Hell no dude. Keenan Allen is on a tear. In no way would I bench him for Hill/Crabtree.

I know.... but it makes the Hill/Crabtree decision alot harder...

So I need to decide who my flex player will be
goodwin vs texans
coleman vs packers
funchess vs vikes
parker vs pats

i'm pretty much ruled out funchess vs rhodes
parker - not sure whats going on with him but pats corners seem to be playing well last few weeks.
coleman had a zero outing in gordon's return which is not good, but would the pack double gordon opening things up for coleman?
goodwin - played well against the bears and seems to be jimmy g's favorite target so far.

I would play Funchess. It's a tough matchup, but your other options aren't good. FWIW, I have him in my lineup.

Either Goodwin or Funchess. Funchess is the safer play, as he's almost guaranteed to get plenty of opportunities, even if they are against a tough D.

So to give more info on my Hill/Crabtree question.

I had Keenan Allen and Michael Thomas in my starting WR spots.... Thomas has already played and I'm glad I played him

Would you play Hill or Crabtree over Keenan Allen vs WSH?

Right now im starting Hill in my flex....

Only way Allen isn't in my lineup in that situation is if it's him or Antonio Brown. He's playing way too well. Washington wasn't exactly stellar on D against the Cowboys. He should get opportunities, and Rivers will force it to him if he has to right now.

Thomas, Allen, Hill. That's a good play this week.

I started losing faith in Jordan Howard...not because of Howard's ability but because of Fox so I benched him this week in favor of Jamaal Williams. But now with Cincy's defense banged up I am trying to figure out if I should put him back in

Williams a little safer floor, but with Jones back, could be a much lower ceiling.

It's a tough call that really shouldn't be. Should be Howard without question, but in the current state, I actually lean towards Williams. More likely that they get close enough for touchdowns than the Bears.

Curious which way the people who were on the fence went, and how it turned out.

I had a bye week, and of course my team went off for 153. Outscored the closest team by 20...and it was for nothing lol

Im in major trouble in one playoff matchup...

Down 77 to 84... he has Brandin Cooks and I have Pats DEF.

He had Eagles DEF and Eagles Kicker... so the end of that game really fucked me.

Also I had to decide between Greg Olsen (I have Cam).... or gamble on starting Trey Burton on the Eagles not knowing if Ertz would be active.

I went Olsen and Burton put up like 20 pts.... so I fukt myself.

In my 2nd playoff matchup I have won it like 149.5 to 98.

Yeah, that Eagles game being late really messed up a ton of people. Wasn't bad if you were an Ertz owner and had Burton as a backup, but for those who weren't Ertz owners, it was a tough risk.

Did not help the last play of the game those fucking retards on the Rams gave up an Eagles defensive TD.

The moment I saw that, I wondered how many people were going to get beat because of it. Pretty lackluster effort on it from the get go.

Second highest scoring team in the league in both leagues, that I went on losing streaks to miss the playoffs. In one league, I scored more TDs this week than in the past two combined.

Uggghhhh. That's no good at all. Nothing quite like having a great week the week after it matters.

Pick One for my Flex position. League is .5 PPR

Robby Anderson @ NO (No Josh McCown sucks!)
TY vs Den
Marquise Lee vs HOU
CJ Anderson @ IND
Corey Coleman vs BAL
Mike Davis vs LAR

Lots of mediocre options lol.

Definitely not great options, but I'd go with Lee. Houston is pretty good against the run, which means Bortles has to do at least a little throwing. Houston is also terrible against the pass.

The only other usable option is Anderson. I just don't trust the Broncos to not fall apart on a week to week basis.

Can't believe I have to recommend Lee over TY Hilton. What on earth is going on in this league?

Well last night I lost one playoff matchup by less than 1 pt.... and my loss in gpp's league bumped me out of the playoffs.

I am left in playoffs in 1 more league.

I have that temptation to bench my entire team in both leagues where im out.

Jones Jr. and Diggs for me. I'm choosing Diggs because Kendall Wright just torched Cincy's secondary lmao.

Gordon is so tempting though. I don't like Crowder's matchup.

I am more surprised about making playoffs than you...sorry for getting your hopes up by telling you you were locked in
