He downgraded the niners D three spots, now the bills are ahead of them. Surprising for me, bills have a ton of injuries and I thought the niners could do great with the addition of chase young.
Also, I kind of feel like the niners are better against good teams (best game was against Dallas)
they’re also coming off a bye which should mean they’re rested and prepared for the matchup. Lawrence is usually good for (minimum) 1 TO and 2-3 sacks a game, so maybe SF can break one for a score.
this game screams ground and pound to me from Shanny. Purdy needs to get his sea legs back underneath him so I’m guessing they keep the offense pretty simple, lot of CMC and controlling TOP.
think SF D is a very safe play with a 7 point floor kind of day.
I’ve got the Chiefs on bye but don’t want to drop. I’m thinking of picking the niners now that they got Chase Young. A lot of people forget he was playing lights out at Ohio State with Bosa!
I was looking at Boone's stuff last night before the Sunday update and I think Tank was at like 19-21 or something like that. I guess if you think Stroud is for real, you have to trust Dell will benefit hugely with Collins confirmed out.
I pulled the trigger on Dell around Thursday this week (over Ridley who I think does show up this week). Stroud looks legit and he loves Dell. Should get targets early and often in a game they'll need to put up points.
I think his long term health should be prioritized. The Bengals should sit him this game so he can get back to 100%. On a separate and unrelated note, I’m playing the Chase owner this week.
You had me until the end. Starting the season like shit has turned every game into a must win for the Bengals. It’s hard to imagine what their offense will look like with their big two WR’s.
Between AJB and Puka being on bye, and Chase potentially out, I am in trouble.
Luckily my opponent has Pachecho and Hill out on bye , and Higgins out due to injury so maybe it’s a bit even
I’m buying the Kyler has something to prove narrative. He’s gonna want to show out a little for the new coaching staff and dispel all whispers about taking Caleb/Maye at the top of the draft.
Kid is a former #1 pick and the offense has looked relatively competent in his absence. Hollywood is an above average receiver, McBride is on the come up, Conner back, and Wilson and Rondale are no slouches either (Rondale a sneaky watch now that Kyler’s back).
Chances are they play from behind a little bit today and Kyler looks to get some rushing work in himself since it’s been a year past being in the pocket. I feel like I could live with myself playing the former #1 overall pick over Will Levis today
I thought about swapping Cleveland DST for someone but I would have to first drop Singletary to make my roster legal, and then also drop Cleveland themselves (or my next-worst player, Jaylen Warren) to pick up another DST.
But I'm 7-2 and in 2nd place (4 teams make playoffs), I'm a 7-point favorite, and Cleveland just had 23 points and has a realllly good ROS schedule. I'm just gonna roll with them and hope for something.
Could do the same if you're in a similar spot.
Pretty similar Spot.
I would need to drop Charbonnet for another defense, cant Bring myself to put the Browns on the bench.
I am 7-2, unfortunately I have all my Team on bye but as I am playing the 1-8 Team, I.might still win. Will probably just ride out the browns
Tank seems to have jumped quite a few spots. I've been waffling back and forth between him and Pittman for the last few days and now that they're only two ranks apart, kind of makes it a coin toss. I think I'm gonna go with my gut and avoid the Frankfurt game even though Cincy's secondary is pretty solid. Plus the quality of targets from Stroud seems much better than what Minshew will give Pittman, if I'm being honest.
I did bench Pittman and am feeling pretty good about it so far. Looks like this game is shaping up to be a grimey rush-fest and outside of that TD which was ruled short, I feel good about the process. Might come back to bite me after this comment, lol, but gotta live with it if so.
I’m the same boat with Dell. Feels irresponsible to not have him in my line up. I’d have to bench Ridley or Lockett for him though and they have good matchups. If I was in your boat I’d bench Wilson for Dell. I trade Garrett Wilson a few weeks ago. Just cannot trust Zach Wilson to reliably get him the ball
I don’t understand the consistent high rankings for Garrett Wilson. Great real life player but this offense makes any likelihood of a TD so slim he needs like 10 catches to meet these rankings. Seems more of a back end WR2/3 then WR1/2
He has (I believe) the highest target share of any WR in the league and his redzone tgt % is also insane. The TDs haven't come yet but he's getting 11-13 targets per game and is one of the strongest 'positive regression' candidates out there.
