I've picked up the Cleveland defense already, but interested in this sub's thoughts on other players. Also grabbed Devonta Freeman since our league has a bench spot for players on IR specifically. Good luck to everyone going for the win!

Keep an eye out if someone drops Miami with their matchup against KC this week.
I would not be thrilled starting them against either the Pats or LV to be honest..
If you were a Maimi owner who would you target for weeks 15 and 16 at this point? Most of the obvious choices are gone in my league. The only guys I'd consider are the Cardinals Week 15 and 16, the Buccs week 16, or the Eagles week 16.
I dropped MIA for ARZ for week 15. Don't feel great about what's available for week 16 so waiting to see if there's any big injuries that happen this week that would improve a DEF Streamer

I would take all those options over Miami

I would. Look at the Rams against NE and Atlanta vs Vegas.
I'd trust them over Cleveland.
Will Miami DEF do well against NE ?
I did that but dolphins arent great against the run so I dont think Pat's are a good matchup and then vegas, with a healthy oline, doesn't usually turn the ball over
I'm trying to swap them for tampa for week 16 personally
As someone with a bye, I held onto them

Who are you rolling over them?

Samesies bro
Lmao there’s a salty down-voter who couldn’t do the same
I've been using Taysom Hill as my QB so I grabbed Drew Brees and put him in IR. Not sure why the guy who had him didn't just do that but he dropped him instead. I'm stashing Jalen Hurts as well- really doubt that Philly offense can get much going but it's worth a shot- maybe he can be like Kyler Murray weeks 15 and 16.
Picked up Coutee as well. His usage last week was too good to ignore. He could have some huge games if they keep that up with him.
If/when Gibson gets declared out I think I'll pick up Jeff Wilson Jr. If Mostert goes down he could be an RB2.
lol would u drop slayton for wilson?
I probably wouldn't drop anyone for Wilson unless your RB situation is dire. I'm only gonna add him if I get a free roster spot from Gibson going to IR spot.
I wouldn’t feel any need to stay attached to Slayton. He seems to be 3rd in line for targets behind Engram and Shepard. You’re playing him with the hope that he can catch a deep pass. There should be higher upside guys available on the waiver wire
Is Brees a good play in the playoffs coming back from broken ribs and punctured lung with a hot defense?
I'm thinking the same way as you with Hurts too. Debating on picking him up both him and Brees to hold
Would you drop Mattison for brees if you were the cook owner IF you also have kamara, Jonathan Taylor and miles sanders? Kyler is my starting qb, but I benched him for cousins last week and considering stashing another qb if Kyler continues to play like poop. I’m dropping cousins right before kickoff this week.
Also grabbed Cleveland D, and dropped Pittman for Hilton. Have the rams D as well so will be playing against the Jets for the entirety of my presumed playoff run.
I’m holding both of those defenses right now too but also have the Seattle D because I wasn’t sure if I would get my bye or not, which I did. I’m gonna hold them till right before kickoff them drop them for someone of value on waivers.
This is my plan too. Bucs or browns D for weeks 15 and 16?
Rams 15 browns 16 for me
Eagles D week 16 is solid$
Wilson or Pollard
Why pollard? They might bench Elliot since their already basically eliminated?
Yes, it seems as if Zeke may have injured his calf in Tuesday night’s game. If more bad news comes out today, and he were to miss Sunday, why rush him back if he’s not 100 percent? It’s pure speculation and unlikely, but worthy of a dart throw for the high upside imo.
haha i also added pollard for this reason. worst case scenario nothing happens and he wastes a spot on my bench or i just cut him. i think i dropped someone like coleman for him too so its not like i necessarily need the spot for someone else
Thanks
He's hurt and might not play this week
I keep thinking there will be someone who could benefit me but at this stage I think I would just be working to block players from my opponents rosters.
DST is the one area that might be worth addressing if you have been streaming.
I'm stashing Jeff Wilson Jr since my rb2 position got fucking destroyed with injuries. He looks like he is in a timeshare with Mostert and they play the Cowboys week 15.
Add in if by any chance Mostert gets dinged up he becomes a top waiver wire player for that week.
Yep, my rb2 is miles sanders and if he does bad this week with hurts I might start wilson next week.
Oh he is going to be bad this week. Saints run D is the best in the league. May be the only positive might be if he dumps off alot and Doug is not dumb enough to use Boston Scott for that.
