Fantasy Football 2018 Football • Page 46

surprisingly ended up getting both Hines and Coutee in one league but had to drop my kicker (had Ficken) and D/ST (had Seahawks, not playing them this week against the Rams)

picked up CIN D/ST (dropped Peyton Barber) and now waiting out kicker until later in the week lol

 

Fuck. Do I start Brees vs WAS or Rivers vs OAK?

Both are at home and both could go the fuck off for 35 points. Saints / Boners will be a shootout, Oakland D is clearly awful if they allowed 42 to Cleveland despite Mayfield playing average.

This is why I wanted to trade one of those QB.

 

Redskins D is probably the most underrated D so I’d say Rivers

 

haha I feel ya. My wife has both Rivers/Brees and is in the same predicament. She would have won last week if she started Rivers over Brees. But hey, thats fantasy football for ya

 

First off, why the fuck would you draft both of them ? Lol. Draft a stud and a decent back up.

 

Pick 3 Running backs: Gurley, Aaron Jones, Freeman and Thompson

I'm leaning on the first three, but all the rankings I'm seeing online have Chris Thompson as a top 15 option this week. He's pretty boom or bust for me.

I could also flex in John Brown, Edelman or Boyd, but feel more comfortable going with a 3rd RB for flex. (NON PPR)

 

Gurley is in every week
I think Thompson should be in this week because that game should have a lot of points
probably would go Aaron Jones in the 3rd slot. Tough to trust Freeman until you know he will be getting a full workload

 

Would you play Jones/Thompson over Edelman, John Brown or Boyd for the flex?

Tough to know what you'll get from Edelman after being out four weeks (plus Brady has been shaky - albeit not many receiving options). Brown is on a hot streak that is destined to come to and end.

 

oh since its non PPR, I might not start Thompson then...hmmm

check out these rankings....these are what I use every week. They compile all the rankings from across the internet:
Week 5 FLEX Rankings, FLEX Cheat Sheets, FLEX Week 5 Fantasy Football Rankings

 

Rivers is one of the most consistent QB's in fantasy with pretty great upside.

Edit: I'm guessing this is sarcasm. lol

 

Oh yea, I check that site often. Thompson is still ranked much higher than all other options (even in standard leagues). As is Jones. Might be good to see how Freeman/Edelman react to coming back after being out. I just think Freeman will have more opportunities than Thompson.

 

For my Flex I’m trying to decide between Ridley and Kerryon.

I feel like you can’t not start Ridley against that Steelers defense.

 

I’m probably going to regret this, but I’ve decided to throw Hines in my flex over Lamar Miller.

My two starters are Hyde and Lynch. Hopefully, it goes well for me.

 

I would agree with you.

that isn't crazy, especially if TY Hilton is out tomorrow (and it sounds like he will be). Hines will likely see a lot of targets.

 

Interesting, okay. I just always worry about sitting Brees cause when the Saints offense is “on”, especially at home, he fucking explodes and throws 400 yards 5TD lol

But NYG also has a very underrated defense and Brees just scored 7 fantasy points against them.

 

I was worried Brees would get hurt or decline. Idk. I always do dumb shit in the lower / mid rounds of the draft. I should just trade those picks.

 

Ridley is a weekly must start right now. There’s no sign of defenses taking defenders off Julio to pay more attention to Ridley, and it doesn’t seem like very many teams are gonna have enough good players in the secondary to do that.

Kerryon would be a must start, but Matt Patricia just said he feels like 20 snaps is a good amount of work for him, and I want to rip his beard off his face

 

Should I grab Browns D or just stick with Eagles D this week?

 

No regrets. Millers a bum.

 

Considering the Browns are playing the red hot Ravens, I wouldn't touch them. I'd roll with the Eagles. Unless someone like the Titans or Panthers are sitting out there.

 

Tried to get Panthers on waivers but I missed out, none of the options left are favorable

 

Ahh that sucks. Browns D was good weeks 1-3 but got exposed last week. Ravens offense has been clicking so I'd be nervous about that. Philly D hasn't been great either so far this year and Minn is coming to town so that's a little nerve wrecking too. What other D's are on the wire?

 

I dropped him in my 10 team, deep benches league, mostly because I didn’t have anyone else really droppable and I wanted to get Hines and Cohen off waivers.

He did have a TON of targets though, so I’m keepinn an eye on him. I’m kinda sorta hoping he sits again this week so that he doesn’t blow up haha

 

What's your guys thoughts on Devonta Freeman rest of year?

 

Alright, I need two RBs and a flex spot in PPR...Gronk usually fills my flex spot but I’m assuming he’s either not playing or will be a decoy this week.

James Connor v. ATL
Aaron Jones @ DET
Dion Lewis @BUF
Lamar Miller v. DAL
Adrian Peterson @ NO
Chris Hogan vs. IND
Chris Carson vs. LAR
Nyheim Hines @ NE

The top 3 are who I’m leaning towards right now, but I do worry Dion Lewis gets little run in if the game script calls for grinding down the clock in BUF.
