- If you're asking a question, it'd be nice if you gave answers on someone else's question at the same time. Thread works better when there's more feedback all around

- Please list the opposing team for your players, and if pertinent, timings of games. Matchups matter, as do timings - it is not unusual to have something where you're asking two out of three players, one playing early and the others playing late, and it then becomes obvious to say something like "play the early player, then pick one of the other two dependent on reasons". Similarly if we are in a week where there are London/Germany games, knowing if someone will go early and maybe influence later decisions is important

- List pertinent scoring. If I'm deciding between Kirk Cousins and Anthony Richardson, whether it is 4 or 6 points for a passing touchdown might be relevant. The league being PPR would not be

- Cut to the chase. Don't ask us "start three from four between Justin Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Hollywood Brown and Zay Flowers" because nobody in the world is benching JJ. Keep questions as simple as possible. Same goes for "pick my RB2 between x and y, starting CMC as RB1" types of posts, that's BBV "look at me I have McCaffrey" level posting

- Do mention if you are projected as a favourite or underdog, if you need upside or floor etc, different players have varying EV and variance and we need to know if you have to gamble or not. On a similar related note, it may be useful if you are deciding between two players to know if your opponent has a correlated player, if he's dependent on Hockenson and we have an edge, it might swing us to pick Cousins over, say, Rodgers to mitigate their upside

- If your player is questionable for a game then it is very useful to mention it. This is especially pertinent if your player is not playing in the 1pm EST series of games and might be a game time decision. While you'd like to think that we're all on the ball on terms of understanding who might not go, it is easier to eliminate doubt if you can

That's a bit wall of texty, but will hopefully give pointers to give more useful feedback for everyone. With that said, gl hf everyone gogogo

TLaw, imo.

I wanna at least see Jayden play one pro game before I trot him out there over a vet with a pretty decent floor.

Pittman. I could see a shootout in which he is a beneficiary. Of course AR could just rush for 200yds instead.

Rashee Rice vs Baltimore

Drake London vs Pittsburgh

.5ppr, team is projected as a decent favorite if that impacts anything

London.

Start 1 in 6 point TD, -2 INT

Hurts vs GB
Stround @IND

I am starting saquon, josh jacobs & AJB in the hurts games and my opponent has nico colins if that matters. I think my matchup this week is a coin flip.

2 needed of these 4:

Spears @CHI
Z. White @ LAC
Edwards vs LV
Meyers @ LAC

Leaning White and Meyers. Thoughts?

I'm a slight dog in my matchup.

White for sure

I've got Gus ahead of Meyers in non-ppr. In ppr it's close, but still Gus.

If you can't start London here, probably shouldn't have drafted him.

I have this TE group in PPR. Dumb or gamble gamble wanting to play Likely?

Likely @KC
Schultz @Ind
Jonnu vs Jax
Mayer @Lac
Sinnott @TB

Projections will say Schultz, but he's just not inspiring competing for targets against those Texans WRs.

UD Pick'em lines slightly favor Rice.

That's gross. Really tough to gauge across positions in w1, but I think both should have good weeks. The Ari coaches have continued to talk up Conner in a big role all offseason. And Rice is Rice.

My WRs are Chase, Puka, London, Nico, Rice, Flowers. I’m inevitably gonna have some tough calls. I can only start 4 of them
