Thank you, Guru. Last game worked out great, in part thanks to your help this season. Havent been #1 in a while…feels great. Thank you to the many other members here for your individual advice this year. You all make this board the best in fantasy. Hope you had great success this week & this season.

Conner as well. Dude is averaging almost 5 yards per carry…in of all places…Zona…. If anyone is going to score for AZ, about 75% it will be him.

Tx; i picked up Mims today on the 'maybe flex-worthy' if Sutton is out due to concussion. Just curious if any info on Stidham. I see that he took his first (4) snaps in last weeks game...so there's probably not anything to go on. Mims = probably stays benched.

Ravens

Stidham? If Sutton plays (Jeudy, BJohnson, Mims/RB-group)...same/better/worse value for the Broncos skill players with Stidham behind center?

12 team; full PPR. Was second-best all season & finished that way, thankfully earning a bye. Won playoff & now play the league-best team in the final. I am limping in though…lost Kirk, Tank, & now Waddle & Pacheco seem unlikely, got Aiyuk but a busted-up Purdy.... Unless Pacheco recovers (& who knows about Waddle...), I will have to start 3 of the following 7. Need the most-likely best (3) scoring options - and amongst all candidates, would appreciate an opinion on 1 who is most likely to ‘boom.’ Against this league-best manager, I'd like to balance certain points against a possible gamble on 1 player who has a good chance to hit big. TChandler (good matchup, but Mattison...& qb swap) Marquise Brown (if he plays; great matchup?), DGoedert (mid matchup; but playing well), Jameson Williams (role increasing?), DWicks (if CW or JR out), MMims (Sutton concussed...if he plays, great matchup, & qb-swap), JDowns (mid-matchup; but Colts have a must win). Bonus: Waddle...now reported as a might play. With a 'not serious high ankle' and vs. Baltimore - he is trustworthy?

Good call on McKinnon *if* Pacheco is out. Khalil Shakir warms up this week, then explodes in the last 2. Ty Chandler wins leagues.

Q1) In full PPR - Start 2 of 4 (bench 2): Pacheco (@ GBay), Downs (@ Titans), BHall (vs. ATL), Kirk (vs. Cincy). Right now, I have Breece sitting on the news that he’s dealing with a hamstring issue & the less-than-great matchup - and Kirk is also benched. Change my mind? Q2) Got both the Jets & ATL dst squads. They play vs one-another, in NY. Which DST unit to start this week?

Hill

Can’t call it. Would view ‘Rankings,’ this site & others, then go with the combined consensus.

Mine: ‘Starts vs. Sits’ = not far down the scroll. Would appreciate your feedback.

Rice. Lot of folk on this board & elsewhere with strong opinions that the Rams dst is going to feast on Cleveland this week. Seems like there might end up being a lot of throws by Flacco in between a bunch of sacks & interceptions. I really dig Ford for his playoff run…but this week what with the qb carousel seems dicey. I wouldn’t be over the moon on Rice, but his floor seems about the same as Fords - and his ability to blow-up seems much higher. (Would play Rice over Guyton too). Nice question; good luck.

Yes to Stevenson.

I think (hope?) if TE plays, he’ll be fine. Said differently, if he plays - you should start him. Other options: A) if DJohnson & TankB are out there, you could drop your crappiest bench player ‘now’ then wait for the MNF news, & if TE is out, pick up DJ or TB. B ) what you said & roll with one of the other 3 you mention. Wilson looked pretty good last week. 50’ish yards & some catches: maybe he does that & flops in for a td…. Yikes all around, but at least the Etienne news seems generally positive for now.

Nice, especially so w/Moss, given the Taylor injury. Looks solid, man. I’d probably keep Spears; you may never play him but (…just like with Moss/Taylor), you have a league winner is Spears if Henry goes out. Others may disagree, but Mitchell, although he may have spikes w/big play ability (which, is his draw for rostering), does not seem likely to rise past rb3 level. Bad schedule + 3 ravens rbs make him a great flex, nothing more. And: in dropping Davis and Rice (esp Davis), you have planted landmines for other managers to pick up. Hopefully, your playoff opponents will start these players against you, resulting in the 0-7 point floor for both these guys. Genius move; you are the best ff manager ever. Good luck winning first place.

Yes; . Browning.

Much depends on you roster & depth-by-position. In a vacuum of Mitchell vs. Spears - I’d rather roster Mitchell, on the thought that he more play/flex worthy than Spears in most weeks. Alternatively, and by way of anecdote: i have Bijan & Allgier. I’ve never started Allgier (& never will) but i will never drop him either. ATL has a great playoff schedule for rb’s, and should Bijan get hurt, Allgier could keep me in the hunt to win a ff championship. Allgier is my only handcuff…i like to roster 1 such player on my bench, usually behind my best-of-best talent. (Got Pacheco & Breece too, and am uninterested in McKinnon/Cook). Spears is extremely talented, and like ATL, the Titans have a grear playoff run for rb. I would probably be hesitant to drop him. Definitely would change my mind if little/no rb-depth and/or if Mitchell is in position to be a league-winner (which seems unlikely). Good luck w/your decision.

I would not drop Aaron Jones unless absolutely desperate.

Gus has 20+ point games in 4 of the last 6 weeks. I’d guess that he won’t sustain high-end production like that for r.o.s., simply based off the Ravens schedule. <— it aint good for rb’s. The presence of Keaton (and Hill too) adds to the concern. I would not say he is ‘done’ by any means; he may still be low-rb2/rb3/flex worthy, but the rb1 weeks are probably gone. Mitchell is in the same boat as far as schedule. He sure is fun to watch and could spike a few games, but it doesn’t seem like he will win a ton of running volume with Gus & Justice in the mix. I am *hoping* he will be a nice flex option moving forward, and want to roster him, but wonder if he will be a ‘boom/bust’ type of play from week to week.

Who is the winner?

What you & weepaws just said. Dortch probably is a decent flex this week. He (and Boyd) are likely to be dropped & picked back up from week to week. Hopefully no-stress with this decision. There will be another Dortch/Boyd type to be had next week too

Nice weepaws! Man, i was kinda thinking you’d tell me to keep Pacheco & swap out Downs for another. Hummmm…your unexpected opinion gives me pause…

I’d play Warren over both NHarris & JFord. It’s close…this site (for example) has all 3 in ‘tier 4,’ ranked within 5’ish spots of one another. Am sure other sites may flip these 3 around…but probably not by much. Warren just looks better to me…dude can be just flat out explosive. Tough to get it right. 33% chance of success!! Good luck.

Herbert, with confidence.

Agree; Kupp.
