Showboat

If Jones is active, you play him and if not you can always start Watson. If you aren't allowed to wait Mon night, it's a bit of a risk but I still think you go with Jones.

Edited and bumped after the Thursday night debacle.

Who to start in Week 5: C. Sutton vs Jets (Tough D, but I got a weird feeling that this game could turn into a shootout - especially if I bench Sutton) S. LaPorta vs Panthers (Will LaPorta be the beneficiary of all the Lions injuries or wiill it be his usual 5-50 with Monty being run into the ground?) No PPR

FU to Thursday football. Herbert is finally getting on a bit of a roll only to come up lame. Washington throws 51 passes for nearly 400 yards and their #1 WR gets five targets for less than 50 yards - it's unbelievable that NFL coaches can't figure out that not getting the ball into the hands of their best players equates to losing.

FU to McLaurin - at least game script is no excuse now.

Hopefully that gets Washington to focus a bit more on pass D to open some lanes for Herbert.

Maybe the directive came down from the league office to spot the Bears a TD or 2 so that it can be a competitive game.

Love

Sit Pollard.

I voted Love, but I'm not sure I'd bench Burrow for either one. At some point, talent figures out how to play with injury, etc. Against the Cards seems like a good opportunity to do that (unless you just think Burrow is somehow washed up or too injured - but he doesn't appear to have any injury designation this week.

Depends what you want. I think Najee has a lower floor and will get touches (even though the Pitt O stinks and Warren is waiting in the wings. Deebo always seems to be dinged up and is more boom-bust - certainly a higher ceiling but you'll have to be a bit lucky to pick the booms correctly.

If you have to pick one or the other, I don't know how you can bench Achane (and I don't see how the Dolphins can stop giving him a lot of touches).

Stick with Goedert. He may be inconsistent (most TEs are), but I think he'll have some blow-up games down the road.

Agree you should just stick with Dak. I think that's why your are keeping a second QB - if you aren't going to start him here, you should just drop him. Howell has a juicy matchup, but he could also faceplant.

It is close, but I'll go with Daniel. His only decent game (well half) was against the Cards when they thought they could stop playing defense. The Cowboys made both of them look like high school QBs, but Mac was at least performing as a game manager who could keep the Pats in their other three games.

"Swift, Taylor" - not sure you'll get Mr. Kelce to sell.....

Reverse jinx worked perfectly. Next week the Broncos probably blow them out. It seems that the Chiefs stopped playing after the first quarter and Mahomes expects magic to happen every time he flips the ball into the air (kinda' like Josh Allen in the first week)..

Well, the Jets will have an opportunity to be a bit more competitive against the Broncos next week.

The Panthers D along with the Jaguars D are the best ever. Meanwhile that "dominant" Eagles D is looking more like swiss cheese.

The Lions just might lose this yet.

Hopefully that means the Lions keep their foot on the gas.

Well, 2 TDs are nice, but I'm not sure that 11-29 is stellar.

That, you certainly did!

Aaron Jones is not really healthy and just a decoy?

I keep hearing the Eagles D getting hyped by the talking heads, but they seem to have a lot of lapses that are concerning. They were giving up chunk plays on the Bucs touchdown drive and not just dink-and-dunk plays that would be expected by a "prevent" defense (which usually only prevents winning).
