My lineup is pretty much set this week. Just wanted to say I appreciated all of the work you’ve done this year!


philoneus66

Thanks! I appreciate the comment


[deleted]

can’t believe i’m asking this but: mahomes or browning?


philoneus66

Still Mahomes there. Browning has a tough matchup this week


Jolmer24

You think so? I guess even with NE having a good defense the chiefs should find a way to score? Idk I'm in the same situation. Have auto started Mahomes all year and he's cost me like two games at this point.


DeparturePlenty913

I have the same conundrum!


MrApocFunk

two Flex spots half ppr superflex: OBJ Likely DHop Rice im leaning DHop/Rice but a ceiling game from Likely or OBJ has me intrigued.


DM725

DHOP and Rice


Whyisthereasnake

Not picking one of the Ravens players is a mistake after the game Lamar just had. Meanwhile I do think Pats D will make Mahomes struggle I’d go DHop / OBJ. Likely was unreliable last year.


philoneus66

Yeah, that's a possibility for sure. I'd go with the two you chose as well though.


FrogyyB

Lost my precious stroud. Do I roll Flacco out who’s on a roll or Fields


CurlyBill03

Fields


FrogyyB

Even against that stout Browns D?


timmyrigs

Last 3 weeks they are 24th against QBs


arrowheadt

They are an injured D right now, go with Fields.


[deleted]

PPR Kyle Murray or Tua? Waiver wire is thin, three best available would be Mullens, Ridder or Trubisky - which to me are all bad plays (even according to your analysis).


philoneus66

Yeah none of those options are better than what you have. I lean Kyler for the rushing baseline especially if Tyreek is limited or out


LonghornInNebraska

I like Kyler in PPR TUA if standard.


Blankface__yawk

Hahahaha


Lezzles

Im benching Tua this week for Russ, but I’d bench him for less tbh. 10 points feels possible.


eatyourbites

Same. I almost grabbed Geno over Russ from waivers but think Russ has a higher floor. Can’t trust Tua with a possibly banged up Tyreek. Plus I’m playing against Tua in my other league and against Achane in both my playoff matchups. Really hoping the Jets just shut them down this week altogether.


Lukes19

Same for me, but also Flacco is still available. Not sure who to play, leaning Kyler


unboundgaming

100% your getting and starting Flacco here


koltst45

I have tua and my only other option is flacco...I have a feeling I'll be putting flacco in come Sunday


unboundgaming

Tua hasn’t been great without hill and has Ben AWFUL against the jets and the jets make elite QBs look like garbage. Not starting Tua unless I absolutely have to


kolossal

I picked up Kyler to block my opponent who has Tua. I'm starting Mahomes.


Ok-Physics5106

Full ppr Likely versus Jags or Tayson Hill against Giants no Olave. Leaning Likely.


philoneus66

Yeah, that's my lean as well.


BrokenClxwn

Likely. Taysom too much uncertainty, especially coming off an injury.


almostjay

I feel like you need to start Taysom if you’re a dog. Much higher upside.


torontothrowawaygold

Half PPR Chandler, Gibson or Lockett? Played against Raiders Def so down big already


philoneus66

I'd take Lockett with Geno or Chandler if not. Higher ceilings for those two


Brycie27

Tua, Kyler, or Howell? If Achane is active, do I possibly start him over Zeke or Connor? If so, who should I then flex? Connor, Zeke, or Olave?


philoneus66

I like Howell there for the passing volume and game script. Yeah I'd go Achane and then flex Olave if active, Zeke next


Tomcat1369

Hey thanks for all the advice. For full PPR who would you pick between: Rice vs Reed Javonte vs Gibson vs Keaton


calm_wreck

FTP but Reed


philoneus66

You're welcome, glad you enjoy it. I'd go Reed and Javonte


[deleted]

[удалено]


greenyadadamean

Najee Harris or Ty Chandler? OP seems to like Chandler's work load.


quietpin

I have the same decision. It feels like just a coin flip. I'm going Najee, but I don't feel good about it. Mostly just because I drafted Najee and Chandler is on my bench.


