    SF or Dallas D/ST.

    SF by far the better unit and going against Jarrett Stidham, but Dallas against a resting Titans team running out Joshua Dobbs with no Derrick Henry is about as great of a matchup as you could ask for.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      they are both terrific options. My gut says Dallas, but maybe we get more dropbacks out of Stidham and that’s ultimately what we want. So, my gut says Dallas, my mind says SF. I wish I had a better answer, it’s a brutal decision.

        As a Cowboys fan through and through, I feel like I’d be more disappointed losing because I benched the Cowboys than losing because I benched the 49ers.

        Cowboys it is.

    Trashman, Dak tonight or Cousins full PPR? thanks

    Just to confirm, I should start Zeke tonight? I have Saquon and Etienne as other RBs. JJ, AJ, and Hopkins as WRs. Sounds like I should roll with Zeke over D Hop?

      Had Lamb tonight as well which gives me a nice start…

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Waller and Cousins, but Minshew isn’t far behind. I’m fine going with him if you’re wary of Cousins

    I’ve used Dak,Lamb&Maher (46pts) which is the good news. Opponent used Schultz (24pt) which isn’t good. I’m probably up against it and need an rb2, wr2 and flex from these 6: CWatson, BRob, Jeudy, Allgeier, Knight and London. Thanks for your help getting me this far guys and good luck to you.

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      BRob Watson Allgeier good luck playa!

      allgeier, b rob, watson

    Baltimore or Jacksonville for defense this weekend ? Championship match

      Ravens

  12. ↓ Post By Cysplash@gmail.com

    QB 2 if Minshew doesn’t play.

    Russ
    Teddy

    I’m thinking Russ might show up to prove it was a coaching issue. KC will score alot

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Russ been a trash can all year don’t do it!

    Wassup? Team name: DaPoohBears
    Championship week and I’m up 19-0 thanks to cowboys kicker and CeeDee. This is a STANDARD league and I got Raachad White from Tampa in my FLEX. Damien Harris is on my bench. Am I overthinking it? What if Rhamondre Stevenson doesn’t play? Would that warrant Harris to start in a STANDARD league over White? Thanks so much!

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Yes if that’s the case I’d roll Harris over White.

  14. ↓ Post By Cysplash@gmail.com

    Lockett
    Watson
    Toney
    Pickens
    Dorch

    0.5ppr
    Need 1

    Thanks guys

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Watson if he plays

  15. ↓ Post By Incognito

    Of these three, which two should I start. — mike Williams, DK Metcalf and Tyler allgeier
    Thanks.

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      I’d default to the matchup tool and sit DK. Touch choice Good luck!

      1. ↓ Post By Incognito

        Thanks — Trashman’s flex rankings would have me sit williams rather than metcalf. Can we get Alex to break the tie? thanks — mike Williams — DK Metcalf —- Tyler allgeier

        Happy New Year !

  16. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    If Stevenaon doesnt go who would you play. B Robinson or Damean Harris?
    Or even if Stevenson does play, now that Gibson is would you go with B Robinson?

    Thanks RW lets win this chip 🙂

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Yes I roll With BRob Good Luck playa.

  17. ↓ Post By R A

    I need the RW temp on D. Swift in dynasty. Such an odd RB and situation. I have this offer on the table. 12 team SF full PPR

    I give: Swift
    I get. 2023 1.07

    QB: Herbert, White, TB12, Love, Howell

    RB: Walker, Etienne, Swift, R. White, J. Cook, P. Strong

    WR: AJB, Pittman, London, G. Wilson, Burks, Dotson, Pierce

    TE: Dulcich, Bellinger, Otton, Woods

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      you can afford to take the hit, but i do think swift is a special player when healthy. you’re stacked across the board, and think it’s going to be hard to get someone with swift’s skill set. I’d personally stay put.

  18. ↓ Post By PatrickRS

    0.5 ppr need one: Aiyuk or Pacheco? They are close in the flex tool but I’m worried about SF not passing the ball much (esp outside of CMC) and limiting Aiyuk’s upside. Hasn’t done much with Purdy.

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      I’d roll Pacheco here playa. It’s close!

  19. ↓ Post By Tslate

    Hope you guys are ok feels like you went AWOL on us biggest week of the year!

      Fret not Jedi

    4 out of 6 leagues in the big game this week!
    Thanks to RW and The magical sheet plus the waiver help and of course the Tradecast!
    Let’s gets this done boys…

    Start 3? Jacobs Walker Pacheco Knight or Dillon. Really don’t want to start Jacobs lol.

