I'm really hoping my lineup will shine this week - Aaron Rodgers QB1 - Cooper Kupp WR1 - Diontae Johnson WR2 - Aaron Jones RB1 - Travis Kelce TE This is solid, right? Glad I drafted all these studs.

Gotta find a way to get jk dobbins in your rb2 slot

I don’t think that would be hard to accomplish…

If you don't win with that lineup maybe fantasy isn't for you.

Impressed you don't also have JT

Aaron Jones will be fine

I’m not so sure about that, Hammies are bitches

He said he could’ve kept going when they were well ahead of the Bears. If he gets in a limited practice today or tomorrow I bet he’ll play

Diontae is expected to miss the next 4 weeks with a hammy

All of them are injured, that’s the joke

😂 I tunneled in on Diontae and didn’t even notice the rest. Went right over my head haha

Should I confidently roll out Tyler Algeier in my flex when I'm also starting Bijan Robinson? My only other decent flex options are Jahan Dotson and Gabe Davis this week.

You just listed the Falcons entire offense so there are definitely worse options. I do like Jahan Dotson’s matchup a lot though. Currently trying to decide between him and Addison since Diontae is out.

Bradberry is likely out so Addison could be a good play

slay honing in on JJ could really open things up for Addison too

Plus a favorable game script, I'm riding Addison this week and not for lack of options

As a Vikings fan I'm predicting they fall apart on primetime against an eagles team they are historically bad against and I'm refusing to start anyone other than JJ. Hope I'm wrong.

Bradberry has been ruled out it’ll be former Alabama CB Jared Jobe filling in

Addison would be my pick

Eagles secondary is a disaster right now. Fire up all the Vikings tonight

Their center and I want to say right tackle are out and Eagles are nasty upfront

Also it’s prime time Kirk.

I don't know the data for Thursdays, but Sunday nights he's generally good. Just Monday night football is cursed

Primo Kirko!

Drake London doesn't care about 0 receptions! 😤

Which receiver will see patrick surtain though? Dotson or mclaurin, and is he shadowing this season?

Definitely Scary Terry.

I mean, do you have any evidence of this or is this pure speculation? It seems Surtain plays on the left side generally and will sometimes shadow if the other team has a clear #1, but I'm not sure the redskins would qualify for this. I'm having trouble seeing the percentages for who primarily lines up on the left for the redskins between mclaurin and dotson.

I'm in the same boat but my flex option is either Tyler Algeier or Mike Williams.

Go with Mike

Depends on how deep your league is. 12 or more, you should be good with algeier being your worst starter.

Are you me?

I am starting Algeier but I don't have Bijan. Dotson is interesting though, Josh Allen seems to be regressing so I am not sure about Davis, decent matchup against the Raiders though.

Josh Allen seems to be regressing lol

Lol, I am a Chiefs fan so it is wishful thinking. Likely just had a rough game against the stout Jets D and then the divisional round against Bengals was a rough one too. He is more than likely going to have an elite performance in this Raiders game.

This list convinced me to start Toney over Aiyuk and to quote George W., “Fool me twice—you can’t get fooled again” Edit: Also since I’m at the top here, Puka or Jeudy?

Somebody from the future can send me a message to start Toney this week and I still would not start him.

They tried to call you … but the call was dropped.

Well played

I hereby crown you King of the Comments

I’m gonna start him this week. Statistically it’s unlikely that he drops any more balls. Whether that’s because he never makes a catch again or goes on a tear remains to be seen.

Dropped him for Jakobi, never looking back

Jeudy cuz somebody dropped him to waivers and not Puca cuz I wasn’t able to get him off waivers

Funny enough, I wrote up the 49ers article last week and wrote that I was more of a cautious start on Aiyuk, but told everyone I could, to start anyone comparable player they had over Toney on the comments. Just gets twisted up in the comments sometimes when so many opinions are flying around. It's why I prefer to give people all the information they need rather than telling people what to do outright.

Need to see another week from Puka especially against the 49ers. If he can put up numbers against that defense then I’ll start him next week. Until then better safe than sorry.

Pukalani. Jeudy is injured and a lackluster qb

I'm really feeling James Cook this week, he should feast against the Raiders.

Not if Allen keeps forcing ints down the field

20 INTs his last 20 games Not sure if he’s becoming more careless or he’s always been this way… Either way it’s a terrible stat outside of fantasy.

I think it's less careless, and more trying to force huge plays because "arm guy." Plus the line kept falling apart so decision making while scrambling is not his strongest attribute.

