I had a week 15 bye with the #1 overall seed, but fading - and throughout the year, everytime I've zigged, I should have zagged. I have left an epic amount of points on the bench. Semis this week; 12 team full PPR league. I am interested in which players people would pick (my picks highlighted): 1 QB: Drake Maye @ BAL - or - Burrow @ MIA 2 RB: JT vs SF, Omarion @ DAL, Javonte v LAC, Judkins v BUF, (Marks v LV and Charbs v LAR) 2 WR: JJet @ NYG, McMillan v TB, Waddle v CIN, Jauan @ IND 1 TE: Kittle @ IND, Juwan v NYJ 1 FLEX: any of the remaining RB/WR/TE above (Omarion @ DAL - IF QUINNEN IS OUT, Jauan @ IND 2nd choice) K: Borregales @ BAL, Dicker @ DAL D/ST: SEA v LAR (or a free agent that doesn't look appealing unless someone drops something juicy)

I'm starting MIA.

I'm in a similar boat, but don't have either Nix (who would be my choice for you) or Young. I sat Mahomes before I knew that Richardson was hurt, and now - after enduring two mediocre performances from JSN and Charbonnet - have to decide if I can take a chance on Richardson @ NYG, or do I go another direction. Choices include Rodgers (possibly w/out Adams) vs BUF, or Mason Rudolph @ JAX. God help me, I'm leaning Rudolph The Red Nosed Titan. I am starting Ogonkwo @ TE, instead of either Kraft or Ertz, and may try the double dip here.

Green Bay looking impressive.

FU Drake Maye, I started you instead of Mahomosectional because I KNEW he wouldn't produce again, but you're doing NOTHING so far! Get yer azz in the game!

Well, a bit of an interesting development since: opponent had two players underperform on TNF (Deebo and Jauan), and now I'm favored, and am thinking that some hedging may be strategic: he's playing Jayden Daniels, and if he doesn't have a big game, then I should win this week. So - to hedge - I'm now leaning Ertz to offset any Daniels blowup game. WAS has lost Noah Gray, and Ertz is now their #2 passing option.

I have Kraft in there @SEA, but Kraft's #s take a massive hit when Romeo Doubs plays. Pitts is not going to have a softer D to play against than this upcoming Sunday, but we all know the Pittsfalls (groan). Ertz has been relatively solid, and I am playing against his QB Jaylen; winner gets in the money. Last time Pitts blew up, he had been doing nothing, like he has been now. I'm tempting to take the flyer; I can see another big day for him out of the blue. Whatchew guys say?

Stick with talent, and DEN has proven they're talented. They're also going to be motivated to the end.

Yup. Got my usual mediocre fantasy effort from Mahomes. Welcome to my bench, Homie. Glad I picked up Richardson; I'll take my chances there.

Ready for Mahomes usual humdrum mediocre fantasy effort...

Bucky has a hip injury, from what I understand.

Hey Justin Jefferson: how about you not suck FOUR weeks in a row, ok?

Well, now Pickens is out, but so is Walker, and I have Charbonnet. My RBs are Achane and Chase Brown, and my WRs are JJ and JSN, so the last decision is FLEX: Guerendo, Charbonnet, or Dowdle. I currently have Guerendo in there; CHI's run D is porous. Anyone disagree with that?

Thanks for the input fellas; let me complicate it a bit: I also have Pickens to consider. JSN has more targets and is averaging more points per game than Pickens...do I sit Pickens and start JSN in one WR slot (other is Jefferson) and play Dowdle or Guerendo @ FLEX?
