    FLEX: Rhamondre, Jerome, or Cole?

    So, Ford or Kmet? I agree with Ford. Kmet is a bit of a gamble because there is no floor - you just don't know if you are going to get week 7 or week 8. I am pretty much forced to start Stevenson so it's probably best to avoid starting him.

    Deshaun Watson Will Start Week 9

    The matchup is great, but the risk is that he tweaks something again and taps himself out in the first quarter. It's difficult to start him with any confidence until he shows he can play a complete game. Maybe need to monitor what the Browns are doing with respect to a 3rd QB?

    Bill Belichick is a Facade. Not a good coach!

    The real question is who is a good coach? Lombardi? Where would he rank without Starr, Hornung and Taylor? Noll? He didn't fair so well after the Steel Curtain got old and Bradshaw retired. Landry? Ditto in the post-Staubach era. Would Bill Walsh be considered a great coach without Montana and Rice? Shula wasn't able to win it all with Marino for nearly 20 years - is he an even worse coach than BB? Gibbs is an interesting case in that he won three titles with 3 (or 4) different QBs, but those teams were built around the Hogs. Jimmy Johnson built the juggernaut Cowboys that even Switzer couldn't screw up, but he wasn't very successful in his later stint with the Dolphins. Reid's Eagles couldn't break through - would he even be in the conversation if not for Mahomes? It is silly to think that any coach could have success without great players. I believe it was Parcells who would say that you are what your record says you are. The sustained success of BB is unprecedented for any coach, especially in the era of free agency.

    WR + Flex 0.5ppr

    Agree, Lockett and Addison. The Vikings QB situation may give a reason to go with Hubbard, but didn't ATL just get torched by Will Levis?

    Need a bye TE replacement for Kittle

    Longer term maybe - this week with a QB making his first start against the Browns? No thank you.

    Need a bye TE replacement for Kittle

    Of those options, Hill is the choice. Although he's provided no reason for optimism, Pitts is a tempting option on the potential that Heinicke gets him the ball, especially if London sits.

    PJ Walker or Jordan Love

    Probably PJ - Jordan not showing much life.

    Help to Pick 2

    I'd consider starting both Hunt and Ford and probably Smith.

    The Lions need to get rid of those ugly drab uniforms.