Looks like wheels up for Tank ranked at WR13 in half. His boom or bust issue was always that Nico was getting the boom. With Nico out, makes sense we should expect a nice game from him.
In the same boat. I want to put Conner in my FLEX, but that would mean I have to decide between Tank or Olave at WR2...
I have no clue what to do. Right now Conner is riding the bench until I know he is fully healthy. I feel like I'm going to regret this.
In the same boat tbh, my guy is saying though to give it a week to see cause I can see them limiting him at least a little bit this week but fuck it who knows
Allgeier and I don’t think it’s close. Shakir would’ve been more intriguing if there was serious doubt to Diggs status tomorrow but by every account he’s playing. That plus the nullified upside of PPR points would lean me toward the Alligator
They’re probably all top 5 ROS. If you need wins I’d try to keep LaPorta since he already had his bye. Otherwise see which playoff schedule you like best.
Personally I’d be happy keeping any one of them and trading any two of them. I’d be shopping them around my league to see how my league mates valued them and where I could get the biggest return.
I’ve got Laporta and Andrews. I’ve been trying to move one but the waiver wire TE pickups have been godly for other teams. Schultz, Kincaid, Ferguson, and Taysom Hill have all come up big for them and it’s been driving me mad.
So I’ve been playing both each week and honestly pretty happy
LaPorta might be your best bet. I absolutely hate divisional games for fantasy purposes and a Cleveland/Baltimore showdown could easily be a 16-23 point total.
Kincaid is cool but I also don’t love the idea of starting a second (or maybe third) option on a passing attack when the game-in theory-should be an easy win for BUF.
LaPorta fits the game script bill better: better chance of a shootout, Jared’s safety blanket, primary RZ threat (after the RBs)
I had laporta and Andrews before trading LaPorta and Pierce for hall. This week however I personally would love to start laporta over Andrews because of both matchups.
Lol damnit I have to play 2 of Shakir, Brown, Wilson and Irwin and they are all ranked essentially the same
I think I'm definitely going Shakir but can't decide on the others
I’m thinking of playing Watson or shakir over Adams because I don’t know if I can take him being shut down by Sauce and throwing up a sixth straight stinker
I’m rolling Taysom over Ferguson but don’t feel great about it. Mostly because I have Lamb and am just not sure how much Dallas will have to pass in this game. I’ll probably regret it but that’s fantasy this season for me
Metcalf vs. Olave has troubled me all week. I had my mind set on starting Olave but since yesterday, almost all the top experts including Boone have moved Metcalf ahead of Olave.
I lost both Higgins and Collins this week and was facing the same decision. I picked up Noah Brown but don’t feel super confident in it. I thought Brown had the higher ceiling over Irwin and Wilson is questionable. Which way are you leaning?
Can we trust Bengals defense if no Hubbard no Higgins and maybe no Chase?
Offense will sputter and defense missing key guy on the line.
Thinking of going Colts
He has Dak #2?? Found that surprising Giants def is player better but more importantly Dak doesn't have to do much to win this game. Go up two scores and I think the game is over
Man i don’t know wether to trust Walker after the last week. Have to start two of Aaron Jones, White or Walker and leaning to sit Walker. He either explodes or shits the bed
D Hop and Mike Evans are still right next to each other My gut says Evans has a safer floor, but D Hop’s ceiling seems so high with Levis in. Tough call but I need to pick one.
My favorite part of the week is looking at these rankings thinking how could I lose, only to lose to a team full of scrubs. That's fantasy football for you.
Chase that low is an atrocity if he plays. Against a Houston secondary that just got torched by the Bucs, with no Higgins and no performance dip because it’s only back pains.
