Woohoo!! I'm up 106 to 104 - and I've only had FIVE players play so far (to his EIGHT)!!

Full-point PPR league. I'm currently rolling with B-Rob and D'Vonta. Saquon usually struggles @ PHI. Jerome is going against a Top-10 rush DEF (HOU), and CLE is airing it out under Flacco. Zamir - Jacobs might play. And/or, he's not the third-down RB. Jerick - Pacheco is back, and he plays all three downs. I'm currently FLEXing JAX WR C. Ridley. I could sit him for one of the above RBs. Thoughts?

D'Vonta is also no longer an option (like Jerick).

Uh .. I don't have Pacheco? One of the other .. four (excluding Zamir)?

Update: Jerick is OUT for Wk 16. One less option.

Thanks, easily. I also saw that McKinnon is OUT for Wk 16. One less option!

I'm currently going with D'Onta as my RB2. Last week he got replaced after six rushing attempts yielded -6 yards vs. CLE. CHI seems to be passing more the past month - maybe to evaluate Fields before making a decision for next Spring's draft? Also: Fields *CAN* possibly dominate rushing attempts, if that is the game plan. Would you start D'Onta over: Saquon, J. Ford, Z. White and J. McKinnon? (RB1 is B-Rob. FLEXing JAX WR C. Ridley.) Full-point PPR.

12-team, Full PPR Unsure at QB: I'm going with Fields at home vs. ARI. I also have Murray at CHI. Murray went off for 4 (!) TDs vs. CHI, previously. I'm worried about ARI WR1 M. Brown's health. Unsure at RB: Currently going with D. Foreman vs. ARI, J. McKinnon vs. LVR .. and Saquon vs. PHI. I'm debating sitting Saquon for J. Ford. Saquon historically struggles in PHI. I'm also sitting ATL RB B-Rob - can't trust the Head Coach! Let me know what you think. Oh: instead of playing 3 RBs, I could also FLEX: JAX WR C. Ridley (not reliable), NE WR D. Douglas (pass game not reliable), BUF TE D. Kinkaid (Knox stealing looks), or CHI TE C. Kmet (I like BAL's I. Likely as my TE).

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon; RB2 = ATL B-Rob. WR1 = Evans; WR2 = R. Rice. TE1 = I. Likely. I'm currently FLEXing McKinnon. It seems like late every season / and/or whenever the primary 1st/2nd down RB gets injured, McKinnon blows up. He gets "the good work" - 2-minute drill, and RZ work. Thing is: He's at NE, which has a Top-11 DEF vs. RBs, and over the past month, no RB has scored more than 8 pts against them (read that somewhere). I grabbed NE WR1 D. Douglas after I heard he cleared the concussion protocol. KC DEF is 8th worst vs. slot WRs. And, it primarily plays zone. So, he COULD have a good PPR day ( 7 for 70). NE figures to be throwing in the second half, down 7+ points. Other FLEX options: CLE RB1 J. Ford (but, K. Hunt gets the RZ looks..). CHI RB1 D. Foreman (but, CHI QB has so many QB-designed runs..). BAL RB1 K. Mitchell (but, JAX a Top-10 team vs. RBs; Gus likely will get RZ looks, and/or L-Jax..). Thoughts??

If the Chiefs don't win the SB, I expect them to sign a big-name FA WR (M. Evans??) in the off-season. That is what they did when they lost a few years ago, because of O/L issues. I think they signed / drafted three replacements.

Full-point PPR. My RB1 is S. Barkley. I currently have B-Rob as my RB2 .. but I don't like the TB DEF matchup. Also, ATL HC loves giving carries to the other RBs, too. My current FLEX is KC RB2 J. McKinnon, who I really like. Especially with Pacheco out. He's at BUF. I also have BAL RB2 K. Mitchell, who is very efficient, when he gets the ball. But, he splits time with Gus. AND - he's at a tough LAR DEF (top-5 vs. RBs). I was FLEXing Mitchell, before I grabbed McKinnon off the WW. FWIW - I also have CLE RB1 J. Ford, but CLE is now a 3-way RBBC, and Flacco is throwing bombs. Thoughts?

It will be interesting to see where Evans - AND Saquon end up, in 2024. They are EACH dominant in their team's offenses, and neither was tendered a contract this past off-season.

Hmmmm - I'll "append" this thread. HOU DEF @ NYJ, or MIA DEF home vs. TEN? Seems like A LOT of peeps are lovin' MIA DEF this week. TEN is denying D. Henry is concussed. If he is Active, isn't HOU DEF the better play?

Per Rotoworld: Hall was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full on Friday. If he's Active, *I* would not sit him. TEN DEF is awful vs. pass, so gotta also start Downs. At DEF: I'd go with ATL. NYJ QB is plain awful. Thanks for mine.

