Well I am back to the question.
With Mahomes seemingly remembering he can throw TDs again.
Who to start. Mahomes vs. LV or Baker vs. Car.
Both have good match ups that Qbs do well against.
When looking at rankings. They seem to always be right next to each other this week. Zero help to me LOL

I am actually leaning towards Mahomes this week. but then I remember. I always choose wrong when I have to great choices :heh:

What are you guys thinking? BTW mahomes plays on Friday.

Bucs have been scoring a lot in the ground lately. Can't go wrong here, but I'll take Mahomes in a divisional matchup.

KC defense holding a weak Raiders offense down makes the choice risky. I could flip flop on a dime here. Still, I think you're good either way.

i dont know if i like either as BIG game guys this week... Baker is generally safer... so i would start Baker...

But if there are better options through waivers... then i may take one of those...

I think I'd go with Baker. His yardage has typically been higher than Mahomes so that could tip the scales now that Mahomes is throwing TDs as well. Also, for whatever reason, the Raiders get up for these Chiefs games so it might not be as much of a cakewalk match up as it looks. He could still have a good day, but with both guys being so close you're looking for anything to tilt the scales.

Pick 3 of these RBs in a half-PPR:

Achane vs GB
Kamara vs Rams
CMac vs Buf
Chase Brown vs Pit

Am I crazy thinking I should sit Cmac because initially, that's where my gut is leaning. He hasn't scored since coming back (combined yardage has been ok) and he (and the Niners) stunk with Purdy out so if Purdy is out again, I would probably sit him out more willingly but I still might do it even if Purdy plays. Achane keeps scoring TDs even if his yardage is up and down, Kamara has been good as long as Carr plays (stop vulturing TDs you bastard Taysom Hill!!!) and Brown has been on fire. Steelers have good defense but they are giving up fantasy pts to RBs

The mist starts kamara and Achane.

Chase brown is going to catch balls but don’t think he will get good rush yards.

but it’s tough to ever bench cmac.

Don't see Brown doing much on the Steel curtain.

Weird to type, but I think Baker is the safer play. I agree with others that there isn't a wrong answer.

That game in Buffalo is supposed to be crazy with like, a foot of snow. Not sure if that helps or hurts CMac. I think he is an easy sit if Purdy is out again.

I hate circumstantial bullshit, but here we are.

Need 2 WRs..

JSN @ NYJ
DK @ NYJ
Jacobi Meyers @ KC
Amari Cooper vs SF


So, DK is questionable and has missed the last 2 practices. Meyers plays on Friday, so I don't have the luxury of waiting to.see what is up with DK. Cooper plays Sunday night and I was thinking he's not the worst backup plan until I saw the weather forecast for that night. I am pretty much fighting for my playoff life and am on the outside looking in. I almost have to start JSN and Meyers, right?

kinda stressful now having two capable QBs LOL (I know sounds weird)
the last few weeks the QB on bench outscored the one in the game Grrrr.....

This week I am playing against J. Allen, so hope I get this one right.

Mayfield is the safer play in most scenarios this week imo.

I’m starting him over Allen. (Unless the wind has quit blowing by Sunday morning.)

I’ve been playing the Love vs Mayfield game most weeks since Love got healthy.

Totally get what you’re saying.

I am sitting Burrow this week in my keeper league (sitting in first at 9-3 and hold the points tiebreaker vs the other 9-3 team).

I am starting Russell Wilson over him in the Pitt-Cin head to head.

I wasn't second guessing this decision until now. Steelers are just so darn good with the whole 'not letting the other team score' kind of thing.

Talk to me...
