Pick a Team to Play Against in 1st Round

Postby kvothe34 » Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:45 am

Hi Everyone,
So I have the unique opportunity as the #3 seed to pick my 1st round playoff opponent. Sadly, I don't feel like there is an obvious choice (though I may be proven wrong), so I was hoping to get some feedback. This is for team 1 in signature if it matters. League is PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex, 1 Def. What do you guys think? Whether or not Ingram plays definitely makes a big difference, but I need to make a decision by tomorrow.

Option 1
  • Carr, Derek OAK QB
    Taylor, Tyrod BUF QB (Q)
    Ajayi, Jay PHI RB
    Conner, James PIT RB (R)
    Gallman, Wayne NYG RB (R) (Q)
    Howard, Jordan CHI RB
    Kamara, Alvin NOS RB (R)
    McCaffrey, Christian CAR RB (R)
    Coleman, Corey CLE WR
    Golladay, Kenny DET WR (R)
    Hollins, Mack PHI WR (R)
    Lee, Marqise JAC WR
    Lockett, Tyler SEA WR
    Reynolds, Josh LAR WR (R)
    Richardson, Paul SEA WR
    Smith-Schuster, JuJu PIT WR (R) (S)
    Taylor, Taywan TEN WR (R)
    Westbrook, Dede JAC WR (R)
    Williams, Tyrell LAC WR
    Brate, Cameron TBB TE
    Kittle, George SFO TE (R)
    Njoku, David CLE TE (R)
    Raiders, Oakland OAK Def
    Seahawks, Seattle SEA Def
Option 2
  • Keenum, Case MIN QB
    Smith, Alex KCC QB
    Winston, Jameis TBB QB
    Abdullah, Ameer DET RB (Q)
    Allen, Javorius BAL RB
    Bernard, Giovani CIN RB
    McKinnon, Jerick MIN RB
    Montgomery, Ty GBP RB (I)
    Perine, Samaje WAS RB (R)
    Rawls, Thomas SEA RB
    Thompson, Chris WAS RB (I)
    Washington, DeAndre OAK RB
    Baldwin, Doug SEA WR
    Gabriel, Taylor ATL WR
    Garcon, Pierre SFO WR (I)
    Hill, Tyreek KCC WR
    Kupp, Cooper LAR WR (R)
    Moncrief, Donte IND WR
    Parker, DeVante MIA WR
    Cook, Jared OAK TE

    Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB (I)
    Wilson, Russell SEA QB
    Drake, Kenyan MIA RB

    Lewis, Dion NEP RB
    Smith, Rod DAL RB
    Benjamin, Travis LAC WR
    Cobb, Randall GBP WR
    Crabtree, Michael OAK WR
    Sanu, Mohamed ATL WR
    Switzer, Ryan DAL WR (R)
    Thielen, Adam MIN WR
    Thomas, Demaryius DEN WR
    Butt, Jake DEN TE (R) (I)
    Dickson, Ed CAR TE
    Gathers, Rico DAL TE (I)
    Walker, Delanie TEN TE (Q)

I would avoid option 2, especially if Mixon is out. Probably lean towards option 1, very weak at WR.
Team 1: 1 PPR- 1 qb, 2 wr, 2 rb, 1 te, 1 flex, 1 d, 1k

QB: Herber, Rodgers, Lawrence
RB: Bijan, Gibbs, Walker, J Cook, Kamara, Dobbins, Mixon, Ford
WR: AJB, DK, Godwin, Higgins, Pittman, London, J Williams, Sutton, Mooney,
TE: Kittle, Goedert, Henry
2024 picks: 1.1 and 1.9

Team 2: 12 team 1 PPR-1 qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1 flex
25 team rosters

Team 2
QB:Allen, Fields, Carr
RB: CMC, Swift, JT, ETN, LF, Hines, Allgeier, Benjamin
WR: Godwin, Diggs, Boyd, M Brown, Claypool, ARSB, osbourne, C Davis, Wakins,
TE: Waller, Engram, L Thomas

Team 3 48 teams:half PPR- 1qb (6pts TD), 2 wr, 2 rb, 1 te, 2flex, 1d, 1pk
QB: Wilson, Josh Allen
RB: Mixon, Chubb, Jacobs, Montgomery, Henderson, Pollard, Bernard, R Freeman, L Miller
WR: Godwin, AJ Brown, ARob, Ridley, Chark, C Davis, JJAW, Ross
TE: Hooper, Herndon, Knox, Oliver, Jonnu

I wouldn't do team 3, even if Ingram didn't play. Team 1 is probably the best option right now since he doesn't have any decent WRs.

Eliminate Team 3 from the equation. That is the best team IMO.

I lean toward team 1. Weak QB, tough matchup for CMC, JuJu suspended. Kamara and Lee are the blow up players but the team doesn’t feel too strong otherwise.

Team #2 for me. I think that team is overall a bit better than Team #1, but I don't see many players that can put up huge numbers. Good luck

I'd choose to play against team 2. Lower risk of blowout performances.