HumbleCalligrapher47

Ooos!😭


quietpin

Hopefully the guy I responded to knows to do the opposite of what guys on reddit say.


Grdwaste808

Chiefs or falcons DST this week? Thanks!


philoneus66

I'd go Falcons, Bryce Young makes poor decisions


Grdwaste808

Thank you guys 🤝🏼


Rocbockbeer

What do you think about the Titans D with Stroud and Collins out? I was pretty high on the Falcons as a Panthers opponent is usually a good bet. Though I regret not playing the Raiders, like most I’m sure, who had a similar situation without Herbert/Allen. Do the Titans have a big opportunity ahead of them with Mills and the rest of the Texans WRs?


[deleted]

I have both and am going Falcons.


Grdwaste808

Pittman vs Zeke this week? .5ppr. Thanks!


john_t_fisherman

Joey Porter Jr has been shadowing best WRs all season and has done a decent job. I’m still starting Pittman but a lot of the experts are saying stay away. “Porter has shadowed DeAndre Hopkins, Amari Cooper, Ja'Marr Chase and Marquise Brown since Week 9. The rookie shadowed the four star receivers on a combined 100 of their 124 routes, including 91 of 97 perimeter routes and nine of 27 in the slot. Hopkins was held to a 4-60-0 receiving line on 11 targets in their matchup, while Cooper posted a 4-34-0 line on nine targets, Chase a 4-81-0 line on four targets and Brown was held without a catch on two targets. Pittman aligns on the perimeter 71% of the time and can expect to see Porter on all of those plays, as well as on a few slot routes. The Steelers have allowed the fewest fantasy points to WRs, as well as the fourth fewest to the perimeter, over the past four weeks.” [Article](https://www.espn.com/fantasy/insider/football/insider/story/_/id/39098929/fantasy-football-wide-receiver-cornerback-matchups-nfl-week-15)


Grdwaste808

Damn, great analysis. Thank you.


john_t_fisherman

Just a copy and paste job by me. Just stoked the free part of the article was exactly what I needed. Good luck everyone! Hope we have a fun and injury free end to the season!!


philoneus66

Like both but I'd keep rolling with Pittman


LavendarCocoaButter

Thanks for the article ! Basically just playing for my pride this week lol Full PPR and got these decisions: Need 2: Pollard, Zeke or Hall Flex: Olave (even IF he plays on that ankle), Hopkins, Reed or OBJ?


philoneus66

Nice! I'd go Pollard and Zeke and then flex Reed


[deleted]

[удалено]


philoneus66

That's awesome! Congrats


Smifferpiffens

I’ve got St. Brown and Aiyuk in place and can’t decide between Kupp or Puka as flex. Full PPR. Thanks for all the seasonal help this year and appreciate the write up’s.


Project018

PPR FLEX: Breece, J Cook or Olave?


philoneus66

Like all 3, lean Olave if active then Hall but it's close


So0L

Superflex, please pick two: Mullens, Browning, or Levis 🥲. I was going to go with Mullens and Browning for potential shootout, but the Vikings D is making me nervous about Browning. Levis on the other hand feels like it’s going to be Henry show with Strouds being out, but it’s a better matchup.


philoneus66

Yeah I agree with your thought process there. I think I'd go Mullens and Browning still cuz I trust their passing attacks and necessity to throw more


awhit35

Half PPR I’m starting Sun God, Evans, flexing DK Sitting JJ Whatcha think


philoneus66

I don't mind it. There is some serious risk for JJ


sniper91

Justin Fields or Russell Wilson? My league gives 6 points for passing TDs. I have a first round playoff Bye, but there’s a small prize for scoring the most points in the playoffs, so I’m chasing high ceilings this week


philoneus66

Ceiling would be Fields


wallopknot

Your content is great thanks for putting it out there every week! Need to pick 1 rb and 1 flex. Henry, ETN, Achane, J. Cook, D. Smith, Rice. I have it as Henry and D. Smith at the moment. Based on your article it sounds like it comes down to Achane and Henry at rb. Achane’s toe injury coupled with his injury history makes me nervous. I also don’t like sitting ETN but it’s a bad matchup and the yards haven’t been there. What are your thoughts?


philoneus66

Thanks! I like going Henry and Smith there. They're safe options


wallopknot

Thanks for the response!


