For my flex, one of:

Michael Pittman

Breese Hall

Calvin Ridley

I have Pittman in right now, but apparently, Hall is free of limitations going against the Broncos, and we all saw what Miami did against that defense.

St. Brown and Williams have injuries now. Stupid early morning London game for Cook really messes this up.

I hate the London games too, makes it hard to set a lineup with all of the game time decisions

I hate Thursday games. Last night just about guaranteed both of my teams will lose this week. Played against DJ Moore in one and I had the Washington D in the other.

[jerichoholicninja]

After Thursday night and Sunday morning games left me in a huge hole I had already written off the week. JaMarr finally going off put me ahead and fairly confident I had pulled off a massive come from behind win then Kittle happened last night. And I lost.

My two teams started out a combined 8-0 but now 0-4 the last two weeks. One team lost Dobbins and Chubb and the other just lost David Montgomery and Kyren Williams. Ugh.

First of all I’ll admit that the following trade in a vacuum was to the other guys advantage. 
i had 5 starting caliber rbs in jt, breece hall, Kenneth walker, Pacheco and swift, my wrs have struggled. Watson is finally healthy but has a rookie wr, Pacua has maybe been figured out and it’s not great that Kupp is back and Adam’s is hurt and has bad quarterbacking,

so I traded hall for Metcalf. The rest of the season rankings are in halls favor but I think he can put up some decent numbers and balance my roster a but. Thoughts? 

[jerichoholicninja]

On both of my teams last week I had to decide between Donta Foreman and Darrell Henderson as a starter. I went with Foreman for both teams and in both cases I would have won had I started Henderson. One team lost Cousins and there's nothing but crap QB's available. I'm watching my season's slowly circle down the drain.

I acquired DK Metcalf earlier this season, and am facing the guy who made the deal with me this week, us both needing wins to lockup playoff spots. His 37 points should help me greatly!

Round 1 of the playoffs. Between St. Brown, Puka, Chase, and David Montgomery I need to sit one of them. Really leaning toward Chase right now. He had one great game with Browning at QB but single digit points in the others. St. Brown is my other thought going against the Broncos DB's plus Laporta has really taken away his targets the last couple weeks and Goff just sucks right now. In theory, Montgomery should be in a great spot against the Broncos horrible run D but there's no guarantee that Gibbs could take over at any moment. Puka is a must start, right?

Puka or Amari Cooper as my WR3 this week?  Have St. Brown and Debo as the other 2.

I sit Puka in that group honestly.  I am considering starting Cooper over him this week because of the matchups as you can see by my previous post.  St. Brown has had 1 single digit week the entire year, he's a top 5 WR.  Puka has huge weeks, but also has had 6 weeks of single digits.

For the record, I'm going to bench Puka tonight, so if I was you I would start him.  If he's on my bench, he'll go off for about 35 points.

'The Solver' DFS optimizer projects Puka to get 17 and Cooper to get 13.  Take that for what it's worth.  It projects St. Brown for 17 and Deebo for 14.

If you want a guaranteed championship then pick up Bryce Young and Nick Mullins off the waiver wire and start them against the Packers defense. Chula Hubbard and Ty Chandler would be great pickups too.

9 - 164 - 1td

That's 35 points in my league.  lol

Hopefully whoever wanted to start Puka did!

[wildcat83]

I spent the last two days being grumpy about having Puka on my bench.  Now Cooper making me feel real good about heading to the Championship in my league!!!! Crazy game, and still a quarter to go.

[adambr2]

St. Brown is a set it and forget it guy. Unless you would have to play him over Tyreek, JJ, or Lamb, ARSB should never even be in a benching discussion, IMO.

Finished the regular season as the highest scoring team in my league but wound up as the 4 seed due to record. Put up my second highest score of the year in the first round of the playoffs and lost. In the pointless 5/6 game this week I put up my highest score of the year and won. Despite the high score I would have even lost the semi's had I won last week. Fantasy football playoffs are more of a crapshoot than MLB.

Just thought I'd let you all know that I picked up Jaren Hall as a free agent to play in both of my third place games.

Should’ve gone Hall in one and Mullens in the other….

It looks like I'm going to win in both of my leagues so no biggie. They were third place games anyway.
