The Football Guru 216 Posted December 27, 2022 As you likely remember from the last two weeks: I would like to use my final column of the season to answer your start/sit questions for the fantasy playoffs. Please ask them below or tweet me @DougOrth. All I ask is that you include anything that would help me sway my decision one way or the other, especially if there is an unusual scoring setup.

jrokh 583 Posted December 28, 2022 Alright Guru, after some shaky advice last week, it's time for some redemption, this time for the 'chip. Half-ppr assuming Pollard can't go Thursday night his replacement should be: 1)Jeudy@KC 2) Najee@ Balt 3) Godwin vs. Carolina, 4) or the hot hand James Cook @cinci. Thanks.

Last week was bizarro world for Hopkins. 10 targets = 1 catch for 4 yards. The bizarre part of it is that the other Cardinals receivers did ok. I wonder if he 'quit' ?

I feel the best about Lawrence. I am dealing with the same Minshew/Purdy debate in a league or two myself. I can see a scenario in which SF runs the ball about 40 times and lets Purdy relax this week. I don't think that is as likely for Minshew. #2: I think starting three WRs is the way to go here: Hill, Higgins and Watson. I am not sure I could sit Mixon, but I think McKinnon has the most upside. I would pick up Walker for sure just so your opponent can't play him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd suggest getting a good qb early They scored a combine 72 points, plus I owe Evans who I played over Watson. And for a bonus I’ll be getting a healthy Henry back next week Vs the Jags, Henry’s last four games Vs the Jags he’s produced 99 total ff points. And I started Goff at Qb. I’m taking a good size league into round 2 week 2 , that’s for the championship, and I’m first in total points. And I also own Waller , a single digit round TE, who was dropped when he missed many games, Thank you Jesus. Next season when you wait to draft your Qb and TE in the double digit rounds, and do something that’s strange to you winning a ff championship you can think me. Welcome. Ps you can send that 60 dollars for losing that bet of who would score the fewest points last week, you took Pollard, and then wanted to flex some muscle, and I first took Watson, then I changed it to Hopkins based on Zona starting their third string Qb. Watson and Hopkins both scored less then Pollard, and they scored less than Pollard combine. So you need to send a check to the Ronald McDonald House here in Reno Nevada. 323 Maine St Reno NV 89502. Thanks. And you owe Sean 20 dollars because he picked Dobbins who scored less than Pollard. Plus you still need to apologize to Sean. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
