Myles Gaskin or Darrel Williams at RB2?
Ted Lange as your Bartender

Without fully knowing Swift’s status for today, assuming he’s active, which of these two would you BENCH in PPR:
Justin Jackson, D’Andre Swift, Melvin Gordon, Hunter Renfrow, Devante Parker, Josh Palmer
Justin Jackson, D’Andre Swift, Melvin Gordon, Hunter Renfrow, Devante Parker, Josh Palmer
Hard to trust either but with no Kelce, rbs may be more used so I think I prefer DW

Semi finals in a tight match. Like everyone else losing players right and left. SF ppr 6pt tds for all
QB choose between JJohnson vs Cin Newton/Darnold vs Bucs Wilson vs Jaqs Whoever starts for Det vs Atl
Flex between Swift vs Atl Freeman vs Cin Carter vs Jaqs D Johnson vs NO
Ugly choices for playoffs, but any help is appreciated

Dalton Schultz or Michael Gallup at Flex (PPR)

Why? Bad weather favors the WR because he knows where he is going and the DB has to react. However it can be hard on the QBs.

If Swift plays, the two I would bench are Palmer and Gordon.
Sometimes we can outthink ourselves, as I'm thinking of benching Barkley for Knox because of the target share he could get and Barkley's ankle and Booker.

Schultz should see more play I think. Cooper asked for more targets this week, most likely at Gallups expense

I may be wrong on this, but Gallup seems so hit and miss. TEs are always risky, but the few Cowboy games I've seen Dak seems to like Schultz.

with Lamar and Huntley both out need to choose between Lock vs LV or Johnson at Cincinnati. Nothing left to choose from. not good..

yeah that's the direction i was going, thanks

Moore is probably the right play even with the potential hammy issue.
If you don't want to risk DJ leaving early you need to somehow confirm wind on the field in Seattle. High wind start Penny, low wind start Mooney.

Bad wording. Chase plays for Cincy. If you meant Chase Claypool at KC, I would play Claypool over Patterson, even with the QB situation.

PPR flex I'm down to these two, need 1
Darrel Williams- Steelers are a run funnel, Kelce out opening up intermediate targets, D. Will is the receiving back and goal line back
Tyler Johnson- taking over the Godwin spot in the slot which has been the #1 option in an Arians offense. Johnson is known as a good blocker, Arians has been quoted that his best blocking WR's will be rewarded with targets

Mainly because of the wind. Could be over thinking it. Forgot to add I have Justin Jackson or Thielen I could add.
"Wind chill values between 14 and 20. North northwest wind 15 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph."

Hardly seems like wind chill to me, but I live in Minnesota. Plus, 21 mph gusts isn't so bad either. Yes, you are overthinking it. I would never bench someone because of that anyway. If it was a downpour so bad it affects the QBs, okay, but even then, a wet field favors the WRs over the DBs because they know their route and DBs have to react.

Tks, it will be ugly regardless. 14 team league with Covid strikes again. Considering starting both over a gimpy Theilan but I just can’t do it.

Great observation and it looks good on paper, but how many times has that blown up in our face? He asked whether to play Schultz or Gallup and I still would play Schultz over Gallup even if Mel Blount was guarding him.
Yeah I botched that. Zero chance I’d play Claypool over Patterson. Claypool has been playing like 30 snaps per week recently.
Debating Ja’Maar Chase vs Baltimore or Patterson vs Detroit. Thanks.

I have what I think is a tough one. 0.5pt ppr. Need 2 out of the following—at least one rb.
J. Williams—might be a decent play with swift out
Darrell Henderson-don’t know what his role will be
Emmanuel sanders—Gabe Davis and i think Beasley out
I. McKenzie—same reasons as Emmanuel
My opponent is currently projected to win by 15 and he does have josh Allen as one of his two starting qbs (superflex league)

Cooper whining about touches and with Cee Dee Lamb, no freaking way would I play Gallup over Schultz. I don't have the target numbers in front of me, but my guess is that Schultz has out targeted Gallup by a wide margin.In my standard league I would absolutely start Gallup over Schultz today.

Swift is ruled out—so you can bench him. I would not bench renfrow just because he should be a target monster. I feel like Justin Jackson could be in line for a big number of carries with ekeler out. I think that would make me narrow it down to benching devante, palmer, or melvin.

No problem. I respect and value your opinion. I just disagree for this particular game.

PPR. Struggling between D Freeman and Theilen.
Worried Theilen will tweak his ankle or it wouldn’t even be a question…Leaning his way but with a 3rd string QB Freeman feels guaranteed to get touches although against a pretty good run D…he hasn’t been catching enough passes for me to feel comfortable that he’ll get a bunch of short receptions from a bad QB, so it’s possible he gets game scripted out

Connskins - I'm taking Devonta over better receivers than Thielen. Think he should be good for a fair bit of work given the QB issues and ought to be a flip to score

I currently am leaning J. Williams, and D. Henderson—but I seem to be waffling back and forth.
jvdesigns2002
Footballguy
I feel like either one should be a solid play. Knox hypothetically should command more targets with Davis out and Harris should get more carries with Stevenson out. I think i personally might lean Harris just because I think he’ll get more opportunities—but it’s not by much at all. This literally might be almost a true coin flip type of situation.

Rank these RBs please in NON-PPR
Zeke Elliott
Miles Sanders
Justin Jackson
Alexander Mattison
Sony Michel
-Didn't play Wilson and filled one of my 3 spots with Aaron Jones yesterday, not completely empty but not a lot.
Just so you know I lean this way...1-Mattison, 2/3-Jackson-Sanders, 4-Zeke, 5-Sony...think even if they run him as lead back it might not be a terrific day today for him. Still think Staff and passing game will rule mostly there.

I would go Williams. NO shuts down all run games and the Dolphins don't seem to run much. Steelers are a run funnel D and no Kelce
ConnSKINS26

I think Freeman is guaranteed at least 15-18 touches, I just worry about the quality of those touches with Johnson at QB. Going 16/50 and 2/19 would be a bummer. I agree he feels like a coin flip for a TD but I remember Johnson leaned more run than pass from the pocket when he was in Washington, and there’s always the threat of L Murray GL TD vultures.
Just talking out the opposing viewpoint, I’m still not sure which way I’m going between him and Theilen.
