    12 team ppr. I am very light on RBs.
    I have saquon, Aaron Jones, Michael carter

    I have 9 wrs.
    Should I from Elijah Moore or rahndale more and pick up Justin Jackson or Tony Jones jr?
    Should I drop both and pick up or just one?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      It’s hard to say not knowing who all your WRs are, but I’d def add Jackson for Rondale. We’ll know what kind of action Jones is getting after Week 1.

    all drafts went nuclear heres my 16 teamer Full PPR

    QB: Mayfield
    RBs: A Jones, Gibson, Edwards, M Carter, and Bernard
    WRs: Lambs, Higgins, AB, Jeudy, Callaway, E. Moore
    TE: Everett
    D: Bucs
    K: Zeurlein

    question in another PPR league, would you drop Bernard to pick up M Carter as Carter was higher on the cheat sheet? Its PPR and my other RBs in that league are Jones, D Mont, Harris and Michel. Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Ani Sridhar

      Carter is the better back than Bernard.

  3. ↓ Post By rw-hdA0W4tMJ

    1/2 point ppr Jacobs, A Brown, Beckham or Gordon. need one in my flex

    1. ↓ Post By Ani Sridhar

      Josh Jacobs or Odell Beckham here for me. Edge to Jacobs.

      1. ↓ Post By Ani Sridhar

        Unless that’s AJ Brown, then definitely AJ Brown.

  4. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

    .5 PPR

    Would you drop will fuller or mike evans to pick up Tony Jones?

    1. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

      Mike williams**** not Mike Evans haha

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Hard to say without looking at your whole roster, but if you’re not deep at RB and flush at WR, I could add Jones for Williams.

  5. ↓ Post By apkelley47@gmail.com

    0.5 PPR

    Pick 2 RB, 2WR and Flex:

    RB: Zeke, Gibson, James Robinson, M. Carter
    Jefferson, Higgins, AB, Hardman, Sutton

    Currently Have:
    Zeke/Gibson
    Jefferson/Higgins
    J.Robinson

    Thoughts??

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I like what you have here. Sutton brings some TD upside, but I’m not sure how well he’ll produce with Teddy right away.

  6. ↓ Post By sdboor

    Tannehill
    Kamara JRobinson MSanders MDavis CEdmonds RMostert
    DHopkins KAllen JChase Antonio Brown JLandry

    PPR 10 team play 1QB 3WR 2RB 1 Flex 1TE

    Can I drop any of these players for TyWilliams-Balt?

  7. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    With the news on Gus and the likelihood of Murray being picked up by the Ravens, would you use the number 1 waiver wire pick on either him or Tyson Williams..

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      On Williams for sure.

  8. ↓ Post By Pablackbird

    As a Ravens fan, I’m sick. Had Gus and Williams and Lev Bell are gone. Looking in another direction (full ppr) Elijah Moore or Terence Marshall? At the rate the Ravens are going they may be checking in on Ray Rice soon

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’m personally thinking about starting Elijah Moore this week, I think they might unleash him.

  9. ↓ Post By D Ron

    12team ppr

    Wrs.
    Julio Jones, tee Higgins, Sutton, antonio brown, Elijah more, fuller, Marquez brown and mecole hardman.

    Should I drop someone and pick up
    Tony Jones jr or latavious Murray after the Gus edwards news

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      you can drop Hardman to pick up an RB, but do you really think BAL pkcks up LAtavius after already picking up Bell and then now Freeman? I think Latavius ends up somewhere tho, so he is a fine stash.

  10. ↓ Post By QbRbWrTe

    Need to drop someone in order to activate CD lamb. Would you rather drop Trey Lance or Mac Jones in a 2QB league? Already have Mahomes and Kyler. Have JTaylor, CEH, Ekeler, Mike Davis, and Swift at RB. Woods, Jamarr Chase, Aiyuk, and Sutton at WR. And Andrews and Goedert at TE. Appreciate it guys!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’m holding onto lance given your other options, you can truly wait for a guy to emerge. What a sick team my lord.

      1. ↓ Post By QbRbWrTe

        Appreciate it! That’s what my thinking was. Would you drop any of them to pick up Tyson Williams? Was thinking maybe Swift

  11. ↓ Post By Derrike

    6 pt td league. Do you trade kyler Murray to receive Lamar Jackson straight up

  12. ↓ Post By Chief58

    Best pick up? PPR. Bell, Freeman or Latavius?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Bell and Freeman have just looked SOOOOOOO washed and they seem to really like Ty’Son, so I guess I’d choose Latavius of those three. Bell and Freeman have legit looked bad and I have no idea why the Ravens signed Freeman over him. I wouldn’t drop anyone good for any of them at this time, tho

      1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

        If these two fuck my Ty’son shares I’ll give trashman a gift card to Walmart for some much needed new clothes.

