Start or Sit: Week 7

[PhilSimms11]

Baker is a top 3 QB, depending on your settings, he's #1 or 2 in most of mine so far.

Who are you starting over him at this point?

I have Joe Burrow @ CLE and Baker Mayfield vs BAL (MNF).

I benched Burrow once (vs BAL) in which he went off for 5 TD passes. I lost by 6. DAMMIT.

Drake Maye against the jags in England

Or

CJ Stroud at Green Bay

PPR Money League

Got some tough choices. I decided Achane is a must start but maybe he isn’t

Pick One RB, One WR, One Flex
Mason vs KC
Chase Brown vs CLE
Bucky vs BAL
Michael Wilson vs LAC
Waddle vs IND
Tre Tucker vs LAR

Pick One RB, One WR, One Flex

Chase Brown vs CLE
Bucky vs BAL
Michael Wilson vs LAC
Waddle vs IND
Tre Tucker vs LAR

Mason, Brown, and Tucker if Jakobi Meyers is out (Wilson if Meyers plays)

Drawing some tough match ups RB wise with Mason and Bucky. Both facing really good defenses but I think you have to sit Bucky considering the match up and the committee factor.

Some words I thought I would never say.

I just made a trade (cleared today) Where I received Baker Mayfield for A. Gibson.

Who would you start this week. My league gets points for completions.
Baker Mayfield or Pat Mahomes!

I know standard thinking this is an easy choice.
but Mahomes hasnt done well for me really at all so far this season & Mayfield has been killing it.

Do I dare Bench Mahomes (coming off a bye) vs. SF for Mayfield vs. Bal. this week?

I know it sounds crazy, but......

Good God. Don't start Baker fucking Mayfield over Patrick Mahomes.

What are we even doing here folks? Y'all remember what Mahomes did to SF in the Super Bowl?

Hate to have to ask this 2 months into the season, but do you watch ball at all?

I think you're letting your love of TSwift cloud your judgement.

Let's remove the names, which QB are you starting?





I'm going to go with the guy that's stacking up top 5 QB finishes who's playing against a defense that stuffs the run and gets diced up by QBs

You play your studs.

Dudes who sit Patrick Mahomes in big games are exactly the type of players I want to go up against every single week.

Same dudes are sitting Tyreek Hill for Darnell Mooney this week. Just look at the stats right? Obvious call.

Mahomes hasnt been a fantasy stud for 2 seasons, so he doesn't actually qualify for the "start your studs" mentality.

Already made a mistake taking him around his ADP on draft day, gonna compound it by forcing him into your lineup when you have better options?

I'm not benching the QB1/2 overall for a QB that hasn't had a single top 12 fantasy finish in his last 10 games who also has his top RB and top WR on IR

You are going against Rule #56.

Don’t play big names players over guys that produce at a better rate.

You are judging Mahomes as a player, not a fantasy football player.

Right now Baker has 2 fantasy WR’s better than anyone on KC easily and he is the #1 fantasy QB. Mahomes is average and that is being nice

 

[Shanemansj13]

#23 rated QB is your “stud”

Darnell Mooney 1rec 11yds 2tar 1QB

Lol, alright guys.

Again, good luck with all this.

I love playing people who get cute with sitting league MVP level players. I've been that guy before. It doesn't work long term.

If Mahomes wins MVP this year. I will send a gift basket to your doorstep.

Like others have said, he lost 3 important weapons on the offense. You have to take that into consideration

Well, he stole a 1yd TD on the ground to make folks feel better about it. ...

Yep 33 yard run and then a 1 yd TD. All his points so far

 

[Shanemansj13]

He got me 12 points in D2. Worst game of the season but only by a 1 point so a little better than average. Not saying much

 

[Schmoopy1000]

you guys are still fighting about this?
He sucked for me (on my bench )
Dont know how Mayfield will do since he wont play til tomorrow, but it was already the right decision. If I played Mahomes I would have already lost. Now I have a fighting chance.
