DFS/Props Week 9 Discussion

ScopeY

Pretty much a regular
"For those that don't remember, I'll try to get down general matchup information from a dfs/prop perspective as best as I can, but please jump in whether it is to add input, correct a mistake of mine, or if something is unclear. I'm sure all 3 are going to happen.

When reading the summaries I'll typically use great, good, meh, bad, those 4 terms are sectioned between ranked 32nd-25th, 24th-17th, 16th-9th, 8th-1st. Ie. Ekeler has a great RB matchup, because the opposing defense is ranked somewhere between 25th-32nd in DVOA vs the run (something like that).

Edit: I do sort pressure rate/asr, as well as line play/aly in top 1-5,6-10, and 23-27, 28-32, so you may see me say Great/Good, and Meh/Bad, 11-22 are not stated. My ranges (which may adjust) for Great/Good/Ignore/Meh/Bad TT's and O/U's will be this.
>24.5 >50
>23 >46.5
20-23 43-46.
<20 <43
<17 <40"

I am kicking myself for not taking the layup option in McBride, I genuinely thought he would go much higher owned that 16%~, it would have opened a ton of salary options. I was heavily invested in NOS/IND, and PHI/WAS which seemed great, I just didn't have shaheed --- mentioned in last weeks thread how butt hurt I was not going any Levis, and having just 1 Hopkins.... never would have played gus bus (and still probably won't), but he was almost a most. Kamara/Hall were obvious/high owned --- again, right ideas most places actually, slightly wrong pieces of those places though.

As you can see from this, week 8/season numbers;

- WRs were used 60% of the time in the FLEX position, 30% RB, 10% TE --- season total is now 74%/19%/8%, WR/RB/TE.
- RB + Def stack were 20% of the time. --- season total is now 18% of the time.
- At least a QB Team Stack was used 90% of the time --- season total is now 96% of the time.
- QB Game stack was used 30% of the time. --- season total is now 45% of the time.
- QB + WR + RB Stack was never used. --- season total is now 11% of the time.
- DEF was paid up for three times, mid 0%, punted 70%. --- season total is now 20%/34%/46%, high/mid/low pricing on the season.

The cut/cash line for this weeks tourney was just 148.44 --- (Wk2 138.30, Wk3 165.18, Wk4 145.84, Wk5 155.38, Wk6 143, Wk7 133.8),

My top was just 159.96. It had a big game stack with 3 PHI + 2 WAS, as well as the low owned/punt CIN players (Mixon + Bengals D)... the downfall was it was one of 2 lineups where I took a stab with Sanders, and both were paired with the very popular failure of collins, a HOU bringback.... If I found a way to go to demarcado (which I did in some lineups), this could have been much better.

TEN/PIT


Titans have a meh P/RB matchup.
Steelers have a great P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Levis has a bad pressure rate matchup, and a meh pass potential. Henry has a good run potential.
Pickett has a bad pressure rate matchup. Najee has a bad run potential.
Pace of play is 13th (meh).

- Injuries - TEN - On D, DT/CB Simmons (89%)/McCreary (89%) are both Q. On O, WR Hopkins/RB Henry/TE Whyle/T Hubbard are all Q. QB Tanny is Q too, but doubt he plays.
- PIT - On D, S Fitzpatrick (100%) is out, CB Wallace (91%) is Q. But DT Heyward may be returning. On O, QB Pickett is Q, TE Freiermuth obvi on IR.

Assuming Levis is going to be the starter --- even if Vrabel mentions both will see snaps (semi joking) like last week, Willis only saw 2 snaps, don't be scared. What is great about Levis and this offense? He had 29 pass attempts in a negative to neutral passing script ---- tannehill achieved 29 or more in just 2 of 6 games ,both were in positive to neutral passing scripts. His total air yards was 341 (tanny averaged 245), and his aDOT was 11.76 (tanny was 9.31). I'm going to talk about last weeks numbers, but know the aDOTs were out of sorts/can't fully repeat. Last week Hopkins/Burks/Westbrook ALL had aDOTs over 22 --- Hopkins led in target share at 22%, while Burks/Westbrook were at 7.5%, which were below Philips, who may be the WR5 as he played even less than Moore. --- I know that's a lot to follow, but last weeks snaps were whacky, as all 5 WRs saw time, and ranged from 26% to 63%. Hopkins is obviously a priority --- Ikhine/Burks is a semi crapshoot, as they both played 50%, both are priced practically the same and are relatively cheap, but if we are looking to punt even further, we have Philips/Moore at 800/400$ priced, Philips had 3 targets with Levis, but saw his snaps drop with the return of burks (from 49% pre-bye to 26% last week), Moore had 0 targets, but actually saw his snaos rise with the return of burks (36% pre-bye to 41% last week). My gut says Ikhine>Burks, and Moore>Philips, but I have no issues if you either go the other direction, play both ikhine/burks, or avoid both moore/philips, as it looks like there is a handful of cheaper side options to where maybe we don't need to punt. Chig saw a nice uptick of target share compared to his yearly numbers, as he had a 22% target share, where his prior 6 games it was 16%, he also has a decent aDOT of 6.69, his season numbes look pretty bad, but at 4.2K, and hopefully most eyes trying to decide which WR they want, I actually like him quite a bit. Henry had 26 opps last week, 4 targets and played his 2nd most % of snaps on the year, 65%... those are really great numbers, and maybe a sign of things to come, especially if this offense is more open/actually a deep, downfield threat. He is nursing an ankle injury, and monitor if DT Heyward is returning. Either way the guy is a workhorse, and should be in your player pool. Spears still played 40%~ of snaps, and had 7opps (4 targets), which are ok/safe numbers, but if Henry is playing, I am 100% off of him, as he is priced higher than Chig/Burks/Ikhine, who arguably have higher target upside, with deeper aDOTs.

Wtf do we do with Najee/Warren, they are in a 54%~/46%~ split, last week in a negative run script, Najee had 12 opps (5 targets), Warren had 10 opps (5 targets) --- ironically these are just slightly better than Spears above haha --- now if you think they play with a lead, I would go Najee all the way, from behind, I can see it being a toss up, you choose/arguably a fade... In the 2 games with Diontae retuining, he and pickens are playing 90%+ of snaps, I think Diontae grades out much better, as he has a 32% target share, with a good aDOT of 12.35, and he is cheaper than pickens who has a 21%~ target share, but a massive 16.31 aDOT... I do think either can be played though, and have no issues going both too. Calvin Austin took the snap hit post Diontae return, and imo is unplayable as he is more expensive than Moore/Phillips conundrum, and almost the same price as A-Rob, who I know has been worthless, but he is still seeing the field at like a 68% clip (compared to Austins 20%~). A-Rob is a lineup dart in a couple of lineups if mass entering. TE Heyward looks like a steal at 2.8K, post Freiermuth, he has played 80%~ of snaps, and last week no other TE was over 18%, he has averaged 4.33 targets, has an ok aDOT of 5.44, and seen RZ targets.

MIA/KCC


Dolphins have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Chiefs have a great RB matchup, good P matchup.
Tua has a good pressure rate matchup. Mostert has a great run potential.
Mahomes has a bad pressure rate matchup, but a great pass potential. Pacheco has a good run potential.
Pace of play is 9th.

- Injuries - MIA - On D, CBs Howard(93%), Ramsey, Needham are all Q. On O, TE/RB Smythe/Mostert are Q, no WR Cracraft. T Armstead may be returning, but 2nd week without T Wynn.
- KCC - On D, LB Bolton (85%) is out, and LB Yag (63%) is Q but really looks doubtful. On O, RBs Helaire/McKinnon are Q, WR James may return.

I am semi concerned about Mostert coming into this game with a bit of an ankle concern, and is coming off b2b games with his lowest snap total in games that did not include Achane... and getting 0 targets last week doesn't make it any better --- I guess I expected his price to be a bit higher, and it technically is a good matchup, so maybe I'll have some, but I'll bit a bit underweight. Ahmed is 1.2K and coming off a 4 taget/catch performance... if he is truly the 3rd down back/pass catching back for now, and they play from behind, he could be a good punt option in a coule of lineups. On the year, Hill has an elite 33% target share/11 aDOT, he can break a slate whenever, and I won't talk you off of him. I will say, since week 5, and removing the week he was having back issues, Waddles target share has been just as good at 31% and I'd love to find a way to maybe get both. Claypool looks to have slightly eaten into Wilson's snaps and I think both are unplayable unless Berrios does not play. I think Berrios could be an okay punt, but I keep looking back at Smythe, who is somehow $800, and plays atleast 2/3rds of snaps... finally last week he was targeted 3 times, with an aDOT of almost 9, he is the best punt option on this side imo.

Sticking with TEs, noah gray is just 200 under smythe, why go for a TE2 on a team, when we can get a TE1 for same price and more upside/safety... come on. Weeks 2 through 8, with missing parts of 2? of those games, Kelce has a massive TE target share of 26%, with a decent aDOT of 6.91, never a bad idea to play him. Mckinnon feels a bit to rich for my blood, but from week 6 to 7, with helaire, he saw an increase and his most snaps to date, 37%, without helaire last week, and playing from a positive pass script, he hit a new season high at 41%, I get it as a dart throw if mass entering. Pacheco has really had a safe ppr floor, seeing atleast 4 targets in his last 3, he is a leverage off mahomes if you want to create lineups without him, allowing you to probably still get hill/kelce/etc. WR is whats going to make or break us (like every week with KC), Rice is kind of developing the Toney role, with the short routes/low aDOT, and he is the most expensive, by a lot..... I'll be underweight despite my redrafts not liking that. Toney is unplayable. With Watson back, both he and MVS were still the deep shot threats, but I want to add, Moore saw 54% of snaps, and actually had a double digit aDOT too, and he comes in at 1.8K, probably my favorite punt/salary guy, if mass entering I'd be sure to include watson too, and maybe MVS, despite being costly. Hardman had a negative aDOT, and only saw 11 snaps... not sure if/when he will see an increase, but I'll pass for now.

MIN/ATL


Vikings have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Falcons have a meh P/RB matchup.
Dobbs? has a great pressure rate matchup, and the best pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Cousins. Mattison? has a bad run potential.
Heinicke has a bad pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Ridder.
Vikings TTR is 19th (bad).
Falcons TTR is T-9th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-9th (last/bad).

- Injuries - MIN - On D, DE Lowry (48%) is out, LB Davenport (42%) is out for 2nd week. On O, obviosuly no QB Cousins/WR JJ.
- ATL - On D, DE Jarrett (75%) is out, S/DE Hellams/London are out (low snap % players). On O, WR London is out, FB Smith (24%~) is out.

It is hard to gauge these offenses, because the season numbers are without either of these starting QB, but we do have cheap options, with rising floors due to injuries, so for tournaments, there are at least options...

Idk if it counts for anything but Halls 4 pass attempts were split between Hockenson/Osborn. He is below the typical floor of starting QBs in price (which is 5K), and if the vikings don't deviate to much from their identity, they are one of the top teams in pass/run ratio, which also falls in line with ATL's DVOA numbers (see Levis last week......). Mattison is still the starter, and looks to be the pass script option as well... my problem is Akers does get goalline work, his 17 opps last week was just with 1 target (and a terrible <2ypc).... I can't trust it, pass. I think these WRs are appropriately priced so really it is about what salary relief you need --- my gut says to avoid Addison because I like the WRs around him more, but most people are thinking the same thing, and could create some leverage, so I get it. Osborn has a 20% target share in the 3 games without JJ, with an ok aDOT of 7.76 and is probably a more reliable option than those chasing Shaheed from last week. Powell is practically a floor price dart thorw/salary saver in a lineup if mass entering, but idk if I go here. Hockenson has a huge 27% target share without JJ, and a decent aDOT of 6.93, and they priced him cheaper than he has been all year, yes.

Heinicke has to be a boost to this offense.. in one half of football (with a neutral to positive pass script) he had 21 pass atempts, and his aDOT was 9.67, compared to Ridders 7.77 --- both of which give better chances at production for those around him. Bijan, like last week, is way to cheap for a guy who sees over 70% of snaps, is T-1st for % of routes ran per dropback (he had 3 targets in 1 half of football with Heinicke)... I hope he goes low owned, as he will be popular with me ----- yet again..... Ummm I know this is weird to say, but it might be van jefferson season.... While london played just 54% of snaps last week, here was the breakdown for the rest of the players, Jefferson/Hodge/Miller/Hollins, 71%/43%/34%/21%, all 4 of these WRs are almost floor priced, while I think anyone of them can exceed value and 4X+ their salary, I'm going with what is most likely, whcih is Jefferson --- he had a 15% target share last week (obviously played the most snaps), with nice 13 aDOT, all 5 of his targets came from Heinickie in 1 half. I do think most people go to Pitts here (or maybe Joonu), and I get it, but I'm going to fade that ownership here, it's a small sample size of course, but they were targeted a total of 2 times in the second half, and like I said, I think 90%+ of people chasing the london injury value, fall here.

