2020 Fantasy Football sit/start - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Everyone's favorite thread where we ask each other which painful starts we have to make all year

Week 1 is always a doozy especially with no preseason and only going off of "beat writer" reporting which is just lol

List scoring type, opponents, leans, fun giphys, you know the drill

This will be fun. For week 1, I'm probably just slotting my guys in the sequence of drafting and letting them go. Tough plays following that strategy would be something like Jonathan Taylor, as you have no idea how that'll split. Although RBs drafted behind him likely have as many question marks or they’re handcuffs. If Taylor is RB2, you probably have to roll it. But if I’m deciding between or a proven receiver I took a round later for flex, probably going with the receiving.

I definitely don't want to get too cute thinking a receiver I took in the 10th is going to outperform the receiver I took in the 6th in week 1. Trust the draft EV value!

2 Flex (r/w/t) to fill out of the following:

Diontae Johnson
Jonathan Taylor
Kareem Hunt
Brandon Cooks
Chris Thompson
John Brown

if I go by draft position I'm starting Taylor and Hunt, but they're all pretty close imo.

.5 PPR

Sit one

DJ Moore vs LV
Thielen vs GB
Ridley vs Sea
Woods vs Dal
Fuller @ KC

I'm guessing Fuller is the clear choice? I have Watson if that makes any difference.

Yeah, I’d take Fuller off, but his boom appeal is certainly juicy. I’d say he has the lowest floor of the 5.

Maybe an argument to sit Woods in half PPR.

Another argument for Fuller is that Cooks might not go.

Good point. If cooks sits I think I'll probably sit Woods. Maybe if Watson/Fuller go off I can change that to sit the lowest floor guy? I feel like all season I'm going to have a tough choice with this team.

full PPR:

hayden hurst vs SEA
ny hines vs JAX
JK Dobbins vs cle (but also starting mark ingram)
darrell williams vs hou

these are my flex options until deebo comes back

im leaning to just do the dobbins/ingram stack. but hurst should get the most volume. and williams could split early on with CEH as they ease them both in?

I like Hurst, but I wouldn't blame you for going the Ingram/Dobbins stack in week 1 just lock up the backfield. It does limit your ceiling though, IMO.

I wouldn't consider Hines. Williams is borderline due to the fact there is no way to predict usage, but he could certainly get 10-15 touches and find the end zone as CEH gets eased in.

I was leaning Cooks but he's questionable at this point for Thursday Night.
I think I'm leaning Taylor because the JAX matchup seems perfect for the Indy offense even if its an RBBC. I feel like he could get 15 touches whereas Hunt I'm not sure what to expect yet.

I need a PPR flex and this will be a sick decision all year.

Chubb @ Ravens (meh)
Keenan Allen @ CIN (meh)
Higbee @ DAL (hmmmm)
Slayton vs Pit
Pittman vs Jax (not really considering it, yet)

With some luck Ingram is hurt soon and this will just be Dobbins all year. Higbee might be mad sneaky there.

Probably Allen, but I wouldn’t blame you for going Higbee. I think those are your top 2 options.

Might as well flip a coin, but I guess I lean Diontae since we have no idea how that NE backfield will look.

At least you know Diontae will get some targets.

I don't like either lol. I'll be impressed if JB gets more than 5-6 targets. The Bills will probably roll the Jets and be super run heavy.

Even injured, I think Cooks has a chance for 10+ in a shootout. What he does with those, who knows? I have Cooks in another league, and I have to play him. I don't feel great about it, but I still think I'd play him over JB.

Texans -9.5 dogs so they'll be throwing. Game O/U of 54.

Bills -6.5 favorites. Game O/U of 39.5.
