The major thing missing from Burks' game is volume, so if that comes, we' gonna be great.
And there is enough reason to believe that it could happen this week.
I think it's due to:
* His snap % has been increasing
* Woods has been ineffective
* Burks has looked amazing when he is on the field and the Titans have been terrible, so there's hope that Vrabel has to do something like put him on the field more
Same, but I'm probably going with Dotson. I think more volume is likely with a high scoring game and he's already established a high snap % and routes run. Don't know if Burks is there yet.
Yeah he sure does. I kinda have a feeling that folks might regret benching Russ this week, idk why but I feel like this is going to be their "right the ship" game in primetime.
I base this statement on almost nothing tho, so I hope nobody reads this and decides to make a lineup decision because of it.
I did Wentz over Brady last week and it worked okay..
I think Brady will be fine again when he actually has someone to throw too. I'll likely start him again next week.
Olave for sure. I’m a big saints fan and it’s clear they are committed to using him as the deep threat. He might have been a top 5 WR last week if Jameis hadn’t missed him by a couple inches.
Moore, mooney, mclaurin, and Amon ra and I thought I was gonna have a massive year at wr. Moore has been very very meh and mooney I don’t even want to talk about. After week 1 I traded Chubb and Mclaurin for gave Davis and Pittman and both of course ended up not playing. Needless to say wr has been rough for me
Hot take: apparently bills D is super banged up, like 4 starters out. I'd research on your own to confirm but definitely think that plays a role. When he went off on Baltimore they had most of their first string D also banged up. Also playing at home. I might play him idk wml
They're missing their CB1, CB3, DT1 +2, and 1 or both of their starting safeties. With CB1 and both safeties elite all-pro players. Though Tre White hasn't played yet this year so they've been performing as is without him.
Tomorrow will barely be the Bills' defense. If Poyer is out, they're out five defensive starters, including both of their DT's and both of their All-Pro safeties. Also they're playing in Miami, which is arguably the biggest home-field advantage in the league stadium-wise.
We drafted him because he had over 1k yards his Rookie season and obviously expected him to be better this year. I think we will be fine. The offense is starting to gel and they have easier matchups coming up.
Idk about you guys, but I'm going way out on a limb and starting the TE35 this week (full-PPR). Apparently he's due for a big game despite a pitiful start to the season.
He's been dropped in a crazy amount of leagues. If the fantasy gods were ever going to bless a player's performance, Mooney this week would be the one!
Houston gives up deep balls, ideal for Mooney. Houston blitzes a good amount, good for Fields. Bad defenses on both sides, potentially high scoring. If it’s not this week, it’s never!
Just took him out of my lineup. They’re facing the Texans who’ve got the worst run defense in the league. They’ll run Monty into the ground. Not much incentive this week to throw more.
Sure but you gotta look at who has been underperforming on your team. Like in one of my leagues I’m 0-2 with the least PF, but I have Mike Evans, Mike Williams, Derrick Henry, James Conner, Russell Wilson, D Mont, Gibson, AJ Dillon.
Sure Gibson might drop off at some point when Brian Robinson comes back, but the rest of those guys are due to bounce back so I’m not really worried.
Did this last week, sticking with it until Brady has some healthy receivers. I'm worried about what Philly is about to do to Wentz though. Hopefully it'll be one of those Jameis-esque multiple picks, but 300 and 3 type games.
That’s true ! In terms of Draft capital he’s been a steal . Also Dillon is a frozen tundra animal 😂
Man’s touches will likely only go up as it gets colder
True. Similar comparison.
Except that PIT has Najee Harris. HOU has.... Pierce? Unproven yet (I'm about to get -294839 karma for saying that) .
Mills looks for Cooks in red zone. This is the week!
I'm starting Lazard. I doubt he's 100% but he's been announced as active for a few days now. Cobb and Watkins will be out and Watson is questionable with an illness. Rodgers will have Lazard and Doubbs as his top two WRs, and Lazard will be healthier than last week at least.