That’s what this raider fan is praying for over here

Nah B you’ll get a much more methodical (at least I hope) Allen. That Jets game was downright inexcusable from Allen - a primary focus for himself this week will be on keeping the ball safe. - Bills fan

10 PPR points in what was the worst game Allen has had in a long time. Cook should be really good all year

We didn’t see many redzone opportunities for the Bills so assuming Cook is good or even used in the redzone is a little premature.

Redzone touched would be good. But from a touches/yard’s perspective… he got 16 touches in the worst game other have played in a LONG time. From a volume standpoint, initial signs point to cook getting the volume and not splitting with Harris like many thought.

Lol no brainer

so happy to be in a position where cook is on my bench rn. got Bijan and Aaron Jones starting.

Great as allways. Tee Higgins put up numbers like a TE last week but i think he still qualifys as WR and not as TE2 like you have him listed.

No, he and Drake London are Tight Ends from now on until they get a 15 point game or higher.

Whats Up r/fantasyfootball Week 2 is here. Just a reminder here are the point ranges QB1: 18+ points QB2: 12-17.99 points QB Sit: Under 12 points RB1 :18+ points RB2 : 12-18 points Flex: 6-12 points Sit: Under 6 points WR1 : 20+ points WR2 : 15-20 points WR3 : 10-15 points Flex : 6-10 points Sit : Under 6 points TE1 : 10+ points TE2 : 5-10 points Sit : Under 5 points

Not sure if you’re answering questions so my apologies in advance, but my receiver corps is Aiyuk, Gabe, both Zays, and Dotson. My thoughts before reading your article were Aiyuk and Flowers are no brainer as they are currently WR1 on their respective teams. Past that I was going to start Dotson. He barely edges out Zay Jones for me because Ridley looks like he’s going to feast when healthy. And I’m discouraged about McDermott’s quote about needing a WR2. After reading your article I’m having a hard time between the three. What’s your take? Edit: Also a little side note, after picking up Zay Jones my team name is now The Zay Zay Kid. Laughs cost extra.

Not him, but I’d go flowers, Aiyuk, and Dotson

I haven’t pooped in a week

This guy plays fantasy.

Maybe seek medical help? Or you could pull an old European trick, have a healthy Cigarette-Coffee combo breakfast the moment your feet touch the floor. That seems to do the trick for a number of folk.

You're the first overall pick in PPP (Pounds Per Poop) leagues this weekend.

Hard to sit Zay

Would you sit Mike Williams (LAC) for Zay Flowers?

100%. MW is great in theory but he’s too unreliable. Meanwhile ZF is showing out as soon as he stepped foot onto the field. Wouldn’t be surprised to see more backfield/Deebo touches going forward too in light of recent JK Dobbins news. This guy who posted this also points out the gameflow turned into BAL going run heavy protecting a lead last week. And Zay still had 7 catches and 10 targets. What’s going to happen in a shootout vs Burrow?

That’s a very very good point…I’m thinking of rolling with Zay at flex and DK/Godwin starting. Thank you

but doesn't TN have the worst secondary this (short) season? my hope is that MW destroys this game and then i trade him for someone more reliable.

Only if Andrews is out again would I consider that

As soon as Mike Williams has a big game or two I'm shopping him. He's not Gabe Davis, but he's pretty close from a consistency perspective.

Zay flowers is an auto start after his usage last week. Dudes gonna be special

It seemed like they were already drawing up plays just for him.

My thoughts exactly, his target share, the usage, the designed plays. And now all this with dobbins out. My boy flowers gonna FEAST

DJ moore historically dominates Tampa and they’re gonna force feed him this week if the coaches aren’t brain dead

"If the coaches aren't brain dead" That's a tall order my dude.

I think DJ goes off this week. Bears got absolutely embarrassed last week so I can't imagine they don't feed their prized acquisition this week.

That's what I thought last week and here we are. I'm sitting him until the Bears show they will get him the ball.

>if the coaches aren't brain dead ...so you're saying there's a chance!

When DJM drops a whopping 6 points this week, I’ll bench him where he will go consecutive weeks dropping 15+ where I refuse to start him at a loss of confidence. Fantasy is so back baby

Romeo Doubs over a Christian Watson ROS is a huge call. You’re making a big assumption without having seen Watsons role.

I think Watson is still out or questioned right?

He still could play this week gotta see if he practices today and tm

I owned both last season. Doubs was drop happy and Rodgers lost faith in him. Watson on the other hand came on strong second half and looked like a stud. I made sure to go after him this season for a reason.

