Week 11, make or break sit/start - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Do or die week for most of us.

PPR, need 1:

Ginn vs WAS
ADP @ HOU
J Williams vs BAL
R Matthews @ PIT

Have Ginn in so far, but can see an argument for any 4

Pick a defense:

PHI @ DAL
Den vs Cin

Been flip flopping on this one. The no-Zeke DAL looked awful, and Den has almost given up 100 points the last two weeks. Should be Philly, right?

I think J Williams gets better usage movieman. Ravens can be run on too.

ok posting this early because it's a ****ing nightmare. Wasn't able to make any trades to pair this mess down. .5 PPR

Pick 2 WR's, a flex, and 2 RB's from this mass of humanity:

Julio @ SEA
Smith-Schuster vs TEN
Engram vs KC
Fitzgerald @ HOU
Parker vs TB
Sanu @ SEA

Drake vs TB
Latavius vs LAR
Lamar Miller vs ARI
Morris vs PHI

Need 2 of 3 (non-PPR)

D. Williams vs TB
J. Williams vs BAL
Perine vs NO

Leaning the two Williams, but all three seem like pretty mediocre options.

For the WRs, think JuJu and Julio as clear starts. Personally I'd lean Fitz slightly over Engram, as he's seeing more targets and Engram's recent output has been somewhat TD reliant, but think they are close enough that I'd go with your gut.

I had the same decision and went with CIN due to them having CLE the following week. I'm now considering taking LAC over both tho

Kind of like Drake and Latavius regardless of scoring format. Need one more week on Ajayi's use although if an Eagles fan knows more than I do on aprox how many snaps he might see, chime in. It's down to them and Ajayi anyway, disregard the other 2 imho.

Eagles beat writer says:
Ajayi hung around during the bye week working with RB coach Duce Staley.

Eagles OC says:
"When I look at our game plan for this week, I look at it and there's probably not a play on there that I wouldn't feel comfortable putting his number on. As far as Jay learning and knowing what to do. That speaks a lot of him and what he's able to do as a player."

Yeah I could see Ajayi/Drake is a good 2.

People are down on Latavius, but he's getting a lot of work.

I'd go with Ajayi if Sean Lee is out. Dallas run D has been abysmal when he doesn't play (5.3 YPC vs. 3.5 YPC). I'd also expect Ajayi to get a bigger share of snaps/touches now that he's had more time to learn playbook, etc.

For the rest, Perine and Darkwa are the clear sits (Darkwa is good, but too big a chance NYG fall behind and he gets few carries). I'd rank Drake above Murray due to match-up as CAR run D has been very solid.

Ya, I wanted to go Ben, but was scared of the TNF.

After using Antonio Brown to gape someone last night, I'd like safe floors in .5 PPR:

Need 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 Flex from this bunch, leans

CJ Anderson vs CIN
Burkhead @ OAK
Ginn @ WAS
C Coleman vs Jax
Morris vs PHI
J Williams vs BAL

I think Burkhead's snap count now makes him tough to bench, so it's probably the CJ Anderson start I'm the most tentative on

so must win matchup off to a good start with AB (but he has rishard so got back 23pts) in PPR league.

im a bit worried about what im hearing wrt fournette.
if he starts we have to go with him right even tho word is they don't want to use him much if at all cuz of his ankle n fact they think they can beat browns without him?

my options (pick 2)

fournette @ cle
tevin coleman @ sea
burkhead @ oak (tho not really @ since its in mexico)
crowell v jags

am i crazy to go with coleman n burkhead?
if fournette starts n we have to use him do i go with coleman or burkhead?

thanks guys really need some help this week as i have to win out to make playoffs.

Normally I'd say you're crazy, but he does admit to hating to play in the cold and his ankle isn't right. With it being PPR Burkhead may have a safer floor even.

Mexico City is 1/2 mile higher than Denver - I expect the defenses will be running at 75% speed by the 4th quarter and part time pass catching players like Burkhead, White, Washington, Richard will be able to have their way

Sweet thanks. Also I have this decision in a few leagues:

Lions @ Bears
Ravens @ GB in some rough weather

both top 4 starts I'd think. Kind of get a lil boner at the idea of the Ravens vs Hundley.
