Depends on what the rest of your team looks like, but straight up replace a rb with an rb. Barbers projected better than Thompson. Thompson's guaranteed splitting carries, barbers not so long as Jones has fumble issues.

 

But i think he can be better than all 3. 

 

Between Watkins and Goodwin, I think goodwin gets the edge.

Also have on Howard as my backup te the rest are too good to drop lol

Sorry I meant OJ Howard my phone corrected it to on lol 

Ah my mistake. OJ Howard can be good but he splits with brate who steals TDs from him. Bucs also sit around 18th for strength of schedule, not an easy road for them. 

 

You could just stream your TE during your starters bye week.

Olsen should be your starter every week, then just stream his bye week. Stash Howard if you think one week he has a good matchup.

Yeah I will start Olsen just was thinking about dropping Howard for eifert but not now anyway lol

 

I should be alright this season if Mixon can break out and ajayi can have a little consistency I have a greatest set of WRs tho

Olson is questionable for tomorrow's game with Dallas (back problem), so  whoever has him might want to check on his status before game time. He's had issues before, so it might be worthwhile to go with a back up just in case. 

 

I think that Ajayi is a good one to own; the Eagles will eventually be getting their offense back. 

 

(I only do daily fantasy PPR, , so I don't have any leagues where I draft players.)

After the foot injury against Dallas should I presume Olsen to be out for the season?  I havn't heard anything but I have a wavier wire target in mind.  But the Panther's havn't said diddly about Olsen's injury.

Current line-up

 

QB: Luck

WR: Diggs, Landr

RB: M. Gordon, D. Cook

TE: K. Rudolph

Flex: J. Mixon

 

Bench

Qb: Roethlisberger

WR: D. Parker, C. Kupp, C. Davis

RB: D. Henry, P. Barber

TE: T. Eifert

 

Im actually thinking of benching Mixon and starting Kupp in his place. The matchup is bad for Mixon.

Do I drop Jamison Crowder for Chris Godwin in a 14 team league I am in?

 

My current WRs: Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Chris Hogan, Jamison Crowder

 

 

 

 

If you plan on flexing Godwin then maybe as his current production is dependent on Jackson being out. You know what crowder is, you could take the chance on Godwin having a standout sophomore year.

Gonna try to pick up jared cook or ebron if possible since Olsen is out 

 

I would plum for Cook if given the choice.  Ebron was not on the field that much but when he is he should get decent work, but Raiders have nothing at WR and so Cook could end up being Carr's #1 target.

Based on the weather, you may want to bench Luck and play Big Ben too, keep an eye on that.

 

I'd still play Mixon as a flex, due to the fact that he is a 3 down back and does not come off the field as much for Giovani to hog too much of the time share. By virtue of touches alone, it would be at worst a push with Kupp. TDs are unpredictable.

What about dropping Crowder for Dorsett or Geronimo Allison? They are available too.

Ooh that's a tough one. Dorsett produced and will continue to do so until Edelman returns, then its up in the air.  Allison has Rodgers an will produce, but most likely will be a roller coaster. 

 

Dorsett is probably going to be decent top solid the next three weeks, but Allison should be a matchup base for the season. Unless of course dorsett and Brady really get connected. 

 

Although I just read rodgers is day to day

I am thinking Dorsett because of where he has been lined up, in the slot a lot recently. Even when Edelman returns, I feel he would be productive because like a previous Kenny Britt signing, the signing of Corey Coleman will take time to pay any dividends. Ocho Cinco, Kenny Britt, they always try and unless you have a whole off season, playing WR for the Patriots is not easy to grasp. Dorsett will still have a leg up because of that, I feel, long term because he can play inside and outside. I am hoping I am right. :) 

 

Do you ever play 2 WRs from the same team? If I get Geronimo Allison, I already have Davante Adams. If I get Dorsett, I already have Chris Hogan. Thoughts??? If I go along those lines, Chris Godwin makes the most sense, doesn't it? :)

I don't think it's too crazy so long as the receivers produce. Godwin is technically 3rd in the pecking order for the Bucs. The patriots and packers both spread it around quite a bit and the packers can definitely sustain fantasy value for 3 WRs, so long as Rodgers is healthy.

