This is a point where if you follow Fantasy ROS projections you can dominate the wire. While people are looking at next weeks' matchup you can get the hot add 3-4 weeks away in the playoffs... guys like Hoyer and Bortles will be huge pointwise.

The good news, I have Rawls (and manged to snag Allen (Ravens HB) from waivers now that Starks lost #1 again.
The bad news, I've now lost all 3 drafted running backs.
Updated lists for cursed team, in memoriam
Bell (ACL)
Foster (Achilles Tear)
Smith Sr. (Achilles Tear)
Edelmen (Broken Foot)
Lynch (Sports Hernia)
Floyed(Picked up three weeks ago, will most likely be out this week also, 1/3 start)
Also I have a good feeling having Eli is going to pay huge dividends near the end of the season as they scramble to get into the playoffs as Brady has basically lost anyone to throw to for the rest of the regular season.

People should have added Rawls awhile ago....especially if you owned beast mode.
MickeyPhree

He has the Browns and the Dolphins. Two decent match ups. Schedule is really tough after that. He'll get volume, but with Schaub throwing the ball and questionable options in the receiving core, there's no reason he should have been taken over Rawls.
Seems pretty foolish.
i snagged buck allen in my league, person used number 1 waiver on spencer ware

With Forte coming back for Chicago next game is the consensus to not play Langford?

I managed to pick up Ware for $1 in FAAB. I have West so it's solely a handcuff but was surprised I could have basically got him for free. Going #1 waiver on him, woof. West should keep his role despite Ware going off, so Ware is a streamer at best. Good move for you though.

If you have better options probably best to just wait and see. Maybe at best see a 60/40 snap count Forte/Langford. Who knows at this point though.

I got Rawls, Doug Martin, Jonathan Stewart, and DeMarco Murray. Who's going in? All of them have shown the ability to go ham on certain weeks so I'm not sure who to put in.

1. Rawls - RB focused offense, is getting a lot of work in and out of redzone
2. Martin - so many yards
3. JStew - on a highly successful team
4. Murray - lol eagles

So is it safe to drop Beast Mode or is there a slim chance he is back before week 16?
RedNalgene
Member
I'm going to hang onto him just in case. They are saying a month, which means he might be back right at the end of the fantasy playoffs.
I'm in a bit of a weird position for my team. I've got Luck, Bradford, Osweiler at QB right now. Who knows if Luck will be back, but I can't drop him. Bradford is, well, Bradford. He's back this week, but I have 0 confidence in him, so I think I'm going to start Osweiler against NE. If Bradford plays well this week maybe I'll start him next week. But I'm feeling like I should grab another QB for the playoffs, just in case this poopoo platter doesn't work out. Who has the most upside for the playoffs between Hoyer, Tannehill, Fitzpatrick, Winston, Cutler, Alex Smith, or Hasselback?
Crazymoogle
Member
There's a chance he's back Week 16, but I think it's totally safe to drop him unless you don't have anything better for the bench space. It's entirely possible he's not well enough to start that week, or Rawls is good enough they don't rush him back, or they are out of the playoffs and it doesn't matter.

I put Rawls and JStew in. Martin did so well last week but JStew is just more consistent.
Now should I put Whitten or Bennett in for TE. Whitten has been disappointing me lately and pretty much all season but so has Bennett. I should grab a different TE if I can I think.
I added him and then dropped him before last week.
Thought lynch was fine and going to play...Crazymoogle
Member
Witten has a chance now that Romo is back. Bennett is just DOA in that offense.
Okay so I'm in the same position as a lot of you now. I had Forsett, was able to grab Allen this week. So now my RBs are Ingram, Martin, and Allen. I'm putting in Ingram for sure (I think), but I'm torn on who to put in the other slot. Martin has had some really great weeks and some really poor weeks, but I also have no idea what Allen is going to do.
Help..?
Help..?

OK, I need assistance.
I have Tom Brady. He plays Denver.
I have the Denver D. They play Brady.
I have Cam and Atlanta D as backup. I basically have a round robin of options here. My gut tells me to bench Brady and the Denver D, since it's a total trap game for my team either way. How would you guys proceed?

