My championship lineup...

QB - Jimmy G @ LAR
RB - McCoy @ MIA
* RB - Henry vs JAX, Gio @ BAL, or Miller @ IND
WR - Michael Thomas @ TB
WR - Doug Baldwin vs ARI
* Flex - Tyreek Hill @ DEN, D. Thomas vs KC, Gio @ BAL, Miller @ IND, or Henry vs JAX
* TE - Graham vs ARI, Olsen @ ATL

So, still have those choices to make. Gio will depend on Mixon. If Mixon plays, I think both are out for me. If Mixon sits, Gio makes a nice candidate for this PPR league. Henry looks like he will get the bulk of the carries at RB, but Jacksonville is a tough matchup, although they may be resting starters.

Tyreek Hill is interesting to me. With Mahommes's arm, Hill could get a couple bombs his way. We get bonus scoring for long TDs, but he could just as easily shut it down at halftime or before.

And the TEs are scary. Graham has caught like 3 balls in the past 4 weeks or something like that, but he gets targets in the red zone. Carolina should be going all out and Olsen could be a big part of the game plan, but if they get a lead, he may shut down.

And what about my IDPs? Do you think Griffen and Donald would play the whole game? I could see Donald getting pulled after the 1st quarter, if he even plays.

IMO Donald might be an above average play this week with Goff and Gurley sitting. I can see the Rams D being on the field most of the game which plays into Donalds value

QB - Jimmy G @ LAR
RB - McCoy @ MIA
RB - Henry vs JAX
WR - Michael Thomas @ TB
WR - Doug Baldwin vs ARI
Flex - Gio @ BAL, if Mixon does not play. If he does, Miller @ IND
TE - Graham vs ARI, Olsen @ ATL - Still torn.

IDPs - Donald will sit, so I picked up Olivier Vernon. Still a little worried about Everson Griffen, but there are a few guys I could plug in. I think my only worry now is that if Michael Thomas sits. I do have Demaryius, but can I really trust Paxton Lynch? Even with Sanders out? There are a few options on the ww. Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook are probably the two that stand out the most. Hurns is available, but I can't see him playing the whole game. They may keep their youngsters in to get some reps, though.

to add to the confusion:suds:

Malcolm Brown - RB - Rams
Malcolm Brown is expected to be the Rams' starting running back in Week 17 against the 49ers.

It's not a gimme matchup against an underrated 49ers run defense that has held opposing running backs below 3.0 yards per carry in its last five games, but Brown has a shot at a big workload in Todd Gurley's (rest) absence. At 5-foot-11, 224, Brown is a between-the-tackles grinder who's been workmanlike off the bench in mop-up duty this season. He's a volume-based DFS option for Week 17.

Le'Veon Bell and Ben Roethlisberger were both held out of Friday's practice for "non-injury-related" reasons.
It's just the latest indication that neither Bell nor Ben will play Sunday against the Browns. The Steelers will move forward with Landry Jones at quarterback and a rotation of Stevan Ridley-Fitzgerald Toussaint at running back

Thought about rolling with Jimmy G. But I'm still sticking with Winston. It worries me that Jimmy has only 1 game with more than 1 passing TD. Plus the game is at LA.
And if Molson is accurate about Bell, I may need all the points I can muster.

Couple of quick questions in my crazy point league .5 points for completions -1 for sacks .5 for rushing attempts

Brady or Jimmy G?

Derrick Henry or Frank Gore in what is possibly his last game?

I am leaning hard towards Brady, the only way I would sit him is if he is not playing.

I have Henry in my lineup, but wondering if Gore goes out with a bang.

Watson at TE or Ebron?

Do I start Howard at RB, or pick up a FA, pickings are slim.

Redskin D?

Fuller at WR or Agholor

This is what I plan on rolling with.
Had to severely adjust my roster since Goff and LeVeon are not going to play.
I know many of you would rather see me play Jimmy (who I picked up anyway), but I just feel that if the Rams rest everyone (including their defense), I can't see the Niners passing ALL DAY. My guess is they RUN ALL DAY.
Thoughts?

Agree with SP. Start Ebron.
Fuller is a good play since Hopkins will be out.
Redskins (if they don't phone it in) should be able to handle the hapless G-men.
Howard against the Vikes is risky. Minny needs a win to officially lock up the #2 seed and bye.
But if you have no one else to roll with, you never know.​