Full-point PPR. RB1 = B-Rob; RB2 = R. Stevenson. WR1 = M. Evans; WR2 = C. Ridley. TE1 = H. Henry. I've currently got CLE RB1 J. Ford in at my FLEX, @ LA Rams. I'm concerned about: 1) LAR having long drives with Kyren and Cooper; and 2) CLE having short drives with a 38-year old, 1-week of practice QB Joe Flacco. My only other real option is KC WR1 R. Rice, @ GB. He's been pretty TD-reliant, except for last week where he blew up (8/107). While on the road - KC's DEF has been playing well this year, and GB QB J. Love has been either hot or cold. Without RB1 A. Jones and a banged up AJ Dillon, I could see KC dominating time of possession. (Third option is LAC WR2 J. Guyton, @ NE.) Per FFT Stats - both LAR DEF vs. run and GB DEF vs. pass are both Top-10. CLE is 5th running, while KC is only 20th in throwing to WRs. Thoughts? Leave YOUR link; I reply!

I feel better about Stevenson than Ford. Have Stevenson locked-in as my RB2. FLEXing Ford .. but might switch to Rashee Rice, KC WR.

A buddy of mine is in a league with his son, his son's buddies and dads. It is run via Yahoo. He asked me a question the other day. Can the Commissioner see .. "pending" waiver-wire transactions BEFORE they process? I was busy at work, so I didn't get the particulars / "why." My guess is that he wanted Player X, and he was outbid by the Commissioner by $1 or $5, or a small amount. Or - Player X was a "deep dive" player and thought to be off everyone's radar, and again - my buddy got out-bid for him.

Thanks tecklc; you rock!!

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Barkley; RB2 = B-Rob. WR1 = Evans; WR2 = R. Rice, KC. TE1 = Kincaid. I currently have NE RB? R. Stevenson in as my FLEX. Just read FFT's Faves and Fades. I'm considering switching my FLEX to CLE RB1 J. Ford. I also have CHI TE C. Kmet available, who FFT also likes. Stevenson goes up against a somewhat stout WAS rush DEF. AND - he is splitting time with Zeke, which limits his upside. Jerome plays a cupcake ARI DEF - but he only had 10 touches last week because of an ankle injury. Will he get the bulk of the carries THIS week? And, I also have CHI TE C. Kmet, who has a tough matchup on the road at New Orleans. He went from a doughnut in week 7 to a stud-muffin in week 8. He also could be kept in to block against NO's pass rush.. Thoughts?

Fields' injury is really hurting my (auto drafted) team. (My return flight from DAL-FTW was canceled, returning from a vacation..) I "was" rolling with Ridder. What's out there: 1. TEN QB2 W. Levis: monster first week. PIT has a ferocious pass rush, in PIT.. 2. IND QB2 G. Minshew: I read that L/W, the opponent's defense dropped three sure INTs.. This week, at the .. docile Panthers. 3. ATL QB2 T. Heinicke: I rolled with him some in 2022; "decent." Home vs. a MIN team which just lost its Pro Bowl QB. 4. Also: Daniel Jones, Kenny Pickett, and Mac Jones. Thoughts? I was going to put in a bid for Levis. But, just changed it to Heinicke.

Just changed my FA pickup again. Saw that ATL WR1 D. London's groin is bothering him. Gives ATL more reason to pound the rock (even) more than they usually do.. Now bidding for Minshew.

Please fix / address. Thanks.

Full-point PPR. WR1 = Ridley. RB1 = B-Rob; RB2 = Demarcado. NOTE: Two studs very iffy - Saquon and Evans.. I'm currently FLEXing J. Palmer. I switched out Rice from FLEX to WR2, so I have more flexibility on Sunday. Other options are: J. Ford (vs. a tough SF DEF, and with CLE's QB2..), R. Stevenson (maybe; he gashed Vegas for 168/1 before - but NE offense is a mess), or K. Bourne (ugh..). Thoughts? Roll with Palmer as my WR2, and then maybe FLEX Barkley or Evans if Active?

Full-point PPR. Pre-Brady, there were two years in a row that M. Evans only caught ONE pass against NO on the road. Each was a RZ TD. NO's pass defense was very good the first two weeks. Joshua Palmer "produced" last year, when M. Williams was out. LAC is playing a bottom-12 pass defense in the LVR, and will need to pass, as RB2 J. Kelley has done NOTHING. My WR1 is Ridley in a revenge game vs. ATL. Thoughts? Dare I leave "Big Mike" on my bench (I'm FLEXing NE RB Stevenson; RB1 is B-Rob and RB2 is Ford)?

Agreed. I picked up WAS DEF .. and NYG DEF off the the WW for the first two weeks of the season. I'll try to "follow" ARI until either a Team DEF is no longer on the WW, or someone else beats me to it! (Week 3: DAL @ ARI..)