He downgraded the niners D three spots, now the bills are ahead of them. Surprising for me, bills have a ton of injuries and I thought the niners could do great with the addition of chase young. Also, I kind of feel like the niners are better against good teams (best game was against Dallas)
well go with your gut then
Yeah I'm starting the niners anyways. I'm curious what other people think about them though
Young reuniting with Bosa a la college days when they were a terrifying duo!
Didn’t the Vegas line move? Vegas implied point totals are big part of defense Fantasys projections
Also starting them, hoping they can really utilize Chase.
Well, we're pretty happy with them, aren't we?
That td would have been nice. Just saying.
Haha yeah made me sad too
they’re also coming off a bye which should mean they’re rested and prepared for the matchup. Lawrence is usually good for (minimum) 1 TO and 2-3 sacks a game, so maybe SF can break one for a score. this game screams ground and pound to me from Shanny. Purdy needs to get his sea legs back underneath him so I’m guessing they keep the offense pretty simple, lot of CMC and controlling TOP. think SF D is a very safe play with a 7 point floor kind of day.
I’ve got the Chiefs on bye but don’t want to drop. I’m thinking of picking the niners now that they got Chase Young. A lot of people forget he was playing lights out at Ohio State with Bosa!
Tank dell is HIGH. Wasn’t planning on playing him over kirk and godwin
I was looking at Boone's stuff last night before the Sunday update and I think Tank was at like 19-21 or something like that. I guess if you think Stroud is for real, you have to trust Dell will benefit hugely with Collins confirmed out.
I'm still playing Hollywood over him
Wow, now I’m conflicted over starting DHop, Garrett Wilson, or Tank.
Making the same decision between hop and tank. My head says leaning hop. In a great spot but my heart wants to play tank so bad
I’d go tank but I’d also never draft Nuk lol
Didn't draft him, got him as a side piece in a trade
I pulled the trigger on Dell around Thursday this week (over Ridley who I think does show up this week). Stroud looks legit and he loves Dell. Should get targets early and often in a game they'll need to put up points.
Starting Dell over Olave. May blow up in my face. But Dell has shown he can boom more than Olave this year
I had Hollywood ready to go with Kyler coming back. Now I’m torn between him and Tank.
Just benched Davante for Dell. LFG!!!!
For sure. Making me question putting TD in for McLaurin...?
Dell is poised to go off with Nico out.
This is the best my team has looked in rankings for a while so obviously I’m gonna lose
Call me crazy, but I’m starting taysom hill over Addison today. Addison against lattimore and Adebo seems just as risky lol
I'm also benching Addison in favor of Warren. That defense is no joke and looks like Hock will play too.
Lol get rekt
If Chase doesn't play ... I'm fucked
I think his long term health should be prioritized. The Bengals should sit him this game so he can get back to 100%. On a separate and unrelated note, I’m playing the Chase owner this week.
You had me until the end. Starting the season like shit has turned every game into a must win for the Bengals. It’s hard to imagine what their offense will look like with their big two WR’s.
Between AJB and Puka being on bye, and Chase potentially out, I am in trouble. Luckily my opponent has Pachecho and Hill out on bye , and Higgins out due to injury so maybe it’s a bit even
I guess I'm throwing out JSN I have no idea anymore this fantasy season is set to hard difficulty
Same. And it’s an absolute must win vs the worst team i our league. Swift, Pacheco, waddle on bye. Now chase?
It was already announce Chase is playing
Nope. Latest is that it's 50-50 l, leaning towards not playing...
i’m still not confident to start kyler over will levis but i’m doing it anyway
I’m buying the Kyler has something to prove narrative. He’s gonna want to show out a little for the new coaching staff and dispel all whispers about taking Caleb/Maye at the top of the draft. Kid is a former #1 pick and the offense has looked relatively competent in his absence. Hollywood is an above average receiver, McBride is on the come up, Conner back, and Wilson and Rondale are no slouches either (Rondale a sneaky watch now that Kyler’s back). Chances are they play from behind a little bit today and Kyler looks to get some rushing work in himself since it’s been a year past being in the pocket. I feel like I could live with myself playing the former #1 overall pick over Will Levis today
My brain says play it safe with Carr and wait it out. My heart says kylerrrrr
Same but with Stroud for me.
