Start or Sit: Week 5

[TREFF]

Gibson 'starting' doesn't really change much of anything.
It quite literally could only mean that he is on the field for the first snap, and everything else is business as usual.
It could also mean that maybe he gets 1, maybe 2 or 3, more touches than normal.

Both guys were used a ton, both will continue to be used a ton.

That being said, he's probably your best option of what I've seen being discussed

From NBC:

Shane Steichen said “It’ll be running back by committee” for the Colts’ Week 5 game against the Jaguars.

So should I go get mostert? It says if he plays he’s gonna split time time achne

Should I go with Akers?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

good news for Colt WR owners.
Looks like Flacco will be starting.

 

[TREFF]

Should I go with Akers?

I'd take Gibson over Akers. Pierce probably back, and the Texans will most likely have problems keeping up with the Bills

I can’t get Gibson he’s gone. Is Akers the best take now?

 

[averagejoe]

Me personally, Akers might split time but he goes up against a pourous Jags D. To me thats a better option than Tua-less Mostert vs NE.

He’s better then the colts rb Sherman?

Akers? Yes.
I have a feeling this game is gonna be a shootout. RB may see some screen targets. We know Flacco can sling it. And i think Trevor finds his rhythm (at least for this game).

Akers and the Texans play the Bills

No.

Sermon, ain't a great option, but facing the Jags, as just about the only option on the ground in Indy, he's a better bet than a committee approach of Texans backs v Bills D

Oops.
I really shouldnt do 2 things at once.


RBBC vs the Bills. Mmmmm.
I redact all of my comments.

Welp, here's one I never thought I'd be asking............
Flacco @ Jax
Or Darnold v NYJ?
Keeping in mind that with injuries I'm having to start Sermons and Downs. I'm seriously starting Flacco, Sermons and Downs as of now. Only other options are Dowdle Facing Pitt and Douglas Facing Den...............fuck bye weeks and fuck that guy that threw Mixon down on his ankle. That play has seriously screwed my season...........kinda.

I mean... both did pretty darned well last week?? Imho, not a bad problem to have. Darnold at home?? I might give him the slightest of edges?

I think Darnold is playing in London. Those games usually suck ass.............lol

In the last 10 games, the winning team has averaged 24.8 points. The losing team has averaged 16.0.

 

[TREFF]

Well shit..as if bye weeks starting wasn't bad enough, now we've also got European crap starting at the same time, great

Flex Half PPR

Achane vs NE
Robinson Jr vs Cle
Wandale Robinson vs Sea

Start of the week I was leaning Robinson Jr but he's dealing with a knee injury and is a game time decision. I'm a little worried that even if he plays, he might tweak it and be out rest of game or they limit his carries now that Ekeler cleared concussion protocol (McNichols looked good in spots too).

Wandle has been a solid WR, especially in half and PPR leagues. Nothing eye popping, but a nice solid floor. Nabors is out this week so he could see more targets but I guess you could also argue that Nabors was taking so much defensive attention, that was allowing Wandale's numbers.

I guess I'm leaning Achane right now but Miami's players are just dreadful without a real QB right now. I know NE gave up a bunch of yards to Jordan Mason last week, but that was to an actually functioning offense. That Miami/NE game could end up being a low scoring ugly affair and I feel like I might be praying for a goal line TD to salvage a day from Achane.

ESPN saying Robinson is "good to go" now instead of waiting until game time. Makes me feel like he's healthier than they thought so now I'm not so worried. Think it makes more sense to go with him now over the other two

It's betwixt Hunt and Worthy fer me, and since I'm starting him in 2 leagues I'll say Hunt. Just know that Steele and Perine are still in the mix. Good thing is if KC tries to pull any shenanigans you have the other to start since it's Monday Night.
