Only due to the garbage time TD. I wouldn't feel comfortable starting him in the fantasy playoffs given how much they fed Alfred Morris tonight.
I'll most likely go back to Dez in the WR2 slot and Crowder in my Flex with Rod on the bench going forward. I may swap Agholor for Crowder at times, but I hate having 2 eagles wr's going.
I really want to start Josh Gordon. I'm thinking I'll give him a go in my 10 team that I've already clinched in. In my 12 team I'm fighting for a playoff spot and I'm thinking Jordy vs Tampa Bay will be a better option.
someone who's fighting for a playoff spot dropped crabtree(wat). I have a playoff spot locked up so I dropped Sterling Shepard for him since I have no confidence in ever starting him with Geno or the rookie starting for the giants and i'm pretty set as far as receivers go (AJ Green/Thielen/Tate). Thinking about picking up Rodgers though since I don't have a lot of confidence in Cousins rest of season though (I don't want to have 3 QB's rostered, bleh)
The problem with picking up Rodgers and Gordon is trusting them with a playoff game on the line. In 2014 I remember holding onto Gordon for half the season, come playoff time he gave me 2 points.. The earlier Rodgers can come back is week 15 against Carolina. Not the easiest matchup too..
I say that as someone who has Rodgers and Gordon on my roster lol. Come week 15 you won't feel good about playing or benching both..

Do it.
Someone in my NFL league (Locked in the playoffs with a week 14 bye) have 4 QBs (including Rodgers), 2 DEFs, and 2 Kickers.
Only got 4.70 points from Crowder this week. Wish he was more productive since I need to win this game to be in the playoffs
Ya I got 14.9 out of Dak, 4.7 out of Crowder and 8.7 out of Rod Smith.
I have Tevin Coleman, Latavius Murray, Alshon Jeffery, Cameron Brate (Winston is back, he better produce), Chargers D and Zuerlein going still....
He has... Jared Goff, DeMarco Murray, Melvin Gordon, Adam Thielen, Robby Anderson, Kyle Rudolph, Joe Mixon, Panthers D and Gostkowski....
Now last time we playe dI did beat him, but I dunno about this week.
I'm in first place in my main league (9-3; 10 Team). Have the most points for and most against, so this question may not actually matter, but I really don't know who to start this week. Right now I got:
Russel Wilson
Leonard Fournette
Alvin Kamara
Mike Evans
A.J. Green
Zach Ertz
Josh Gordon
Texans D
Will Lutz
On my bench it's:
Matthew Stafford
Kareem Hunt
Carlos Hyde
Tevin Coleman
Tyreek Hill
Robby Anderson
Cameron Brate
I want to start Gordon for kicks, but I'm wondering if I'll regret finally benching Hill. Even more, is a guy like Robby Anderson a better play than an Evans at this point. Not quite sure what to do here

I'm starting Gordon for the kicks in a league I got the #1 seed locked down already. I'm actually playing all my reserves since my opponent is already eliminated so the matchup won't affect playoff seeding for anyone..
That's what I would be doing, but I want the #1 seed. I'm technically the second because the other guy beat me despite me having over 200 more points for
Your Staring lineup is very good. No, keep Evans in. Winston is back and the BUCs will ball out.
I picked up Aaron Jones (GB RB) again as he looks like he might be ready for FF playoffs the following week. Appears to be a game time decision this week. I don't really believe it, but this is positive news as I only have two healthy RBs right now (not counting Jones) with Montgomery and Martin being out.
So frustrated right now - I can clinch the regular season title and a $120 payout in one of my leagues if the second place team loses this weekend - we're both 9-3, but I have a 50 point tiebreaker lead, so if I win and he loses, it's basically over. He ain't making up 50 points in week 14 with his lineup. The guy he's up against could easily win... if he'd set his lineup. He has Kamara on his bench for some reason with Paul Perkins in the flex spot and no kicker. In spite of that he's only projected for 10 fewer points. Kamara alone could win this for him.
I messaged the commish, who is saying he won't set lineups for other owners. He sent out a league-wide message to everyone telling them to set their lineups on Wednesday, but it's Friday, and the guy still has those empty spots.
I swear if I lose the league title by a game because of this, I'm going to fucking lose my shit.