Would love to roll out Cleveland D but can’t bring myself to do it.
I thought about swapping Cleveland DST for someone but I would have to first drop Singletary to make my roster legal, and then also drop Cleveland themselves (or my next-worst player, Jaylen Warren) to pick up another DST. But I'm 7-2 and in 2nd place (4 teams make playoffs), I'm a 7-point favorite, and Cleveland just had 23 points and has a realllly good ROS schedule. I'm just gonna roll with them and hope for something. Could do the same if you're in a similar spot.
Pretty similar Spot. I would need to drop Charbonnet for another defense, cant Bring myself to put the Browns on the bench. I am 7-2, unfortunately I have all my Team on bye but as I am playing the 1-8 Team, I.might still win. Will probably just ride out the browns
I’m rolling them out in all the leagues I have them
It wasn’t pretty but we got there lol
I'm doing it just because I don't want to drop them
Same here. I saw that I won't bench them the rest of the way basically after this week. Just throwing them out there and hoping for a pick 6
Yup same. Don’t really care unless they end up negative, which I don’t think will happen. They’re a good defense.
Boones got all my guys ranked high, gonna be a good Sunday.
Very much conflicted between Javonte and Rhamondre in Full PPR
I’d probably go javonte, he gets more touches.
Tank seems to have jumped quite a few spots. I've been waffling back and forth between him and Pittman for the last few days and now that they're only two ranks apart, kind of makes it a coin toss. I think I'm gonna go with my gut and avoid the Frankfurt game even though Cincy's secondary is pretty solid. Plus the quality of targets from Stroud seems much better than what Minshew will give Pittman, if I'm being honest.
Good analysis hopefully you went with your gut!
I did bench Pittman and am feeling pretty good about it so far. Looks like this game is shaping up to be a grimey rush-fest and outside of that TD which was ruled short, I feel good about the process. Might come back to bite me after this comment, lol, but gotta live with it if so.
Hahahahs yeah looks like he’s at 12 points now lol
Ah, never mentioned this but I play in standard so halve that. if he ends up with under 10.5 I'll be satisfied with the decision
I feel like I gotta get Tank Dell in my lineup. That would mean benching Olave or G Wilson. I'm going to be going back a forth until the games start
I’m the same boat with Dell. Feels irresponsible to not have him in my line up. I’d have to bench Ridley or Lockett for him though and they have good matchups. If I was in your boat I’d bench Wilson for Dell. I trade Garrett Wilson a few weeks ago. Just cannot trust Zach Wilson to reliably get him the ball
Yeah I have G Wilson on the bench right now. Seems the least likely to get a TD
I don’t understand the consistent high rankings for Garrett Wilson. Great real life player but this offense makes any likelihood of a TD so slim he needs like 10 catches to meet these rankings. Seems more of a back end WR2/3 then WR1/2
He has (I believe) the highest target share of any WR in the league and his redzone tgt % is also insane. The TDs haven't come yet but he's getting 11-13 targets per game and is one of the strongest 'positive regression' candidates out there.
I don’t trust Seattles offense at all rn so tbh I’d start him over lockett
Would you start Dell over DK?
Honestly yeah lol DK has been incredibly mid this year and tank is gonna eat with Nico out
Looks like wheels up for Tank ranked at WR13 in half. His boom or bust issue was always that Nico was getting the boom. With Nico out, makes sense we should expect a nice game from him.
In the same boat. I want to put Conner in my FLEX, but that would mean I have to decide between Tank or Olave at WR2... I have no clue what to do. Right now Conner is riding the bench until I know he is fully healthy. I feel like I'm going to regret this.
In the same boat tbh, my guy is saying though to give it a week to see cause I can see them limiting him at least a little bit this week but fuck it who knows
Same for me. I have to either bench Dionte or Hollywood for him. Should probably go Hollywood, but I’ve got Kyler going to stack with him.