Man, I'm sitting here looking at my RB situation for this week and I don't feel good:
Langford
Ingram
Lacey
Starks
Gore
Langford is of questionable value with Forte back
Gore is banged up (and awful)
Starks shit the bed when he had the chance to take the starting job.
Obviously Ingram is a go. Lacey had what I hope was a breakout game last week, but he is playing on Thanksgiving night. I'm afraid the big fella is gonna be all fucked up on turkey legs and tryptophan!

Almost same position as mines.
Ingram is consistent so Start him.
If you can, put both in with either Martin or Allen as Flex. If not, go with the hot hand: Martin.

Heh.. I was able to grab Javorius Allen, Thomas Rawls, and Crockett Gillmore in one waiver week. I'm scratching my head as to how that happened.
Need help with my lineup now, lol.
RBs I have: Rawls, Allen, DeAngelo Williams, Darren McFadden, and Doug Martin.
WRs: Julio Jones, Brandin Cooks, Emmanuel Sanders, and Kamar Aiken
TE: Barnidge and Gillmore
Leaning towards starting Rawls and Martin at RB and Jones/Cooks at WR with Sanders in flex (if healthy). Barnidge gets start at TE.
Smart way to go? Wish I could start everyone.

I'm benching Denver, but only because I also have Kansas City.

Ben Watson is the best choice out of all of those.
I think I've convinced my league to do this next year.
Wellington

Tyrod vs KC
Tannehill vs NYJ
Hoyer vs NO
I am leaning towards Hoyer.
Also wtf am I doing with my flex.
I have these RBs/WRs, current starters are in bold
Gurley
L. Miller
J Hill
V. Jackson
Megatron
Willie Snead
Davante Adams
TY Hilton
Cecil Shorts
Tre Mason (Just dropped Joique Bell for the security of having Gurley's handcuff, even tho it would automatically become a split with Cunningham)
Who do I play in my flex. Yes it's 3 WR, 2 RB and flex. I've had Hill in there all season.
My TE is Jordan Reed.

Brady or Stafford?
Any other week or situation this year...easy Brady.
This week Brady is in Denver, down to practice squad receivers (I guess no Amendola, for sure no Dobsen). Meanwhile Stafford is at home against the Eagles who have been getting torched through the air.
Against the ECR - I am currently planning on Stafford.
Also sitting Dez (playing A Rob and Calvin in stead)

Forte (assuming he plays) or Langford for FLEX? I hate this. Or do I just play it safe and go with Martavis Bryant?

I have Run DMC and Stewart starting at RB
I have Yeldon and Chris Johnson too.. Should I keep them in or switch one or both out?

I would go the safe route and go with Bryant. No one knows how they are going to split the carries with Forte and Langford. Langford wasn't exactly dominant last week either to keep a majority.
Doug Heffernan

Lafell, he's the only WR left on the Patriots.
Wellington

Out of those options I would go Snead. The Cowboys run D is not great and I expect a huge dose of Stewart/Tolbert/Cam
I hope you played Stafford. I would definitely sit Dez against Josh Norman. He has been RIDICULOUS all year and has gone on record saying he can't wait to shadow Dez.
Bryant by a mile dude.
Monitor the Run DMC injury situation. He is not 100%. I personally think you have the right two guys in, but SD @ Jax could become a track meet.
Lafell. JJ's production is too unpredictable.
Rawls by a mile.

I have two spots left on my team. My options:
Jordan Reed vs. Giants
Crockett Gilmore @ Browns
Devin Funchess @ Cowboys
Kamar Aiken @ Browns
DukeHyou Johnson Jr. vs. Ravens
notes: Reed is playing through a knee sprain.
thoughts?

Well two good calls so far - played Stafford and Calvin....opponent has Eagles D. Great start. I really want to play Dez over B Marsh now - makes watching the games so much more fun, but I know it isn't the right call. Can also flex in L Miller

Help on my flex spot. Sammy Watkins or Jeremy Langford. I'm leaning Watkins even though he's so unpredictable. Just don't know what the Bears will do tonight with Forte and Langford.