I want to pick up TJ Yeldon, but don't know who to drop D. Henry or P. Barber. Any thoughts?

 

Sorry for the double quote, don't know what happened. Dumb mobile version.

Stand pat for now since the Titans always improve as the year goes on. If, after another game, neither Henry nor Barber get fully involved as expected, you can make the decision then.

Brandon Marshall is on waivers in my league, it is 0.5 pt. per reception. With Baldwin's injury and him playing opposite Baldwin most of the snaps, is he worth picking up? If yes, who do I drop?

 

The guys on my bench are:

 

Derrick Henry,

Ravens' D (thank goodness I benched them this week in this league, unlike another one)

Jared Goff

T.J. Yeldon

Geronimo Allison

Frank Gore

Chris Godwin

Yes, and whoever you think won't get picked up after a few weeks because baldwin will return.  Off the top if my head, Godwin.

I feel like I'm in a pickle here.  I have several players on Thursday games, and I don't like playing Thursday players period, even if they are a stud.  Here's my roster. Thursday players marked **

 

.5 PPR

 

QB: B. Roethlisberger @TB

RB: M. Gordon @LAR

RB: D. Cook vs Buf

WR: S. Diggs vs Buf

WR: J. Landry ** vs NYJ

TE: K. Rudolph vs Buf

Flex: B. Powell ** @Cle

 

Bench

QB: A. Luck @Phi

RB: J. Mixon (Out), A. Ekeler @LAR,

WR: D. Paerker (Q) vs Oak,

Q. Enunwa ** @Cle,

C. Kupp vs LAC,

C. Davis @Jax

 

I've got Landry as a starter and I want to flex Powell or Enunwa because I think they'll perform better, but taking into account Thursday games, I am always cautious and thinking of flexing Kupp as he is a solid possession receiver that plays well into that offense.  But even so, do I play Landry or Enunwa as my other WR, both on Thursday. Thanks.

Check Landry's injury status. I'd play Powell.

Jags and dolphins D available, drop Denver? Thinking miami as they have the easier schedule

 

 

Jags' D available??? I'd take them in a heartbeat. Of course, they are going against Blaine Gabbert who beat them as a Cardinal last year, now he is in the same division this year, very interesting!!!

 

I'd drop Barber over Henry because we have seen the Titans get better with time and their starting OL is not completely healthy now, that is a big factor. Barber has gotten plenty of touches, unlike Henry, and still has not produced.

I think I might go with kupp. I think he's got the better play here with that defense. The best CBs are going to be on the outside, leaving kupp alone and working posessions against linebackers. With the running game, i think he fills a good role in this game as they are going to work those possessions. 

 

The even split with crowell and browns holding kamara to 99 yards and no TDs has me backing off then for now, especially on a Thursday game.

Thursday nights favor the home team defense, typically, and I would agree after seeing the Ravens' D lay an egg while the Bengals' D romped over them.

