good thing is you can lose next week and it won't change playoffs (maybe seeding).

I keep forgetting your playoffs start in week 15....

Either way I always go into playoffs thinking ima rekt erbody and win it all, then my team shits out 80 pts or less while my opponent throws up 150+ and I sob uncontrollably

Honestly, I probably play it safe and go Coleman, even on TNF. Just can't trust any Broncos to do anything week to week, even though that should be a great matchup for them. Coleman is at least good for 6 or 7 on a slow day (.5 PPR) and 20+ on a good one.

I'm taking Hill. The Chiefs looked like they woke up last week, and Smith was on point. Against Oakland, he should be good again. Crabtree is just as good of an option though. Not sure there is a wrong answer on this one.

I'm taking Cam over Mariota. Mariota hasn't cleared 19 points this entire season in my league, regardless of matchup. That's a pretty low ceiling. Meanwhile, Cam looked about as good as he has all year recently. If he had better receivers, it would be a no brainer. I like Cam to outscore Mariota, maybe not by much, but he has the ability to go for 30 against even good defenses. I'll take that ceiling.

Crab and Hill feels like a toss up.... either could go HAM

I just read the Matthew Berry Love/Hate for this week. He has Cam and Mariota as a hate so you're fucked there. Crabtree got some love, FWIW. I'm assuming Marcus Peters is suspended for this game?

You're just trying to be difficult.

Still bitter about my loss so want to confuse him

In all seriousness I think Crabtree has a big game because it looks like Cooper may not play again. Crabtree will get a lot of looks and Hill is very boom or bust.

I picked up Gio Bernard on WW. I'm not playing Tevin tonight. Short week and a timeshare. Best case scenerio he vultures a TD. I'm going to roll the dice and hope Mixon is out and play Gio against the Bears. I like those odds.

Since I'm out of the playoffs I'm benching McCoy and Mike Evans. Watch me now score the highest points of the season with the waiver pickups I stole!

Peters is out. Makes Crabtree a little more appealing. Hasn't done much better than 10 points since week 6 in my league though, so that would still be my concern.

Think both are good plays though.

Both QB's rough plays, but give me Cam's upside. At least he's had some big games.

Love this play. Bengals probably have the ball for 45 minutes against us.

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

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....

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

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.