ARI/CLV

Cards have a bad P/RB matchup.
Browns have a great P/RB matchup.
Tune has a bad pressure rate situation, and the worst pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Dobbs (although that may matter the least).
Walker? has a meh pass potential. Ford? has a great run potential.
Cards TTR is 20th (bad/last).
Browns TTR is T-5th.
Pace of play is 4th (good), O/U Rank is 8th (bad).

- Injuries - ARI - On D, DE Strong (56%) is Q. On O, C Colon/T Wilkinson are out, RB Demaercado is out. WRs Dortch/Wilson are Q. Kyler? may be back.
- CLV - On D, CB Newsome (88%) is out, DE Wright (23%) is out.

I know newsome is out, and tune/all ARI pieces are cheap, but the matchup is just so bad. I'm not chasing McBride, I don't want to take Ingram, Hollywood I guess is cheap enough for having a double digit target ceiling + 11.62 aDOT on the year. If Wilson is out, Moore would be almost a min priced WR option, he is a short aDOT guy, so could be a reliable target for a rookie QB with probably no time in the pocket... If Kyler is in, my interest does rise.

In a neutral game last week, 3 RBs played between 31 and 35% of snaps... wtf, can't trust any of that, and I hope others break on doing a CLV RB + D. Weeks 1-3 with Watson, Cooper/Moore both had a 25% target share, and cooper had a sick 16.12 aDOT. He is a tournament slate breaker candidate imo, while I'd rather have him over Moore, Moore is sooo cheap for his role too, his aDOT is worse at 7.76, but nobody in that price range has a 25% target share, and I really don't hate either. Njoku was so bad with Watson, and while he has come on off late, he has 3x'd his salary just once, I'd rather go somewhere else at TE.

LAR/GBP

Rams have a great P matchup, good RB matchup.
Packers have a great RB matchup, good P matchup.
Stafford? has a great pass potential. Freeman? has a great run potential.
Love has a great pressure rate situation, and a good pass potential.
Rams TTR is 16th (meh).
Packers TTR is T-9th.
Pace of play is 8th. O/U Rank is 7th (bad).

- Injuries - LAR - On D, LB Jones (94%) is out, and CB Durant (77%) is Q. On O, QB Stafford/WR Nacua are Q.
- GBP - On D, S Savage (83%) is out, LB/S Walker (83%)/Ford (99%) are Q.

Freeman/Henderson are in a 50-50 split...Freeman has 0 ppr upside, so pass. Henderson seems fine at his price point, he has a good matchup on paper, is averaging 17.5~ opps/g with 2.5 targets/g... if stafford plays and struggles with deep throws, it could be dump off city, don't hate him in a couple lineups. In the 4 games since Kupps return, he has played every snap, and has a massive target share of 33.33%, and an ok aDOT of 9.63, he is the cheapest he has ever been this year, and the concern of staffords thumb, and a somewhat down b2b games may keep people off, I'll note 2 things however, Nacua comes in 1.1K heaper, and is virtually the same player, as he has a 32.5% with an 8.65 aDOT, so I get it if you want to go here instend, but the other thing I wanted to note, is there is a chance he does not play, if that's the case, we have a HUGE amount of targets that need to be dispersed, and massively elevates all others, which include Kupp, as well as Atwell, who has the best aDOT of the 3 at 12.92, but just a 10.5 target share, I may go overboard on it if nacua is out. You can make the arguement that Skowronek will become an 80%+ snap guy too, and he is floor priced. I want to say I don't care about Higbee, but he does run a route on 79% of dropbacks, T-3rd among TEs, his target share is whatever at 14%, but his aDOT isn't bad at 7.19, he's really cheap, and again if Nacua is out, you have to assume he gets a chunk of that 33% target share.

We've seen Jones snap count rise since his return from 36% to 51%, and while he only had 12 opps, he did have 5 targets (and did so in his 36% snap game too), he is starting to get cheap, and we can only assume his snap% rises/usage, I think I'd rather be ahead of it then behind it. I know his return has been bad, but Watson being cheaper than Doubs is laughable. he has played a touch more in his 3 full games, he has a higher target share 19.8 to 17.82, and a way better aDOT of 16.55, to 10.39... he is a slate breaker waiting to happen, and I'll take another shot again on him. I think Reed is a good punt/salary saver option, he just saw a season high 78% of snaps, his aDOT in games with Watson is still great at 13.67 too. Musgrave has seen a drop in routes ran since the start of the year, a slight drop in target% with the big 3 WRs healthy (and I guess jones too), and a big drop in aDOT in that same scenario, to 2.6... Higbee is practically same price, and better statisically, pass here.

WAS/NEP

Commanders have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Patriots have a great P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Howell has a meh pressure rate situation. Br. Robinson has a meh run potential.
Stevenson has a bad run potential --- these are slightly influenced to pre chase young departure numbers.
Commanders TTR is T-13th (meh).
Pats TTR is T-5th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - WAS - On D, LB Barton (100%) is out, S Forrest (100%) is out for 3rd week --- they've traded DE Sweat(70%)/DE Young (85%), and S Butler (100% last 2 weeks) is Q. On O, T Charles is out. WR Samuel is out.
- NEP - On D, 6 Q players. On O, no WRs Parker/Bourne, Thornton is Q. T Anderson is out.

I have 0 interest in Br. Robinson, in the last 2 weeks, in negative run scripts, he has seen under 50% of snaps, and averaging 10.5 opps (1.5 targets).... gibson played a touch more last week and had 7 opps (5 targets) --- I think patriots win this game, and 5 targets is gibsons floor, I don't mind him as a cheap salary saver tourney option in a couple lineups but idk how much I go here. I think a lot of volume is incoming for these catchers and it is slightly more boosted too with the absence of Samuel, so I don't have any issue with either of the 3 (Mclaurin/dotson/thomas), but in relation to McLaurin/Dotson, I think most will chase last weeks performance, and despite not performing better, McLaurin led the 2 in targets, aDOT, and snaps, so I lean that direction. Thomas numbers look decent at a 16%~ target share last week, and a 6.63 aDOT, which matches his season, but when you play for the team with the #1 pass/run ratio in the league, the target share means that much more...

Stevenson last 3 weeks has a 15~ opp average, with more than 5 targets/g, yes please. Zeke is at 9~ opp avg, with less than 1 target/g, pass. Now I hope WAS can keep up a bit, to keep this competitive, and not let Zeke get like 2+ plodder TDs, otherwise I think Stevenson is a steal at this price. I really really really want to fade Douglas, I just don't know if I can. The guy faces no competition, lead the WRs in snaps last week, has 13 targets in last 2 weeks (22%+ target share), I guess his aDOT is trash at 4.85, and there is a likely scenario that the Pats pass volume is suppressed, On a side note, Juju should see increased time, Reagor saw his first action, Thornton may be back, Boutte is finally back since week 1 (where he played 70% of snaps and had 4 targets --- in a game with Juju/Bourne/Douglas). I know Douglas is going to be extremely popular, and I haven't decided what I want to do yet... my gut says fade/play Boutte maybe. To many mouths to feed at TE this week, and Gesicki went from 60/50 to 28% in 3 weeks, I think it is because they prefer Brown as a blocker when needed, and if the script is not pass favored, I don't like it, passing altogether.

CHI/NOS

Bears have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Saints have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Bagent has a bad pass potential. Foreman? has a good run potential.
Carr has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential.
Bears TTR is 18th (bad).
Saints TTR is 3rd (good).
Pace of play is 7th. O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - CHI - On D, S Brisker (91%), LB Edmunds (94%) is out, CB Smith (62%) is out for 3rd week. On O, G Davis is still out, WR St. Brown is out, and QB Fields is doubtful.
- NOS - On O, RB Miller is Q.

This backfield looks unplayable. Last week 4 of them ranged between 21 and 36% --- gross. I'm hoping Roschon can solidify himself, as he did run a lot of routes, and had 4 targets, but so did Evans, and he had the TD too, we can't trust it for DFS. With Bagent, Moores target share has dropped a little to 23.81%, but it's his aDOT that is worrisome, as it is just 4.8 it the 2 starts together (weeks 1-6 it was 12.67/25.77%). His price has came down, and they should be in a pass heavier script, I don't really like it. I do however thing Mooney at almost min-price is an interesting tourney play in a couple lineups, he has just a 12.7% traget share, but his aDOT is nice at 12.13, gets RZ targets, and plays just as much as Moore. Kmet is just to expensive for a 16%/5.3 aDOT guy, when we have guys priced a bit below him with same/better metrics, pass.

Look Kamara has been great since his return, I wish I had him in redraft leagues... and despite what I am about to say he had 22 opps last week (5 targets) --- which was arguably his worst stat line. BUT, Kamara costs top dollar (most expensive RB), he played a season low 58% of snaps --- and this was in a neutral script, both Taysom/Jamaal steal goalline work... do we think Saints more likely play from behind/neutral/ahead (I/vegas leans neutral to ahead), I just see to many red flags, especially when he may be in a slight downtrend, and is unlikely to even 3X this salary. If you take out the 2 weeks carr got hurt/playing with the bum shoulder, Olave has really good metrics --- 27% target share, and a 13.27 aDOT, that's a recipe for fantasy success. While Shaheed has been really good at HR upside, him being almost the same price as Thomas is slightly disrespectful --- in the saints 4 wins, his playing time/targets is limited, imo thomas or nothing. Idk what to do about Taysom... he has had a stretch of games with just 3 points, and that what he is doing now , which is good double digits.... my issue is that with Juwan Johnson back, he went from 8, and 5 targtes, down to just 1... so if he doesn't get you TDs on the ground, he can easily dud you --- while being the most expensive he's been all season, I think I'm going to full fade here.


SEA/BAL

Seahawks have a bad P/RB matchup.
Ravens have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Geno has a good pressure rate situation, but a bad pass potential.
Lamar has a meh pressure rate situation. Gus Bus has a good run potential.
Seahwaks TTR is 15th (meh).
Ravens TTR is T-1st (good).
Pace of play is 11th. O/U Rank is 3rd.

- Injuries - SEA - On D, LB Nwosu (70%+) is out.
- BAL - On D, S Williams 90%+ is Q to return after a 1 game absence. On O, T Moses (80%~) is doubtful.

We just absolutely can NOT play Walker.... last week was practically a neutral script throughout, yet he had just 10 opps (2 targets), and a 41% snap count!?!? Did he quietly get hurt, or is this an insane changing of the guard, without mention. Look, it is a tough matchup regardless, but Charb played 59% of snaps last week, and had 7 opps (2 targets) where he almost had 10 yards per touch.... I'm not saying to go overboard... but maybe taking Charb in a lineup or two can pay huge dividends if this holds true. JSN is unplayable if both Metcalf/Lockett are in. In the 6 games they played together, Metcalf has better numbers, 24.1%/12,68 aDOT, to 22.56%/10.52 aDOT, and he isn't priced that much higher... while I think you can play either, I lean Metcalf... Keep in mind it is a tough matchup, but in all of BAL's wins, they've hit at least 24 points, so I do think they should see him excess volume. Pass at TE, they play 3, and while fant is the true receiver of the 3, you can't trust it.

Gus bus had 21 opps (3 targets) in a supreme matchup, and I faded it...and I'll continue to do so.. he splits time with hill, has really no ppr upside, and imo is still a candidate to be vultured. At WR it feels like a crapshoot... in games with all 4 healthy, bateman can definitely be crossed off, and while agholor has a similar target share, he does get home run shots, with his 15.63 aDOT, but his usage is in the decline, so cross off. OBJ has actually had his season highs in snaps since week 1 (at just 57%) but it translated to a 21% target share, and a good aDOT of 11.82 --- at 3.8K, and on the team with the #1 TT, I think he is actually an ok dart throw.... Flowers leads the core in targets, but his aDOT is reverting back to his early year numbers... I still think he is viable, and is pretty cheap, but I'm throwing in OBJ too. Weeks 2 through 8, Andrews has a 22.7% target share, with a good aDOT of 7.49... it is a nice combo, and I think he can always be played, but he is expensive, and I feel like even Hockenson has the same range as him, so I am debating on being underweight, but I get it either way.

TBB/HOU

Bucs have a good P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Texans have a meh P/RB matchup.
Baker has a good pressure rate situation, and a good pass potential. R. White has the worst run potential.
Stroud has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential. Singletary? has the 2nd worst run potential
Bucs TTR is T-13th (meh).
Texans TTR is 8th.
Pace of play is T-5th (good), O/U Rank is 6th (meh).

- Injuries - TBB - On D, DE Hall (61%) is out, S/DT Izien (56%)/Vea (60%) are Q. On O, G Feiler (85%) is out.
- HOU - On D, S Murray (43%) is out, DT Rankins (61%) is Q. On O, no TEs Jordan/Quitoriano/WR Woods/RB Pierce. C Patterson (99%) is out, and already missing C Green (44.5%).

