WDIS Week 17. Championship (and 3rd place game) Week...

[femurov]

PPR. Bonus points for long TDs. 1/50 return yards.

Need 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and 1 flex

RB

KWIII @ NYJ - Locked in
Rhamondre vs MIA - Locked in, hoping for bounce back
Zeke @ TEN - Locked in if Pollard is out. Not sure if he is in.
JK Dob vs PIT - Probably on the outside looking in, but he has been solid since he returned, outside of the 2nd half last week.
AJ Dillon vs MIN - May consider if Aaron Jones is ruled out.

WR

Diggs @ CIN - Locked in.
Waddle @ NE - Probably should be locked in, but weather and QB questions
Kirk @ HOU - Last game vs Houston, he caught 1 ball. Bounce back or blowout and not needed?
Deebo @ Vegas - If he plays, he has a dream matchup. He could also be on a pitch count and mostly be used as a decoy.


DB... Need 2.

Jaquan Brisker @ DET
Justin Simmons @ KC
Marcus Jones vs MIA - Returns kicks. Could be a super wild card. Averaging over 15 ppg since he started taking offensive snaps. The other 2 are very solid and have good matchups, but this could be too juicy to pass up. Also could bite me in the ass a little and I shouldn't get too cute in the championship game.

 

[femurov]

PPR. Need 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex, 1 DEF


QB

D. Jones vs IND - Could be a big Barkley game. DJ could also have some runs, though.
M. White @ SEA - Pretty sure he plays and has been doing well. Should start, but maybe I think about dropping DJ for a backup who plays at 4pm or later in case there is a set back?

ww options - Dalton, Wentz, Baker, Deshaun Watson, Purdy, Darnold.

RB

Henry vs DAL - Game doesn't matter to Tennessee and everything I hear is that Henry will sit or be limited. I have other options, so I should probably sit him.
Jacobs vs SF - Locked in, I would guess. QB change makes me pause, but JJ should get a lot of check downs, right?
JK Dobbins vs PIT - Mentioned above that he has been solid since he came back, but wasn't used a lot in the 2nd half last week.
Foreman @ TB - Not much PPR value and is losing work to Hubbard, but still getting a lot of carries and is used on the goal line.
J. Cook @ CIN - Hot hand.

WR

AJ Brown vs NO - Had a decent game with Hurts out, but it was a shootout. Could be a lower scoring game with more rushing.
Juju vs DEN - Denver's defense was embarrassing last week. Could they bounce back and shut down the top offense for a new coach? Am I being a blind homer by thinking that?
G. Wilson @ SEA - The Seahawks have been really good against opposing WRs this year.
Pickens @ BAL - Very inconsistent, but Baltimore's secondary has not been good against opposing WRs this year.
M. Brown @ ATL - Probably not considering him with McSorely under center and my other options.

Defense

LA Chargers vs LA Rams
Jacksonville @ HOU
NY Giants vs IND
Minnesota @ GB

 

[femurov]

3rd place game. PPR. Need 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex, 1 DEF

RB

Henry vs DAL - Again, hearing he is not going to play much, if at all.
Etienne @ HOU - Has cooled off a little since his hot midseason stretch, but still decent and has a great matchup
Zeke @ TEN - Locked if Pollard sits.
Pollard @ TEN - Probably shouldn't consider, since he is banged up and shouldn't be needed much tonight if he does play.
Foreman @ TB - See above.
Dobbins vs PIT - See above.
Zack Moss @ NYG - Just picked him up in case, but probably won't consider. Although, he was the entire offense last week.

WR

DHop vs ATL - Trust him on a bounce back?
Pickens @ BAL - See above
Zay Jones @ HOU - Inconsistent, but the highs are pretty high. Also, lows are really low. Game script could take him out of the game by halftime, but Houston has been scrappy lately.
P. Campbell @ NYG - Could probably drop him if Foles starts
Jameson Williams vs CHI - Probably could drop him.

ww - Isaiah Hodgins, Richie James, Greg Dortch, Romeo Doubs, Mecole Hardman, the other usual suspects...