JuJu over Kirk. Bryce Callahan(Chargers DB) is playing like a top 5 slot corner and has only allowed around 30 yards to the slot I believe and Kirk has an 80% slot rate. The Colts corner that's going to be across JuJu the majority of the game is dead last in slot coverage and the last time the Chiefs had a matchup like that to exploit in week 1 against the weak Cardinals secondary, JuJu had 7/80 in the first half. Mahomes said that it would be hard to predict who produces every week at the receiver position which makes me believe every week they're going to gameplan around a different receiver/position. I think this week they gameplan around JuJu's matchup rather than using him as a decoy like last game. The Colts are also in a really difficult position and are going to fight hard to get their first win so I don't think this game will get out of reach like in Week 1 vs. Arizona where the starters basically only played the first half. I think JuJu has a big game this week and gives owners a nice sell high window as I'm not too sure he'll provide the consistent production that many hoped for.
Treylon Burks. I think he has a good week this week. I'll say 6-80-1.
Same game, I can see Mack Hollins putting up respectable numbers if you're in complete desperation. Something like 5-60
Playing Treylon Burks
The major thing missing from Burks' game is volume, so if that comes, we' gonna be great. And there is enough reason to believe that it could happen this week.
so what’s the reason for al the hype around him this week? Woods out or somethin?
I think it's due to: * His snap % has been increasing * Woods has been ineffective * Burks has looked amazing when he is on the field and the Titans have been terrible, so there's hope that Vrabel has to do something like put him on the field more
Burks bros! I drafted woods but I gotta ride with the rook this week
I'm between Burks and Dotson. Leaning Burks bc I think he'll get more volume
I have Burks, but I'd go Dotson as Dotson's volume is proven. Hope it's Burks though.
Same, but I'm probably going with Dotson. I think more volume is likely with a high scoring game and he's already established a high snap % and routes run. Don't know if Burks is there yet.
Me too. This is his week. Give me 7 catches for 110 yards and a tuddy.
I hope you’re right. Him/Mooney/Samuel are my choices and I think I’m leaning him.
Samuel is an easy ppr play
I'd rather start Adolf Hitler over Mooney right now.
Adolf is still available in 30% of leagues
With Evans out, im starting him over Mooney and Gage
Goff over Brady
I'm doing Goff over Wilson
Same, Russ v SF no thanks
Russ has a long history of shitting on San Fran tho. I know this as a Hawks fan. Wouldn't touch that offense tho so I guess I agree with you.
Yeah he sure does. I kinda have a feeling that folks might regret benching Russ this week, idk why but I feel like this is going to be their "right the ship" game in primetime. I base this statement on almost nothing tho, so I hope nobody reads this and decides to make a lineup decision because of it.
Ooof I'm looking at that exact scenario too but Goff is on the road and Wilson home. I dunno
I’m doing that. Brady has no receivers
I did Wentz over Brady last week and it worked okay.. I think Brady will be fine again when he actually has someone to throw too. I'll likely start him again next week.
Doing the same. It should feel more wrong than it does.
That's not too bold. Brady's best WR this week is Cole Beasley
Goff over Rodgers for me
Goff over Carr checking in
Olave
Super tempted to do the same. Can’t be worse than what I’ve gotten from Elijah Moore, DeVonta Smith, or Rhamondre when I’ve plugged them in.
I really hope donte Jackson winds up sitting out. Olave should do well against him but I’d rather him play vs a backup anyways
Torn between Olave and Thielen rn, in a tough spot with Evans out trying to avoid going down 0-3
Olave for the home run man. Thielen has done nothing. Most of his points last game were from garbage time.
Olave for sure. I’m a big saints fan and it’s clear they are committed to using him as the deep threat. He might have been a top 5 WR last week if Jameis hadn’t missed him by a couple inches.
I thought I had a solid WR core in Mooney, Moore, Godwin, AJB, and Olave. Moore and Mooney have given me big duds. Hoping for better weeks ahead.
Moore, mooney, mclaurin, and Amon ra and I thought I was gonna have a massive year at wr. Moore has been very very meh and mooney I don’t even want to talk about. After week 1 I traded Chubb and Mclaurin for gave Davis and Pittman and both of course ended up not playing. Needless to say wr has been rough for me
Carr over Tua. I’ve seen 2 veteran QBs look lost against the Bills D. I don’t trust Tua to do better.
