Random FF Thoughts

I start one of those. I already have McCaffrey in.
heck- Kamara is on waivers.

Then I think it's between Conner and Stevenson. .... the safer bet is likely Conner since Stevenson has been banged up.

@tlance @TREFF @Bandit @HaroldSeattle - any thoughts ? This is a game I actually have zero business even being in, so upside is a must - he has J. Allen.

Geesh...neither guy SHOULD be doing what they're doing, so it makes it really tough to endorse either, as your just waiting for the wheels to fall off.

I think you gotta go with the Stuach, becuase of AJBrown and Waddle.

It's a very tough call, as all of those guys are capable of 20+ on just a slightly above average day, but all have seemingly hit a friggin wall lately.

In those instances, I side with the guy who is just the better RB, talent wise, and hope that's the week that cream rises to the top. And in that list, imho, that dude is Chubb

Eagles rushing for a lot of their touchdowns is always a risk with minshew. Need the passing game to score from a long ways out. Can the saints score to keep the Eagles passing? Pretty good upside if things go your way.

Who you guys like more this week? I'm kind of scrapping the bottom of the barrel - Minshew (vs NO) or Mike White (at SEA). White seems to have the better matchup, but Mania showed he can hang with a top tier DST and has better weapons. Leaning Minshew.

Dont know about the Saints DBs, but assume they are pretty good since the defense does well. You have to remember against Dallas they are on like their 9th DB (due to injuries) in the starting line up or some shit.
I would think if Mike White came back as if he never left off. He was slingin' the ball. Against a seattle defense. I would easily go that route. Problem is as his 1st game back. Is he that same QB?

Food for thought on either of them.

That's a tough call as both QBs could be just handing the ball off. Seahawks run defense is so bad, there's practically no reason to pass. Course the pass defense isn't really good either.

Why in God's name would you be asking for my advice on who to play? I would play Mike White, so you should do the exact opposite of that.

I agree, always seems weird when lefty tags you. It’s like he doesn’t have your phone number if he really cared about your opinion.

I've just been awful at lineup decisions this year.

That was good advise .... neither did much but Minshew was still lightyears better than White.

So, now that the Bills-Bengals game will not be played during week 17, what are the options to finish out the fantasy season's that end week 17 ? I haven't seen anything yet that fantasy site are doing about it. ..... last I saw was wait for it to be re-scheduled but also saw that the NFL will only do that if the week 18 outcomes affect the playoffs.

theres nothing for the fantasy sites to do... it is all up to individual commissioners at this point...

1) make a real, honest, assessment on the current score of the games involved with players from MNF. If you can't make a realistic case that a comeback was in the making, give the current winner the game. You have to award a champion, imo, with the stats we have + a realistic forecast of the Buf/Cin players.
2) let the managers involved decide what to do with any prize money involved

Just wait and go with the official stats whenever they come. That seems pretty easy. Even if those stats are what they are now, or zero because the game was annulled.

The problem is for leagues that go past Week 17.

money leagues on fantrax are commished by fantrax same with all the other sites like espn and yahoo
private leagues have their own commish

Well, both sites I'm talking about just have a hold on everything until the NFL makes a decision - but they already have for week 17 - - there is no week 17 for BUF-CIN unless it happens in week 19 (but only 'if necessary').

Yeah, in my other dynasty league we are discussing several options.

But the more i think about it (and i know this will not be popular), but if the game will not be made up, then the reality is that the players that were in the lineups are gonna have be taken at face value.

Fantasy owners have no control over play calls, in-game injuries, weather conditions, usage and the like. If a game gets cancelled, it may be a hard pill to swallow but thats how the chips fell, just like any other game that you cannot predict.

i agree with this If someone gets injured u dont get his points he should have got
Its the nature of fantasy u can lose for many reasons and now we can add cancelled to the list
