Week 15 Start/Sit (Semi-Final Round)

[Gorgolon Lives]

Congrats to everyone who made it to the semi's.

I have a bunch of questions this week, but I will start off with this:

Pick 3 (PPR)

Graham
Dez
Gordon
Keenan
Vareen

My rule is always to start your high draft picks instead of playing the hot hand. But this year, some of these hot hands have become studs.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Extremely tough call, Gorg... Gonna need some time to over-analyze this.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Start 2:

Z Stacy
S Vareen
A Brown


Start 1:

Stafford
R Willson


Start 3:

H Douglas
J Jones
R Cooper
M Crabtree

 

[ScopeY]

ya that's ridiculously hard, dez was my worst scorer last week

I think I do first 2 jump, I'd probably go stafford, but don't mind wilson, then im not sure about the 3rd, maybe bench crabtree? or jones, let's see rodgers situation too


Do I obviously try to snag pitta since gronk went down? have cook on the bench too, pretty upset

pick 3 again

dez
edelman
desean
hartline
amendola

thats my order too fyi


In my other,
pick 2

witten
davis
montee ball? .25 ppcarry and 1ppr

pick 3 (shittyish I know)

ace sanders
garcon
wright
michael flloyd

 

[Lloyd Braun]

League 1:

Have Shady and Charles, Pick 1 for 3rd RB:

Gio Bernard
Ben Tate
Ryan Mathews

Pick 3:

Alshon
Michael Floyd
Nate Burleson
Emmanuel Sanders

League 2 (0.5 ppr):

Pick 3:

Jamaal Charles
Lamar Miller
Woodhead
Deangelo Williams
Ogbonnaya

Pick 3:

Andre Johnson
TY Hilton
Torrey Smith
Tavon Austin
Kendall Wright

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Start 2:

Z Stacy
S Vareen
A Brown


Start 1:

Stafford
R Willson


Start 3:

H Douglas
J Jones
R Cooper
M Crabtree

Tough call with QB. Wilson has a dream match up with against NY. But Stafford has been almost matchup-proof this year, where Wilson has had some duds.

Pick 3:

Andre Johnson
TY Hilton
Torrey Smith
Tavon Austin
Kendall Wright

Tough with the final choice. Andre and Torrey, for sure. But coin flip on the others...Austin might be hurt.

[Tide High]

Not one post with matchups and it's Tuesday. I'll report back later.

 

[Smokedawg]

Made the playoffs with a squad that had no business making it and playing the best team in the league who won't stop running his mouth. Would really like the W.

non ppr pick 3

Jennings vs KC
Tate @ indy
gerhart vs philly
Ray rice @ DET
rainey vs sf
joique bell vs balty
Donald Brown vs houston
woodhead vs den

yes I have 8 running backs that all suck

Pitta

Brady

Nicks
Burleson

 

[ArizonaKid]

Help...need 5 including 2RB and 1 TE from:

Gerhart ( have AP but not looking good)
L. Bell
Rainey
Tate
Todman
Fitzgerald
Tamme
Pitta
Douglas wr (vs Skins)

Thinking gotta go Gerhart and Fitzgerald for sure and if MJD is for sure out then Todman.

Don't like Rainey this week and Bell has a tough matchup but is assured 20 touches. Thinking Tamme over Pitta at TE while Douglas is up against a soft Skins secondary but Tate is up against a Colts D that is soft vs the run but can the Texans keep it close and not revert to throwing from behind ?

Also have Willis Mcgahee vs a soft Bears run D but he doesn't look likely to play.

Was even thinking Rivers over Brees as the Chargers should have to throw from behind but am sticking w/ Bree's in a road dome game.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I've narrowed my choice down to this (PPR):

Keenan Allen @ Denver
or
Dez Bryant vs. Green Bay

Answers in bold. I'm not sure Gerhart will play this week. Even if he does, he'll be prone to reinjury to his hamstring..

 

[D-Woww]

Two questions for this week

1 league: QB is Brady. Am I insane to want to start either Matt Ryan or Kurt Cousins over him? I really think Brady is in for a bad week. He had 8 points earlier this season vs the Dolphins without Gronk, and that was a home game.