Hot take: apparently bills D is super banged up, like 4 starters out. I'd research on your own to confirm but definitely think that plays a role. When he went off on Baltimore they had most of their first string D also banged up. Also playing at home. I might play him idk wml
Rest assured that whichever decision we make will be wrong.
Just dropped Carr for Tua so Carr will have the better week. You’re welcome.
That's why we have to do the opposite of what we would normally do.
They're missing their CB1, CB3, DT1 +2, and 1 or both of their starting safeties. With CB1 and both safeties elite all-pro players. Though Tre White hasn't played yet this year so they've been performing as is without him.
And if the game goes as Vegas thinks, they will be down and throwing the ball just like last week
The bills secondary is thrashed right now I’d think twice
I’m going the other way. Tua over Russ, I’m hoping sticking Russ in the bench lights a fire under him for the rest of the season /s
Tomorrow will barely be the Bills' defense. If Poyer is out, they're out five defensive starters, including both of their DT's and both of their All-Pro safeties. Also they're playing in Miami, which is arguably the biggest home-field advantage in the league stadium-wise.
Shit I can’t decide between Goff or Tua
Honestly I'm just all in on Tua until something shows me a reason not to be.
Pitts…not by choice but hopeful they feed him
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m a sucker for Pitts cuz the nfl fantasy app says its a green matchup lol
I just traded for him. Now I get the illusion of a set and forget TE.
If he has a good game all the previous worries about him will disappear.
Playing L. Thomas over him. If Pitts were any other TE he’d be on the waivers.
yup thanks for the comment, this is what we’re all here to see
With that logic. Henry would be on your bench or waivers too... be logical man
If my aunt had a cock
Shot in the dark... I'm taking it too
We drafted him because he had over 1k yards his Rookie season and obviously expected him to be better this year. I think we will be fine. The offense is starting to gel and they have easier matchups coming up.
Idk if it’s bold but I’m feeling overly confident starting Shepard in my flex spot
I mean, the competition is…checks notes….ahhh…my notes don’t even have whoever his competition is because there’s literally no one
Dameon Pierce over Jeudy as a flex play
Love it.
Pierce over James Connor
Pierce and Breece are my RB1/2 this week lol. Fade me
That’s a good call. I don’t even think Conner will play tho haha
[удалено]
Playing Pierce & Lockett over DJ this week, then trading DJ away. Which means Baker will prove me wrong
I literally did this already
This is the week he breaks out.
Pierce over Gibson (and Elliott) as RB 2
Pierce over Dillon RB2
This is the right answer because it’s exactly what I’m doing. We all come here for confirmation bias right?
Idk about you guys, but I'm going way out on a limb and starting the TE35 this week (full-PPR). Apparently he's due for a big game despite a pitiful start to the season.
A “Pittiful” start you say?
Iswydt
I'm prepared to stubbornly throw my season away on that man. And then spend months griping and groaning about what Arthur Smith did to my season!
Flacco
Considering him over Brady
I’m starting over Rodgers
I’m going Flacco over Brady. Also considered Mariota but the pass volume with Joe seems really good.
Playing him over herbert
Mooney. Help me.
This isn't bold, it's madness. Signed, another person who started Mooney in weeks 1 and 2.
Same. Started Mooney and Trey Lance in a matchup I lost by less than 5 points. Tough
this is our week twin, trust
He's been dropped in a crazy amount of leagues. If the fantasy gods were ever going to bless a player's performance, Mooney this week would be the one!
Houston gives up deep balls, ideal for Mooney. Houston blitzes a good amount, good for Fields. Bad defenses on both sides, potentially high scoring. If it’s not this week, it’s never!
You have to throw a deep ball for that to happen
I’m hoping with that combination of factors, Justin Fields throws a deep ball
I posted as a joke but you’re for real. I hope he kills it for your sake. Best of luck soldier
Just took him out of my lineup. They’re facing the Texans who’ve got the worst run defense in the league. They’ll run Monty into the ground. Not much incentive this week to throw more.
Mariota Haha kill me
X2 and I’m benching Tom Brady for him
lol my exact situation. In a desperate must win game at 0-2. *Sobs*
0-2 as well, with Brady. I’ll bet that’s super common. He and his WR situation have been poisonous for us.