I think this game is one of the sneakier shootouts of the week, as TBB can't run in general, and have a much better pass matchup, with a good pace, and HOU can't run/I think they could be playing from behind

R. White is averaging almost 80% of snaps, he is T-1st for routes run per dropback among all RBs, he has hit atleast 6 targets in his last 2, and is just 5.6K, totally playable. Evans/Godwin are practically equally priced, but taking out the game Evans hurt himself, he has a great target share, 25.24% to 21.84%, and a much better aDOT of 13.31, to 8.82 --- if you want to take Godwin, go for it, but Evans is the bigger ceiling/upside player, and I'll be more overweight him. I'll just mention palmer, since truly taking over the role week 3, he has an 11% target share, with an aDOT of 13, so maybe one-off him if mass entering and possibly game stacking this game, not sure if I will. I'm obviously a fan of Otton if you read this thread, he is T-3rd in routes ran per dropback among TEs, he is cheap, he plays almost every snap, but he just isn't seeing many targets with a 12% target share, and an ok aDOT of 5.83, if you want to use him in a game/team stack ,that's fine, idk if I'd one-off him though.

Singletary had 12 opps (2 targets) on 40% of snaps, if he is projected to be more of the bellcow he can be played at 4.3K, not sure I do though because I hate the matchup, and if he doesn't get 3+ targets he might suck it up, but I get it. Last week Collins/Dell/Brown all played 72 to 78% of snaps without woods. Collins led in both target share, 25%, and aDOT, a massive 16.17 --- he did fail in a popular smash spot, and if that scares people I'll be overweight, however... I have interest in Brown as well.. .he is 3.1K and had a 21% target share and a 10 aDOT. I will not be playing Dell as he was bottom in all 3 categories, but still expensive relative to the others. (17%/5.25). I am torn on Schultz because HOU is missing their TE2 and 3, and last week he hit 21% of targets, but he is the 5th priced TE, and had a terrible aDOT of 1.4 --- I think I'm fading, but not totally sure yet.


Sunday 4PMs/Main Slate (Cont.)

IND/CAR


Colts have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Panthers have a good P/RB matchup.
Minshew has a good pressure rate situation. Taylor has the best main slate run potential.
Young has a meh pass potential. Chubba? has a meh run potential.
Colts TTR is 4th (good).
Panthers TTR is 11th.
Pace of play is 1st (good). O/U Ranked is 2nd.

- Injuries - IND - On D, CB Flowers (100%) out for 4th week, CB Brents (90%+) is out, LB Franklin (100%) is doubtful, S Thomas (100%) is Q. On O, WR Downs is Q, T Smith is out.
- CAR - On D, LB Houston (42%), LB Gross-Matos (50%), S Chinn (52%) are all out (CB Horn/LB Thompson have been out), and S Bell (100%) is doubtful, CB Jackson (84%) is Q. On O, WR Chark is Q.

A ton of defensive injuries on both sides, with a game that has great pace, and a ton of value options. Yes please.

It looked like something happened to Taylor right before half, but apparently all parties say he is fine... he still played his season high 61% of snaps, and I will be going right back to him this week. Downs continues to be the odd man out for me in this offense, with Minshew he has a 23% target share, with a 7,89 aDOT, those are ok numbers, but there are people around his price with more upside imo. While Pittmans aDOT is only a bit better at 8.28, he has a much better target share at 28%, I don't really care for his price, but I'll use him in game/team stacks. I'll say pierces name again, because he is due for a HR hit, he has just a 14% target share, but his aDOT is big at 15.29 and he is almsot floor priced. CAR has a ton of injuries, maybe today is the day? The TEs here are a crapshoot, pass.

Hubbard has officially been announced the started and is averaging about 72%~ of snaps the last 2 games --- my concern is he still has just an 18.5~ opp avg, with just 1.5 targets/g, he is just 5K so he is obviously playable, but I'd like to see a higher PPR floor. I've obviosuly been fading Thielen for ages, and it has bit me all year... but he is now an absurd 7.5K on DK --- this has been in a stir, because this is the week to fade that price, but this is also the week he will be his lowest owned... and he has broke 30+ points in DK (which is 4x+) atleast 3 times already.... not sure what I do with him just yet... but I will have me some Mingo, in games with him and Young, he has just a 17% target share, but a good aDOT of 11.5, chark is Q, and colts have been burned my perimeter WRs all year... he is in the 3Ks... taking my chances here. Hurtst is cheap enough, and colts have been bad to TEs, but he just has an 11% target share with Young, so I don't know if you have to go here outside of game stacks.

NYG/LVR

Giants have a great RB matchup, good P matchup.
Raiders have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
D. Jones? has a meh pressure rate situation, and a bad pass potential.
Garop has a great pressure rate situation, but a bad pass potential.
Giants TTR is 17th (meh).
Raiders TTR is 12th (meh).
Pace of play is 10th, O/U Rank is T-9th (last/bad).

- Injuries - NYG - On O, TE Waller is out/K Gano are out. But Ts Thomas/Neal are Q, best news they've had all year at that posiiton?
- LVR - On D, LBs Deablo (80%+)/Masterson (62% last week)/Mauga(back up LB) are all out, and LB Spillane (98%) is Q. On O, T Munford is out, FB Johnson is out.

Barkley has seen 3 straight games of increased snaps since his return, and is coming off the biggest opp performance of the year (I believe) with 41 (5 targets) --- now I don't think he gets there, but even the 2 prior weeks he averaged 22.5 carries/4.5 targets --- He is going to have the best Oline sicne his return, as well as danny half-a-penny back... I think he is in an absolute smash spot for a Raiders D that is severely hampered at the LB position. Weeks 4/5 is probably the most similar comparison this offense has had in regards to jones/wr core, in those 2 games Robinson had a 20% targets share, but a poor 2.5 aDOT, Slayton was the deepest aDOT candidate, both of these guys also played 80%/99% of snaps respectively last week, oh and this is the first week Wallers 22.5% target share is now missing.... I think both Slayton/Robinson are good almost floor priced options.

I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with Jacobs, but I'd have to think this new coach wants to get him and Adams involved early and often... and either way, Jacobs has been a workhorse, going over 20+ opps in 5 of his games, and not seeing lower than 4 targets since week 1, I think he is an ok play solely because he probably doesn't get scripted out --- and I do think they play from behind. If you take out week 2 when Meyers did not play, Adams/Meyers are both 90%+ snap guys, but adams leads in target share, 30% to 24.5%, and aDOT, 11.13 to 10.3 --- while I think you can go in either direction, I much rather go to adams. I'll note, renfrow saw 61% of snaps last week, had a 19% target share, with an ok aDOT of 7.5, he is floor priced, which you can't really find anywhere. I don't think Mayer is a bad punt/salary saver option, as he really has become the starter in the last 3 weeks, where he has had a good aDOT of 9.08, coming over a 90%+ snap game... imo worth a one-off if you want.

DAL/PHI

Cowboys have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Eagles have a meh RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Dak has a good pressure rate situation and a good pass potential. Pollard has a meh run potential.
Hurts has the worst pressure rate situation. Swift has a good run potential.
Cowboys TTR is 7th.
Eagles TTR is T-1st (good).
Pace of play is 14th (meh/last), O/U Rank is 1st.

- Injuries - DAL - On D, 2nd week without LB Vander Esch (88%). On O, T/G Smith/Edoga are Q, TE Hendershott is out.
- PHI - On D, CB Roby (45%) is out for 2nd week, S Evans (100%) is out for 3rd week, and CB Maddox is still out. On O, RB Scott/TE Calcaterra are out, C Jurgens may? be returning.

I still want to believe in pollard, and I have said this for a couple weeks now, but Dallas loves to play in extremely positive or negative scripts that hurt true production by 2nd halves of games. I'm not going to be overweight, and this is obviously a tough run matchup, but I do think this game should be closer than most of their games, and he could be a sneaky tourney option. We know PHI should be attacked through the air, Dak has been really hitting a stride of late, and we just saw what Lamb can do in spike weeks. He is absolutely playable, I have a feeling I'll be underweight the field though, I do like Gallup, who actually has a better target share in games with Cooks while they both have virtually the same aDOT --- oh and he is cheaper. Ferguson seems to expensive for what he actually has been doing, but I know he does get a ton of RZ looks, so I get it... but even in games without Hendershot, he has just a 12% target share, and an ok aDOT of 6, his target share actually drops if you just look at his last 3 games, where he played his most dates to date... I'll pass.

I think Swift can do well any week, with slate breaking upside, but unless he hits a TD outside of the redzone, I think he will bust you more than boom you, so I'll pass. AJ Brown is having an MVP season, with a 31.5% target share and a great aDOT of 13.17, I won't talk anyone off playing him, as he is the #1 WR on the team with the #1 team total... Smith seems a bit expensive, but I can be convinced, he has a good aDOT too at 12.11, but his target share is just 22%. Goedert is too expensive for me to consider as a one-off, but I get it in game/team stacks, as he does have an 18% target share, but his aDOT is meh at 5.21, I'll mostly fade.

BUF/CIN


Bills have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Bengals have a good RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Allen has a meh pressure rate situation, but a good pass potential. Cook has a great run potential.
Burrow has a meh pass potential.
Pace of play is 12th (meh).

- Injuries - BUF - On D, CB Elam (95%) is out for 2nd week, DT Jones (50%~) & LB Milano (90%+) are out for 3rd week, and CB White (90%) is out for 4th week. On O, no TE Knox/RB Harris still.
- CIN - On D, DT Tupou (29%) is out. On O, RB Mixon/G Scharping are Q.

Playing in a neutral to positive run script, and the first week without knox, Cook played a season high 67% of snaps, which was nice to see, as Murray was getting dangerously close to him in terms of usage. While he had just 15 opps, it was even worse when you see he only had 1 target, and Allen/Murray are vulture candidates but the matchup is good, I like the snap usage, and he is actually pretty cheap, so I don't hate going here. Shakir is way to cheap at 3.4K for what his usage is, as he played 65% of snaps, had a 15% target share, but actually led Diggs/Davis in aDOT at 8.83, I'll be overweight, again. While Diggs can obviously slate break, I think I'm going to be underweight, as he is priced at the top, and I wouldn't be shocked seeing any of the other 3 receiving choices beat him, plus it kind of blocks you from getting players like Chase. Kincaid played a season high 84% (rightfully so) of snaps last week, and had an 18% target share, 2 RZ targets... and the bengals are in the bottom quarter in FPs given up the position, I like it.

While Mixon does come in questionable, he consistently plays 75%~ of snaps, and has a safe ppr floor, I'm fine with playing him, the other backs really don't get much opportunity and aren't worth considering. Chase is a target monster and in games WITH higgins/boyd, he has a 31.5% target share... his aDOT isn't the best at 7.53, but we know he can YAC it too. While I like boyd, I feel like the gap in price isn't big enough with Higgins, I'd only consider it if I need the drop in salary from higgins to boyd... give me higgins with his 20% target share, and best aDOT on the team at 11.69. We have to find salary relief on this slate, and I think captaining one of the mid priced guys, could get you to take the big dogs, but you most likely need a punt option. Irv. Smith is #1, as he is the top TE on the team and is just 1.6K, but the WR4 Irwin or backup TEs in Morris/Sample would be where I go

LAC/NYJ


Chargers have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Jets have a great P matchup, good RB matchup.
Herbert has a good pass potential. Ekeler has a meh run potential.
Z. Wilson has a meh pressure rate situation. Hall has a meh run potential.
Pace of play is T-5th (good).

- Injuries - LAC - On D, DT/LBs Joseph-Day (57%)/Murray (98%)/Kendricks (84%) are all Q, They may be returning DT Ogbonnia. On O, obviously no WRs Williams/Palmer, but they may be returning WR Guyton.
- NYJ - On D, DT Woods (38%) is out, On O, C McGovern (89%)/G Vera-Tucker (60%)/G Schweitzer (20%)/T Brown (24%) are all out, they only have 2 Olineman that were week 1 starters (Beckton/Tomlinson). WR Lazard is Q.

Since Ekeler's return he's averaging 66%~ of snaps, 19.6 opps (5.33 targets/g), That's a good floor/ceiling combo as any in this showdown. I do believe the more likely outcome is a neutral to positive run script though which kind of makes me think Kelley could be a sneaky option in just a couple lineups at 2.6K, but he has no ppr upside, and can obviously dud you. In the 4 weeks without Mike Williams, Allen/Palmer/Johnston played as WR1a/WR1b/WR3, 27%/20%/10% target shares, and 11.57/12.85/15.08 aDOTs. Now 20% of those targets need to be dispersed with no palmer, Unfortunately Guyton isn't listed in the player pool, but Johnston is just 3.6K and seems like a must selection. If Guyton isn't the guy, Fehoko/Davis were the guys who stepped in last week --- I'd go Fehoko first. Parham and Everett see redzone targets (7 combined in the weeks without williams) so they can always be viable, but there aDOTs have been less than desirable, and the target shares are even low... I'd go parham over everett due to price, but not in love with either unless you think most of palmers targets get dispersed this direction.

