oh thought initial report said 8 weeks

might go elijah then, the jets are horribad lol

Alright fam, help me set the lineup this week. I scraped by last week after disappointing performances for Harris, Ridley, and Robinson. Posted my current lineup/bench, but I'm open to suggestions.

QB - TLaw vs Denver
RB1 - CMC vs NO (no brainer)
RB2 - Najee Harris vs LV - Might consider benching for a week or two, but he's getting volume in both carries/catches, so I think it's worth giving him another week.
WR1 - Allen Robinson vs CIN - Shadowed most of last week by Ramsey and still gave 10, so I feel he's a must this week
WR2 - Ja'Marr Chase vs CHI - Looked good week 1, see if he can actually adjust and catch the fucking ball consistently
TE - Noah Fant vs JAX - All I got
Flex - Mike Williams vs DAL - Up in the air here, but he got a ton of targets last week and this should be a high scoring game.
D/ST NE @ NYJ
K - Daniel Carlson @ Pit

B - Calvin Ridley @ TB - Tough call to make, but I hate this matchup and I think this is the right choice. I know it probably seems insane to start Williams and Chase over him, but I've just got a bad feeling this week.
B - Robert Woods @ Ind - Disappointing week 1, feel I have better options
B - Darrel Henderson Jr @Ind - Seems like he'll be the featured back, but wanna give it another week to be sure
B - Chase Edmonds v Min - Splitting carries with Conner, I don't trust they'll both continue to produce
B - Joe Burrow @ Chi - Debating about dropping him or law for a better option, but Goff and Tyrod are about the only viable choices.
B - Tyler Conkin @ AZ - I need better TEs
B - #1 on waivers and picking up Elijah Mithcell to add some more depth. I'm going to try to trade-up for a more consistent TE if I can squeeze one out of someone.

IR - Michael Gallup

Henderson to the flex, ridley in for chase, leave in Harris. That’s like your 2nd 3rd and 5th/6th rounder? Bad weeks can happen but play these guys every week or trade them if not

Should probably note it's standard PPR scoring

Bad weeks happen, but you also have to play the matchup.

The Ridley decision was based on that, not because of his performance last week. I don't see ATL's line holding up against TB, and Ridley will likely be doubled. I'll probably end up throwing him back in, but I'm not confident at all about him.

Henderson could easily be splitting carries with Michel, which is why I opted for the WR over him last week/this week. Williams overachieved, but he had 12 freaking targets and he looked great on them. They're going against Dallas and it's going to be a high scoring game. If we're going based solely on who had a higher ADP, then Woods should be getting the nod before Henderson anyway.


e: I'm going to put Ridley in (I'm likely over thinking it), just deciding for who, but I don't see Henderson as the better option, just doesn't make sense.

Ridley will be back, and ATL will be getting their ass whooped no doubt, but that could lead to a big day in garbage hours of the game for Ridley. Cooper and Lamb both had some monster days at the same time on the Bucs so it can be done!

True that. To be fair, Dallas has a much better line, and they've got weapons up the ass, while Atlanta has literally only Ridley lol.

I'm going to put him in, since I feel you with the garbage time, I could 100% see him picking up a TD + 80 in garbage time alone.


E: Also, would you guys drop for a different QB, or roll with Burrow/Lawerence?

Avaiable options (listing in order by projection, even though I disagree heavily with some)

Big Ben, Teddy, Winston, Cousins, Carr, Tyrod, Jones, Goff, Dalton, Heinicke, Wentz, Jimmy G

I think my top choices would be
Goff vs GB after their performance last week
Heinicke vs NYG.
or Teddy vs Jax

But honestly, none of them seem much better than what I've got.

I would ride with Burrow/TLaw for a while probably, they’ll get better as the season goes on too I feel and both have a nice trio of wrs at their disposal. Only stopping to give pause to Jamies of the bunch, but probably still wouldn’t pull the trigger at the expense of the young guys just yet.

Try to trade Ridley

anyone like what they saw from Ty’son or with Bell and Freeman is he a lost cause?

Tyson is better then bell and freeman combined at this point