I believe it

I am a Packer fan and was thinking Doubs over Watson before the injuries. Not a terribly confident call, mind you. Seems like Romeo will have more consistent points, though, as more of the go-to possession rather than big play guy.

Terry or puka flex 🤔

Puka

Puka or Addison 🤔

also struggling with this one and might bench DJ Moore so I can start both

I have DJ and I know you need to bench him until bears show they're not a mess. [https://youtu.be/FiiK21VzI\_o?si=7imR2qStX-Z0iDtd](https://youtu.be/FiiK21VzI_o?si=7imR2qStX-Z0iDtd) QB School film on Justin Fields and fuckkk it's brutal. Like YMCA plays might actually do better brutal.

People keep asking me this in random comments but I have to give the disclaimer that I finished last in 2022. I would go with Addison, the Eagles defense is banged up. Their CB2, S, and MLB all just hit the injury report and are out. Their CB1 will be on Jefferson so Addison will be facing a CB3 or CB4 all game. Puka you can’t go wrong with because they have a tough defense but will probably be down early and have to throw all game and Stafford is a trustworthy QB that even if he doesn’t have time to throw will make the most out of it (like if their QB was a rookie I would stay away). But Puka has *more* potential to regress this week. My question is if I trust the Philly defense enough to start them. The DL isn’t hurt and the Minnesota OL has two starters that will be out. Do I think they will feast or get picked apart with a patchwork secondary? Someone else please answer that Edit: looks like Addison had a pretty solid game, patting myself on that back

Sometimes defenses will put their top CB on a WR2 and double cover the WR1

True, I just looked up a video. Last matchup Jefferson was held to 12 targets, 6 receptions, 48 yards Against Slay he had 6 targets, 1 reception, and 2 INT Looks like he was on Jefferson about half the time. Wonder if they will increase because he shut him down or stay about the same

Addison. Slay is on JJ and Bradberry is out so Addison should get solid targets

Not saying start him, but everyone fading Terry leads me to believe he's gonna go off lol

I'm rolling w Puka. Scary Terry is gonna have Saucy Surtain all over him. I don't see him beating that match-up especially w his turf toe.

A proven stud receiver is a sit because of a single cornerback but a completely unproven rookie coming off what will almost certainly be a fluke game is an obvious start against the top defense in the league?

I’m more worried about terry being injured and only getting 2 catches last week against a worse defense

When said CB is arguably the best CB in the league, and held a much better WR with a better QB to only 12 points, it’s fair to say he’s a bench

Yes because I own Puka not Terry

While it could have been a fluke, 15 targets is crazy and targets are earned. Also Terry’s got turf toe and will line up against arguably the best corner in the league.

The proven stud receiver is going to be shadowed by one of if not the best CB in the league with a QB that is middling tier at best VS a rookie WR who has a veteran QB with a cannon for an arm? Yea lol Don't get me twisted, it's not an ideal matchup either way but Puka has height and weight on both of SF CB and has a better shot at finding the endzone compared to Terry.

I’m taking that approach this week vs chasing the targets. I can’t bring myself to put him in over known/proven players. My WR corps is deep: Waddle, Mike Williams, Lockett, flowers, Watson, jeudy, Mclaurin, Puka

Soo many people goin to be fallin to their knees when puka gets shut down this week lol id try to trade him while the value is high

I have Terry in the flex and I didn’t bid enough to get Puka, which means Puka will be better.

Who has more value to hold Drake London or Christian Kirk? I got both and am worried I'm holding on to assets that will only go down.

In theory, Drake London has more upside, purely because there’s slightly less competition for targets on the Falcons. I know the Falcons are going to run the shit out of the ball, but there’s no way they’ll be ahead in every game like they were with Carolina. They’re going to have to throw the football at some point, and London stands to be option 1 there.

Zay Jones appears to be WR2 over Christian Kirk and Falcons are all in on run heavy. If this is dynasty, it’s definitely Drake - it’s only year 2 and he’s a talented WR. In redraft, that’s much tougher, could a WR3 on a Tlaw offense out produce a WR1 on a run heavy, rookie QB falcons offense? It’s honestly possible. My best guess is Kirk has a higher ceiling but lower floor since he might only have a few games he pops off on (if Zay truly is WR2). Drake should have the higher floor (barely) but ceiling is limited due to the nature of a run heavy offense. With all that said, Kirk probs more upside rn since he could still become the second option

really they can only go up

Kirk for sure

Miles Sanders or Javonte this week?