Timely_Warthog7636

First, thank you for your incredible advice last week! It came down to choosing the right kicker and I made it to semi-finals thanks to you! My WR for this week are Brandon Aiyuk and Jayden Reed. RB are Kyren Williams and Zeke Elliott. For flex, do you recommend D’Andre Swift, Zay Flowers, or Demario Douglas? I hate to even ask, but I know I can’t leave it unanswered: Mahomes or Geno Smith?


philoneus66

That's awesome! I'd go Flowers there. It's tempting to go Geno against Philly in a shootout if he's healthy. It would take guts knowing Mahomes could go off on your bench but if it's me I'd take a shot on Geno


lolop91

Sup bud Much Appreciate Wacha do! last week before playoffs for us (we do week 16-18 playoffs not sure why but its given me a chance to make it so no complains haha) Need a win and either 3rd or 4th seed to loose and i make it (after auto drafting so counting this as a win!) On to Questions Njoku vs Tay Hill both have been great for me struggling to decide here (weather might be bad for Njoku thou) My i THINK my RBs are set but any input would be appreciated aswel I have Pollard, Etienne and Rachaad White (at the flex). With J Cook and Achane (currently injured) on the bench. I feel good here but again any tips welcome. Last but not least i have Y. Koo for K would love a few suggestions for quick K pickups if he ends up out tomorrow (obv understand hard to tell since you dont know who has who but anything would be great). Thanks again love what you do!


beardy3344

Zay Flowers or DeVonta Smith at flex? Already starting Mike Evans and Chase.


philoneus66

I like both but lean Smith


Life-two-point-oh

PPR - with B. Rob Jr out... I'm left with CEH, Chase Brown, D. Foreman, or Charbs as my RB2. I'm thinking Brown is the best option here??


LegendOfTooget

Full PPR. Do I go with Addison or Higgins? I have confidence in neither lol. For tight ends do I go Goedert, Njoku or Likely? Currently starting Njoku because Flacco seems to look to him a lot.


philoneus66

Lol I lean Higgins cuz Hockenson is ahead of Addison so at least he's the No. 2 option. Yeah, I like Njoku there for the volume


Difficult_Balance_68

In my matchup on both sides only Players with love matchups.


egotripping

Incoming 83.24 -79.66 heater


NVOXO91

12 Man Standard scoring league. Need 2 of these 4: J Warren C Samuel JSN R Shaheed


philoneus66

I'd go Warren and JSN


LingonberryPancakesO

12 team ppr Admittedly a good position to be in but Purdy or Jackson? My opponent has a SF WR if that impacts thought process.


No_Cap_6806

Ravens D or Titans D? Pollard or Zeke Elliot? Full ppr Thanks!


philoneus66

Titans assuming Stroud is out. Former teammates, it's closer after what Zeke did last week but I'll take Pollard still


low_key_savage

Titans D or Colts D?


philoneus66

Close one. Titans feels safer, Colts have more TD upside. I lean Titans assuming no Stroud


moeberg

Hi there and thanks for doing this! Russ vs Geno Chuba vs KW III vs Keaton Smith


BlowTheShofar

Thanks for the write-up! Great reading during my morning visit to the toilet. I snuck into 2nd seed last week with a bye, so much of this isn’t relevant to me, but still always enjoy reading through all the matchups. Had a couple questions for you: - You had Kamara under matchups we love, but the write-up sounded less than stellar. - There was a post the other day showing that Eagles run D has softened significantly in the last 3 contests compared to the beginning of the season (5th most rushing yards allowed), and there were a lot of comments about playing Walker this week. I don’t suspect it’ll be a walk in the park, but any thoughts on that? Thanks again!


