  1. Half point PPR
    1 TE and 2 flex from these…
    Kyle Pitts
    Brenton Strange
    Treyveon
    Charbonnet
    Sampson
    Tre Tucker
    Parker Washington

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Pitts
      Henderson
      Washington

      Best of Luck!

  2. Full Pt. PPR; Championship Defense!

    Played Josh Jacobs (1.3 pts), so I need to make up some ground if I can.

    WR1 and FLEX:

    Mike Evans, Michael Wilson, Drake London, Parker Washington, Tyrone Tracy, Jr.

    Note: RB1 Bijan Robinson, TE Kyle Pitts

    Opponent has Puca Nacua and Trey McBride.

    Thanks for all the help this year. Y’all are the reason I won last year!

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Evans and London

      Best of Luck!

  3. I made to the ship thanks in part to the cheat sheet of course. Drake maye has taken me there as my qb all year. Do I dare change it up for Brock purdy or Trevor Lawrence this week? I just worry about Mayes ceiling against the jets who aren’t gonna score. Happy holidays everyone.

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      We love drake, QB2 this week! Ride with whom gotcha there!

      Best of Luck!

  4. In a PPR, I have the Kittle quandary: should I pivot to Taysom or Tonges? Looking at DST, would you go Saints or Jags? Also, any concerns over Brissett due to the weather? I would have to go with Dart.

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      I’d hold out and if Kittle doesn’t play than deal with Tonges. I want Saints Defense

      No concerns with Brissett, weather in Cincy is better than Cleveland

      Best of Luck!

  5. Full PPR need one strange, hill, Mayer or bellinger

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Ride with some Taysom

      Best of Luck!

  6. Jameson and Coke Loser in the semi Finals.

    Just wanted to slide by and thank everybody for a great year. I hope everyone still in it gets their win today.

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      CRUSH it today, brother!

  7. Full point PPR, facing Derek Henry.

    Starting Stafford, Bijan, Michael Carter, JSN, McBride.

    Need 1 WR and 2 Flex:

    Devonta Smith, MHJ, Pittman, Breece, Waller, Chuba, Shaheed, Brian Robinson Jr, Parker Washington, Mumfield, Allegeir.

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Tough Start!

      Parker and Devonta, for me!

      Best of Luck!

      1. Thanks Cody! Need one more player:
        Breece, MHJ, Waller, Chuba, Shaheed, Brian Robinson Jr. Mumpfield, Allgeier. Can also pick up desperation plays Browns RB other than Sampson (if he doesn’t play), Theilen, Lockett

        1. …or Pittman

          1. Post By Cody Carpentier

            Pittman is the winner!

        2. Post By Cody Carpentier

          A diabolical idea would be to play Rocket Sanders, but I love it compared to this field!

          Of the options though, we lean MHJ.. and I don’t want to play him

          Best of Luck!

  8. Choosing WR’s has been an adventure all season, but still made it to the championship. Need 2 – A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Jaylen Waddle

    Thanks in advance

    1. 1 point-PPR

    2. Post By Cody Carpentier

      AJB and Waddle, good sir!

      Best of Luck!

  9. 0.5pt PPR. Final Flex Spot (have CMC/Cook/Jennings already in lineup)

    Dowdle
    Rhamondre
    Burden
    Pierce

    Henry is my TE and NE my DEF. Heavy on the Pats.

    1. Could pivot TE to Strange, Mayer or Hill if needed

      1. Post By Cody Carpentier

        totally okay with Henry!

    2. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Rhamondre brother! Enjoy this weekend!

      Best of Luck!

  10. Gm,
    Pitts or Henry…

    Need 1 ppr…Godwin, Tucker or Kupp

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Pitts

      Saints Defense

      GodWIN!!

      Best of Luck!

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Stafford is our QB1 this week!

      Best of Luck!

  11. Full PPR
    I’ve had this question before but now Henderson has been cleared
    Henderson, Swift, Bucky, Tracy need 2
    Also, Goedert or Juwan Johnson.
    Thanks RW let’s get the Chip..

    1. I forget Tonges I’f Little doesn’t play. My opponent is stacked with CMC and Purdy..

    2. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Henderson and Swift – unfortunate the bucky has been so empty in the passing game since his return..

      Bucky’s pass-catching chops Post-Injury.. 4 games (8 targs 5 catches).. 4 games prior (19 targs 19 catches)

      Juwan Johnson > Goedert

      Best of Luck! GET THIS THING DONE!

