Cluster f*** of a lineup situation

[richig07]

Mack goes down. Tyreek on a bye (and possibly down). David Johnson on a bye (who cares?).

I'm very deep at RB, luckily. I still have Aaron Jones and the (suddenly surging!) Joe Mixon to slot in. I have no WR's after Julio/Tyreek besides Josh Gordon. This is now a bit of a problem. I also have no D/SPT's to play.

Flex:

So, unfortunately I've had Wilkins as the Mack handcuff and then when he goes down? It's Jonathan Williams going for 100 yards. I couldn't get Williams on waivers and I get the feeling that he's going to out touch Wilkins.

I don't think I can bank on Breida on MNF to play. To make matters worse? Duke Johnson and Wilkins play Thursday. So, I can't see how Breida's injury report develops. I also have Brian Hill vs TB.

Options: Risk Breida not playing vs GB, Wilkins vs HOU, Duke Johnson vs IND or Brian Hill vs TB

Jamal Williams has also finally hit waivers after I've waited all year for a chance to get Jones handcuff. But starting both GB RB's vs SF is probably not the play.

WR2:

So, right now it's Josh Gordon vs PHI slotted in. He's strung me along all year and I kind of feel like "At this point? What the hell?". It's a good matchup and he should be more acclimated to the offense after the bye. Had a couple clutch catches vs SF.

Other options: Add Chris Conley vs TEN, Zach Pascal vs HOU if TY is out (don't mind this), H. Renfrow vs NYJ or R. Anderson vs OAK.

D/SPT:

I have had Indy's D for a while and they have been consistent. Got 8 points vs HOU last time around. I also claimed ATL D who is suddenly good(?) and has turnover prone TB.

I can also claim Seattle D on waivers. Beyond that, it's not inviting on the wire.

i wouldnt wanna touch this, like i said in another post, people assume its williams, others are assuming its wilkins, likely its a cluster. If its not, you better hope you guess right which guy gets touches.

I don't think I can bank on Breida on MNF to play. To make matters worse? Duke Johnson and Wilkins play Thursday. So, I can't see how Breida's injury report develops. I also have Brian Hill vs TB.
Breida is a talent but look at his points the past handful of games hes played, has not been productive AT ALL. Tampa isnt juicy vs rb's but he'll get touches.

Options: Risk Breida not playing vs GB, Wilkins vs HOU, Duke Johnson vs IND or Brian Hill vs TB
i hate it, but its hill. Only guy with clear path to touches, and a good bit.

Jamal Williams has also finally hit waivers after I've waited all year for a chance to get Jones handcuff. But starting both GB RB's vs SF is probably not the play.
San fran has produced what 4-5? total top 30 rb's, chances of two Green bay guys getting top 30 is slim. Problem is who gets it? if any? again, better guess right, for some reason i could see it being jamal with dump offs.....but u to play jones here

WR2:

So, right now it's Josh Gordon vs PHI slotted in. He's strung me along all year and I kind of feel like "At this point? What the hell?". It's a good matchup and he should be more acclimated to the offense after the bye. Had a couple clutch catches vs SF.

I think even if lockett goes, hes less than 100%, and the showed confidence in gordon last game, roll him out.

Other options: Add Chris Conley vs TEN, Zach Pascal vs HOU if TY is out (don't mind this), H. Renfrow vs NYJ or R. Anderson vs OAK.
only one id be semi confident in getting gauranteed points is renfrom in ppr leagues. Rest are dart throws. Pascal flopped

D/SPT:

I have had Indy's D for a while and they have been consistent. Got 8 points vs HOU last time around. I also claimed ATL D who is suddenly good(?) and has turnover prone TB.

I can also claim Seattle D on waivers. Beyond that, it's not inviting on the wire.

I wouldnt touch seattle, they get blown up every game. id play atlanta

 

[TKOSpikes]

Play Duke. Otherwise drop him. This would be a situation for his justification of being on a roster.

Don't trust either of the three WR you've given. Pascal has lost my trust and TY might play.

Houston probably itching to perform after last week. I'd say Atlanta is safer.

 

[SteelersPride]

@richig07 later on im gonna post something similar, would appreciate input.

 

[TREFF]

Duke, Gordon, and ride Atlanta while they are hot I guess

You got it.

 

[richig07]

It feels very, very strange that we are evening discussing the "Atlanta D" as an option.

SO here is league 1 with issues.

