Just assume every game against Mahomes will be a shoot out and KC has injuries at cornerback.

Pick a DST:

Steelers at home against the Bengals

or

Ravens on the road against the Lions
oof, defenses are a crap shoot. I'd lean PIT at home though. Is TJ Watt hurt?

"Questionable"

I usually go with the home team when it's this close, just seeing if anyone could talk me out of it
I'd go with Pit. At home, been the better defense for fantasy. Projected for more. Think they have a better match up too. The Lions are easy to pick on but Goff hasn't been that bad.

FLEX: Mooney, Mike Davis, or Michael Carter?

Despite the questionable tag, Mooney is expected to play & has a better floor & upside.


Sadly, Davis is losing volume to Cordarrelle Patterson now. Carter has yet to take over but might get his shot this week with the rest of the committee out. Same with Sermon apparently. Have him in a couple leagues too.

I would like to mention that I posted this before over halve the ravens starters were ruled out for covid.

Hopefully you didn't start Mooney....

Chase outscored Keenan Allen ftr...

I got fucked anyway though so the few points didn't matter.

CMC and Sheppard made sure of that. I also started the wrong "field" I shoulda started the Baker one over the Justin one. My meatball optimism was punished by the fantasy gods.

And FTR, I would never even consider benching Keenan Allen

Yeah, I'm pretty much fucked on the teams I have Bears players. ARob, Mooney, DMonty....

Nagy effect has blown them all to hell. Even got Fields in a keeper league. Kinda haveta burn the roster spot in hopes Nagy gets canned. JF has so much potential but 0% chance until Nagy gets the F outta CHI.

With AJ Brown out - I'm struggling for a WR2. I'm leaning Brown. Claypool is banged up. Davis plays for the Jets. Cordarrelle could be a sneaky play tho

Marquise Brown
Chase Claypool
Corey Davis
Cordarrelle Patterson

I have the exact same scenario. I'm leaning Hunt tho

lol nice. Yeah, I will hate benching hunt if I do. That dolphins matchup just seems salivating for Hines

and CP has been balling w the falcons. I’d play him out of those options. And the falcons are garbage, so they are likely to trail a good bit…that means more CP at RB over Mike Davis

Ridley and Gage may miss that game, Patterson should be a good play.

Patterson been showing out!! I could only get him in 1 league tho. Great to have RB/WR flexibility too.

I've found it helpful usually to compare 2 players by simply typing in:

"start ______ or ______".

First result is always: Who Should I Start? - Fantasy Football (Week 6) | FantasyPros

Can only do 2 at a time, and have to change to "HALF" PPR from default but it's good perspective to see a pretty big & up to date sample of the "expert" rankings calculated together.
