WRs & FLEX; Sutton, Egbuka, Jennings, W-Rob, Flournoy & M. Wilson

[Bills04]

Full-point PPR. Currently rolling with WR1 = C. Sutton and WR2 = E. Egbuka. FLEXing M. Wilson. BUT – I also have NYG WR W-Rob, DAL WR R. Flournoy, and SF WR J. Jennings. I'm concerned about Egbuka, who has done nothing the past month.. Also, J. Jennings has caught TDs in 4 of the past 5 games. I'm also concerned about Wilson, who will be at HOU which has a top-tier DEF. (NOTE: I'm also starting ARI TE T. McBride..) W-Rob will get me double-digits pretty much every week, and an occasional “spike” week. Home against WAS could be one of those weeks. Lastly, I just grabbed Flournoy. I saw that CeeDee really “got his bell rung,” and am skeptical he'll play. If he does not, Flournoy has “blown up” at least twice when CeeDee was Inactive.  Also, he'd "stack" well with my QB, Dak. 

 

Thoughts?? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Jennings flex.

Update, 1: WR1 = M. Wilson, WR2 = W-Rob, and FLEX = C. Sutton.  I took a look the players post week 5 .. and Egbuka just really hasn't played well.  At least two dropped TD passes.  And, now both Evans and Godwin are likely playing.  ATL should be awful offensively, and TB could likely salt the game away with all three of their RBs.  The more I looked at W-Rob, he is the definition of a PPR cheat-code.  And, WAS DEF has been awful.  And, WAS QB will likely be M. Mariota, who doesn't scare anyone.

I agree with your thinking on Egbuka and can't bring myself to start him tonight, but I've been getting burned on these kinds of decisions all season so that means Egbuka will probably go off (and it is a good matchup).

Update, 2:  Phew!  Egbuka had an okay game, but he did NOT "go off."  Evans dominated targets.  So - still at: WR1 = M. Wilson, WR2 = W-Rob, and FLEX = C. Sutton.  Egbuka played, and is not available.  I grabbed DAL WR Flournoy off waivers, but Lamb has been cleared to play, so Flournoy is also out.  That leaves switching out one of the above three for SF WRJ. Jennings "possibly."  FWIW - I also have ARI RB B. Knight I could FLEX.

 

Thoughts?

Bumpin' on a Saturday afternoon!

I think you've got it (Wilson, Wan'Dale, and Sutton).  Wilson should still have a decent floor due to receptions, but just not sure if he'll go off like he has..  Personally still trying to decide between him and CWat, where both are risky with potential upside, lol

Good luck!

Thanks, Cajun (and Weepaws and Showboat).  Cajun: look at Player History - GB QB struggled vs. DEN (21 of 31 for only 180 yards, 2 TDs and an INT), with C-Wat being mediocre (3 for 27).  Also, GB has does "WR by committee.."  I'd lean towards Wilson in your case.

Thanks!  ..had seen something on FantasyPros regarding PS2's dominance (not saying I'm ignoring Stingley and HOU, but at least Wilson has been getting a lot of targets consistently). 

Lol, that game goes back to 2023 but could have some bearing still..and since CWat has returned, he's trended to being their WR1 with Doubs and Wicks (and now Reed instead) as their WR2s..ofc ignoring last game with only 4 targets. 

But yeah, all that does make for a (too) risky CWat this week so figure best to sit him this week! And best of luck to you!!

Bumpin' on Saturday morning!  Oh .. and I saw this.  My mind then started to wander .. and I think it is in the realm of possibility that SF might .. give "a lot of love" to Jennings, to demonstrate to Aiyuk that he really isn't needed??

 

49ers placed WR Brandon Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list.

 

If you’re not familiar with the reserve/left squad list, that’s okay, it is something typically reserved for players about to retire. The awkward saga between Aiyuk and the 49ers appears to be ending in a messy divorce, with the recent move by the team all but ensuring the two sides split in the coming offseason. The transaction also officially ends Aiyuk’s 2025 season before it began. Stay tuned through the offseason.

Update, 3:  Oooooo! WAS RB1 C-Rod is a game-time decision, with a groin injury.  I previously didn't mention I have WAS RB "Bill 'Croskey, cuz he's done nothing for like two months.  But, if C-Rod is INACTVE, I figure I gotta FLEX Croskey.  If so, of the following current line-up: WR1 = M. Wilson, WR2 = W-Rob, and FLEX = C. Sutton - I figure I'll sit .. M. Wilson.  Horrible match-up on the road.

[Bills04]

C-Rod is INACTIVE!  Hope it doesn't bite me in the a$$, but I'm sitting M. Wilson..  (I am kinda stuck playing McBride, already..)