Hall was unleashed 3 games ago, and he is averaging 15~ carries, and 5.66 targets/g, never seeing lower than 3... I think he is definitely a volume/safe play with upside that can be considered. If Lazard suits up, him and wilson own the 2 WR sets, and I have no problem going either way as there prices are so gapped, but so is there target share. Cobb is expected to suit up, and somehow he is min priced, and averaging 50%~ of snaps... I expect them to be playing from behind, and having to make short to intermediate throws, and will be actually buliding most lineups with him -- Gipson/Taylor were the guys to split time last week w/o cobb, so if mass entering, maybe switch cobb to one of these guys in a lineup, but if Lazard is out they also see boosts too --- all are min priced. Conklin/Uzomoah/Ruckert all see snaps, while Conklin is the pass catching one, he isn't floor priced like rucket/uzomoah --- it is a weird slate because aside from Wilson/Hall --- then Lazard/Conklin, all of the jets options are $200..... so again, if mass entering, feel free to take a shot on uzomoah/ruckert as a pivot off cobb, but cobb is definitely the priority of the punt plays.

I'm leaning towards 4-2/5-1 charger stacks mostly.

TEN/PIT


Titans have a meh P/RB matchup.
Steelers have a great P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Levis has a bad pressure rate matchup, and a meh pass potential. Henry has a good run potential.
Pickett has a bad pressure rate matchup. Najee has a bad run potential.
Pace of play is 13th (meh).

- Injuries - TEN - On D, DT/CB Simmons (89%)/McCreary (89%) are both Q. On O, WR Hopkins/RB Henry/TE Whyle/T Hubbard are all Q. QB Tanny is Q too, but doubt he plays.
- PIT - On D, S Fitzpatrick (100%) is out, CB Wallace (91%) is Q. But DT Heyward may be returning. On O, QB Pickett is Q, TE Freiermuth obvi on IR.

Assuming Levis is going to be the starter --- even if Vrabel mentions both will see snaps (semi joking) like last week, Willis only saw 2 snaps, don't be scared. What is great about Levis and this offense? He had 29 pass attempts in a negative to neutral passing script ---- tannehill achieved 29 or more in just 2 of 6 games ,both were in positive to neutral passing scripts. His total air yards was 341 (tanny averaged 245), and his aDOT was 11.76 (tanny was 9.31). I'm going to talk about last weeks numbers, but know the aDOTs were out of sorts/can't fully repeat. Last week Hopkins/Burks/Westbrook ALL had aDOTs over 22 --- Hopkins led in target share at 22%, while Burks/Westbrook were at 7.5%, which were below Philips, who may be the WR5 as he played even less than Moore. --- I know that's a lot to follow, but last weeks snaps were whacky, as all 5 WRs saw time, and ranged from 26% to 63%. Hopkins is obviously a priority --- Ikhine/Burks is a semi crapshoot, as they both played 50%, both are priced practically the same and are relatively cheap, but if we are looking to punt even further, we have Philips/Moore at 800/400$ priced, Philips had 3 targets with Levis, but saw his snaps drop with the return of burks (from 49% pre-bye to 26% last week), Moore had 0 targets, but actually saw his snaos rise with the return of burks (36% pre-bye to 41% last week). My gut says Ikhine>Burks, and Moore>Philips, but I have no issues if you either go the other direction, play both ikhine/burks, or avoid both moore/philips, as it looks like there is a handful of cheaper side options to where maybe we don't need to punt. Chig saw a nice uptick of target share compared to his yearly numbers, as he had a 22% target share, where his prior 6 games it was 16%, he also has a decent aDOT of 6.69, his season numbes look pretty bad, but at 4.2K, and hopefully most eyes trying to decide which WR they want, I actually like him quite a bit. Henry had 26 opps last week, 4 targets and played his 2nd most % of snaps on the year, 65%... those are really great numbers, and maybe a sign of things to come, especially if this offense is more open/actually a deep, downfield threat. He is nursing an ankle injury, and monitor if DT Heyward is returning. Either way the guy is a workhorse, and should be in your player pool. Spears still played 40%~ of snaps, and had 7opps (4 targets), which are ok/safe numbers, but if Henry is playing, I am 100% off of him, as he is priced higher than Chig/Burks/Ikhine, who arguably have higher target upside, with deeper aDOTs.

Wtf do we do with Najee/Warren, they are in a 54%~/46%~ split, last week in a negative run script, Najee had 12 opps (5 targets), Warren had 10 opps (5 targets) --- ironically these are just slightly better than Spears above haha --- now if you think they play with a lead, I would go Najee all the way, from behind, I can see it being a toss up, you choose/arguably a fade... In the 2 games with Diontae retuining, he and pickens are playing 90%+ of snaps, I think Diontae grades out much better, as he has a 32% target share, with a good aDOT of 12.35, and he is cheaper than pickens who has a 21%~ target share, but a massive 16.31 aDOT... I do think either can be played though, and have no issues going both too. Calvin Austin took the snap hit post Diontae return, and imo is unplayable as he is more expensive than Moore/Phillips conundrum, and almost the same price as A-Rob, who I know has been worthless, but he is still seeing the field at like a 68% clip (compared to Austins 20%~). A-Rob is a lineup dart in a couple of lineups if mass entering. TE Heyward looks like a steal at 2.8K, post Freiermuth, he has played 80%~ of snaps, and last week no other TE was over 18%, he has averaged 4.33 targets, has an ok aDOT of 5.44, and seen RZ targets.

I guess Pickett is healthy? If so I love me some pickens, feel like Pickett starting to figure out just throw the ball to that guy! You gotta be a damn fool not to, his catch radius is sick, kid will be a top 10’wr in no time if these guys have a clue!

I’m not so high on Levis, didn’t watch tho and I will say if there ever a time it prob a short week before teams have time to pick his film apart and game plan for his ass. I just kept hearing his name wjen he was at uk and every time I watch him I was left wondering what the hell ppl saw in him! Lol. Could be it was just the lack of talent around him tho, I been wrong on many qbs. Lol

full practice yesterday for pickett, so going to assume so
 
full practice yesterday for pickett, so going to assume so

Makes sense. It was his ribs tho correct? Concern there titans front always been good getting to the qb, one big shot to the chops and his night could be over,
 
When trubisky came in last week appears he was way more interested throwing the ball to Johnson! Then again johnson has missed a bunch so maybe that wasn’t just a trubisky thing? All I know is Johnson fine and all, good over the middle from the slot but pickens should get more targets than him every week! Pickems has the goods to put up top 5 type numbers! Big, fast, one the best catch radiuses I ever seen, I get annoyed every week they don’t get him matched up 1 on 1 and just throw it up, those 50-50 balls are more like 70-30 with him!!
 
Seeing that DHop is on the injury list for a toe, never a good sign for a receiver. Said he was very limited in practice this week, if he's a no go I'm not sure how much Levis can do without him. But no Fitzpatrick on that Steelers defense should make them a completely different unit. Thinking this is one ugly game which isn't unusual for a Thursday night.

My guess is it's a short week and they don't feel the need to pratice him
 
So I went kind off the wall tonight. Normally I wouldn’t like the idea of Levis but Steelers without much time to scheme for him, and a banged up secondary maybe this just chance! All the tv and radio buffoons been slobbering over the Levis to dhop connection all day but have ya’ll followed dhop the last few years? You think he gonna be feeling healthy and fresh just a few days removed from his biggest workload in how long? I don’t! Plus I’d think Steelers would pay him some extra attention. So I went little off the rails here and played a kid who has like all of 5-6 catches on the year!! He had missed several games before coming back last week where he got 2 targets and no catches, unlike dhop he will be fresh and ready to go and nobody will see him coming! I know this much, Burkes can take the top of a defense and Levis has a cannon! As is customary I had no interest in his reg prop that was something like 25 yards: I considered his longest catch over 15.5 yards bud emd the day this shouod be no shock to anyone I got greedy!!!

Burkes 50+ rec. +360. . I wasn’t willing to play the wheel with him as not a bet im super confident in.

Okonkowa ov 25.5 rec

Pickens longest catch ov 21.5

Johnson ov 5.5 catches

Pickens ov 52.5
 
Sorry so late I hate hectic last 3 hours, was trying to give little nuggets on them all and realized I was out of time! Lol. Prob not much help, my bad, truth be told I don’t love this game or those plays anyways so maybe better off!!

Oh yea I played pickett ov 214.5 also.

MIN/ATL


Vikings have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Falcons have a meh P/RB matchup.
Dobbs? has a great pressure rate matchup, and the best pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Cousins. Mattison? has a bad run potential.
Heinicke has a bad pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Ridder.
Vikings TTR is 19th (bad).
Falcons TTR is T-9th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-9th (last/bad).

- Injuries - MIN - On D, DE Lowry (48%) is out, LB Davenport (42%) is out for 2nd week. On O, obviosuly no QB Cousins/WR JJ.
- ATL - On D, DE Jarrett (75%) is out, S/DE Hellams/London are out (low snap % players). On O, WR London is out, FB Smith (24%~) is out.

It is hard to gauge these offenses, because the season numbers are without either of these starting QB, but we do have cheap options, with rising floors due to injuries, so for tournaments, there are at least options...

Idk if it counts for anything but Halls 4 pass attempts were split between Hockenson/Osborn. He is below the typical floor of starting QBs in price (which is 5K), and if the vikings don't deviate to much from their identity, they are one of the top teams in pass/run ratio, which also falls in line with ATL's DVOA numbers (see Levis last week......). Mattison is still the starter, and looks to be the pass script option as well... my problem is Akers does get goalline work, his 17 opps last week was just with 1 target (and a terrible <2ypc).... I can't trust it, pass. I think these WRs are appropriately priced so really it is about what salary relief you need --- my gut says to avoid Addison because I like the WRs around him more, but most people are thinking the same thing, and could create some leverage, so I get it. Osborn has a 20% target share in the 3 games without JJ, with an ok aDOT of 7.76 and is probably a more reliable option than those chasing Shaheed from last week. Powell is practically a floor price dart thorw/salary saver in a lineup if mass entering, but idk if I go here. Hockenson has a huge 27% target share without JJ, and a decent aDOT of 6.93, and they priced him cheaper than he has been all year, yes.

Heinicke has to be a boost to this offense.. in one half of football (with a neutral to positive pass script) he had 21 pass atempts, and his aDOT was 9.67, compared to Ridders 7.77 --- both of which give better chances at production for those around him. Bijan, like last week, is way to cheap for a guy who sees over 70% of snaps, is T-1st for % of routes ran per dropback (he had 3 targets in 1 half of football with Heinicke)... I hope he goes low owned, as he will be popular with me ----- yet again..... Ummm I know this is weird to say, but it might be van jefferson season.... While london played just 54% of snaps last week, here was the breakdown for the rest of the players, Jefferson/Hodge/Miller/Hollins, 71%/43%/34%/21%, all 4 of these WRs are almost floor priced, while I think anyone of them can exceed value and 4X+ their salary, I'm going with what is most likely, whcih is Jefferson --- he had a 15% target share last week (obviously played the most snaps), with nice 13 aDOT, all 5 of his targets came from Heinickie in 1 half. I do think most people go to Pitts here (or maybe Joonu), and I get it, but I'm going to fade that ownership here, it's a small sample size of course, but they were targeted a total of 2 times in the second half, and like I said, I think 90%+ of people chasing the london injury value, fall here.

ARI/CLV

Cards have a bad P/RB matchup.
Browns have a great P/RB matchup.
Tune has a bad pressure rate situation, and the worst pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Dobbs (although that may matter the least).
Walker? has a meh pass potential. Ford? has a great run potential.
Cards TTR is 20th (bad/last).
Browns TTR is T-5th.
Pace of play is 4th (good), O/U Rank is 8th (bad).

- Injuries - ARI - On D, DE Strong (56%) is Q. On O, C Colon/T Wilkinson are out, RB Demaercado is out. WRs Dortch/Wilson are Q. Kyler? may be back.
- CLV - On D, CB Newsome (88%) is out, DE Wright (23%) is out.

I know newsome is out, and tune/all ARI pieces are cheap, but the matchup is just so bad. I'm not chasing McBride, I don't want to take Ingram, Hollywood I guess is cheap enough for having a double digit target ceiling + 11.62 aDOT on the year. If Wilson is out, Moore would be almost a min priced WR option, he is a short aDOT guy, so could be a reliable target for a rookie QB with probably no time in the pocket... If Kyler is in, my interest does rise.

In a neutral game last week, 3 RBs played between 31 and 35% of snaps... wtf, can't trust any of that, and I hope others break on doing a CLV RB + D. Weeks 1-3 with Watson, Cooper/Moore both had a 25% target share, and cooper had a sick 16.12 aDOT. He is a tournament slate breaker candidate imo, while I'd rather have him over Moore, Moore is sooo cheap for his role too, his aDOT is worse at 7.76, but nobody in that price range has a 25% target share, and I really don't hate either. Njoku was so bad with Watson, and while he has come on off late, he has 3x'd his salary just once, I'd rather go somewhere else at TE.

