2018 NFL Fantasy Advice

[1puttTUT]

I need to play two of the following four: TY Hilton, Kittle, Gronk, Kenyon Drake. I'm leaning Hilton and Kittle atm.

 

Do I consider Sterling Shepard if Beckham sits?

 

What are your other options?

 

The ones I had before. TY, Gronk, Kittle. I went with TY and Gronk.

Lol sorry man I don’t have your team memorized. Glad you sat Shepard.

[bubbagump]

Ugh perfect time so far for my horses to lay duds.......Thielen, Cooper and Lindsay doing didly. Heres to Juju, Goff, Zuerlien and Kittle taking it home,

[1puttTUT]

Well it turns out all my options sucked lol...four guys with the highest scoring being 6.6 pts wtf.

[JackpotJohnny]

I didn’t play Damien Williams, Henry, or Baldwin, and I could still pull it out.

[highergr0und]

I'm up 40 with Kamara, Thomas (car TE) and Rams D. he's got Goff, Woods, Adams and Lutz. I just hope the Rams feed Gurley all night

And I need Gurley to be a bust tonight to have a chance.

He took me out in the championship game last year, would only be fitting for him to do it again this year.

[bubbagump]

Damn literally everybody on my team but Damien Williams took a deuce. Thielen, Juju, Lindsay, Kittle, Cooper all were garbage. Goff isn’t looking good either lol.

[highergr0und]

Whew. Dodged pretty much everything. Up by 8 with Kamara and Thomas vs Lutz tomorrow. Just need saints to put on a TD show

[jerebear21]

Beat the no1 rank team(12-1) to get into championship. He had Malone. Tyreek, kelce, saquon, Lindsey and Gordon.

 

6-7 and sneaked into the playoffs. He’s probably throwing up inside just a little bit this morning.

[adam667220]

Scored 30 under my average in the first round of our playoffs. Looks like I'll be playing for third and my money back instead. Ugh.

[blaird]

Im done which hacks me off. The guy who has dominated the last 7 weeks or so got knocked out, thought I had a chance to win it all, then the Pats game happened and Carson in Sea happened. Gordon gets one catch for 19 yards...had he tacked on a couple more catches for 30 yards or so I would be fine. Doesnt help I had Martin in over Howard which cost me about 11 points. I have a 5.2 point lead and he has Lutz going. I need the Saints to only score touchdowns, field goals kill me.

 

Its funny, the Saints can put up 35 and I can win or they can put up 6 (2 field goals) and I lose.

Well, you jinxed him to at least 2 FG already. Is there a way for a kicker to score negative points in the second half?

[highergr0und]

Whew.... glad I kept Rivers in on accident. I would've still won but I'd probably have had a heart attack by now.

 

Off to the finals, and I have an issue. I have Cam vs ATL that should be a great game for him but after tonight I have no faith. Rivers is going against Baltimore. I just put in a waver request to grab Trubisky going against Detroit. If I don't get him, not sure what to do, and I'm still nervous to stream someone in a final, but I have no faith in my matchups. Prescott may be my next option if I don't get Trubisky.

[jerebear21]

My garbage keeper league team went 6-7 needing a win on final week to get into playoffs. Laid all my cash on expensive keeper pick so had 15 bucks going into the draft and just defeated a 12-1 team that bulldoze the entire league. All about the free agent bids and pickups. And I made some good moves down the stretch.

 

 

[highergr0und]

Alright, who's still looking at this? Cam is officially out and I've gutted my bench for QBs to make a decision from.

 

Trubisky vs SF (7th worst against QBs, gave up 30 passing TDs for 2nd worst in league but only give up avg of 234 yards a game)

Mayfield vs Cin (2nd worst against QBs, gave up 28 passing TDs and 271 yds a game)

Dak vs TB (4th worst overall, 30 passing TDs against, 259 yds a game)

Josh Allen (Dark Horse) vs NE (9th worst overall, 28 TDs against, 271 yds a game) Super risky here, but he has a running upside

Rivers vs Baltimore, (just about the best pass D in the game, only 18 TDs against, 203 yd average)

 

I pretty much think Rivers is out due to the matchup, and Allen is probably too risky since Buffalo doesn't have much to play for.

