Week 17 Discussion

[Pyro_6138]

Have Cooks, Waddle, DJM and Aiyuk leaning towards Cooks and Waddle but I'm not sure I could bench Josh Jacobs and start 3 WRs instead but I think RoJo and Penny have good matchups.

Anyone firing up Mike Evans? I'm on the fence, but right now leaning towards taking the gamble. I also have Tom Brady and I feel like I need the TD upside of Evans. I just don't feel confident starting Boyd or Landry in his place and I need big plays to win the championship.

I'm on the fence too. In past years like this for him, he's played a few snaps then sat. But he has also come back on the field in red zone situations. A TD and 30 yards might make him worth starting. And you never know if he gets two it three red zone scores. So risky!

Man, that's such a good point. My problem is I'm so risk adverse, too. I always tend to play it safe. But I also am waffling between 2 "would I rather" scenarios: would I rather lose because I started him and he sucks OR lose because I benched him.

Got him on my bench in both leagues for DJohnson. I don't think he would be playing in a game they could win without him if he wasn't near 100%. I actually wouldn't be surprised if this is coach speak and he plays almost every snap with the starters. There's just no reason for him to be out there if he still had even a minor chance of aggravating the injury again. I would be starting him if I had other low-floor options like yourself.

Anyone rolling with Jalen Hurts today with a bad ankle?
Almost cost myself my league starting him over Burrow/Prescott last week but might be crazy enough to do it again.

Sorry for the lineup advice post here, but really struggling with a few decisions in two finals today, and would so appreciate any thoughts from this discussion group.

Renfrow or J Jefferson if I'm a big 30 pt favorite? Gut is saying Renfrow as hard as it is to sit JJ (who got me here).
Huntley or R Wilson if I'm a big 30 pt favorite and opponent has M Andrews? Leaning Huntley but have ridden Russ all year.
Need two of Swift, Jacobs and Penny - and I'm a slight underdog.

Many thanks and best of luck today!

I'd go Burrow/Prescott over Hurts today.

The catch is that if he feels anything wrong, he just goes to the bench. Active doesn't mean he'll play much if at all outside of the red zone.

Some of Evans' best games have been hampered with a hamstring .. the injury doesn't scare me as much as his home/road splits ..

I am personally rolling with him today, mainly because he needs 100 yds to get his 8th straight 1K season .. but his scoring on the road has been incredibly low this year .. I kind of blame Gronk

[palevermilion]

Evans with a TD. Whew. I'll take this is a floor.

Ja’Marr Chase putting an exclamation point on the end of the season. Hes got over 100 yds and 2 tds halfway thru the second quarter. Congrats to owners who started him.

Lol Mac Jones is absolutely destroying the Jaguars. He looks like he’s playing Youngstown State.

[FantasyFreak]

I know the WFT D line has been hit with some injuries, but that Philly OL is really pass blocking well today.

[FantasyFreak]

Guess it's going to be that kind of day for my Raiders. Wentz INT turns into a long TD pass. LOL.

[Hjorimir]

It's a good day to have Ja'marr Chase going!

He’s last years version of Kamara in the week 16 playoffs