      1. Thank you, let’s doi this.

  12. Chasing an upside
    Playing against Drake Maye
    PPR WR 2&3 Diggs & Kyle Williams or Godwin
    Thanks for a Great Year

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Contrarion Upside (proj. NE blowout over NYJ)… Williams + Godwin

      Rankings based approach… Diggs + Godwin

      I love KW this week, brother! But it’s a stones on the table play

      Best of Luck!

  13. I don’t want to waste the Henry game, Ladd already screwed me. .5 PPR

    At WR: Tre Tucker, Egbuka, or Darius Slayton. Alec Pierce is also an option.
    At TE: Hit the Taysom Hill button or add either Brenton Strange or Juwan Johnson?

    1. At TE Tonges IS available, but if Kittle goes that would leave me with nobody, and the news on Kittle doesn’t seem definitive enough to safely go Tonges.

    2. also forgot I have Marvin Harrison Jr as an option, but frankly, I don’t trust him and all reports are a limited snap count, and he barely is good when having a full snap count.

    3. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Give me Taysom over Strange and Johnson

      Alex Pierece of those WR options

      Best of Luck!

  14. Which Te…Strange,Warren or Tonges(if Kittle out) Can pivot to Parkinson

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Strange for me!

      Best of Luck!

  15. Which D … Saints or Rams?

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Saints Defense!

  16. Which two WRs do I start — London, Wilson, Jennings, or McMillan?

    2 for upside?
    2 for the best floor ?

    Thanks

    1. .5 PPR

      1. I go London and Jennings, best of luck.

    2. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Upside: London + Jennings

      Floor: Jennings + McMillan

      Best of Luck!

      Carter over Sampson – tbh, If Raheim “Rocket” Sanders is available, I prefer him

      Best of Luck!

  26. We finally it to Championship Week! Early games did me zero favors, but still going for two repeats!

    Need 2 PPR Flex: BTJ, Devonta Smith, Parker Washington or Luther Burden.

    One PPR Flex: D’Andre Swift, Tetairoa McMillan, Michael Wilson, or Dylan Sampson (Sanders has thrown a lot to his RB).

    Also Juwan Johnson or Strange at TE?

    Appreciate all the work in season fellas. Can’t wait for prospect and draft content!

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      The Time is NOW!

      Washington n’ Burden!

      Swift

      Strange by a notch over JJ

      Best of Luck on the Repeats!

      Best of Luck!

  29. T McMillan, Kyle Williams…ppr

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      McMillan for this one! Floor is too solid!

      Best of Luck, TJ

  30. 1 point ppr, Carter or Sampson?

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Can you add Rocket Sanders?

      We like Carter of Carter/Sampson

      best of luck!

  31. Full point PPR.
    Starting WR Tet McMillan or Wan’dale robinson
    Starting RB Etienne or treveyon.
    Which non starter would you flex.

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Tetairoa, ETN and Tre

      Best of luck, man!

  32. Hi Guys! Made the championship thanks to your help. Thank you!

    TreVeyon Henderson or Michael Carter?

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Congrats, brother! Give me Henderson

  33. I need upside Cody! Down after Thursday and Saturday games (Derrick Henry stomped on me last night).

    1-point PPR . .

    – Colston Loveland, Brenton Strange, or Taysom Hill?
    – Chris Olave, Tetairoa McMillan, Michael Wilson, or Marvin Harrison, Jr.?

    Thank you to all the boys from Roster Watch for being there for us!!

    1. I’d go with Strange, Olave and Tet, best of luck this week

      1. Post By Cody Carpentier

        I second this, think there is a little more upside in Taysom than Strange, though

        Crush it, brother!

  34. What’s up guys. Hurts or Brisset and 1/2 pt ppr Michael Carter or Jakobi Meyers. Thanks fellas

    1. Or I could go Luther Burden

      1. Post By Cody Carpentier

        OOOHH!! Give me Burden!

    2. Post By Cody Carpentier

      back to back in the ranks this week, Hurts has the 8th toughest matchup and Brissett the 2nd easiest on the RW matchup tool – lean Jacoby

      Trashman says Carter > Meyers in FLEX ranks, I like it

    1. Post By Cody Carpentier

      Shough your way to a title, Gerry!

      We appreciate you

  35. Full PPR and Tight End Premium Pick 1 TE and 1 Flex: Colby Parkinson, Marvin Harrison, DeMario Douglas, Jalen Coker, Kyle Williams, Konata Mumpfield, and Taysom Hill

    We are a Nation-

    1. I think I would go Parkinson and Marv, but as Cody said above, Taysom is a higher upside play, but very volatile.

  36. Thanks for your help!
    Have a Great New Year!