 

Bears are totally in the playoffs and have an outside shot at home field if they win out. Cowboys need to bounce back from last week and are at home against the Bucs, and Cleveland has an outside shot at playoffs at home against the Bengals who they torched last time. I am starting Chubb as well so that would be a lot of chips in that one game, but not too worried about that.

 

HELP!!

I was going to say Mayfield. I think he's the most consistent bet of the options right now. I wouldn't be super worried about Rivers, but maybe a lower ceiling against BAL. Dak's fantasy value is rushing TD dependent. Trubisky has slowed from being on fire mid season. Still only "meh" on Allen.

 

Then I saw that Mayfield put up 258yds and 4TDs against CIN already this year...on only 19 completions. So that pretty well confirmed that yes, I'd probably go with Mayfield against the league's worst defense (most YPG allowed, second most PPG allowed, 4th most passing YA in particular, etc).

[highergr0und]

Thanks, Mayfield is where my head is at, too. I need to check on weather. Trubisky is probably my second choice right now. Looking deeper at Dak's stats, I see red flags. Probably will get like 250 and 2 TDs at best.

[adam667220]

I'll ask my question. If Conner gets cleared to play, do you trust him at all? Dinged up and time share with Samuels? They're in a must win game, but I can see him busting. My only serviceable alternative is Elijah McGuire against Packers in GB.

 

*Nevermind. They've updated for today's practice and he's already telling people he's not ready. McGuire it is.

[scratchswinger]

Mayfield

[1puttTUT]

I need to play two of the three: Trubisky, Mayfield, Lamar Jackson. Leaning the first two.

You appear to be leaning the right way.

I have this issue as well. Right now ive got Kamara and Chubb with Edelman in flex. I'm not sure I can trust Conner at all in the lineup.

[JackpotJohnny]

Need some help with my flex options please guys

Need some help with my flex options please guys

 

Confused by what help you're looking for. You want us to confirm you should start the guy that's had 400 yards and 6 TD's the last two weeks? lol

[highergr0und]

Starting Henry is a no brainer. Samuels would be nice to get on the field, but New Orleans is averaging allowing 79 yards and only given up 10 rushing TDs as the top run defense in the league. Jamaal Williams is a wild card, had one good game but going against a weak defense.

Hahah I’m confused that you’re confused about what I’m asking...but essentially yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for.

A more thoughtful and comprehensive answer might have been something like :

‘As I mentioned above, I anticipate Baker to go off against the bengals like he did last time they met. There’s opportunity for that game to get out of hand, and Mixon hasnt seen a lot on the passing game the last few weeks.

Henry has gone ham the last 2 games, and I don’t see that changing this week, considering what on the line, and how close he is to breaking the 1k mark for the first time in his career. He’s going to be a must play, so I’d probably start Henry over Mixon because there’s a bigger upside there.

Even If Conner is out, I don’t like the Samuels play because you’re putting too many eggs in one basket already with brown and ju-ju. Even thou Williams may be limited, he doesn’t really have anyone behind him, so I’d start him in the flex instead.”

 

There’s damn near 5 figures on the line in this game, and the projection is at 2pts, so even as much of a no-brainer as it may seem, I’d like all the affirmation I can get that I’m rolling out the beat possible options.

Fair enough, just giving you a hard time given his recent statline. I like your lineup as is for the same reason's you've explained. Mixon is the leading rusher in the AFC and with all the injuries around him he's kind of the only player left on offense so I wouldn't be too worried about him. Henry probably won't have 200 yards and 3 TDs this week, but based on the last couple weeks they have to keep feeding him and against a middle of the road defense. Samuels has a very small sample size so you don't really know who you're getting, they're playing a far superior rushing defense, AND you have the 2 WRs.

[JackpotJohnny]

Exactly what’s I’m needing to hear guys, thanks for the insights!

[CHuntsman]

Dilemma 1: Jamaal Williams GB or Damien Williams KC

Dilemma 2: Robbie Anderson NYJ or Robert Foster BUF

Dilemma 3: D. Baldwin, R. Foster, K. Golladay, Josh Reynolds, Sanu. (Pick 1)
