Admin Note: The mod team is working to keep these daily threads more on topic – NFL strategy talk for today’s games. Post referring to last weeks games will be moved to last week’s NFL thread. Any off topic posts or posts containing full lineups will be deleted..

I’m in the same boat. Stuck on who to put in flex between A Wilson, J Charles, Fowler, or Robinson.

Yeah, I’m sure it was Political discussions on this thread that caused you not to play Texans on Sunday, and not the fact that a Rookie qb was starting, away, and in Seattle, like the rest of us.

I call bullshit. Sorry.

Him and J Charles are top of the list. I think they are going to increase Charles’ work load soon.

Hard to not go fowler if sanders isn’t playing. One of the rbs for denver could go off but it’s anyone’s guess who.

on a 2 game slate, there should be no advice given out to anyone..its a dart throw to be unique as possible, if you can’t figure a 2 game slate you might should be trying another form of gambling…
take it from someone that sucks at it

Doesn’t matter if anyone believes me or not. There were two ways to think about this for me, either it was going to be a distraction for the team and they were going to stick it to owner by not trying very hard, or they play even harder as a result and gave it their all. Unfortunately I went with the former. Considering I went 100% russel ofc I had some texans to run it back in some of my lineups, but I was mind f’d after the news and removed all of them. I know it sounds ridiculous and I’m angry with myself but it is what it is. Moving forward I have to not put any weight into these kind of news and just trust myself with the choices I make based on performance.

I am tempted to go Booker just to be different and hope for the best, after all he did have more targets than Charles last week and one has to think the game script will favor the pass catching back

Sanders is confirmed not playing.

Wilson or Fowler.

If your lineup is in a good spot why not. Fowler will be pretty high owned, the backs not so much. Just temper your expectations mightily lol.

Yeah Fowler is the safe bet along maybe with Derby. I don’t see any particular Denver RB going off all alone.

One of the cheap chiefs wrs could be a nice pivot off of fowler.

I wish sanders was playing. Having doubts about D. Thomas now, he may get the double treatment again and post another 2fpts.

It’s possible they key in on him, but remember that last week he was being covered by one of the best corners in the league, whereas the Chiefs are wayyy worse against the pass than the chargers, so if he gets the same large number of expected targets he’s gonna be able to do more with them

Fowler or Forte in the Mon/Thur slate?

At 102.72 in the $50K First Down on DK. Have Derby, Hunt, Chiefs left. Where should I make changes to avoid playing Hunt. I’m sure he will be highly owned so even if he goes nuts it won’t help me move up much. Should I pivot to Kelce, Hill, Hunt, DT, Anderson?

I’m huge fan of Kelce tonight, as you beat the Broncos with TEs, so that would be my suggested pivot, and then I guess it depends what you have left for cash at that point

Yeah Kelce is a lock for me too. I should add since no one has been mentioning but the other week chandrick west vultured tds and stuff from hunt and they had similar pts. It’s too crazy for me but if hunt is stuffed (totally possible) vs denver maybe chandrick west would have as much pts or more. I don’t think I’m going that route myself lol.

DT is going to be chalky, he’s capable of a big game like dunzor said but I really like fowler. Derby should be low owned. CJA has burned me too many times already to use him, makes me dizzy trying to pick from that RBBC.

which will also be highly owned, maybe not as much as Hunt but with the TEs in the two game slate it wouldn’t surprise me, in fact the only people not playing Kelce would be people that play multiple L/Us that were trying to differentiate ..

Any takes on kicker and defense tonight for the Monday Thursday slate? Thinking of avoiding Chiefs defense and potentially Butker and a pivot down to Broncos and Hauschka. Any opinions or insight appreciated and good luck to everyone playing.

I think in a 2 game slate you have to eat chalk somewhere. I faded brown and that worked out, maybe it’s fine to fade bell too we don’t know yet. How likely is it that kelce, DT, hunt and hill are fadeable though? I think the key is too have as little chalk ownerships as possible but not completely.

For what it’s worth, I have the perfect lineup so far in the Sunday Night Spectacular.

IF

a. Demaryius Thomas scores 15 points
b. BOTH CJ Anderson and Kareem Hunt score more than 6.9 points
AND
c. AJ Derby scores more than 8 AND outscores Travis Kelce….

AND

Denver D outscores KC D….

AND

no other player has a breakout game tonight that has not already been outlined…

There is a 0% chance I do not share first place.

so I have a .00000000000000001% chance to win.

Those are basically the two options I think as i had the same choice, I think you either go Butker/Chiefs or Hauschka/Broncos, i would lean towards the chiefs unless you like the rest of the roster construction you get off of the savings. Personally I think tonight’s game is a defensive slugfest, but KC at least has a couple of decent weapons (including Kelce when the Broncos struggle agianst TE) and their QB is much more reliable than Semien, so I think you gotta go chalky with KC defense if you can

DT Should see the most volume with Sanders being out, Expect 10 to 12 passes his way with Fowler and Derby getting the rest.

Don’t think I’m in a good enough spot to place highly, but feeling pretty safe about minimum cashouts on 3 of my 4 lineups. Then again I said the same last week and not having ravens dst obliterated me lol.