    • Mini Camp starts today.   https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/indianapolis-colts-minicamp-things-watch-2024/679e348a28f40aa684fab50b#:~:text=The Colts' mandatory minicamp begins,present at all three practices.      
    • He won 't be a starter, but Carlies is going to get a lot of defensive snaps this year. The surprise starter- Bortolini at right guard. Mitchell will be starting, but that won 't be a surprise. Go Colts, this team is loaded!
    • The Colts have a long list of upcoming 2025 Free Agents:   Colts 2025 Free Agents: OC Ryan Kelly SS Julian Blackmon TE Mo Alie-Cox DT Taven Bryan RG Will Fries 8m SLB Ronnie Harrison 2.4m Edge Dayo Odeyingbo 6m WLB EJ Speed TE Kylen Granson 5m QB Joe Flacco TE Eric Tomlinson WR Ashton Dulin OC Danny Pinter Edge Genard Avery CB Dallis Flowers – RFA Round 1 tender 6.945m / Round 2 tender 4.978m CB Darrell Baker Jr. RFA LG Wesley French RFA QB Sam Ehlinger RB Trey Sermon RG Jack Anderson WR Juwann Winfree WR Tyrie Cleveland WR DJ Montgomery RFA MLB Segun Olubi ERFA 960k / worth 1.4m CB Chris Lammons LG Arlington Hambright RFA – cut RT Lewis Kidd ERFA 960k LB Grant Stuard – cut RB Tyler Goodson ERFA 960k LG Josh Sills RFA – cut LB/Edge Isaiah Land ERFA – 960k resign SLB Cameron McGrone ERFA – cut DB Trevor Denbow ERFA – 960k resign WR Ethan Fernea ERFA -960k? CB Marcel Dabo ERFA – 840k? WLB Austin Ajake ERFA – 840k? FS Kendell Brooks ERFA – 840k? SLB Liam Anderson ERFA – 840k? WR Zavier Scott ERFA – 840k? TE Jordan Murray ERFA – 840k? WR Michael Tutsie ERFA – 840k?   Of the above really like to see the Colts resign Ronnie Harrison, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kylen Granson, Dallis Flowers, and Segun Olubi.  In order to free up cap space it wouldn't shock me to see Braden Smith traded.  Not ideal but only way at this point in time to see freeing up available cap space.  Would love to add OC Connor Williams who is still a free agent but suffered an ACL injury late in 2023.  Before his injury Williams ranked as the 3rd best OL in 2023 in zone-heavy scheme.  Recoding a league best 92.4 run-blocking grade on zone concepts and equally impressive in pass protection allowing just six pressures on 280 pass sets.    No doubt the Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.   Mock Draft   Round 1 WLB Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) - As a true freshman led all LBs in Power 5 with a 91.0 pass-rush grade and second among all LBs in the country with 18 QB knockdowns (sacks/hits) and tied for second in the country with 4 *.  In 2023 as a true off-ball LB he struggled as a run defender but flashed in coverage, 81.1 coverage grade.  At the end of 2023 now recorded 27 TFLs and 13 sacks with 7 forced fumbles.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  In 2022 his 87.6 pass-rush grade by true freshman is 3rd best since the 2014 era, behind (Rueben Bain Jr-2023 and Myles Garrett-2014).  2022 PFF TOW 11 honors.  Like JOK, Perkins has a chance to win the Butkus Award.  Both JOK and Perkins have similar builds and ran a 4.42s-forty.  Do expect Perkins’ stats to dip if he does move to MLB and probably drop him to Round 2 grades much like Edgerrin Cooper in 2024 Draft Class.  Quick to drop into zone and covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 MIKE but some feel better suited as a WLB maximize range/speed.  Expecting Shaquille ‘Darius’ Leonard 2018-2021 vibes along with JOKs 2021-2023 production traits.  Both were drafted in Round 2 but should been first rounders.  Perkins replaces EJ Speed.   Round 2 Edge/RDE Elijah Alston (Miami) –Alston was an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.  In 2023 he had a 91.0 overall grade and 90.5 pass-rushing grade based on 235 pass rush snaped while at Marshal Alston also racked up 36 QB pressures, 5 sacks plus 24 defensive stops during this period.  By mid-November Alston was ranked 4th best (Marshawn Kneeland was #3) Edge behind #1 Latu whom the Colts selected in Round 1.   2023 College Football All-Sun Belt Team.  Looking forward to the Cal game and how he does against RB Jaydn Ott, RT Victor Stoffel, and LG Rush Reimer.  Duke’s new RT Micah Sahakian matchup is another one would like to see.  RB Quinton Cooley (Wake Forest) who transferred from Liberty and earned 2023 College Football All-CUSA Team is another key matchup.  Finally, TE/WR Oronde Gadsden II of Syracuse could test his coverage skills.  The Colts done well and am looking forward to seeing Paye/Latu tandem then creating another one with Odeyingbo and Alston.  