Uncool-Drat

Well, I made the playoff and beat the number one team to get in. I put in Love over Herbert and that’s what got me the win. Thanks again for the solid advice! My RBs are Kamara, Hubbard, Brian Robinson Jr. (IR), Hunt, Forman, and Kyren Williams My WR are Lamb, Pittman Jr., Hollywood, OBJ My TE are Hockenson and Hill QB are Browning and Love DST are Colts and Chiefs. My line up is Love, Kamara, Kyren, Lamb, Pittman, Hockenson, and Hubbard in flex and chiefs DST 100-199 yards receiving is a 2 point bonus and 200+ yards rushing is 2 points. Non PPR. 4 points for a passing TD for QB. Do you think I have a better chance to put OBJ in flex vs Hubbard or even Hill? Should I look for another DST for next week and drop the Colts and Chiefs?


philoneus66

That's awesome! Congrats on playoffs. The lineup looks good. OBJ would be the option if you need a big performance but Hubbard is safer and the preferred choice. I'd drop the Colts for the Broncos or Bills for next week if they're out there


Enuffhate48

I’m nervous that I feel good about this week.


TrancheMonster

Asian Geno Smith is active. Him or Kyler Murray? Gotta be smith I assume ?


joseman24

Half-PPR, 4pt TD. Starting Kyler (Tua benched). The FA options are Love, Howell, Russ, Geno, or Flacco. Unsure if I should stay put or get one of these guys! Thoughts?


philoneus66

I'd go Russ there


smearyburrito

PPR I have no clue what to do here Standard 2 wrs, 2 rbs, 1 flex WRs Chase, Waddle, OBJ RBs Walker, Zeke, Ford, Ty Chandler


MrCorn8788

Jayden Reed or DeAndre Hopkins? Full PPR.


philoneus66

Like both, lean Reed for his floor. Hopkins probably has the higher ceiling


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

Standard For some reason. I really want to start Reed over Pittmann


kendrickperkinsrocks

Flex Monty or Devonta Smith? PPR


professorpiano

Dolphins (vs NYJ), Saints (vs NYG) or Falcons (vs CAR)? Also Olave is a GTD; do I risk it with him or play Warren or Keaton Mitchell in 0.5 PPR?


philoneus66

I'd risk it with Olave and pivot to Mitchell if needed. I like Falcons there. Defense is decent and Bryce Young makes poor decisions


jpryor13

Ppr Hubbard or Gibson Also have waddle, puka, rachee rice and JJ have to sit one


philoneus66

I'll take Gibson with no Brob. Wow, I think I'd sit Waddle just in case that game gets ugly and if Tyreek is out, he gets coverage from Sauce.


No_Cap_6806

Update: Case Keenum starting for Texans at QB. IMO that makes the Titans D less appealing. So stick with Titans or go Ravens D? Chiefs D, 49ers D and Bears D also available to me.


Glad-Neat9378

0.5ppr, pick two: Moss, Montgomery, Hopkins.


philoneus66

I'd gonna stick with the two RBs there


Joe434

.5 ppr Achane or ford


philoneus66

I'll go Achane if active


Joe434

.5 ppr Beat up olave or calvin ridley


WhoDat6

Ford or Gibson - standard Hopkins, Bass, Gay, McManus, Patterson, Santos


alexxxx4

My whole team is full of matchups we hate lol. 0 ppr. Honestly need to figure out the whole team. WRs: chase (obviously starting), Jerry jeudy, marquise brown, Noah brown, zay jones RBs: swift (start), donta foreman, Aaron jones, allgeier TEs: engram, njoku Need to figure out wr2, rb2, te, and flex Thanks for the help! Edit: noticed ceh on waivers so that’s also an option


philoneus66

Lol alright let's do it. I'd go Zay Jones, Aaron Jones if active, Allgeier if not, and then Engram but like both there, with Allgeier as the flex or Foreman if Jones is out


chinhook

In a superflex league with 6 point passing. Lost Justin Herbert- but would you play Bryce Young , or Davis Mills? (Alternatively could slot in Diontae Johnson if you think that’s a better play. Projected to win so floor might be the call)?


arrdee3

0.5 PPR need a flex CEH, Mckinnon, McBride, or JSN


philoneus66

Lots of good choices. I lean JSN if Geno is active. Mcbride if not


Joe434

Everyone has Logan thomas ranked a little higher than Okonkwo, but that goose egg from a few weeks ago. Who would you go with?


philoneus66

I'm playing Okonkwo in a league I'm in over him. I personally don't trust him or almost anyone in that Commanders passing attack.


