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 2, 0.5ppr
Monty @ MIN
Dobbins @ ARI
Hubbard @ WAS
MIN have given up 2nd fewest points to RB position but still Monty scored at least 1 TD every game right so he's pretty much undroppable, right?

Monty and Hubbard. You might get a game where Gibbs gets more of the gl work but Montgomery is usually good for 15 points and has been involved in the receiving a game a bit this year. Campbell loves him so much. Will Vidal eat into Dobbins' playing time a lot?
For the Monday night Miracle....Laddy or Mike Wilson in 1PPR?
Pick 2 of 4 in non PPR. Had Denver D, so I’m pretty solid, floor is probably more important.
Kareem Hunt @SF
Josh Downs vs MIA
Davante @ Pit
Ty Tracy vs Philly
Thinking Hunt and Tracy. Downs is rough without Flacco and Jets have just been ass
4 pt passing tds:
Cousins vs Seattle
Stroud vs packers
6 pt passing tds:
Cousins vs Seattle
Darnold vs lions
Pick two, non ppr:
Allgier vs Seattle
Worthy vs 49ers
Sermon vs dolphins
Pickens vs jets
Leaning allgier and torn between worthy vs sermon. Don’t think I want to start Pickens vs jets/gardner
Brian Robinson Jr or Tyler goodson? :(
I have to decide now
If you have zero hedges, I would just start Goodson
6pt passing tds
Baker vs ATL
Mahomes @ LV
Or I can add one of these from waivers:
Nix vs CAR
Lawrence vs GB
12 team PPR need a flex. Does this order change if Etienne is OUT?
Wan'Dale @PIT
Bigsby v GB
Tolbert @SF
6pt passing tds
Baker vs ATL
Mahomes @ LV

Nix vs CAR
Lawrence vs GB
Have to think Baker takes a big hit without Evans and Godwin.
Mahomes might be the guy even though he's sucked so far. That is if you buy the revenge narratives; last loss was vs the Raiders and then the whole thing with the Raiders making fun of Mahomes using a Kermit doll in the offseason.
Nix obviously has the dream matchup, but hasn't shown much in games where he has the opportunities. 200 avg pass yds, 0 TDs, and 4 INTs in the 3 games where he had 35 or more attempts. Plus, Payton may just want to run the ball 40 times.
No idea what to think of Lawrence. Both as a fantasy QB in general and against a Packers defense that just held Stroud (who I think is miles better than Trevor) to 86 yards.
Is Puka playable tonight? .5ppr
Need a 2nd flex
Puka vs Min
Pearsall vs Dal
Bucky vs Atl
Tracey vs Pit
Mostert vs Ari
It’s a tough call. I’d probably roll Puka out of that group, depending on what the final pregame reports say and from what source.
I have one league where I can start 4 WRs and have BTJ, London, Nabers, Puka, Pickens, JSN, so benching Puka there.
But another league where I need 2 of Puka, Addison, Worthy, and Diontae, so probably playing Puka here.
Although, not so sure after seeing this lol.
Interesting if Puka goes tonight.
Would have to slot him in over Tank in one spot. Tank has been such a void I don't know if a hobbled Puka is any worse.
The other spot trickier, fighting with Higgins/Wilson/Pittman/Olave/Dowdle for a WR and flex spot. Probably safer to avoid starting Puka here in case of a goose-egg.

I would play Tank (either) over Puka for sure
I’d be Higgins/Wilson for the second one
Looks like most of their stuff is behind a paywall, but I did manage to find this
*Note: I've never used this source before so I can't comment on it's validity.
Puka was definitely the play haha
Yup. You know he's fine when they're throwing in runs for him.
Picking up right where he left off last year haha. Guess I should have played him in both of my spots, but at least I started in him in 1.
Coach and media reports are all smoke and mirrors. Except action Dan Campbell. That dude is a straight shooter.
2nd QB in a 2QB league
Anthony Richardson
Geno Smith
Pick 2 in half PPR
Olave
Kamara
Tank Bigsby
Alexander Mattison
Those saints guys have just fallen hard. Rough not starting them, but they’ve been garbage for three weeks
Caleb Williams @ Washington
Stroud vs colts
Not sure what to do with deebo this week, he’s questionable and has practiced some but still recovering from pneumonia. On the other hand, it’s a smash spot with aiyuk and Jennings out
Pick 2, non ppr
Jayden reed vs jags
Pickens vs giants
Deebo vs cowboys
Non ppr, pick one:
Deebo vs cowboys (have wandale Robinson if he doesn’t play)
Worthy vs raiders
Ppr, need a flex:
Cedric Tillman vs ravens
Tracy vs Steelers
Mattison be chiefs
Leans on top, although on the last one I have no idea

w DK out and Smith playing outdoors, i feel the 2nd QB is a toss-up. i'd flip a coin
for the pick 2, i'd go w Kamara and Mattison