    Purdy over minshew? Matchup tool has purdy higher but rankings say minshew ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Sit Evans for Watson? Damn Watson injury making it hard to trust him.

    Start 2? Walker Akers or Pacheo?

    Let’s fucking gooooo!

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      ha walker, jacobs and pacheco – minshew is more likely to lean on pass than purdy – no, too risky – walker and akers

  21. ↓ Post By pattyboo

    D jones or mike white ?

  22. ↓ Post By pattyboo

    Dotson or d Johnson for wr

  23. ↓ Post By Tslate

    Not fretting Frank. I have received great insight here over the years. I looked for advice on my situation above days ago with no response. I only ask because my championship is in a standard league so some of the flex calls are coin toss. Love the content here but as a paid subscriber I just wish the forums were monitored. Hoping to win my cash. 🙂

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      It’s hard with the holidays coinciding with then end of fantasy season and us having to switch gears to rookie content, but we’re still here. I answered you question above. good luck slate

      1. ↓ Post By Tslate

        Thank you sir, always appreciate the insight. Standard leagues are tough cause they are rare and rankings are not as prevalent. Thanks for the answer. Devonta AJ stack scares me soooo much with B Rob on the bench. Taysom Hill or Cole Kmet was the other part of initial question, Conklin on waivers also

  24. ↓ Post By danwinkley17@yahoo.com

    Pacheco or Gabe?

  25. ↓ Post By Raf

    (1PPR LEAGUE) DEF: Eagles or Patriots?

    1. ↓ Post By Raf

      (1PPR LEAGUE):
      R.Doubs, Chark , Meyers or Dotson?

  26. ↓ Post By HebrewHammer

    Happy New Year’s eve! PPR need 2 of these guys: Rhamondre Stevenson, Rachaad White, David Montgomery, JK Dobbins, Tyler Allgeier, or Chris Olave (if he’s playing).

    Chargers or Jaguars on DEF?

    (different league): Need an RB and a Flex: Jerick McKinnon, Rhamondre Stevenson, Christian Watson, Drake London, Tyler Allgeier. Part 2 is should I be starting any of these guys over Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs or Jaylen Waddle given their QB situations or am I way overthinking?

    Thanks!!!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Tyler A. and Rhomadre is the way to play it.

      Chargers vs Rams we like better (Jags could rest the DST late in the game)

      Allgeie and Stevenson are the ones you want there

      Waddle needs to be in your lineup. In Wek 6 with Teddy Waddle had a great game. The others ok to bench

      Good luck crush it1

  27. ↓ Post By Chad Kashow

    Need 3 of these 4 RB’s in a 1PPR please, Chubb Dobbins Walker Allgeier? Thank you! Happy New Year

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Bench dobbins. Tough call but thats how we would play it. Hope it works out! GL

  28. ↓ Post By Eaglesphil

    Happy New Years! And thank you for everything you guys do!

    Final flex question…assuming all are healthy and playing –

    1 PPR
    Pick 4
    DK Metcalf
    Drake London
    Hollywood Brown
    Jakobi Meyers
    George Pickens
    Christian Watson – questionable
    Chris Olave – questionable

    Right now I have Metcalf, London, Hollywood, and Meyers in.

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      HWB, London, DK Metcalf, and Watson (if healthy) good luck crush it brother!

  29. ↓ Post By Dazz

    Guys… I see rankings. I’m looking at my team with Chubb and Montgomery…PPR…not feeling it. Am I maniacal considering a Zonovan and Walker sub instead? Commanders stout and Fields/Herbert impacting Montgomery.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i don’t mind subbing Chubb, but Montgomery is in a prime spot and Herbert hasn’t been shown to impact him adversely.

  30. ↓ Post By ryanusc3

    Posted earlier in the week about my flex spot in PPR championship… between AJ Dillon, MBrown, Olave, Meyers, ZKnight and Dotson
    Was liking AJ Dillon’s floor, but would we go with HWB now with Nuk out?
    Thanks!

  31. ↓ Post By Trashman

    it’s not out of the question, but the guy throwing to Brown is suspect to say the least. I still like Dillon there

  32. ↓ Post By DJ

    Happy new year gents! Need 2 in PPR championship today: Dillon, Pacheco, JuJu, or Dortch??? Thanks for a great year!!

  34. ↓ Post By Eaglesphil

    With D. Hopkins out, do I now go Hollywood Brown or Mostert in flex? 0.5 PPR

  35. ↓ Post By KarinT

    Thank you, Trashman, for providing flex rankings every week. I was league champion and used your rankings consistently. No need to ask, “who do I start” other than questions about qbs if we use the tools. Thank you to all for providing an excellent product.