Yeah it’s gonna be a tough decision for me next week. Do the cardinals have a good run d?
jeez, I am not sure but dont think they are a top unit like Bucs, Saints, Eagles
Shit i did the same thing but I actually have to decide between starting him or Peyton Barber for THIS week. My RB depth got nuked
I wouldnt start either this week personally. Both are going up against each other run D which is very good,
Thats the thing is that isn’t an option. I have to start one of them because they’re my best options
In that case I would slightly lean towards barber. Sorry it just sounds gross to me when I typed it out though lol
I scooped Gallop today. 19 targets in the last two games and a decent ROS schedule. Got this week to see if his connection with Dalton is real or not.
did the same. Dropped Snell for him.
Also: what handcuffs are y'all holding? I've got KHunt, Brian Hill (sad), Chase Edmonds and Jamaal Williams. Any worth grabbing off waivers?
Also a reminder to bench your players this week so you can drop them easily if they get injured!
Ito Smith appeared to be ahead of Brian Hill from what i read and saw, so i picked up Ito and dropped Hill to see what happens this week.
The bench move only works for yahoo correct?
Care to explain?
Yep, doesn’t seem to work for ESPN.
I’m struggling to find consensus on patriots and dolphins for week 15. I’m running Tampa bay if I make it to week 16.
I looked at it and currently have the Cardinals vs Jalen/Wentz for week 15. Still haven't decided. The dolphins always play the pats hard but it's still BB vs Tua/rookie qb.
Edit. Koerner has the phins at 7.5 for week 15 and bucs at 8.5 so he says buccs
Thanks! Good luck. 👍
I dropped Fitzmagic for Hilton. Odds of Hilton playing for me are slim to none(but that Hou matchup next week makes it possible) but the odds of me playing Fitz are 0. Worst case I’ll drop him right before week 16 for Anthony McFarland or another rookie with keeper potential but I’m riding with the team that got me here.
Cam Akers
As someone who got a bye but in TE hell, I’m targeting kittle
I grabbed him just so my opponents couldn’t. No way I’m getting walloped in the ‘ship by a Fant owner who just made the FA pickup of the postseason.
I'm trying to find a spot for Cole Kmet in my 2 TE league.
If Kmet gets a lot of work this week again, he'll be a top add for week 15 (maybe even THE top add). TE sucks.
Grabbed Pollard and Jeff Wilson Jr. My core team is fine, but if either Mostert or Zeke go down, I suddenly have an upgrade in my flex.
I have LAR for Week 15 and have to chose between TB, MIA, and PHI for week 16.
Atlanta destroyed the raiders few weeks ago why can't the dolphins do the same for week 16?
I think you should consider LAR for week 16. They played well against SEA in week 10, Wilson/Metcalf/Lockett are obviously amazing but have slowed down considerably and LAR has had SEA's number since McVay got there
I grabbed TB for week 16. Its between them and the browns for me
If both TB and CLE were available on your waivers, who would you pick up?
If both TB and CLE were available on your waivers, who would you pick up?
Dropped some bantha fodder and now I'm hoarding TB, PHI, and CLE defense lol
Cardinals d since I couldn’t get Rams
I have Herbert, but picked up Goff and Mayfield for 15/16 as an insurance policy.
I have Miami D, but also picked up Buffalo off waivers for Week 15 vs Denver. Planning to roll out Miami for Week 16 against the Raiders...Browns are available (Week 16 vs Jets), so I could drop Miami for the Browns. Seems a little too cute though (even with a first round bye).
Browns play Jets week 16...
No one, ride or die with the dudes that got me here
Did you not make moves during the season that helped you get the first round bye though? This is the type of logic that lands you in 4th place.
Are you playing a waiver guy in the second or third round of playoffs or the guys that have proven they can score? Load up on backups and defenses and let someone else take the chance
Last year Breahad Perriman won me the ship
If mims AND crowders out, it’s full stream ahead for perriman
Injuries happen all the time so why would you not load up on a couple high upside waiver wire guys in case you need them? Think league winner 2018 Damien Williams.
Definitely agree on picking up handcuffs and D's - I might have mistakenly assumed you were not even doing that.
Main point being that being complacent with your team is imo not a good strategy for winning championships. Gotta be vigilant to the end.
Def gotta stay on it. Good luck
While I agree you should play them if you have them but if you have roster space, it’s not a bad idea to grab a handcuff or replacement in case one of your guys gets hurt on your bye week
or just to snag a player before someone else 😈