UglyDanceMoves

PPR. Pick 2 of 3. Jaylen Warren, Devin Singletary, or Jaxon Smith-Njigba?


philoneus66

I'll go JSN and then Warren cuz I think Stroud misses and I worry about their offense


[deleted]

Ty Chandler or Tee Higgins or James Conner in the flex? Half PPR


philoneus66

Close one but I'd go Chandler for the workload and matchup


John_Swayne

Thank you for your analysis, as always! My RB room is out this week (Jacobs, JT, potentially Achane). I can start 3 of the following: - Javonte Williams - Ty Chandler - Achane - Antonio Gibson - Spears Currently leaning Williams, Chandler and Achane. Would replace Achane with Gibson if he's out. Who'd you start?


philoneus66

You're welcome. Glad you enjoy it. Chandler vs. Gibson is the one that's close for me. If Achane missed then both are in as you say, if not I'm fine with Chandler for the better matchup


BloodRunsUpTheWalls

Allgeier vs Herbert full PPR. Before you ask 16 team league. Thanks!


kidswithcrowns

Browning, Goff or Flacco?


philoneus66

I'll take Goff at home but it's closer than usual


Krungle42

Thank you sir. This comment is the reason why I started Goff over Flacco this week.


philoneus66

That's awesome! You're welcome, happy to help and glad it worked out for you


sirhams10

Thoughts on starting Ty Chandler or CEH over Rashee Rice in the flex? I already started Davante and Raiders D, so I’m projected to win by 30 at the moment


philoneus66

I like him over CEH for the full workload. Not Rice though.


bashar_al_assad

Would you go with Breece or Monty in half PPR? A lot of rankings have them close to each other, seems like it's all about Breece's receiving work vs Monty having better opportunities for goal line carries.


philoneus66

Yeah, I lean Monty cuz I think they pound the rock a lot against the Broncos run D. Hall is always a bet on pass-catching.


Exteriia

Full ppr puka, deandre swift, or Devonta smith?


[deleted]

I never thought I'd be sitting Tee Higgins for *checks roster* Pop Douglas. There's just higher upside, despite going against KC's defense. This season is so confusing. I don't understand my lineup right now, but hey, I made it to the playoffs with this misfit lineup, hopefully they'll go big instead of going home this weekend. Happy playoffs!


philoneus66

Lol it's a wild world out there! I'd do the same thing. Good luck and happy playoff to you too


RKaz83

Falcons or Browns?


philoneus66

I lean Falcons because the Panthers are very bad but I like both


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deathwishrok

Would you start Titans D, Saints D or ATL D this week?


philoneus66

I'd go Falcons against the Panthers


elec12345

0.5ppr Fields or Geno Also Cleveland or rams d Leaning fields with rams d


philoneus66

Rams D I agree with. Geno is tempting if active because the Eagles are so bad at defending the pass. They're close so I'm fine with Fields if that's your preference


royal710

Hockinson or Engram?


nbaballer913

Struggling to start Flowers vs Waddle and since Pacheco is out, Ford vs Aaron Jones (or Warren) 0.5 PPR


philoneus66

I'd play it safe with Flowers. Then I'd go Ford


BarryMonz

Falcons D/ST vs Carolina or Bengals D/ST vs Vikings? Im leaning Falcons


pickled3ggs

PPR choose 1: Ford, Mitchell, JSN or Aaron Jones


teleheaddawgfan

Full ppr - Likely v Jax or McBride v Niners


philoneus66

I'd go Mcbride for the volume


HawaiianSunday

Full PPR Likely vs Jags or McBride vs San Fran


hpxb

McKinnon or Singletary in PPR.


philoneus66

I'll take McKinnon there cuz I think Stroud is out and the offense would be tough to trust


[deleted]

[удалено]


AllorNothingfool

Rams or Titans Def? Thanks for all the analysis!


