#1 seed so had 1st round bye. Back to work this week with a lot of tasty matchups but someone has to sit…

1 QB - Nix over Goff

1 RB - McCaffrey

2 WRs - Sutton, Evans

1 TE - Waller, JJohnson or Parkinson? 

2 Flex - ? ? 
CBrown, Moore, Jefferson, JHiggins

I'll get the TE part of your question now because Parkinson plays on Thursday. Parkinson is my answer. Waller is tough to bench given the ridiculously good matchup, but I don't want my fantasy fate tied to a rookie quarterback making his first start, especially one I didn't like all that much in the draft process. Johnson probably gets a little bump because Vele is out, but I think it is just as likely that the Saints try to exploit the Jets LBs with their running backs in the passing game (just like the Jags did last week). I think weather might be the only thing that keeps TNF from being a smash spot for Parkinson.

I appreciate the thoughts but I just couldn’t bring myself to start Parkinson after I’ve been holding Waller specifically for this week. If any bad news comes before Saturday I can pivot to Johnson. 
I would still be very interested in your thoughts on my Flexes. Stunning to think I’m benching Jefferson, but tentatively going with CBrown & Moore

I wish I had seen this; I need help deciding on RB3 in ppr, 1 point for every 5 carries, 1 pt every 10 yards, and 3 bonus points for 100 yards rushing. My other starters are Bijan and Achane.

I've got and need just 1 of the following:

Rico Dowdle vs Tampa Bay

Quinshon Judkins vs Buffalo

Breece Hall @ New Orleans

Aaron Jones @ NY Giants

 

I was going to go with Judkins.  All 4 have good matchups. I researched all of their recent usage and production and decided to go with RIco Dowdle. Hoping @The Football Guru sees this and offers his advice, pretty please?

This is my Championship already; cumulative score over weeks 16 & 17. Only four make the playoffs in my league.

I feel the most confident in Jones.

[Phil Simms 11]

I’ve been contemplating Jones in ppr as well. Benched Mclaurin last minute for Wandale. 

 

Going:

Wilson WR

Wandale Flex

Javonte Dallas Flex

 

Bench Meyers and A Jones

Please keep those questions coming for Week 17 ...

Made the wrong calls in week 16 so my season is done.  I'll go with a keeper question: Is Devin Neal a worthwhile hold or is it better to keep Sam LaPorta in the hope that he returns to a more prominent role in the Lions offense next season?

Sorry to hear that. Dynasty questions are definitely welcome, though.

Goedert with the tough matchup @Buffalo or roll with Taysom Hill? Need 2 out of Woody Marks, Tony Pollard and Charbonet. Thanks for all you do Guru!

I think there is a distinct possibility that Wilson draws a shadow from DJ Turner. Reed will either have run-heavy Malik Willis or Clayton Tune as his quarterback. So Evans is an easy call for me.

I'm not really sure I can trust any of these options, but I have convinced myself that Wilson will probably draw a shadow from DJ Turner. Flowers will almost certainly have Tyler Huntley as his quarterback, so I'll take Moore here.