LAR/GBP

Rams have a great P matchup, good RB matchup.
Packers have a great RB matchup, good P matchup.
Stafford? has a great pass potential. Freeman? has a great run potential.
Love has a great pressure rate situation, and a good pass potential.
Rams TTR is 16th (meh).
Packers TTR is T-9th.
Pace of play is 8th. O/U Rank is 7th (bad).

- Injuries - LAR - On D, LB Jones (94%) is out, and CB Durant (77%) is Q. On O, QB Stafford/WR Nacua are Q.
- GBP - On D, S Savage (83%) is out, LB/S Walker (83%)/Ford (99%) are Q.

Freeman/Henderson are in a 50-50 split...Freeman has 0 ppr upside, so pass. Henderson seems fine at his price point, he has a good matchup on paper, is averaging 17.5~ opps/g with 2.5 targets/g... if stafford plays and struggles with deep throws, it could be dump off city, don't hate him in a couple lineups. In the 4 games since Kupps return, he has played every snap, and has a massive target share of 33.33%, and an ok aDOT of 9.63, he is the cheapest he has ever been this year, and the concern of staffords thumb, and a somewhat down b2b games may keep people off, I'll note 2 things however, Nacua comes in 1.1K heaper, and is virtually the same player, as he has a 32.5% with an 8.65 aDOT, so I get it if you want to go here instend, but the other thing I wanted to note, is there is a chance he does not play, if that's the case, we have a HUGE amount of targets that need to be dispersed, and massively elevates all others, which include Kupp, as well as Atwell, who has the best aDOT of the 3 at 12.92, but just a 10.5 target share, I may go overboard on it if nacua is out. You can make the arguement that Skowronek will become an 80%+ snap guy too, and he is floor priced. I want to say I don't care about Higbee, but he does run a route on 79% of dropbacks, T-3rd among TEs, his target share is whatever at 14%, but his aDOT isn't bad at 7.19, he's really cheap, and again if Nacua is out, you have to assume he gets a chunk of that 33% target share.

We've seen Jones snap count rise since his return from 36% to 51%, and while he only had 12 opps, he did have 5 targets (and did so in his 36% snap game too), he is starting to get cheap, and we can only assume his snap% rises/usage, I think I'd rather be ahead of it then behind it. I know his return has been bad, but Watson being cheaper than Doubs is laughable. he has played a touch more in his 3 full games, he has a higher target share 19.8 to 17.82, and a way better aDOT of 16.55, to 10.39... he is a slate breaker waiting to happen, and I'll take another shot again on him. I think Reed is a good punt/salary saver option, he just saw a season high 78% of snaps, his aDOT in games with Watson is still great at 13.67 too. Musgrave has seen a drop in routes ran since the start of the year, a slight drop in target% with the big 3 WRs healthy (and I guess jones too), and a big drop in aDOT in that same scenario, to 2.6... Higbee is practically same price, and better statisically, pass here.

WAS/NEP

Commanders have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Patriots have a great P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Howell has a meh pressure rate situation. Br. Robinson has a meh run potential.
Stevenson has a bad run potential --- these are slightly influenced to pre chase young departure numbers.
Commanders TTR is T-13th (meh).
Pats TTR is T-5th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - WAS - On D, LB Barton (100%) is out, S Forrest (100%) is out for 3rd week --- they've traded DE Sweat(70%)/DE Young (85%), and S Butler (100% last 2 weeks) is Q. On O, T Charles is out. WR Samuel is out.
- NEP - On D, 6 Q players. On O, no WRs Parker/Bourne, Thornton is Q. T Anderson is out.

I have 0 interest in Br. Robinson, in the last 2 weeks, in negative run scripts, he has seen under 50% of snaps, and averaging 10.5 opps (1.5 targets).... gibson played a touch more last week and had 7 opps (5 targets) --- I think patriots win this game, and 5 targets is gibsons floor, I don't mind him as a cheap salary saver tourney option in a couple lineups but idk how much I go here. I think a lot of volume is incoming for these catchers and it is slightly more boosted too with the absence of Samuel, so I don't have any issue with either of the 3 (Mclaurin/dotson/thomas), but in relation to McLaurin/Dotson, I think most will chase last weeks performance, and despite not performing better, McLaurin led the 2 in targets, aDOT, and snaps, so I lean that direction. Thomas numbers look decent at a 16%~ target share last week, and a 6.63 aDOT, which matches his season, but when you play for the team with the #1 pass/run ratio in the league, the target share means that much more...

Stevenson last 3 weeks has a 15~ opp average, with more than 5 targets/g, yes please. Zeke is at 9~ opp avg, with less than 1 target/g, pass. Now I hope WAS can keep up a bit, to keep this competitive, and not let Zeke get like 2+ plodder TDs, otherwise I think Stevenson is a steal at this price. I really really really want to fade Douglas, I just don't know if I can. The guy faces no competition, lead the WRs in snaps last week, has 13 targets in last 2 weeks (22%+ target share), I guess his aDOT is trash at 4.85, and there is a likely scenario that the Pats pass volume is suppressed, On a side note, Juju should see increased time, Reagor saw his first action, Thornton may be back, Boutte is finally back since week 1 (where he played 70% of snaps and had 4 targets --- in a game with Juju/Bourne/Douglas). I know Douglas is going to be extremely popular, and I haven't decided what I want to do yet... my gut says fade/play Boutte maybe. To many mouths to feed at TE this week, and Gesicki went from 60/50 to 28% in 3 weeks, I think it is because they prefer Brown as a blocker when needed, and if the script is not pass favored, I don't like it, passing altogether.

CHI/NOS

Bears have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Saints have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Bagent has a bad pass potential. Foreman? has a good run potential.
Carr has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential.
Bears TTR is 18th (bad).
Saints TTR is 3rd (good).
Pace of play is 7th. O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - CHI - On D, S Brisker (91%), LB Edmunds (94%) is out, CB Smith (62%) is out for 3rd week. On O, G Davis is still out, WR St. Brown is out, and QB Fields is doubtful.
- NOS - On O, RB Miller is Q.

This backfield looks unplayable. Last week 4 of them ranged between 21 and 36% --- gross. I'm hoping Roschon can solidify himself, as he did run a lot of routes, and had 4 targets, but so did Evans, and he had the TD too, we can't trust it for DFS. With Bagent, Moores target share has dropped a little to 23.81%, but it's his aDOT that is worrisome, as it is just 4.8 it the 2 starts together (weeks 1-6 it was 12.67/25.77%). His price has came down, and they should be in a pass heavier script, I don't really like it. I do however thing Mooney at almost min-price is an interesting tourney play in a couple lineups, he has just a 12.7% traget share, but his aDOT is nice at 12.13, gets RZ targets, and plays just as much as Moore. Kmet is just to expensive for a 16%/5.3 aDOT guy, when we have guys priced a bit below him with same/better metrics, pass.

Look Kamara has been great since his return, I wish I had him in redraft leagues... and despite what I am about to say he had 22 opps last week (5 targets) --- which was arguably his worst stat line. BUT, Kamara costs top dollar (most expensive RB), he played a season low 58% of snaps --- and this was in a neutral script, both Taysom/Jamaal steal goalline work... do we think Saints more likely play from behind/neutral/ahead (I/vegas leans neutral to ahead), I just see to many red flags, especially when he may be in a slight downtrend, and is unlikely to even 3X this salary. If you take out the 2 weeks carr got hurt/playing with the bum shoulder, Olave has really good metrics --- 27% target share, and a 13.27 aDOT, that's a recipe for fantasy success. While Shaheed has been really good at HR upside, him being almost the same price as Thomas is slightly disrespectful --- in the saints 4 wins, his playing time/targets is limited, imo thomas or nothing. Idk what to do about Taysom... he has had a stretch of games with just 3 points, and that what he is doing now , which is good double digits.... my issue is that with Juwan Johnson back, he went from 8, and 5 targtes, down to just 1... so if he doesn't get you TDs on the ground, he can easily dud you --- while being the most expensive he's been all season, I think I'm going to full fade here.


SEA/BAL

Seahawks have a bad P/RB matchup.
Ravens have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Geno has a good pressure rate situation, but a bad pass potential.
Lamar has a meh pressure rate situation. Gus Bus has a good run potential.
Seahwaks TTR is 15th (meh).
Ravens TTR is T-1st (good).
Pace of play is 11th. O/U Rank is 3rd.

- Injuries - SEA - On D, LB Nwosu (70%+) is out.
- BAL - On D, S Williams 90%+ is Q to return after a 1 game absence. On O, T Moses (80%~) is doubtful.

We just absolutely can NOT play Walker.... last week was practically a neutral script throughout, yet he had just 10 opps (2 targets), and a 41% snap count!?!? Did he quietly get hurt, or is this an insane changing of the guard, without mention. Look, it is a tough matchup regardless, but Charb played 59% of snaps last week, and had 7 opps (2 targets) where he almost had 10 yards per touch.... I'm not saying to go overboard... but maybe taking Charb in a lineup or two can pay huge dividends if this holds true. JSN is unplayable if both Metcalf/Lockett are in. In the 6 games they played together, Metcalf has better numbers, 24.1%/12,68 aDOT, to 22.56%/10.52 aDOT, and he isn't priced that much higher... while I think you can play either, I lean Metcalf... Keep in mind it is a tough matchup, but in all of BAL's wins, they've hit at least 24 points, so I do think they should see him excess volume. Pass at TE, they play 3, and while fant is the true receiver of the 3, you can't trust it.

Gus bus had 21 opps (3 targets) in a supreme matchup, and I faded it...and I'll continue to do so.. he splits time with hill, has really no ppr upside, and imo is still a candidate to be vultured. At WR it feels like a crapshoot... in games with all 4 healthy, bateman can definitely be crossed off, and while agholor has a similar target share, he does get home run shots, with his 15.63 aDOT, but his usage is in the decline, so cross off. OBJ has actually had his season highs in snaps since week 1 (at just 57%) but it translated to a 21% target share, and a good aDOT of 11.82 --- at 3.8K, and on the team with the #1 TT, I think he is actually an ok dart throw.... Flowers leads the core in targets, but his aDOT is reverting back to his early year numbers... I still think he is viable, and is pretty cheap, but I'm throwing in OBJ too. Weeks 2 through 8, Andrews has a 22.7% target share, with a good aDOT of 7.49... it is a nice combo, and I think he can always be played, but he is expensive, and I feel like even Hockenson has the same range as him, so I am debating on being underweight, but I get it either way.

TBB/HOU

Bucs have a good P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Texans have a meh P/RB matchup.
Baker has a good pressure rate situation, and a good pass potential. R. White has the worst run potential.
Stroud has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential. Singletary? has the 2nd worst run potential
Bucs TTR is T-13th (meh).
Texans TTR is 8th.
Pace of play is T-5th (good), O/U Rank is 6th (meh).

- Injuries - TBB - On D, DE Hall (61%) is out, S/DT Izien (56%)/Vea (60%) are Q. On O, G Feiler (85%) is out.
- HOU - On D, S Murray (43%) is out, DT Rankins (61%) is Q. On O, no TEs Jordan/Quitoriano/WR Woods/RB Pierce. C Patterson (99%) is out, and already missing C Green (44.5%).

I think this game is one of the sneakier shootouts of the week, as TBB can't run in general, and have a much better pass matchup, with a good pace, and HOU can't run/I think they could be playing from behind

R. White is averaging almost 80% of snaps, he is T-1st for routes run per dropback among all RBs, he has hit atleast 6 targets in his last 2, and is just 5.6K, totally playable. Evans/Godwin are practically equally priced, but taking out the game Evans hurt himself, he has a great target share, 25.24% to 21.84%, and a much better aDOT of 13.31, to 8.82 --- if you want to take Godwin, go for it, but Evans is the bigger ceiling/upside player, and I'll be more overweight him. I'll just mention palmer, since truly taking over the role week 3, he has an 11% target share, with an aDOT of 13, so maybe one-off him if mass entering and possibly game stacking this game, not sure if I will. I'm obviously a fan of Otton if you read this thread, he is T-3rd in routes ran per dropback among TEs, he is cheap, he plays almost every snap, but he just isn't seeing many targets with a 12% target share, and an ok aDOT of 5.83, if you want to use him in a game/team stack ,that's fine, idk if I'd one-off him though.