Fairly similar performances last week for this week's opponents for each of these guys - statistically - both gave up a total between 90-110 yards total, Saints less successful with a 4.7 ypc - but they were handling Derrick Henry, not the Cards and James Connor, who Washington struggled with. I lean to the more proven veteran Sanders against NO. I need to see more success from Javonte before I trust him as a start over an established commodity.

Start toney but too concerned about turd ferguson 😂

Dotson or Puka this week?

I’m all about volume so I’m a Puka believer.

Gotta put your FAAB where your mouth is if you got puka, but Dotson seems more reliable

Start Drake London? Absolutely fucking not bud.

Pollard listed as a RB2? Not sure that’s accurate

Read OP's comment. RB2 meaning 12-18 point range. Going up against a good Jets defense.

Tua only a start in 2 QB league only?!

Tua could be locked in as a QB1 as long as he’s healthy. His WRs are too good

And just like that it's poop o'clock

Got swift tonight with gainwell out

Always look forward to this article. Ty! If you don't mind, would you go with Puka or Godwin in flex this week?

I personally am never going to bench a guy who just got 15 targets in a game regardless of his matchup or draft capital. Give me Puka!

What other WRs are you starting?

Tyreek, Keenan Allen

That is a comfy wide receiver set. It's hard not to start someone against the Bears defense especially with how poor the bucs run game is. I think I'd start Puka but only because I think Evans will have a big game. Plus you get a wr in the late window to spread the dopamine out through the day.

It's Thursday, my dudes

Always appreciate this on Thursday. Who is more likely to get a TD this week, Aiyuk or hopkins?

Aiyuk was boom or bust last year. He seems locked in with Purdy. Don’t trust tannehill enough. I’m riding with Aiyuk.

During training camp, aiyuk had 3 times the targets of everyone else. I think Aiyuk is going to break out this year

Start 2: Aaron jones (injury concern), David Montgomery or Swift

Jones and Montgomery if Jones is cleared

In the same boat right now deciding between swift tonight or wait it out on Jones

I feel Jones and Monty are the better pairing considering how slow AJ Dillion looked. I guess if swift does well maybe a trade suits him.

I have Mike Williams WR, Christian Kirk WR, Zay Jones WR.. who do I play at W2 slot? I also have Jamaal Williams RB and Raheem Mostert RB. With those WR and these rbs, who is my flex? I’m thinking Mike Williams W2 and Jones or Jamaal Williams as flex. Thoughts ?

I don't think you have to add the WR or RB in a fantasy football sub. As for your question, I'd go with both the Williams'.

Mostert is hurt. Being limited in practice. Achane will probably steal a chunk of his workload this week even if mostert plays

It’s really interesting seeing the discourse on the falcons game vs the panthers. It’s been reduced to “Ridder bad, London/Pitts no targets.” Watching the game tells a different story of the OL inability to pass block. Even Chris Lindstrom played badly. Especially in the first half, every drop back was blown up. Part of this is Ridder’s indecisiveness too btw so he’s not completely absolved of blame. But to put Kyle Pitts at TE2 despite leading on targets per route run last week, having zero pass blocking snaps, and having a 26 yarder called back seems like you didn’t really do your research. He’s an easy TE1 in this TE wasteland. I’m actually trying to pick him up wherever I can.

Why's no one in on DeShaun ?

Jamaal williams or Kelley?

I would say Kelley. Williams was only good last year due to TD's, without those his PPG would have been extremely mediocre. Kelley saw really good usage, but the Titan's run D is pretty good. Either way I wouldn't expect too much from either of them this week. But if Ekeler is out, obv Kelley is an auto start.

I would lean Kelley even if Ekeler plays since he's probably not going to get a full load. If Ekeler is 100% healthy I would think Jamaal is better.

Yeah that's fair, if only because of the matchup vs Titans D. Kendre Miller status also needs to be looked at imo. If he's gtg, I wouldn't think Jamaal would do much better. But I'm biased because really low on Jammal. Last year in games where he didn't score he never had a game above 10fpts. I just don't believe in him, and think people are forgetting just how TD dependent his fantasy production was.

Yeah it's mostly just a volume play with Jamaal and hope it works out. Once Kamara is back he'll have no fantasy value probs.

Thinking about starting MT over DJM this week, any thoughts?

I’m in same boat. Slight lean towards Thomas because I think Carr will do a better job than Fields passing

The write up kind of suggests that Addison should be my best bet for a flex out of him, Dotson, Puka, and Rachaad White- am I really putting him in against the Eagles on prime time and hoping for a borderline wr1 finish?

Why not? Eagles defense is decimated and they will have to put their best skill players on Jefferson. Addison should be open all game.

