Does Curtis Samuel have greater ceiling than Boyd but the same floor? I am going against a guy with Big Ben, JuJu, Keenan Allen, Zeke, McAffrey, Lamar Miller, Ian Thomas and the Bears' D. He was losing early on in the season in close games and made the playoffs with a 6-7 record after starting 2-7, and has been on a tear lately, winning 5 in a row to get to the fantasy semi-finals.

I started Justin Jackson against the worst run D in the Bengals last week and I am out of the playoffs. He might end up giving enough carries to Newsome or someone else to mess up the RBC. Right now, Gordon is questionable but they say the field conditions in KC are not the greatest and makes you wonder if the Chargers are going to chance it. We know KC is sitting Ware and playing Damien Williams. You have to wait till a game-time decision is made, that is the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teganslaw Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The Chargers added RB Treymaine Pope from practice squad to their roster, so it doesn't look good for Gordon.

I got 7 from Lutz and my opponent got about 20 from CMC and Ian Thomas totally. I won by about 12 plus points. I couldn't have bore another MNF playoff exit, would have been a long offseason. I couldn't believe it when the Panthers got a touchback. Sean Payton should have just run it with Mark Ingram and got the safe FG, and what was that player Lewis thinking?

Now, for the championship week at my work league, here is my line up: QBs: Trubisky at SF on the road, Prescott vs TB at home (dropped Winston) RBs: Lindsay at Oakland, D. Johnson vs Rams, Sony Michel vs Bills (yes, someone dropped him and I picked him up), Dalvin Cook at Detroit, James White vs Bills, Josh Adams at Dallas - do I play D.

Luck 4 president Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 After my lowest scoring week of the season I somehow made it to the championship. Who is the odd man out between Barkley, Elliot, Chubb, and Mixon? Chubb and mixon have the better matchups, and mixon has been getting tons of touches since AJ Green and Andy Dalton went to IR. Boyd just went to IR so they might rely on mixon even more. also for my WRs I have Thielen, Alshon, DJ Moore, Sutton, and I can pick up Mike Williams. Foles targeted Alshon a ton so should I go with him and Thielen? And this might seem crazy but should I start Mayfield over Goff? He’s got the better matchup and last time he played Cinci he put up 25 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both Mayfield and Chubb in the championship game, where I presume you have a tough opponent, you have to ask yourself, which will do better at their position? With the RB's you have, the smarter play is to sit Chubb, as the Bengals are almost equally bad at pass and run defense. Play Barkley, Elliott and Mixon at RB. At WR I 100% agree. play Theilen and Jeffrey. Theilen is very consistent, and Jeffrey is Foles favorite target. DJ Moore is hit or miss, and Sutton can't be the no1 receiver. He's just not good enough yet. I would start Mayfield over Goff and expose the Bengals through the passing game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Waylon Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 RB conundrum: standard scoring league, 1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 point TDs. I need two starters, we’re an archaic 2RB 3WR no flex league. I’m in the Championship game and I need to choose 2 RBs. The candidates: Melvin Gordon I am like 75% sure he will be my RB1 this week. But the doubt comes from the fact that the Ravens have been good defensively, and he’s coming back off of injury. If Kennan Allen is going to miss I think he’s an automatic start. But I do have some worry here. Saquon Barkley Barkley has, for the most part, been an asset all season. Last week's game was certainly an exception, but he faces us on the road this weekend. We hvent allowed a 100 yard rusher yet, and I don’t see that changing this week. Also, Darius Leonard with that chip on his shoulder has me forecasting an even tougher day for Barkley. Marlon Mack Seems like an automatic start right now. Kelley is back and Mack has had a big game every time Kelley anchors. The Giants D is also suspect. The problem here, however: Luck is my QB. Starting them both is going to sacrifice some points, and I’m already the underdog here. Gus Edwards This seems like a very lucrative start, but I think this is the week the lack of a QB in Baltimore (yeah, I said it.) finally catches up to them. I think the Chargers try to get out to a lead and force Jackson to the air keeping Edwards from doing much of anything. Jamaal Williams I picked up Williams on waivers. He’s the new starter in GB, and it even looked like Rodgers might get shut down there for a minute, but that’s not the case now. I’m not in love with the idea of starting a guy in the championship game based on one week of work. I’m really thinking of going with Gordon and Barkley. If I go with Mack I think I would have to make a change at QB, which would put Baker Mayfield starting for me. I think I have to double down on Luck though. He’s top 10 in scoring, and when it gets right down to it what do I trust to land me points? Luck or our run game? I’m really not honestly considering Edwards or Williams right now, but maybe someone can make a case from a vantage I am not seeing... So, who should be the two?

Lindsay got 4.4 in a standard league. The same is going to apply this week - gang up on Mixon and let Driskel beat you with no A.J.Green or Tyler Boyd who is dealing with a knee sprain and likely out. Sit Mixon, play the rest.

I’m really not honestly considering Edwards or Williams right now, but maybe someone can make a case from a vantage I am not seeing... So, who should be the two? Melvin Gordon because the Ravens are hard to pass on as well, he was almost active for the previous game and Damien Williams did score 2 TDs vs Ravens, so did Peyton Barber for crying out loud, so the Ravens can be run on by the goal line. Mike Evans did get 121 yards vs Ravens, and the Ravens are one of the lowest, believe it or not, bottom 3 or 4 in turnovers generated in the league this year. So, if you stay patient, you get production vs Ravens' D. Marlon Mack, because of what RBs have done to the Giants ever since they traded Snacks Harrison in the middle to the Lions thus bolstering the Lions' run D actually since the trade. Gus Edwards will have volume but at some point, the Chargers will score enough and figure things out, they are basically doing a defensive plan like defending the wish bone vs Lamar Jackson, I heard, since it is unlike any other offense they have seen so far this season. I am certain the Chargers' focus will be to get Lamar to several 3rd downs. So, I'd go with Melvin Gordon and Marlon Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teganslaw Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Daily fantasy: I'm through with Ben Roethlisberger. I had him on one of my lineups. He's playing Cincinnati at home, in what should have been a good match up. They need to win (and hope that Baltimore loses) , but they're behind the Bengals 10-0. Ben isn't doing anything. When I don't have him in a lineup, he goes off for 400 yards, but when I start him, he's awful. It's a dollar game, so it's not a big deal if I don't win. It's just so frustrating when a player is that inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