Again, Injuries have killed me.

So I have kyler, and streamed baker, All 3 cards are on a bye. dam williams on a bye. Engram may not play. Now devante adams is a GTD. I really dont even wanna start ballage or singletary, but my options are slim. I can drop ebron right now and grab someone. But what do i do with this roster? i have dam and DJ and engram that you really cant drop, but are killing me and tying up roster spots. THen singletary whose right on the edge or breaking out, and not being start worthy. fn kalen ballage just because he gets volume. Heres whats there

 

[SteelersPride]

CLuster F' 2

2 qb league, 3 man benches, rough, full ppr
mahomes on bye, DJ on bye, Dj is sucking. Keenan allen on bye, engram questionable, do i really wanna play jamal williams? macks hurt, i have drake. i mean. I even cheated and put engram in the IR spot. i still cant fill a roster. im gonna have to cut DJ and mack arent i? unless i roll no D, kicker? im holding the last playoff spot right now. I was in first, and hundreds of points ahead of everyone and injuries have got me..........



waivers arent super enticing

Why the hell is the bench three players deep? That's insanity. Yeah, you pretty much have to play Williams (could be worse; he gets opportunity in a good offense and it's PPR).

Yeah, I guess you have to gauge between dropping DJ or going without a D/SPT. Is dropping DJ worth it to you to get Dede Westbrook into your lineup? I mean, he's been non-existent. Still, tough for a guy that was your RB1 a month ago. But you may have to.

I guess dropping and snagging Dede would be how I fill the lineup out. But... that's if I decided it was worth it. Three man benches? Golly. lol

I know right. Yeah 3 man bench. In a must win. The three man bench makes it so hard. Just for situations like this. I knew early this week was gonna be tough. I tried to trade to make it work but couldn’t. Ugh. I guess I’m gonna wait n see what my opponent does he has some guys hurt. He’s 2-9. I need to win though. If I think I can win without a kicker I may. D don’t score much in this league either like 5-7 points where scoring 150 is the avg.

many suggestion on the first one.

In regards to your RB situation, is Kareem Hunt available by chance? Looking at percentages, he's still available in a good chunk of leagues. His passing value makes him flex worthy, especially in PPR, and I think he's gonna break thru the TD wall soon

As for WR, I'd go Renfrow

You're stuck with the Indy D if that's all that's there. I'd look at streaming whoever is facing Cincy,Wash, Miami week to week if possible

So I have kyler, and streamed baker, All 3 cards are on a bye. dam williams on a bye. Engram may not play. Now devante adams is a GTD.

But what do i do with this roster? i have dam and DJ and engram that you really cant drop, but are killing me and tying up roster spots. THen singletary whose right on the edge or breaking out, and not being start worthy. fn kalen ballage just because he gets volume. Heres whats there
View attachment 223588[/QUOTE]

Shit, sorry. @SteelersPride I somehow missed the top one.

Ebron practiced in full yesterday. So, he should be good to go. I would slot him in and bench Engram who appears to still be on track to miss Sunday in Chicago. I don't think you have a choice besides keeping Ebron and playing him. Otherwise, you won't be playing a TE.

And... I would honestly drop Ballage for Scarborough. Ball is averaging 1.9 YPC and he only really had that good volume once. He was down to 9 carries this past week. There's no upside to him. F him. Scarborough has a good matchup and there's a chance he gets the bulk of the touches the rest of the way for Detroit.

 

[SteelersPride]

ughhh i guess .......he does blow

For TE over ebron, hollister is out there, as is san frans back up who i touted last week and i only played in one spot......

 

[richig07]

Yeah, interesting. I might lean Hollister. He's seemingly carving out a role for himself in that offense and that's a pretty decent matchup.

I have no interest in Dwelley unless he's playing Arizona. I did play him all over on FanDuel last week, though. I think he's totally TD dependent and unless he's playing what seems to be the worst TE defense we've ever seen? I can't bank on that.

I don't see anyone there to help. Maybe Wilkins.

Can you trade Mahomes?

i guess its possible..........i can start whipping out offers, but for what?

his matchup this week is against a top 5 worst against the TE with sanders and deebo maybe out......or hurt, sign me up if kittle is out

 

[TKOSpikes]

i guess its possible..........i can start whipping out offers, but for what?

Who wants him.
Who needs him.
Who has a high end RB/WR they can part with.

Combine these three things, and you'll have your answer.