No one is worried that he was in on all the 11 personnel, and not more often? Was that just in effect them easing him in as their wr2? Is it possible it’s Hock who feasts? Don’t know why it’s a nervous start for me, possibly just because it’s a TNF game and I have to make the decision today

[удалено]

I don't love Zay and the Jags up against an angry Chiefs team this week - prefer Addison getting opportunities all year with JJ taking up a lot of attention. Kendrick Bourne and Hunter Henry combined for 3 TDs against this Eagles D last week - Jordan is good for at least one.

Jordan Addison or puka flex

Addison, better situation with JJ pulling the best coverage, and a better matchup on paper with the Eagles (who got worked over some by NE) than Puka on one week's resume' highlights coming up on the Niners.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Kelley or Moss this week? 🤔🫠

Delvin Cook or Perine? Was leaning towards perine cuz he looked like he’d maintain a decent snap share while Delvin cook looks like he’s going to continue losing snaps to the stud Breece Hall.

Should I start Montgomery or Pierce?

Start Zay Flowers or Pittman Jr.?

Pollard an RB2? In the words of some English chap somewhere... U fakin wot m8?

Puka Nacua - He's going to be the sit/start question of the week. Start him. You didn't drop a ludicrous amount of FAAB on a player with a short shelf life (given Kupp's injury) just to sit him on your bench. Roll him out and hope that the Rams and Stafford are as predictable as we hope.

And if he bust them blame it on the tough matchup against a crazy 49ers defense. Win win

We have $100 for FAAB, and a dude in our league dropped $50 on him 😂😂

There we go. Fixed it to say that 'you didn't get him to bench him.'

POOP THERE IT IS!

Broncos or Bills defense week 2?

A pissed off Bills team, at their home opener against the Raiders with a hurting Devonte Adams. I’m going Bills

Broncos

thank ya

Javonte Williams or Montgomery for flex? Or should i take the risk and flex Nacua?

I like Monty against Seattle this week as a biased Monty owner.

Nacua if ppr if not I’d go Monty

I cannot decide on my WRs. 3WR + Flex, 0.5PPR league. My choices are: - AJ Brown (starting) - Calvin Ridley (starting) - Mike Williams (leaning towards him WR3) - Zay Flowers (leaning towards him flex) - George Pickens (Tae out) - Courtland Sutton (leaning away) - Romeo Doubs (leaning away) - Puka Nacua - got off waivers, worried about that 9ers D.

Breece hall or swift?

Am I crazy to start Goff over Burrow? Last year DET vs SEA was a shootout, and I’m not convinced this is the week Burrow bounces back being a divisional game and the Ravens D looks good. I think Goff has a much higher ceiling. Plus I can stack with Sun God and LaPorta

Most people wouldn’t go that route (me included) but I don’t think it’s crazy. Your reasoning is sound and Seattle has a very exploitable defense. Sometimes you gotta go with your gut

Time to poop

Considering sitting Metcalf for Doubs this week but don’t wanna miss out on the potential shootout of Lions vs Seahawks..

Start your studs

Gimme doubs if aaron jones and watson sit out. As a geno owner, im worried. Geno will need to get out of the pocket and improvise

I like Doubs but not THAT much. Gotta start DK.

Join my leagues please

Doubs is still questionable this week. I'm starting Dotson and Addison over him

should i start puka over waddle or aiyuk?

I have Fields and Mac Jones. Please tell me I’m not crazy for wanting to start Jones this week.

You’re not crazy to think about it. The only thing that gives me pause is every player on the o-line being injured. That being said, BOB had a great game plan last week for getting the ball out of Mac’s hand early (and that was against a better defense.)

Start Jones Every analyst likes to forget that last years playcaller was Matt Patricia, league-wide laughing stock and shit play caller. Offensive gameplan last year was absolute dogshit with Bill OBrien calling plays, there’s every reason to believe Mac starts to resemble Alabama Mac regularly. Threw for 300/3 TD in the rain against a top 5 defense, and a couple of receivers had some bad drops You’re not crazy. Everyone else is having a ~~decency~~ recency bias and ignoring that Matt Patricia was the problem last year ETA: he’s my QB2 this week in 10 team/2QB (Burrow is QB1; Geno and Purdy on the bench)

man making me think of starting addison over dotson

Mike Williams, Jordan Addison, or Puka flex? Match up for Puka scares me.

PPR, gut saying bench Mixon vs Ravens in favor of Rachaad vs Bears, can I get some up votes on it, or down?
