Thank you Guru; appreciate the columns, advice, & responses, as always. Cheers!

Q1: What do you do with Drake London, assuming he is practicing? Specifically: for this week (Week 16); first game back post-injury. Auto-start or wait-and-see? Q2: In full-PPR, rank these RB's for Week 15: THenderson, RJHarvey, WMarks/Jawhar Jordan (<--if Marks is out), Aaron Jones. Q3: Would you start Jaylen Waddle over any of the above RB's? <---This question also, a 'what do you do' with Waddle, given the Tua benching. Tx much.

Would go with the better volume play: Harvey.

Hampton for sure. Warren probably the next best.

Yes to what weepaws said.

Denver. I hear tell the GB running backs are pretty banged up. Love already has a tough game…Broncos should be a solid choice this week.

Wilson. Nobody likes the dst matchup, but Brissett ahould at least provide the targets. And: if there happens a garbage-time situation, Wilson could be the beneficiary

RJ Harvey, THenderson, WMarks, Aaron Jones, Stefon Diggs, Jameson Williams, JWaddle 1) Must start 2 RB’s 2) Of the remaining 5 players, must start 2 in Flex positions. please help. Tx

‘’Feelings’ may have no place In FF - but Aaron Jones is from Texas. Would bet his family comes out to see him play & that that is a factor in Jones favor. Dallas D improved, but more vs the pass…they remain <10 unit vs the run. A tough call. I would not play Likely & would instead choose between Jones & Boutte. I lean Jones…more so if the NE/Bills game has bad weather. Boutte coming off a bye week is tempting…

Hampton looked just fine last week. I’d go with the rookie.

Wilson for sure. i like Zay this week in a game that’s probably the best match-up Lamar has seen in a while. Would not blame you for being skittish on that call. Olave is probably safer.

Missed on tonights game…think I would have been scared off Godwin anyway. Probably not Jeudy…hear tell that weather will be awful. Would choose Boutte or Pearsall. Persall is good against man-coverage…not so much vs zone, so is worth checking his opponent on that. I like Boutte coming off a bye…but do check the weather for the game. If no ice, would probably pick Boutte over Pearsall.

Thanks Showboat. Ypu are right…gotta love the line in Rams/Lions…I think it’s 55 right now. I do like Diggs in the ‘revenge’ game + coming off a bye…although neither he not Williams are consistent. I have St Brown too…so could get the lions-share of the WR points in that game. Pun intended. Tx again for the response.

Hard not to start Marks. Cardinals very terrible (bottom 5 dst) vs. the run - and GBay is pretty good. Monitor Marks knee issue…if he is practicing Friday - I’d start him over Harvey (but it’s very close).

Brian Thomas = down. Travis Hunter = up.

For this week (W5), if JWarren is out: Gainwell, Carter, BSmith, BTuten. ROS: As bench-stashes in case of injury Warren/Etienne/Pacheco/Demercado&Benson - the #1 would fall between Gainwell & Tuten…probably Gainwell 1a & Tuten 1b…but it’s close. BSmith 3rd. Carter 4th.

Tyjae Spears, a decent stash.

Opinions on % of faab to go-in on for Demercado? Same question: MCarter? IE: thoughts about the ability of either or both to get consistent RB2 points (ppr or .5ppr) over the next 4-6 weeks? Or, are they more like RB3/flex?

“I want pieces of the Bengals high-powered offense for my ff roster,” said no one in 2025. In other news: Cincy is 2-2. Hope they hang in there.

Christian Watson. Dunno about W5, but his return is worth monitoring @ decent bench-stash.

Don’t forget Darren Waller….mmmmm, good.

Maybe Woody Marks. RJHarvey with at least a taste of groove tonight. Dunno if you can call him a break-out, but Waddle, if he can stay healthy - could impress with Tyreek done for the season. Also: Darren Waller…I just threw up in my mouth…but again, a maybe.

In a league that does not use faab, I have pick#1. Someone dropped Stefon Diggs after W1; he is available (w/a nice W4 statline). Woody Marks is already rostered. All other players being commonly considered after W4 are on waivers (Gainwell, JHill, zScott, KMiller, AMitchell, EAyomanor, etc). Pick up Diggs? Or someone else? Or, stand pat with the #1 pick & wait for next week?

Forgot about Ollie Gordon…got him on the roster too! Don’t really want to drop anyone, but maybe should (Ollie or Ayomanor) if Diggs might be consistently good-as-he-was this past week. Can’t claim to be excited about him, but Drake is ‘rising’ according to the fantasy community. Plus, kicking myself for not scooping QJ after w1…don’t want to repeat -a mistake. Ayomanor looks the part, but whew…is had to see much FF relevance on that team. Talking myself into it…. Not good…

PPR; qb, 2rb, 2wr, 2flex @ wr/te/rb (no mandatory te). Hurts, Henry, Dobbins, THenderson, RJHarvey, Marks, Tuten, StBrown, London, JMeyers, Pearsall, Waddle, Ayomanor. tx Paws. You = the Man.