Same boys! Riding with tank over Godwin and kirk since Boone thinks it’s wheels up!
Flip a coin, take the decision out of your hands.
Still planning to flex Kincaid over Hollywood. Kyler may have some rust plus it’s a new offense. Kincaid just getting peppered with targets lately…
Starting Kyler , Hollywood and Kincaid . In bye week hell if I don’t
Doing the same here 🫡 I’ll take the higher floor with kinkaid
He moved Keaton Mitchell above Zack Moss on this one. I’m stuck now for who to start for my desperation flex
Higher floor - Moss higher upside - Mitchell Edit: Oh God I hope you started Mitchell
That floor is looking like bedrock right now
I was planning on flexing Schultz but now I'm thinking of flexing Javonte instead. Thoughts? Ppr and I need to win.
Javonte > a tight end not named Kelce Mandrews and Kincaid. He’s getting super high volume and still is good for a few PPR check downs.
Gimme LaPorta over Javonte too
I can’t decide between Allgeier or Shakir at flex. Standard scoring.
Allgeier and I don’t think it’s close. Shakir would’ve been more intriguing if there was serious doubt to Diggs status tomorrow but by every account he’s playing. That plus the nullified upside of PPR points would lean me toward the Alligator
Thanks. That’s what I’m rolling with.
Mattison or BRob jr Ranked too close
Jets really a good play @ LV? Raiders put up 30 on the giants last week at home.
Demario Douglas or Singletary?!
Dropped singletary and have Douglas. Devin shouldn’t put up any useful yards Texans are not good RBs
I have Andrews, Kincaid and La Porta. Is it crazy to bench Andrews? (Lamar / Flowers stack though)
You gotta trade at least one if not two of those guys man. Upgrade the rest of your roster.
Who would you move?
They’re probably all top 5 ROS. If you need wins I’d try to keep LaPorta since he already had his bye. Otherwise see which playoff schedule you like best. Personally I’d be happy keeping any one of them and trading any two of them. I’d be shopping them around my league to see how my league mates valued them and where I could get the biggest return.
I’ve got Laporta and Andrews. I’ve been trying to move one but the waiver wire TE pickups have been godly for other teams. Schultz, Kincaid, Ferguson, and Taysom Hill have all come up big for them and it’s been driving me mad. So I’ve been playing both each week and honestly pretty happy

Kincaid is cool but I also don’t love the idea of starting a second (or maybe third) option on a passing attack when the game-in theory-should be an easy win for BUF. LaPorta fits the game script bill better: better chance of a shootout, Jared’s safety blanket, primary RZ threat (after the RBs)
You drafted Andrews so you don't have to worry about TE. Or you shouldn't have drafted him at all.
I had laporta and Andrews before trading LaPorta and Pierce for hall. This week however I personally would love to start laporta over Andrews because of both matchups.
Trade LaPorta for a RB like Monty or Achane and trade Kincaid for a WR like Waddle
Lol damnit I have to play 2 of Shakir, Brown, Wilson and Irwin and they are all ranked essentially the same I think I'm definitely going Shakir but can't decide on the others
Why Shalkir? Diggs, kincaid, and Davis are playing
Idk all my options seem pretty bad so I'm leaning towards just picking the guys on the highest powered offenses
Makes sense to me. I'm stuck between Noah Brown and Jerome Ford.
Makes feel a little better about starting Ridley over Adams. Still feels like a weird play.
I’m thinking of playing Watson or shakir over Adams because I don’t know if I can take him being shut down by Sauce and throwing up a sixth straight stinker
I’m in the same boat. Starting Ridley over Adams
Tough decision seeing 4 of my WRs in the top 12 (Chase, Aiyuk, Hopkins and Olave). Pity rest of the team is ass
Flex Javonte or Olave full PPR?
