I currently participate in about seven different fantasy football leagues, a couple of which are paid leagues and the rest are just for fun (and bragging rights). The two leagues that I probably pay the most attention to are my most expensive league on ESPN and the BRO Sports league on the NFL site which consists of a mix of Steemians and other Scorum users.
I probably should've posted this prior to the Thursday night game but I could use a bit of advice picking my QBs in these leagues for today. My decision for who to start at QB is probably a bit easier to make in the NFL league so let's begin with it.
My team name in both leagues is 'Bill Cosby's Sleepers.' This week I face the 0-2 Mile High Club and as you can see I'm already sitting on 49.3 points from the duo of MIN receivers Thielen and Diggs. Let's take a look at my roster...
I currently have Mahomes in at QB but the Tampa fan in me wants to play Fitzpatrick who is projected to score about 2 points less that Mahomes. There are so many analysts saying the 'magic' is gone with Fitzpatrick and he'll have a difficult time putting up points against a revived Chicago Bears defense. Last week Fitzy showed what can happen when he is pressured in the pocket with his three interceptions in the second quarter and he'll face a defense that is sure to pressure him. Should I start Fitzy over Mahomes or are there any other changes you would make in my lineup? Let me know in the comments below.
Hopefully I come up with another win this week to keep the undefeated streak going!
Now onto my ESPN league which a 12-team PPR league with a funky lineup setting. Sometimes I enjoy the strange lineup setting and some weeks it's a pain because there is no FLEX position but there are two dual purpose slots: RB/WR and WR/TE. Here is my current lineup as of writing this.
I'm not doing quite as well in this league as I would've liked after starting the season with a loss to last year's champion.However, I haven't lost since and projections have me winning again this week by about 27-29 points, but if you play fantasy you know predictions are rarely accurate.
I have two lineup choices to make here before kickoff today. Once again I'm most concerned with the QB position and this decision is a much tougher one to make than the other league between Ryan Fitzpatrick and Deshaun Watson. I'm also wondering if I should substitute Corey Davis in for DeSean Jackson.
If I do end up playing Fitzpatrick, I'll likely play D Jack as well to stack those two players. On the other hand, if I play Watson I also have Fuller V to stack with him. Let's take a look at this week's match up.
As you can see above I also had Thielen playing on Thursday night and he came through with just under 30 points, I'll take it! In the NFL league I'm facing an 0-2 team (because the league started a week late) and in the ESPN league I'm facing an 0-3 team. If a few players on his bench are cleared to play today, that projected lead I have could diminish greatly or even turn in his favor.
That's it for now. Time to start preparing some food for the games!
So, who should I play at QB this week in both leagues and should I sub out D Jack and C Davis instead?
Good luck to all you fantasy freaks out there this week!