Other league, need to know who to start at my flex:

Amendola
Pierre Thomas
DaRick Rogers


Amendola is very ehh...inconsistent and prone to injury. Pierre is playing a tough run d, and u never know when Ingram or Sproles is gonna steal a td...

am I crazy to lean DaRick?

 

[Tide High]

monte ball over gio and rainey?

 

[Tide High]

tamme over jordan cameron? ppr

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I don't know if it's cold feet or what, but I'm cooling a little bit on Tamme tonight over anyone good. Yes, he'll be on the field, and the Broncos will be slinging it around and all that, but … he's not Wes Welker, he's Tamme. And the usual lot of ways to spread the ball around on the Broncos. I wouldn't start him over Cameron, Tide. In fact, contradicting what I said in that other "replacing Gronk" thread, I think I'm now leaning back toward Pitta (picked up both). Good luck with your choice!

 

[ArizonaKid]

Agree you gotta go w/ Cameron over Tamme, but I would go Tamme over Pitta. Tamme will basically be a slot WR you get to play at TE and he has shown good chemistry w/ Manning when on the field and produced.

Also think Tamme will start next week as well as I don't believe the Broncos risk Welker until the playoffs start.

Think if MJD sits the next 2 weeks you will see Tamme and Todman be the guys that come out of nowhere and propel many fantasy teams to Titles.

 

[Tide High]

thanks guys. i can over think things and make some stupid moves trying to be smart so i'm glad y'all weighed in.

 

[Al Burna]

benjarvis again? over todman,rainey,gerhart?

 

[Tide High]

Godamnit! I knew Caldwell was the guy

 

[tipyerbartender1]

For the record, I was all ready to bench Tamme until Arizona Kid changed my mind with fateful post #23.

 

[barmeezee]

Fuckin woodhead wtf

 

[reNew Orleans]

kaep @ tb
cutler @ cle

50 passiing yards = 1 pt
.25 per comp.
10 rushing yards = 1 pt

 

[KowboyKarl]

kaep @ tb
cutler @ cle

50 passiing yards = 1 pt
.25 per comp.
10 rushing yards = 1 pt

I'd roll with Cutler.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Non-PPR

Gerhart
or
Vereen

 

[Al Burna]

i got lamar miller and rashard.jennings along with benjarvis,rainey,gerhart,todman,mjd,and peterson..so who do i fill in for mjd and peterson?

 

[ArizonaKid]

For the record, I was all ready to bench Tamme until Arizona Kid changed my mind with fateful post #23.

Man wasn't watching pregame and not online to hear that news if it was even announced. Crushing blow for fantasy teams to get less than a point from the TE spot. Look for Pitta to go Josh Gordon on Sunday to really make me hate myself.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

No sweat, those are the breaks. Actually, in the league I started him, the other guy started Ladarius Green against me in the same game. So I'm into the weekend ahead, 0.9-to-0.

 

[Gyno]

someone help me out..


Here is my roster

QB: Rivers (He got 14 last night)
RB: AP,Lacy,Lamar Miller, Ellington,Ridley, Daniel Thomas, Ogbonnaya
WR: Marshall, Gordon, Torrey Smith, Amendola

DEF: Colts
K: Gano



Who should I start?


Really baffled.. AP and Lacy are both questionable.

 

[Gyno]

Opp team

QB: Alex Smith
RB: Moreno (4 pts)

[Gyno]

lacy may not start

 

[Gyno]

I would start cousins and ryan over brady.. Brady will probably have like 12-15 points..

Ryan Cousins should be in the 20s

 

[Gyno]

I'd start pierre thomas

 

[KowboyKarl]

lacy may not start

90% chance he starts, in my opinion... If you're concerned about it, drop Ridley and pick up James Starks (if available).

Lacy doesn't go and Starks unavailable (worst case scenario), start Ogbonnaya and Ellington.

 

[Gyno]

i picked up todman from jags right now.. he may start

 

[Gyno]

hope you're right about lacy

 

[KowboyKarl]

I'm with gyno... Potential shootout, I'd go Cousins or Ryan over Brady this week.

Go ahead, roll the dice with Da'Rick.

 

[Gyno]

da rick could give you a ton.. they probably want to see what they have in him.

bey drops too many balls.

 

[KowboyKarl]

I hope so too...all indications I'm seeing point to him starting.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

There's no chance I'm starting Cousins over Brady in a playoff matchup going in blind...