Oh man, this sucks. Some shady stuff can happen sometimes in money leagues, and it looks that's whats happening here.. I would not allow this guy to play again next season.
Ugh im starting to overthink since I got a playoff spot on the line. Alex Collins is still questionable...
I have Darkwa and Ajayi on my bench, and Murray is my other starter.

thielen funchess hyde
jimmy g is a better qb than beathard. this opens things up for hyde (bears can't sell out just to stop the run)
as long as lattimore doesn't play funchess should be fine/just as good as he's been recently. this is also must win territory for the panthers and the saints have a good offense. could turn into a high scoring game.

I would play Hyde/Howard/Thielen
That's a pretty good team you got there btw
Thielen and Hyde are the common denominators.
San Fran's run D is terrible (Howard)
Could see cam having to trow a lot against the saints (funchess)
the thing I don't like about howard is that he's the ONLY weapon on that squad rn
no receiving threats
panthers on the other hand are heating up with olsen back and CMC doing well. this is do or die for the panthers since the NFC South is so close.
I don't think the difference between either is that big, as long as Lattimore is out. If lattimore plays I would go Howard for sure

Honestly considering starting Kizer this week over Dalton or Ape Escape...questions, questions...
I just think that if you're not playing Howard against the worst run D in fantasy and in one of the few games that the Bears are actually favorites, so game script should work in his favor and he should see 20+ touches, you might just leave him on your bench the whole season.
This charges D has been looking scary lately. Think I would play Jimmy G/Bortles/Siemian over Kizer.
I'm kind of directly involved so I can't offer much in the way of feedback... except that I love your nickname for Siemian.
Yeah, I just love Ape Escape and Siemian is roughly the same talent haha
Honestly don't see a lot of value in Kizer Roll, and chargers corners are scary. But the Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman hype trains are +52db, Broncos are in 100% panic mode, and Red Rifle has to play Pittsburgh. I think the top 3 in Fantasy QB accuracy this year are actually split on Ape/Rifle. I'll have to do more research...

Both Coleman and Gordon are great talents but we haven't seen any of those talents blossom with the likes of Kizer Roll throwing them the ball. No reason to think Week 13 will be any different.
You did catch one break at least... I've got to bench Antonio Brown now because of his questionable status for Monday night.
Have to roll with Shepard and Landry now and leave Mixon alone to bat cleanup.

Unless you hear something definitive and reassuring from Schefter or someone comparable before tomorrow's games, I would start someone else if you have them. If Brown is truly a game-time decision and you're rolling the dice, you'll be chancing a zero unless you have someone on the Bengals/Steelers you can pick up and start in his place should he be ruled out. Almost anyone worthwhile on the Steelers is likely owned... even a disappointment like Martavis Bryant... so you're probably looking at scraps on the Bengals like Gio Bernard, Brandon LaFell or Tyler Kroft and they represent a significant downgrade to Brown in a bad matchup.
It's that time of the week where I question my drafting strategy.
So I've got one flex spot and Lynch, Mixon or Duke Johnson to fill it. How screwed am I?

Jones is more reliable in the redzone. But I feel that Tate ends up with a shit-ton of looks underneath
I trust anyone catching a ball thrown by Brees to get more opportunities than Bortles. Indy is truly awful though
Collins. Ajayi and Blount are cannibalizing eachothers touches. Diggs dont live here man, Thielen runs this block
Edit: on second thought, Trufant is out for ATL, I like Diggs against Alford/ Poole

I don't know if their entire offense is hobbled by keeping him out against a pretty hapless Browns team. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sit, or take a lot fewer snaps
The way our playoffs are structured I am currently the overall #2 but may completely miss the playoffs if I lose today. I'm playing the overall #1 seed today too. My team has been boom of bust all season, I'm hoping they boom today.
Do I start Kyle Rudolph or Jack Doyle? I'm agonizing over this one since every point is going to count. Right now I'm leaning towards Rudolph since Atl is terrible against TEs.