DEF

Minnesota @ GB
Jacksonville @ HOU
LA Rams @ LAC
Cleveland vs WAS

 

[femurov]

Sorry about throwing my whole team at you guys. But it is championship week and there are all kinds of rumors about who will play and how much. As always, thanks in advance.

 

[femurov]

All this Marcus Jones talk may be for naught. Looks like he is concussed.

KW & Zeke would be my RBs.
Even if Pollard does play (no reason too) he may not play much with a thigh injury. Cowboys should jump out to a lead fast with the titans playing the game like its a preseason game & benching a ton of starters to get healthy for next week. Letting Zeke eat.

Dont know how much you score with a long TD with this though seems to me Diggs & Waddle should be locks as WR.

I would play Jones if he plays, but he is in concussion protocol right now (currently in my line up) if you dont know. If he doesnt clear. well your decision is easy.

Put starters in bold
To me your RBs are clear. (Believe Henry is sitting this game out)
Your WRs are rough. Dont know if I could trust McSorley to get D-Hop the ball.
Typically I would say JAX defense vs. the Texans. Texans are great for defenses to play against. But with them saying they are starting Wentz.
Wentz is also great for Defenses to play against. he loves being sacked & fumbling.
So Jax 1.a & Clev. 1b.

I would use one of your RBs as a flex, but not pollard. If he plays I dont see him playing a lot.

Thanks. I saw somewhere that Colt McCoy may be playing. That would make me feel a lot better about DHop.

I don't like either of those QB options but the WW isn't much better. I guess DJ by default.

Jacobs. Dobbins, by default.

AJ Brown and Juju. Would debate G Wilson but with the Jets QB situation a more risky play

Jacksonville and Chargers have been playing great of late but I think the Giants is too good to pass. Indy is a mess

 

[Schmoopy1000]

this just in.
Pollard is sitting out of the game.

Etienne and Zeke.

DHop and Pickens by default. Not great options. Not trusting any WR on Oakland with Stidham except Adams imo.

Jacksonville. I think they have a good matchup.

oh yeah.
This is very true. Nick Foles is supposed to start again. you should expect tons of sacks. I missed that part. Change my answer to the Giants as well.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Superflex league (this is the league where they count incompletions as negative points)

QB - Dalton or Wentz - leaning Dalton even against Philly
RWT - Leaning Fant but he missed practice. Other options are Campbell, Juwan Johnson, Gallup, Hollins
QRWT - One of the above or Campbell, Gallup, Mack Hollins

WW options - Zack Moss, Hurst, Tonyan, Noah Brown, Tyler Conklin, Alec Pierce, Dortch (not much here)

Think Gallup plays if they are blowing them out in the 2nd half? I kind of like Zack Moss better than the rest, honestly. Foles was checking down a lot and Moss moved the ball well. Do you think Foles was rusty or is he just done? Do you think Ehlinger makes an appearance? Not sure. I don't know, man. Kinda rough. Mack Hollins, maybe? He may have had some reps in training camp with Stidham with the 2s? Is Hurst 100%? He probably has the safest floor, but it isn't very high.

Zay Jones plays in Jacksonville now. I guess that is who you meant talking about the Raiders WR.

I keep forgetting about that. With those options at WR I might pull the trigger on DHop and Zay

Yeah that's the thing...none are good options. Moss did ok last week but they bring him off the field on long 3rd downs and he doesn't get many reception opportunities. He was running the ball well though.

Maybe Dalton to Juwan Johnson can get me a couple good connections and a TD

Sorry about throwing my whole team at you guys. But it is championship week and there are all kinds of rumors about who will play and how much. As always, thanks in advance.

Good job having three of these.

You’re “locked in” would be my choices. That includes Waddle.
DB might as well go with Jones upside. Brisker vs Simmons is a tough call. Probably bench Simmons.
