I made it to the playoffs in all four of my leagues and lost the first round in two of them. I need lineup help with my other two leagues. What would you suggest? Team 1: QB - Matt Ryan vs. SF RB - Blount @DEN RB - Ryan Matthews @BAL WR - T.Y. Hilton @MIN WR - Mike Evans @DAL TE - Jordan Reed vs. CAR FLEX - Rishard Matthews @KC K - Justin Tucker vs. PHI D/ST - Texans vs. JAC Bench: Drew Brees @ARI Dion Lewis @DEN Eric Ebron @NYG Jeremy Maclin vs. TEN Todd Gurley @SEA Titans @KC Comments: Do I play Gurley instead of Ryan Matthews? I could also drop Dion Lewis and pickup McKinnon, Hillman, or Forsett. Is playing Matt Ryan over Drew Brees the right move too? Team 2: QB - Drew Brees @ARI RB - LeSean McCoy vs. CLE RB - Latavius Murry @SD WR - Jarvis Landry @NJY WR - Steffon Diggs vs. IND TE - Jimmy Graham vs. LAR FLEX - Sammy Watkins vs. CLE K - Matt Bryant vs. SF D/ST - Texans vs. JAC Bench: Devontae Booker @ARI DeSean Jackson vs. CAR Rishard Matthews @KC Julio Jones vs. SF Delanie Walker @KC Vikings vs. IND Comments: Alex Smith and Andy Dalton are available on waivers if Brees is a bad play this week. Should I play Jimmy Graham over Delanie Walker? I'm watching Julio's status to see if he plays or not so that's why he's not in. Here are some people on waivers that look interesting Waivers: Alex Smith Andy Dalton Kenneth Farrow Ty Montgomery Alshon Jeffery Thank you for your help. Let's get that W!
Team 1: QB - Matt Ryan vs. SF RB - Blount @DEN RB - Ryan Matthews @BAL - Play Jerick McKinnon WR - T.Y. Hilton @MIN WR - Mike Evans @DAL TE - Jordan Reed vs. CAR FLEX - Rishard Matthews @KC K - Justin Tucker vs. PHI D/ST - Texans vs. JAC Bench: Drew Brees @ARI Dion Lewis @DEN Eric Ebron @NYG Jeremy Maclin vs. TEN Todd Gurley @SEA Titans @KC Comments: Do I play Gurley instead of Ryan Matthews? I could also drop Dion Lewis and pickup McKinnon, Hillman, or Forsett. Is playing Matt Ryan over Drew Brees the right move too? yes Team 2: QB - Drew Brees @ARI - you got big balls, see notes below. RB - LeSean McCoy vs. CLE RB - Latavius Murry @SD WR - Jarvis Landry @NJY WR - Steffon Diggs vs. IND (you could make your case for DeSean Jackson here, but I like Diggs a lot this week, go with your GUT) TE - Jimmy Graham vs. LAR FLEX - Sammy Watkins vs. CLE K - Matt Bryant vs. SF D/ST - Texans vs. JAC Bench: Devontae Booker @ARI DeSean Jackson vs. CAR Rishard Matthews @KC Julio Jones vs. SF Delanie Walker @KC Vikings vs. IND Comments: Alex Smith and Andy Dalton are available on waivers if Brees is a bad play this week. I think Alex Smith is a solid option this week over Brees. I mean, look at what Brees has been doing. He needs Thomas to be 100%. Kaepernick is another play that could kill you or put up 25 points if you need higher upside than Smith. Should I play Jimmy Graham over Delanie Walker? Yes, Walker is in a tight spot this week. I'm not sure I trust Julio Jones this week because I think the Falcons know they can stomp the 49ers - agreed Waivers: Alex Smith Andy Dalton Kenneth Farrow - nice pick up - drop booker and stash Farrow just in case for week 16 Ty Montgomery Alshon Jeffery
Just a thought here. For Team 1 what do you think of Kenneth Farrow instead of Matthews or McKinnon? I know it's AP's first game back and they would probably want to ease him in but it's AP! Farrow may not be Gordon but it seems like he would get the full workload instead of splitting it with someone like McKinnon would do with AP and maybe Peterson takes off running that game, no pun intended
I'm interested in this answer as well, since I picked up Farrow in a few leagues too. How do you think he'll do, Kurt?
I think a lot of people are sleeping on Lewis this week, just a gut feeling, and Diggs over D-Jax? NO
or Landry for that matter, but I'm a Redskins homer, I'd rather have Cousins throwing to my guy than, Bradford or Moore, and with Luke maybe coming back, Cousins will be chunking the nut all over the place
I'd start Farrow and pray for some goal line opportunities because he's a big slow bastard. Now that I said that... AP will get five touches.. McKinnos will equal 18 points on the bench.
Alright looking at some things here and for Team 1 I have Rishard Matthews in my flex position. People on waivers - Thielen, Sanu, Marqise Lee, Malcom Mitchell. What are your thoughts? Keep Matthews in?
What did you end up doing? How did it all pan out? If you made it to the next level please post your team and opponents team before Thursday so we can get an early start talking about it.