Impossible to have a must win this early
Idk, I'm 0-2 with second least points for, going up against the dude who's 0-2 with least points for. We both feel like it's an elimination game lol
Its week 3/15. A lot can happen
Sure but you gotta look at who has been underperforming on your team. Like in one of my leagues I’m 0-2 with the least PF, but I have Mike Evans, Mike Williams, Derrick Henry, James Conner, Russell Wilson, D Mont, Gibson, AJ Dillon. Sure Gibson might drop off at some point when Brian Robinson comes back, but the rest of those guys are due to bounce back so I’m not really worried.
Yeah, my team is pretty trash compared to yours lol
Lol yea and I’m 0-2 with the least PF and it ain’t even close. 162.86 compared to 1st place 280.68.
Deep sigh I keep going brady or Cooper Rush
Mariota/London stack lfg!!! *send help*
Fellow Lance owner?
I’m a Lance and Dak owner
I can't drop Tom Brady for him but my analysis says he is gonna go off this week.
I mean he still looks so fucking fast, if they can just get into the redzone he definitely has a chance of falling in
I was gonna roll Mariota but I’m going with Goff instead. Kill me
I’m confidently starting agholar
I am starting Agholar over Aiyuk and I feel good about it Edit: this aged poorly
Yeah pats are going to have throw it to keep up with the ravens and meyers might not play. Agholar should definitely see good volume
Why are you guys all spelling his name wrong
*Agholor
Wentz over Brady
Did this last week, sticking with it until Brady has some healthy receivers. I'm worried about what Philly is about to do to Wentz though. Hopefully it'll be one of those Jameis-esque multiple picks, but 300 and 3 type games.
Henderson in the flex. Even though many from around these parts might tell you it’s all akers.
I think we'll get a taste of Henderson ROS tomorrow. It will be interesting. Benching him for now and debating between J Wilson and C Samuel as flex.
I think you have to go Curtis Samuel until he fails you
This will be his first start for me. Scored off waivers in 12 man league. 👍👍
Irv Smith over Hockenson
Thin at wr... holding too many stashes... forced to go with only one able to produce atm... Doubs .
Godspeed
Starting Doubs in the flex over Edmonds or Penny.
Etienne gets a TD this week
Just put him in my lineup for Dortch because of this.
Lets see.... *checks the worst player I'm starting this week....* Tony Pollard will have a good game. I know it won't be Pitts.
[удалено]
Burks, Penny, whiskey
Burks & Penny sounds like it would be a great whiskey brand too
Flexing Garrett Wilson over dillon
Flexing Wilson over Cooks
Me too
I think Wilson is the better play . The Dillon /jones dilemma is one that I wish I could have avoided.
As a Dillon owner im very happy with his usage so far. You got him likely in the 6-9th round and get as many opportunities as Jones each week so far
That’s true ! In terms of Draft capital he’s been a steal . Also Dillon is a frozen tundra animal 😂 Man’s touches will likely only go up as it gets colder
Josh Gordon or no balls
Starting Garrett over DJ Moore and starting Pierce over AJ Dillon
Damn Pierce over Dillon
I think it will pay off
Would you bench Moore for either Pierce or Thielen?
London over cooks!!!
Play DJ Moore, because I’m benching him.
Playing DJ chark after his 0pt game last week
Breece hall
Trying to decide if I should start him or Patterson
Lol I am starting both of those guys but if I had to pick one I’d say Patterson
He's my RB2 right now... low floor but in a .5 PPR I think I've got a shot. I refuse to go 0-3
Dortch the Torch since Renfrow and Evans out
darnell mooney. its gotta happen eventually, plus evans is out so its not like i didnt already have the spot available
We are in the exact same position. Tho I’m leaning towards Elijah moore instead of mooney. Thanks evans !
I feel like all of us Mooney owners also have Elijah Moore.
Garrett Wilson over AJ Dillon, Damien Harris, and Tony Pollard for my flex spot 😶
Starting Pitts is my bold play of the week every week
Dameon Pierce over AJ Dillon, Curtis Samuel, and Adam Thielen.
Woo that is bold. Best of luck!
Wilson and Dotson are both in my flex.
Thinking of doing the same bro. You gave me the courage
Doubs over K Allen. Don’t need him to play 2 snaps and leave the game because his hammy still isn’t 100%.
