I've made the playoffs which start for me in week 15. Which of the following DST's do you like the most for week 15? I'm leaning Dallas or KC but I never pick the right DST. KC (at Clev) Hou (Mia) Pitt (@Phi) LAC (TB) DAL (Car) Phi (Pit)

yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm more afraid of Baker having a big day for the Bucs than I am of the Pats doing much

I've made the playoffs, which start week 15. I just lost CMC and I'm very thin at RB. I'm about to cut 3 bench guys which will give me space to add 3 high end RB backups in case of an injury to the starter. Please tell me your favorite 3 of the following. I'm eyeing their weeks 15-16 matchups, which I've listed next to their name. T.Benson (NE, CAR) E.Wilson (Sea, NO) K. Hunt (Clev, Hou) B.Allen (Jax, LAR) Vidal (TB, Den) R. Davis (Det, NE) Akers (Chi, Sea) Charbonnet (GB, Minn)

not worried about Davis' week 15 matchup vs. Det ? That could be a very tough run D to face.

Ari plays Sea in week 14. I'm only looking at weeks 15 and 16. Ari plays NE in week 15 and Car in week 16.

forgot to mention that Arizona is available and they have NE at home.

1/2 ppr

what's your opinion on Dallas vs Carolina?

1/2 ppr. Tracy vs Wash or MHarrison vs Chi

Assuming Etienne is out-- Bigsby vs. GB (worried about GB going up, negative game script, etc) or M.Harrison at MIA Which one? 1/2 ppr

right, ARI seems to run the ball no matter what, even when they are losing. But my gut tells me it's a get right squeaky-wheel game for Harrison. That said, I'm looking for a reason to start Bigsby if Etienne is out, and the fact it's a "home game" doesn't do much for me. Tank doesn't catch passes and will be pulled for D'ernst Johnson if they go into pass mode. GB has given up a lot of yards to rushers in previous weeks....

1/2 ppr. please pick one for my flex Bigsby vs GB (assuming Etienne plays) * if Etienne is out, I'll start Bigsby Dowdle at SF Ferguson at SF Watson at Jax Wicks at Jax

Lockett for sure. He's got the best QB, playing at home, favorable game script. See mine:

My running back situation is horrible this week because of bye week. I have to start two of these losers. Which two would you start. Assume that Singletary will play and that Taylor is once again out. Half PPR. Dowdle (Det) - should be the lead back but DET has solid run defense Singletary (Cinci) -- assume he is playing, but will split with Tracy Tracy (Cinci) -- assume Singletary is playing Bigsby (Chi)-London -- Chi has a weaker run D, but assume Etienne plays Sermon (at Ten) - assume Taylor is out

where you seeing that Sermon missed Thurs practice? I read that Sermon was present for practice on Thursday (reported by James Boyd of The Athletic).

If Stevenson sits and Gibson is the starter vs Hou would Gibson jump either Bigsby or Dowdle?

thanks. I'm thinking along same lines. Every ranking has Dowdle as the highest ranked of the group, but I'm guessing Det's defense is scaring you off?

anybody seeing any update providing the results following Rice's knee procedure today (Monday, Oct. 7)?

The Ekeler owner just offered me Ekeler for Jacobs. Do I take it? 1/2 ppr. I've already clinched a playoff spot and a bye, so I'm really only concerned with weeks 16 and 17. Their schedules those 2 weeks: Ekeler: Buf, @ Den Jacobs: @KC, @Ind Ekeler looks a tad slow and maybe nagging injury, but better offense and easier playoff schedule. I'm worried about Raiders offense in general and the week 16 matchup @ KC could be rough, although he did just have a good game against them but that was because of one huge 60 yard run/TD. Without that it would have been a bad game.

If you'd like a really sharp analysis of the way Baltimore used Mitchell last week, listen to the analysis here on Beyond the Box Score (CBS). It's from the 30:50 mark until 33:50. Just scroll to that section. Good stuff.

...is leaving the station.

Not true. He was used early in the game. 5 carries in the first half, 4 carries in the second half. Rotated with Gus. He ripped off his two long runs in the 3rd and then 4th quarter. J.Hill was used on a bunch of carries late in the game after it was out of hand. It was Gus and Mitchell. Mitchell looked much more explosive to me. Hit 21 mph on his best run, which is a record for all Ravens runners this season. Only downside is the crowded backfield.

1/2 ppr. Palmer is out for Chargers, so Johnston should see more snaps. Which one?

That ranking of Shaheed was before Josh Palmer being OUT was confirmed

What do we know about his knee injury? I know he’s on IR, but did they ever release any specific information about the nature of the injury? Do we know anything about what he did to the knee? Can’t decide whether to try to make an offer for him unless I know something specific about the injury itself.