Ebukam will be a FA after 2025 but could be cut/traded save cap space.  Close build to Ebukam and Leo with 2” taller than Avery with Avery an upcoming FA and no guarantee we can resign Odeyingbo with the minimal cap space currently projected.   Round 3 LT J.C. Davis (Illinois) - The New Mexico Lobos ran a zone-scheme concept 318 times in 2023 and Davis was on the field for 316 of those snaps where he helped the team earn a 91.5 rushing grade with 58 explosive runs.  Davis is well-rounded earning a 78.6 inside-zone run grade and a 78.4 outside-zone run grade.  See how well Davis does after transferring the Big 10 this season.  Overall, 82.4 run-blocking grade in 2023.  Comparison Illinois Isaiah Adams was drafted #71 by Arizona and was ranked 8th best zone OL in 2023 and Davis was 5th best.  In 2022 Davis earned a 66.8 overall PFF grade and in 2023 had an 87.1 pass-blocking grade.  If the Colts do trade/cap release Braden Smith than Davis is a high target to hopefully take early to replace him.   Round 4 TE Jalin Conyers (Texas Tech) - In 2022 Conyers forced 21 missed tackles which led all TEs in the country.  Plus, ranked 4th in receiving yards after contact (170).  As a redshirt freshman in 2021 had a 73.5 pass-blocking grade while playing at Arizona State.  Conyers can be elusive with the ball in his hands.  In his first season was used heavily as a run-blocker (2021) and excelled as a blocker ranking him 4th in the Pac-12.  Back in August 2023 Rick Spielman said he may be the best run-blocking TE in the class behind Cade Stover.  Considered a true Y TE efficient at run-blocking and can catch with run-after ability.  Spielman said last year would have had a Late Day 2 grade, while Ryan Wilson says Rounds 3-4.  Potential to be a red zone monster in the NFL if he continues to grow his game.  Last year Round 4 was where tight ends were drafted and expect the same again in 2025.  Replaces Mo Alie-Cox.   Round 5 Edge/RDE Anton Juncaj (Arkansas) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team while at Albany.  2022 PFF grade of 75.1.  2023 final defense grade of 91.3, run defense 87.4, pass rush 90.6 and 68.5 coverage grade and racked up 55 tackles (34 solo), 21.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 3 PD and forced 5 fumbles.  Key matchups against RB Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma St) the Reigning Doak Walker Award Winner from 2023 and projected first rounder LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas).   Round 6 Rover/SLB-SAF Justin Barron (Syracuse) - 2023 College Football All-ACC Team.  Defensive Captain. 6’4” 231 pounds had 0.5 sacks, 3 *, 1 FR, 1 INT, and 8 PDs in 2023 (81.4 PFF grade).  In 2022 had 64 tackles and 5 TFLs.  Reminds me of Jaylon Carlies whom the Colts just drafted in Round 5P151.  Key matchup versus Cal and RB Jayden Ott.  WR Eric Singleton Jr (Georgia Tech), WR Kevin Concepcion (NC State), WR-X Ricky White (UNLV), RB Desmond Reid, TE Justin Joly (UConn).  Solid in zone coverage.   Round 7 SS Mishael Powell Miami (FL) – Powell transferred from Washington.  In Week 8 he clocked 21.0 mph.  In 876 snaps in 2023 Powell played 477 in the slot, 165 in the box, and 122 at FS finishing with a strong 73.9 coverage and 69 defensive grades.   Potential UDFAs ·         QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) - 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors ·         R3-UDFA RT Jalen Travis (Iowa State) 6’7” 310 pounds - While at Princeton finished with an overall 80.7 PFF Grade and 9th best OT in D1 (89% pass blocking and 75% run blocking grades). – Much like OT Tyler McLellan (Campbell) signed with Chargers, project to UDFA in 2025.  See how he does at Iowa State against better competition as he graded slightly behind Kiran Amegadjie (Yale) who was drafted in Round 3 P11 by the Bears in 2024 NFL draft.  Listed as backup behind Tyler Miller. ·         LT Adam Karas (Air Force) -

    • FWIW:   Richardson, who was drafted weighing 244, admitted today on the Pat McAfee show that he played last year at 250 and now weighs 255 which is what he expects to weigh this season. 
    • Larry Allen, Hall of Fame OG/OT, passed today. He is arguably the greatest Offensive Linemen of all-time. He could play right or left Guard or Tackle. He won a SB with the Cowboys in 1995. He is also known for having the NFL bench press record, when he benched 700 pounds down to chest and up once. I am shocked this hasn't been bigger news around the league.    RIP big fella.
