    What’s up RW nation! Made it to playoffs and currently won regular season in first place!

    Leagues is 12 team full ppr

    I see the rankings have Devonta smith lower than dhop for .5ppr. Would you still say to play dhop over Devonta smith in full point and why?

    Current lineup
    Dak Prescott
    Amon ra st brown
    Devonta smith
    Rashad white
    Zeke Elliott
    Laporta
    Kyren Williams
    Christian mccaffrey

    I could swap dhop for smith

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      If you want to play Smith, it is fine, we are talking a 1.9 point difference in projection.

      Thanks again RW

    WE have Puka and Aiyuk back to back as WR14 and WR15 and separated by .2 points of projection. If you have a feeling one way or the other, go with it but the official rankings say Puka.

    Pacheco

    good morning RW!

    Need to pick 2 from this group — flowers, n brown, t boyd, or j reed. Trashman ranks Flowers and Brown over the other two — do you agree Alex and Cody? thanks

    Gentlemen! 3 of 3 leagues I am in the fantasy football semifinals, thanks to my boys at Roster Watch!

    Question for you . . . do I stick with Brock Purdy over Tua Tugavailoa this weekend? And does the fact that my opponent is starting BOTH Hill and Waddle against me have any impact on my decision? Maybe I go Purdy and simply hope that Mostert and Achane run the ball all day against the Cowboys.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Purd by a hair. Good luck!

  11. ↓ Post By Uncle Jesse

    PPR Flex: Brandon Jacobs/Zamir White (depending on who starts), Achane, Drake London, or Zay Flowers.

    Which D should i go with Broncos or Packers thanks RW

  18. ↓ Post By civilchaos75@gmail.com

    Tyler Actually Didn’t Make it 8-7 4th seed vs #1 0.5ppr 10 teamer

    Devonta random injury scares me despite logging a practice today and after my opponent missed on Kamara Thursday, I want to make sure I don’t take a 0 from an inactive. I have Garrett Wilson and Ty Chandler and starting Wilson while also running Breece out has me concerned banking² on the jets offense no matter how amazing the matchup is and Chandler has the best run D in the league.

    Is this paralysis by overanalysis or should I plug someone else in so there’s no sweat on my end?

    Thank you in advance

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      It is fine to diversify if you are spooked, but if I understand your Q right, I think you have things set optimally right now.

      1. ↓ Post By civilchaos75@gmail.com

        Yeah I was concerned about the questionable but apparently he’s gtg so I’ll keep rocking with them. Thanks

    Need 2 of these 3 QBs:
    Love
    Minshew
    Devito

    Also have R. Doubs as 3rd WR. Do I keep him or pickup D. Slayton? Should this decision be adjusted based on QBs selected above?

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Minshew Devito

      Can you pick up Dontayvion Wicks? If not then would prob roll Doubs over Slayton, but that’s rough stuff

  23. ↓ Post By Eaglesphil

    Thanks to your amazing work, I’m in the playoffs in all 3 leagues! You guys are the absolute best!!

    Need advice on QB this week…I’m a slight underdog in the matchup.
    0.5 PPR, 6 points/passing TD

    Do I go with T. Lawrence (looks like he cleared concussion protocol) or G. Smith?

    I also have C. Ridley, so can stack with Lawrence.

    Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Cody Carpentier

      I’m stacking Lawrence with Ridley