Singletary had 12 opps (2 targets) on 40% of snaps, if he is projected to be more of the bellcow he can be played at 4.3K, not sure I do though because I hate the matchup, and if he doesn't get 3+ targets he might suck it up, but I get it. Last week Collins/Dell/Brown all played 72 to 78% of snaps without woods. Collins led in both target share, 25%, and aDOT, a massive 16.17 --- he did fail in a popular smash spot, and if that scares people I'll be overweight, however... I have interest in Brown as well.. .he is 3.1K and had a 21% target share and a 10 aDOT. I will not be playing Dell as he was bottom in all 3 categories, but still expensive relative to the others. (17%/5.25). I am torn on Schultz because HOU is missing their TE2 and 3, and last week he hit 21% of targets, but he is the 5th priced TE, and had a terrible aDOT of 1.4 --- I think I'm fading, but not totally sure yet.

Gotta love all things saints right? Kumara, Carr, olave all guys I want one way or another.

Not really thrilled colts have 2 backs in a game I want to play a running back! I love the colts here so think I might be on both backs. Taylor rush yards, tec yards, td, moss yardage total looks like cake if he gets 10 carry’s? You have thoughts on how colts splitting backfield @ScopeY ?

MIN/ATL


Vikings have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Falcons have a meh P/RB matchup.
Dobbs? has a great pressure rate matchup, and the best pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Cousins. Mattison? has a bad run potential.
Heinicke has a bad pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Ridder.
Vikings TTR is 19th (bad).
Falcons TTR is T-9th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-9th (last/bad).

- Injuries - MIN - On D, DE Lowry (48%) is out, LB Davenport (42%) is out for 2nd week. On O, obviosuly no QB Cousins/WR JJ.
- ATL - On D, DE Jarrett (75%) is out, S/DE Hellams/London are out (low snap % players). On O, WR London is out, FB Smith (24%~) is out.

It is hard to gauge these offenses, because the season numbers are without either of these starting QB, but we do have cheap options, with rising floors due to injuries, so for tournaments, there are at least options...

Idk if it counts for anything but Halls 4 pass attempts were split between Hockenson/Osborn. He is below the typical floor of starting QBs in price (which is 5K), and if the vikings don't deviate to much from their identity, they are one of the top teams in pass/run ratio, which also falls in line with ATL's DVOA numbers (see Levis last week......). Mattison is still the starter, and looks to be the pass script option as well... my problem is Akers does get goalline work, his 17 opps last week was just with 1 target (and a terrible <2ypc).... I can't trust it, pass. I think these WRs are appropriately priced so really it is about what salary relief you need --- my gut says to avoid Addison because I like the WRs around him more, but most people are thinking the same thing, and could create some leverage, so I get it. Osborn has a 20% target share in the 3 games without JJ, with an ok aDOT of 7.76 and is probably a more reliable option than those chasing Shaheed from last week. Powell is practically a floor price dart thorw/salary saver in a lineup if mass entering, but idk if I go here. Hockenson has a huge 27% target share without JJ, and a decent aDOT of 6.93, and they priced him cheaper than he has been all year, yes.

Heinicke has to be a boost to this offense.. in one half of football (with a neutral to positive pass script) he had 21 pass atempts, and his aDOT was 9.67, compared to Ridders 7.77 --- both of which give better chances at production for those around him. Bijan, like last week, is way to cheap for a guy who sees over 70% of snaps, is T-1st for % of routes ran per dropback (he had 3 targets in 1 half of football with Heinicke)... I hope he goes low owned, as he will be popular with me ----- yet again..... Ummm I know this is weird to say, but it might be van jefferson season.... While london played just 54% of snaps last week, here was the breakdown for the rest of the players, Jefferson/Hodge/Miller/Hollins, 71%/43%/34%/21%, all 4 of these WRs are almost floor priced, while I think anyone of them can exceed value and 4X+ their salary, I'm going with what is most likely, whcih is Jefferson --- he had a 15% target share last week (obviously played the most snaps), with nice 13 aDOT, all 5 of his targets came from Heinickie in 1 half. I do think most people go to Pitts here (or maybe Joonu), and I get it, but I'm going to fade that ownership here, it's a small sample size of course, but they were targeted a total of 2 times in the second half, and like I said, I think 90%+ of people chasing the london injury value, fall here.

ARI/CLV

Cards have a bad P/RB matchup.
Browns have a great P/RB matchup.
Tune has a bad pressure rate situation, and the worst pass potential --- keep in mind these stats were via Dobbs (although that may matter the least).

- Injuries - ARI - On D, DE Strong (56%) is Q. On O, C Colon/T Wilkinson are out, RB Demaercado is out. WRs Dortch/Wilson are Q. Kyler? may be back.
- CLV - On D, CB Newsome (88%) is out, DE Wright (23%) is out.

I know newsome is out, and tune/all ARI pieces are cheap, but the matchup is just so bad. I'm not chasing McBride, I don't want to take Ingram, Hollywood I guess is cheap enough for having a double digit target ceiling + 11.62 aDOT on the year. If Wilson is out, Moore would be almost a min priced WR option, he is a short aDOT guy, so could be a reliable target for a rookie QB with probably no time in the pocket... If Kyler is in, my interest does rise.

In a neutral game last week, 3 RBs played between 31 and 35% of snaps... wtf, can't trust any of that, and I hope others break on doing a CLV RB + D. Weeks 1-3 with Watson, Cooper/Moore both had a 25% target share, and cooper had a sick 16.12 aDOT. He is a tournament slate breaker candidate imo, while I'd rather have him over Moore, Moore is sooo cheap for his role too, his aDOT is worse at 7.76, but nobody in that price range has a 25% target share, and I really don't hate either. Njoku was so bad with Watson, and while he has come on off late, he has 3x'd his salary just once, I'd rather go somewhere else at TE.

Freeman/Henderson are in a 50-50 split...Freeman has 0 ppr upside, so pass. Henderson seems fine at his price point, he has a good matchup on paper, is averaging 17.5~ opps/g with 2.5 targets/g... if stafford plays and struggles with deep throws, it could be dump off city, don't hate him in a couple lineups. In the 4 games since Kupps return, he has played every snap, and has a massive target share of 33.33%, and an ok aDOT of 9.63, he is the cheapest he has ever been this year, and the concern of staffords thumb, and a somewhat down b2b games may keep people off, I'll note 2 things however, Nacua comes in 1.1K heaper, and is virtually the same player, as he has a 32.5% with an 8.65 aDOT, so I get it if you want to go here instend, but the other thing I wanted to note, is there is a chance he does not play, if that's the case, we have a HUGE amount of targets that need to be dispersed, and massively elevates all others, which include Kupp, as well as Atwell, who has the best aDOT of the 3 at 12.92, but just a 10.5 target share, I may go overboard on it if nacua is out. You can make the arguement that Skowronek will become an 80%+ snap guy too, and he is floor priced. I want to say I don't care about Higbee, but he does run a route on 79% of dropbacks, T-3rd among TEs, his target share is whatever at 14%, but his aDOT isn't bad at 7.19, he's really cheap, and again if Nacua is out, you have to assume he gets a chunk of that 33% target share.

We've seen Jones snap count rise since his return from 36% to 51%, and while he only had 12 opps, he did have 5 targets (and did so in his 36% snap game too), he is starting to get cheap, and we can only assume his snap% rises/usage, I think I'd rather be ahead of it then behind it. I know his return has been bad, but Watson being cheaper than Doubs is laughable. he has played a touch more in his 3 full games, he has a higher target share 19.8 to 17.82, and a way better aDOT of 16.55, to 10.39... he is a slate breaker waiting to happen, and I'll take another shot again on him. I think Reed is a good punt/salary saver option, he just saw a season high 78% of snaps, his aDOT in games with Watson is still great at 13.67 too. Musgrave has seen a drop in routes ran since the start of the year, a slight drop in target% with the big 3 WRs healthy (and I guess jones too), and a big drop in aDOT in that same scenario, to 2.6... Higbee is practically same price, and better statisically, pass here.

WAS/NEP

Commanders have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Patriots have a great P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Howell has a meh pressure rate situation. Br. Robinson has a meh run potential.
Stevenson has a bad run potential --- these are slightly influenced to pre chase young departure numbers.
Commanders TTR is T-13th (meh).
Pats TTR is T-5th.
Pace of play is T-2nd (good), O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - WAS - On D, LB Barton (100%) is out, S Forrest (100%) is out for 3rd week --- they've traded DE Sweat(70%)/DE Young (85%), and S Butler (100% last 2 weeks) is Q. On O, T Charles is out. WR Samuel is out.
- NEP - On D, 6 Q players. On O, no WRs Parker/Bourne, Thornton is Q. T Anderson is out.

I have 0 interest in Br. Robinson, in the last 2 weeks, in negative run scripts, he has seen under 50% of snaps, and averaging 10.5 opps (1.5 targets).... gibson played a touch more last week and had 7 opps (5 targets) --- I think patriots win this game, and 5 targets is gibsons floor, I don't mind him as a cheap salary saver tourney option in a couple lineups but idk how much I go here. I think a lot of volume is incoming for these catchers and it is slightly more boosted too with the absence of Samuel, so I don't have any issue with either of the 3 (Mclaurin/dotson/thomas), but in relation to McLaurin/Dotson, I think most will chase last weeks performance, and despite not performing better, McLaurin led the 2 in targets, aDOT, and snaps, so I lean that direction. Thomas numbers look decent at a 16%~ target share last week, and a 6.63 aDOT, which matches his season, but when you play for the team with the #1 pass/run ratio in the league, the target share means that much more...

Stevenson last 3 weeks has a 15~ opp average, with more than 5 targets/g, yes please. Zeke is at 9~ opp avg, with less than 1 target/g, pass. Now I hope WAS can keep up a bit, to keep this competitive, and not let Zeke get like 2+ plodder TDs, otherwise I think Stevenson is a steal at this price. I really really really want to fade Douglas, I just don't know if I can. The guy faces no competition, lead the WRs in snaps last week, has 13 targets in last 2 weeks (22%+ target share), I guess his aDOT is trash at 4.85, and there is a likely scenario that the Pats pass volume is suppressed, On a side note, Juju should see increased time, Reagor saw his first action, Thornton may be back, Boutte is finally back since week 1 (where he played 70% of snaps and had 4 targets --- in a game with Juju/Bourne/Douglas). I know Douglas is going to be extremely popular, and I haven't decided what I want to do yet... my gut says fade/play Boutte maybe. To many mouths to feed at TE this week, and Gesicki went from 60/50 to 28% in 3 weeks, I think it is because they prefer Brown as a blocker when needed, and if the script is not pass favored, I don't like it, passing altogether.

CHI/NOS

Bears have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Saints have a great P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Bagent has a bad pass potential. Foreman? has a good run potential.
Carr has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential.
Bears TTR is 18th (bad).
Saints TTR is 3rd (good).
Pace of play is 7th. O/U Rank is T-4th (meh).

- Injuries - CHI - On D, S Brisker (91%), LB Edmunds (94%) is out, CB Smith (62%) is out for 3rd week. On O, G Davis is still out, WR St. Brown is out, and QB Fields is doubtful.
- NOS - On O, RB Miller is Q.

This backfield looks unplayable. Last week 4 of them ranged between 21 and 36% --- gross. I'm hoping Roschon can solidify himself, as he did run a lot of routes, and had 4 targets, but so did Evans, and he had the TD too, we can't trust it for DFS. With Bagent, Moores target share has dropped a little to 23.81%, but it's his aDOT that is worrisome, as it is just 4.8 it the 2 starts together (weeks 1-6 it was 12.67/25.77%). His price has came down, and they should be in a pass heavier script, I don't really like it. I do however thing Mooney at almost min-price is an interesting tourney play in a couple lineups, he has just a 12.7% traget share, but his aDOT is nice at 12.13, gets RZ targets, and plays just as much as Moore. Kmet is just to expensive for a 16%/5.3 aDOT guy, when we have guys priced a bit below him with same/better metrics, pass.

Look Kamara has been great since his return, I wish I had him in redraft leagues... and despite what I am about to say he had 22 opps last week (5 targets) --- which was arguably his worst stat line. BUT, Kamara costs top dollar (most expensive RB), he played a season low 58% of snaps --- and this was in a neutral script, both Taysom/Jamaal steal goalline work... do we think Saints more likely play from behind/neutral/ahead (I/vegas leans neutral to ahead), I just see to many red flags, especially when he may be in a slight downtrend, and is unlikely to even 3X this salary. If you take out the 2 weeks carr got hurt/playing with the bum shoulder, Olave has really good metrics --- 27% target share, and a 13.27 aDOT, that's a recipe for fantasy success. While Shaheed has been really good at HR upside, him being almost the same price as Thomas is slightly disrespectful --- in the saints 4 wins, his playing time/targets is limited, imo thomas or nothing. Idk what to do about Taysom... he has had a stretch of games with just 3 points, and that what he is doing now , which is good double digits.... my issue is that with Juwan Johnson back, he went from 8, and 5 targtes, down to just 1... so if he doesn't get you TDs on the ground, he can easily dud you --- while being the most expensive he's been all season, I think I'm going to full fade here.


