    Please advise: You bright me to the finals – thank you!

    Julio Jones May be out or limited?
    I play 3 of JJones. THill. JuJu Smith Schuster. And Pettis. Others on Waiver include: SShepard and Ridley, As well as DHamilton, RFoster, Gallup
    Should I get another to choose from in case Julio a no go? Am I over reacting?

    Who to drop
    I have 2 defenses – Cleveland and Houston. Was going to wait until later in week to pick one to play. On Waiver is: Indy, Dallas and Miami
    Pick 1 of the 5 for this week for an empty roster spot to pick up a WR
    Or
    Alternatively. I play RBs Kamara, Mixon and MGordon. With DWilliams, GEdwards and GioBernard on my bench (But, Mixon listed as questionable, SWare practicing, and ? M Gordon status) but I can drop one of these guys for a roster spot – hate to do that
    Thank you

      Follow the rankings to answer these questions. There was an update last night and this morning. Another coming next 24 hr or so. See if SS, CR, DH, RF, or MG are ranked higher than any of the guys you have, ie Pettis

      Prob overreacting. Will be hard to sit JJ if he plays

      Good luck this week!

    Ppr joker 21-5 going for the ship brees or Trubisky

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Think you go with the rankings here. Check for updated b/t now and game time. Going to be hard to bench Brees. Don’t want to get to tricky here.

    In the championship by the skin of my teeth — .8 of a point. Crazy match-up to get there – my opponent has Goff and I have Gurley — 1/2 yard did the the trick and I love the video review of all scoring plays. Goff TD turned into Gurley gold. Thanks for all you help — love your draft sheets; best i have seen and I have been doing this since the days of the USA Today bible.

    I noticed that Keenan Allen is not in you rankings. Do you have info that he is out this weekend?
    thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Rankings are have been updated today, and will be updated again next 24 hr or so

      Thank you Crazy Horse! We are grateful for your support- and we congratulate you on a great season!

    QB: Mayfield or J.Alen?

    WR (.5 ppr, need 1): K. Allen, D. Baldwin, Golladay ?

    RB (Need 1): Fournette, Carson, or Ballage?

    Flex (.5 ppr, need 1): Baldwin, Ballage, or Golladay?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Bake Mayfield Baby! Time to get sick!

      Allen + and the more I think about it prob Baldwin- I’m going to have to adjust my rankings for that now

      Carson all the way. One of the toughest questions of the week is Fournette vs Ballage good thing you don’t have to make the decision

      Flex- Not sure if this is all the same league- but if we go according the decisions above that would leave Golladay, Fournette, Ballage here- of those I think you have to pick the right RB

      If it’s b/t the 3 options you lay out- I think it’s prob Baldwin

      1. ↓ Post By Sanchez

        Hey Byron. Thanks for the advice. YES, it’s all the same league. My WR would be Allen & Baldwin.
        My RBs, would be Chubb & Carson, which leaves me this Dilemma for FLEX: FOURNETTE or BALLAGE???

    This one is for the championship, for me and The Nation!

    RedAlert, 11-4, .5 ppr
    *odd scoring – 1 pt every 7 yds receiving, 1 pt every 30 yds passing*

    QB – K. Cousins or J. Allen
    *I also start S. Diggs if that makes a difference*

    TE – T. Burton or I. Thomas

    Thanks!

      Yessir!

      I’d play Cousins. I’m not inclined to gamble on rookie Josh Allen at NE for my fantasy championship marbles. And, I’m the original Josh Allen truther in the entire industry.

      Given the QB situation in CAR, I’d go with Burton!

    Loved the Podcast!! Based on your updated Rankings, I’m having a real hard time benching Rivers in the championship even though he is playing Baltimore. You have Trubisky ranked one spot ahead of Rivers. I think i’ll go with the QB that has the bigger upside. Would you say that would be Trubisky since he has the running capabilities?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I think you play the matchup and roll Trubisky. Good luck

    I have some decisions to make for my leagues Super Bowl.
    Dak or Baker
    Galladay, Robby Anderson, K Allen, S Shepard (need to pick 2)
    Jaylen Samuels or Mixon (not sure of Connors status but Mixon listed as Q)

    Some deep sleepers on the waiver — McGuire, Pettis, Humhries Patrick — like any?
    thanks

    What a championship buzzkill! Who are you starting if Juju can’t go? James Washington, Eli Rodgers, Foster, Westbrook, D.Hamilton, Patrick? Ppr
    (Can’t believe I’m writing this)

  9. ↓ Post By born2beast

    Hogan, Patterson are available for juju too. (Depressing)

  10. ↓ Post By Longlooper

    PPR: looking ahead if gurley is out. I have JOHN Kelly. With that being the late game, I can play jaylen samuels as my other RB and flex Doug Baldwin and oll with John Kelley in my flex. would it be Baldwin or Kelly in the flex if gurley is out ?

  11. ↓ Post By Longlooper

    Patriots or falcons D ?

  12. ↓ Post By dmiles60827@sbcglobal.net

    Should I go with fornette, d William’s, ware, or m davis in my flex

  13. ↓ Post By Moosetermind

    Rankings would suggest juju and tyreek over theilen this week, but Minnesota wrs have a plus matchup according to the matchup tool. I can start all 3 wr (one as a flex) but then I’d have to sit one of my 3 RBs (CMC, Chubb, mixon) what do you think is most optimal? (Starting Baker at QB if that affects the decision)

  14. ↓ Post By sdboor

    My opponent has Gurley. I wish to pick up JKelley to keep him away from my opponent

    I have 2 QB and can only play 1
    – I have Mayfield and JAllen
    Drop JAllen right now for JKelley
    Or
    Set on RB with Kamara. MGordon and Mixon
    Keeping GioBernard in case Mixon remains injured. I have DWilliams and GEdwards
    I can only play 3 RB
    Get rid of 1 of these for JKelley?

    Made it to the ship with a garbage qb situation. I need to pick one of these trash options. Winston, Jackson, Allen or Carr.

  16. ↓ Post By tcards19

    Thanks for helping me to the finals.

    .5 PPR
    Assuming Spencer Ware plays I need 1 Flex.
    Spencer Ware
    Robby Anderson
    Adrian Peterson
    Corey Davis

    Thanks!

    Have to start Jaylen Samuels over Engram (if Conner is healthy)?
