Random FF Thoughts

Washington is hurt. Getting almost near 15 touches is decent still. Would use my #1 waiver claim if he was on waivers

first I've heard of DeAndre being hurt. R U sure you aren't thinking Dwyane?

 

[DALLAScornhusker]

Lat Murray is a good drop, IMO. He's only getting 10 to 15 touches and it sounds like DeAndre Washington is going to eat more into Murray's touches.

DeAndre got 8 touches and played a total of 11 snaps. He is a liability in pass-pro, so no matter what is said, he will not take the starting job away from Lat. However, the Raiders know that Washington (and Jalen Richard) need to be involved for explosive plays and to keep Lat. fresh. Lat. may not clear 20 touches in any game, but his floor seems to be where he is at currently 10-12.

the raiders need to get a clue, you pump up your RB, you upgrade your o-line, yet you dont give him the ball, you dont run, and your #1 wr isnt getting the targets

Banging my head against the wall that Cooper isn't used as he should be. Frustrating that his best week has gotten me 21 points week #1

Geezus, Deion gets on my nerves the second he starts talking.

In a 2-QB league (where you can ONLY carry 2 QB on your roster)....
Drew Brees is on his bye.
And Cam Newton has been ruled out.
Looks like I have my first loss coming in that league.

quite probably be looking at a loss just with Brees gone. silver lining. .good week for Cam to miss, you would've likely lost anyways?

Need some help setting my lineup in one of my standard leagues this weekend...

Pick 1 QB:
Rodgers (vNYG)
Rivers (@OAK)

Pick 1 RB:
Jerick McKinnon (vHOU)... Thinkin McKinnon has a good game this week.

Devonta Freeman (@DEN)... Tough matchup but with Coleman out he's an enticing play.

Matt Jones (@BAL)... Thinking last week's production was flukey. Much tougher matchup this week.

Pick 2 WRs:
DeAndre Hopkins (@MIN)... Analysts still call him a "must start" but I don't think so. Especially not against MIN. Osweiler hasn't been performing very well. Hopkins seems like an afterthought in that offense.

Kelvin Benjamin (vTB)... Primetime MNF against the Bucs. Benjamin has been pretty cold lately minus a garb time TD late last week. 3 catches for 39yds against ATL last week, and 0 catches against MIN the week before. Hard to trust anything about the CAR offense lately. Especially now with Derek Anderson probably starting at QB.

Marvin Jones (vPHI)... Hobbled and considered questionable (foot). They expect him to play though. Practiced fully yesterday. With Ebron out, he may get an increase in targets. Philly's D is good though, but the secondary is still the weakness. Can Stafford find enough time to exploit it?

Emmanuel Sanders (vATL)... Quietly making waves lately. He is getting the lion's share in targets lately and seems to be the QB favorite regardless of which QB plays. Siemien targetted him for double digits, and so did Lynch.

Pick 1 Flex from the above RB & WRs

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

And before anyone tries to tell me about my QB sitch... Yes I am shopping Rivers but so far no bites.

freeman or mckinnon

You think Hopkins is still a must start this week against Minnesota? Or is it just that you don't like Benjamin or Sanders as much?

Rivers @ QB (Packers aren't as scarry as they used to be on offense IMO.)
Freeman (Treff hit the nail on the head in another thread... DEN D is tough againast the pass... not so much against the run.)
Benji (especially with Cam out)
Flex would be Manny for me...

What's your other WR choice?

Tough call Face. I might just go Hopkins by default. (I mean, there's a reason you drafted a guy like Hopkins early.)

Yea but the last couple weeks have been a major disappointment. I keep thinkin the same though. I may have to start him.

Still weighing between Jones Jr & Benjamin though. Benjamin's usage has been really low the last couple weeks. Derek Anderson further clouds the situation.

True, but with Cam out as well as JStew, I see this as a passing game. On the other side of the ball, Dougernaut and Sims are both doubtful too.

Divisional contests are unpredictable. The CAR-TB game could very well be a passing contest.
Even tho I'm personally hoping Greg Olsen gets the lion's share of the passes....

Is this game affected by hurricane Matthew?

 

[Chef99]

I'm leaning more and more toward Treff's line of thinking with Devonta over McKinnon...the Asiata vulture threat of a score and possibly even touches is on my mind now. Devonta will have the volume and he's been playing like a guy determined to keep his starting job.

Still a tough matchup, but...now the doubt is in my mind.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'd add Hopkins to the mix. Get an equivalent WR. Or if you want to get crazy, throw Matt Jones in too. Never know until you ask.

Leaning on starting both. McKinnon and Freeman, 1 RB2 & 1 Flex.

Who would you put in for my WR's?