SEA/BAL

Seahawks have a bad P/RB matchup.
Ravens have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Geno has a good pressure rate situation, but a bad pass potential.
Lamar has a meh pressure rate situation. Gus Bus has a good run potential.
Seahwaks TTR is 15th (meh).
Ravens TTR is T-1st (good).
Pace of play is 11th. O/U Rank is 3rd.

- Injuries - SEA - On D, LB Nwosu (70%+) is out.
- BAL - On D, S Williams 90%+ is Q to return after a 1 game absence. On O, T Moses (80%~) is doubtful.

We just absolutely can NOT play Walker.... last week was practically a neutral script throughout, yet he had just 10 opps (2 targets), and a 41% snap count!?!? Did he quietly get hurt, or is this an insane changing of the guard, without mention. Look, it is a tough matchup regardless, but Charb played 59% of snaps last week, and had 7 opps (2 targets) where he almost had 10 yards per touch.... I'm not saying to go overboard... but maybe taking Charb in a lineup or two can pay huge dividends if this holds true. JSN is unplayable if both Metcalf/Lockett are in. In the 6 games they played together, Metcalf has better numbers, 24.1%/12,68 aDOT, to 22.56%/10.52 aDOT, and he isn't priced that much higher... while I think you can play either, I lean Metcalf... Keep in mind it is a tough matchup, but in all of BAL's wins, they've hit at least 24 points, so I do think they should see him excess volume. Pass at TE, they play 3, and while fant is the true receiver of the 3, you can't trust it.

Gus bus had 21 opps (3 targets) in a supreme matchup, and I faded it...and I'll continue to do so.. he splits time with hill, has really no ppr upside, and imo is still a candidate to be vultured. At WR it feels like a crapshoot... in games with all 4 healthy, bateman can definitely be crossed off, and while agholor has a similar target share, he does get home run shots, with his 15.63 aDOT, but his usage is in the decline, so cross off. OBJ has actually had his season highs in snaps since week 1 (at just 57%) but it translated to a 21% target share, and a good aDOT of 11.82 --- at 3.8K, and on the team with the #1 TT, I think he is actually an ok dart throw.... Flowers leads the core in targets, but his aDOT is reverting back to his early year numbers... I still think he is viable, and is pretty cheap, but I'm throwing in OBJ too. Weeks 2 through 8, Andrews has a 22.7% target share, with a good aDOT of 7.49... it is a nice combo, and I think he can always be played, but he is expensive, and I feel like even Hockenson has the same range as him, so I am debating on being underweight, but I get it either way.

TBB/HOU

Bucs have a good P matchup, meh RB matchup.
Texans have a meh P/RB matchup.
Baker has a good pressure rate situation, and a good pass potential. R. White has the worst run potential.
Stroud has a great pressure rate situation, and a great pass potential. Singletary? has the 2nd worst run potential
Bucs TTR is T-13th (meh).
Texans TTR is 8th.
Pace of play is T-5th (good), O/U Rank is 6th (meh).

- Injuries - TBB - On D, DE Hall (61%) is out, S/DT Izien (56%)/Vea (60%) are Q. On O, G Feiler (85%) is out.
- HOU - On D, S Murray (43%) is out, DT Rankins (61%) is Q. On O, no TEs Jordan/Quitoriano/WR Woods/RB Pierce. C Patterson (99%) is out, and already missing C Green (44.5%).

I think this game is one of the sneakier shootouts of the week, as TBB can't run in general, and have a much better pass matchup, with a good pace, and HOU can't run/I think they could be playing from behind

R. White is averaging almost 80% of snaps, he is T-1st for routes run per dropback among all RBs, he has hit atleast 6 targets in his last 2, and is just 5.6K, totally playable. Evans/Godwin are practically equally priced, but taking out the game Evans hurt himself, he has a great target share, 25.24% to 21.84%, and a much better aDOT of 13.31, to 8.82 --- if you want to take Godwin, go for it, but Evans is the bigger ceiling/upside player, and I'll be more overweight him. I'll just mention palmer, since truly taking over the role week 3, he has an 11% target share, with an aDOT of 13, so maybe one-off him if mass entering and possibly game stacking this game, not sure if I will. I'm obviously a fan of Otton if you read this thread, he is T-3rd in routes ran per dropback among TEs, he is cheap, he plays almost every snap, but he just isn't seeing many targets with a 12% target share, and an ok aDOT of 5.83, if you want to use him in a game/team stack ,that's fine, idk if I'd one-off him though.

Singletary had 12 opps (2 targets) on 40% of snaps, if he is projected to be more of the bellcow he can be played at 4.3K, not sure I do though because I hate the matchup, and if he doesn't get 3+ targets he might suck it up, but I get it. Last week Collins/Dell/Brown all played 72 to 78% of snaps without woods. Collins led in both target share, 25%, and aDOT, a massive 16.17 --- he did fail in a popular smash spot, and if that scares people I'll be overweight, however... I have interest in Brown as well.. .he is 3.1K and had a 21% target share and a 10 aDOT. I will not be playing Dell as he was bottom in all 3 categories, but still expensive relative to the others. (17%/5.25). I am torn on Schultz because HOU is missing their TE2 and 3, and last week he hit 21% of targets, but he is the 5th priced TE, and had a terrible aDOT of 1.4 --- I think I'm fading, but not totally sure yet.


Sunday 4PMs/Main Slate (Cont.)

IND/CAR


Colts have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Panthers have a good P/RB matchup.
Minshew has a good pressure rate situation. Taylor has the best main slate run potential.
Young has a meh pass potential. Chubba? has a meh run potential.
Colts TTR is 4th (good).
Panthers TTR is 11th.
Pace of play is 1st (good). O/U Ranked is 2nd.

- Injuries - IND - On D, CB Flowers (100%) out for 4th week, CB Brents (90%+) is out, LB Franklin (100%) is doubtful, S Thomas (100%) is Q. On O, WR Downs is Q, T Smith is out.
- CAR - On D, LB Houston (42%), LB Gross-Matos (50%), S Chinn (52%) are all out (CB Horn/LB Thompson have been out), and S Bell (100%) is doubtful, CB Jackson (84%) is Q. On O, WR Chark is Q.

A ton of defensive injuries on both sides, with a game that has great pace, and a ton of value options. Yes please.

It looked like something happened to Taylor right before half, but apparently all parties say he is fine... he still played his season high 61% of snaps, and I will be going right back to him this week. Downs continues to be the odd man out for me in this offense, with Minshew he has a 23% target share, with a 7,89 aDOT, those are ok numbers, but there are people around his price with more upside imo. While Pittmans aDOT is only a bit better at 8.28, he has a much better target share at 28%, I don't really care for his price, but I'll use him in game/team stacks. I'll say pierces name again, because he is due for a HR hit, he has just a 14% target share, but his aDOT is big at 15.29 and he is almsot floor priced. CAR has a ton of injuries, maybe today is the day? The TEs here are a crapshoot, pass.

Hubbard has officially been announced the started and is averaging about 72%~ of snaps the last 2 games --- my concern is he still has just an 18.5~ opp avg, with just 1.5 targets/g, he is just 5K so he is obviously playable, but I'd like to see a higher PPR floor. I've obviosuly been fading Thielen for ages, and it has bit me all year... but he is now an absurd 7.5K on DK --- this has been in a stir, because this is the week to fade that price, but this is also the week he will be his lowest owned... and he has broke 30+ points in DK (which is 4x+) atleast 3 times already.... not sure what I do with him just yet... but I will have me some Mingo, in games with him and Young, he has just a 17% target share, but a good aDOT of 11.5, chark is Q, and colts have been burned my perimeter WRs all year... he is in the 3Ks... taking my chances here. Hurtst is cheap enough, and colts have been bad to TEs, but he just has an 11% target share with Young, so I don't know if you have to go here outside of game stacks.

NYG/LVR

Giants have a great RB matchup, good P matchup.
Raiders have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
D. Jones? has a meh pressure rate situation, and a bad pass potential.
Garop has a great pressure rate situation, but a bad pass potential.
Giants TTR is 17th (meh).
Raiders TTR is 12th (meh).
Pace of play is 10th, O/U Rank is T-9th (last/bad).

- Injuries - NYG - On O, TE Waller is out/K Gano are out. But Ts Thomas/Neal are Q, best news they've had all year at that posiiton?
- LVR - On D, LBs Deablo (80%+)/Masterson (62% last week)/Mauga(back up LB) are all out, and LB Spillane (98%) is Q. On O, T Munford is out, FB Johnson is out.

Barkley has seen 3 straight games of increased snaps since his return, and is coming off the biggest opp performance of the year (I believe) with 41 (5 targets) --- now I don't think he gets there, but even the 2 prior weeks he averaged 22.5 carries/4.5 targets --- He is going to have the best Oline sicne his return, as well as danny half-a-penny back... I think he is in an absolute smash spot for a Raiders D that is severely hampered at the LB position. Weeks 4/5 is probably the most similar comparison this offense has had in regards to jones/wr core, in those 2 games Robinson had a 20% targets share, but a poor 2.5 aDOT, Slayton was the deepest aDOT candidate, both of these guys also played 80%/99% of snaps respectively last week, oh and this is the first week Wallers 22.5% target share is now missing.... I think both Slayton/Robinson are good almost floor priced options.

I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with Jacobs, but I'd have to think this new coach wants to get him and Adams involved early and often... and either way, Jacobs has been a workhorse, going over 20+ opps in 5 of his games, and not seeing lower than 4 targets since week 1, I think he is an ok play solely because he probably doesn't get scripted out --- and I do think they play from behind. If you take out week 2 when Meyers did not play, Adams/Meyers are both 90%+ snap guys, but adams leads in target share, 30% to 24.5%, and aDOT, 11.13 to 10.3 --- while I think you can go in either direction, I much rather go to adams. I'll note, renfrow saw 61% of snaps last week, had a 19% target share, with an ok aDOT of 7.5, he is floor priced, which you can't really find anywhere. I don't think Mayer is a bad punt/salary saver option, as he really has become the starter in the last 3 weeks, where he has had a good aDOT of 9.08, coming over a 90%+ snap game... imo worth a one-off if you want.

DAL/PHI

Cowboys have a good P matchup, bad RB matchup.
Eagles have a meh RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Dak has a good pressure rate situation and a good pass potential. Pollard has a meh run potential.
Hurts has the worst pressure rate situation. Swift has a good run potential.
Cowboys TTR is 7th.
Eagles TTR is T-1st (good).
Pace of play is 14th (meh/last), O/U Rank is 1st.

- Injuries - DAL - On D, 2nd week without LB Vander Esch (88%). On O, T/G Smith/Edoga are Q, TE Hendershott is out.
- PHI - On D, CB Roby (45%) is out for 2nd week, S Evans (100%) is out for 3rd week, and CB Maddox is still out. On O, RB Scott/TE Calcaterra are out, C Jurgens may? be returning.

I still want to believe in pollard, and I have said this for a couple weeks now, but Dallas loves to play in extremely positive or negative scripts that hurt true production by 2nd halves of games. I'm not going to be overweight, and this is obviously a tough run matchup, but I do think this game should be closer than most of their games, and he could be a sneaky tourney option. We know PHI should be attacked through the air, Dak has been really hitting a stride of late, and we just saw what Lamb can do in spike weeks. He is absolutely playable, I have a feeling I'll be underweight the field though, I do like Gallup, who actually has a better target share in games with Cooks while they both have virtually the same aDOT --- oh and he is cheaper. Ferguson seems to expensive for what he actually has been doing, but I know he does get a ton of RZ looks, so I get it... but even in games without Hendershot, he has just a 12% target share, and an ok aDOT of 6, his target share actually drops if you just look at his last 3 games, where he played his most dates to date... I'll pass.

I think Swift can do well any week, with slate breaking upside, but unless he hits a TD outside of the redzone, I think he will bust you more than boom you, so I'll pass. AJ Brown is having an MVP season, with a 31.5% target share and a great aDOT of 13.17, I won't talk anyone off playing him, as he is the #1 WR on the team with the #1 team total... Smith seems a bit expensive, but I can be convinced, he has a good aDOT too at 12.11, but his target share is just 22%. Goedert is too expensive for me to consider as a one-off, but I get it in game/team stacks, as he does have an 18% target share, but his aDOT is meh at 5.21, I'll mostly fade.
did it quicker, but 4pms done
 
Gotta love all things saints right? Kumara, Carr, olave all guys I want one way or another.

Not really thrilled colts have 2 backs in a game I want to play a running back! I love the colts here so think I might be on both backs. Taylor rush yards, tec yards, td, moss yardage total looks like cake if he gets 10 carry’s? You have thoughts on how colts splitting backfield @ScopeY ?

Just finished writing that one up, while I'm concerned with what happened to taylor going into half, and what transpired post halftime, you have to ride him until further notice.
 
Just finished writing that one up, while I'm concerned with what happened to taylor going into half, and what transpired post halftime, you have to ride him until further notice.

Can we trust moss continues to get 10 or so carry’s you think?
 
Got a legit lineup in distance... with Brown/Lamb remaining in WR/Flex spot ---- do I switch to pollard/barkley/adams...
 
