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
pick 1 ppr
elijah higgins vs wash
gesicki @car
strange @hou
jonnu smith vs tenn
Pick 1 PPR
Deebo vs NE
Jauan Jennings vs NE
Jaxon Smith-Njigba @ DET
Xavier Worthy @ LAC
My concern if Deebo plays, he's either on a pitch count or used as a decoy, which makes him and Jennings worthless plays
Projected to win by 20, so feel like I want the highest floor among the 4

highest floor imo is JSN, although there is variance as he led the team in TGT% in Week 2 and wasn't in the team's top 3 in Week 3
that said, i'd go w Deebo
Pick 1, 0.5ppr
Mooney vs TB
Jennings vs Ari
Flowers @ Cin
darnold vs NYJ in london
williams vs Car
obviously darnold is much better, but against the jets who give up the least amount to fantasy QBs AND it's the london game making me think Caleb is the play at home vs carolina? im like a 10pt favorite on yahoo and the projected difference between the two is 16.2(darnold)- 14.4(williams). or is this just FPS and dont worry about london games?
6pt passing tds
Mayfield @ ATL Thursday night
Mahomes vs NO Monday night

I think I go Deebo too
need a flex option. full PPR
Najee Harris
Travis Etienne
Brian Thomas
Zay Flowers
fantasy pros rates them Etienne, Harris, Flowers, Thomas, but I'm kind of leaning Thomas as I think he's on the improve and the other three all make me feel icky for different reasons.
am i being dumb??
Half PPR
Crazy to consider Tee Higgins over Tyreek? My other two WRs are Olave and Diontae Johnson.

I think you might be stuck with Harris here since neither Warren or Patterson are practicing this week. Steelers just called up RB Aaron Shampklin so if you are worried about him stealing touches then picking BTj over Etienne comes down to preference.
I would rather wait and see what changes 0-4 Doug Pederson has in mind to save his job.

As per my post above, I’m gonna ride with Thomas I think. Harris isn’t a bad play (haven’t seen what’s happening with Warren) but he just makes me feel slightly dirty!
I feel like the Mondre not starting narrative is a bull **** technicality to “teach him a lesson.”
With that said, PPR:
Gibson vs Mia
Tracy @Sea
Also PPR:
McLaurin vs Cle
JSN vs NYG
Worthy vs NO

First one is tough. Could probably flip a coin and have better luck with an outcome.
2nd one I like worthy. The other 2 matchups should have both teams in front early and could end up being more ground games than passing.
I don’t wanna give an answer on who to play since I’m in that league, but I will say that I don’t think Worthy’s role gets much better without Rice. He just isn’t going to get those short area targets that likely end up going to Kelce mostly and juju a bit possibly.
If his role does change, I’d prefer to see it first especially since you have 2 options that are quite a bit better in terms of median projection
Yeah, that’s how I feel about Worthy. I expect his route tree and role to continue to progress, but I also expect it to be more gradual and not immediate, even with the Rice injury. With that said, he’s live for a 50+ yard TD every week.
At least I got 16 from McLaughlin to start the week. Helps offset going against Evans.
