Four teams on bye this week:
Denver Broncos, LA Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins


Default FF trade deadline for most formats is later this week before week 12 games, so make your proposals and try to improve your squad for the playoff push if you can.

managers planning ahead - there are zero bye weeks for TG week in wk 13, but the last four bye weeks are in week 14 after trade deadlines. CAR, SF, NE, NYG


Injuries to monitor/ put your speculative waiver claims in if you have roster room:
Josh Jacobs and Jaylen Warren left their games with injuries. Emanuel Wilson and Ken Gainwell will be popular waivers, even though both starters' injuries sound like they'll turn out to be minor and both could still suit up week 12.

other happenings: Drake London injured, Ja'Marr Chase suspended, some previously injured players could be making come backs in week 12. what else?


I dropped Croskey-Merritt on Sunday. Looked like his coaches are done with him and settled on Chris Rodriguez as their main guy, even though it appeared to be the opposite earlier this season. CRod may be a good waiver pickup for those needing potential flex/rb2 down the stretch.

Mooney could be a good pickup with the London-less Falcons and Cousins at QB.

If michael Wilson is on the bench I'd add him.
Id target any defense playing Las Vegas, Cleveland, Atlanta and the Titans.

Is Marv Harrison Jr returning this week or no?

Projected to miss week 12 in sleeper.

the Raiders playoff schedule:

week 15 at Eagles
week 16 at Texans
week 17 vs. Giants

might be tough to find Philly or Houston on the waiver wire at this point, but they have a couple of unfavorable matchups between then and now

sounds like Warren will be okay to play Sunday

Jacobs tbd

i need a defense and a kicker for this week since DEN is on bye and my fairbairn replacement Eddy P got hurt too.


...but also, looking ahead for 2 defenses for playoff weeks, there really don't seem to be any great wk 15, 16, 17 defense matchups that should be widely available.

Successful waiver strategy this week. Was able to drop Flacco for Jakobi Myers under waiver. Then in free agency drop Parker Washington to pick up Jayden Reed. Then put Reed in the IR slot and picked up the Broncos Defense to pair with the Ravens down the stretch.

With Chase on suspension I now need 2 WRs to start in ppr:

Tet McMillian
Parker Washington
Tez Johnson
Tre Tucker

I'm down Jamaar Chase, Drake London, Deebo (bye), and Harvey (bye) in a must win against 2nd best team. Also Baker in a bad matchup.

Picked up Emmanuel Wilson, Michael Wilson, and Jared Goff today. If MHJ ends up playing, then I will pickup Mooney. Other issue is I'm currently starting Bucky, but if he doesn't play my only other options are Pacheco (also hurt) or Monangai. Gainwell is still available. Is Warren one we just monitor and if still not practicing tomorrow go get Gainwell?

NO DEF is interesting, they've had a lot of tough matchups but schedule gets alot lighter. I'm probably going to start them this week at home vs ATL.

Getting very thing at WR with London injured, Mcconkey on bye, McLaurin on bye & hurt, Wilson on IR....

Need to drop one of McLaurin or Wilson to make room. Leaning McLaurin

Should I pick up Godwin (possibly injured) or Jakobi Meyers? Leaning Meyers

Yeah, I think I'd lean McLaurin. Garrett Wilson can't return from IR until FF playoffs week 15 at the earliest- and even still might not return by then. ...You'll certainly be starting London and McConkey during the playoffs. Don't think you'll need to depend on McLaurin or Wilson in playoffs, but in a pinch in week 16 or 17 for a championship, I'd set my hopes on Garrett as a #1 wr for a bad team over McLaurin who might be washed and still takes a back seat to Deebo anyway. Benefit of keeping Wilson is keeping him in the IR spot for the next three weeks at least.

Godwin returned to practice last week before being ruled out. I think he comes back. I'd lean Godwin in that offence over Jakobi, who has BTJ returning.

Flex decision this week. Pick one(PPR):

C Brown vs NE
Etienne @ Ari
D Adams vs TB


Probably going to start Egbuka and Higgins in the two WR slots. JT and Gibbs at RB. Adams is still dealing with that oblique and while he had 8 targets last week, only got 1 catch(for a td thankfully) I feel like the other two are better plays.


Leaning Brown bc he's been on a tear of late, but he's got a tough matchup against the Pats. But Etienne hasn't slouched either and has a juicier matchup

isn't Tuten banged up? if so, Etienne is your answer.

Agree with Etienne on this one

Ok back to my all of a sudden QB debate:

Allen at Hou
Maye vs Cin

I think I am going to go with Maye as that bengals defense is just awful. But sitting Allen after last week just feels criminal

you certainly wouldn't be chasing points after Allen scored six TDs last week... but I get it. on the road, Thursday night, HOU d is really good..

Yeah I was reading the Texans thread and he has never played well in Houston + they are #1 against QBs this year, so I think he goes to the bench this week for me

start your studs

Flacco with no Chase might not get to double digits, could be the Hendo show

I think you need to avoid the HOU defense at all costs. start Maye, even in his team's blowout games, he is still putting up big points, so no risk of it being just run heavy all game.
======================================================

With Chase on suspension I now need 2 WRs to start in ppr:

Tet McMillian
Parker Washington
Tez Johnson
Tre Tucker

12 team PPR

Michael Wilson v JAX
Alec Pierce @ KC

If I play Wilson I'll probably sit the JAX defense and play NO v ATL (w/ Cousins at QB and no London)

Thanks for the input!

Ricky Pearsall just became available. Havent followed him much though, worth picking up over the other two?

I'm waiting to see if BTJ is out, if he is I think Jakobi is a higher floor pick over Godwin for this week.

is Pearsall a better pickup than Godwin or Jakobi? I don't know.

Pearsall was all the rage in pre-season talk with the way he finished last year and speculation that Aiyuk could miss the entire season if not most of it. and he was living up to high expectations for volume the first couple of weeks before injury... but now? first week back and he had one catch on three targets for zero yards.. still not sure if Aiyuk could be back soon.

He could be great for ROS, but highly speculative. also speculative, but I might lean Godwin coming back healthy with Baker slinging the ball around. Pearsall probably has higher ROS rankings on the sites. I like Jakobi as a #1 wr. He's a 2 at JAX along with parker washington. He hasn't had a great two games at JAX with no BTJ and now BTJ could come back.

Pearsall

Some noise today that Bucky Irving may actually sit out this week. Sean Tucker is sitting on my free agency list. Should I speculatively add him and drop Xavier Worthy?

Ronde Barber who works for the team and travels with them made the claim "Bucky will not be back this week"

Do we trust it?

T&P to those benching Josh Allen

Same situation here and I would also be dropping worthy

Because of a James cook TD?

Josh Allen with a whopping 3.84 fantasy points at half time

from 6 TD's last week to zero this week

Texans D/ST looks matchup proof

I have Josh Allen. My opponent this week has HOU defense.
