I’m sure CMAC has been on before

I played a lot of Gage last week and he had a solid week with 18.76 points without hitting the box (though he did throw for a TD 😂) at just 5-6% ownership across most GPPs at $4500

Tyler Eifert has seen at least 5 targets in 6 games this year. Jacksonville should be passing to catch-up all day. Cleveland concentrated on TEs quite a bit the other night.

It strikes me as a low owned thin play at a highly volatile position. For 2.9dk, I’ll have some shares.

So who are the two RB’s in play tomorrow? Jones and Davis?

Anyone considering Hurts in cash? Opens up a lot of salary. Only problem I can see is that Arizona defense is very experienced against a mobile QB.

Seattle also may get Carlos Dunlap back to help the pass rush – he missed last week at NYJ

RE: Seattle v LA

I think LA’s defense is a little better than New Orleans, and KC’s offense is wayyy better than Seattle’s.

Offense wins games in today’s NFL.

But anything can happen and if you think NO is that much better than KC, then stick with it.

Singletary

Need a thread for Sat. only so we don’t muddy this one up

Since you are a WFT fan what is your take on Cam sims? I like him this week. He gets a lot of snaps and I think he can pop one long TD.

(F/D)

I’d be surprised if those two aren’t running 70-80%+ pOWN% on the 2-game slate.

Beyond those two there really aren’t many playable options. Singletary/Moss worth a look but their timeshare roles have gotten muddled a bit over the last few weeks.

Denver RBs against a decent Buffalo RunD will be contrarian to that, especially as they’re both (MG3 + Lindsay) limited but no expectation that they won’t play. That being said, they’ll probably have the same or even higher pOWN% than the Buffalo RBs if they’re Q tags and chatter keep trending in the positive direction.

Beyond that? JWill for GB hasn’t produced but has gotten enough touches to be a gamble worth considering. If you think either of the DEN RBs are hurt worse than they say and/or if either of them sit – Royce Freeman hits the radar at near min price.

Running a flex RB on Saturday will definitely be a way to make a unique lineup.

Despite the matchups, Jones is probably my most likely fade. I’m just not a believer. This won’t be the first time he’s in a ‘smash’ spot and he hasn’t smashed much of anything this season overall. THAT being said – even with a pessimistic 10pt floor I’m not sure there are other options that can replace him. Can’t likely afford to fade him and Davis in CASH games, I’m guessing – though I’m a GPP-only guy for the most part.

I think if you’re going to take the flyer on Haskins, the right pairing would be with McKissic or Thomas. But with so many phenomenal RB matchups this weekend I can’t see myself using a spot for JD.

He’s kind of like a homeless man’s Sammy Watkins. He’s got good speed and runs intermediate and deep routes well. This isn’t a vertical offense though and he largely clears space for the short, intermediate stuff. He’s had a few nice games though and will get some targets for sure.

This is a low volume offense with Haskins at the helm. They will do the best they can to take the ball out of his hands.

Anyone have ownership %?

Bucs are now down a Tackle this week as Donovan Smith is out as a close contact of a family member. Sunday will only be his 2 missed game since 2015.

They have elevated Guard Ted Larsen from practice squad – he is capable of playing anywhere on the line so depth should be ok.

Anyone buying Miles Sanders this week?

Not a huge fan of the matchup, on paper, yet that zone read has a funny way of paying off for one-cut RBs.

I’m actually more concerned about the amount of practice time that Arizona D has against a similar offensive approach than I am their overall defense and/or game script.

May as well buy Drake too, especially if Edmonds is out.

“So who are the two RB’s in play tomorrow? Jones and Davis?“

These two in the same lineup do not correlate well at all. If Jones is doing well, who is more probable to be doing well on the other side? Not a RB, most likely. I think Jones/moss or Davis/Gordon or Moss.

So are you just plugging in Mosert in lieu of Wilson? Or is that to risky with the injury, possible snap limit, sharing the caries, etc.

I really want to play Aiyuk, but at 25% ownership. I just can’t.

What are we doing with Lenny Fournette this week?

That’s fair – but on a 2-game slate, correlation seems less relevant than floor/ceiling – there are plenty of scenarios that put Davis/Jones as the top 2 raw-scoring RBs tomorrow based on guaranteed volume/touches alone.

Need a little help please

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Brown, DJ Moore

Pick 2

I’ll play. Dj Moore ( in a game they will surely be playing from behind) and Jarvis ( because he will not be competing as much for targets as AB will) Also , AB’s targets dipped last week.

So, DJ and Jarvis.

@zovyn of coarse, anything can happen in gpp’s. For me though, I won’t be playing both in the same lu. I’m becoming a slave to game theory and it’s paying off.

Gotcha

This for Seasonal? IMO Moore > Landry/Brown – All 3 seem to have good individual coverage matchups on paper.

It’s always nice to have a MNF player for mental ‘cushion’ if you think it’s a toss-up between Landry/AB. Definitely think Moore is a clear #1 on that list. The optimizers I look at all have Landry ahead of AB for what that’s worth and everything would seem to suggest that Landry has a higher floor and ceiling. Lot of mouths to feed in TB and Cleveland shouldn’t be completely able to run the ball up and down the field on the Giants. So if they need a lot of 3rd down conversions, Landry is the guy.
