Burrow (short week?)

QJ has probably been the most consistent of those, but if you don't like the DEN matchup or Herbert's health, I could see rolling the dice with Coker.

He's a reasonable gamble and a bit of a contrarian play.

Can't wait for the answer to this one.

I asked in the other thread, but will repeat here so it doesn't get lost in the cracks. TD league with 100 yard bonus: start Stevenson @BUF, LaPorta @CHI or Otton @DAL?

If Pickens sits, I'd go with Tua. Going with Rush would be pretty bold - could work out, but probably not the safest play.

I think your choice is between Ford and Smith. Probably okay to go with Ford, but the Browns O could very well put up a dud putting him in the same boom-bust category as Smith. I would have liked the Indy D much better with Levis starting, but they are still a decent start (that game may end up being one of those 9-6 specials).

I guess Spears was the play even with Pollard active - who knew? Anyways, Nabers did good enough to get me to week 16. Same TD league with 100 yard bonus: start Stevenson @BUF, LaPorta @CHI or Otton @DAL?

Weren't the Panthers actually favored?

The QB is a tossup for me. Have a feeling the Pats coming off a bye will play better than expected. Tua & Andrews

I have to recuse myself from the QB call because I've got Mayfield going against Love this week. If an Eagles WR pops this week, I think it's more likely to be Brown than Smith, so go with NWI if you feel you need to swing for the fences. Otherwise Smith, who I would consider a slightly safer play only because the Eagles are a better overall team and less likely to get totally stomped. I'd go with Pacheco, but Harrison is not a bad option if you really don't trust the Chiefs spread-it-around approach.

I'm not a Jeudy believer, and while Nabers' floor has been solid I see very little upside there with DeVito against the Ravens coming off a bye. I'd plug in DHop for one of those 2.

I think you go with Daniels. The only risk is that WAS plays it conservatively against the over-matched Saints - I don't think that is too likely given their precarious hold on a playoff spot. The ceilings are comparable IMO, but I think the Pats will play better coming off their bye and may surprise.

Pollard has logged a couple of DNPs. If he sits, start Spears (v. Bengals) over Nabers (v. Ravens)? TD league with 100 yard bonus (a typical 9-70 from Nabers doesn't help me much in this league).

If you've got a gut feeling and want to play for the home run, go with Pitts (especially if Doubs plays).

Certainly not Tillman. Could possibly consider Stevenson coming off a bye over Moore or Jeudy, but you've probably got it right.

If your gut tells you to go with Rico, that's what you should probably do, but even with the platoon, Monty gets plenty of touches on a way better team. I don't think I'd ever bench him for the likes of Rico.

I hope that's right, because I gotta go against Love this week.

I think I'd go for Henry. Engram may have a slightly better floor, but I think Henry would have the best chance to go off for a 100+ yards and/or a couple TDs.

I think you picked the right pair.

Taylor is probably the best option.

Yeah, I think I'd go with Mooney over Taylor (though the Raiders have been surprisingly tough on WRs for some reason).

Agree - no one really wants to set your entire lineup for you. Best if you can limit it to pick 1 out of 3 or 3 out of 5....

Devonta, Kupp and Metcalf. Metcalf has been quiet, so he is over-due for a blow-up game, but if you really don't want to start him Jeudy has some upside, but I think he gets shut down by KC and they usually don't blow teams out so not much chance of garbage points (also, Tillman might be back to siphon off some targets).

I think I'd just stick with Bates, though in can be maddening when the Lions bypass a lot of FG opportunities with their 4th down aggressiveness. In addition to more potential weather concerns with Butker, there is a always the uncertainty that he may not pick up exactly where he left off coming back from injury.