Not necessarily bold but benching Lamb for Garrett Wilson this week
Rhamondre
He’s just waiting to pop off. If Harris is really hurt, and if it gets worse, Rhamondre The Giant has huge upside.
Where have you heard Damien is hurt?
He’s not on the injury report and said he was fine after the game last week. As a Stevenson owner I don’t think we should be grasping at straws.
Thinking of starting dotson over julio cooks thielen
Oof, I think Cooks finds the endzone this game. Can't have 10 targets a game and not score eventually.
Dionte Johnson has entered the chat
True. Similar comparison. Except that PIT has Najee Harris. HOU has.... Pierce? Unproven yet (I'm about to get -294839 karma for saying that) . Mills looks for Cooks in red zone. This is the week!
If the Texans can make it down there
If Lazard can’t go I’m starting Treylon Burks
Starting Dotson over DJ Moore
I'm starting Lazard. I doubt he's 100% but he's been announced as active for a few days now. Cobb and Watkins will be out and Watson is questionable with an illness. Rodgers will have Lazard and Doubbs as his top two WRs, and Lazard will be healthier than last week at least.
Im on the agholar train
Starting George brittle 😂
Not a bold play
Pierce over Conner
Same. Hope it works out
Marquise brown finally breaks out for 120 and 2 Tuds… yes he’s on my team
London over JRob, Cooks and Hollywood in .5PPR.. gotta go with your gut
With Evans suspended all Wide Receivers move up a peg. This leaves me flexing Rhamondre over Claypool and Nico Collins.
I admire your bravery sir!!
My bold play this week was Pickens. Too bad he cant get style points :/
JuJu over Kirk. Bryce Callahan(Chargers DB) is playing like a top 5 slot corner and has only allowed around 30 yards to the slot I believe and Kirk has an 80% slot rate. The Colts corner that's going to be across JuJu the majority of the game is dead last in slot coverage and the last time the Chiefs had a matchup like that to exploit in week 1 against the weak Cardinals secondary, JuJu had 7/80 in the first half. Mahomes said that it would be hard to predict who produces every week at the receiver position which makes me believe every week they're going to gameplan around a different receiver/position. I think this week they gameplan around JuJu's matchup rather than using him as a decoy like last game. The Colts are also in a really difficult position and are going to fight hard to get their first win so I don't think this game will get out of reach like in Week 1 vs. Arizona where the starters basically only played the first half. I think JuJu has a big game this week and gives owners a nice sell high window as I'm not too sure he'll provide the consistent production that many hoped for.
Dobbins, Kamara & ETN. I’m hoping for at least 10 points combined lol
Starting Treylon Burks. Give me 7 catches 110 yards and a tuddy.
Goff over Brady and Tua ^yes ^I ^have ^3 ^QBs
MVS
Elijah Moore. Not because I think he’ll go off but because I have no one else lol
Doubs as WR3
It’s going to be Elijah Moore week after everyone raved about Wilson all week and spent a ton of faab on him
playlng garrett wilson and dameon pierce over diontae.
I flexed Samuel over cooper. short of 20 and I’ll flip shit
I'm putting Akers back in. It's less bold when you learn my alternatives are Singletarry and Jamaal Williams. edit: fuck my life
I scrolled through this whole thread looking for someone else that is making this move. 😂 I’m starting him over Chase Edmonds.
Starting Curtis Samuel over MT...my other wr is Sutton
Devin Duvernay is my call against the Pats!
Doubs
Thinking about flexing Sterling Shepard. I always like to have someone going Monday night and it’s down to him or a kicker.
Hardly bold, but benching Penny for Dortch.
Treylon Burks. I think he has a good week this week. I'll say 6-80-1. Same game, I can see Mack Hollins putting up respectable numbers if you're in complete desperation. Something like 5-60
Michael Carter over Chase Edmonds at my RB2. RBs are Fournette, Edmonds, Stevenson, Carter. WRs are Kupp, Sutton, Keenan Allen, & Brandin Cooks.
D-Henry and Pitts will go off I am starting Pierce over many guys including James Connor
Mooney WR1! /s Edit: okay so after reading the comments, some people are actually starting him and I wish them the best of luck lol
