2024 FF sit/start thread
This was very helpful for me last season so here we go again!
Last years OP:
We're less than a week away from the season starting, so let's get a pick my lineup thread going. Some useful guidelines I would suggest:
- If you're asking a question, it'd be nice if you gave answers on someone else's question at the same time. Thread works better when there's more feedback all around
- Please list the opposing team for your players, and if pertinent, timings of games. Matchups matter, as do timings - it is not unusual to have something where you're asking two out of three playe
Don't think its possible to sit JJ, lol. Stuck there.
I don't know what to do with Vikes D in that rain or Bills D in the cold. Both seem good.
Yea not suggesting that at all. More so sitting guys in this game if it’s a close decision. Murray has pissed me off this year but think I need to start him vs panthers vs darnold in that kind of weather. Would also look at different kicker options if you had one from that game.
Think I would go bills over Vikings but like both
Need some help fast.
Pick one flex 1/2 ppr
Etienne @ LV
Charbs vs Min
Strange @ LV
Metcalf vs Min
I've got Metcalf in there right now, but he has sucked and the weather is bad. Should I bench him?
I’d probably go Etienne and hope for another 70%+ snap share and maybe finally a TD. Strange would be my second choice.
All of those options have low floors and questionable ceilings.

Thanks.
Do you read anything into Charbs being named captain? He has come through for me.
Benching Charbs or DK for Etienne feels weird. But if it wasn't a close call, I wouldn't be here.
I try not to read into that stuff. Charbs has simply not been good for fantasy when KW is active. At best, seems like it’ll be a 50/50 split in a tough RB matchup. But maybe with the weather, both see 15+ touches.
I don’t trust DK at all.
Etienne hasn’t been good either, so I get it.
Strange has too small of a sample to know whether it’s sticky or not, but after last week, I wouldn’t blame you for chasing it.
Ultimately, whoever gets a TD will probably score the best. RBs usually have a better shot that pass catchers.
Vegas prop projections for .5 PPR have it
Charbs - 6
DK - 11
Etienne - 9.2
Strange - 7
So they hate Charbs, and would favor DK of the 4. With that said, DK has only score 11+ .5 PPR 3x this season. He also had two games at 10.9 and 10.5.

Thanks. I went DK. Minn pass defense sucks and I'm not convinced on the weather. Obviously Strange or Etienne will now go off.
Happy Super Bowl or good luck in the third place/consolation games to all. I’m lucky enough to be in the Super Bowl for this one
Pick 2: jennings v Det Addison v GB thielen @ TB
One defense: Seattle @ Chicago dolphins @ CLE
TYVMIA
^^ poor format but it’s Seattle’s D or Miamis D in case it was unclear

Addison and Dolphins D seems pretty straight forward there.
If I'm picking one of the others, I prefer the Jennings ceiling and the Thielen floor (so pick what you need).
Do we think KW3 plays? If not, I need to pick a replacement.
Warren vs KC (Christmas Day game)
Mattison @ NO
Leaning Warren if they update the status of KW3 early enough. Also trying to get Edwards on waivers, or I have Dobbins if he gets activated this week.
I would go mattison based on matchups. Saints looked like the worse team in the leauge last night. Chiefs are the number 1 run d
Having games every day except Friday is a fantasy **** show lol.
But yeah, I like Mattison of those two, especially if you can play Charbs over both. I’m not sure we’ll have KW’s status before the Chiefs kickoff tomorrow. But I lean pretty strongly KW won’t be playing.
Seattle has nothing to play for this week. They can’t make the WC, and if the Rams beat the Cardinals this week, the Rams are in. If the Rams lose, then whether Sea wins or loses this week, w18 against the Rams would be for the division.
Somehow I luckboxed into the final. Here's the first of my many lol decisions:
P. Friermuth vs KC
J. Ferguson @ PHI
I'm down Conner, so I was gonna put in G. Edwards. Do we think Dobbins is going to play and take most of the carries?

Probably Muth, but both are going to project poorly lol.

There’s still a chance Conner and/or Benson plays. If not, I’d probably chase Michael Carter over Gus needing TDs.
Agreed with goat. Don’t think Dobbins will play this week.
Can I assume that if no Conner, then M. Carter is a better option T. Etienne in 1/2 ppr?
1/2 PPR
M. Pittman @ NYG
T. Etienne vs TEN
Can I assume that if no Conner, then M. Carter is a better option T. Etienne in 1/2 ppr?
I’d for sure like Carter more than Etienne if both Conner and Benson are out. If Benson plays and Conner doesn’t, I might still lean Carter, or Benson if he’s available. Etienne has been so bad.
Gross. Both are more likely than not to score single digits. Etienne is probably more likely to score a TD, so I’d probably lean that way.
Probably not. I guess Likely could be interesting, but I think I’d rather just hope the Steelers have to pass.
All 5 of those options will have single digit projections, so whoever gets the TD will be the best choice.
In the Championship!
Matt Stafford vs Arizona,
Or
Geno Smith at Chicago?
6 pt passing TD’s.
Stafford’s been abjectly terrible the last two weeks

Lean Stafford. They are gonna want to end things next week and be able to rest up for the playoffs. AZ has nothing to play for. They're gonna score pts, its just a question of run or pass.
Seahawks really don't GAF. Also lots of injuries. Might as well rest up and cheer for the cards on the weekend.
Yup, the score points but a question of run/pass is the tough part. They’re projected for 27 points but are also 6.5 point favorites. They could do a lot of it on the ground, especially after we just watched Chuba gash the Cards. Seems like a pure flip between those 2 options. Bears are also a good matchup.
I’m not sure what to do with Kupp. I think I’m going to have to bench him.
Have Nico and BTJ locked in. Need to start one more WR between Kupp, Ridley and London.
Will likely be playing RB in the flex since I can start up to 3 of Achane, Bucky, Charbs, Breece, Pollard and Spears. Achane and Bucky are locked in.

I assume Charbs clearly gets the call as your RB flex if Walker is out? I think I'm gonna roll out Charbs in that spot myself.