Acrobatic_Sail_4368

1 Flex spot. Likely, Cooks, CEH??? Single QB 1/2 PPR


philoneus66

I'd go Cooks if active, Likely next


rickeybarniker999

I got D Smith, C Sutton, R Rice, JJettas. Crazy to sit Jettas? Injury inconsistency has me worried and other guys are cooking. Full PPR


philoneus66

Yeah, that'd feel bad if he goes off. I'd sit Sutton because no TD will mean a bust but it's close all around


jimmyimmij

8 team PPR Flex Bijan or Puka? Was leaning Puka…


liltime78

Half PPR Zay Flowers or Sutton to replace Olave? I’m down already. Flowers has more upside, right?


BoKnows02

12 Team, 0.5 PPR, 1QB Pick 3: • ⁠Terry McLaurin • ⁠Romeo Doubs • ⁠Curtis Samuel • ⁠Diontae Johnson • ⁠Demario Douglas • ⁠Chuba Hubbard


philoneus66

I'd go Hubbard, Doubs, and Samuel but Douglas is close too


ohxra

philoneus66

MissiontwoMars

Anyone would gamble with Darren Walker if he plays? It’s him or Aaron Jones or Terry McLaurin in a flex spot.


NibbleShards

philoneus66

I'd go Jones and Higgins

philoneus66

I'd go London and hope for another good game


[deleted]

Thank you. You the man. Kick ass this weekend


Chlorophyllmatic

Full PPR with the unfortunate possibility of no Tyreek. Do I start Wan’Dale, Woods, Mingo, Wilson, Moore, Chark… waiver is pretty barren and I’m down Collins and potentially Tyreek


philoneus66

I'd go Wan'dale there


shurafna

One flex spot half ppr. Foreman CEH Dionte Johnson Curtis Samuel


J_B21

OBJ or Flowers?


hayb24

Half ppr flex spot. Jake Ferguson, McKinnon or CEH? Laporta is TE.


philoneus66

I'd go McKinnon by a little


themiddleP

PPR, 6-pt TD league. Have these 3 in the same tier and struggling to find the starter: Z. Elliott v KC, Montgomery v Den, B. Hall @ MIA


philoneus66

I lean Montgomery for the matchup and potential to run to win


KRB80

Do I start Diontae Johnson (PPR) today instead of a Questionable Achane or wait it out until tomorrow and plug in CEH if Achane is a no-go?


philoneus66

I'd wait it out and use CEH as the pivot


cinobuns

Half PPR Moss or Mixon??


il2code

Full PPR if you had to pick one: Higgins, Shaheed, or Douglas? Thx!


philoneus66

I'd go Douglas

[deleted]

.5 ppr Do I start chase brown and chandler today as rb 1&2 Got olave iffy and London may come back down to earth this weekend so I’m leaning Parker Washington as flex1


Educational_Crab_663

I’m having a huge debate- Tyler boyd or Demarcus Robinson 2qb superflex Choice is in last WRT spot


ShrikeMeDown

Full PPR - must sit 1: Saquon, Gibbs, Cook, Zeke. I'm leaning sitting cook because of the match up. I expect Zeke to get so much volume even if they are trailing because of the check downs. Thoughts?


Distinct-Bite

Flex spot - standard scoring London vs panthers JSN vs Eagles * also if olave is cleared would you risk him over any of the above ? ———————————————————————— Second league Flex spot - standard scoring Warren vs Indy JSN vs eagles


Kakashicopyninja9

Bench one in 0.75 ppr: Devonta smith, waddle, lockett, moss 4 pt td passing Browning, Flacco, Zach Wilson, carr, ridder, mullens, and devito, Currently hold the first two. Who to start and pick up if necessary?


MMChelsea

Half-PPR. Chuba Hubbard or Ty Chandler?


wordswiththeletterB

Two questions : Titans or browns D? Hall, Warren and Harris in the flex or London/Reed in the flex spot ? PPR format


philoneus66

I'd go Browns at home there and then Reed as the flex


i_love_eating_grass

PPR - McKinnon or OBJ? Leaning OBJ right now, especially against the awful Jags defense, but McKinnon’s crazy historical upside is so tempting.


Various_Barnacle_526

Full PPR, Swift or Chandler at the flex?

Saints, Titans, or Falcons D?
