Buf is the 8th ranked defense in my league. The one knock on them is that they haven't scored a TD all season.

Wash is on their fourth QB of the season, so I agree the Jags are a great play.

Weird, big yardage bonuses or something in your league? They are 22nd with standard Yahoo scoring.

I actually prefer Bears. Mullens has been pouring it on lately

Brees @CAR or Rivers @KC (6 points per passing TD)
Marlon Mack vs. DAL or Mark Ingram @CAR (Standard league)

I've got Barkley, Aaron Jones (@ Chi), Ware (vs Chargers), & Conner/Samuels (vs NE) ...

Obviously, not Barkley, but who do I sit??

I've got a similar situation, except I have DJ and not Barkley and I do not have Samuels. I also have Mixon.

In your spot, I'd run Barkely, Jones, Conner/Samuels.

In my spot, I'm going DJ, Mixon, Conner (if he plays). If not, I'll go Jones. I think I'll stay away from Ware on a short week versus a decent defense. But who really knows?

If Ware is healthy, I'd sit Jones. Chicago has top run D in the league so think Jones isn't going to get that many yards. Plus they've only given up 4 rushing TDs on the year, so odds of a rush TD are pretty slim.

Haven't used a waiver claim all year in one league. Finally going to grab Justin Jackson.

Then the question is (assuming Gordon/Ekeler out), who do I start for last flex spot in PPR. Already have Lamar Miller in RB and Conner/Samuels taking up a flex spot.

Justin Jackson @ KC
James White @ Pit
DJ Moore vs. NO
Kenny Golladay @ Buf
Gronk @ Pit

Thanks for the heads up.

But what else is there to do with it? Can't carry it over into draft position or anything.

It was "limited practice", and they've said he's a game time decision.

Guessing he probably sits, but have to wait till Thursday to see.

If he does sit, I think you have to start Jackson as Chiefs are bottom-3 run defense (and also bad at covering backs in the passing game).

If Gordon plays, I'd probably go White. Steelers are solid against the run, so expect Pats to go with more White and less Michel than normal.

Really need Ware to sit and Hill to give it a go, but realize he is hobbled and will get ready for next week instead.

My season came to an end this week in rd 1 of the playoffs. Turns out my team of:

Cousins
Keenan Allen
Golloday
Fournette
James White
Ertz
David Johnson
Maher
Denver

was 54 points worse than it was projected to be. yuck

Thanks for the insight this year. Best of luck to you all that are still in playoffs

How do you all prefer payouts in a 12 team league?

My dynasty league does the following and I'm interested in hearing opinions on why they are good/bad and why:

--tourney--
winner: 30%
2nd: 15%
3rd: 10%

--regular season--
high scorer: 27%
best record (points is tie breaker): 18%

The league I run has this as payouts. Since it is a $100 buy-in, it is best just to keep it in full units.

Highest scoring single week: 1 unit
Reg Season Champ: 2 units
Reg Season Runner-up: 1 unit
1st Place: 5 units
2nd Place: 2 units
3rd Place: 1 unit

Top 4 make playoffs.

I feel like Bears should be matchup proof, but this is a scary spot

Anyone? I am really leaning Rivers and Ingram but part of me thinks Mack is a better play. Dallas feels due for a let down game after basically winning the NFC East last week.

That's tough, as the Panthers suck. But Rivers has a sweet match up too. I think I might go Rivers.

I'd go Ingram (see above: the Panthers suck).

Dallas has been a top 5 team against RBs all season, and they are the top team against RBs the last 4 weeks in my league.

I also have a Rivers decision. Trying to decide if I stick with Rivers or if I go with Goff.

Also, pick 3 in PPR.

DJ @ Atl
Mixon v Oak
Conner v NE
Ware v LAC
A Jones @Chi

It's tough, because I want to play Conner if he plays, but I'm not sure if he is going to play. Do I play Ware with the work that Damien Williams stole last week?

I love Jones, but Chi is one of the top defenses against the run.

I also have Kerryon Johnson, but even if he goes, I don't think I want to play him.

Only 30% to the playoff winner seems low. In your scenario, I think I'd take the 10% from 3rd place and give it to the playoff winner.

My 8 man league pays $500 to the playoff winner, $100 to second place, and $200 to the regular season high scorer

My 10 man leagues pays $450 to the playoff winner, $150 to second place, $75 to the regular season high scorer, and $25 to the weekly high scorer throughout the regular season. So I guess technically 40% of our pot goes to regular season payouts, but it's more disbursed with the weekly high scorer payouts.

Just picked up West.
I have Gordon, Eckeler, and Kerryon for RB's. (Ingram is my only healthy one). Seriously thinking about starting Detrez Newsome or Charcandrick West. No idea who the better play is. Newsome is a pass catcher so I think he has good upside and Chiefs are horrible vs RB's. (opponent has J.Jackson)
