Week 15 Lineup Question

@leftypower
If Sanders has a broken hand, i would go Howard. Pretty sure it is a more critical game for the Eagles as well.
Dont like Burkhead. His 100 yards was a fluke. That wont happen again. Ever.

Very close to my thoughts ......... I think Sanders has already been ruled out so Scott is a factor as well - perhaps more so, it's 1/2ppr - dilemma's dilemma's ... probably make a play for both.

@averagejoe @TREFF @tlance @TKOSpikes @Bandit, @Sam Sportboy, et al. ... Another update to my league. I ended up knocking off the #1 seed via ww RB's. Picked up Justin Jackson, with the Ekeler news, who netted me 30.2 pts, and played Penny for another 19.5.
I imagine Ekeler will be back for the finals so have to come up with something else for the championship. CEH got hurt so that leaves me only Penny and Freeman as default starters at this point. Available guys are: J. Howard, B. Scott, Dare O, Burkhead and D. Gore. Yep pretty slim at this point - so who you like ?? I can make room for 2.

Well, missed out on Scott, Dar O, and Burkhead. Ended up with Howard and K. Vaughn - doubt they help the cause, but perhaps depending on what carnage takes place this week. ....

Update - picked up J. Patterson, dropped Vaugh - thoughts on him ....

I originally grabbed him in one league to block the other guy but now I am considering playing him with shit head showing the Q and his coach saying he is a true GTD. Who are you playing him over? Would hate to see Smallwood steal his thunder if the game gets way out of hand too quickly.

EDIT: Think I would play Howard over him if he is good to go.

You’d think he’d be up with Gibson dinged before but they seemed to avoid asking too much of him. Now with Gibson out you’d think he’d have the lead role, but it’s not a certainty. And that whole team is in a shambles right now. Couple of starting OL guys just joined Gibson on the COVID list.

He may get a handful of points but I think it unlikely he hits double digits. WFT needs some heroics to keep their playoff hopes alive but I don’t they’ll ask for them from this kid. Not this year.

 

[TREFF]

Meh...better than nothing, or starting some dude who gets 5-7 touches and you have to hope for a lucky score..but I certainly don't think too terribly highly of the kid

 

[leftypower]

Thanks guys. ....

Sammy, in this league we start 2-rbs, 3-wr/te, 1-flex. Right now I have both Howard and Patterson in. My other choices include: Mooney, Berrios (picked up with news on Crowder and Moore), CEH (status ??), Gallup and Robby A. K. Hunt is in my IR spot (for now).
So full lineup as of today:
T. Hill - QB
Penny - RB
Patterson - RB
Kupp - WR/TE
Hill - WR/TE
Berrios - WR/TE (in mainly since he's the only viable NYJ option this wk)
Howard - flex (due to Q status)
----------------
Bench
Gallup, Anderson, CEH (Q), Mooney, D. Freeman, Akers (D)
Huntley as reserve QB

 

[leftypower]

it's !/2ppr. .... and 4pt passing TD. .. why I lean toward the running QB's.

I think you have to start Penny, and I definitely would not start Gore.

Yes, he should get some carries, but might not be many.

The Chiefs were up by like 30 points at halftime and the Steelers have been atrocious against the run lately.

The Chiefs are normally the most pass happy team in the entire league, but they shifted away from that because Pittsburgh can’t stop the run AND the game was over before the end of the 2nd quarter.

So I would not assume Gore to get more than 5-6 carries in what figures to be a more nuetral script game.

I would be choosing between Scott and Howard for the RB2 spot, and I would wait for latest updates on Howard’s injury status.

 

[tlance]

I like Patterson over all the other options, but his floor is almost zero. So it is a little risky.

I think Howard’s floor is pretty low too though.

I think I am starting Mooney at FLEX.

 

[leftypower]

I think I am starting Mooney at FLEX.

T - I've have him in and out several times. ... Contrary to the 'experts' I thinking Dalton named as starter is an upgrade over Fields in the passing game - but the weather may be on the brutal side though. I'm probably putting way more thought into this that I should. Normally when I'm this torn on a few guys they end up a wash anyway. .....

 

[averagejoe]

My biggest dilemma is QB.
Dak vs AZ or Wilson vs DET
I think Wilson has the better matchup but Seattle doesnt seem to be playing up to their potential.
Have Dak plugged in for now.
Thoughts?

Honestly Joe, I'm not sure how you could trust Wilson at this point - it's Dak for me. He's the one who got ya this far.

Agree.

Wilson has been pretty terrible since his finger injury.

Well, apparently neither of you own Dak.
Other than his week 16 explosion, he's been less than pedestrian lately.
