I got Amari Cooper vs the Jets (revis) or Stefon Diggs against da Bears. I would start Cooper but going up against the Jets makes me hesitant. And Diggs been performing great the last couple weeks. What do you guys think? John Brown is another option..hes been good too the last few weeks even though hes dealing with a hamstring
appreciate it guys! |
I like John Brown. Palmer's tossing it his way and neglecting Fitz, sadly. Cooper will be on Revis Island and Jets will be pissed after coughing it up against NE. Diggs is on a roll but he has Bridgewater at QB.

Guys, I'm on a freaking 5 game losing streak after winning my first 2. it's insane what is happening to me week in and week out. Went up against Lamar Miller (42 points) Todd Gurley (28) and Brady (32). Those 3 guys practically beat me by themselves.
I am middle of the pack as far as "points scored" goes... But I lead the pack in "points against" by over 150 points! It's becoming a running joke now in the league. We are wondering which players are going to have career days against me THIS week. 
Antonio Brown HOPEFULLY gonna start coming around. But Matt Ryan has been killing me. I picked up Fitzpatrick and MIGHT start him over Ryan soon. I haven't completely given up yet, but 2 more losses and I would need a miracle to make playoffs. What a crazy 1st half of the season it's been.

Brown oughta get back to his high level with Roesthlisberger coming back. Who's your opponent playing?

Me VS him
Matt Ryan vs Tannehill
Jonathan Stewart vs Leveon Bell
Chris Ivory vs Latavius Murray
Antonio Brown vs Megatron
Mike Evans vs Alshon Jeffrey
Eifert vs Eric Ebron
Frank Gore vs Jarvis Landry
Rams vs Seahawks
I have Fitzpatrick and Gio Bernard on my bench. Gonna be a close one I think. Hopefully the Pats can slow down the 'phins tonight, as much as that pains me to say.

Just watch. After the Lions fire their OC, Megatron becomes Megatron again so that CJ+Ebron=300+yds and 6TD's.  Seems to be the trend that you fire a coord and somehow that side of the ball takes a 180. From what I've been seeing in the Dolphins news, we want to go run-run-run against the Patsies with Miller/Gray so if that works out, Tannehill won't have to throw often and their D is fresh. But it's trending towards another loss unless you get a few surprises your way.

Yea man. My biggest issue is that I tend to overanalyze EVERYTHING. I've actually dialed it down a bit this season, but it still sucks. Looking at my projected points vs my actual, I have only met or exceeded the total once in 7 weeks. And that was by just 1 point. My opponents on the other hand , have exceeded their projected totals by a landslide EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. LOL. It's crazy

I would play Diggs here. John Brown probably won't even play this week. Cooper has had a slew of bad matchups and, to his credit, he's produced fairly well, including last week. But Revis is another step up in class. And I think Diggs is legit and clearly has become Minnesota's go-to WR. Even Mike Wallace went on record and spoke glowingly about him, so this is not a situation where he's upset with his role (in other words, even Wallace seems to know who "the guy" is). And Diggs is up against the Bears, a cake matchup for wide receivers. I'd ride the wave with Diggs. |

Seconded. Play Diggs. Jets is a tough matchup and Brown may not even play. Hasn't practiced yet. Ride the hot hand. |

By the way, whenever I'm 50/50 on who I should start, I like to lean on a tool on FantasyPros.com (the "Who Should I Start" tool). Basically, they curate over 100 experts' weekly player rankings and then tell you who those experts would play. And those experts are everything from small-time fantasy bloggers to the big guns at NFL.com, Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, Fox Sports, Fan Duel, Pro Football Focus, etc.
Anyway, here's what they said about your 3 players.
Stefon Diggs (68%) or Amari Cooper (32%)
Stefon Diggs (56%) or John Brown (44%)
Take that (and what we're saying) for what it's worth. |

I have a buddy that legitimately could have won tens of thousands of dollars today in the FanDuel Sunday Million contest. His lineup was unreal. He had Eli. He had Beckham. He had Diggs. He had Ben Watson. He had the Rams D. But he had...Le'Veon Bell. Just to show you guys how close he was to massive money, if he had simply played Gurley instead of Bell, he would be in a position where he would be due about 5K right now. If Bell doesn't get hurt and he somehow has a monster game--say a 30--he could have finished in the top 15 and been due tens of thousands of dollars.
Imagine hitting so massively on your QB-WR stack, hitting on other sleepers like Ben Watson, and being in position where you just need your big-money RB to do well to make legitimately huge money in a contest of over 250,000 people. And the RB gets off to a nice start and then gets hurt. I would describe his reaction today after seeing how it unfolded as crestfallen. He still is going to make about $500 ($25 entry for the Sunday Million contest) and he feels like he lost massively.
Brutal. |

Le'Veon Bell & Steve Smith lost to season ending injuries this week, and I lost.
Pretty bad week for my team...

Goodness. I have a team, thankfully in a league I don't care much about (aka non-paying) with Le'Veon, Forte, Keenan Allen, Steve Smith, Brandon Marshall, and everyone else not named Sanders, Eifert, Denver on bye (West, Chris Johnson, Palmer, DeAndre Hopkins, Hauschka, Graham, Blue). And my waiver position is 11.

| Start Chris Thompson (vs. NE) or Dexter Mccluster (vs. NO)? I need one of them to fill in for Forsett who is on a bye. Half-point PPR league. |

Probably Thompson. Washington is going to be throwing a lot, and Mariotta hasn't really looked McCluster's way. |

Melvin Gordon.
Is it a full PPR league? If so, I may lean Thompson as well, if not, probably Gordon on volume and opponent. |