      2. ↓ Post By pak3chris

        in an 8 team league as you RB8 would you rather have M Carter, L Bell or L Murray?

    Mooney, callaway, drake, singletary, sermon.

    Dropping any to go for tyson williams? 0.5ppr

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would drop Drake to pick him up absolutely.

  15. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    Got offered a trade from the Edward’s / dobbins owner (brutal I know)

    I would get Robert Woods
    For Melvin Gordon or aj Dillon

    My other hbs are : Eckler , Mixon , gio and roundtree
    Wrs: evans juedy robinson AB

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      How many WR and/or flex can you start?

  16. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

    Still have edwards on your sheet lol
    it’s week one you already being lazy ya dirtbag

  17. ↓ Post By Gman

    Need to drop one to pick up a Kicker–Lat Murray, Waddle, M Calloway or T Lance.

    My roster is as follows:

    QB- Hurts, T Lance
    RB- J Rob, Javante Williams, Mostart, M Gordon, T Sermon, Lat Murray
    WR- Tyreek, DK Metcalf, Cee Dee, Waddle, M Calloway
    TE- Hooper

    What do you think?

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Murray is the easy drop here.

  18. ↓ Post By Incognito

    Ty”son Williams Q — thinking about putting in a waiver claim FAAB — need a drop; I am thinking of dropping Rondale Moore — (other WRs are Hill, Lamb, Higgins, Callaway, Elijah Moore and Deebo). we can start 3 RB/3WR or 2 RB and 4 WR 1/2 PPR)
    What do you think? Rondale or one of the others?

    thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Incognito

      or with these RBs do I need to bother — A.Jones, Gibson, Damien Harris, Javonte williams, Dillon, Gainwell.

    2. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      I’d do that too.

    Good Morning,

    In the past, I’ve used Fantistics and Pro Football Guys. This year I switched to Roster Watch and loved the design and layout of the Cheat Sheet.

    I also love the Matchup Tool but am trying to understand how to use it relative to projected points. I play in two Yahoo 10 team Full Point PPR leagues. For example, Keenan Allen has a projection (right or wrong of 14.83 points), but the Matchup Tool has Washington’s D with a rating of red 27. Jerry Jeudy has a projection of 12.58 points against Blue 10.

    BTW, thanks to the awesome Cheat Sheet, I also have Devante Adams, Antonio Brown, Shenault, Kelce and Landry.

    Thank you for any advice you can provide and for a product that is by far the best!!!

    Mark

    1. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

      Matchup tool is too help your start decisions.
      Blue is good. Red is bad.
      Yes Allen has tougher matchup over Jeudy. I still start Allen over him in this case.
      Don’t listen to the trash can unless you’re desperate lol.

    Thanks! lol

    PPR: I have Miles Sanders as my Bellcow and really want to handcuff him prior to Sunday. I have the following WRs that I could drop to pick up Kenneth Gainwell: Mike Williams, Jarvis Landry, Elijah Moore, Mecole Hardman… My other WRs are Calvin Ridley and Stefon Diggs… My other RBs are Josh Jacobs, Darrell Henderson and Trey Sermon

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Moore would be the drop based on the offense he’s in.

  22. ↓ Post By pak3chris

    in an 8 team league, as you RB 8, would you rather have M Carter, L Bell or L Murray?

  23. ↓ Post By Andrew Seibert

    12 team ppr. Is Juwan Johnson or Adam Trautman the TE to have in NO? Thank you

  24. ↓ Post By Omar

    Why is ty’son Williams ranked so low?? I need to start either him or damien harris. Full ppr thanks.

  25. ↓ Post By Trashman

    It hadn’t been updated since the news. I’d still start Harris in a PPR.

  26. ↓ Post By Andrew Seibert

    PPR flex. Need two of Mike Davis, Diontae Johnson, Marquise Brown, Jerry Jeudy, Darrell Henderson, CEH. Thank you

  27. ↓ Post By bdenn2

    PPR
    Can I trust Barkley today? I have him, MSanders, MDavis, MCarter and JJackson.

    And, would you play any of those RBs at flex over Diggs, Julio, or Thielen?

    Thanks

  28. ↓ Post By Trashman

    I’d play Sanders over Barkley, and I’d start Davis over Julio

    1. ↓ Post By bdenn2

      Sorry, Trashman. I can play 2 RB and 2WR plus a flex. So, Sanders and Davis at RB and then I have Diggs, Thielen, Julio, and Elijah Moore as WRs. Thinking
      RB Sanders and Davis
      WR Diggs and Thielen
      Flex Barkley or Julio

      Thoughts?