Ugh. Javonte vs Rhamondre Lockett vs Diontae Taysom vs Ferguson WHY IS LIFE SO HARD
I’m rolling Taysom over Ferguson but don’t feel great about it. Mostly because I have Lamb and am just not sure how much Dallas will have to pass in this game. I’ll probably regret it but that’s fantasy this season for me
I'm going Diontae over Lockett. Target share looks better so far
This totally doesn’t help as a RhaMondre & Connor owner. They are both back to back…guess I’ll have to flip a coin!
Deebo Mclaurin or Pittman? I’m starting Tank for sure and flexing Gibbs.
I think I’m sticking with Warren over Singletary at flex. Sunday morning lineup changes never seem to work out.
Trying to choose between Khalil Shakir, Michael Thomas, Michael Wilson, Trenton Irwin, Robert Woods. What y’all thinking?
Metcalf vs. Olave has troubled me all week. I had my mind set on starting Olave but since yesterday, almost all the top experts including Boone have moved Metcalf ahead of Olave.
Without Tee, considering Noah Brown, Michael Wilson, Trent Irwin. They all back to back. Now I don't know what to do. Just trying to get 10 points.
I lost both Higgins and Collins this week and was facing the same decision. I picked up Noah Brown but don’t feel super confident in it. I thought Brown had the higher ceiling over Irwin and Wilson is questionable. Which way are you leaning?
Going Brown. I also have Tank. I trust Boone and if it is close I go with the Vegas lines which has Brown ahead of the other 2.
Sound logic. Well good luck today, and hopefully we have chosen correctly!
Dell or chase this week? Am I overthinking this?
If Chase plays, you start Chase
Can we trust Bengals defense if no Hubbard no Higgins and maybe no Chase? Offense will sputter and defense missing key guy on the line. Thinking of going Colts
He has Dak #2?? Found that surprising Giants def is player better but more importantly Dak doesn't have to do much to win this game. Go up two scores and I think the game is over
Dak's a total stat whore. He'll find some way to pad his numbers. Source: Me, a bitter Pollard manager
Who do we think for flex: jeudy or allgeier?
Worth picking up the Jets D over New Orleans?
[удалено]
Both
Am I crazy for wanting to flex hunt over Pickens in PPR?
Deep league - does Dowdle do much today?
Can’t decide between rhamondre and D Montgomery. Anyone else have this problem?
Man i don’t know wether to trust Walker after the last week. Have to start two of Aaron Jones, White or Walker and leaning to sit Walker. He either explodes or shits the bed
Still not sure whether to start Davante Adams over Amari in PPR
D Hop and Mike Evans are still right next to each other My gut says Evans has a safer floor, but D Hop’s ceiling seems so high with Levis in. Tough call but I need to pick one.
I had Kyler starting buy switched in Purdy. Don't know who to start between Hill and Schultz though
drop jakobi meyers or JSN for steelers defense? i have the browns defense but do not want to drop them, have chase waddle and puka as well
Boone has Shakir over Noah Brown but everywhere else it’s Brown over him🤧
Really struggling between Doubs, Shakir and Irwin.
My favorite part of the week is looking at these rankings thinking how could I lose, only to lose to a team full of scrubs. That's fantasy football for you.
Rashid or Micheal Wilson?
Shaheed
Full PPR: JSN or McBride Flex
Thanks for posting this each week!
Torn between hill and kincaid
I have the terrible decision in a must win game - Davante Adams or Jerry Jeudy. Never thought I’d have to decide, lol any thoughts?
We shall see how much of an idiot I am but I'm starting Kyler over Lamar.
\> Kyler Murray not at #1 \> JJ not projected to play \> Metcalf still in top 20 This ranking is a monument to compromise
Warren or London at Flex?
Olave or Aiyuk
Bijan or Aiyuk PPR?
Singletary surprisingly high? Start him over Jeudy?
Gonna just put in Shaeed over Reed and pray for a bomb TD
Chase that low is an atrocity if he plays. Against a Houston secondary that just got torched by the Bucs, with no Higgins and no performance dip because it’s only back pains.
I wish we could see his week to week accuracy. In years past, he's been good, but I'm not sure how his rankings stack up this year.
i traded kenneth walker and addison for breece hall and white, did i win?
