Hey guys, 10 team PPR league. 8-3 and in the playoffs, playing for playoff Bye and season title.
RB: Ingram, McCoy, duke, Woodhead, Abdullah
WR: M. Thomas, DT, diggs, Corey Coleman.
TE: Doyle & Reed
I’m second on the Waiver wire tomorrow night, should I claim Perine? And maybe play him as a flex (other options being duke, wood, Coleman or Abdullah)? Is he worth the claim for my team, can he be a valuable asset going into the playoffs or should I keep my waiver priority for now? Also kupp is available as a pickup (dropped him last week for a Te). I guess right now is about preparing for a final push. Any player you would dump or replace? Feel solid but change can be good.
AT QB, Dak or Mariota? Wasn’t a question until now…not sure how to handle dak at this point…No Tyrone smith and Zeke = BAD. Got me -1.2 last week and nearly cost me the week. But can I trust Mariota??
Te: Doyle or Reed (if he plays). Doyle has been good this year, but reed if healthy playing the giants?? Would you start one as a flex over the above choices?
DST: I have Seattle and KC (been rotating). Do I start Seattle or try and pickup Philly? Not sure I want to waiver a DST …
Thanks!
I don't think you can trust Mariota on a week-to-week basis in general, but I do think you can trust him this week. Dak has a nice schedule until Week 16, but so does Mariota. If I'm picking between the two on your roster, I might pick Dak, but it's close enough that I'd rather carry both if possible and just use Mariota this week.
I think Perine will be more valuable than Abdullah, Duke, or Woodhead, in that order. I think with Kelley and Thompson completely done, Perine getting 20+ carries will make him a good option for you. I would definitely grab him.
I'd just use Doyle until I see Reed do it.
I think I'd keep rotating your defense. They match up pretty well to close out the season, and I wouldn't want to use Seattle this week. Much rather use KC vs. the Jets.
I like Perine but I'm not convinced he's the answer to win your league. They really don't have anyone else so that's the positive. He's going to get a workload and I think that potentially makes him a better option than some of your other backs. I think he's worth a grab for sure. But it really comes down to who you'd have to part with and if you're OK with it. I don't have much confidence in Coleman so I'd drop him but that throws off your balance and depth a bit.
As for your other questions, I'd go Mariota at QB. If Reed is healthy you have to play him but Doyle is a nice fall-back option so no worries there. I don't think I'd flex him because I think you have better options.
Seattle D worries me a bit with all their losses. They aren't the same D we've seen before so I would drop them for Eagles for sure.
i think the question for Perine is if he can be a league winner or will better players appear before the playoffs.
