Big decision - sitting right on the playoff bubble with 3 weeks to go.

Really struggling on this one: Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Washington or Carson Wentz vs Dallas Sunday night.

Sorry if this is a stupid one but I'm really on the fence, he's got Big Ben and McCaffery going tonight so it may all be for naught.

Fitz vs wash or Luck vs jags at QB

Mahomes off this week.

Rodgers is my backup but I'm considering picking up Mayfield and starting him.

Yes or no?

Brees against Tampa in bad weather or Jackson against a bad KC defense in fair weather?

Brees.

Yahoo's Brad Evans reported this morning: "For those FREAKING about weather in Tampa, R-E-L-A-X. Line of showers and t'storms should exit around game time. Winds not a major factor. Play your Saints/Bucs with the upmost confidence."

Standard scoring - Ware v BAL or Blount @ ARI

PPR Start 3 of 4 - Cohen v LAR Chubb v CAR Mixon @ LAC Samuels @ OAK

I'm leaning Blount and Cohen, Chubb and Samuels.

PPR Justin Jackson or Chris Carson

Carson has been consistently putting up dd points and it looks like they are relying on him in all the big situations He won't explode but you can bank 10-15 points with him. Jackson may have a huge game against the Chiefs on Thursday night as the starter and primary back.

Make sure you are paying attention to the final hour before the game starts. Lot of sources saying Gordon looking a lot better now and may be able to go.

Jackson, Melvin Gordon went 15 carries for 64 yards and 9 Receptions for 104 yards in week 1 against KC. 168 yards total. Eckler had 5 receptions for 87 yards and 39 more yards running.

Carson is still in that running back by committee system even though he's getting the majority of touches watching Penny get his TD's at goaline situations is infuriating.

The O/U for tonight's game is 53, expecting a lot of work out of Jackson running and receiving with all signs pointing to Gordon and Eckler being out tonight.

I really feel like the outcome of my game is going to be determined by Jackson or Carson. I have to coach baseball tonight so Im not sure I'll be able to chart.

My guess is the Chargers are looking at the situation the same way the Bears did Mack and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. It seems incredibly short sighted to push a guy back on a Thursday when you already have a playoff spot locked up

Damien Williams or Cohen..full PPR.

I'm leaning toward Williams.

Are you crazy?

I go Cohen there and it's a fairly easy choice. Charcandrick West is expected to get 8-12 touches tonight per the Chiefs beat reporters.

The Chargers are still in the running for the division and the number 1 seed. They have A LOT to play for still. Agreed they shouldn't rush him back but if he's good to go he should definitely be on the field tonight.

Bucs don't have much of a running attack, which means Fitz could be running for his life. I checked my site and Wentz is ranked #5 this week and Fitzmagic is #11. Tate should be a big help as well. Mitch is ranked #13 Good luck, boys!

Looks like nice weather in DC, but if projected point totals are close, I'll most always give a nod to the player in the dome. Redskins have allowed 26.6 FPG avg.to QB's the past four weeks.Projected point total this week for Fitz 19.6 Jag D have allowed 24.7 FPG avg.to QB's the past four weeks, but only an avg. of 203 yards passing. Projected point total for Luck 18.6 Really close, but if it's my team, I'm going with Luck at home in the dome.

Yeah i think Damien Williams is a pretty risky play. Seems like people are treating him as must-start high end RB2. We'll see, but I'd like to minimize the unknown as much as possible in the fantasy playoffs. I would only start him if I was pretty desperate. Zero chance I'm benching a stud like Cohen for him.

PPR Dalvin Cook vs GB or Damien Williams vs. Chargers (assuming Ware does not play Williams should be main guy in backfield for Chiefs)

Post subject:	Re: 2018 Start em or Sit em
Cook plays Miami I look for him to carry a heavy load with Stefanski. I'd go Cook. I think Mahomes will make up for the lack of running game by throwing 60 times.

I saw something at lunchtime today that Chris Carson has something like the fifth most carries in the NFL since week 11.

He just texted me that he is doing it to counteract Mahomes for me. Chacandrick has almost seemed like a Chief practice squad player over the years who they could stash in a condo in KC and bring out in a time of need. I think they will surprise and rely on him a lot more than people expect tonight.

No way it isn't a risk to play. I think the talk otherwise is just gamesmanship
