Have 1.08 in rookie draft in a non-SF 0.5 PPR dynasty league. My RBs are rough, so leaning Charbonnet or Miller out of need, but is Kincaid a significantly better BPA value? I think I’ll have a shot at all 3. For context, we start 5 WR/TE per week and these are my top options, so not sure Kincaid is worth me passing on a RB: 1. Olave 2. Metcalf 3. Diontae 4. Hollywood 5. Bateman 6. Doubs 7. Freirmeuth 8. Njoku 9. Trey McBride

Both on bye this week. Both putting up similar great numbers. Wentz more weapons (plus Tate), but better defense and just lost Lane Johnson. Luck playing in Dome during playoffs. Remaining schedules... Luck 10 JAX 11 TEN 12 MIA 13 @JAX 14 @HOU 15 DAL 16 NYG Wentz 10 DAL 11 @NO 12 NYG 13 WAS 14 @DAL 15 @LAR 16 HOU

For context, I'm targeting one of the two in a trade (as their respective owners also have Brees and Mahomes) and cannot decide between the two. I see pros and cons for both, but it really is like splitting hairs. I like Luck as a QB better in a vacuum, but Wentz unquestionably has the better weapons. At bottom, I think both will likely be what and what rest of way, with Luck having the higher ceiling week-to-week.

I need Hightower to outscore Ebron head 2 head in a .5 PPR.

Shields (GB's best CB) is out. GB rolling out two rookie CBs. Starting Cooper in a bounce back game at home in a hopeful shootout.

Sat Cooper last week (thankfully), but really eying a bounce back game this week in a potential shootout v GB. For me it'll boil down to whether GB's top CB Shields is out from the concussion he suffered last week. Shields didn't practice today: "Shields' return will be subject to the protocol for head injuries, but his lack of activity Wednesday indicates that he's still in the early stages. If he's ruled out in Week 15, the Packers will likely trot out a pair of starting rookie cornerbacks (Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins)."

A big filthy FOCK YOU to that focking POS Kelce. Every week I'm bamboozled by him being ranked as a top 3-4 play only to be shat on with his focking 4-6 points. This week he draws a favorable home matchup v. SD and craps out 3 and change. Fock you, you focking Gronk wannabe POS. If I'm fortunate enough to advance then you'll be on my bench for Will Tye ROS you focking fock.

I need 37 points in a 0.5 PPR to advance to the semifinals, with these 4 guys going tonight: OBJ D. Parker L. Miller Josh Brown I'd like to think my chances are 75-80%, but until the points are down on paper it means nothing. Going to be a long, stressful game tonight I fear!

Is there anything to worry about with Yahoo adjusting their scoring of NE DST for week 13? Yahoo currently has NE DST surrendering 28-34 points, which usually triggers negative points for most leagues (mine included). However, 6 of those 28-34 points (not counting XP which all count against team defense) was on a blocked punt returned for a TD by PHI. Does that get blocked punt for TD get overturned to not counting as points surrendered by NE DST? I'm sure many close games, mine included would be affected. In fact, as it stands, I won by ONE point. Should it get changed, I'll lose by one. My melt will be epic.

The only guy I have from that list is Lamar Miller. Things are looking up!

IMO it's really just a combination of factors contributing to his recent dip in production... 1. Rookie wall (a real thing) 2. Crabtree drawing more single coverage, and maximizing his opportunities with it, to siphon looks from Cooper 3. Carr being very streaky with his play 4. Cooper running up against some very good defenses/individual defender (i.e. Det's Slay, Denver D again this week, etc.) I'm benching Cooper this week @DEN but he'll likely be back in my lineup next week, assuming I'm still alive...

Riding KC DST all the way through. SD, CLE, @BAL

Starting at all? Maybe. Starting with confidence? No. Leaning toward DeVante Parker's upside v. NYG on MNF instead.

Not worried about the pick 6 score but PHI's blocked punt return for TD. Assuming that counts as points against the NE DST then I'm good...

Picked up Tamme with Barnidge on bye and rolling with him over the other 2 and Richard Rodgers.

I really, really want to play both Tyrod and Karlos tonight but I'll probably puss out last minute and sit them both for Kirk Cousins (v. NO) and Ryan Mathews (v. MIA). If I'm playing either tonight it'll be Karlos because his floor has been 10 in standard every time he's played. If McCoy goes out early, or they split carries (which I can see as reasonable), even better...

Kendall Wright looks like he'll miss week 9 with a sprained MCL, and Harry Douglas is still out. That leaves Justin Hunter and probably Dorial Green-Beckham as TEN's starting WRs v. a terrible Saints pass D. In a game where TEN will almost assuredly be trailing and throwing a ton, and Mariota back on the field, both Hunter and Green-Beckham become intriguing options with huge garbage time point potential. Is this Green-Beckham's long-awaited breakout game?

Exactly. If you're gonna go down, may as well go down swinging! This all of course hinges on both Wright and Douglas being out this week. The latest on Douglas is he "plans to practice" this week...

Fock you to both the rain and Luck for sucking a focking dong in the rain. I need 60 and TD from Moncrief, or any combo that gets me to 12.2 in a .5 PPR, and the POS can't even get a reception on account of the aforementioned fockers. Fock it all.

Was just gonna say this - I foolishly listened to all the "experts" last week who said Cooper was a "sit" against SD and sat Cooper for John Brown and Moncrief. While the latter both scored, neither approached the total Cooper put up. In response to the OP, I'd say it's more appropriate to say who has the balls to SIT Cooper ROS? Not I, for one...

Here's a sneak play that I'm likely going to roll the dice on: Saints at home v. NYG. In my standard league, which is very conservative on Team D/ST scoring (i.e. 1 pt per INT, 4 pts per TD), the Saints put up the following totals over the last 2 weeks against good offenses: v. ATL - 12 (5 sacks, 3 Fumble Rec, 1 TD) @ IND - 7 (4 sacks, 2 INT, 1 Fumble Rec) The Saints D appears to have quietly turned a corner recently and is finally getting healthy in the secondary. For those who can stomach a low floor, at home v. Eli could make for another 4-5 sack game with a turnover or two. Another option is TEN @ Foster-less HOU, but that may hinge on Mariota playing.

Please make "ODB" stop. It's OBJ. His name isn't Old Dirty Bastard, or O. Dell Beckham Jr. It's Odell. /minirant P.S. Yes I'm rolling out OBJ on MNF.

I'm actually debating picking up Thompson and starting him with a few guys on byes, but didn't even think about Riddick (who's also available). I wouldn't consider DMC personally.
