half, I was expecting more.
Lol

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a surefire WR2 the rest of season!
1.8 PPR points.
I should've started Boyd instead.

Can I just take a moment to brag about my RBs?
Saquon Barkley
Aaron Jones
Leonard Fournette
James White
Dalvin Cook
Chris Carson
It's all bittersweet, though. I'll only ever be able to start 3 of them. My attempts at trying to trade for a WR1 failed before the deadline.

I got a ton of RBs in my league via trades or waiver claims. About 6 usuable RBs to fill 4 spots (2 flex). Barkley, Fournette, Mixon, Kerryon Johnson, marlon mack, dion Lewis, no one will trade me for good WRs either :/
