I don't think that's it. The Lions O has evolved such that Gibbs and Amon Ra are the only constants. Others (Jamo, Monty, LaPorta) may get a spike week here and there but essentially have no floor.

No - he only shows up when playing against me.

Agree - the third quarter is too early to be doing that unless you are down by 24.

FU L.McCaffrey - the only scrub Washington receiver without a catch.

D. Smith hasn't done diddly squat all season - of course he goes off against me this week.

with Deebo now being ruled out, start L.McCaffrey or C.Moore against a leaky DAL D over Waller @CLE in potentially nasty weather?

Any solid news that Egbuka is likely to play? He's part of the reason I'm in this pickle. Everything I've seen put's him as a GTD on the wrong side of questionable - I don't expect him to play. Sitll, I'd prefer Moore or Mccaffrey over any of the Buc WRs - I think it more likely that Mayfield spreads the ball around between Johnson, Johnson, Shepard, and Otton.

Rank the following 4 TEs for week 7 (no PPR, standard scoring) - due to injuries I may need to flex 2 or 3 of these guys: Ferguson v.WAS (role if Lamb is back?) Waller @CLE (the Dolphins are a bit of a mess right now) LaPorta v.TBB (the Lions have a lot of mouths to feed) Fannin v.MIA (Njoku status?)

Nearly topped the 47 in one run.

I'd roll the dice with Tez if Egbuka sits - with the state of the Lions secondary that should be a high scoring game.

Probably Pittman, but if there is a week for TreVeyon to breakout, this is it.

If looking for more of a floor: Shepard and JJ If looking for a higher risk ceiling: Worthy and Mims If looking to balance risk-reward: Worthy and Shepard

Taylor should get a ton of targets, so he is probably the best option among those but I wouldn't feel good about having to start him. Mayer could be a sneaky alternative assuming Bowers remains out, but is as just as likely to face-plant.

Wilson might attract a bit more attention from the defense. Without him maybe they focus that extra attention on keeping Fields in the pocket to prevent him from doing damage with his legs..

The real question is if Ferguson maintains value when Lamb comes back.

Ha! I got Chase Brown, too, and Nabers and McLaurin. Egbuka had been keeping me somewhat competitive (when not having to face career weeks from Jeanty and Tucker - yeah he was started against me THAT week), but now he is banged up, too. Just been one of those fff seasons.

In this age where "facts" don't exist, the powers that be can twist the data to support whatever narrative they want to promote . With both the league and the union, every decision is always about maximizing revenue and profit (regardless of the narrative they are trying to sell).

Being on my fantasy team is an absolute kiss of death for kickers. Started the season with what I thought was a good kicker on a decent offense with McLaughlin. After nearly missing more kicks that he was making, I dumped him for Shrader. He was okay for for a couple of weeks but then lands on IR. Of course, McLaughlin starts tearing it up during that time, but he is still sitting on the wire. Needing a kicker, I get him again just in time for him to start missing kicks and getting limited opportunities. This probably belons in the FU thread, but thinking about offering a service where I let you know who my kicker is so you can be sure to avoid.

Guess he turned into Courtland Sutton.

I guess this will be another dud week for Sutton.

Instead of banning the play, I don't know why they don't just officiate it correctly (using replay assist if necessary). The play will naturally go away if 4th and 1 too often turns into 4th and 6.

JSN is the no-brainer. After that here is a lot of question marks. I'd rank them: McLaurin would be a good option against the Bears on Monday night, but is doesn't look like he will play. Diggs is a decent bet to continue his hot streak. Olave should see a bunch of targets. Pearsall and Jennings may be back limiting opportunities for Bourne (but if neither play I'd go with him over Olave). Henderson still seems to be at best a 1B to Stevenson - you are kind of depending on another fumble. Vidal should have some kind of role - the matchup is nice, but no real clarity on how the beat-up Chargers will use him (or if their run game will be effective at all). Warren looks to be back, so who knows how the Steelers will handle their RBs.

Hopefully, you stuck with your hunch and did the opposite of what we all said here.

Yeah, I think you stick with Love coming off a bye against the hapless Bengals over Dart on a short week against an Eagles team who will be ornery after last Sunday.

FYI, the Chargers are playing in Miami. I think I'd stick with Waller. I have a similar decision and expect to be going with Waller over Chase Brown and McLaurin (unless there are solid news reports that he will be a full go on Monday night).
