Man after Cooper just screwed me in my Championship match I'm going nuts deciding on my QB. I was going to go with Palmer but I'm sorely tempted to go with Cousins for his huge game upside. He hasn't done quite as well on the road but the Eagles D is really depleted right now, D Jacks will want revenge and both he and Reed have great chemistry with Cousins right now. Am I nuts for thinking of playing him over Palmer?

And why would I want them?
In the championship. Not sure if I should start Fitzpatrick or Rodgers. Rodgers hasn't done shit for me lately, but he might be due for a big game if he receivers can get open, which they haven't been able to do for shit. Leaning towards fitz but I'm conflicted.

Cooks or Jackson? Brees seems like he'll be iffy, and while Jackson is hit or miss, he really wants to stick it to Philly tonight

In the championship, I have Brees, what am I supposed to Do with this game time decision on a 4pm game. I can play Cousins or Fitzpatrick as well. I am thinking Brees would be such a huge gamble but of course he has by far the biggest upside and if healthy was the safest bet.
Cousins has a game tonight, no decision on Brees will be made by then. I am more afraid of Brees trying to play then come out after a few drives.
So what would you do?

Can't comment on Brees, but I'm making a call on Cousins over Fitzpatrick in my game.

Yeah I am leaning that way too, thanks guys.

Ugh. I'm waffling HARD. I want to bench Freeman for Kamar Aiken, but dammit Devonta

You can have your Gronkowski in the 1st. For my money best TE drafted in Fantasy is Jordan Reed, and I got him in the 7th round.

Kas would be proud if you do it.
Kas doesn't know what he's talking about.. And he'll go through a massive diatribe and I die a little inside when he does.

Chiefs.. No question

Feeling pretty smug right now. Way to early to know if I'll win, but I started the week projected in the hole and am out of it now.

Pick three: Julio Jones, Brandin Cooks, Emmanuel Sanders, Tyler Lockett, and Kamar Aiken
Currently have Jones, Cooks, and Lockett going.
Championship game. Sanders is my question mark as he has been spotty. I feel Lockett will get the looks and Cooks is hard to bench with Brees being Brees.

Real Talk Fatford has a better matchup than Fraudgers. Even though AZ doesn't have Honey badger
I picked Reed up as an FA after he was out on injury yet again...he was my Eifert (12th round) backup.
He has been really great the second half the season - then when I need him most in my championship game, he has his best of career.
I told my friend to play Cousins over Rodgers - looks like that was the right call.

Who to play.
Ted Ginn Car or AJ Green Cin
Deandre Hopkins or Doug Baldwin.
Green and Hopkins are injury free. But vs Den Defense and Houstons flaky QB.

They call me Big Boss and I ain't worried 'bout nothing. Reed did the Lord's work tonight.

Reed might've won it for me. Jackson only got me 8, and my opponent had fucking Ertz who had 24 just off dinks and dunks. It's too close!

Im in the championship in my league. Rolled the dice and picked up Cousins yesterday and started him over Russell Wilson who Ive been riding for weeks. Feels good man. Oh yea I have Jordan Reed too...
BronsonLee

I picked up Cousins but didn't start him - benched him for Cam. I mainly grabbed Cousins specifically so my opponent couldn't use him (he has Wilson too).
Don't be. Put the Bengals in.

I know.. And Rodgers really has been fraudgers lately with his performances. I am lucky I have dt and Johnson being awesome. I think I'm gonna put Fatford in. Surprisingly..
Also why is it that when I have Crabtree on the bench.. He goes off and amari gives me nothing. It's been like that for weeks where one has performed better on the bench than the other in my lineup.
Rant over.

Since Brees is starting, I -have- to start Cooks, right? My other choices are Kamar Aiken and Markus Wheaton. After DeSean kind of flopped I need a big run.

That's the logic I usually use. If projected to lose, gotta leverage up.
I benched Stafford about an hour before the WAS game, and thank god. Cousins already has me up 40.
Hope you rethought that

I'm projected to win by like 10, but it's close. Basically if Wilson or Johnson goes ham, I lose. If Cam or Denard go ham, I win.
Normally, I'd be pissed that I didn't start Cousins, but I grabbed him specifically to block, so it's fine.
Am I crazy for leaning towards playing James White over Gurley? It's a 1 ppr league and with Edelman and Amedola both out I think white gets at least 5 catches and lots of looks. Plus Gurley is going against Seattle in Seattle. What say you gaf?? ( My other running back is Denard Robinson as Ingram and Stewart have both gone down in the last couple weeks :/ )

I'm starting Artis-Payne over Gurley in one league. So nah not totally crazy.
Speaking of benching "studs", I wish I had some options in order to put Megatron on the bench. With Beckham suspended though, I have no depth. LaFell is the only somewhat viable replacement and he's hard to trust.
Call me crazy but almost considering benching him for Will Tye...

Cooks should be higher floor. If you're projected to lose and need a home run though, Ginn could make sense.
Hopkins and Baldwin if he plays.
You start your studs but Seattle is a touch matchup and White is definitely a plus for PPR. Fantasy pros ECR agrees with playing White this week (7 vs 14 or so).
Put this another way - St Louis might not have much of an offense at all today - while White will be integral to New England due to Edelman/Amendola/Lewis/Blount all out.
Play Megatron over Tye and Lafell - come on. I know he has been terrible lately but he is about due for a TD at least. At least Megatron CAN have a good game....those other two on their best day only hit megatrons average (last two weeks are an outlier I think).
Megatron is not the player he was, but still has size and hands, has 1000 yards and a 3TD game this season.
Hope you rethought that
I did not. still feel pretty good about stafford though, he's been solid these past few weeks and his match up is great.

The better question is LaFell or Tye...leaning to the latter. Need some Revis stats I guess...
AJ Green
Julio Jones
Emmanuel Sanders
Martavis Bryant
Gentleman, who do I start today? Bryant should get some solid #'s off of the Ravens defense. However, the QB/matchup situations with the other three are murky at best.
Thankfully after losing Andy Dalton a few weeks ago, I picked up Kirk Cousins. Paired with Jordan Reed, I have a healthy lead going into today. I'm undefeated in my league and this is the championship game. Help me GAF brethren.

Hmmm..Langford is in committee, and Wheaton is pretty steady. If it's PPR, Wheaton, I suppose?
Not PPR. Langford is projected for 2 points more but Wheaton has been trending strong while Langford is trending a little weak now that forte is back. I'm leaning towards Wheaton with how awful Ravens are and Ben is hot, but this is a still a rivalry matchup so I don't discount that.