Sunday Night/Showdown Slate

BUF/CIN


Bills have a great RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Bengals have a good RB matchup, meh P matchup.
Allen has a meh pressure rate situation, but a good pass potential. Cook has a great run potential.
Burrow has a meh pass potential.
Pace of play is 12th (meh).

- Injuries - BUF - On D, CB Elam (95%) is out for 2nd week, DT Jones (50%~) & LB Milano (90%+) are out for 3rd week, and CB White (90%) is out for 4th week. On O, no TE Knox/RB Harris still.
- CIN - On D, DT Tupou (29%) is out. On O, RB Mixon/G Scharping are Q.

Playing in a neutral to positive run script, and the first week without knox, Cook played a season high 67% of snaps, which was nice to see, as Murray was getting dangerously close to him in terms of usage. While he had just 15 opps, it was even worse when you see he only had 1 target, and Allen/Murray are vulture candidates but the matchup is good, I like the snap usage, and he is actually pretty cheap, so I don't hate going here. Shakir is way to cheap at 3.4K for what his usage is, as he played 65% of snaps, had a 15% target share, but actually led Diggs/Davis in aDOT at 8.83, I'll be overweight, again. While Diggs can obviously slate break, I think I'm going to be underweight, as he is priced at the top, and I wouldn't be shocked seeing any of the other 3 receiving choices beat him, plus it kind of blocks you from getting players like Chase. Kincaid played a season high 84% (rightfully so) of snaps last week, and had an 18% target share, 2 RZ targets... and the bengals are in the bottom quarter in FPs given up the position, I like it.

While Mixon does come in questionable, he consistently plays 75%~ of snaps, and has a safe ppr floor, I'm fine with playing him, the other backs really don't get much opportunity and aren't worth considering. Chase is a target monster and in games WITH higgins/boyd, he has a 31.5% target share... his aDOT isn't the best at 7.53, but we know he can YAC it too. While I like boyd, I feel like the gap in price isn't big enough with Higgins, I'd only consider it if I need the drop in salary from higgins to boyd... give me higgins with his 20% target share, and best aDOT on the team at 11.69. We have to find salary relief on this slate, and I think captaining one of the mid priced guys, could get you to take the big dogs, but you most likely need a punt option. Irv. Smith is #1, as he is the top TE on the team and is just 1.6K, but the WR4 Irwin or backup TEs in Morris/Sample would be where I go

Wrote up some quick commentary on night game.... gl all
 
Im sitting in casino parking lot trying to see what happens in this stupid oversees game cause I started sone things off with waddle, hill, Tua and don’t want to add if they live, lol
That play was awful.

First time I've gotten bit on props this year

Just means things are finally tightening up.
 
That play was awful.

First time I've gotten bit on props this year

Just means things are finally tightening up.

This the 1st week I’ve lost money since ncaa fb kicked off! I blame the Phillies for somehow blowing that series to snakes, I dropped quite a bit on that series bet, the bright side was I was so good with pitcher props from start of playoffs thru the nl and ALCS I still made money but the hit i took on that series still wasn’t pleasant!

Not only that but snakes somehow getting to WS must have cracked my crystal ball cause I went from having a pretty spot on read in bout 80% the playoff games to having no damn idea in WS! Started off game 1 I lost pitcher props for both starters which doubled the amount of pitcher prop A losses I had to fill that point, missed another pitcher prop on the Pfaadt kid who basically buried Phillies, he pitched deeper than I woulda ever guessed they let him and still didn’t cash his k prop, lost by one thanksto ump calling a obvious strike 3 ball 4 in the 5th!, I mean it wasn’t even boarder line, the entire ball caught the entire plate when they showed the overdhead view (not that it was even needed but certainly proved it was unquestionably a strike!) And it wasn’t one those strikes umpsoften miss cause pitcher misses the catchers mitt and crosses everyone up, it was literally the worst ball/strike call I ever seen given importance and situation. You think that be it but by some crazy miracle the manager sends him back out for the 6th even w seager leading off, he gets him and I’m thinking I might actually still pull this off as he been owning Garcia all night! Gets the Mfer 0\-2 and instead of burying him like he did every Philly barter he got ahead on w that sweeper, he overthrows the shit out of the 1st couple so wasted those pitches to even the count, then he throws high heat that he just didn’t quite get high enough up and Garcia fouled it off. He comes back with 2 nasty sweepers just off the corner and freaking Garcia spit on them to work a walk and end his night (had he thrown either those on the 0-2 or 1-2 pitch im almost positive garcia can’t lay off them!) making it the 3rd pitcher prop I lost in WS WHICH WAS MORE THAN ENTIRE REST THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

Luckily I did salvage one last nice payday on Eovaldi outs and k’s in the close out game, and got a bit of a break cashing his k’s only by him ending his start in style fanning last 2 batters he faced! I thought all was back right with the world even tho games 4 and 5 I missed a couple 5-6-7 teamers cause one stinking guy both days!! Still last Sunday I cashed a 7 team player prop parlay w 5 td scorers (mostly plus money) and two Qb 2+ tds, Just little beer money bet that paid close to 1k! 6 the bets were morning games and all that was left was Burrow ov 1.5 vs niners and didn’t even consider hedging! Maybe it was bad ju ju that I was actually more annoyed than happy thinking bout had I just put 20 on it how much it woulda paid instead of just being happy! Lol.

Anyways that allowed me to take anothef nice cash out after hitting Eovaldi props., left bout 300 in for this weekend as all year I have basically cashed out down to 2 or ; Hundo after the weekend and used that to make next weeks paycheck, plus allowed me to have plenty of cash for the bigger straight prop bets I make at casino! Ideally most years I would keep building the bankroll but this run came at a really good time as we only been getting 70% Theresa income from the disability insurance and did way less jobs than I normally do in fall cause I wanted to be with her for her daily treatments and all the dr appointments so I havnt been stacking a bunch of money and increasing my bet sizes aa we been using the money to pay bills, eat, and all that good shit that our incomes usually cover!

Then this weekend happened! I’m not sure bout thins tightening up so much as I just had this redic black cloud over my head as I found 100 new ways to lose what for the most part I graded as good bets after the fact!! I had a few stinkers in there but overall my book shows I absolutely shoulda made money Saturday. Just the 2 Sooners wrs alone I played 100+ Alt numbers that paid 5 and 6 to 1 who both had 95+ with Sooners getting 2 more drives and didn’t get either one a completion! Instead the little white boy caught so many he was well behind them before Gabriel decided to stop looking their way and feeding him to finish with 130 or some crap, probably why Sooners didn’t score and serves them right!

ere was mizzou qb with a number that was nowhere close to good if that clown Drink to much wasn’t such a conservative loser who didn’t have the guts to attack Uga and try to win but instead played keep game close opposed fo try and win which I think they could have. After a 90 yard 1st qrtr Drinkowitz completely took ball out his hands in the 2nd qrtr not competing one pas! Continued w that conservative bull shit til Uga got a lead and he still finished just 20 or so yards short!

There more! Not just sone bad beats but these assholes decided they were gonna do major construction either on the bridge next to my house Saturday, that been going on but Saturday the bridge was so backed up I couldn’t get to Illinios side quick enough fo play what of course turned out to be a easy winner! So I go for the downtown trip later in the evening and traffic was even worse and I missed a few note!

Not gonna cover the few other bad beats on Saturday but here a quick rundown of today. I messed Lamar passing yards to cash a 2-3-4 and 5 teamer, he shoulda hit it easy but ravens pull him after 3 qrtts!! Taylor hits his td and rec yards, has 40+ rushing at half and somehos colts literally have no yards In 2nd half! When does that happen? Even if Taylor gets pulled seems unlikely it be after half! Plus I had moss over 40+, he had 20 something at half, I Taylor gets pulled then why didn’t moss go ovsr east??? He had not another run after half either?

I dunno man, I skipped the night game, im
Doing a nice drug cocktail these next 3 days, not looking any numbers or spots, catching up on sleep, hanging w Theresa and watching some movies or a tv series and just recharging my batteries for a few days and will get shit turned around come Tuesday wed! Might even jump into a little nba to mix things up at end the week. All I know the run ain’t over, I graded 80% my plays as Solid kr better. I just need this black cloud that followed me all weekend to blow over!
 
Monday Night/Showdown Slate

LAC/NYJ


Chargers have a good RB matchup, bad P matchup.
Jets have a great P matchup, good RB matchup.
Herbert has a good pass potential. Ekeler has a meh run potential.
Z. Wilson has a meh pressure rate situation. Hall has a meh run potential.
Pace of play is T-5th (good).

- Injuries - LAC - On D, DT/LBs Joseph-Day (57%)/Murray (98%)/Kendricks (84%) are all Q, They may be returning DT Ogbonnia. On O, obviously no WRs Williams/Palmer, but they may be returning WR Guyton.
- NYJ - On D, DT Woods (38%) is out, On O, C McGovern (89%)/G Vera-Tucker (60%)/G Schweitzer (20%)/T Brown (24%) are all out, they only have 2 Olineman that were week 1 starters (Beckton/Tomlinson). WR Lazard is Q.

Since Ekeler's return he's averaging 66%~ of snaps, 19.6 opps (5.33 targets/g), That's a good floor/ceiling combo as any in this showdown. I do believe the more likely outcome is a neutral to positive run script though which kind of makes me think Kelley could be a sneaky option in just a couple lineups at 2.6K, but he has no ppr upside, and can obviously dud you. In the 4 weeks without Mike Williams, Allen/Palmer/Johnston played as WR1a/WR1b/WR3, 27%/20%/10% target shares, and 11.57/12.85/15.08 aDOTs. Now 20% of those targets need to be dispersed with no palmer, Unfortunately Guyton isn't listed in the player pool, but Johnston is just 3.6K and seems like a must selection. If Guyton isn't the guy, Fehoko/Davis were the guys who stepped in last week --- I'd go Fehoko first. Parham and Everett see redzone targets (7 combined in the weeks without williams) so they can always be viable, but there aDOTs have been less than desirable, and the target shares are even low... I'd go parham over everett due to price, but not in love with either unless you think most of palmers targets get dispersed this direction.

Hall was unleashed 3 games ago, and he is averaging 15~ carries, and 5.66 targets/g, never seeing lower than 3... I think he is definitely a volume/safe play with upside that can be considered. If Lazard suits up, him and wilson own the 2 WR sets, and I have no problem going either way as there prices are so gapped, but so is there target share. Cobb is expected to suit up, and somehow he is min priced, and averaging 50%~ of snaps... I expect them to be playing from behind, and having to make short to intermediate throws, and will be actually buliding most lineups with him -- Gipson/Taylor were the guys to split time last week w/o cobb, so if mass entering, maybe switch cobb to one of these guys in a lineup, but if Lazard is out they also see boosts too --- all are min priced. Conklin/Uzomoah/Ruckert all see snaps, while Conklin is the pass catching one, he isn't floor priced like rucket/uzomoah --- it is a weird slate because aside from Wilson/Hall --- then Lazard/Conklin, all of the jets options are $200..... so again, if mass entering, feel free to take a shot on uzomoah/ruckert as a pivot off cobb, but cobb is definitely the priority of the punt plays.

I'm leaning towards 4-2/5-1 charger stacks mostly.

Care to explain what you mean by "I'm leaning towards 4-2/5-1 charger stacks mostly." ? Sorry I'm still trying to understand your lingo. thanks

Please ask away.... it is in relation to the lineups I'll be building in showdown slate for Draftkings. Look to play 4 to 5 chargers players and 1 to 2 jets in most lineups
 
I’m taking night off but I love this play and since I’m not playing it shouldn’t have the black cloud that been hanging over my head all weekend so thought I’d share! I swear If I was betting it I wouldn’t suggest anyone else did, lol.

Hall ov 19.5 rec yards.

This should be a slam dunk for real. All a sudden chargers d has finally stopped being pushovers against rushing attacks but not their pass d ranks down at bottom the league and far less talented backs than hall have cruised way past this number. I didn’t look at the Alt numbers cause I hardly every play rec alr numbers for rb’s but damn I could see him getting 40-59 easy, hell as talented he is I could see him taking one to the house from anywhere on the field! Believe me now and thank me later, Hall ov 19.5 rec yards is gonna cash! If you can get +350 for him to go 50+ I say take a shot!!!

Anyways I hope some ya’ll make some money on this one, wish I could but I seriously feel like If I played it he would prob break his leg very early! Lol. Im not usually the superstitious type but the way I had plays loss all weekend, not just a crappy bet or a bad beat but some the strangest shit I sesm
In 30+ years of doing this! Not to mention I have had all kinds of other very strange, annoying, off the wall crap happen to me all weekend to the point im thinking bout locking myself in a room for a day or 2 and hoping this shit moves on to bother someone else! I got enough problems without unexplainable phenomenon hassling me!! I seriously would feel a little better knowing I gave few of ys’ll a winner tho!!! Gl everyone
