Hey Gents, I'm looking ahead and have to choose between a few options and would love advise from both of you. My Rb's are Hunt, Kamara, Mixon, Elliot/Morris, Collins, and J Williams.
I see Abdullah on the wire and like his increased touches, finally. Would you drop any of my rbs to scoop him up? Please consider weeks 15 and 16 match-ups, plus recent usage. I feel Collins has a lot of talent plus and easy schedule coming up. The only downside is he gets limited touches with allen and woodhead, down the stretch.
I hope to play Elliot week 15, if he's back. I'm holding Morris and not really confident about it, he's getting old.
Should I handcuff Hunt and pick up C. West? If so, who do I let go?
What do I do with Mixon? Hold him? His team limits his ability, I think.
Thanks a bunch and interested in what you guys think!
I think the Abdullah/Morris/Rodgers moves sound fine to me. I really think Dallas is going to be kind of a committee and I'm not confident Morris is going to get the same type of touches that Zeke did.
I like Goff better than all those other options this week. I'm not opposed to streaming someone this week, but I just don't see anyone I like more than Goff. I'm intrigued by Bortles this week, but mainly just as a player to consider if you don't have someone reliable. With how good Goff has been, I think I prefer him in a bad matchup over any of your other options.
I like Collins better than Williams ROS, but Williams is definitely better this week as the last man standing in Green Bay.
I'm not sure about the TE situation. I think Rudolph is probably usually going to be ranked pretty high, so it might make sense. He does remain a pretty big part of the offense.
I think you have the depth to get away with that. I'll be hoping we see Rodgers return for you!
I think your team is deep enough that you can stash Elliott for the last week of the season. I think that he'll be worth using then.
I don't have a lot of faith in West being a solid option if Hunt goes down, so I'd probably be looking at Abdullah of the guys you mentioned. I might grab Abdullah over Williams, as I don't think he'll be very good and I don't think he'll keep the job long term.
I like streaming Goff for the ROS. I don't hate picking up a streamer this week, but I doubt there's much available. I don't like Bortles better than Goff, and Bortles is my number one streamer off waivers this week.
I think I'd hold on to Mixon, unless you can work a trade, but you're so thick across the board, I don't think you need to. Maybe you could see if someone is flush at QB, and cash in your RB depth by moving Mixon for a QB. I wouldn't push it though.
I love the Jags closing season schedule, so I wouldn't worry about holding them at D. While I love Tucker, I tend to side with kickers in explosive offenses, so I'd stick with Elliott.
Good luck!
Thanks for following up, Brandon. I've made the moves now it's time to swallow up my competition.
One last thing, I read on another question, how NY vs KC game will have 20-40 mph winds! I am planning to start Hill, Hunt, and Shepard in this game. Would this weather stop you from starting any of those 3? I kind need a win, lol. Thanks!
Sorry let me rephrase my last message....
I dropped Collins for Abdullah, before I heard from you. I didn't want to let him get away. Then I dropped Alf for Rodgers. I just don't have faith in Morris, I saw his demise in Washington and it's still pretty fresh in my mind, lol. Back to Collins, do you value him higher then J Williams? What are your thoughts on Morris, ROS, not this week?
Off subject a little, I don't know if I have my settings wrong (Full Impact Custom Rankings) but Rudolph is constantly ranked in my custom top five TE, every week?! Did I enter something wrong for this to be happening, week after week, or is based on his targets? He's been hard to trust for me...I may try to snag B Watson for ROS streaming option...he's starting to make a run w/ a good schedule.
BTW our league is a 10 team/.5PPR. 6pt QB TD's. I'm nervous about Goff, options this week on waivers are; Keenum, Rivers, Manning Bortles, Cutler. I know you said earlier you don't mind Goff ROS, and it doesn't you like him this week, either? If this was your team, what would you do? I'm chasing the most points plus a win.
Cheers, thanks for your advise man!
Thanks for the great information. I dropped Alf and picked up Aaron Rodgers for weeks 15 & 16.
Actually, sorry, it's week 16 I'd be holding Zeke for, which is our Superbowl. Not week 15.
News just broke, Zeke won't appeal 6 game suspension. Am I holding him for the Superbowl in my league, which is week 15 vs Seahawks, considering my team.
BTW, here's the rest of my team.
QB - Currently streaming Goff, should I worry about him against Min this week?
WR - Brown, Hill, Anderson, & Shepherd
K - Elliot - Should I keep him or grab Tucker for rest of the season?
D - Jax - Are they match-up proof? should I worry about any upcoming match-ups?
Thanks!
